Chapter Eighty-Three: Killing the Snake

The matter has been solved with ease, Lin Xin'er didn't want to bother with this issue of Ximen Jingyu, and instead remembered Yiyao's matter.

It is difficult to act under the nose of Ximen Jingxuan, and to enter Mo Yaxuan's secret dark room.

Hearing Yi Yao's response, Lin Xin'er knew that Yi Yao had woken up and was relieved.

After filling her stomach, Lin Xin'er lay back on the bed before she began to really rest.

After a while, the door creaked open, Yan'er walked in gently, and saw that the cold food on the table was eaten by Lin Xin'er, frowned, and said with reproach, "Oh, Miss, why did you eat cold food?" When they wake up, they do not call their slaves and maidservants. ”

Lin Xin'er closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, ignoring Yan'er.

Yan'er shook her head helplessly, helped Lin Xin'er cover the quilt, and walked out of the house with the rest of the meal.

At this time, it was already dark, Lin Xin'er took a nap, heard a sound outside, got up, quietly walked out of the house, turned over and jumped on the roof, leaning over the rubble to pay attention to the nearby movements, only to see a few figures hurriedly swept in the direction of Ximen Jingxuan's study.

The whereabouts of these people are not hidden, they should be from Ximen Jingxuan, it seems that Ximen Jingxuan has something to do tonight.

Lin Xin'er was curious and quietly returned to the house.

Suddenly, a slippery thing scurried under her feet, and following the direction of the thing, Lin Xin'er clearly saw a black shadow like a snake burrowing into her quilt.

Lin Xin'er then screamed and ran out of the house.

She wasn't sure if the snake that was deliberately sent by Liu Suixiang came back to commit the crime, or if someone did it on purpose, so she could only pretend to be panicked.

"Xiaobai, is Xiaobai here?" Someone with a lantern looked at the gate of the Plum Blossom Garden.

"It's Mrs. May." Hearing Lin Xin'er's scream, Yan'er who ran out of another side room recognized the person.

"Princess, did the snake scare you again?" Mrs. May walked into the Plum Blossom Garden with a lantern.

In the red light of the lantern, Lin Xin'er saw this Mrs. Mei who knew how to train snakes for the first time, with a graceful figure, melon seed face, apricot eyes and cherry mouths, and the appearance of a standard small jasper.

Lin Xin'er rubbed her chest, pointed to her room, and said to Mrs. Mei, "That snakeβ€”"

Mrs. Mei nodded, blessed Lin Xin'er, and walked into the house.

Lin Xin'er silently watched Mrs. Mei's back, only to see that she made a few gestures and made a strange sound, and the snake sprang out of the quilt and wrapped around Mrs. Mei's lantern-wielding arm.

Mrs. Mei turned around and walked out of the house, came to Lin Xin'er, and said, "Princess Niangniang, this snake concubine has been taken away, and I promise that I will not disturb Niangniang again." ”

"Huh? This snake training technique is very interesting, can you teach it to me, Mrs. May? Lin Xin'er looked at the little white snake on Mrs. Mei's arm with curiosity.

"What are you doing here? Do you want to take a few more bites, or do you want to disturb the peace of the palace? ”

As soon as Ximen Jingxuan's voice fell, his figure had already jumped in front of the two, and with a wave of his hand, the seven inches of the little white snake broke apart, broke into two pieces and fell in front of Mrs. Mei's feet.

"Ahh As soon as Mrs. May's exclamation came out, she forcibly blocked it back, staring blankly at the snake on the ground.

Lin Xin'er looked at the reddish light emitted by the lantern, and a faint sadness crossed Mrs. Mei's face.

"Go back to you." Ximen Jingxuan said lightly to Mrs. Mei.

Mrs. Mei squatted down silently, picked up the two snake bodies, picked up the hem of her clothes, and left the Plum Blossom Court with the lantern.

Lin Xin'er knew that it was her exclamation just now that attracted Ximen Jingxuan, so she stood silently, waiting for his move.

Ximen Jingxuan walked up to Lin Xin'er, and in the night, his eyes twinkled like stars.

The two faced each other silently, and the smoke on the side mistakenly thought that he was very an eyesore and affected the good things of the prince and the young lady, and hurriedly ran to his house.

Lin Xin'er also felt that the atmosphere at this time was a little weird, and looked up at Ximen Jingxuan without changing her face.

"What do you say this king smells like now?" In a moment, Ximen Jingxuan broke the silence.

Lin Xin'er was slightly stunned, her eyes flashed when she looked at Ximen Jingxuan, and she shook her head blankly.

"Don't know?" Ximen Jingxuan asked rhetorically in a calm tone.

Lin Xin'er shook her head again.

At this time, she had already guessed that it must be related to the fact that she was the first to point out that Chen Rufeng had the fragrance of jasmine on her body in Jinyang Palace, and in front of Chen Rufeng, she dared to secretly condense the smell on his body, but in front of Ximen Jingxuan, she didn't dare to use her own skills, which was a prelude to making things difficult for herself.

It seems that Ximen Jingxuan is really a careful person, every detail can arouse his suspicions, fortunately, his kung fu of condensing the smell is a level in the Water Moon Exercises, which is unique to the Water Moon Palace, if he doesn't say it, Ximen Jingxuan will never know.

Sure enough, Ximen Jingxuan said next, "In the palace, isn't your nose quite smart?" ”

He had already investigated everything that happened in the palace, closed his eyes and didn't think about it, he knew that Chen Rufeng would never be stupid enough to send a killer to the prison to assassinate Lin Xin'er, but the evidence was very unfavorable to him, and the emperor, who was tossed into a frightened bird by the war eight years ago, could no longer tolerate the slightest sloppiness, so he would directly order Chen Rufeng's dynasty.

Although the superficial result is also what he wants, he also has to figure out the intrigues behind the matter.

"In the palace?" Lin Xin'er said suddenly, "In the palace, the fragrance of flowers on Chen Shangshu's body is indeed very strong, and the concubine can smell it clearly, and the concubine has also carefully changed through the clothes of Gonggong Tao, and she can also smell the fragrance of jasmine flowers closely, so she definitely pointed out Chen Shangshu's suspicious deeds." ”

Anyway, it's been a long time since the incident, and it's up to her to say it.

Ximen Jingxuan naturally expected this, and did not continue to ask, but the suspicion still existed, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Xin'er, "It's best not to let this king find out that this matter is related to Lin Taishi, Chen Rufeng was dismissed because of his suspicious appearance, and Lin Taishi will also have this possibility." ”

"Don't worry, Daddy is sitting up straight, not afraid of the prince to check." Lin Xin'er smiled, this matter really has nothing to do with the Taishi Mansion, Ximen Jingxuan really wanted to deviate.

But then Lin Xin'er's voice changed, and she said, "Actually, although the evidence in this matter points directly to Chen Shangshu, the concubine does have doubts. ”

"Oh?" Ximen Jingxuan's gaze did not move, and he kept staring at Lin Xin'er tightly.

"Actually, when I talked to the prince about this in private, the concubine believed that the prince did it." Lin Xin'er continued with a calm face.
