Chapter 42: Assassination

Ruyi was assassinated, Linghu Yuan was not at ease and Ruyi returned to the post house, insisted on staying in the general's mansion, Ruyi couldn't help it, Xia He went back to the post house to pack his things, and told Sun Bin by the way.

"I'm really causing you trouble today." Ruyi looked at Ling Huyuan, who had just returned from sending the doctor, and said.

"Do you still need these politeness between you and me?" Ling Huyuan sat on the edge of the couch and looked at Ruyi's legs with some distress.

"The doctor said that if it's not that serious, it won't leave you with a disability." Ruyi didn't want to worry Hu Yuan, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, even if you are disabled, I will support you." Ling Huyuan said solemnly unusually.

Ruyi didn't know what to say, so he had to look left and right and say to him, "Why hasn't Xia He come back after going for so long?" ”

"Do you want to drink water? I'll pour it for you. ”

"I actually wanted to go out and get some air."

Ling Huyuan didn't say a word when he heard it, picked up Ruyi and walked outside the house.

"Hey, hey, wait, what are you doing, there are a lot of people out there."

Seeing this, the maids all snickered and automatically avoided it.

The night is as heavy as ink, and the moon is hidden and the stars are scarce.

In the study room of the side hall of the Qingyang Hall of the Wei Palace, the candlelight was still bright, a gust of wind blew, and the candlelight in front of the window shook a few times, and even the figure shining on the wall shook a few times.

Wei Poppy rubbed his eyebrows with his left hand, and still held a pen in his right hand to review the chapter. After writing a few strokes, I put the pen on the pen holder in annoyance. During the day, Kang Ming came to report: Ruyi lived in the post house and did not want to enter the palace. Is it that you haven't forgiven yourself yet, or are you ......

Before he could finish thinking about it, Kang Ming hurriedly walked in and reported, "Your Highness, Miss Ruyi has been assassinated." ”

"What?" Wei Poppy stood up suddenly, took the pen and ink on the table, and there was a piece of ink printed on the chapter, Wei Pop didn't care about this, walked a few steps towards Kang Ming, and then asked, "Is there anything wrong with Ruyi?" What's going on? ”

"Miss Ruyi is fine, but she was injured by an arrow in her calf, and she is currently recuperating in the General's Mansion. The Assassins have not yet been caught. ”

In the General's Palace? Wei Poppy didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't want to enter the palace, but went to the general's mansion.

Wei Poppy returned to the side of the case, spread out a new piece of silk paper, picked up a pen and wrote a new content: Edict, my sister Ruyi entered the palace to recuperate from her injuries, and there should be no delay. Then it was stamped and taken to Kangming.

"Tomorrow, you go to pick up Ruyi into the palace, if she doesn't want to, you can say that I said it, what's the matter with living in someone else's house for no reason." Wei Poppy said in a deep voice, his beautiful eyes flashing fiercely, "Go investigate who the assassin is, and be sure to catch it." ”

"Well, I understand." Kang Ming turned and walked out of the side hall.

Wei Poppy walked out of the study and into another room next door. However, there was nothing else in the room except the bookshelves, Wei Poppy walked directly to the bookshelf and changed the positions of the second and third rows of books respectively, and the bookshelves parted to both sides, revealing a black downward staircase, and Wei Poppy walked down the stairs.

Below was a closed stone room, with a table and a chair, a ball of straw in the corner, and a trembling unkempt woman shrunk in the grass.

When the woman saw someone coming in, she cried out desperately, "Why didn't you kill me yet?" Between the eyebrows and eyes, you can still vaguely see the beauty of the peach cheeks and green eyebrows, but the delicate temperament no longer exists and becomes hysterical. This woman is none other than the previous Mrs. Lin.

The man smiled evilly, "Don't worry, it's not time yet, Ruyi must want to ask you in person." ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll give you out? In fact, you already know my plan, you just plan it, and you want to use this to keep the Ruyi girl by your side, my drunken dream fragrance with wine, no matter how strong your internal strength is, it is impossible not to be emotional, but you can hold yourself, it can only mean that you take the antidote in advance. ”

"Haha, you understand, but you are an outcast now, your master Gongsun Xin has long disappeared, if you don't do what I say, it can only be a dead end, it's not a pity for you to die, pity your lovely brother."

