Chapter 218: Borrowing a knife to kill
Following.
It was already early hours for Lin Shuang'er to wake up.
As soon as she opened the conversation last night, Lin Shuang'er was like pouring beans, and she couldn't stop.
She has always been unable to hide things, and she explained all the trivial things to Ye Beicheng, and later talked about where and when she fell asleep, Lin Shuang'er was completely unimpressed.
On the second day, Lin Shuang'er slept past the hour as expected.
The rain stopped overnight, the autumn weather was very cool, the sun fell on Lin Shuang'er's face through the window lattice, and her white and tender cheeks faintly revealed a touch of pink, like a full and juicy peach, which made people look at it and couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Lin Shuang'er trembled her eyelashes, opened her eyes, and suddenly crashed into Ye Beicheng's deep eyes.
"Awake?" Beside him, Ye Beicheng had already finished washing, and even his clothes had been put on, and seeing that Lin Shuang'er hadn't woken up, he didn't bother her.
Xu is Lin Shuang'er is too good to sleep, he and his clothes lie on the bed again, and he doesn't know how long he looked at her with his head on the pillow with one hand.
Lin Shuang'er rubbed her worried eyes, and her voice was as soft as a puddle of spring water: "Husband, why don't you call me?" ”
She obviously hadn't slept enough, covered her mouth and yawned a few times, looking lazily like a little milk cat, cute and soft, Ye Beicheng couldn't help but want to knead it a few times.
"It's okay, if you want to sleep, sleep more, and we'll go when we've slept enough." Ye Beicheng also knew that he had pestered her for too long last night, and this little guy was weak, and he would definitely not be able to eat after a while.
But Lin Shuang'er didn't want to sleep anymore, she got up and put on her clothes, and said to Yebei: "Husband, let's hurry up, we don't live in this black shop, and ten taels of silver are too expensive!" ”
Yebei said: "Shuang'er, your husband won't be so down, you can still afford ten taels of silver." ”
Lin Shuang'er retorted: "If you can afford it, you can't give it, my aunt said that money should be used on the blade, not for spending it like this." ”
Seeing her puffing out, the corners of her lips hooked, and said, "Okay, listen to Shuang'er." ”
Downstairs, the shopkeeper has been waiting for a long time.
Lin Shuang'er thought that the black-hearted shopkeeper still wanted to blackmail her again, so she said, "Shopkeeper, we don't live anymore, let's leave now." ”
Ye Beicheng followed behind Lin Shuang'er, his expression was indifferent throughout the whole process, and he didn't have that murderous aura on his body, and he looked like a gentle and jade-like boy.
The shopkeeper quietly glanced at Ye Beicheng, and his eyes were so immortal that he met Ye Beicheng's eyes, which instantly reminded him of the picture when this person killed people last night, it was really the same as slaughtering a chicken!
There was no emotion in Ye Beicheng's deep eyes, but it made the shopkeeper feel a chill crawling up his spine, which made his scalp numb and cold sweat all over his body.
"Girl, please stay." The shopkeeper hurriedly spoke.
Lin Shuang'er paused, and said unhappily: "We have already checked out, do you still want to blackmail us?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, the girl misunderstood, our store just changed the price this morning, and the hotel will be two taels of silver, this is the change you found, you received." ”
Lin Shuang'er was stunned, a little unable to come back to her senses, as if she didn't expect that the silver she ate would come back?
But she was not polite, the money was her husband's, so she generously put the broken silver into her pocket.
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and said to Lin Shuang'er: "Last night, it was the villain who didn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and I hope the girl should not take it to heart." ”
Lin Shuang'er heard it inexplicably, and when she saw him trembling, as if she was greatly frightened, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Shopkeeper, what are you afraid of?" I'm not going to do anything to you. ”
Lin Shuang'er was born harmless to humans and animals, and the shopkeeper was naturally not afraid of her, but he was afraid of the Buddha standing behind her!
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't want to say more, Lin Shuang'er didn't want to ask, but with sharp eyes, she still found the blood stains left in the door frame.
Although it has been deliberately cleaned, if you look closely, you can still see some of it.
Lin Shuang'er said in shock: "Shopkeeper, there are blood stains on the door frame?" Did something happen last night? ”
She said she heard something unusual last night!
The shopkeeper trembled, and looked at Ye Beicheng faintly, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Ye Beicheng said calmly: "Could it be that the shopkeeper accidentally knocked it, right?" ”
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was shocked, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Although Ye Beicheng's voice is flat, people can't distinguish between joy and anger, but the shopkeeper doesn't know how to blame him for not dealing with this place.
"Isn't it?" Ye Beicheng said lightly, and his cold eyes looked at the shopkeeper meaningfully.
The shopkeeper's scalp was numb for a while, so he simply didn't do anything, secretly poked his fingers, held them up in front of Lin Shuang'er, and said, "Girl, it was the villain's hand that was accidentally cut, which scared the girl, I'm really embarrassed." ”
Seeing this, Lin Shuang'er dispelled her doubts and comforted: "Be careful with the shopkeeper, it's not good if the wound is infected." ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, hoping to send the two Buddhas away quickly.
Leaving Wutuo Town, the two returned to the imperial city the same way.
After a few days of turbulence, Lin Shuang'er was already exhausted and had little to eat, and she snuggled in Ye Beicheng's arms all the way, drowsy.
The carriage stopped, Xuanwu lifted the sedan curtain, and Yebei got out of the carriage with Lin Shuang'er in his arms.
Presumably she was extremely tired, and Lin Shuang'er didn't wake up when the carriage arrived at the Hou Mansion, and Ye Beicheng didn't wake her up, and directly carried her back to Yunxuan's room.
Dongmei stood outside the door, saw Ye Beicheng come out, and asked in a low voice: "Lord, is she okay with the princess?" ”
Lin Shuang'er was born frail, and she must have suffered a lot of hardships all the way.
Ye Beicheng instructed Dongmei to boil a little light lean porridge for Lin Shuang'er, and wait for her to wake up before eating.
Dongmei responded, turned around and went to the kitchen.
Ye Beicheng turned around and went to the study, Xuanwu pushed the door in, and reported: "Lord Wang, Qi Ming has become more and more perverse in the past few days, and he has moved a lot of interests of the eldest prince, and he has borrowed the name of the prince. I don't know, I thought that the prince deliberately went against the eldest prince! ”
Ye Beicheng stood in front of the window, squinting slightly: "No wonder, the eldest prince can't wait to kill this king." ”
Xuanwu was shocked: "On this trip, did the prince encounter an assassin?" ”
Ye Beicheng nodded lightly.
Xuanwu said angrily: "Qi Ming, this person is really soft and hard!" The prince shouldn't have let him go in the first place! His behavior is clearly to completely eradicate the prince by the hand of the eldest prince! Isn't he afraid that those killers will kill the princess together? ”
"Xuanwu!" Ye Beicheng glanced at him coldly.
Xuanwu lowered his head and said, "It's a subordinate gaffe." ”
Yebei admitted: "Don't let the princess know about this matter, as for Qi Ming......" His eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
