Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 890 Blood splashed into eyes
However, until night fell, snowflakes were still floating sparsely, and there was only a thin layer on the untraveled roads. Even the carved patterns on the white marble bricks could be seen clearly.

When Ning Xiuyuan left the locked palace gate and rushed to Ji's house without stopping, he saw Qingshan guarding the gate.

The carriage came to a halt, and Qingshan had already come to greet him. He cupped his hands and said, "Master said that you will probably come over, and told his subordinates to wait for you here. There is something you must know before you enter... "As he said that, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Ning Xiuyuan without hesitation.

Ning Xiuyuan felt cold all over for no reason at the look in his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Miss Shen woke up for a while before dinner," Qingshan said.

This sounds strange. Isn't it a good thing that Shen Luoxin woke up? What's more, if Shen Luoxin wakes up, he can inform the Shen family and Shangguan Chu Ji Wuyan, but he shouldn't stay here in the middle of the night to inform him. Ning Xiuyuan frowned slightly, nodded silently, and silently waited for the next step.

Qingshan didn't show off, he just glanced at Ning Xiuyuan again with a strange expression, and continued, "Just a moment later, he fainted again... Mr. Chen checked her pulse and said that Miss Shen was poisoned, which is what we all said before. I thought it was the poison of the epidemic.”

Ning Xiuyuan was stunned again, "When did you get poisoned? Didn't you notice it before?"

"The poison I just received today is just that the poison entered through the eyes and spread very quickly. Miss Shen was too mentally exhausted because of Mrs. Xu's incident, so she suddenly lost control..."

"The poison... enters through the eyes?" he asked, with a wave in his voice that he didn't notice.

The heartbeat seemed to have skipped a beat, and then jumped hard, hitting the bones in the chest, causing pain. The pain was sharp and had a long aftertaste. He finally understood the meaning behind Qingshan's strange expression just now. It was complicated, sympathetic, and helpless.

Qingshan nodded, "Yes. It entered through the eyes and was splashed with Mrs. Xu's blood... The master asked his subordinates to tell you. When the girl heard this, her expression was very unbelievable. She had obviously guessed it. He I know that you will definitely get over it when you come, so I want you to be mentally prepared in advance. If you really don’t know how to face it, why not go back tonight and think about how to explain it. It is worse than just going ahead without thinking about anything. It’s better to just rush over.”

It is indeed the best way to avoid seeing him tonight...for himself and for the other party. Those emotions that have been suppressed to the extreme may be relieved after a night. But the little girl had something on her mind, so she would not have a good rest tonight... He didn't want to, and couldn't bear it. After a while, Ning Xiuyuan sighed softly, "I know, thank you very much. I'd better go over to see her, hiding is not an option."

Although he was a little surprised by Ning Xiuyuan's choice, Qingshan didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded, stepped aside, and said, "Third Master. My master also has something to convey to his subordinates. He said, The money I received from you back then helped save me several times today, and now I’m involved in it, you really deserve it.”

This statement is very "Shangguan Chu".

Although Ning Xiuyuan didn't know what the other party had done specifically, he had never forgotten the money. Now that the other party asked Qingshanhou to remind him at the door, it was the most benevolent thing for him, so he just nodded and said, "It's late at night, so there's no need to disturb your master. Let's talk to him again tomorrow morning. Just say that no matter what happens in the end, just ask him to insist that he has no knowledge about Xu Si Niang - even if Ning Ning It’s okay to have doubts but no solid evidence.”

Qingshan nodded and said yes, then stepped back to the side, watching Ning Xiuyuan walk in with one hand behind his back.

Under the pale moonlight, with sparse snow falling, the youngest pillar of the imperial court walked calmly inside. The flickering candlelight from the stone lantern on the roadside fell on him, and he drew a graceful swaying smile on the ground. film.

He looked extremely calm and determined, as if nothing happened. But probably, it really just seems. After all, this is a problem that even the master finds a headache and has no solution.

……

Ning Xiuyuan didn't know Qingshan's inner slander, but he really just looked calm...

He had never been so panicked in his life.

The distance from the door to Ji Wuyan's yard was neither long nor short, but he walked much slower than usual. For the first time, he felt that the road was still a little short. The courtyard door was open, and there was no one in the courtyard. At first glance, there was only a candle lit in the bedroom. The door was closed, but the window was open a crack. The little girl was sitting by the window, and half of her shadow fell on the window paper. He frowned, as if reading a book.

Also waiting for someone.

Obviously, he was waiting for himself. Ning Xiuyuan lowered his head and sighed, but he was still glad that he came anyway, otherwise this girl would not know when she would have to wait... He waved his hand and asked Xi An to stay outside the door. He lifted up the hem and stepped in After crossing the threshold, he walked over with steady steps that seemed normal, and called out as if unintentionally, "Ning Ning, it's late at night. Didn't I tell you to rest earlier?"

After saying this, he had already walked up the steps, walked through the corridor, and came to the window with a flick of his sleeves, his brows and eyes as gentle as before.

The hand behind his back was clenched tightly, as if only with such force could he maintain the calmness on his face.

Ji Wuyan put down the book in his hand, which he had not turned a page all night, and turned his head to look at it. He looked at it with his quiet eyes. He twitched the corner of his mouth for a long time, smiled very lightly, and said, "Luo Xin is awake."

Ning Xiuyuan nodded and said softly, "Well, with Mr. Chen here, I guessed that everything will be fine."

"Well..." Ji Wuyan added, "But she only woke up for half a cup of tea, and fell asleep again before she could speak."

"Maybe I'm too tired. It's okay."

One didn't say it clearly, and the other pretended not to understand. The two of them were pulling each other. No one wanted to be the first to pierce the window paper, and neither one knew how to face the person behind the window paper.

The moonlight shone like silver light, and scattered snowflakes were floating in the sky. There were two people across the window, one was sitting with a book in his hands and looking up, the other was standing with his hands behind his back and looking down with his eyebrows lowered, each with his own abacus. He was anxious and speculative in his heart, but calm on his face.

After a while, Ji Wuyan sighed softly, breaking the peace he had deliberately created at this moment in advance. She said, "It's not that I'm too tired... I'm just poisoned. It's the same poison that Li Yanxian was poisoned with."

Ning Xiuyuan didn't say anything. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Fortunately... the antidote has been released."
