Chapter 49: The Rat-Thrower
From the moment she heard Tang Qianqian mention the third prince, Mei Zijin's face sank, and her heart was cold.
Later, when I heard the old lady's words, and saw that everyone was unanimously matching Shui Qingqing, looking forward to her marrying the third prince, Mei Zijin couldn't help but burst into vinegar in her heart.
The deep light swept over Shui Qingqing's face standing in the center of the room, passing by her slightly red and swollen red lips, and there was an indescribable throbbing in her heart.
The cold light swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Tang Qianqian, who was chattering and talking energetically. Mei Zijin coldly reprimanded: "The Third Highness is unfathomable, how can you guess his intentions?" These words, when they are spread, will only make people mistakenly think that the Hou Mansion wants to climb the royal family - so, if Ben Hou hears such words again, Ben Hou will be severely punished! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was instantly chilled, and everyone's faces were stunned, and even the old lady's expression was a little embarrassed.
Although the old lady felt that Mei Zijin was too strict, everyone was just an ordinary joke, but he took it seriously. But I have to say that he is right, before the matter is decided, how can he casually make royal jokes?!
It's just that there have been such jokes in the past, and at that time, Mei Zijin just ignored them silently, and never spoke as fiercely as she does today.
Thinking like this, the old lady couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, and followed his words to look at Mei Zijin carefully.
At this glance, the old lady found that there was a scar on his lips, which seemed to have just been injured and had not yet formed a scar. I couldn't help but ask, "Zijin, what's wrong with your lips?" ”
Hearing this, the eyes of a room full of people suddenly looked at Mei Zijin, and the four aunts stared at his lips carefully, only to find that his lower lip was close to his inner lip, which seemed to be ...... Bitten?!
This discovery can't help but surprise everyone!
And when Shui Qingqing heard the old lady suddenly mention Mei Zijin's mouth, her originally pale face was instantly red and dripping blood, and her face was on fire.
Fortunately, the eyes of several aunts and the old lady were focused on Mei Zijin's bitten lips, and they did not notice her abnormality. Shui Qingqing hurriedly took the dress in Ye's mother's hand, lowered her head and silently retreated to the bottom.
But even so, Mama Jin, who had been standing silently behind Bai Lingwei, had her eyes falling coldly on her since Shui Qingqing came in.
Therefore, the sudden surprise of her face just now did not escape Mama Jin's vicious and sharp eyes.
And when she thought of the news from the countryside this morning, Mama Jin felt a strong hatred in her heart, and her eyes stared at Shui Qingqing more and more viciously, not letting go for a moment......
It turned out that since she suspected that Shui Qingqing was Yun'er's biological mother who was sunk in the lake by them, Mama Jin tested Shui Qingqing with sesame cakes, but on the other hand, she quickly went to the countryside to pick up her sister Aunt Jin back to Beijing and identified Shui Qingqing in person.
However, today Mama Jin got the news that Aunt Jin was killed by bandits on the way back to the city, and her body was not found......
The moment she got the news, Mama Kim was devastated. While sending people around to find the whereabouts of Mrs. Jin's body, he sadly returned to Baifu to report to the Yang family.
After hearing the news of Aunt Jin's accident, Yang was also shocked, and he felt even more faintly uneasy in his heart, always feeling that his daughter's fake pregnancy and childbirth would soon be discovered.
And Aunt Jin's accident also made the Yang family and Mama Jin even more suspicious of Shui Qingqing. Mama Jin even decided that it was Shui Qingqing who let her sister die......
When Mama Jin told the Yang family about her guess, according to the Yang family's ruthless methods in the past, she would definitely let Mama Jin find a way to eradicate her, no matter whether Shui Qingqing was that foreign girl or not, just in case.
Thinking of the rumors he heard about Shui Qingqing and the third prince Li You, the Yang family threw himself into a trap again.
Because of some old things, or because of her, Empress Chen has been angry with her husband Bai Haoqing for many years, and she has gradually forgiven him in recent years, which has led to Bai Haoqing's official promotion of worshipping Zuo Xiang.
