As soon as Wei Jinglang died, Wei Xuzhong rushed back overnight.

The Wei Mansion has changed, and Wei Xuzhong immediately ordered that even if the entire imperial city is dug three feet into the ground, the murderer must be found out!

However, the night's torrential rain washed away all the clues, leaving only a room full of blood and a horrific corpse.

Wei Xuzhong is such a son as Wei Jinglang, he responds to his needs on weekdays and indulges excessively! Even if he stabs the big basket, he has his father to bear it!

He never understood how his son could have died!

His sister is the queen of a country! He is the Marquis of An Yuan, who holds a lot of power! Looking at the entire imperial city, no one dares to oppose him! Rao is Wei Jinglang has made a big mistake, and he will not dare to act easily because of the forces behind him!

But Wei Jinglang died in the Wei Mansion!

His beloved son died in his own home! Or was he tortured and killed!

Wei Xuzhong was furious, and immediately killed several guards who were on duty that night, and escorted Ah Lian, who was in charge of sleeping that night, to the court for interrogation.

Ah Lian truthfully explained what happened that night, but she was kicked out of the room by Wei Jinglang and didn't know what happened later.

All she knew was that it was raining heavily that night, lightning and thunder, and she didn't hear anything else.

didn't get any reliable news, Wei Xuzhong was furious!

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he naturally knows what virtues Wei Jinglang has on weekdays, Wei Xuzhong guessed that he must have caused trouble outside again and provoked some masters, so he was sought revenge!

However, Wei Xuzhong couldn't understand what unforgivable things his son had committed to die so miserably!

Unable to find the murderer, Wei Xuzhong could only vent his anger on innocent people, and he ordered someone to beat Ah Lian, who was in charge of sleeping that night, to death, and let people throw him out of the house!

On this day, after the rain, the sky was clear, and Ling Xue had nothing to do, so she took the jade beads into the mountain to collect medicine.

Yuzhu doesn't like this physical work, the mountains are wet, the roads are rugged and difficult to walk, not to mention countless snakes, insects, rats and ants.

However, the herbs in this mountain are precious and scarce, and Ling Xue always has to go up the mountain to collect the herbs in person every season.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Yuzhu carried the basket on her back and entered the mountain with Ling Xue.

The mountains are shrouded in mist, and from a distance it looks like a fairyland.

As the two walked into the mountain forest, the scenery along the way was pleasant, the sun shined through the jagged treetops, sprinkling dappled light and shadow, Ling Xue took a deep breath and felt relaxed and happy.

Yuzhu had no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way, she was so tired that she was out of breath.

Looking at the endless mountains, Yu Zhusheng said unlovingly: "County Lord, aren't there still medicinal herbs in the mansion?" Why is it going to be picked again? ”

Ling Xue said: "Of course it's not enough, in a few days, my brother and Jun Heng will go on an expedition to Saibei, which is barren and herbs are scarce, so I need to prepare some medicinal materials in case of emergency." ”

Yuzhu said: "These military doctors who are accompanied by themselves, why should the county lord worry. ”

Ling Xue looked down for the precious medicinal herbs hidden in the grass, and said to Yuzhu in the same tone as usual: "Of course you have to worry about it, I will also go with you this time." ”

Yuzhu only thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "What did the county lord just say?" ”

Ling Xue said: "I said, I will also go with this expedition!" ”

This time, Yuzhu heard it clearly, and said with a shocked face: "How can this make the county lord noble, how can he follow the man to show up, if the prince and the princess know, they will definitely not agree." ”

Ling Xue casually threw a herb into the back basket on Yuzhu's back and said, "It's very simple, it's good if you don't let my father and mother know." ”

Yuzhu Road; "The prince won't agree to it! The county lord, Saibei is so poor, why can't the county lord think about it, he wants to go to that place to suffer! Isn't it good to stay in the house every day and embroider? ”

Ling Xue glanced at Yuzhu and said, "I don't want to embroider, my brother and Jun Heng have been gone for more than half a year, and I stay alone in the house either embroidering or playing the piano, and I will go with me this time." ”

Yuzhu said: "Feasible soldiers to fight have been a man's business since ancient times, how can there be a reason for women to march." "Look at Shula

Ling Xue said: "What's the big deal! The big husband is not informal, why can't the woman? ”

Yuzhu said: "If the county lord really wants to follow, it depends on whether the prince agrees." ”

Ling Xue hooked her lips: "I don't need his consent, I have my own way." ”

Yuzhu asked curiously, "What's the solution?" ”

As soon as the words fell, her center of gravity suddenly became unstable, and the whole person threw herself head-on to the ground, and accidentally fell into the mud.

Seeing this, Ling Xue couldn't help but smile: "There is a lot of rain in the mountains, you should be careful." ”

Yuzhu got up from the ground in embarrassment and said aggrievedly: "The slave and maid have been very careful, but something tripped the slave and maid." ”

After saying that, Yuzhu turned around in confusion, lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, and immediately lost her soul.

"Mom, there's a dead man."

Hearing this, Ling Xue hurriedly put down the things in her hand, stepped forward to take a look, and saw a bloody little girl lying on the ground.

The little girl was covered in blood, her back was beaten to a bloody blur, her little face was pale, she did not know the truth, she lay motionless on the ground, and she looked as if she was dead.

This place is overgrown with weeds, if it weren't for Yuzhu accidentally tripping, no one would have found it, and when it was dark, the wild beasts in the mountains were infested, and she wouldn't even have a complete corpse left.

Yuzhu had already been frightened out of her soul, but Ling Xue was surprisingly calm. Look at the book

She threw the herbs in her hand into the basket, crouched down, and reached out to probe the little girl's snort, and found that she still had a trace of breath.

"Alive!" Ling Xue quickly took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, opened the cap, and poured a white pill out of the porcelain bottle.

She broke the little girl's closed lips and fed the pill into the little girl's mouth.

The little girl couldn't swallow it, so Ling Xue asked Yuzhu to open the kettle again and gave her a mouthful of water, and then swallowed the pill.

With the existing medicinal herbs, Ling Xue smashed the herbs, cut the placket on the little girl's back with a knife, and applied the herbs to the little girl's back little by little.

Yuzhu looked at the deep scars on her back, and couldn't help but gasp.

"How could she be beaten like this?"

Ling Xue looked at what she was wearing, it looked like a maid's dress.

Ling Xue guessed: "I don't know, maybe it's the maid who made a mistake." ”

Hearing this, Yuzhu, who is also a maid, couldn't help but feel sympathy for this.

She said: "County Lord, she looks so pitiful, otherwise, let's take her back to the house." ”

Ling Xue was worried, after all, she was a maid of unknown origin, and she didn't know what this person had committed to be severely punished.

If this person is of bad character, it is not easy to take her back to the house rashly.

But if she is ignored and left to fend for herself, she can't bear it.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Xue still said, "Then you carry her down, and wait for her to wake up." ”

Yuzhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately picked up the person and said, "County Lord, let's go back to the house, the slave and maid seem to be dying when she looks at her." ”

Ling Xue didn't care about collecting medicine, she put the basket on her back and said, "Go home." ”
