Chapter 11 Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

Jin Ge thought carefully about the details about Chen Chen, and felt that she seemed to be going for her and Jinxuan, and her gestures were not like ordinary folk women, she seemed to be good at everything. Jin Ge didn't tell Jinxuan about her guess, but only told her to watch out for Chen Chen.

Jin Ge returned to Shoukang Palace, instructed Tao Hong and Liu Lu to keep an eye on Chen Chen, and asked Xiao Anzi to pay attention to the Queen Mother's diet.

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother has been sleepy recently, so she only chatted with Ling Zisu today and went to sleep. Jin Ge is not worried that there will be problems with the Queen Mother's diet, because there is someone to help the Queen Mother taste the food, so there is only tonic left. Jin Ge took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, took some medicine and went directly to Nuo Ye, Nuo Ye is proficient in medical science, and it is most reassuring to find her.

Nuo Ye said that there is no poison in the tonic, but the lotus seeds did not go to the heart, and the lotus seeds were supposed to calm the nerves, but the lotus seeds were to go to the heart fire, which was a cold thing, and the queen mother was old and weak, and if she took it for a long time, the consequences could be imagined.

Jin Ge frowned, she always felt that Chen Chen must have a force behind him, and it was related to the previous assassination.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said goodbye to Nuoye and returned to Shoukang Palace.

She went to see the Queen Mother, but found that the Queen Mother was sitting and asleep, it should be counting the Buddhist beads and chanting the scriptures, Jin Ge smelled a strange aroma, not like the Queen Mother's usual soothing incense, there is a little bit of other smell, it is difficult to detect easily.

She walked over and turned on the incense burner, and the aroma came to her face, and she was a little dizzy.

Jin Ge sat slumped on the ground, she suddenly became scared, she didn't know how many other things about the Queen Mother had been manipulated. She was deeply guilty, if she hadn't brought Chen Chen back, she wouldn't have put the Imperial Grandmother in unknown danger again.

"County Lord?"

Xiao Anzi helped Jin Ge up, helped her out, and motioned her to walk out of Shoukang Palace to a secluded place.

"County master, the servants have been carefully investigated, but I'm afraid that many people in the palace have been bought."

Jin Ge's heart was shocked, and she didn't pay attention to her feet on the steps, she tried to stabilize her body, and said: "You just need to continue to investigate, but the action should be extremely small, and it is inconvenient for others to know." ”

For more than half a month, Jin Ge didn't have the heart to play with Jinxuan, even if she was fine, she only stayed in Shoukang Palace. Through the efforts of Xiao Anzi, Taohong, and Liu Lu, the Queen Mother's state has also improved, but she still has no clue about the forces behind Chen Chen, Chen Chen does things without leakage and is very cautious.

Jin Ge was in a trance with the teacup, and suddenly felt her hand being grabbed hard, and she felt pain - one was a burn on the palm, and the other was Ling Zisu pinching her wrist a little too hard.

"You come with me." Ling Zisu let go of Jin Ge's hand and walked forward on his own. Jin Ge followed him to the Tai Hospital, and after the imperial doctor took care of Jin Ge's hand, he took Jin Ge to a more desolate place in the palace.

"Your movement will startle the snake." Ling Zisu looked at her and said, Jin Ge was shocked.

He knew he was secretly investigating? Who told him?

It is impossible for her confidant to betray herself, so it should be that she is not investigating well enough.

But if King Xiang can detect her small movements, then what about those people? Could they have noticed something strange already?

Jin Ge was shocked, and ignored Ling Zisu's words forbidding her to continue the investigation, and directly turned around and ran back to Shoukang Palace, she wanted to go back to see the imperial grandmother.

After confirming the safety of the Queen Mother, Jin Ge returned to her room to change her clothes before wrapping herself in the quilt.

The next day, Jin Ge packed up and went to the city to find Zhang Yuan. She asked if there was anything unusual on the street on the day she took Chen Chen, and she also wanted to check Chen Chen's background, but a woman who sold herself to bury her father, no matter what, she couldn't have much intersection with others.

Jin Ge was walking down the street at a loss, when something suddenly passed by her feet, she was startled, and she fixed her eyes on it, it turned out to be a wild cat.

But I don't know why, she always felt that this cat was weird. It's strange that in broad daylight, wild cats are running around the streets, and they dare to look at her.

