When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 87
The night was long and dark, and the invisible wind swayed the oil lamp gently.

"I'm not some kind of princess." The man said with a strange accent, "You're mistaken."

"Then you are sent by the princess?" Zhao Shangshu continued to interrogate him without any embarrassment, "Then trouble you to go back and see the princess..."

"What kind of concubine is not a concubine? I'm a gentleman on the beam. I don't know what concubine you are talking about." The man sighed, "I thought I could steal a lot of goods when I came in, but I didn't expect to end up here. Forget it, at worst, go on. Jingzhaofu is squatting..."

Zhao Shangshu frowned, took two steps forward, and pulled off the mask of the man in black.

Under the mask was a rough, unfamiliar man's face.

"Aren't you...Cheng Muqing, and you're not the one she brought?" Zhao Shangshu almost frowned, he deliberately unified the whole house's caliber, and lured the other party into a closer investigation... Unexpectedly, he was found out?He snorted coldly, "Cheng Muqing, I can't underestimate you..."

The man shrank his neck, "Can you stop looking at me like that? It's creepy..."

"Do you want to enter Jingzhao Mansion, or do you want money?" Zhao Shangshu took his purse from his waist.

The purse shook twice with his movements, and the broken pieces of silver inside collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.

The man stared at the purse, eyes full of longing.

the other side--

"Ah-choo—" Cheng Muqing covered his nose and sneezed softly.

I don't know what happened to the Zhao Mansion, but today she hired someone to disclose the news that "there is a small road behind the ancestral hall of the Zhao Mansion" to the nearby pickpockets.

Not surprisingly, there should be pickpockets operating in the past few days to steal something.She has arranged for her own people to monitor near the Zhao residence.Once the thief escapes unharmed, her men will arrest him.

She wasn't sure if the Zhao family had set up any traps, so she had no choice but to find an "unrelated" thief to scout the way.

Anyway, regardless of whether the trap is set or not, the thief will be caught, and it will not affect the Zhao family.

The black jacket she was wearing was lined with mink, but it was still very cold on this March night.

Cheng Muqing jumped down from the tree, looked left and right, saw no one around, and then continued to move.

"Why do you take so much money?"

"I stole it risking my life! You just put a whistle, and you want to get more?"

She heard a loud noise not far away, and she tiptoed and ran in that direction.

When she arrived at the place, she saw two plainly dressed servants arguing fiercely.

Cheng Muqing picked up a small stone from the ground, narrowed one eye slightly, aimed, and fired!
One of the boys fell to the ground.

"Oh? What are you doing!" Another servant took a step back in fright, "Do you think I'll give you more points if you pretend to be dizzy?"

After a while, the other party did not respond.

The little servant was afraid that he would rely on him, so he turned around and wanted to run, but within two steps, he felt a pain in his calf and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

He propped himself up, and just as he got up, there was a chill on the back of his neck, and someone pinched his neck behind him.

His face turned pale immediately, "Who!"

"Shh, I won't hurt your life." The woman's voice was clear, "I just ask you some questions."

"Please...please say..."

"What is the origin of Siju in the house?"

"Yes... yes..." The boy trembled, feeling his mind go blank for a moment, "It's the maid bought by the housekeeper..."

"How's her temperament?"

"Very good..." The boy swallowed, "What is your relationship with her? Why do you ask her..."

"Did she go on the day of the prince's wedding?" Cheng Muqing asked without answering.

The boy pondered for a while, "I don't know..." After feeling that the dagger on his neck was a little cold, he quickly changed his words, "Go, go! The eldest girl took it specially!"

"Is she Miss Liang's personal maid?"

"Yes..." the boy said, "At first he was just a handyman, but later he was appreciated by the girl, so he was transferred to be a personal maid."

"Do you know her background?"

"I don't know..." The boy shook his head, how could he know about Siju's life experience?
"Which house does she live in?"

The boy immediately pointed in a direction, "It should be in the courtyard of the eldest girl..."

"I don't want to hurt you. Now you hide the money and pretend to be dizzy." Cheng Muqing said, "After your companion woke up, he said that a black shadow flashed by, and you fainted after being photographed, and the money disappeared."

Is she helping herself?

As if seeing what he was thinking, Cheng Muqing smiled and said, "Win-win, do you agree?"

People are selfish, the servant didn't think for long, then nodded sullenly.

Cheng Muqing let go of him, and asked again, "Isn't Liang's residence not quite peaceful recently?"

"Hmm..." The boy nodded, "The master is gone, and the eldest girl is not in charge of the house, so it's a mess..."

"Okay." Cheng Muqing said to stop.

The little servant fell to the ground without making a sound, as if he was really knocked out by someone.

