The prince of the highest poison, you must serve
Chapter 193 Declaring Sovereignty
Chapter 193 Declaring Sovereignty
General's Mansion, Qingshui Pavilion.
At dawn, Xie Lingqin woke up, but Yu Wenyao was no longer by his side.
She remembered that before dawn, she heard a message that the emperor had summoned him into the palace.
Xie Lingqin couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. He thought that his whole body would be stiff and painful. After all, Yu Wenyao had been lighting her acupuncture points.
However, stretching out his arms, his whole body is refreshed, and everywhere he breathes, there is Yu Wenyao's clear and elegant pear blossom fragrance.
Zihe heard the movement in the house, and came in with water, and it seemed that there was a joyful smile between his brows.
"Miss, you are awake."
Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe, it was a secret that Yu Wenyao slept with her last night, no one knew about it, but Zihe clearly knew it like this.
Seeing his lady's sleepy, lazy and rather confused look, Zihe put the water basin on the side shelf, stepped forward and said, "Miss, you don't know, when the prince left Qingshui Pavilion before, he was deliberately I went around in the yard, told the servants not to hug you to sleep, and then left."
When Xie Lingqin heard this, his face immediately burned.
This bastard, it's obviously a claim of sovereignty, besides, although she doesn't care much about her reputation, but...
"Miss, don't worry, the maids and mothers in the yard are all kind people, and they won't tell the story."
Zihe said again, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Xie Lingqin glared at her, "You're the only one who can say, hurry up and get me my clothes."
"Yes."
Zihe immediately walked towards the cabinet.
"Miss, the pink you are wearing today is still blue..."
"No, just take out the plain black one."
"Gone."
Zihe Road.
Xie Lingqin nodded her brows, waved her sleepy back, and looked at Zihe, "What's gone?"
"Your servant is saying, Miss, the plain black clothes you had in the closet are gone, and..." Zi He was stunned, "Besides, there are several more sets of clothes in bright colors and textures in the closet."
Xie Lingqin looked at the mahogany wardrobe, at the neatly folded skirts and shirts, almost with happiness.
Suddenly, clearly.
"This Yu Wenyao is really too late to save." Xie Lingqin let out annoyance, but his brows were full of tenderness, and he said casually, "Just the wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress with aqua blue gold silk border .”
"Yes."
After Xie Lingqin changed her clothes, she took a quick glance, and there was a slight darkness in her eyes.
Her gaze was fixed on the box containing the bones of her mother Zongzheng Shao, her calm eyes darkened layer by layer.
In my mind, all the things I saw in the secret passage of General Xie's study yesterday, and all the things that Heipao said, suddenly flashed in my mind.
After breakfast, Xie Lingqin went to the ancestral hall of the General's Mansion.
In a gloomy courtyard, the old nanny was beating the ground, and inside, there were several memorial tablets standing there, just looking at it made people feel cold for no reason.
"Hello, mammy." Xie Lingqin walked up to the mammy and comforted her softly.
The wrinkles on the old mother's face made her look older than Lin's actual age. She raised her eyes to look at Xie Lingqin, she was gentle and peaceful, "Missy is here."
"I want to ask Mammy about my mother's life."
"When a person dies like a lamp goes out, there is nothing to ask."
The old mother gave a wry smile, and looked at Xie Lingqin, "However, Miss is in the spirit of heaven, knowing that you have grown up to be so beautiful and wise, I must be very pleased."
Xie Lingqin's eyes fell on the old nanny.
There are many gray hairs mixed in Mammy's hair. When she said this, there was a glint of light in her eyes, as if her whole body was full of hope.
Xie Lingqin didn't want to beat around the bush, and directly explained why she came here, "I know that Nanny is the closest and most trusted maid in my mother's life, so, is it true that my mother's body is buried in the tomb of the General's Mansion? "
"Whether there is a body, the old slave thought, with the young lady's ability, I can definitely find it, so why ask me?"
The old nanny caressed her face and smiled, then saluted Xie Lingqin and continued to sweep the yard with the broom.
"I see, thank you Mammy."
Xie Lingqin nodded slightly, and led Zihe out of the gate of the ancestral hall.
"Miss, someone is watching the secret prescription."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "I feel it."
"Miss you..."
Zihe was stunned, "This person's lightness skill is not weak, and the servant is also slightly aware. Miss, you have no internal strength, even if you are extremely sensitive, you still..."
Xie Lingqin shook her head, "I don't know why, it seems that the perception of surrounding things has become stronger and stronger recently, perhaps it is the result of my recent physical training."
There is no doubt that there is him in this river, "The lady, the body of the general's wife."
"It must not be in the tomb of the General's Mansion." Xie Lingqin was extremely sure, "Otherwise, according to Mammy's loyalty to my mother, she would directly deny it, but she didn't."
Therefore, the skeleton in the box in her room is really her mother's.
……
In the study of the general's mansion.
"General Xie, you are right, the eldest lady actually went to the nurse who guards the ancestral hall today to ask if the lady's body is buried in the tomb."
General Xie, who was writing something on the rice paper on the table, became serious when he heard this, "What can the old lady say?"
"General, no, Missy has no doubts either."
General Xie nodded, "Since this is the case, I am so close to this daughter, so I should be on guard, but just in case..." General Xie sighed, "This nanny has been in the General's Mansion for many years. It's time to die too."
"Yes, this subordinate knows how to do it."
……
After Xie Lingqin left the ancestral hall, she left the General's Mansion to find Xu Yiran.
She wanted to find what he wanted the man in black to leave behind.
Of course, before going out, she used the medicine Yu Wenyao left her to wipe her neck, lips, and the obvious marks that could be seen at a glance.
In the end, she still wants to save face.
Xie Lingqin didn't go directly to Huangshan Academy, but asked Tinghai to invite Xu Yiran to meet outside.
"I knew you had me in your heart." Xu Yiran was dressed in a white brocade robe and a jade belt around her waist. Today, she seemed to have a little more elegance than before.
Both fresh and pure, but also romantic and suave.
These two opposite temperaments are displayed in him, and there is no violation of harmony.
"Xu Yiran, I'm looking for you to ask for the things that the man in black asked you to give me."
Xie Lingqin avoided Xu Yiran's ambiguous words and got straight to the point.
"Oh, that's how it is. However, you don't have to be so unfamiliar with me. Next time, someone can call me and send it to you in person."
Xu Yiran's voice is very nice, like the summer wind blowing through the trees, it makes people's mind clear.
However, when he spoke to her, there was a hint of ambiguity.
And this ambiguity was so unaffected that it made Xie Lingqin feel passive and unable to push it away.
"Xu Yiran, now the city is full of wind and rain, you must have heard it, the person in my heart is the prince..."
