"Not yet, don't worry," Cheng Shuiyao pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, but the smile was a little far-fetched.

The wound on her body still hurt after applying the medicine, she felt that her whole body was hot, and even her aggravated tone would hurt, so she could only speak softly.

"Okay, then I'll be here with you for a while," Xiao Ji nodded, knowing that she needed someone to accompany her now, so she didn't get up to leave.

"Did anyone catch up?"

Cheng Shuiyao coughed lightly and reluctantly spoke.

Although she could see the situation outside in the space and knew that no one had reported the news to Xiao Ji, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart and she wanted to hear the good news.

However, the reality was not as she hoped.

Xiao Ji shook his head, his tone was full of self-blame, "I haven't found it yet, I can't avenge you, but don't worry, I will find him sooner or later." ”

"It's not your fault," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head and immediately spoke, "When he was close to me, I smelled a special smell on him, but I don't know if there is a place to grow grapefruit in the capital. ”

"Yuzu?" Xiao Ji frowned, as if he didn't know the existence of this thing at all, and asked uncertainly, "What is grapefruit?" ”

"A fruit that is almost round, the skin is yellow, and you can eat the fruit inside when you open the skin," Cheng Shuiyao knew that he had not been exposed to this term, so he tried his best to introduce him to the general situation of grapefruit in an easy-to-understand way.

"Is there such a thing in the world?" Xiao Ji smacked his tongue and felt that he had opened his eyes.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't expect that he really didn't know, and hesitated instantly.

At first, she thought that this dynasty had another name for grapefruit, but now it seems that such a thing does not exist in this world at all.

So what's the deal with the grapefruit aroma on that man's body?

I really can't figure out why, Cheng Shuiyao sighed.

"You ask Yuzu why?" Xiao Ji intuitively felt that there was a way in this, so he asked.

As soon as Cheng Shuiyao was about to speak, she suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

There is no grapefruit in this world, so is it strange that she knows? How could she explain this?

couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so Cheng Shuiyao could only pretend that she was in pain and divert the topic.

Xiao Ji heard her say that it hurt, and instantly put the matter of Yuzu behind her and began to comfort her.

"Is there any progress on this matter?" Cheng Shuiyao closed her eyes and endured the pain for a while, still feeling that she needed a topic to divert her attention, so she asked.

"Moqi and the others found the body of a subordinate, and then deduced that the mastermind had left the capital and was now checking at the door with my search warrant," Xiao Ji frowned and told Cheng Shuiyao about the current progress.

Although he gave a search warrant, he didn't think that this matter could be found.

Since the mastermind behind it has arranged such a complex and huge game, he will definitely not miss in this small place, and the probability that they can find out is very small.

"This matter is too complicated, when they find out, the daylilies will be cold," Cheng Shuiyao also clearly knew that the possibility of this matter was extremely low, and sighed faintly.

But nothing has progressed on this matter.

Xiao Ji frowned, but she couldn't bear to tell Cheng Shuiyao this fact, so she could only rub her hair comfortingly.

"You also have injuries on your body, don't waste it on me, you call Xiaoyun over and let her serve me," Cheng Shuiyao did not forget that Xiao Ji still had injuries, but she couldn't say it explicitly, so she could only change her way to let him go back to rest.

Xiao Ji wanted to refuse, but looking at her eyes, she always felt as if she knew something, and instantly lost the confidence to resist, and nodded directly.

Xiaoyun came in quickly, Xiao Ji said hello to Cheng Shuiyao, and walked out of the house.

But he didn't plan to rest at all, and directly took his token and entered the palace.

There are many things involved in this matter, and he needs to know the emperor before he can show his skills.

successfully met the emperor, Xiao Ji bowed and directly revealed his purpose.

"I've already sealed off the city gates, it will take some time to find out, don't worry," the emperor looked at his expression, feeling that he was a little too excited.

"But what if he had already left the capital?" Xiao Ji raised his voice and spoke with a serious face.

"Why do you say that?"

The emperor frowned, but looking at his determined appearance, he knew that he was not talking about it.

"My subordinates found the body of the subordinate behind the mastermind by the moat, if nothing else, it should be the mastermind behind the unloading and killing the donkey, and then following the direction of the corpse, it is not difficult for us to deduce that the murderer is fleeing outside the capital."

Xiao Ji squinted his eyes and explained his findings one by one.

"As you said, this is a speculation, and we must pay attention to real evidence in doing things," the emperor sat up straight, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Then let me put it another way," Xiao Ji knew that the emperor would not recognize himself so easily, so he quickly opened another set of analysis, "According to the time of death, the corpse was dead for at least an hour, and it was only a short half an hour from the moat to the city gate, which was enough for that person to escape." ”

"This statement is somewhat interesting," the emperor thought about it for a moment, and then came up with the connection, and recognized his idea a lot, "then according to your meaning, what are you going to do?" ”

"That person still has arrangements left in the capital, he will definitely not escape from this, and he will definitely come back after the limelight is less, but there are only two places leading in that direction, and I want to send some people to block his way back in advance," Xiao Ji's face was calm, and the thoughts he said were quite rigorous.

The emperor did not reply in a hurry, but carefully analyzed the pros and cons of this matter, and finally nodded.

"In that case, then do as you say, I will immediately issue an order to send two teams of the Royal Forest Army to ambush, but I can say in advance, if things do not develop as you expected, then this matter will be stopped.

The foreign envoy is coming soon, and he is not prepared to make a fuss about this matter, otherwise it will be a shame to spread the word.

Xiao Ji is not a fool, he naturally knows what the emperor is worried about, and nods seriously, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, I heard that your wife is not lightly injured, so go back quickly!" The Emperor didn't want to say anything more to him, and waved his hand impatiently to let him go.

I don't know what's going on lately, and it's not a good thing to have anything to do with Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji didn't stay long, and after getting the emperor's reply, he hurried back to his mansion.

He is really relieved to get off Cheng Shuiyao now, and he can't wait to stay by her bedside every step of the way.
