Chapter 142: Assassination
"Gu Chengxuan, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Yan Huai's voice, Yu Jinxi thought for a moment, and then said, "When this matter is over, I will send him to where he should go." ”
Thinking of what Gu Qiheng and Liu Ruyan had done to her in her previous life, Yu Jinxi's heart swelled with anger, she was not a good person, she was just blinded and imprisoned in feudal etiquette before.
Since she has lived a lifetime again, she will never be relentless.
Whether it is Liu Ruyan or Gu Chengxuan, she promised to let them live, but she didn't say that they would live comfortably.
She said that she would make them unable to survive and die.
"Lord Qi sued Gu Qiheng, and the previous matter of buying and selling officials was also pulled out, and no one can protect Gu Qiheng this time."
Yan Huai spoke again, and said with an indifferent expression, "In less than three days, the holy decree to deal with him will come down." ”
Yu Jinxi asked, "What about those witnesses?" ”
"The second prince used a little trick, but with Lord Qi staring, he didn't dare to make a dead move."
Yan Huai's tone was indifferent, he had already said that everything in the court had been arranged, and if the second prince wanted to do something, he would only fall into his trap.
Yu Jinxi is also waiting, waiting for the emperor to dispose of Gu Qiheng.
waited for the emperor to slap himself in the mouth and personally decree that she should leave.
After eating, Yan Huai sat in Yu Jinxi's room for a while, then got up to leave, and solemnly asked before leaving, "Sleep well, I have something else to do." Uncle is about to enter Beijing, and his body is broken, and my uncle will feel distressed when he sees it! ”
Yu Jinxi nodded heavily, indicating that he understood.
Although having said that, Yu Jinxi wanted to say that she had slept all day during the day, how could she sleep at this time?
She wanted to sleep, but she couldn't help herself.
But since she agreed to the banquet, she couldn't break her promise, so she simply let Qingti go to rest, blew out the lamp and went to lie on the bed.
In the darkness of the night, her eyes were as wide as brass bells, and she counted two sheep until she counted a hundred sheep and could not sleep.
Yu Jinxi resigned herself to her fate, she couldn't sleep, she really didn't want to force herself.
She fumbled to get out of bed and was about to light the lamp when she suddenly smelled a strange smell.
Yu Jinxi sniffed, and suddenly found that the smell was very special, not like anything in her room.
Then, there was a thud, as if something had shot into the door frame.
Then, a flash of light ignited instantly, and the fire rose at once.
Yu Jinxi's face changed drastically, and he hurried out.
As soon as the door opened, a knife with a cold light stabbed in.
Yu Jinxi dodged by instinct, but accidentally tripped over the stool, and the whole person fell on his back.
Only this time, she didn't get hit on her head, but her knee hurt so much that she didn't dare to scream in pain, so she hid when she got up.
At this time, the person with the sword also rushed in and slashed towards Yu Jinxi.
Yu Jinxi was forced into a corner, she couldn't hide, and the knife she saw stabbed at her.
However, the sword suddenly stopped when it was within striking distance of him.
There was a muffled "bang", and the man with the long sword fell to the ground from her side.
Yu Jinxi's heart jumped heavily, his body instantly lost strength, and he squatted on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
Qingti was originally staying in the kitchen, and when she heard the movement, she rushed here, but when she came, there was already someone in the house.
Mother Zhang and Mama Qian, who followed immediately, hurriedly extinguished the fire, and after a while, the fire was extinguished, and the candlelight in the house was all lit, and the lights were bright, without any dead ends.
"Miss, are you alright?" Qing Ti saw Yu Jinxi squatting in the corner of the wall and immediately walked over.
Yu Jinxi shook her head, saying that she was fine, but her pale and colorless face betrayed her.
Qingti was very distressed, and she blamed herself more and more.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have left, I should have been guarding Miss."
Qingti's eyes were red, and she said with guilt.
"Don't cry, it's none of your business."
Yu Jinxi comforted softly, raised his hand, and asked Qing Ti to help him up.
At this time, the dead man who fell beside her had been dragged outside, but the room was covered with blood, and the smell of blood filled the tip of the nose, making people feel sick and want to vomit.
Yu Jinxi suppressed the feeling of nausea and looked out the door.
She didn't know the man who killed the man in black, so she blessed her body slightly, and said softly, "The grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, if there is anything that needs help in the future, please feel free to speak, I will do my best." ”
Hearing this, the man immediately said, "Miss Yu doesn't have to be so polite, it was the county king who sent me to protect Miss Yu's safety." Fang Cai failed to stop the assassin in time, which disturbed the eldest lady, please forgive the young lady! ”
Although he said so, Yu Jinxi didn't care.
She asked, "What about Master Yan?" ”
The man said, "Someone shot an arrow just now, and Master Yan went to chase it." I didn't follow when I realized that something was wrong, and it was really a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”
Qingti listened with trepidation, all this happened too fast, making people unprepared.
If this person also went after the assassin who shot arrows, then the young lady was really unpredictable at this time.
The man asked, "Miss, what should this assassin do?" ”
Yu Jinxi glanced at it lightly, endured the disgusting smell of blood, and said in a deep voice, "Let it go, after dawn, I will be useful!" ”
After a while, Master Yan also returned, but he did not catch the assassin.
Seeing the situation in the house, Master Yan instantly understood that he had been tricked.
He pleaded guilty to Yu Jinxi, but Yu Jinxi did not blame him, but reminded him to take caution.
Master Yan felt guilty, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never be so reckless in the future.
Before dawn, Yan Huai, who had already left, turned back, and at this time the blood stains in the house had been cleaned up, if it weren't for a corpse in the courtyard, there were still burn marks outside the house, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as Yan Huai came, he grabbed Yu Jinxi and looked up and down, and asked nervously, "Did you hurt anything?" ”
Yu Jinxi didn't hide it from him, "I fell and hit my leg." ”
Yan Huai immediately picked up the person horizontally and put him on the bed.
Yu Jinxi saw that he was going to pick up her clothes again, and hurriedly said, "Qingti has already helped me with medicine, but it is a skin injury, and it is not a big deal......
"It's not a big deal, it's a big deal?"
Yan Huai couldn't help but say, and directly pulled up her trouser legs, and what caught her eyes was a large piece of purple and blue traces.
Not only was the knee bruised, but a piece of skin was broken, and there was also a bruise above the knee.
"That's what you say, okay?"
Yan Huai's eyes were red, the muscles at her temples were bruised, and the hand that grabbed the corner of her clothes was also very hard.
Seeing this, Yu Jinxi immediately held his hand and said softly, "If you hadn't arranged someone, I might have died tonight, this injury is nothing." ”
In Yu Jinxi's cognition, bumping it is nothing compared to losing his life.
But Yan Huai didn't think so, and his scarlet eyes were full of murder.