"I know, for you, he despicably drugged me yesterday."
Xu Yiran narrated softly, without any anger or frustration, her sword-like eyebrows were relaxed, and her whole body exuded a calm and detached temperament.
Such a person turned out to be the master of the Palace of Heavenly Mysteries, which can be said to be suitable, but not quite.
Of course, Xie Lingqin heard about Xu Yiran being drugged by him yesterday from Yu Wenyao's mouth, so he didn't have much to say now, so he took a step back indiscriminately, "Then, something..."
"Come with me."
"Can't you ask someone to bring it over?"
Xie Lingqin frowned, but Xu Yiran smiled lightly at her. His stature was as tall as Yu Wenyao's. Standing in front of her, his eyes fell on her face, with a feeling of searching people's hearts.
Xie Lingqin was nervous for no reason, and subconsciously changed her words, "If not, I'll wait for you here, and you can fetch it for me."
"Xie Lingqin..."
Xu Yiran took a step forward suddenly, and Qing Ling's gaze was fixed on the bright eyes under Xie Lingqin's thick lashes.
In her eyes, the stars are shining brightly, but in him, they are right in the middle.
"Xie Lingqin, you are afraid of me."
Xu Yiran turned to a low smile, and the laughter filled the mountains like light music.
Xie Lingqin flicked his sleeves, took a step back, "No."
"do not have it?"
Xu Yiran took another step closer, and a breath as clean as snow rushed towards her face, "Are you afraid of falling in love with me?" He said.
"Master Xu, please respect yourself."
Zihe suddenly stood in front of Xie Lingqin, fully alert and full of hostility.
Xu Yiran glanced at her, shrugged innocently, then turned around, "Come with me."
Xie Lingqin's face was calm, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zihe followed after the matter.
It was still the same way as last time, but Xu Yiran did not allow Zihe to follow.
Xie Lingqin had no choice but to ask Zihe to guard by the big tree outside.
Even though Zihe was extremely unwilling, he could only obey his orders.
In the long tunnel, Xie Lingqin is no longer a stranger after having been here once.
Xu Yiran walked in front of him like this, with his robes in the silent air, following the movement of his footsteps, there was a very slight friction sound.
"Xu Yiran, if you leave your back to me like this, you won't be afraid that I will cheat on you."
Xie Lingqin said.
"I can reject anyone in this world, but I can't reject you. If you want to cheat on me, you can live or die, as you like."
Xu Yiran didn't turn her head, but Qingling's voice hit Xie Lingqin's ears verbatim.
Suddenly, Xie Lingqin's heart ached, and he choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
The two walked to the previous suspension bridge again.
This time, Xu Yiran and Xie Lingqin walked up at the same time. When Xie Lingqin walked halfway, Xu Yiran suddenly turned around, hugged Xie Lingqin vigorously, and hugged him tightly. into the arms.
Xie Lingqin instinctively refused the masculine breath of a stranger.
"Xu Yiran, do you want to die?"
"Don't move." Xu Yiran tightly held her waist, motioning her to look down.
Xie Lingqin looked down with a cold face, only to find that compared with the last time when he came here, the seemingly invisible flames under the suspension bridge were higher than the surrounding clouds and mist. At that moment, he almost jumped up. Come up and almost burn her.
"The flames have subsided, you can let me go."
Xie Lingqin vigorously pushed Xu Yiran away.
However, Xu Yiran had already retreated suddenly when she pushed her over. She looked at her leisurely and said softly, "Compared with Yu Wenyao's, who is more elegant than Yu Wenyao's?" It smells better."
Xie Lingqin's face darkened, "Shameless."
"If I'm shameless, can you fall in love with me?"
Xu Yiran was very serious.
Xie Lingqin didn't bother to pay attention to him, just missed him and walked forward, "Xu Yiran, you are the master of Tianji Palace, please don't make such jokes with me again."
"I'm serious, why don't you believe me." Xu Yiran's starry eyes slightly frowned, seemingly helpless.
Xie Lingqin took a deep breath and looked at him, "I still love Ah San next door to me, but he is a dog, do you believe it?"
"Your menstruation is delayed this month."
Xie Lingqin's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she looked back at Xu Yiran, "You..."
"I said, I love you and always care about you."
Xie Lingqin's face was darkened, and he strode forward until he jumped and ran to the flat ground beside him.
However, Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes, turned around suddenly, looked at Xu Yiran who hadn't come over yet, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, stepped forward a few steps, and yanked the suspension bridge violently and swung it desperately.
"Xu Yiran, this is toothless." Xie Lingqin's voice became colder and her strength increased.
Xu Yiran's complexion changed obviously, it seemed that she didn't expect Xie Lingqin to do this move, and she was about to move towards Xie Lingqin standing on the flat ground with her toes.
Xie Lingqin's eyes tightened, and with a flick of his wrist, the silver needle in his sleeve came out, and he went straight to Xu Yiran.
The fine silver needles struck, Xu Yiran ignored her head and tail, suddenly slipped, and fell straight down into the abyss that was still bubbling with anger.
Xie Lingqin's face was shocked, and he ran over and slipped, while climbing onto the stone wall, he just held Xu Yiran's hand, "Xu Yiran, aren't you a master of martial arts and superb lightness kung fu? Why are you so useless?"
"It was you who made the move. I will die without any regrets or complaints."
"Come up quickly, I can't hold on."
Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth, she couldn't hold it any longer, she just felt that her face was hurt by the flames below, but she saw that Xu Yiran was still as calm as a breeze, clearly hanging in the abyss, as long as Xie Lingqin let go, he could be put away In death, but calm.
"It is said that if you like someone, you will treat him like this. So, Xie Lingqin, do you like me so you deliberately tease me?"
"Xu Yiran, if you say one more word, I will let you go."
"If you're willing, let it go."
"You... come up to me."
Xie Lingqin was furious, and almost gave an order. When the words fell, Xu Yiran touched her toes on the cliff and made a beautiful spin in the air. At the same time, she hugged Xie Lingqin's waist tightly, and the two of them landed on the ground easily.
As soon as Xie Lingqin pushed him away, Xu Yiran tightly pulled Xie Lingqin forward as soon as he landed, the two stuck so close.
"Xu Yiran, let go, I'll only say it once."
"Your lips are so beautiful." Xu Yiran suddenly raised her hand to caress Xie Lingqin's black hair, and tilted her head slightly, but when she was a few millimeters away from Xie Lingqin, her eyes dimmed, "You are so cruel. "
"The reason why I held you to prevent you from falling is because you haven't given me the black robe, that's all."
Xie Lingqin's voice was as cold as ice.
"I'll be sad if you're so unfeeling." Xu Yiran let go of her hands, flicked her sleeves, and walked forward.
