Noya nodded firmly: "I remember, when Qin was in the first seven years, An Ruoxi was frightened, and then she was safe and sound." Until the pavilion master entered Beijing from Handan City not long ago, she seemed to have gone out with Mrs. Liu once, and when she came back, her illness suddenly worsened, and she sang a double reed play with Mrs. An Shilang, pretending to be a ghost, and trying her best to move into Yinian Hall.

Yuanbao misunderstood that the pavilion master's pretended official Luo was interesting to Dusi, so he usually paid great attention to his words and deeds. He once told me that the impostor Luo often flirted with An Ruoxi, but I didn't think about it at the time. Now that I think about it, you say, is there such a possibility, that An Ruoxi knew the pavilion master, and the pavilion master was afraid that An Ruoxi would reveal his identity, so he moved to kill?

An Ruoxi knew the pavilion master's ability, and the Shilang Mansion was helpless in this matter. In the end, in order to protect himself, he had to think of taking refuge in my Yinian Hall. Because she knows that the impostor Luo Ke is free to enter and leave my general's mansion, but he will not dare to kill people under our noses, and he will be afraid. Later, Guan Luo went to Handan City with us, and the danger was lifted, and she unloaded her heart disease, and she was naturally fine. ”

Baili Jiuji listened carefully to Nuoya's analysis, frowned and said: "No matter how powerful An Ruoxi is, she is just a young lady who does not leave the boudoir, how can she know the pavilion master whose identity is extremely mysterious?" Even if he knew it, the pavilion master was wearing a human skin mask at that time, and he was disguised as an official Luo, which was seamless, and An Ruoxi shouldn't have recognized it. Unless, there is a situation. ”

"What's the situation?"

"The identity of the pavilion master is confidential, and there should be no more than two or three people in the entire capital who know about it, one is the third prince, and the other is the Elder Yu we have been looking for."

"Elder Yu has already had dealings with the Shilang Mansion, and it is reasonable for An Ruoxi to know him. What do you mean, it is possible that An Ruoxi learned some secret of the Pavilion Master through Elder Yu or the Third Prince, which caused the Pavilion Master's murder? ”

Bailijiu nodded "um" and agreed: "Can you inquire, where did An Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu go out that day?" ”

Noah shook her head: "I just vaguely remember whether An Ruoxi went out of the house the day before she became ill, or I heard you talk about it, and I don't know where she went." ”

"When you say that, I really want to lock her up and torture her, and interrogate her." Baili Jiu rubbed his hands and said.

Noya pursed her lips and smiled, adding oil and vinegar: "You go, I support you, there should be a few small leather whips in the Jinnian Pavilion, I believe you must be handy." ”

"You're laughing at me again?" Baili Jiu made a gesture to clean her up.

"Just casually, man with a small belly." Noah smiled and dodged, not forgetting to fight back casually.

Baili Jiu smiled sinisterly: "In my opinion, the small belly and the chicken chief are the two advantages of being a man, so I will think that you are complimenting the ninth master." ”

was playing shameless again, Nuoya begged for mercy: "Ahem, it's me who is too talkative, dealing with women, Ninth Master, you are better than me." ”

"Why can't you be the only one? I have a headache every day. ”

"The Ninth Master said that Noya is just a pure man!"

"I don't believe it, let's verify it!"

"You dare! The girls are here! ”

The courtyard door opened, Yuan Bao stepped in, and happened to see two people flirting and scolding in the middle of the courtyard, so he covered his face in a panic and ran: "How can you be like this, in broad daylight, teach us children badly, and abuse my lonely and wounded heart." ”

Nuoya pushed Baili Jiuyi away, and his strength was quite strong: "Baili Jiu, you give me back my innocent reputation!" ”

Baili Jiu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he coughed lightly, and said resentfully: "Madam, don't always treat me as a traitor and husband, I am the husband you are marrying." ”

......

The Jinnian Pavilion in the mansion has been idle, because An Ruoxi pretended to be a ghost a few days ago, which made the people in the mansion also afraid of it, and even to clean up, they had to go in groups at noon.

After all, An Ruoxi was afraid of Qin's death, so she rested very early at night, had dinner early before it was dark, closed the door of the courtyard, and didn't dare to go out. At night, Mrs. Liu usually has to be on duty at night and sleep in the room next to her to feel at ease.

When Bailijiu came, it was already dark and the courtyard gate was closed. Curled her fingers and knocked on the door, and a girl inside asked suspiciously, "Who?" ”

Since Noah has become beautiful in the mansion, the ukiyo-e pavilion has been crowded, and very few people have come to the door to talk to him. Especially at this time, everyone is afraid of this place, and they have to hide far away when passing by, lest they provoke filth.

"It's me." Baili Jiu said impatiently.

