"All stupid what to do. Miaozhi, bring the fruit knife. Rong Qiaoyan shouted sharply.
The smell of blood in this room, although it has dissipated a little just now, still has a faint smell, and I always have to get some blood to explain.
Miaozhi was so frightened that she could only obey the order in a daze, took the fruit knife and handed it to Rong Qiaoyan, and saw Rong Qiaoyan calmly make a cut on her palm.
"Miss," Miaozhi was so frightened that she couldn't make a loud noise, and could only scream quietly from her throat.
The man in black who heard Miaozhi's exclamation turned his head to see this scene, and his pupils shrank heavily.
"Miss, miss, there are officers and soldiers searching outside, don't be afraid."
After such a long time, Mama Yang had already arrived at the door of the main house and began to knock on the door.
Miaozhi went to the door of the house to deal with Mama Yang. Don't let her in. Rong Qiaoyan pale and commanded with pain.
Miaozhi glanced at Rong Qiaoyan, quickly arrived at the door, and went to deal with Mama Yang.
Rong Qiaoyan used a handkerchief to thickly bandage the wound on her palm. Seeing this, the man in black quickly stepped forward to help tie a knot.
"You squat in the tub and dip in the water if the searcher comes in. Be sure to hold your breath when the time comes. ”
Rong Qiaoyan whispered painfully.
The man in black glanced at Rong Qiaoyan deeply, stepped into the bathtub, and carefully squatted down.
And Rong Qiaoyan also reluctantly stepped into the bathtub and used a large cloth towel to wipe her body after bathing and tightly circled the top of the bathtub. Then he cautiously leaned against the other side of the tub.
At this time, the searcher outside the door had already walked quickly into the courtyard and walked towards the main house.
At the side of the steps under the porch in front of the door, he was stopped by Mama Yang and Miaozhi.
"Our young lady is bathing, I don't know what is the matter with the adults?" Miaoeda asked without hiding her fright.
"The deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the lower five cities, surnamed Fan. Please tell Miss Six that there is a killer who runs to assassinate the second prince tonight, and this killer is very dangerous. Now the officer is ordered to track down the Assassins. Please forgive Miss Six. ”
The soldiers at the door heard the words of the woman who opened the door, and knew that it was the family members of the Rong Shoufu family who were in this courtyard---------- although she was just a young lady, but it was not good to be too casual.
Therefore, after waiting for Deputy Commander Fan to come over and make a report, Deputy Commander Fan personally came over to explain.
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and tell my young lady."
After hearing this, Miaoeda retreated to the main room, closed the door, and slowly walked to the bathtub.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at the wound wrapped in a white cloth on Rong Qiaoyan's palm, and told Fan what Commander Shi said.
As Miao Zhi spoke, she asked Rong Qiaoyan where the man in black was hiding with her eyes.
Rong Qiaoyan was afraid that Miaozhi didn't know where the man in black was hiding, and if she missed her tracks, she gestured to the bathtub with her eyes.
Miaozhi's eyes were visibly rounded, and she looked like she was unacceptably broken.
And Rong Qiaoyan stared at Miaozhi sternly until Miaozhi calmed down.
The room was quiet for a while, and the people outside guessed that Rong Qiaoyan was talking to Miaozhi.
After a while, Miaozhi opened the door and walked to the porch at the door, and said to the people in the courtyard, "Miss said that she was bathing, and she didn't see any assassins, and she couldn't let the adults enter the house to search." ”
"The official knew that the wings of the nunnery were all female dependents, so he didn't dare to be abrupt. Therefore, I want the mother-in-law in the house to ask the young lady to say goodbye, so that the assassin will not disturb the young lady. ”
Commander Fan outside the door was obviously prepared, and he must send someone in to see what was going on.
Therefore, he said loudly into the house, and no one would speak.
Fortunately, he was still a good manner, but he was just talking in the courtyard and did not come forward.
As his words fell, a middle-aged woman dressed in green had already appeared beside him.
There was silence in the room for a while.
"Miaoeda, please come in." Rong Qiaoyan's voice came from afar.
When Miaozhi heard this, she saluted and said, "Please come in." ”
The grandmother followed Miaozhi into the house, and Miaozhi then closed the door.
After the middle-aged grandmother came in, she saluted Miaozhi and said, "Hello girl." Tonight, because of the disturbance of the assassins, my lord arranged for us slaves and maids to give ladies and ladies and ladies to say goodbye. The slave's surname is Wu. ”
After speaking, Mama Wu moved her nose, and then frowned.
Miaozhi replied, "Mama come with me." ”
When Miaozhi saw Mama Wu's appearance, she knew that she should have smelled blood, and secretly congratulated her young lady for taking precautions.
Mama Wu rolled her eyes and quickly took a look at the room.
The room is a uniform layout in the nunnery, with a screen separating the inner and outer rooms.
At this moment, the outer room and the inner room are lit with candles, which makes it clear at a glance.
In the outer room was a table with a few chairs, and against the wall there was a north window, which was closed at the moment.
Mama Wu stared deeply at the window for a few moments, and then continued to walk in with Miaozhi.
Bypassing the screen is considered to be stepping into the inner room.
At a glance, Mama Wu saw a large bathtub placed on the outside of the bed near the north wall, and a teenage girl was sitting in the bathtub.
There was a steaming bucket next to the tub, presumably filled with hot water.
A large cloth towel was wrapped around the top of the tub and wrapped around the young lady's shoulder.
But her left arm was naked on the bath tub, and her palm was wrapped in a white handkerchief, faintly showing blood.
Mama Wu knows about this sixth lady in the Rongshoufu Mansion. So, she hurriedly bowed down to say goodbye.
When she was done, she repeated what she had just said to Miaoeda.
Rong Qiaoyan naturally said that there were only her and her own maid in this room, and there were no assassins.
When Rong Qiaoyan spoke, Mama Wu's eyes quickly looked at the inner room.
In the inner room, on the east side of the wall, there was a north-south bed, and the gauze tent was hung up, and the bed was covered with a mattress and a folded thin quilt.
The place on the north side of the bed, against the wall, is a simple cabinet configured in the hermitage, the door is open, and there is a large open bag inside, as if it has just finished taking things from it, and has not had time to close the cupboard door.
Next to the cupboard are two large cages side by side.
To the south of the bed is a simple table with a jewelry box stacked on top.
And under the south window facing the courtyard, there is a small couch for people to rest.
The room is simply furnished and all the belongings are in full view.
"This assassin is ferocious, I'm really afraid that he will collide with Miss, especially when Miss is still bathing."
Mama Wu said politely while slowly walking in the direction of the bathtub, carefully looking at the bed and the wardrobe along the way, which are convenient for Tibetans.
Mama Wu looked at Rong Qiaoyan who was wrapped in a cloth towel, hesitated for a while, and thought about whether to lift the cloth towel?
Miaozhi nervously pinched her palm in her sleeve with her hand.
But Rong Qiaoyan looked calm.
"That Mama Lao bothered. Feel free to search for it. Miao Zhi opened the cage and the cabinet door for Mama to look at. It's just that I'm defenseless in the tub, but I can't let Mama investigate. ”
Rong Qiaoyan said lightly while instructing Miaozhi.
"Miss, this is a joke. Where is the search, it's just to come and say goodbye to the young lady. ”
That Mama Wu saw that her mind was seen through by Rong Qiaoyan, so she made up a curt.
Even though she said this, she also set her eyes on the cage and the cabinet door that had been opened by Miaozhi, and looked at it hastily.
I saw that except for some simple items, there were no Tibetans inside.
Therefore, Mama Wu was really a little surprised.