But under the rosy clouds, Xie Lingqin's blue hair fluttered, and he secretly tightened the dagger that had been pressed against Xu Yiran's waist just now, pulled it back into his sleeve, and followed.
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
This time I didn't enter the gate of Tianji Temple, a black-clothed guard appeared, and handed a book to Xu Yiran respectfully, "This is what the Hall Master wants."
Xu Yiran didn't answer, but nodded, motioning for the other party to pass it to Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin took the booklet, glanced at Xu Yiran again, put it in his sleeve immediately, "Farewell."
The words fell, and he walked without stopping.
Xu Yiran gave a wry smile, and then followed.
Outside the secret passage, Zihe waited anxiously, just like her, Tinghai also looked anxious.
"Tell me, will Miss be abducted by Mr. Xu?" Hearing the sea was very worried.
Zihe glanced at him, "How could it be, the young lady only has the prince in her heart."
"But……"
Ting Hai scratched his head, "Of course I have absolute confidence in the prince. In the whole world, there is no one else who can be better than the prince, but this young master Xu just feels weird. The young lady is indifferent to him, but compared To others, it’s considered polite.”
Hearing this, Zihe's face darkened for no reason, and he said, "Before now, Miss has never been so polite to Mr. Xuanyuan."
"Yeah, you should also feel that..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, you are here to worry about it."
Zi He gave Ting Hai a blank look, then stopped talking, and Gu Zi looked at the entrance again.
"Hey, tell me, there's nothing unusual here, so why do we have to come here to inspect it?"
"Who knows, anyway, we will do what the above say."
Ahead, behind the dense jungle, there are conversations coming from far and near.
Zihe and Tinghai looked at each other and immediately disappeared.
After a while, two men in military uniforms came over.
The two found a place and unbuttoned their pants.
"Hey, it's convenient here."
"Okay, but speaking of it, I seem to have heard that the deputy general passed by this time a few days ago and felt that something was a little strange here. He was busy at the time, and then I remembered that he asked us to check it from time to time these few days. "
The man sighed comfortably while talking, and then lifted his pants.
"No, look, the soil here seems to be looser than the ones next to it..."
The other man who was pulling up his pants frowned, then squatted down, and waved to his companion who was turning around to leave, "Look, look, it looks like..."
"hit."
With a soft sound, the two men fainted immediately.
On the side, a big tree whirled, and the secret door leading to the Palace of Heavenly Secrets slowly opened, Xu Yiran and Xie Lingqin stood there.
At the same time, Zihe and Tinghai who were hidden in the dark immediately appeared.
"What's the use of knocking them out."
Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Yiran, clearly disapproving of his actions.
Xu Yiran stepped forward unhurriedly, with a smile on her slender lips, "Then, let them forget about it."
While speaking, Xu Yiran raised her hand, caressing the foreheads of the two, closed her eyes and twisted her mind, a light mist seemed to pass between the light brows, after a while, Xu Yiran withdrew her hand, and whispered into the dark place, "The old rules."
"Yes."
At that moment, someone appeared in the air and took the two men down.
"I remember, last time at Miss Lanxiang's house, you said that you know illusion." Xie Lingqin said, "So, you were using illusion on them just now to make them forget what happened just now."
"Exactly." Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin gently, "Do you still remember the day when Miss Lanxiang lay on the bed, you and I..."
"So, after all these years, it's not that no one has discovered this place. It's just that you have dealt with them in this way, making them lose this part of their memory." Xie Lingqin interrupted Xu Yiran, and said.
Xu Yiran didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she gathered her slender fingers together and put them into her sleeves.
Xie Lingqin was a little dazed.
Why, when Xu Yiran used illusion on those two men just now, that movement, that posture, and that strong arm made her feel so familiar.
It was as if she had done this to others before, or someone else had done this to her.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and frowned, but she was sure that there was no fragmented memory in her mind. "
Moreover, she remembered that the prince can also perform illusions.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xie Lingqin's emotions were brought into his eyes, and Xu Yiran's eyes had a flash of light, and then he retracted his eyes.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Only then did Zihe step forward and speak, extremely concerned.
Xie Lingqin signaled her not to worry, and then said, "Let's go back to the city."
"Yes."
Watching Xie Lingqin's leaving back, a trace of melancholy gradually appeared on Xu Yiran's face.
"Hallmaster."
"Tell me, how can I capture a woman's heart?" Xu Yiran looked at the man in black who appeared beside him, sighing and feeling disappointed.
The visitor didn't know what to answer, so he paused and cupped his hands, "Hall Master, Miss Luwu is back."
When Xu Yiran heard this, her face became serious, "Then?"
"He went to the barbarians and confronted Yi Shizi head-on. Yi Shizi was superior and won the antidote."
The person who came was talking, looking a little frustrated.
Xu Yiran was not too surprised, instead she smiled lightly, "How could Yu Wenyao let me show courteousness in front of Qin'er, heh... Tell Luwu, it's okay, the antidote left and right is for Qin'er."
"Yes."
……
At this time, the prince's mansion.
In the peaceful and elegant study room, a figure passed through the eaves, pasted the window lattice, landed in the room, and then picked up a pot of tea on the table and poured it into his mouth.
Yu Wenyao was sitting behind the desk at this time, dealing with a tall stack of letters. He looked up, then lowered his head, and processed the letters in his hand for review.
"Hey, anyway, I've had a hard time here, and you don't want to say anything nice, please care about me."
Yu Qingyi put the kettle down, wiped her lips, sat on the chair, crossed her legs.
"When did you see me say something nice?" Yu Wenyao's voice was flat.
Yu Qingyi curled her lips, "I see that you can say anything to Xie Lingqin, my sister Qin, and I also heard that you stayed in his boudoir last night."
"Well, if you want, I can also arrange a boudoir for you."
"have to--"
Yu Qingyi took a few steps and stepped back, "I don't want it, um, I got the antidote."
"You sent a message earlier, said."
"However, in this fight with the Temple of Heaven's Mystery, that green girl is pretty good..." Yu Qingyi rubbed her chin, as if she had paid attention to it. "
Yu Wenyao nodded, but after a while, he raised his deep eyes and looked at Yu Qingyi, "Duanyang didn't beat you up when he saw you like this?"
"How dare she—"
"She doesn't dare. The Nanqi princess behind her probably dares."
"Shh!"
Yu Qingyi immediately silenced, and looked around cautiously, "I always feel that Nan Fenghuang's ears are in all directions. This time when I went to the barbarians, she actually went too."
"There should be more than these people."
"Of course, there are people from the Palace of Hades." Yu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "It seems that they are all very interested in this antidote."
"Bring it." Yu Wenyao stretched out his hand, "The antidote."
