Chapter 4: Pretending to be Chu Yi

Zhong Li had already fled with Nangong Yan in the evening.

She was a good person to the end, booked a room in the inn, and then threw Nangong Yan on the bed, this guy was grinned when she was fallen, but she was not angry, but looked at her with great interest and asked, "Girl, what is your name." ”

Zhong Liwan crossed his hands and looked at him condescendingly and said: "It is a bad fate between the two of us, goodbye to the rivers and lakes, no, never again, so don't ask my sister's name again, my sister is just a legend."

Nangong Yan looked at her funny, "Don't tell my brother sister, my brother is older than you." And if you don't tell me your name, I'll call you a sound girl, anyway, you're not the lord of the evil sound! ”

Zhong Liwan did whatever he wanted, took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it at Nangong Yan.

"What is this?"

Nangong Yan lifted the cap of the bottle, and a wisp of medicinal fragrance emanated. Is it for healing?

But before Zhong Liwan could explain, he poured out the pill and ate it.

He was born in a family that eats people and does not spit out bones, if he doesn't even have the heart to defend against people, he doesn't know how many meters tall the grave grass is. But for this girl who just saved him, he really trusts her, even if she wants him to die, he will not complain, after all, if he is caught in Xuantian Palace, it is estimated that he will be crippled if he is not dead.

Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, as if he had re-acquainted Nangong Yan. I didn't expect this kid to trust her so much, and he didn't vain her hard work to save him.

"What a healing elixir!" Nangong Li covered his heart, feeling the stuffiness in his chest dissipate.

Zhong Liwan looked at him a lot more pleasing to the eye, and explained: "If you are poisoned, you don't know it, if you are an hour late, I will save you in vain." ”

"Poisoned?"

"You accidentally ate Qixing grass before, and after eating it, you will have chest tightness and shortness of breath, your limbs will gradually stiffen, and finally you will die suddenly due to difficulty breathing."

I see, Nangong Yan patted his chest and broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he met this girl, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died. However, then he was unconscious, and he hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Since you already knew, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

The corners of Zhong Liwan's lips outlined a very shallow smile, and then said proudly: "It's already for you, how can you be at my mercy in Chunfeng Tower?"

“……”

Nangong Yan thought of the stiffness just now, unable to move, and finally had to be a very girly woman to scream, it turned out that this girl was indirectly promoted!

This is simply his black history.

Just when he wanted to cry without tears, a slender and white jade hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, Nangong Yan raised his head and raised his eyebrows, what do you mean?

His big hand was about to put it on hers, but she slapped it off first.

"I just saved you, bring you something valuable."

"Uh-" Nangong Yan looked Zhong Liwan up and down, with a lewd smile on his face, "The little girl wants to say that the token of love is early, come, this is for you." ”

After speaking, he threw a jade pendant to her.

I saw that this jade pendant was purple all over, with exquisite workmanship, and a glowing light on the surface, which seemed to be worth a lot of money. However, as soon as she heard that the signboard with a love token was thrown to her, Zhong Liwan's face turned dark and he wanted to throw it away.

Nangong Yan immediately stopped, "Don't don't, this treasure is priceless, you can keep it." In the future, if you encounter difficulties, take this jade pendant to any Nancheng antique shop in Shikoku and show this token, and you can ask my people for help. ”

It's a good thing, this kid is not small!

Zhong Liwan raised his eyebrows, and after putting his things away, he walked to the door without looking back, "You can rest in the inn, this girl will go first." ”

"Hey, where am I looking for you?" Nangong Yan shouted from behind, but did not get a response.

A smile appeared on his handsome face, recalling the scene of his acquaintance with the girl just now, and suddenly he felt that it was worth being injured once. He believed that even if he couldn't find the girl, with the jade pendant in her hand, there would always be a time when she would ask him for help.

It's night.

