Chapter 24: Intuition without evidence
Shao Yisong immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, when we go out, Gu will find the best doctor in the world and heal your face." ”
She didn't speak, she picked up the stream and scrubbed her face clean, there was no blood and mud left by the wound, the scar on Zhiqing's face looked even more hideous and terrifying, compared with the other half of the intact face, her face at this time was like the tattoo on her own back, half beautiful and half rakshasa.
The slender white hand stroked the shocking scar on her face, Zhi Qingxun opened her mouth, and there was a little blood on the wound on her face, and she said lightly: "It's okay, it's just an injury, it's not important." ”
"Doesn't it matter?"
Shao Yisong couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or a lie.
He remembered that when he was in the palace, Bai Yuning was swinging in the back garden, the rope was broken, her face was injured, just scratched a layer of skin, she was worried about eating all day long, and cried in front of the queen mother for several days, and the queen told him that appearance is more important than a woman's life, so she was so worried.
But now that I see the turbidity's reaction, it doesn't seem to be the case, or is she duplicitous?
Zhi Qingxun looked at his expression, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "Is the king worried about my face, or is he worried that there is no one in the world who is similar to the face of the pure concubine?" ”
Shao Yisong was a little aggrieved when he said this, and he reiterated it again, "The lonely king swears that the lonely king has never confused the girl with Huanrou, otherwise it will ......"
"The Ninety-Five Respect is cautious in his words and deeds, how can he swear a disagreement ...... words"
Zhi Qingxun interrupted him, and besides, Youran once said that a man's oath is no different from a dog's barking, and a fool will believe it.
Although the girl usually speaks strangely, she agrees with this sentence.
"Since the king did not confuse me with the pure concubine, he should know that the lord of the ghost city does not need to rely on his face to win the favor of men, whether this scar is there or not, it has little impact on this monarch, so it is not important, the important thing is ......"
She looked at Shao Yisong and smiled slightly, "We survived." ”
The Zhiqing turbidity in Shao Yisong's eyes has always been bright and delicate, and when he speaks, he is either domineering or charming.
Now she walked from the brink of death, her face was not stained with any fat powder, the whole person was gentle and elegant, without the slightest strength before, Fang Cai's smile was so gentle, even the hideous scar on her face could not hide her gentleness.
Shao Yisong couldn't help but keep his eyes on her face, as if something in his heart was gradually sprouting and blooming......
"Turbid Girl......"
He took two steps forward and sat opposite Zhiqingxun, his eyes serious and deep, "Can you tell me your original name?" I think...... Re-acquainting with you has nothing to do with our identity, nothing to do with your face, only about you and me, and I want to get to know you again. ”
Looking at Shao Yisong's firm and panicked appearance, she pondered for a moment and said, "Fang hated fate...... This is my original name. ”
"Hate fate...... Hate ......," he habitually frowned, "your sister's name is very special. ”
"What's so special, it's just a stupid woman who complains after being deceived by a man."
Zhiqing's eyes darkened, Shao Yisong guessed that he had caused her to remind her of bad memories, and just wanted to change the topic, when suddenly her stomach let out a long sound of "gurgling ————"
The two looked at each other, and after being silent, they both smiled suddenly, and then Shao Yisong got up a little embarrassed and walked towards the stream, "I'll catch a fish, wait for me!" ”
If it weren't for this assassination, Zhi Qingyun might never have seen the scene of the dignified emperor holding his trouser legs and catching fish in the water.
Fortunately, Shao Yisong was agile, and after a while, he caught a grass carp and came up, which seemed to weigh two or three catties.
He cleaned the fish with the dagger he had with him, and then drilled wood to make a fire and lit a fire, there were no materials such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, so the taste was naturally not much better, but the two of them had barely eaten since the night before, and now it was good that they could eat enough.
Shao Yisong is very good at taking care of people, he carefully picks out the fish bones one by one, and feeds the delicate fish meat to Zhiqing's mouth, just like when she was Ji Huanrou, so is Shao Yisong, as long as it is related to her, he will try his best to do it himself.
"Thank you." She bowed her head slightly and opened her mouth to accept Shao Yisong's kindness.
Suddenly, Shao Yisong suddenly felt that all this didn't seem to be so bad.
"Does the king know who wants to kill you?" Zhiqing's topic changed and suddenly asked.
He didn't care, "There are many people who want to kill the Lone King, but they can hear the army continue to advance towards the border, and there are not many of us who stay where we are, and even fewer people know that the Lone King was poisoned by the snake that night." ”
Shao Yisong's tone was soft, but the wooden chopsticks in his hand that were cut from branches were broken with a "click".
He smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his cold and sharp tone made people goosebumps, "He really doesn't care about his baby daughter at all." ”
"General Zhenguo?" Zhiqing guessed.
Indeed, since the last incident of General Li, General Zhenguo was secretly demoted by Ming Sheng, and this incident happened again in a short period of time, it is difficult not to suspect it, but ......
"Look at the skills of those assassins, like the number of people in the rivers and lakes, if the king wants to find evidence, he might as well go and check the sad building."