"Brick." Yu Qingyi raised his brows, and handed over a jade-colored vial, "Hey, I'm really tempted brother, don't kiss me, anyway, I'm going out this trip, it's a narrow escape, don't say it Thank you, and reward."
"In one month, the emperor will give Xie Lingqin a marriage. All countries will come, so your phoenix will also come. Is this a reward?"
Yu Wenyao said suddenly.
The smile on Yu Qingyi's face faltered, "A marriage? I haven't even entered the city yet, and I heard that you and Xie Lingqin are hand in hand. It's a match made in heaven. At this time, the emperor will give you a marriage?"
"Well, I just came out of the palace an hour ago." Yu Wenyao looked at Yu Qingyi with deep phoenix eyes, "Say, do I want to refuse?"
Yu Qingyi's face was dark.
Of course you can't refuse.
To refuse is to invite a killer for Xie Lingqin, so...
"So, the person who will marry her must be me."
Yu Wenyao tapped his finger on the table, the self-confidence and certainty at this moment, like a smear of light, made Yu Qingyi almost feel sacred.
He knows that once he decides something, no one can change it, except that he can change it himself.
"Yu Wenyao."
With Yu Qingyi's frivolous temperament, it is rare for him to get serious and call him by his name.
"I still can't understand, why are you so moved by your heart and love... A you who have never had a heart, unexpectedly..."
"I don't know when I fell in love with her."
It seems that when Yu Wenyao mentioned Xie Lingqin, his eyes were tinged with brilliance, and his voice was extremely gentle, "I am willing to fall for her."
Yu Qingyi slammed her mouth, "Didn't you say before, take advantage of it?"
"That was back then, now..." Yu Wenyao smiled, "If you can't use her, then let her take advantage of you."
Yuwen Yao's cloud is calm and clear, but only Yu Qingyi knows what kind of storms such a sentence will cause this man who looks like a god in front of him.
"However, you said Nan Fenghuang would come too... Oh my God!"
Yu Qingyi didn't know whether she was happy or worried, so she ran away.
……
Dong Lao's mansion.
Xie Lingqin and Zihe fell into Elder Dong's mansion in twos and down to the medicine garden where he usually lives.
Elder Dong was distributing herbs, when he saw Xie Lingqin approaching, he immediately blew his beard and stared, "What are you doing here again?"
"Is Elder Dong too happy to see me?"
"Walk around, I'm not happy, seeing you has a headache."
Xie Lingqin refused to leave, took a step forward, and took out from his sleeve the silk handkerchief that was wrapped with poisonous arrows in the rice egg in General Xie's study yesterday, "Mr. Dong, can you take a look at this for me and analyze it for me?" What are the ingredients of the poison on it?"
Elder Dong took it with a frown, looked at Xie Lingqin, "Where did you make trouble?"
"It's a very mysterious place. I've studied it, but I can't guess the ingredients of the poison inside, so I want to ask you for help."
Dong Laofei rolled his eyes, "I never do useless things."
"I know, I will treat you to a drink some other day, to drink Peach Blossom Snow."
"Ten altars."
"no problem."
Xie Lingqin was a little funny, thinking that this old man is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
but……
"Old Dong, I came to you the day before yesterday, why are you a little angry with me?"
"angry?"
"Isn't Mr. Dong so old that his memory has faded?"
Elder Dong twisted his hands, "Of course I am angry, old man. You have dragged old man Qi into accounting. No one will accompany me to play this game."
"Oh, fine, then I'll give Elder Qi another day off and let him come and accompany you."
Elder Dong hummed, obviously agreeing.
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she took Zihe away.
As for Dong Lao's mansion, Dong Lao was staring at the imprint on the silk handkerchief, and after a while, he was going to smell it, when a slender jade-like hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the silk handkerchief away.
Elder Dong suddenly raised his head, "Too... aren't you the prince?"
Someone came forward and covered Elder Dong's mouth.
……
After Xie Lingqin left Dong's Mansion, she did not go back to the General's Mansion, but Nie Zui'er sent a message asking her to go there.
Although it was only a few figures, Xie Lingqin knew that Ning Xiucai had finally made a move.
Nie Zui'er seemed to have learned the truth.
"Miss." In the air, Ming Lan suddenly appeared.
"As you expected, General Xie really did something to the old lady guarding the ancestral hall. However, his subordinates have already rescued the old lady by pretending to be fake, and now they put her in the world."
Xie Lingqin nodded, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, "This father is really my good father." Since then, he looked at Minglan, "You take a good look at her, I will go to Fuyue Casino."
"Yes, but there is one more thing, Miss. In recent days, the Hall of Fame has taken over some things."
"Leave this matter to you, Tianxing and the others."
"Miss Hui, we get along well and everything is fine."
Xie Lingqin was very relieved, "Then you go back and give him a message, just say, let him and his brothers get ready, it will probably take a few days before you have to exercise your muscles and bones."
Although Minglan didn't understand, she didn't ask any further questions, and immediately withdrew.
……
Fuyue Casino.
The fact that Nie Zui'er was arrested and imprisoned a few days ago has long since disappeared, and everything has returned to normal. After the crown prince rescued Nie Zui'er, the fifth princess never came to Fuyue Casino to trouble her again.
At this time, the hall was full of people, betting big and small, Xie Lingqin nodded to the guards in the hall, and took Zihe to the back hall quietly.
The back hall was full of lifeless anger, which seemed to make people more mournful than the death of Nie Zui'er's father that day.
In the room at the end of the corridor, the door was wide open.
Bai Yuzheng was standing outside the door with his head drooping. He was not at all interested when he saw Xie Lingqin coming.
Inside the room, Ning Xiucai was kneeling on the ground with thorns on his back. In front of him, Nie Zui'er was staring at the mahogany table with hatred and anger in his eyes with a pale complexion.
"Today, if you want to kill or cut, I will listen to Miss Nie."
Ning Xiucai regretted and was in pain.
Before getting to know Xie Lingqin, he was pedantic, and once made shameless criticisms of Nie Zui'er's indiscretion and unrestrained behavior, and he regarded her as a scourge in his heart.
However, one day, when someone told him that he caused an innocent aunt to become like this, the pain in his heart would be more than a thousand times.
Xie Lingqin swung Zihe back and stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or leave.
In fact, she is not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Similarly, she has never experienced it, so even if she can understand Nie Zui'er, she can't empathize with her.
"Hey!"
Xie Lingqin sighed lightly.
"Xie Lingqin, tell me, how should I deal with this person in front of me?"
Finally, Nie Zui'er raised her head, looking at Xie Lingqin at the door with her slender phoenix eyes, her eyes were full of clues, perhaps even more desperate than when she was insulted that day.