The Emperor Ming of Jin is very old, and the prince has reached an imminent situation, the third prince is the concubine of Queen Chen, and there is the first king with a different surname in the Great Jin Dynasty - Wujing Wangfu behind him, and he is even more talented, strategic, and is the best and most powerful candidate for the prince.
After Bai Haoqing became the left minister, he had already worshiped under the account of the three princes. If the three princes succeed in competing for the crown prince, they will be established as the crown prince and serve the three princes......
Therefore, at this moment, the Bai family, who had just regained the trust of Empress Chen and the three princes, would never dare to offend the three princes again
And the Yang family, who couldn't figure out the relationship between Qing Qingqing and the third prince, was naturally afraid of Shui Qingqing......
Thinking of this, the Yang family sighed helplessly and unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said: "The master is now working for the third prince, and this third prince is entangled with that slut in an unclear way, killing her is a small matter, but offending the third prince is a big matter, not to mention that there is a queen Chen behind the third prince who has always had a prejudice against me...... Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed."
Mama Jin understood Yang's meaning and difficulties, but if she let Shui Qingqing go like this, she would not agree to die.
A terrifying cold light burst out of her gloomy eyes, and Mama Jin wiped the tears from her face and said hatefully: "Madam, although because of the third prince, we can't kill that slut with one knife to relieve our hatred, but we must find out her identity and motives, and we can't let her hurt Miss again." ”
Yang's sharp eyes sank, and he said coldly: "This is nature. She thinks that without Aunt Jin, we won't be able to let her show up - a big Sheng family is here, I don't believe it, the Sheng family's mouth is so hard, they will always hide it for her! ”
Hearing that the Yang family was going to find out Shui Qingqing's identity from the Sheng family, Mama Jin was overjoyed, and then thought of something, and said: "Madam, that foreign girl once told the second sister about her affairs in the Ximo husband's family, and the husband's surname is Wang, and she is from the Wang family's town. Do you want to send someone to the West Desert to find the Wang family and identify this slut? ”
Yang's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Send someone to do it immediately!" ”
After getting the approval of the Yang family, Mama Jin immediately sent someone to the Western Desert......
Therefore, Mama Jin, who is bent on avenging her sister's blood hatred, does not go to see the bite on Mei Zijin's mouth like everyone else, but keeps looking at Shui Qingqing with vicious eyes, eager to kill her immediately to avenge her sister, and even with Yun'er, it makes her hateful......
A room full of people, except for Mama Jin and Shui Qingqing, everyone else was 'concerned' about Mei Zijin, whose lips were injured, and no one noticed the difference between the two at all.
Mei Zijin, who was being watched by everyone, almost imperceptibly swept from Shui Qingqing's face, who had silently retreated to the corner, and when she saw the flush on her face, it seemed that she had drunk sweet honey, which was sweet from her mouth to her heart.
Even the bite on her lip didn't hurt anymore, and she felt comfortable.
The slender and distinct fingers gently stroked the bite marks on his lips, and Mei Zijin not only dissipated the indifferent aura of his whole body, but also eased his voice a lot.
He said indifferently: "I was accidentally ...... Biting! ”
His answer, hearing the ears of the old lady and the four aunts, just thought that he had been accidentally bitten by his own teeth, but listening to Shui Qingqing's ears, it made her whole body feel excited, and a tingling sensation spread from the soles of her feet all over her body, not only on her face, but also on her body.
At this moment, the next person came, the table was ready, and the masters were invited to move to the dining room to eat.
Shui Qingqing sat at the bottom of the round table as usual, just opposite Mei Zijin who was sitting at the top.
From beginning to end, his eyes seemed to have been looking at the various dishes on the table, but Yu Guang had been looking at Shui Qingqing opposite.
Let her bow her head and pick up the rice is even more like sitting on pins and needles.
Finally finished eating the loose table, Shui Qingqing said goodbye to the old lady and left the Shi'an Courtyard with Xiaoxi as if she were running away......
