Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 892 Don’t say it.

"Ning Ning..." He frowned and called softly, "If you are angry, you can hit me or scold me, but don't hold it in yourself. This matter is indeed my fault. I have a big role in Mrs. Xu's death. Responsibility... I will apologize to Master Shen and Miss Shen tomorrow, if Miss Shen wakes up. "

The atmosphere has never been more awkward and uneasy.

The window was open, and the distance between the two was just within touching distance, but the hand that was raised again and again did not cross the window and land on the head of the person inside. Xu Siniang's death seemed to have erected an invisible wall between the two of them. You can see my sadness, I can see your hesitation, but that seems to be the limit.

The moon was as cold as water. The girl lowered her eyes and looked at the book in her hand. She shook her head gently for a while and said, "Don't say it."

Ning Xiuyuan was slightly startled, but Ji Wuyan still lowered his head and said quietly, "Don't apologize, and don't mention this matter again. Luo Xin said that she was just mentally exhausted and fainted accidentally. Damn it... Fourth Mother is a mother, a teacher, and a confidant to her. If she really knows the truth, I'm afraid she will have a problem with you. "

My heart suddenly trembled. I thought I would face no questioning or criticism, but in the end, I stood on his side.

She should be extremely resentful and very sad and guilty, but these negative emotions were suppressed under her calm appearance, making her look unnervingly calm.

Some words rolled up in her throat, but she didn't say them out. She just said, "Okay... It's all up to you. Ning Ning, even if she feels resentful, it's okay with me... I'm just worried about you pressing her and getting hurt." Body." He raised his fingertips again, put his hand on the top of the other person's hair, and rubbed it gently, then frowned, "Why is it not dry yet?"

Ji Wuyan shook his head slightly. He wanted to say a lot. He wanted to talk about Li Yiwei's collusion with Lin Yi, he wanted to talk about the depression caused by Xu Siniang, and he also wanted to ask about the news from the East Palace and the emperor, but... When emotions surge up, even "business" seems to be unworthy of mention. She shook her head gently and said, "It doesn't matter," and then said, "Go back to sleep, it's getting late."

Although Rao didn't want to leave, he didn't know what to say if he stayed here. After a long while, he warned in a gentle voice, "Then you still have to dry your hair before going to bed."

Ji Wuyan nodded and said "Okay", but did not get up. He just sat there and looked at each other calmly, as if to send each other off.

Sighing... Ning Xiuyuan felt that he might have sighed more today than in the past combined. He rubbed the top of Ji Wuyan's soft hair and told him again, "dry your hair before taking a rest." He stood up and left slowly. After taking only two steps, he heard a soft call from behind, "Third Brother."

Ning Xiuyuan paused and turned around almost instantly, "What's wrong?"

With her back to the light, the little girl's eyes were hidden in the darkness. She could not see clearly, but seemed to be vaguely scrutinizing. Ning Xiuyuan felt that the heart in his chest was beating harder than ever before with such eyes.

There are worries and inexplicable expectations, and I don’t even know what I am expecting.

"Third brother." She put the book in her hand on the coffee table, walked to the window and looked at him, and asked, "You just said that you have been hesitating whether to tell me or not... so Third brother, where did you hear the news that Luo Xin was poisoned in advance? "

The hand behind his back trembled slightly, and his beating heart seemed to suddenly skip a beat for no reason. He opened his mouth and remained silent.

Ji Wuyan pulled the corner of his mouth silently, and whispered in the other party's silence, "It's late at night, walk slowly on the road and rest early." After that, he slowly closed the open window, blocking the other party's sight.

The answer to this question is actually obvious, which is why Ji Wuyan finally decided to hide it. Not only Ning Xiuyuan, but also Shangguan Chu... Luo Xin's affection for his brother is seen by many people, but his sweetheart has concealed his mother's affairs from him. How will Luo Xin deal with it after knowing it? ? She didn't know, but she knew that Luo Xin knew about it, and it was really impossible for the two of them.

Xu Siniang's saying is actually quite right. Living people are always more important.

Ji Wuyan leaned against the wall by the window, listening to the footsteps in the courtyard getting further and further away, listening to the man's vague sigh, and listening to him telling Xi'an to deliver the medicine tomorrow morning. She lowered her head. He stared at a certain spot on the ground in a daze. After a while, he walked to the table and blew out the candle.

……

Sangji's body was finally sent to the Yamen. The news that the East Palace had kidnapped the royal wife and caused her blood to splatter on the spot soon swept the entire Yanjing city.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough and strict investigation overnight. Even the prime minister's office was implicated. Bian Xiangfei was not allowed to enter the palace, and the imperial concubine was also banned from his own palace. The entire Bian family was in a state of chaos overnight. Decay comes.

The gate of Bai's house was bustling with people, and officials who heard the news were holding greeting cards and generous gifts to express their feelings. It may be too late.

At this time, Shangshu Bai began to complain that he was ill and did not go to court, did not meet guests, or even went out. As a result, all the officials who had spent their efforts waiting outside the gate of Bai Mansion returned home in vain. So, after asking around, I only found out that he stayed in the study all day long, but didn't know what he was doing.

Xi'an delivered the antidote pill early in the morning, offered it with both hands, bent down to salute, and conveyed Ning Xiuyuan's instructions, "Master has something to say to the girl." He said that even at this time, he still does not want you to use this pill. Pill, he hopes you can wait for news about Snow Toad. Of course, this is what he said from a selfish standpoint. No matter what choice you make in the end, he will support it... As for Dong Gong and He. Your Majesty, don’t worry, there will be no chance for the East Palace to make a comeback this time.”

Ji Wuyan nodded and said good-bye, then collected the antidote that he had given away before. The antidote was packed in a golden nanmu box. The box was filled with white wool cushions, which looked exquisite and high-end.

She rubbed the box and watched Xi An leave. After a while, she sighed softly and finally got up and went to Shen Luoxin's place.

She understood what Ning Xiuyuan meant. Although Shen Luoxin's poison was coming fiercely, there was still time to wait. Maybe the snow toad would come back in a day or two. However, Shen Luoxin could wait, but Xu Siniang... couldn't wait.

She owed Xu Siniang and hid it from Shen Luoxin, so she felt she was in debt. Now on the last journey to see Xu Siniang off, Ji Wuyan had to let Shen Luoxin catch up no matter what.

It's just an antidote.