"I……"
Xie Lingqin said a word, but she really didn't know what to say, so she closed her mouth lightly, then turned around, took a step back, and leaned against the door, her eyes jumped long.
"Ning Xiucai, if you die, you will have more than a crime. I will help you take care of those children. I think Liu Yunzhou will do the same."
Xie Lingqin only said this, and then stopped talking.
In other words, she doesn't care about this matter, even if Ning Xiucai is her accountant, she doesn't care.
However, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
"Shh-"
Inside the house, the sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh made everyone's scalp tingle when they heard it.
Ning Xiucai wailed in pain.
Xie Lingqin's brows did not move, while Bai Yu watched Nie Zui'er's face in pain.
This kind of sadness, complexity, darkness and tugging is difficult to describe in words.
"get out."
Then, with Nie Zui'er's roar, Ning Xiucai was thrown out and fell heavily on the ground.
Nie Zui'er came out right after her and looked at Ning Xiucai, "From now on, we will never owe each other, and we will not mention the past."
Nie Zui'er finished speaking and closed the door.
Bai Yu looked at the closed door, and seemed to want to knock on it, but finally didn't have the courage to go down.
"Nie Zui'er is not an ordinary woman. At this time, I need you."
Xie Lingqin looked at Baiyu's rare seriousness, then called Zihe, helped Ning Xiucai up, and left Fuyue Casino.
Bai Yu was stunned for a long time before pushing the door open and entering the room.
As soon as they entered the room, a fiery kiss suddenly struck.
……
Throwing Ning Xiucai on the bed, bandaging his wounds, Xie Lingqin asked Ning Xiucai and the older children to fetch medicine, gave instructions, and then left.
Today's knife, in fact, more or less relieved most of Xie Lingqin's worries.
If Nie Zui'er doesn't make a break with Ning Xiucai, then she will definitely become someone else's provocation.
As for these two people, she hoped that they would live in peace, at least not be enemies.
Speaking of it, she is selfish.
But she knew that Nie Ben'er not only had the feelings of the world, but also knew how to weigh the situation, otherwise, she would make Ning Xiucai's life worse than death.
"Sister, the father you mentioned comes here every day and wants me to go back to the house. Should I go?"
Ning Yi sent Xie Lingqin to the door, muttering softly.
Xie Lingqin patted his head, "Then, do you want to go to the General's Mansion?"
Ning Yi was silent, thinking with a small face, and then said, "I want to be with my sister, I can protect my sister."
"Then you believe in sister, you are the safest here."
Xie Lingqin's voice was gentle.
Once Ning Yi enters the General's Mansion, all kinds of remarks, unintentional and deliberate ridicule will make the child feel strange.
And he was originally mentally deficient, if he was accidentally used by someone with a heart, it would be harm to him.
Ning Yi reluctantly sent Xie Lingqin away, then turned around and closed the courtyard door.
……
"Miss, Ning is too dependent on you."
"Yes, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Xie Lingqin rubbed the center of her brows, suddenly feeling powerless.
"Hey, miss, look at the front, is it the girl Lanxiang you mentioned that day?"
Zihe suddenly pointed to a woman walking on the bustling street ahead.
Xie Lingqin looked up, his eyes were slightly dazed.
Lan Xiang is indeed Lan Wu, but she is no longer the Lan Xiang she saw that day.
Dressed plainly, without makeup, her hair tied back casually, like the daughter of an ordinary family, carrying a basket, obviously shopping for something on the street.
That's right, I heard Suanpizi say that she might be a good person.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Lanxiang?"
Suddenly, a salty pig's hand grabbed Lan Xiang's hand that was stretching out to pay the money.
Lan Xiang immediately struggled back, "Mr. Hao."
"I heard, are you in good health?"
"um, yes."
Lan Xiang looked at the man's fat and lustful eyes, backed away again, clearly wanted to get angry, but was afraid of offending the other party, so she tried her best to bear it.
"Well, today, you are free. I have never had the chance to sleep in your bed. I think about it closely."
Behind the man, several guards also stepped forward, looking at Lan Xiang with malicious intent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hao, I've already given up. Please don't come to me again in the future."
Lan Xiang slightly turned sideways, trying to walk past the surrounding of several men.
"Hey, let me tell you, this prostitute is a prostitute. Practice makes perfect anyway. If I pay more money, I won't be able to go through the back door..."
"Back door, back door, hahaha."
Beside the man, the guards immediately smirked.
Lan Xiang has been in the romantic place for so many years, and she also knows how to avoid trouble. For a person like her, if she wants to completely clean up her crimes, she must not be able to do so, so she can only endure.
"Mr. Hao, the little girl really has something else to do. Let me leave."
Lan Xiang wanted to slip away, but it was obvious that the other party had made up his mind not to let her go. Looking at Lan Xiang's eyes, his eyes almost fell off.
"Master Hao, it's not good for you to be like this."
"What's wrong, why are you still playing hard to get?"
"Mr. Hao, if you continue to pester me like this, I will have to report to the police."
Lan Xiang knew that she couldn't leave, the flattering smile on her face suddenly faded, and there was anger in her voice.
"Yo, see if you can, come and take her away for me."
"You let me go."
"stop."
Outside the crowd, there was a shout.
Mr. Hao didn't even look at who it was. He rubbed his chin and turned around, "Who dares to tell this young master to stop... Ah, Lord Liu."
dark place.
Xie Lingqin told Zihe, "Let's go."
"Miss, what about me?"
It was Suanpizi's voice, he had just appeared in the past, and he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Xie Louqin.
This is a busy city, if he uses force to attack, it will only bring more troubles to Lan Xiang.
This is good, there is Liu Yunzhou, the dignified doctor of the imperial history.
Mr. Hao...
He dares.
"Have you heard? It is said that Miss Li has woken up to the cause of Mr. Li's death. She was not just killed by someone. It is said that she was bewitched."
"real……"
"It's just news from the Jingzhao Mansion."
Not far away, Xie Lingqin's face darkened.
Li Junru died of being poisoned?
how is this possible.
That day, she was the first to come into contact with the corpse, and apart from the brutal killing, there was clearly no sign of being infected by a Gu.
"Miss, I'm afraid there is something weird in it."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "Let's go and have a look."
"Yes."
(End of this chapter)
General's Mansion, Qingshui Pavilion.
At dawn, Xie Lingqin woke up, but Yu Wenyao was no longer by his side.
She remembered that before dawn, she heard a message that the emperor had summoned him into the palace.
Xie Lingqin couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. He thought that his whole body would be stiff and painful. After all, Yu Wenyao had been lighting her acupuncture points.
However, stretching out his arms, his whole body is refreshed, and everywhere he breathes, there is Yu Wenyao's clear and elegant pear blossom fragrance.
Zihe heard the movement in the house, and came in with water, and it seemed that there was a joyful smile between his brows.