Back at Tingsheng Courtyard, thinking that Shui Qingqing was going to the Three Princes' Mansion for a banquet tomorrow, Xiaoxi was so excited that she brought hot water to serve Shui Qingqing to bathe, and let her rest early, so that she could recuperate and go to the banquet tomorrow.
But there are too many things that happened on this day, whether it is what Mei Zijin told her about the origin of the rouge box. Or was her identity in place of Sheng Yu stabbed by Mei Zijin. It was even his kiss without warning that he showed his heart, and all the piles made Shui Qingqing excited and sleepy.
Her eyes widened in the darkness, and she stared at the gauze tent above her head in a daze, and her heart was messy. Sometimes according to the clues that Mei Zijin told her, she guessed the identity of her biological parents, and sometimes thought of the entanglement between her and Mei Zijin......
In this way, until the third watch, the entire Hou Mansion fell asleep, Xiaoxi had already fallen asleep outside, but Shui Qingqing had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep for a long time.
However, at this moment, she heard the faint sound of footsteps in the courtyard again.
The whole body was cold, the cold hair on Shui Qingqing's body stood up again, and in the next moment, something suddenly came to mind in his mind, and he immediately got up and pushed the door out, and sure enough, he saw a masked man standing in the courtyard at night.
The two-day appointment had arrived, and he came!
When the masked assassin saw her come out, his thin lips hooked up a smug sneer under the mask, and he said coldly: "I have sent someone to intercept Aunt Jin on the way back to the capital, and she will never come back to identify you." What I promised you has been done, what is going on on your side? ”
Shui Qingqing's whole body was relieved, and her previous worries were also put down, and she told him the news she had inquired about from Lu Lin.
"The witch doctor died the last time you fought each other, and it was Mei Zijin who was willing to block the news - so I don't need to do it again, I can be considered to have completed the deal between us!"
The masked assassin thought for a moment, but believed her words, and said, "Then do you know what happened to the cold poison on Mei Zijin's body?" ”
With a tight heart, Shui Qingqing knew that she couldn't let the assassin know that she had detoxified Mei Zijin.
But she also understood that the fact that the cold and paralyzing poison on Mei Zijin's body had been resolved, and she couldn't hide it from the mask assassin. So according to what he thought before, he pushed everything onto Lu Lin.
It is said that Lu Lin, the friend with outstanding medical skills next to Mei Zijin, found an antidote to the poison of cold paralysis from the prescription in the witch doctor's bag, so he ...... The poison on Mei Zijin's body has been successfully resolved! ”
One moment ago, when he heard that the mask assassin of the witch doctor had died, he was relieved, and he was happy that Mei Zijin was going to be tortured by the cold paralysis poison day and night, and when he felt that he was relieved of his hatred, the next moment he heard that Mei Zijin's cold paralysis poison was cured.
The great contrast made the mask assassin resentful, and the chill in his heart spontaneously appeared, and his deep eyes were terrifyingly blood-red, staring at Shui Qingqing whose whole body was tense to tremble.
The next moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, pressed her against the wall, Sen's cold mask pressed against her pale face, and said fiercely: "If I find out that you are lying to me, I will definitely make you unable to live, you can't die—I will destroy the things you care about the most with my own hands!" ”
The terrifying aura on the masked assassin made Shui Qingqing feel chilled for a while. And what he said made her feel like hell all over-
He knows all her things, so to speak, now that Aunt Jin is gone, he is the only person in the world who knows her secrets.
Therefore, he knew that the thing she cared about the most was Yun'er, and if he wanted to destroy it, it would be easy.
But now, she has no way back but to grit her teeth and continue to make up lies.
The throat was choked by him, the feeling of suffocation was familiar and terrifying, Shui Qingqing reached out to break the masked assassin's hand, looked at him with pity, and begged him to let him go.
This was the second time she had shown him this kind of begging look, and the masked assassin's heart trembled, and the strength in his hand unconsciously relaxed, and even the blood red in his eyes quietly disappeared.
