When the Liu family left, Bai Qiurui was stunned for a moment.

She knew that her mother had never been a woman who liked to fight, and this was probably the first time she took the initiative to find her father.

Or for himself, with a purpose to find his own father.

Taking a deep breath, seeing that it was not too early outside, Bai Qiurui asked Lan'er to prepare a bucket of cold water for her to pour into the bathtub.

Lan'er was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked her what she was going to do.

Bai Qiurui didn't bother to explain to the little girl, just urged her to hurry up and prepare, so she lay on the bed and pretended to sleep for a while.

Han Muze's side room is completely outside the plot of the original book, and Bai Qiurui doesn't know how the follow-up will develop, she only hopes that Han Muze can eliminate the idea of accepting herself as a concubine.

She is now injured in her ankle, and Zhou Huaiyuan will definitely inform Han Muze. Even if it was the worst result, Han Muze forcibly wanted to accept herself as a side room, so as long as she was lingering on the sickbed at the moment, it would be able to delay for some time.

Lan'er quickly prepared a large bucket of cold water, which was still quite cold and biting in the spring.

Bai Qiurui solemnly warned Lan'er not to tell anyone about this, and then sent the little girl out. I stripped off my clothes, forced my aching ankles, gritted my teeth and got into the tub.

Hiss!

It's cold!

Bai Qiurui soaked in cold water, gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

It's not enough for her ankle injuries now, these minor injuries will heal soon.

She was going to take a cool shower, and then she was going to get seriously ill. In this way, you can delay a little longer, wait for things to develop, and finally improvise.

After soaking for enough time, Bai Qiurui got up and went to bed by herself tremblingly.

looked at his hands shaking like an aunt in a college cafeteria, and nodded with satisfaction.

She's going to have a fever and a cold tomorrow!

However, the reality was more satisfying than expected.

She slept until the middle of the night, she had already started a high fever, and called Lan'er in a hoarse voice, and Bai Qiurui fell asleep contentedly.

In the next few days, Bai Qiurui contracted severe typhoid fever and repeated high fevers, which scared Liu and his father Bai Hong a lot.

And his mother-in-law, Liu, also said that he moved his father, and wrote back to Han Muze to refuse his post in the side room.

This situation made Bai Qiurui very happy, as long as she rested in peace now, and after a few days there was no movement in the palace, she should be fine.

Just looking at her mother's clothes and taking care of herself by the bed all day long, Bai Qiurui was a little weak-hearted, and she always felt that she couldn't go.

On this day, she had just frowned and drank a large bowl of bitter medicine when she heard Lan'er say that there was a woman outside the mansion who said that she was her friend and came to visit.

When Bai Qiurui heard this, she immediately guessed the identity of the person who came.

Except for Sui Hong, who met in the palace that day, who else could there be.

Liu originally thought that his daughter was unwell, and wanted Lan'er to refuse the other party.

Fortunately, Bai Qiurui reacted quickly, and immediately said the relationship between Sui Hong and Shen Yuan, and said that it was Sui Hong who saved himself under the murderer's knife that day, and then the Liu family hurriedly asked Lan'er to invite people in.

After a while, Lan'er led Sui Hong, who was wearing a white power suit, into the door. When I saw it today, the other party was still heroic, and his every move was clean and neat, without dragging the mud and water.

"Sick-faced, I couldn't get up to greet him, Sister Sui is not strange."

Bai Qiurui reluctantly sat up from the bed, leaned on the cushion behind her, and apologized to Sui Hong with a smile.

Then looked at Sui Honglishu and greeted the Liu clan respectfully and thoughtfully, and then looked at Bai Qiurui's concerned inquiry.

"Why haven't you seen you for a few days, sister, you are emaciated like this?"

Liu saw that the two had something to talk about, and it was a rare companion for his daughter, so he left the house immediately and closed the door for the two of them.

Talking about her condition, Bai Qiurui was in a better mood just now, and suddenly disappeared again.

The already sickly face is even more pale. The lips were bloodless, and the long hair was scattered behind him, and the white was a little scary.

When Sui Hong saw her like this, she was even more curious, and immediately asked her the ins and outs of the matter.

Bai Qiurui hesitated again and again, but finally told the truth of the matter. When Sui Hong heard that she tore up the post sent by Han Muze, her face was slightly stunned.

"You mean, when you came back from the palace that day, the prince sent a post asking you to be a side room?" Sui Hong frowned slightly, and her tone was a little heavy.

Bai Qiurui nodded: "So, I have no other way, I can only use the excuse of being sick and unwell first, delay it for a while, and then see what the follow-up situation is." ”

After clarifying the ins and outs, Sui Hong also knew Bai Qiurui's thoughts, and she unexpectedly agreed with Bai Qiurui.

"Everyone only looks at the glory and wealth of the palace, but they don't know that if they marry a husband who has no sincerity, they will only be abandoned."

Hearing this, Bai Qiurui found that this Sui girl was still a lover. The two have similar ideas, and the conversation is becoming more and more speculative.

After briefly talking about her recent situation, Bai Qiurui still asked Sui Hong about the progress of the ghost soldier murder case, but she didn't know that the answer given to her by the other party made her stunned.

"Why can't this case be closed?"

Bai Qiurui couldn't understand what this meant, judging from the situation that day, Shen Yuan clearly found something, and then he could rush to the palace in time to arrest the murderer.

Why is it said that this case is not closed?

"Three murderers were caught in the palace that day, but after they were escorted back to the criminal department, all three of them died mysteriously."

