When Ling Xue woke up, it was already early the next morning.

The residual poison in her body has been completely discharged, she is sweating all over, and her close-fitting clothes are also wet with sweat.

Early in the morning, Yuzhu prepared hot water for her to take a good bath.

Ling Xue stroked her drowsy head and got up, not remembering how she came back last night.

She sat down on the couch, rubbed her swollen temples, and asked, "How did I get home yesterday?" ”

Yuzhu poured hot water into the bath bucket behind the screen, and responded: "The general/army said that you were cold, so he took you back first, and it rained heavily last night, and the heat poison in your body attacked, and the general/army guarded you for a while before leaving." ”

Ling Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Nie Junheng did take her words to heart, what happened last night was not glorious, but fortunately it was not leaked out, presumably even her brother was kept in the dark, just as she was really cold, so she came back early.

In this way, it saves unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of Nie Junheng's temperament, Ling Xue asked uneasily, "Did Junheng stay here all night last night?" ”

Yuzhu said: "Yes, I only left when I was in the middle of nowhere." ”

"Where is he now?"...

Yuzhu said: "When the slave went to fetch water, I saw that he went to the barracks early in the morning. ”

Hearing Yuzhu say this, Ling Xue didn't ask any more.

Although she was worried that Nie Junheng would do something crazy, he stayed in the mansion last night, and even if he had the heart, he couldn't do anything impulsive.

Ling Xue thought to herself, her brother had really grown up, and now she could calm down no matter how big things she encountered.

She asked Yuzhu to find her clean clothes, got up and went to the screen to take a hot bath.

After taking a shower, she went to the study.

Yesterday's incident, she didn't plan to forget it like that, she just didn't want to make too much noise in the palace! Now that Wei Jinglang has returned to the Wei Mansion, if you want to settle accounts with him, you have to think about it in the long run.

Considering the forces behind him, Ling Xue didn't dare to hide it, she planned to inform her father of the matter and let him give her advice.

Unexpectedly, before she could put pen to paper, Yuzhu hurried into the study and brought her a shocking news.

"County Lord, I heard that someone died in the Wei Mansion last night."

Ling Xue raised her head suddenly, and a drop of ink fell on the white paper, instantly blurring.

"What?"

Yuzhu said: "I heard that the eldest prince of the Wei Mansion died, and it spread all over the streets and alleys early in the morning, and the slaves and maids also heard from others." ”

Ling Xue looked surprised.

The eldest son of the Wei Mansion, isn't it Wei Jinglang?

Ling Xue said: "Wei Jinglang is dead? How did he die? ”

Yuzhu didn't know what she thought of, her face showed a look of horror, and said: "The slave maid heard that he was tortured and killed, and there was no good meat on his body, so he went to inspect it, counted the knife wounds on his body, and there were hundreds of cuts, and the muscles and bones of the whole body were broken, and the flesh and bones were separated......

Yuzhu couldn't go on, shuddered, and said: "Although the slave maid has not seen it with her own eyes, she feels terrifying just by hearing what people say, and I don't know who will do this, how ruthless the means are, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an evil ghost asking for life." ”

Ling Xue didn't care about what letters to write, she asked Yuzhu, "Has the murderer been found?" ”

Yuzhu said: "No, the murderer is haunted and has not left any traces." After a pause, Yuzhu lowered her voice and said, "The slave maid heard that Wei Jinglang was asked for his life because he had done too much evil and was intolerable by heaven......

Ling Xue didn't believe that there were any unjust souls in this world, but she believed that the mysterious person who broke into the Wei Mansion at night must be a world-famous martial artist and witty.

Somehow, the first thing she thought of was Nie Junheng.

"Did Jun Heng go out last night?"

Yuzhu shook her head and said: "No, last night, the slave and maid still saw the light in his house, and early this morning, the slave and maid saw him come out of the room again, how could he go out in the middle of the night." ”

Hearing this, Ling Xue fell into self-doubt again.

If it weren't for Nie Junheng, who would have killed Wei Jinglang?

Who will have this ability to go through the sky, come and go without a trace, and can quietly chase down the Wei Mansion and torture and kill people?

The most important thing is that Wei Jinglang's death is too coincidental!

Ling Xue was puzzled, she planned to test Nie Junheng in person.

At noon, Nie Junheng came back from the barracks.

Ling Xue ordered someone to prepare lunch.

Nie Junheng sat down at the dinner table as usual, Ling Xue served him a bowl of soup, and then sat down as well.

"I heard that Wei Jinglang is dead." Lingxue Road.

Nie Junheng said in a flat tone: "I heard." ”

Ling Xue looked at his expression for a moment, but he didn't notice anything unusual, he didn't even have a trace of fluctuation when he heard the news, as if he had just heard something very ordinary.

Ling Xue said again: "I heard that he was tortured and killed, and there are hundreds of cuts on his body. ”

Nie Junheng took a sip of the soup in the bowl and felt that it tasted good, so he also filled a bowl in Ling Xue's bowl and said, "He has done a lot of evil, he must have offended the master and was sought revenge." ”

This is a reasonable statement.

Ling Xue looked at him suspiciously and said, "It's really not you?" ”

Nie Junheng put the soup in front of Ling Xue, and put her bowl with her favorite dishes on weekdays, and said with a smile: "What stupid thing is Auntie talking about?" How could it be me? ”

Ling Xue expressed her doubts in her heart, and she said, "But this happened too coincidentally, didn't you sneak into someone's house in the middle of the night and kill someone?" ”.

Nie Junheng said: "How come? How can I have such skills, the Wei Mansion is heavily guarded, don't say it's me, even a fly can't fly in. ”

"Besides, didn't my sister teach me not to act impulsively?" He raised his eyes to look at her, hooked his lips and smiled: "Sister's words, I have always taken them to heart. ”

Ling Xue said, "Who could it be?" ”

Nie Junheng pondered for a moment and said, "Presumably, as the world says, it is a powerful ghost asking for his life, after all, he has done a lot of evil, and sooner or later he will die." ”

After speaking, he took another bowl of rice, and he said, "Today's meal is very appetizing, and my sister should eat more." ”

Ling Xue didn't bother to think about it, she said, "It's okay to die, but I won't write to my father." ”

As soon as Wei Jinglang died, Xu Ruoyao began to have nightmares every night, almost sleepless, as long as she closed her eyes, she always felt that someone was coming to ask for her life.

But for three days in a row, she was fine.

However, she didn't dare to relax her vigilance, she always felt that she was stared at by a pair of eyes, as long as she dared to step out of the door for half a step, she would end up with Wei Jinglang.

Cuizhu comforted: "Miss, don't be afraid, Gongzi Wei must be seeking revenge from the enemy, and this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

Xu Ruoyao shuddered in the corner and said, "No, Wei Jinglang must have been killed by Nie Junheng!" Before he died, he must have confessed me too! ”

"The next one is me, and the next one must be me!"

"He's going to kill me, he's going to kill me!"