Cheng Muqing ran in the direction pointed by the boy. As the boy said, the Liang family really doesn't look like a big family nowadays.The slaves are lazy, slack, and do not keep their duties. The yard is dark and empty, without even a light.

Once Liang Shangshu died, would the family fall apart?Cheng Muqing frowned slightly. As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff, so it shouldn't cause the current situation, right?

When she couldn't figure it out, she had already jumped through the window and jumped into the ear room where Siju was.

There were other maids in the ear room, Cheng Muqing was quick and knocked out several of them, leaving only one.

The maid wanted to run out of the room, but was caught by Cheng Muqing when she didn't want to.She shrank in the corner, not daring to call for help, fearing that the other party would kill her.

"Is this Juju's room?" Cheng Muqing asked in a low voice.

"Yes……"

"Where does Siju live? Where do all her things go?"

"Live here..." The maid tremblingly raised her hand and pointed in a direction, "That's right..."

"Stand quietly, don't move." Cheng Muqing let go of her, "Otherwise, my dagger won't have eyes."

The maid silently faced the wall.

Cheng Muqing rummaged through the cabinet and the bed twice, but found nothing suspicious, she turned to the maid and asked, "Do you think there is anything strange about Biju?"

"She... she just... looks one way in front of the eldest girl." The maid said, "One kind appearance, but in front of us, another appearance...very annoying."

"What other look?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"It's just annoying." Speaking of this, the maid showed an angry expression, "It's cold, like everyone owes her money..."

Contradictory appearances... Cheng Muqing's heart thumped, and he tidied up his things and returned them to their original positions.

"Little girl, don't say that I have been here." Cheng Muqing pushed open the window, "Otherwise, given the situation in Liang's residence, I can come to you anytime~"

The maid swallowed her saliva and nodded silently.

Cheng Muqing was very good at hiding herself. She hid in the darkness and hurried all the way to the Liang family's ancestral hall.

Inside the ancestral hall, several bright lamps are lit, brightly lit and shadowy.

Cheng Muqing gently landed on the beam of the ancestral hall, leaned over, and listened attentively.

"Girl, why are we doing this?"

"Yes... I want everyone to pay the price... Siju, you..."

"girl."

What are you?Why was it interrupted?She just heard alas!Cheng Muqing frowned suspiciously, feeling unhappy.

The next moment, her ears moved slightly, and she heard a faint sound of footsteps.

"Who's on top!"

Oops!How was it discovered?Cheng Muqing didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly got up and went to another roof, and quickly evacuated.

"Follow me!"

It was Liang Xianrong's voice.

Cheng Muqing's lightness kung fu is very good, and she disappeared into the darkness in a short while with a ghostly body.

But after all, this is the territory of the Liang family, no matter how fast she slipped away, it would still be difficult to escape when there were people appearing from all directions.

She dodged left and right, and finally ran into an empty, overgrown yard without knowing it.

It may be that she ran so fast that she didn't notice that there was a long-abandoned well under her feet.

I saw the black shadow that was still running a moment ago, and disappeared in the next moment...

Liang Xianrong looked at the endless darkness and screamed for the boy to find someone.

&
Cheng Muqing suppressed the idea of ​​screaming, supported his feet and hands, and rubbed against the well wall to make a "Sla" sound.

After finally stopping, she leaned over slightly, and took out the torch from her bosom.

The bottom of the well was pitch black, with a strange gloomy and cold feeling.

She could hear the sound of her heart beating wildly in the dark, and she could also feel the cool air emanating from her body.

Unplug the fire folder and exhale.

Huoziezi emitted a faint light, illuminating half of her face.

She was panting slightly, with sweat dripping from her forehead.

In the light of the fire zip, there was a glimmer of light down the well.

It looks a bit muddy, is it a quagmire?Cheng Muqing gasped for breath, panting, and suddenly smelled a strong stench.

The smell was like the smell of rotten eggs added to the meat after it had been spoiled for many days.

She frowned, holding a torch and looking down.

It doesn't matter if you don't take a photo, but you will be shocked if you take a photo.

There was a dead body at the bottom of the well!
She gasped for a breath of rancid air, her fingers trembling slightly.

The corpse was half-soaked in muddy water, its hair was disheveled, and a silver hairpin was stuck crookedly on it.It may be due to the underground environment, the body is swollen and beyond recognition.

Cheng Muqing raised his head upwards, put away the fire folder, forced himself to forget what he saw just now, and rubbed upwards bit by bit.

"I didn't mean to disturb you, I'm sorry." She said as she climbed up, "In the future, I will definitely fish you out, let you rest in peace, and bring justice to you!"

Female Corpse: ...

After finally crawling out of the well, Cheng Muqing greedily breathed in the fresh air.

