Chapter 146: A Nightmare of Cutting Skin
Shen Yinqiu planned to let Wan Yanyan carry a distance down, but it was much more comfortable to be carried on his back than to walk by himself, he yawned, his eyelids were heavy, and he woke up again in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
She was ajolted from her sleep by the loud sound of an iron basin falling to the ground, and slowly came back to her senses as she watched the bed tent she had become accustomed to.
When she sat up wrapped in the quilt, Qianyun had already come in from outside the door quickly, and she was very annoyed when she saw her: "Master, have you been woken up?" It's all to blame for our poor hands and feet, and we fell off the basin that didn't hold the water steadily. ”
Shen Yinqiu looked at her for a while before sorting out the thoughts in her mind, she was carried on her back by Wan Qiyan, and then she may have fallen asleep without a good breath, this will fill the house with candlelight, and she can't tell how long it has been.
Qianyun knew that her master had just woken up and was more confused, so she let her watch and waited for her.
Sure enough, after putting on his clothes and going to the ground, Shen Yinqiu replied: "I didn't wake up, I was scared to wake up." ”
Qianyun: "......"
"The prince carried me back?" Shen Yinqiu walked around the table.
Qianyun nodded violently, "Well, the prince said that the master is tired and tired of playing outside, so let the slave take good care of it." ”
"Don't make a move like this next time." Shen Yinqiu felt upset when he thought of that kind of clanging sound, and Qianyun agreed to it: "When you go back, the slave and maid will teach the maids below well and learn to stabilize the key points." ”
Shen Yinqiu walked around the table three or four times, Qianyun's eyes were dizzy, and she turned around to go around the treasure shelf, which was full of porcelain, and she didn't have any research on these, so it didn't prevent her from watching.
"Where is the son now?"
Qianyun thought for a while before saying, "Master, after the prince sent you back, he went to the study of the West Pavilion. Finally, he asked, "Master, are you hungry?" The kitchen is ready to eat, and if you're hungry, you can serve it right away. ”
"Not hungry." Shen Yinqiu was irritable when he left, and walked to the painting screen to stand still, "What time is it?" How long have I been back? ”
"Master, it's the middle of the day, and you've only slept for less than half an hour when you come back." Qianyun said.
Hearing this, Shen Yinqiu snorted and walked straight towards the door, but when she saw the water stains at the door, she remembered the lake on Fenghua Road, and then thought of the corpse, Shen Yinqiu's whole person froze, she raised her sleeve and sniffed, as if she could still smell a corpse smell, and suddenly she didn't want to bear it.
She turned to look at Qianyun and said with a serious face: "I want to bathe." ”
Qianyun just wanted to persuade the cold and the ground was freezing, and bathing in the middle of the night was sick to her body, and when she was seen by her determined eyes, she compromised in a second.
"The master will wait for a while, and the slave will let the little maid go and boil the water first."
Shen Yinqiu pondered and asked in a low voice, "I seem to have heard last time that there is a hot spring pool in this mansion?" ”
"Master, it's not a hot spring pool, it's a bath, there is a ......," Qianyun looked left and right and estimated, "That bath can probably soak thirty or forty people." ”
Shen Yinqiu thought about it, and it wasn't particularly spacious, "Do you want to carry water yourself and put it in?" ”
"It seems like that, so few people use that bath in the winter." Qianyun knew what she wanted to do by looking at her master's expression, and tried her best to dispel her thoughts. Soaking in that bath so late, with the body and bones of her master, she will definitely be infected with the wind and cold, okay!
Shen Yinqiu snorted, "Then move here and bathe in the room, save them from tossing." ”
Naturally, they meant such a small servant, Qianyun answered, and recruited two maids to come in to accompany her master, and went down to work by herself.
Shen Yinqiu sat back on the chair, and the two maids were also clever, so they immediately served tea. With a smile on his face, he was inexplicably a little courteous.
Shen Yinqiu didn't drink the tea, looking at the two maids, who were beautiful and exquisite, she naturally looked at them twice, and when she saw the two maids, she lowered her head shyly.
She: "......"
Is the beauty in the wrong place? This kind of expression should be better for the prince to bloom. But on second thought, it was useless for them to smile at Shizi. Seeing that their faces were flushed without blushing.
Shen Yinqiu spoke, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Princess, you are so beautiful!"
"Mmmm, it's beautiful from afar, it's even more beautiful up close, thank you Sister Qianyun for giving the slave and maid a chance to get close to the princess."
Shen Yinqiu almost spilled the tea, looking at the heat in their eyes, she was a little speechless, what did she do? Under this fanatical gaze, Shen Yinqiu decided to pretend not to see it, who knows what conspiracy they have. Putting down the teacup, she walked straight to the concubine's floor, half-lay down, picked up the notebook neatly placed on the chair, and slowly flipped through it by the light of the candlestick next to her.
Or the book "Who's Behind You" has a lot of mysteries, Shen Yinqiu picked it up and immersed herself in it, if the surroundings are too quiet, she will still be a little uncomfortable, I wish someone was around to talk about something and create some popularity.