Letting go of the hand holding her neck, the masked assassin turned around and walked out, Shui Qingqing didn't care about the pain in her throat, chased after her and asked urgently, "Who are you?" If you let me be your pawn, why don't you even tell me who you are? ”
Hearing her ask who she was again, the man's cold eyes flashed coldly, and he turned around and sneered coldly: "Shui Qingqing, you have always been curious about who I am, but you are curious to know the hatred between me and Mei Zijin, am I right?" ”
Shui Qingqing's expression was stunned, he didn't expect his thoughts to escape his eyes at all.
Yes, since she saw him in the Huxin Pavilion that night, Shui Qingqing was curious about who he was? Why do you have the same eyes and a similar body shape and back as Mei Zijin?
And what made her most curious was what kind of deep hatred and hatred such a person similar to Mei Zijin had with him, which wanted him to attack him again and again, and even gave him an insidious and extremely cold poison......
was recognized by him, Shui Qingqing no longer concealed it, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I want to know, what is the reason for the feud between you and Mei Zijin?" In this way, I can know what you want me to do in the future......"
The word 'revenge' made the cold face of the masked assassin under the mask froze, and the pain that had been buried in his heart for many years gushed out, and the scar on his left hand, which had already healed, stabbed again, and the pain spread from the scar on his left hand to his whole body, and even his heart began to drip blood......
"I don't have a name...... No parents...... There are no brothers and relatives...... So, you ask me who I am, and I don't even know ......"
Under the bleak winter moon, the masked assassin was filled with deep sadness and grief, his deep eyes lost the sharpness and coldness of the past, and a slight trillation leaked out of his hard voice, it was like a homeless child, pitiful and helpless, and couldn't help but make Shui Qingqing's heart soften, and he felt a trace of sympathy for this terrible assassin who was still pinching his neck a moment ago and almost took his own life.
She couldn't find her parents and relatives, wandering alone in this vast world, even if she was hurt and hurt, she couldn't find a trace of comfort and warmth......
However, in the next moment, the masked assassin's voice suddenly became cold, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I have no enmity with Mei Zijin, but I have hatred. So I'm not going to let him get better. And you-"
He looked at Shui Qingqing with fixed eyes, and said coldly word by word: "Instead of being curious about who I am and the hatred between me and Mei Zijin, it is better to think about it, who is your child's biological father, who is the man who has a dewy relationship with you in the back wing of the Luoyue Nunnery that night!" ”
The whole body was shocked, Shui Qingqing was instantly hit by the last sentence of the mask assassin, and stayed on the spot with a pale face-
Why did he suddenly mention Yun'er's biological father? Could it be that he, who knew everything, even knew who the man that night was?
The night wind blew down the snow on the treetops in the yard and fell into her neck, and the cold touch made Shui Qingqing, who was stunned, suddenly come back to her senses, only to find that the figure of the masked assassin had long been lost in front of her.
stood in the courtyard for a long time, until her body froze, Shui Qingqing did not go back to the house.
Unexpectedly, she didn't know that Xiaoxi in the room had already woken up at some point, witnessed her secret meeting with the masked assassin, and even heard the friendship between the two......
On the other hand, there is also Mei Zijin, who also can't sleep.
Knowing that Mei Zijin had cleared the poison of cold paralysis on his body, Sanshi was overjoyed, and the big stone in his heart was put down peacefully.
Sanshi thought that Mei Zijin would be equally happy, but when he entered the house with tea, he found Mei Zijin standing alone under the window, his face solemn, and his face was not stretched.
Seeing this, Sanshi couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and was about to ask him what he was worried about, Mei Zijin beckoned him to come over, and after a moment of silence, he said solemnly: "You immediately send someone to the nunnery where I went that day in Ximo, and find the woman that day." ”
Sanshi was startled, looked at Mei Zijin in confusion, and said in surprise: "Why did Master Hou suddenly think of this?" Before...... Didn't the Hou Ye strictly order that no one should mention the events of that day again? ”
A year ago, Mei Zijin encountered an assassination ambush in the Western Desert, and after breaking through, he accidentally broke into the wing room behind a small nunnery, and by mistake, he and Shui Qingqing had a dewy couple for a night......