But the approaching fire not far away made her have to support her tired body and leave quickly.

After climbing over the high wall, Cheng Muqing leaped on the roof and finally returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Although it was a bit of a toss that night, fortunately, he was not injured.

After Cheng Muqing returned to Wenlan Courtyard, he saw the young man standing on the corridor.

The boy was wearing a black mink fur cloak, his complexion was not very good, and his cheeks were red from the cold.

"Lin Heng?" Cheng Muqing was taken aback.

"Where did you go?" the young man frowned and asked her, "Why didn't you bring Guard Cui with you?"

"Go out and wander around." Cheng Muqing smiled.

She thought that there was no need to tell him about the Liang family.

Lin Heng walked down the steps and pulled up her forearm, "I'm hurt..."

"Didn't it just break the skin?" Cheng Muqing thought it was funny, "It's okay."

The boy's long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

It would be great if I could help you... A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Cheng Muqing seemed to wake up suddenly, "I caused you to be injured."

"No..." Lin Heng shook his head, "It's just a small scratch, I'm fine."

"Then what's wrong with you?" Cheng Muqing held his wrist with his backhand and led him to the house, "Aren't you cold? Let's go inside and talk."

"It's nothing."

Lin Heng didn't want to say more, so Cheng Muqing didn't ask any more questions.

The two walked into the room one after the other.

Inside the house, Pug was looking at Charcoal.

"Princess!" Jinxi was very happy to see her back, "The bath water has been put away."

"Yeah." Cheng Muqing nodded and smiled at Lin Heng, "My lord, I won't keep you."

"But I just came in..." Lin Heng said aggrievedly.

"But I'm going to take a bath." Cheng Muqing said helplessly.

"I am here waiting for you."

Seeing his insistence, Cheng Muqing opened his mouth and nodded silently, "Okay."

Entering the clean room, Jinxi waited on him unhurriedly.

The wound on her chest was torn open due to strenuous exercise, and blood was oozing at this moment.

"Princess, you are too foolish." Jin Xi carefully wiped her body, her eyes were a little red.

"It's just a flesh injury." Cheng Muqing lay down in the bathtub indifferently, "Do you think this princess has a bit of smell on her body?"

"What smell?" Jinxi was puzzled.

"The smell of death..."

"Ah!" Jin Xi exclaimed, and the handkerchief in her hand fell into the water with a "snap".

"You are timid, when will you grow up." Cheng Muqing showed helplessness.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Qing, what's wrong?"

Outside the clean room was Lin Heng's anxious voice.

"It's okay~" Cheng Muqing yelled lazily, "I was shocked when I saw the bugs on Jinxi."

There was silence outside the door.

"Princess, you know how to scare me." Jin Xi whispered her dissatisfaction.

If you don't talk to the prince like this, you just know how to scare her!

"Heh~" Cheng Muqing wiped his face, thinking of the female corpse in the well, "Tonight, go and check, there is no one else missing in the Liang Manor other than that Aunt Wang."

"Oh... good." Jin Xi nodded blankly.

I don't know when, the princess always asked her to check strange things.

After taking a bath, Jinxi carefully applied medicine to her and cleaned the room before leaving.

The room was quiet, and Cheng Muqing collapsed directly on the bed.

The throbbing pain from the wound on her chest made her a little weak.

"Ah Qing." Lin Heng walked to her bedside with a bowl of soup, "I call the chicken soup stewed by Bai Lu..."

Cheng Muqing was a little surprised, she propped herself up, "Thank you, my lord."

Lin Heng lowered his head, two blushes floated across his cheeks.

Cheng Muqing drank it in one gulp, and returned the bowl to him, "My lord, it's so late, what do you want from me?"

"No..." Lin Heng shook his head.

"then you……"

"I'm just worried that you haven't come back."

"Don't worry." Cheng Muqing patted his head, as if smoothing his hair, "I'll be fine."

The atmosphere in the room was quiet, Lin Heng stood obediently in front of her bed, lowered his eyes, and did not speak.

"Ah Heng..." Cheng Muqing was lying on the bed. From her perspective, Lin Heng was still very oppressive standing in front of her.

Lin Heng let out a "hmm".

"You..." Cheng Muqing pursed his lips, "Aren't you going back to rest?"

　Thank you Yu Ming for the recommendation ticket~

　　"It's so late?" Ah Feng asked in surprise, "Why don't I help you, what are you going to do?"

　　"No need." Jinxi refused him.

　　"It's so late, do you know how dangerous you are as a girl?" Afeng stopped in front of her, blocking her way, with a serious expression, "Aren't you afraid to meet bad guys with me, or be clicked by bad guys? Or be..."