"Ask the Sorrow Building......" Shao Yisong groaned slightly, "Isn't your escort from the Sorrowful Building?" ”
"Yes." Zhiqingyun admitted calmly, "But I can guarantee that the dumb slave will not have anything to do with this matter." ”
"Why are you so sure?" Shao Yisong was puzzled, and at the same time, there was sourness in his tone.
"There is no doubt about employing people, the dumb slave has followed me for many years, and he has always been loyal, besides, if he is the insider, and I trust him deeply, and chooses to kill you and me directly, it will have a greater success rate than making such a big formation."
Zhiqing analyzed it slowly and methodically, and laid everything out in front of Shao Yisong's eyes.
"In fact, two years ago, I wanted to directly eradicate Wenbeilou, but it was too deep-rooted, and I had no choice but to buy the deed of sale of the dumb slave at a large price, and he had no reason to be involved with Wenbeilou again.
Since someone has assassinated the king now, whether that person is a general of Zhenguo or not, the eyeliner sent by the mastermind behind the scenes must be very familiar with us, if this assassination is successful, it is an ambition for them to achieve, if the assassination is not successful, it will make us suspect the dumb slave from Wenbeilou and reduce our strength, so, the powerful Wenbeilou is undoubtedly their best choice. ”
Shao Yisong thought about it carefully, and he really couldn't find any gaps, asking Beilou is a powerful sect of rivers and lakes, only taking money to do things, it is impossible to submit to the imperial court, whether these killers are sent by Beilou or not, this organization can no longer stay, if you start to check from here, it is indeed a good choice.
He had a certain mind, just wait until he got back and send the secret guard to investigate.
As he thought, a drop of rain fell on the tip of his nose, then on his forehead and shoulder.
The sunny sky suddenly became gloomy, as if it was about to be pressed down, and the leaves above the head were blown by the sudden wind, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.
Shao Yisong picked up Zhiqingyun and wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain, but as soon as they walked a few steps, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and the heavy rain fell sharply, drenching them through.
Fortunately, they were lucky, Shao Yisong followed the direction they were leaving, and found a small cave not far away, but just enough for them to stay.
At this time, their clothes were already soaked in the rain, and Shao Yisong was worried that she would get cold from wearing wet clothes, so he collected some branches and leaves in the cave and made a fire.
Shao Yisong built a simple drying rack with tree branches and hung his clothes above the fire, which was convenient for drying clothes and ...... Avoid arousing suspicion.
Although they already have skin to skin, but that time Shao Yisong was drugged, and he was confused for a while, so he ...... If he is so rude now, I am afraid that even he will not be able to forgive himself.
The burning fire brought some warmth to the two of them, and the flames reflected the delicate shadow of Zhiqing's turbidity on the clothes above, Shao Yisong looked away with a red face, "If the girl is tired, just rest well, this rain should not stop for a while." ”
"Hmm."
Knowing that Qingqing responded, she knew that she couldn't sleep at all, this was her habit all along, once there was the sound of lightning and thunder outside, she couldn't help but think of the night when she died of hatred.
Her eyes were closed, and her curled up body was trembling slightly.
After a long time, Shao Yisong's voice came from behind the curtain, "The girl doesn't like rainy days either?" ”
"The ghost market is built underground, it never rains, I just ...... I'm not used to it. ”
"Yes...... Is it? Shao Yisong hesitated, as if he was suspecting something.
Huanrou is also very disgusted with rainy days, she hides in the palace when it rains, sometimes for several days, except to ask the queen mother and queen to say goodbye, she will not step out of the palace half a step, and as long as it rains, she does not even sleep, the palace must be lit up all night, she can take a nap.
And the same is true of the knowledge of turbidity......
The excuse she gave just now was really too lame, the ghost city was indeed built underground, but she knew that Qingxun didn't grow up from a ghost, how could there be a "not used to" in just a few years.
Why did she lie to him?
Shao Yisong tried not to let himself think wildly, but there were too many similarities between them, and ...... I don't know if it was his delusion, but when he fainted from his serious injuries, he seemed to hear the song that he often hummed......
The idea of finally being suppressed by reason once again spread wildly in Shao Yisong's heart, but he didn't ask any more, but hummed the ballad that Huanrou often sang.
"The stars are shining and the moon is shaking, the sleeping girl is smiling, the wind is blowing the willows, and the sleeping girl is sleeping fragrantly......"
Through the shadow reflected in the firelight, Shao Yisong was obviously stunned when he saw Zhiqing Xunfang's slightly trembling body, and then turned around and leaned slightly in his direction, and his curled body also relaxed.
It was just a small movement, but Shao Yisong's pupils suddenly shrank, and his brain seemed to explode.
Until this time, he still had no direct evidence to prove that Zhiqingturity was joy, but the subconscious reaction of his body could not deceive people.
The same appearance, the same small action of loving the jade bracelet, the same dislike of rainy days, the same reassuring reaction to this ballad, and even the tattoo on Zhiqing's back, as if trying to hide something......
If there are only one or two similarities, it can be explained by coincidence, and if there are similarities everywhere, then it is undoubtedly a fact.
Until now, he was almost certain that he knew the turbidity...... It's Ji Huanrou!