Of course, he didn't expect in his dreams that the woman that night was Shui Qingqing. Unexpectedly, after that night, she was pregnant with his child, and she went back to the capital to look for relatives with her stomach up, but she didn't want to become Bai Lingwei's pregnant mother by mistake, and their child also returned to Mei Zijin's side by mistake......
The intersection of fates is often unexpected.
Not only Mei Zijin, but Shui Qingqing also couldn't imagine that the man who planted with him that night would be Mei Zijin, the world-famous Marquis of Dingguo......
And their common child, because of the coincidence of fate, returned to his father's side......
For Shui Qingqing, what happened that night was an unspeakable shame. The same is true for Mei Zijin.
Therefore, after that night, he did not look back to find the woman with whom he had a one-night stand, and soon returned to the capital, and ordered Sanshi and others, who knew about the events of that night, not to tell the matter......
Now that a year has passed, Sanshi suddenly heard that Mei Zijin was going to go back to find the woman that night, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Looking at the doubts in Sanshi's expression, Mei Zijin said in a deep voice: "You also know that it was 'Sheng Yu' who solved the poison of cold paralysis for me. And this poison comes from the ...... of the Western Desert."
"I pressed her for a long time today, but she refused to tell me who she was. So, I had to look it up myself. ”
Mei Zijin, who was cautious, always felt that Shui Qingqing was related to the woman in the wing room of the nunnery that night, so like Mama Jin, she decided to send someone back to the West Desert to investigate.
Sanshi understood the meaning of his words, and his expression became more and more shocked.
"Ye is actually suspicious...... Suspicion that Miss Table was that night...... Was that the woman in the wing room of the nunnery that night? This...... It's incredible! ”
Mei Zijin also felt that her idea was too ridiculous, just because the two of them had the same mint fragrance, and she would solve the cold and paralyzing poison from the Western Desert, it was too far-fetched to suspect that she was the same person as the woman that night.
However, Mei Zijin inexplicably felt in her heart that there must be a connection between Shui Qingqing and the woman that night......
"Whether it's the woman who checked that night or the woman who checked her, they were all from the Western Desert. Therefore, you immediately let people go to the Western Desert to investigate carefully. ”
"In addition, send someone to watch the Bai family and Bai Wei Yuan, especially Mama Jin, and be careful of her every move."
Sanshi knew that because Mama Jin almost killed Shui Qingqing last time, his master was afraid that she would make a trick against Tingsheng Yuan again.
Respectfully receiving the order, Sanshi was about to retreat, and Mei Zijin instructed in a deep voice: "Also, the recent actions of the third prince Li You also make people watch carefully, especially the matter of his private contact with her, which must be monitored clearly." ”
Stunned again, although Sanshi was puzzled, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask again, so he hurriedly took the order to retreat.
After Sanshi left, the house returned to calm, and Mei Zijin stood under the window with her hands in her hands, looking at the waning moon in winter with clear eyes, and her heart was cold.
Just now, he asked Sanshi to stare at Li You, not because he was worried about what relationship would happen between him and Shui Qingqing, but with his understanding of the third prince Li You, his deliberate approach to Shui Qingqing was not as simple as outsiders see, intuition, Mei Zijin thought that the third prince Li You accepted Shui Qingqing, and there must be his purpose.
However, what Mei Zijin has always been unable to understand is that Shui Qingqing has no power or power, and there is no powerful force behind her, what does Li You want to do with her?
Suddenly, Mei Zijin suddenly thought of Shui Qingqing's old golden rouge box.
That rouge box is what Li You's mother, Queen Chen, sent out twenty years ago.
Could it be that Li You deliberately approached her because of the rouge box?
Mei Zijin's brows became tighter and tighter, and many bright lights flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it, as if the truth was right in front of him, but there was still a thick layer of fog, which made him more and more confused......
He thought, all the truth, I'm afraid it has to start with Shui Qingqing's life experience!
In this way, Mei Zijin and Mama Jin of the Yang family sent people to the Western Desert at the same time, and the two teams went to find the mystery of Shui Qingqing's identity at the same time......