Driven by curiosity, Jin Ge followed the cat to an extremely remote dead end, the cat turned to Jin Ge and barked, Jin Ge walked over in a hurry, and when she got closer, she found that the cat's hind feet were tied with a note, she squatted down and took the note, the words on it she didn't recognize, but it looked like the words of another country.

"Meow!"

The cat barked and ran behind Jin Ge, who turned around and found a man wearing an iron mask. Iron Mask took out his dagger and approached Jin Ge step by step.

Can this man tame animals?

Jin Ge turned to look at the person in front of him, the dagger style was not like a thing in the capital, but it was also very fine, and it looked very sharp.

The iron mask couldn't help but say that he waved the dagger, Jin Ge carefully avoided it a few times, but there were still bruises, although she had light skills, but in the end, she learned for the sword dance a few years ago, and at this time it was all returned to Jin Xuan's girl, seeing that the iron mask was stabbing at the killing move, Jin Ge knew that he couldn't avoid it this time, so he simply closed his eyes, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", and the iron mask turned sideways and took a few steps back.

"Boom!"

A willow dart was inserted into the wall.

Ling Zisu, who was dressed in a dark robe, drew his sword and stood, he glanced at Jin Ge who was standing at the end of the alley, and pointed at the iron mask with his sword.

The two were silent for a while, and the iron mask took the lead in swinging his knife towards Ling Zisu. After only three rounds of fighting, Iron Mask was knocked out by Ling Zisu.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting out, Iron Mask stretched out his right hand into his arms and said tentatively: "It is said that King Xiang is frail and ....... ”

Ling Zisu mercilessly killed the Iron Mask with a single sword, and he withdrew the sword from its scabbard after flicking the blood from the sword. Looking at the iron mask's slowly softening body, he didn't say anything more, walked to Jin Ge, who was still stunned, looked at her wounds, and after making sure that it was only the surface, he picked her up horizontally.

"I ...... I just saw you martial arts too...... Are you going to kill me? Jin Ge grabbed Ling Zisu's collar as if he was afraid of falling, and asked tremblingly.

Ling Zisu was stunned, but quickly reacted and said, "No." These two words were like a heart-strengthening and tranquilizer, and Jin Ge's tense nerves relaxed when he heard it, and he suddenly felt extremely sleepy.

"Lord Wang!"

Qing'er rushed over, but saw his own prince staring blankly at the sleeping little county lord in his arms. Ling Zisu quickly came back to his senses, the gentleness in his eyes just now was completely gone, and he only said lightly: "Deal with it." ”

Qing'er looked at the corpse, then at Ling Zisu and at Mu Jinge in his arms, and suddenly smiled.

Ling Zisu carried Jin Ge into the carriage, he put her on the couch, and saw Jin Ge holding his collar tightly, and the sleeping Jin Ge unconsciously rubbed into his arms and shrunk into a ball. Ling Zisu felt that there was something wrong with his chest, and his heart was beating too hard at this time.

"Lord, I'm ......" Qing'er, who had disposed of the corpse, got into the carriage and was about to report the situation, when he just opened the curtain, but saw that his master's beauty was in his arms, so he hurriedly lowered the curtain.

“…… Excuse me. ”

Ling Zisu didn't care about Qing'er's strange tone, the sound of heartbeat was infinitely amplified in his ears, and it was not like the kind of heartbeat after practicing martial arts, he was a little confused for a while.

The carriage returned to Xiangwang's mansion, and Qing'er volunteered to go to the palace to invite the imperial doctor, and repeatedly promised that it was absolutely reliable, and the affairs of the little county lord would never be leaked out.

Seeing off the imperial doctor, Ling Zisu sat next to Jin Ge. Jin Ge, who was asleep, turned over and shrunk into a ball, her hand still grasping Ling Zisu's sleeve, her frowning brows slowly relaxed, and her gentle breathing rolled up the fragrance of lily of the valley, and wisps hit Ling Zisu's nose.

Like an insecure kitten.

Jin Ge licked his lips and grinned, as if he had some sweet dream, looking gentle and lovely. Ling Zisu involuntarily stroked her cheek, but after a while, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, as if something had taken root in his heart.

"Lord Wang, the emperor sent someone to ask." Qing'er walked in lightly with a teacup.

Ling Zisu retracted his gaze, and after he took a sip of tea, he said, "The county lord is not here. ”