"You, what did you do to my brother?"

"Not really, he's fine now, but whether it's good or not in the future depends on whether you cooperate or not."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, you let my brother go."

"Okay, that's a deal."

"But I don't understand why you're doing this, I'm afraid I won't get her heart when I plan to get her."

"You don't understand, she's not an ordinary woman, and I don't want to treat her the way I treat ordinary women." Wei Poppy instantly turned around with a cold face and walked out of the secret room.

The next morning, as soon as Ruyi got up, an edict came from the palace, summoning Ruyi into the palace, and also asked Kang Ming to bring a message, Ruyi was unwilling, and had to pack up his things again to prepare to enter the palace.

"Miss, His Royal Highness summoned you to the palace this time, and he seems to be very angry." Xia He said worriedly.

"He is now the king of a country, and he is no longer His Highness." Ruyi said it to Xia He, and also said it to herself.

Ling Huyuan listened to Ruyi's words and had to reconsider what to do next? Ruyi hasn't nodded yet, and there are people behind him, and I'm afraid it's not easy to chase his wife slowly.

entered the palace and lived in the Shaohua Palace, but Ruyi did not see Wei Poppy. Wei Poppy didn't come to see Ruyi for a few days. Ruyi thought that Wei Poppy was still angry, and he didn't want to bow his head first, so he didn't go to Wei Poppy.

On this day, the sun is just right, and Ruyi prunes a large leaf in the yard*. Ruyi wears a blue embroidered plum blossom dark pattern collar curly coat, combing a hanging cloud bun, in the sunlight and flowers against the background of the more fresh and elegant, but also feminine.

Wei Poppy stood at the gate of the courtyard and was stunned for a while. This is the person he has been thinking about for a long time, and it is also the person who wants to take care of him for the rest of his life. Although it is close at hand, it feels far away.

As soon as Ruyi looked up, he found Wei Poppy standing under the corridor, "Cousin, why are you standing there and not saying a word?" ”

"Look you're busy, it's hard to disturb. It's okay, just in the sun. A warm smile appeared on Wei Poppy's handsome face.

Maybe the sun is too intoxicating, or maybe the person in front of him is too beautiful, Wei Poppy somehow asked, "Ruyi, are you really unwilling to marry me?" ”

"You're my cousin, we're related by blood."

"What's so bad about kissing and kissing? You don't care even if the news of that night has spread? Don't you want to marry me either? Wei Poppy frowned and said puzzledly.

Ruyi didn't know how to explain to him that close relatives couldn't get married. I had to say, "I have someone I like." Those who are clear are self-purifying, and cousins don't have to worry too much. ”

"Is it Ling Huyuan?" A spark ignited in Wei Pop's eyes, and then it went out again.

Ruyi didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it, he just said: "We will always be the closest people." ”

Wei Poppy paused with a grim expression and did not respond to Ruyi's words. Say in your heart that we will also be the closest people. Then he said again, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone, you must want to interrogate you personally." I really don't know what happened that night. ”

"Cousin, I know, that incident has nothing to do with you. But I do want to meet that Mrs. Lin, I have tested all the food for no poison, how did she take the medicine? ”

"Let's go, then." Wei Poppy smiled faintly.

When he came out of the secret room, Ruyi said to himself as he walked: "It turned out that there was a problem with the incense, and I said how the aroma smelled exceptionally good that day." ”

"yes, I didn't expect the combination of incense and wine to have that effect." Wei Poppy said a little perfunctorily, as if he was waiting for some news.

At this time, a small attendant hurriedly ran over and reported: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lin hanged herself. ”

Wei Pop nodded, feeling a little relieved.

After the little attendant left, Ruyi looked into the distance with a long look in his eyes and said softly: "Thank you, cousin, for your gentlemanly gift that night." ”

Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi in astonishment.
