Chapter 9: Appointing Secret Guards
"Lady, lady!"
"Mrs. Wei."
There was a familiar voice in her ears calling her name anxiously, mixed with strange, seemingly man's, seeming ...... It's Huan Xin's.
Wei Shuyao had a dream that when she was six years old, her mother was terminally ill, and she had not seen Luo Peici for three months for fear of illness, and she was not allowed to enter the house until her mother was dying.
The dim ward was filled with the overwhelming smell of medicine, the emaciated and shriveled mother and indifferent father on the couch, and Yang Fu, who was standing outside the garden gate and holding Wei Linlang and was about to give birth, together formed a painting that shook in Wei Shuyao's mind.
"Mother!"
The turbid breath exhaled, and Wei Shuyao woke up violently, facing a pair of sharp eyes.
It's really Huan Xin.
His expression was really not good, his eyes stared at the wound on Wei Shuyao's neck and did not move, Wei Shuyao turned his head slightly, and his throat was very dry and hoarse.
"Is Mrs. Chen okay?"
"You still have time to care about others, who hurt you?" Huan Xin said dissatisfied.
Wei Shuyao gradually sobered up, only to find that she was in a strange place, she secretly scanned it with her afterglow, and was surprised to find that this was Huan Xin's inner room. Looking at Huan Xin again, he changed his clothes, his front placket was soaked with sweat and deepened, his face was in a hurry, and a bead of sweat rolled down from his sideburns and dripped onto Wei Shuyao's arm.
As if it was hot, Wei Shuyao shrank back and replied with a frightened look: "He only stabbed me with his face covered, and I couldn't see clearly." Lord Huan, what happened to Mrs. Chen? ”
Huan Xin didn't answer the question about Chen Yuanke, but asked another: "Have you seen that person carrying a bow and crossbow?" ”
"Bow and crossbow? What bow and crossbow? Wei Shuyao was really stunned this time, in fact, she didn't see anyone, she was all self-directed and acted.
Huan Xin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Someone heard your call for help after seeing an arrow feather, have you really never seen it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, a layer of cold sweat broke out behind Wei Shuyao's back, she never expected that there would really be assassins in the royal garden...... How could it be so coincidental.
"I was so frightened that I couldn't see it really, but I didn't remember seeing a crossbow."
Huan Xin nodded thoughtfully and then took out a knife, he spread out his palm and unfolded it in front of Wei Shuyao: "This is the knife that hurt you, do you have an impression?" ”
Wei Shuyao bit her lip, nodded, and replied timidly: "I have some impressions, it seems to be this handle." ”
A sharp light suddenly shot towards Wei Shuyao, as if it was about to chisel her through, and it seemed to be an illusion, Huan Xin's eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "The depth of the wound is the same as the shape of the blade, but I'm a little strange." ”
Huan Xin suddenly leaned closer, the two looked at each other, and Wei Shuyao heard Huan Xin's tone mocking: "That arrow feather has the engraving of the Liang State military system, but this knife is made of Ganzhou iron, which is produced in the Southern Jin Dynasty, what do you think?" ”
Wei Shuyao's heart instantly rose to her throat, and the man's burning body was close to her, and the breathing aura almost wrapped her entirely, and her deep eyes reflected her somewhat hasty expression.
Wei Shuyao woke up suddenly, pretending to be calm, and after recovering her look, she replied in a steady voice: "The concubine doesn't know very well, maybe there are two people?" ”
The little lady used an intimate "concubine" to claim herself, and replaced her position from the lady of Wei Guogong to the lady of the General's Mansion, Huan Xin put away her compelling momentum for a moment, and smiled faintly: "Maybe." ”
After that, he answered the question that Wei Shuyao had mentioned repeatedly before.
"Mrs. Chen's life is fine, but she was too frightened and lost her mind." He had already stood up and looked at Wei Shuyao, as if he was deliberately waiting for her answer.
Wei Shuyao wanted to stand up, but the man finally stepped forward to support her and helped Wei Shuyao to sit firmly.
Huan Xin felt that his sleeves were pulled by a pair of soft force, and when he turned around, he saw Wei Shuyao's tears rolling down, crying and saying, "Mrs. Chen is here to save me, so she ...... I just suffered from this difficulty, so I went to see Mrs. Chen. ”
Huan Xin pressed Wei Shuyao's shoulder and reprimanded, "How can you see if you are injured like this?" Seeing that the little lady's eyes were red and pitiful, she felt that her tone was a little heavy.
"I have sent someone to the Chen Mansion to condole, the General's Mansion has good feng shui and good climate, you recuperate here first, if you have the heart to see it in the future, it is not too late, I will take your two maids, although the ceremony is not compatible, but there is nothing wrong with the Holy Lord's marriage."