Zhong Liwan and Wuxian successfully avoided the soldiers and secret guards of the General's Mansion, and after a while, they stood on the roof of Chu Yi's house, she lifted a piece of rubble, looked into the room through the gap, and saw that Chu was still sitting in front of the dresser with a phoenix crown and drawing her eyebrows over and over again, and there was a woman standing behind her, wearing a good brocade dress and satin, this woman was gently arranging Chu Ying's hair bun at the moment.

"Mother, do you think I'm so beautiful?" Chu still raised his head and looked back at the woman behind him, her eyes were full of spring breeze, she was about to marry King Qi, who was the coldest and most handsome man in the world, and she had fallen in love with him since she saw him at the palace dinner when she was ten years old.

Chen Yulian laughed in a low voice: "Of course, my daughter is the first beauty in our Dongqi Kingdom." ”

Chu still listened to her words and smiled shyly, but there was complacency in his eyebrows.

"Tsk, it's indeed a beauty." Zhong Liwan sighed in a low voice on the roof, carefully appreciating Chu Yi's appearance, it was indeed pleasing to the eye, his facial features were exquisite, and he looked lovely with red makeup.

Wu Wu glanced up at her, and a smile appeared on Bingshan's face. In his opinion, the women in this world are not as good as her smile.

"Mother, that little slut has been holding this title for so many years, if she hadn't died, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had such a chance. Speaking of which, I have to thank her! Chu still raised his head suddenly, and a trace of yin poison flashed in his eyes.

The corners of Chen Yulian's mouth fell, and she pretended to be displeased: "What do you mention her, don't be unlucky." ”

Chu still smiled and said continuously: "Yes, yes, I won't mention it again in the future." ”

She said again: "Mother, don't worry, when I become Princess Qi, I will definitely find a way to make you a lady." ”

The two women in the room whispered softly, unaware that an important secret had been revealed in their words.

Zhong Liwan narrowed her eyes, she seemed to have heard some terrible secret.

Why does this Chu still say that others hold the title of Princess Qi? And this Chen Yulian, who seems to be the concubine of the young general, but Chu still calls her mother affectionately?

Before she came, she read some information about the General's Mansion, and sixteen years ago, the Major General and his wife suddenly disappeared, leaving only Chu Yi, who had just been born. The old general sent someone to find his beloved son and daughter-in-law for two years without news, and he became ill and finally became seriously ill, so he moved to the back mountain of the general's mansion to recuperate.

The emperor remembered that he had been defending the country for many years in the general's palace and was loyal, and the old general had lost his beloved son in old age, so he gave the old general the title of general who protected the country. Although this title is in name only, it can protect the general's mansion. Since the old general left his hands on family affairs, the concubine Chen Yulian began to take charge of the family.

This Chen Yulian's attitude towards her daughter-in-law is even closer than her own daughter, don't they all say that it is difficult to be a stepmother, not to mention this kind of mother-daughter relationship in a deep boudoir house? Zhong Liwan touched his chin, it seems that this general's mansion is not simple.

Then the woman went out of the room, and Chu still took off her makeup and extinguished the candle. Zhong Liwan and Wu Xian glanced at each other, and the cat was about to go down.

But they saw that a person suddenly got into the dark room, and through the faint moonlight cast through the window, they could see that figure approaching Chu still step by step.

Zhong Liwan frowned, what does this person want to do?

But it was too dark down there for her to see the man's movements clearly, and she couldn't rush down at this time, as any disturbance would affect her plans if there was a fight.

The people in the room walked lightly to the bed, Chu was still not asleep at this time, she opened her eyes in a daze and saw a person standing at the head of the bed, who was about to scream, but was knocked unconscious by a knife from him.

The masked man stuffed a pill into her mouth, and after waiting for another half a moment, Tan Chu still snorted and saw that she was completely out of breath, so he left with confidence.

After the people left, Zhong Liwan and Wuxian jumped down and walked in front of Chu Yi to investigate.

He's dead!