"Miss, you are awake."
Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe, it was a secret that Yu Wenyao slept with her last night, no one knew about it, but Zihe clearly knew it like this.
Seeing his lady's sleepy, lazy and rather confused look, Zihe put the water basin on the side shelf, stepped forward and said, "Miss, you don't know, when the prince left Qingshui Pavilion before, he was deliberately I went around in the yard, told the servants not to hug you to sleep, and then left."
When Xie Lingqin heard this, his face immediately burned.
This bastard, it's obviously a claim of sovereignty, besides, although she doesn't care much about her reputation, but...
"Miss, don't worry, the maids and mothers in the yard are all kind people, and they won't tell the story."
Zihe said again, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Xie Lingqin glared at her, "You're the only one who can say, hurry up and get me my clothes."
"Yes."
Zihe immediately walked towards the cabinet.
"Miss, the pink you are wearing today is still blue..."
"No, just take out the plain black one."
"Gone."
Zihe Road.
Xie Lingqin nodded her brows, waved her sleepy back, and looked at Zihe, "What's gone?"
"Your servant is saying, Miss, the plain black clothes you had in the closet are gone, and..." Zi He was stunned, "Besides, there are several more sets of clothes in bright colors and textures in the closet."
Xie Lingqin looked at the mahogany wardrobe, at the neatly folded skirts and shirts, almost with happiness.
Suddenly, clearly.
"This Yu Wenyao is really too late to save." Xie Lingqin let out annoyance, but his brows were full of tenderness, and he said casually, "Just the wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress with aqua blue gold silk border .”
"Yes."
After Xie Lingqin changed her clothes, she took a quick glance, and there was a slight darkness in her eyes.
Her gaze was fixed on the box containing the bones of her mother Zongzheng Shao, her calm eyes darkened layer by layer.
In my mind, all the things I saw in the secret passage of General Xie's study yesterday, and all the things that Heipao said, suddenly flashed in my mind.
After breakfast, Xie Lingqin went to the ancestral hall of the General's Mansion.
In a gloomy courtyard, the old nanny was beating the ground, and inside, there were several memorial tablets standing there, just looking at it made people feel cold for no reason.
"Hello, mammy." Xie Lingqin walked up to the mammy and comforted her softly.
The wrinkles on the old mother's face made her look older than Lin's actual age. She raised her eyes to look at Xie Lingqin, she was gentle and peaceful, "Missy is here."
"I want to ask Mammy about my mother's life."
"When a person dies like a lamp goes out, there is nothing to ask."
The old mother gave a wry smile, and looked at Xie Lingqin, "However, Miss is in the spirit of heaven, knowing that you have grown up to be so beautiful and wise, I must be very pleased."
Xie Lingqin's eyes fell on the old nanny.
There are many gray hairs mixed in Mammy's hair. When she said this, there was a glint of light in her eyes, as if her whole body was full of hope.
Xie Lingqin didn't want to beat around the bush, and directly explained why she came here, "I know that Nanny is the closest and most trusted maid in my mother's life, so, is it true that my mother's body is buried in the tomb of the General's Mansion? "
"Whether there is a body, the old slave thought, with the young lady's ability, I can definitely find it, so why ask me?"
The old nanny caressed her face and smiled, then saluted Xie Lingqin and continued to sweep the yard with the broom.
"I see, thank you Mammy."
Xie Lingqin nodded slightly, and led Zihe out of the gate of the ancestral hall.
"Miss, someone is watching the secret prescription."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "I feel it."
"Miss you..."
Zihe was stunned, "This person's lightness skill is not weak, and the servant is also slightly aware. Miss, you have no internal strength, even if you are extremely sensitive, you still..."
Xie Lingqin shook her head, "I don't know why, it seems that the perception of surrounding things has become stronger and stronger recently, perhaps it is the result of my recent physical training."
There is no doubt that there is him in this river, "The lady, the body of the general's wife."
"It must not be in the tomb of the General's Mansion." Xie Lingqin was extremely sure, "Otherwise, according to Mammy's loyalty to my mother, she would directly deny it, but she didn't."
Therefore, the skeleton in the box in her room is really her mother's.
……
In the study of the general's mansion.
"General Xie, you are right, the eldest lady actually went to the nurse who guards the ancestral hall today to ask if the lady's body is buried in the tomb."
General Xie, who was writing something on the rice paper on the table, became serious when he heard this, "What can the old lady say?"
"General, no, Missy has no doubts either."
General Xie nodded, "Since this is the case, I am so close to this daughter, so I should be on guard, but just in case..." General Xie sighed, "This nanny has been in the General's Mansion for many years. It's time to die too."
"Yes, this subordinate knows how to do it."
……
After Xie Lingqin left the ancestral hall, she left the General's Mansion to find Xu Yiran.
She wanted to find what he wanted the man in black to leave behind.
Of course, before going out, she used the medicine Yu Wenyao left her to wipe her neck, lips, and the obvious marks that could be seen at a glance.
In the end, she still wants to save face.
Xie Lingqin didn't go directly to Huangshan Academy, but asked Tinghai to invite Xu Yiran to meet outside.
"I knew you had me in your heart." Xu Yiran was dressed in a white brocade robe and a jade belt around her waist. Today, she seemed to have a little more elegance than before.
Both fresh and pure, but also romantic and suave.
These two opposite temperaments are displayed in him, and there is no violation of harmony.
"Xu Yiran, I'm looking for you to ask for the things that the man in black asked you to give me."
Xie Lingqin avoided Xu Yiran's ambiguous words and got straight to the point.
"Oh, that's how it is. However, you don't have to be so unfamiliar with me. Next time, someone can call me and send it to you in person."
Xu Yiran's voice is very nice, like the summer wind blowing through the trees, it makes people's mind clear.
However, when he spoke to her, there was a hint of ambiguity.
And this ambiguity was so unaffected that it made Xie Lingqin feel passive and unable to push it away.
"Xu Yiran, now the city is full of wind and rain, you must have heard it, the person in my heart is the prince..."
"I know, for you, he despicably drugged me yesterday."
Xu Yiran narrated softly, without any anger or frustration, her sword-like eyebrows were relaxed, and her whole body exuded a calm and detached temperament.
Such a person turned out to be the master of the Palace of Heavenly Mysteries, which can be said to be suitable, but not quite.
Of course, Xie Lingqin heard about Xu Yiran being drugged by him yesterday from Yu Wenyao's mouth, so he didn't have much to say now, so he took a step back indiscriminately, "Then, something..."
"Come with me."
"Can't you ask someone to bring it over?"
Xie Lingqin frowned, but Xu Yiran smiled lightly at her. His stature was as tall as Yu Wenyao's. Standing in front of her, his eyes fell on her face, with a feeling of searching people's hearts.