The little girl became excited instantly, as if she had seen the dawn of dawn: "It's the ninth master!" ”

An Ruoxi in the room had already listened to the movement outside with her ears shut, and her hand that was combing her long hair was stiff. Standing up, he hurriedly turned around, went to the suitcase to rummage for clothes, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, ran back to the mirror, straightened his hair, and was so flustered that he was completely distracted.

"Where's your wife?"

The little girl in the yard had already run over and opened the door of the yard, and greeted Bailijiu with a respectful voice.

Baili Jiu's voice was a little cold, and An Ruoxi, who was hurriedly arranging her hair, felt like her heart had been hit hard, stopped her hand dejectedly, and sat on the embroidery pier.

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, do you still have any thoughts about this man? Didn't what he said to himself that day hurt himself enough? Haven't you been disheartened for a long time?

The little girl went straight into the main house with Bailijiu, and Bailijiu lifted the bamboo curtain by herself, stepped in, and retreated from the girl.

An Ruoxi stood up and blessed her body towards Baili Jiufu, her tone was indifferent, but her voice couldn't help but tremble a little: "The ninth master is here?" ”

Baili Jiu said softly "um" from the end of his nose: "Rested so early?" ”

An Ruoxi pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly: "Well, there is nothing to do, I am so bored, it is better to go to bed early." ”

Baili Jiu went straight to find a seat and sat down, as if gossiping: "Haven't you gone out for a walk these days?" ”

An Ruoxilian moved slightly, and Yuan Na walked up to her, took a teapot from the table and poured him tea.

"No, it's not good for women to always show their heads."

Baili Jiu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and seemed to be careless: "Now that the Killer Pavilion Master is dead, he can't pose a threat to you, you can go out to relax, and you have to give birth to something wrong in the courtyard." ”

The teapot that An Ruoxi had not yet put down in her hand slipped from her hand and rolled onto the table, spilling tea all over the table. Fortunately, it is an herbal tea that has been dried in advance, and it is not hot.

She hurriedly held the teapot, and then wiped the water with a handkerchief to hide the panic in her eyes.

"What does this mean, Ninth Master? Ruoxi doesn't understand. ”

The corners of Baili Jiu's lips were slightly upturned, and he already understood: "What are you afraid of?" ”

"It's just a slip of the hand."

"Are you afraid of me or that impostor Luo?"

An Ruoxi smiled very reluctantly: "How could it be? I'm afraid of what the Ninth Master will do? ”

"That's the fear of that pavilion master?"

An Ruoxi's hands couldn't help but tremble, and she took the handkerchief and swept the water on the table to the ground in a panic, and forgot to dodge, splashing her soft satin embroidered shoes, and was in a hurry for a while.

She forced a smile and said: "That pavilion master looks like he is just a child, I didn't expect to do such a rebellious thing, and I deserve to die for the crime." ”

"Really?" Baili Jiu raised his face to look at her, his eyes were like blades: "Before he died, he once mentioned you to me." ”

An Ruoxi took two steps back, trembling all over, but forced to calm down: "I, I don't seem to know him very well, what did he say I did?" ”

Bailijiu put down the teacup in his hand, I don't know if it was a slippery hand or what, the teacup was poured out, making a "pop" sound.

An Ruoxi couldn't help but tremble again.

"I didn't say much, but he wanted to kill you."

An Ruoxi couldn't hold it anymore, staggered back, and fell to the ground.

"It turns out that you already know his identity, only the ninth master and I have been kept in the dark. Aren't you afraid that he will be mad and plot against the ninth master behind his back? ”

An Ruoxi shook her head in a panic: "I, I don't dare to say it, he is ruthless and will kill my whole family." ”

"Hehe, can't I fight the Ninth Master and I can't fight his little killer pavilion master?"

"No, it's not just him, there is, there are ......" An Ruoxi hesitated, not daring to continue.

"There is also an Elder Yu lurking in the capital, and it will also threaten the lives of your entire family, right?" Bailijiu didn't dare to mention the three princes for the time being, so as not to startle the snake.

An Ruoxi suddenly raised her flustered eyes and glanced at Baili Jiu, and swam away very quickly: "It turns out that you know everything." ”

"Then are you still going to continue to hide from the Ninth Master?"

An Ruoxi struggled in her heart and was silent.

Bailijiu stretched out his hand to her: "Get up, the ground is too hard." ”

An Ruoxi tentatively put her hand into Baili Jiu's big hand, and with a force from Baili Jiu, she stood up from the ground. The touch of Baili Jiu's palm made her collapse instantly, and the grievances and horrors she had accumulated over the years were so suppressed that she wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry, but when she saw Baili Jiu's cold eyes, she was deflated and forced back the tears in her eyes.

"Ninth Master, I really don't have any intention of harming you, I live in Yinian Hall, I am just too scared, I want to find a safe place to save my life."

Bailijiu nodded: "Well, I know, I wronged you in that incident last time." ”

An Ruoxi, who had been desperately forbearing, heard Baili Jiu's words of comfort, couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, tears were like a flood that burst the embankment, and finally couldn't cry.
