When he heard the word plum blossom said by Haoyue, Xijiangyue's white jade fingertips paused slightly.

Suddenly I thought of the silver-foiled boy who was holding a long sword seven years ago and wanted to take her heart.

The plum blossom mark on the back of his right hand was particularly dazzling on the smooth skin.

So much so that after seven years, she still remembers it vividly.

Xi Jiangyue lightly covered her chest, suppressing the thoughts that were surging in her heart.

She wanted to see the corpses, and the plum blossom that had been imprinted on her tongue.

Whether...... Same as seven years ago.

"Jiang Yue......" Haoyue waved her hand in front of Xi Jiangyue, "What's wrong?" Isn't it scary? ”

"Sister, I just don't understand something." Xi Jiangyue raised her hand to support her forehead, shook her head lightly, and said: "Peeling off the skin may be disgusted with a person's face, hiding the identity of the deceased, or making a human skin mask as rumored on the rivers and lakes; Removing the nails may be a torture used to learn something from the maid's mouth, but putting a short knife in her mouth is obviously more like reminding others of the existence of the plum blossom brand on the girl's tongue, and what does the plum blossom brand mean? ”

When Haoyue heard this, she immediately said: "Before, I also thought it was weird, so I asked the guys in Mingyue Tower, but they didn't know; Later, I heard that seven years ago, a plum blossom demon suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, and the killing method was extremely cruel, according to rumors, anyone who died at the hands of the plum blossom demon would be branded with a plum blossom mark. ”

I don't know if she was nervous or excited, Xi Jiangyue only felt that her heart and veins contracted suddenly, and even the air around her body became a little thinner, and in an instant, she coughed again and again, her face turned red, and she hurriedly took out the Heart Protection Pill from her sleeve.

"Jiang Yue......" Haoyue was full of worry when she saw this, but she acted decisively and steadily, she hurriedly pointed to a maid guarding outside the room and said, "You go to Tingfeng Pavilion and invite Su Gongzi to come over." ”

When Haoyue learned the news of Xi Jiangyue's assassination at noon, she even wanted to come to visit Xifu to join the army; Su Changyan was naturally not at ease because of the day's events, so he insisted on following.

But he didn't want to disturb the other people in the military mansion, and the night was dark and there was a difference between men and women, so he came up with this compromise method - stay outside the Tingfeng Pavilion and wait for Haoyue.

"Which Su Gongzi is the girl talking about?" Youlan was puzzled, there was no son surnamed Su in the house today.

"Su Changyan, who knows how to heal!" Haoyue's voice rose slightly, "Hurry up!" ”

Seeing this, where did Lan dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the outside of the courtyard, before she finished the four words of Haoyue girl in her mouth, the handsome boy with a long body and a shallow expression in front of her was gone.

When Xijiang Yue took the Heart Protection Pill and gradually stopped coughing, he saw Su Changyan in a white robe, with wide sleeves and wind.

"Make trouble, you can take a look for her."

Su Changyan saw that Haoyue was safe and sound, his eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched, and most of the worries in his heart instantly dissipated.

He replied lightly, and sat down with his sleeves brushed.

When Su Changyan wanted to put her fingertips on Xijiangyue's pulse, she pretended to raise her hand to touch her chest to dodge, and then said softly: "It's just an old problem with heartache, I have already taken medicine, and if it doesn't get in the way, I won't bother Su Gongzi." ”

Xi Jiangyue believed in Haoyue, but she didn't believe in Su Changyan, who had killed herself.

Haoyue looked at the two people in front of her, and didn't think about it, but said that Xijiangyue was thin-skinned, so she smiled and said: "I was in a hurry, and my sister was negligent." ”

"Then I'll ask the maid to call the female doctor for you, okay?"

If you invite a female doctor, you will definitely alarm everyone in the house, the second uncle has been sick with his aunt recently, and he can't untie his clothes, at this moment, how can Xi Jiangyue bear to let him work hard.

"Su Gongzi's medical skills have been praised in the imperial capital seven years ago, and he ...... How can the female doctor of Xifu be comparable? In the faint voice, I saw Xi Jiangyue's slender wrist slowly stretched out, and the wide sleeves seemed to carelessly cover a plum blossom that she had just painted on the table, "Then it's bothering Su Gongzi." ”

Regarding Su Changyan, who has a prominent background, Xijiangyue still knows a little about it - as the sister-in-law of Su Yizhi, the general of Ningyuan, Su Changyan did not wander between the battlefield and the court like his father, who was particularly good at calligraphy.

He was always kind and generous, often providing free medical treatment and medicine to the poor people, coupled with his outstanding appearance, he naturally became the first prince in the imperial capital.

Su Changyan's thin fingertips rested on Xi Jiangyue's slender wrist, and a little surprise flashed between his light eyebrows.

Xi Jiangyue's face was slightly flushed because of the cough just now, but the slender fingertips under the sleeves were white from the exertion.

Su Changyan looked at the girl who was pretending to be calm in front of her, and said for a long time: "Miss Xi's body is fine, she just needs to recuperate, Su can prescribe some medicine for you." ”

When Haoyue heard this, her face finally eased slightly, "Jiang Yue, you were fine before, how could you suddenly feel a pain in your heart?" ”

"Maybe the night breeze blew into the room." Xijiangyue was afraid that Haoyue would be worried and told a second lie for a while, and before Haoyue could ask again, she said again: "Sister, I don't know something." ”

"What?"

"I just heard my sister say that the corpses of those who left home were all skinned, and only a short knife was held in the mouth, and plum blossoms were branded on the tongue."

"These tactics are cruel, but they are not fatal." Xi Jiangyue's voice was soft, and she asked the biggest doubt in her heart, "What is the real cause of death of these people?" ”

Haoyue was also very curious when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at Su Changyan, "The real cause of death?" If Xi Jiangyue didn't mention it, she really didn't pay attention to it.

Su Changyan seemed to be contemplating with his eyebrows lowered.

"Does Master Su know where the plum blossom demon came from?" When he spoke again, Xijiang Yueqing's cold eyes fell on Su Changyan's face.

"Seven years ago, when there were similar cases, the servants did not find the fatal wounds on the corpse, so it was said that the evil spirit possessed on the plum blossom was the doing, and I was curious to check it out, and found that it was more like poisoning!"

Poisoning?

"What kind of poison is it?" Haoyue and Xijiangyue spoke in unison.

"It hasn't been found out yet." Su Changyan shook his head.

Haoyue was shocked, there were still things in this world that he didn't know!

As if he suddenly remembered something, Su Changyan said again: "I remember that there are still some health pills on the carriage, I will go and get them back now and send them to Miss Yuxi." ”

Haoyue hurriedly stopped, "It's better for me to go, in case Jiang Yue's heart hurts again, you can take care of it in time if you are a doctor." "She's here, so she can only be in a hurry.

Su Ri even walked Haoyue for fear that she would break Su Changyan, but at this time it was rare to nod and let go.

When Haoyue was far away, Su Changyan looked at the girl in front of him, his expression was light and light, and then he got straight to the point: "Miss Xi followed the crane immortal to Wuling Mountain seven years ago, and the plum blossom demon disappeared from then on; Recently, Miss Xi Fang returned to the imperial capital, and the plum blossom demon also appeared again......"

Su Changyan looked at Xi Jiangyue with light eyebrows, although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning was clear, and he couldn't be clearer.

"For some reason, Su Gongzi seems to be quite prejudiced against Jiang Yue." Xi Jiangyue smiled lightly, without any anger on her face, "However, thank you to Master Su." ”