These two maids are too weird today, always staring at her with eyes that secretly make people's backs hairy, every time she sees the script, the sound of ticking water, who is looking at you behind it.
She would look up at the two maids who were five or six steps away from her, her eyebrows twitched twice unconsciously, and Shen Yinqiu took a deep breath and said, "You are not allowed to look at me, turn your back." ”
“…… Yes, princess. You don't have to look at the expressions on their faces, you can already hear the grievances in their tones just by their voices.
Shen Yinqiu sighed, only thinking that these two maids were probably lowered by someone. Without being stared at, she picked up the notebook again and continued to read, and it didn't take a few breaths to hear it......
"The princess looks so elegant when she reads, her eyelashes are so long when she lowers her eyes, and she brushes a shadow." A servant girl whispered.
Shen Yinqiu endured, didn't look at it was night, could there be no shadow when the candlestick was lit?
Another maidservant chimed in: "The eyes she saw just now were so cute, and sure enough, it was the same as what Sister Qingyan said, she was a very gentle master!" Don't scold us! ”
You want to find a scolding ah find her head shen yinqiu looked like he was looking at the script again, but he was actually listening to them and then felt that the sky was thundering.
She closed the notebook, Qingyan? According to the Qingzi generation, Qingye Qingzhu Qingyan should also be the person next to Wan Qiyan, very good, Shen Yinqiu asked in a soft voice: "Who are you talking about Qingyan?" ”
As soon as the two maidservants heard Shen Yinqiu speak, they turned around, and their eyes sparkled and said, "Concubine Huishi, Qingyan is the steward who is responsible for buying your usual things for you." ”
Shen Yinqiu thought that her things weren't all purchased by Qianguang? Do you have to go through the layer of green smoke? She glanced at the two maidservants standing straight. "What did she say?"
"Sister Qingyan said that the gentleness and elegance of the princess are as beautiful as a fairy, and the bodhisattva is good at helping others."
Shen Yinqiu: "...... I thank you" It seems that giving charcoal to those little guys can still gain such a false reputation......
The two maidservants seemed to want to say something, when the door opened, and Qianyun came in from outside with a group of slaves and set them up behind the screen.
Shen Yinqiu waved her hand to let the two very enthusiastic maids go down, her mind was not on this now, she withdrew from the others, leaving the familiar Qianyun waiting by her side, and after a quarter of an hour of bathing, Shen Yinqiu's heart was comfortable, and she was wrapped in a quilt on the bed, and she wanted to go out to find Wan Qiyan before, but she was also pushed to the back.
Qianyun embroidered female red on the side, paying attention to her master from time to time, and suddenly remembered that every time the master went out, he would tell her about what happened outside, today is the Thousand Lantern Festival, so lively but didn't say anything? But when she thought about it, the masters were all carried back by the prince, so it can be seen that she is tired and panicked.
Shen Yinqiu closed his eyes and recalled what happened out of the mansion tonight in order one by one, focusing on the young man who sold lanterns, his inconspicuous appearance, but since she appeared, he looked at her for a while, and felt as if he knew her? But how can you recognize it? She's wearing a mask.
Because she slept for a while before, even if it was Hai Shi now, she was not sleepy at all, and if she thought about it carefully, why was she only picking up the front and the back more complete? If it's for the sake of making lanterns, the human skin on the front has no advantage at all.
Could the female corpse in the lake be Lian Xinyi? Because the contact was not deep, Shen Yinqiu really couldn't recognize it.
The most important thing is that she doesn't even know what the murderer's motive is.
The night became deeper and quieter, Shen Yinqiu's head was about to explode, and when she opened her eyes again in a daze, she found that she had returned to the Zhuangzi in the countryside, the same dark night, the same sword light and sword shadow, but there was no Liu Da and them around again, she wanted to run but couldn't move, she watched those black-clothed people walking towards her with blades, anyway, the dagger of silver light made a long mark under her eyes, and then down her face.
The stinging pain swept in, blood flowed down her face, and she saw her miserable condition in the pupils of the masked man in black, and the pain spread from her face like a snake and ant bite. Then she watched her face slowly fall off, and she became a bloody person completely.
"Don't, don't, don't!" Shen Yinqiu opened his eyes suddenly.
Before she could open her eyes, she was hugged by a slightly cool embrace, Shen Yinqiu smelled the unique smell of his body, and her rapid heartbeat began to calm down.
"What? Having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid A slightly hoarse voice came from above his head, Shen Yinqiu violently pushed away the person in front of him, and when he looked up, it was indeed Wan Qiyan.
Wan Qiyan didn't have any anger when he was pushed away, and looked at her with a pair of deep eyes, "It's okay?" ”
Shen Yinqiu hummed sullenly, "It's okay, it's just a dream!" ”
"Dreaming of last night's corpse?" Wan Qiyan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Hmph, no, I dreamed of being chased and killed by a man in black, and it really hurt to slash that knife on my body!" Shen Yinqiu saw the ridicule in his eyes, and tried to separate the dream matter from the peeling case.
Sure enough, he hugged himself just now to take advantage! Not really worried about her at all! Even if it doesn't work below, men can take advantage of it! She decided to keep her distance from him from today!