She lit the lamp, and then looked at Chu Ying's death, and immediately knew what that pill was - Guixi Pill, which was taken orally and melted in the mouth, and died of heart paralysis in less than half an hour. This pill is not poison, and even an autopsy will not detect it.

In this way, even if the General's Mansion is unable to convince Chu of the cause of death, and cannot find evidence of who did it, she will only be dealt with as if she was too excited and died suddenly.

Who the hell is going to kill her?

Zhong Liwan dragged his chin and thought,

There are only two possibilities for the murderer, one is that someone is jealous that Chu is still married to King Qi, so he sends someone to assassinate him, and the other is that King Qi himself does not want to marry. Zhong Liwan hooked his lips and smiled, no matter which one it is, this King Qi has to marry if he doesn't marry.

She sat at the table and tinkered for half an hour, making a human skin mask for Chu Yi. Wuxian looked at Zhong Liwan with some concern, if King Qi sent someone to kill Chu Yi, then marrying into King Qi's mansion tomorrow will definitely arouse suspicion.

However, no matter how he disagrees, he will unconditionally agree to Xiaowan's request. Wu Wu kicked the corpse on the ground and asked, "What to do?" ”

Zhong Liwan walked up to Chu Yi and took out the corpse powder from his pocket, but he thought it was inappropriate to think about it, so he put the bottle away again. Although the corpse powder is effective in treating the corpse quickly, it has a flaw, this powder is extremely corrosive, and the corpse will turn into a puddle of black water, even if the ground is washed away, it will still leave traces.

What's more, if there is no injustice or hatred, leaving a whole corpse for Miss Chu is considered compensation for her.

She looked at Wu Wu and said embarrassedly: "It's better to trouble Wu Wu to carry the body to the outskirts of the city for burial!" ”

"Okay, I got it. Tomorrow you are careful. Wuxian rubbed her head, smiled back at her, and then walked away with a cold face, pursed his lips and carried Chu Yi's corpse.

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhong Liwan got up, several maids walked in from outside the room and began to dress her. Chen Yulian walked into the room and kept smiling, looking at "Chu Yi" dressed up. After a while, the makeup was finally finished, and the delicate little face of "Chu Yi" still had the same makeup, but the difference was that there was a hint of cunning under the eyes.

"Daughter, after marrying with your appearance, you will definitely be able to get the favor of King Qi, you have to blow the wind on the pillow, don't forget what you promised your mother." Chen Yulian took the hand of "Chu Yi", patted it gently, and continued: "I was pressed by that slut back then, and I have always been unjustifiable in this mansion, even if I am in charge of the general's mansion, those subordinates behind my back are not laughing at me for being a concubine, and my mother will rely on you for the rest of her life." ”

"Don't worry, mother." She nodded, learning Chu Yan's voice and said, the corners of her mouth under the red hijab hooked a sarcastic arc.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the door, "Chu Yi" was sent to a sedan chair on the way to King Qi's mansion.

At this time, King Qi's mansion is here. Mo Jinye sat in the study, his fingers tapping on the table, not knowing what he was thinking. There was a man kneeling in front of him, his head bowed nervously, and a lot of sweat was running down his head.

There was silence for a while, and a low, magnetic voice sounded: "Last night, you were sure you really killed." ”

Wei Yan finally heard his master's words and breathed a sigh of relief, "Master, I'm sure I personally fed that woman the Guixi Pill last night, and I probed the breath and died."

"Then who is going to marry in today?" Mo Jinye continued to ask.

"This ......"

"Alright, go get the thirty boards." He waved his hand and motioned for Shen Mu to go down.

"Yes."

Mo Jinye knew that Wei Yan was a calm person, he had always been cautious in his work, and he rarely missed. So the woman who is going to marry into King Qi's mansion this time must be pretending.

Wei Yan walked to the door and suddenly remembered that the fake woman was going to marry into the palace, and hurriedly said to King Qi: "Master, do you want to send someone on the road-"

"No, you don't."