Bai Qiurui was surprised when she heard this, and she suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"The prisons of the Criminal Department are heavily guarded, so how could all the murderers die violently? Has the cause of death ever been found? ”

I saw Sui Hong shaking his head and saying that the guards and jailers on duty that day did not find anything abnormal.

But after an hour, when they heard the sound from the cell, it was too late, and after examination, all three of them were pierced into the death hole by silver needles, and died of exhaustion.

The most bizarre thing is that since the violent death of the three murderers, Kyoto has suddenly returned to normal, and there are no more murders, and no one has seen the ghost soldiers.

It's as if it suddenly appeared out of thin air and suddenly disappeared on its own, without a trace and impossible to find.

Bai Qiurui was silent for a moment and said, "Has Lord Shen also given up the pursuit?" ”

Sui Hong suddenly smiled and said: "I always think that you deliberately asked about Brother Shen, and you don't know his temperament, of course you will continue to investigate." ”

"Speaking of which, I have been entrusted to see you today."

Bai Qiurui leaned on the head of the bed, and when she heard Sui Hong's tone, her intuition couldn't be Shen Yuan again, right?

Sui Hong saw the clue from Bai Qiurui's expression and smiled: "That's right, it was Brother Shen who asked me to come to see you." He heard that not only did you have an ankle injury but also a severe wind chill, so he asked me to take a look. ”

had a few encounters with Shen Yuan, and Bai Qiurui could also guess that Shen Yuan happened to be injured when he was in the palace, and it was normal for Sui Hong to come to visit him with his temperament.

Not to mention anything else, I have helped him sort out the case to some extent, and he can be regarded as half a friend.

Talking to Sui Hong, Bai Qiurui didn't notice that there was an extra figure outside the door.

Xiao Mingrui was informed by Bai Yueyue that he saw a woman beside Shen Yuan in the palace that day and came to visit Bai Qiurui in the palace.

It was revealed that the other party was entrusted by Shen Yuan to visit, which made him feel like a numb heart, and even if he came to the courtyard, he let him listen to it.

A few words of laughter came from time to time in the house, and Xiao Mingrui clearly heard that it was indeed Qiu Rui's cousin who Shen Yuan had asked someone to visit.

His heart was cold all of a sudden, and the words Bai Yueyue said a few days ago were like nails piercing his heart.

What Cousin Yue said is true, Qiu Rui really has something to do with the man next to her.

I have been taking care of it carefully these days, treating Cousin Qiurui as a treasure in the palm of my hand, and I don't dare to be disciplined at all.

didn't know that she had a close relationship with someone in private.

If it weren't for that, how could Shen Yuan, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department, personally send Qiu Rui's cousin back to his house, and disregarded etiquette, and carried his cousin back to the small courtyard in public.

Now it's even more specially for people to visit, if nothing happened between the two, how could it be like this?

She didn't look down on her powerlessness, so she refused to show her favor in every way. Once there is a better person with a high status, she will rush to get close!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mingrui couldn't hold back any longer, he pushed open the door of Bai Qiurui's bedroom and strode in.

"Cousin Qiu Rui lingers on the sickbed and still doesn't forget to think about others, is the identity of the criminal department Shangshu really so good?!"

Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong were talking well when they were interrupted by Xiao Mingrui's movement, she looked up in astonishment, and saw the other party striding towards him with a heavy face like water.

"What?"

Bai Qiurui looked at Xiao Mingrui with a puzzled expression, not understanding what the other party was doing at the moment, and what the previous confused words meant.

"Heh, cousin Qiurui, you really concealed everything from me, even if you are now exposed by me, do you still want to pretend!"

Xiao Mingrui spoke sharply, his words full of contempt and ridicule.

Bai Qiurui didn't have time to ask what was going on, but she saw Sui Hong beside her who couldn't stand it, she had always been sassy and neat, where could Xiao Mingrui break into the door and go crazy for no reason.

At that moment, Sui Hong Huo Ran got up and looked at Xiao Mingrui with a cold face: "This son, you should be more respectful when you speak!" ”

At this time, Xiao Mingrui was even more angry. As soon as Sui Hong spoke, he remembered that the other party was entrusted by the criminal department secretary to visit Bai Qiurui, and he became more and more angry.

"Aren't you also sent by the Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department, what qualifications do you have to talk about me here!"

Xiao Mingrui watched Sui Hong finish speaking hatefully, and then moved his gaze to Bai Qiurui.

"If someone hadn't told me that I would have been kept in the dark by you, cousin Qiurui, my cousin would have been a good means."

Bai Qiurui looked at the other party's yin and yang weird words, and frowned endlessly: "Cousin Mingrui, you can say anything directly, you don't have to beat around the bush, I don't understand." ”

These words made Xiao Mingrui laugh angrily, it's all at this time, this woman is still pretending, does she think she can still deceive herself?!

"Okay, you're still lying to me now, then I'll open up."

Xiao Mingrui sneered and said, "Cousin Qiurui, I thought you were a good girl with ice and jade, but now it seems that you are no different from the fireworks in the Qinglou outside, but you are the same as worshipping high and stepping low." ”

Sui Hong couldn't stand it anymore: "Hey! How can you smear people's reputation and talk nonsense! ”

When Bai Qiurui heard such a filthy sentence, her eyes instantly turned cold.

When Xiao Mingrui saw her look, he thought that he had exposed Bai Qiurui's lies, which made her angry. He no longer cared about Sui Hong on the side, and the words in his mouth became more and more unpleasant.

"You don't look down on a powerless person like me, no matter how much I care about you, you can't see it. Why, now that you met Lord Shen, the high-ranking Shangshu of the Criminal Department, you rushed to recommend yourself to the pillow seat, right?! ”