Xie Lingqin was nervous for no reason, and subconsciously changed her words, "If not, I'll wait for you here, and you can fetch it for me."
"Xie Lingqin..."
Xu Yiran took a step forward suddenly, and Qing Ling's gaze was fixed on the bright eyes under Xie Lingqin's thick lashes.
In her eyes, the stars are shining brightly, but in him, they are right in the middle.
"Xie Lingqin, you are afraid of me."
Xu Yiran turned to a low smile, and the laughter filled the mountains like light music.
Xie Lingqin flicked his sleeves, took a step back, "No."
"do not have it?"
Xu Yiran took another step closer, and a breath as clean as snow rushed towards her face, "Are you afraid of falling in love with me?" He said.
"Master Xu, please respect yourself."
Zihe suddenly stood in front of Xie Lingqin, fully alert and full of hostility.
Xu Yiran glanced at her, shrugged innocently, then turned around, "Come with me."
Xie Lingqin's face was calm, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zihe followed after the matter.
It was still the same way as last time, but Xu Yiran did not allow Zihe to follow.
Xie Lingqin had no choice but to ask Zihe to guard by the big tree outside.
Even though Zihe was extremely unwilling, he could only obey his orders.
In the long tunnel, Xie Lingqin is no longer a stranger after having been here once.
Xu Yiran walked in front of him like this, with his robes in the silent air, following the movement of his footsteps, there was a very slight friction sound.
"Xu Yiran, if you leave your back to me like this, you won't be afraid that I will cheat on you."
Xie Lingqin said.
"I can reject anyone in this world, but I can't reject you. If you want to cheat on me, you can live or die, as you like."
Xu Yiran didn't turn her head, but Qingling's voice hit Xie Lingqin's ears verbatim.
Suddenly, Xie Lingqin's heart ached, and he choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
The two walked to the previous suspension bridge again.
This time, Xu Yiran and Xie Lingqin walked up at the same time. When Xie Lingqin walked halfway, Xu Yiran suddenly turned around, hugged Xie Lingqin vigorously, and hugged him tightly. into the arms.
Xie Lingqin instinctively refused the masculine breath of a stranger.
"Xu Yiran, do you want to die?"
"Don't move." Xu Yiran tightly held her waist, motioning her to look down.
Xie Lingqin looked down with a cold face, only to find that compared with the last time when he came here, the seemingly invisible flames under the suspension bridge were higher than the surrounding clouds and mist. At that moment, he almost jumped up. Come up and almost burn her.
"The flames have subsided, you can let me go."
Xie Lingqin vigorously pushed Xu Yiran away.
However, Xu Yiran had already retreated suddenly when she pushed her over. She looked at her leisurely and said softly, "Compared with Yu Wenyao's, who is more elegant than Yu Wenyao's?" It smells better."
Xie Lingqin's face darkened, "Shameless."
"If I'm shameless, can you fall in love with me?"
Xu Yiran was very serious.
Xie Lingqin didn't bother to pay attention to him, just missed him and walked forward, "Xu Yiran, you are the master of Tianji Palace, please don't make such jokes with me again."
"I'm serious, why don't you believe me." Xu Yiran's starry eyes slightly frowned, seemingly helpless.
Xie Lingqin took a deep breath and looked at him, "I still love Ah San next door to me, but he is a dog, do you believe it?"
"Your menstruation is delayed this month."
Xie Lingqin's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she looked back at Xu Yiran, "You..."
"I said, I love you and always care about you."
Xie Lingqin's face was darkened, and he strode forward until he jumped and ran to the flat ground beside him.
However, Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes, turned around suddenly, looked at Xu Yiran who hadn't come over yet, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, stepped forward a few steps, and yanked the suspension bridge violently and swung it desperately.
"Xu Yiran, this is toothless." Xie Lingqin's voice became colder and her strength increased.
Xu Yiran's complexion changed obviously, it seemed that she didn't expect Xie Lingqin to do this move, and she was about to move towards Xie Lingqin standing on the flat ground with her toes.
Xie Lingqin's eyes tightened, and with a flick of his wrist, the silver needle in his sleeve came out, and he went straight to Xu Yiran.
The fine silver needles struck, Xu Yiran ignored her head and tail, suddenly slipped, and fell straight down into the abyss that was still bubbling with anger.
Xie Lingqin's face was shocked, and he ran over and slipped, while climbing onto the stone wall, he just held Xu Yiran's hand, "Xu Yiran, aren't you a master of martial arts and superb lightness kung fu? Why are you so useless?"
"It was you who made the move. I will die without any regrets or complaints."
"Come up quickly, I can't hold on."
Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth, she couldn't hold it any longer, she just felt that her face was hurt by the flames below, but she saw that Xu Yiran was still as calm as a breeze, clearly hanging in the abyss, as long as Xie Lingqin let go, he could be put away In death, but calm.
"It is said that if you like someone, you will treat him like this. So, Xie Lingqin, do you like me so you deliberately tease me?"
"Xu Yiran, if you say one more word, I will let you go."
"If you're willing, let it go."
"You... come up to me."
Xie Lingqin was furious, and almost gave an order. When the words fell, Xu Yiran touched her toes on the cliff and made a beautiful spin in the air. At the same time, she hugged Xie Lingqin's waist tightly, and the two of them landed on the ground easily.
As soon as Xie Lingqin pushed him away, Xu Yiran tightly pulled Xie Lingqin forward as soon as he landed, the two stuck so close.
"Xu Yiran, let go, I'll only say it once."
"Your lips are so beautiful." Xu Yiran suddenly raised her hand to caress Xie Lingqin's black hair, and tilted her head slightly, but when she was a few millimeters away from Xie Lingqin, her eyes dimmed, "You are so cruel. "
"The reason why I held you to prevent you from falling is because you haven't given me the black robe, that's all."
Xie Lingqin's voice was as cold as ice.
"I'll be sad if you're so unfeeling." Xu Yiran let go of her hands, flicked her sleeves, and walked forward.
But under the rosy clouds, Xie Lingqin's blue hair fluttered, and he secretly tightened the dagger that had been pressed against Xu Yiran's waist just now, pulled it back into his sleeve, and followed.
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
This time I didn't enter the gate of Tianji Temple, a black-clothed guard appeared, and handed a book to Xu Yiran respectfully, "This is what the Hall Master wants."
Xu Yiran didn't answer, but nodded, motioning for the other party to pass it to Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin took the booklet, glanced at Xu Yiran again, put it in his sleeve immediately, "Farewell."
The words fell, and he walked without stopping.
Xu Yiran gave a wry smile, and then followed.
Outside the secret passage, Zihe waited anxiously, just like her, Tinghai also looked anxious.