Huan Xin gambled to death all the words that Wei Shuyao might refuse, Wei Shuyao opened his mouth, this aggrieved appearance fell in the eyes of the man, it was a little cute, he seemed to laugh, and then beckoned: "Li Zhen!" ”
Li Zhen outside the door answered, and Huan Xin ordered: "Go and transfer the bird to protect Wei Niangzi." Li Zhen said "no" and left.
Wei Shuyao looked at Huan Xin suspiciously, and the other party explained: "If it is like your body, I am afraid that my life will not be saved if I am injured a few more times, that woman is my secret guard, and her whereabouts are hidden, and it will not affect your life." ”
Wei Shuyao looked at Huan Xin steadily, the man had a thin lips, and his speech was always cold and indifferent, but he was thoughtful and thoughtful, and she was a little scared.
Afraid of indulging in this, just like in the past and Cheng Yu, people can't fall in the same river twice anyway.
"Thank you, sir."
The lady who was slightly intimate and delicate before suddenly spoke coldly, Huan Xin's eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at Wei Shuyao, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and put it on the low table next to the collapse.
"This is glycoside cream, which can be used to remove scars, and I have already instructed two maids."
Glycin cream is a gift, Wei Shuyao's heart was slightly tingled, as if something had pierced her heart, she lowered her eyebrows and no longer looked at Huan Xin, and only thanked her warmly.
The man was about to leave after a few words, Wei Shuwei remembered a very important thing: "The general is slow, I promised Yaqi to attend her birthday banquet before, but now I am afraid that I can't go, I want to bother the general to show humility on my behalf, I have prepared a birthday gift for her here, please take it, and I will visit her in the future." ”
Huan Xin nodded, and according to Wei Shuyao's words, he sent Li Zhen to the Guogong Mansion to get a congratulatory gift.
Not long after, Tsubaki and Tsubaki entered the house. Both of them were red-eyed, and they cried when they saw the shocking wound on Wei Shuyao's neck.
Wei Shuyao beckoned and said comfortingly: "The minor injury is not in the way, it will be fine to recuperate for ten days and half a month, so what happened to Mrs. Chen?" ”
Harrier Chun wiped his tears and replied: "I heard that I lost my mind, and after I was rescued, I didn't know what to say, and then I was unconscious to this day, even if I was rescued, what if I was rescued?" The body has already been seen. Lady, what the hell is going on? ”
Wei Shuyao took the medicine handed over by Juan Chun, took a sip and said: "Chen Yuan wanted to push me down the river, but instead put herself in, I have shown Huan Xin that she fell into the water to save me, he knows what I mean, and he will definitely spread the matter." ”
"Huh? Wife! Then Mrs. Chen's mind is vicious and wants to harm you, and she deserves to fall into the water, why do you still help her? Harrier Tsubaki was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
Wei Shuyao pondered for a long time and then slowly spoke: "I want her to pay the due price for what she did, but I don't want her to be ruined for the rest of her life." If she is killed and falls into the water, she will probably marry in a hurry, but if she falls into the water because she saves people, the Chen Mansion will support her for the sake of reputation for the rest of her life, and she can spend the rest of her life as a female crown. ”
"Although she has a vicious mind, she was blamed by the world for being naked after falling into the water, not for her alone, but for all the women in the world."
The two servants nodded as if they didn't understand, and when they saw Wei Shuyao's tired expression, they changed her medicine and retired.
The moonlight outside the window was hazy, Wei Shuyao's heart was heavy, and she didn't know whether she was doing right or wrong.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Huan Xin looked at the arrow feathers in his hand, the arrows were sharp and made by precision, and the arrow handles were engraved with Liang Guo's secret words, which were not made by the army, but used by Liang Guo.
"Blatantly assassinating in the royal gardens of the capital, this Liang Guo's meticulous work is too rampant." Li Zhen sighed.
Huan Xin's eyes flashed fiercely, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The matter is big, send the elite to follow this arrow feather to investigate, and tomorrow I will meet the saint to ask for a thorough investigation of the people in Yanque Lake that day." ”
Li Zhen took the order and set off to do it, Huan Xin took out the knife from his arms and put it in front of him.
There was no mark on the knife, it was just made by an ordinary craftsman, he recalled the wound on Wei Shuyao's neck, picked up the knife and raised it to his neck.
The wind was howling outside the window, Huan Xin's mind was full of the scene he saw when he rushed to the hospital, the little lady's clothes were all dyed, and she was so red that half a basin of blood had been received next to her, and her chest was calm, as if she had lost her breath.
At that moment, his heart was pulled up, and he felt pain like never before.
I didn't expect ......
With a "clang", the knife was thrown on the table with some anger.