"Tell me, will Miss be abducted by Mr. Xu?" Hearing the sea was very worried.
Zihe glanced at him, "How could it be, the young lady only has the prince in her heart."
"But……"
Ting Hai scratched his head, "Of course I have absolute confidence in the prince. In the whole world, there is no one else who can be better than the prince, but this young master Xu just feels weird. The young lady is indifferent to him, but compared To others, it’s considered polite.”
Hearing this, Zihe's face darkened for no reason, and he said, "Before now, Miss has never been so polite to Mr. Xuanyuan."
"Yeah, you should also feel that..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, you are here to worry about it."
Zi He gave Ting Hai a blank look, then stopped talking, and Gu Zi looked at the entrance again.
"Hey, tell me, there's nothing unusual here, so why do we have to come here to inspect it?"
"Who knows, anyway, we will do what the above say."
Ahead, behind the dense jungle, there are conversations coming from far and near.
Zihe and Tinghai looked at each other and immediately disappeared.
After a while, two men in military uniforms came over.
The two found a place and unbuttoned their pants.
"Hey, it's convenient here."
"Okay, but speaking of it, I seem to have heard that the deputy general passed by this time a few days ago and felt that something was a little strange here. He was busy at the time, and then I remembered that he asked us to check it from time to time these few days. "
The man sighed comfortably while talking, and then lifted his pants.
"No, look, the soil here seems to be looser than the ones next to it..."
The other man who was pulling up his pants frowned, then squatted down, and waved to his companion who was turning around to leave, "Look, look, it looks like..."
"hit."
With a soft sound, the two men fainted immediately.
On the side, a big tree whirled, and the secret door leading to the Palace of Heavenly Secrets slowly opened, Xu Yiran and Xie Lingqin stood there.
At the same time, Zihe and Tinghai who were hidden in the dark immediately appeared.
"What's the use of knocking them out."
Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Yiran, clearly disapproving of his actions.
Xu Yiran stepped forward unhurriedly, with a smile on her slender lips, "Then, let them forget about it."
While speaking, Xu Yiran raised her hand, caressing the foreheads of the two, closed her eyes and twisted her mind, a light mist seemed to pass between the light brows, after a while, Xu Yiran withdrew her hand, and whispered into the dark place, "The old rules."
"Yes."
At that moment, someone appeared in the air and took the two men down.
"I remember, last time at Miss Lanxiang's house, you said that you know illusion." Xie Lingqin said, "So, you were using illusion on them just now to make them forget what happened just now."
"Exactly." Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin gently, "Do you still remember the day when Miss Lanxiang lay on the bed, you and I..."
"So, after all these years, it's not that no one has discovered this place. It's just that you have dealt with them in this way, making them lose this part of their memory." Xie Lingqin interrupted Xu Yiran, and said.
Xu Yiran didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she gathered her slender fingers together and put them into her sleeves.
Xie Lingqin was a little dazed.
Why, when Xu Yiran used illusion on those two men just now, that movement, that posture, and that strong arm made her feel so familiar.
It was as if she had done this to others before, or someone else had done this to her.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and frowned, but she was sure that there was no fragmented memory in her mind. "
Moreover, she remembered that the prince can also perform illusions.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xie Lingqin's emotions were brought into his eyes, and Xu Yiran's eyes had a flash of light, and then he retracted his eyes.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Only then did Zihe step forward and speak, extremely concerned.
Xie Lingqin signaled her not to worry, and then said, "Let's go back to the city."
"Yes."
Watching Xie Lingqin's leaving back, a trace of melancholy gradually appeared on Xu Yiran's face.
"Hallmaster."
"Tell me, how can I capture a woman's heart?" Xu Yiran looked at the man in black who appeared beside him, sighing and feeling disappointed.
The visitor didn't know what to answer, so he paused and cupped his hands, "Hall Master, Miss Luwu is back."
When Xu Yiran heard this, her face became serious, "Then?"
"He went to the barbarians and confronted Yi Shizi head-on. Yi Shizi was superior and won the antidote."
The person who came was talking, looking a little frustrated.
Xu Yiran was not too surprised, instead she smiled lightly, "How could Yu Wenyao let me show courteousness in front of Qin'er, heh... Tell Luwu, it's okay, the antidote left and right is for Qin'er."
"Yes."
……
At this time, the prince's mansion.
In the peaceful and elegant study room, a figure passed through the eaves, pasted the window lattice, landed in the room, and then picked up a pot of tea on the table and poured it into his mouth.
Yu Wenyao was sitting behind the desk at this time, dealing with a tall stack of letters. He looked up, then lowered his head, and processed the letters in his hand for review.
"Hey, anyway, I've had a hard time here, and you don't want to say anything nice, please care about me."
Yu Qingyi put the kettle down, wiped her lips, sat on the chair, crossed her legs.
"When did you see me say something nice?" Yu Wenyao's voice was flat.
Yu Qingyi curled her lips, "I see that you can say anything to Xie Lingqin, my sister Qin, and I also heard that you stayed in his boudoir last night."
"Well, if you want, I can also arrange a boudoir for you."
"have to--"
Yu Qingyi took a few steps and stepped back, "I don't want it, um, I got the antidote."
"You sent a message earlier, said."
"However, in this fight with the Temple of Heaven's Mystery, that green girl is pretty good..." Yu Qingyi rubbed her chin, as if she had paid attention to it. "
Yu Wenyao nodded, but after a while, he raised his deep eyes and looked at Yu Qingyi, "Duanyang didn't beat you up when he saw you like this?"
"How dare she—"
"She doesn't dare. The Nanqi princess behind her probably dares."
"Shh!"
Yu Qingyi immediately silenced, and looked around cautiously, "I always feel that Nan Fenghuang's ears are in all directions. This time when I went to the barbarians, she actually went too."
"There should be more than these people."
"Of course, there are people from the Palace of Hades." Yu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "It seems that they are all very interested in this antidote."
"Bring it." Yu Wenyao stretched out his hand, "The antidote."
"Brick." Yu Qingyi raised his brows, and handed over a jade-colored vial, "Hey, I'm really tempted brother, don't kiss me, anyway, I'm going out this trip, it's a narrow escape, don't say it Thank you, and reward."
"In one month, the emperor will give Xie Lingqin a marriage. All countries will come, so your phoenix will also come. Is this a reward?"
Yu Wenyao said suddenly.
The smile on Yu Qingyi's face faltered, "A marriage? I haven't even entered the city yet, and I heard that you and Xie Lingqin are hand in hand. It's a match made in heaven. At this time, the emperor will give you a marriage?"
"Well, I just came out of the palace an hour ago." Yu Wenyao looked at Yu Qingyi with deep phoenix eyes, "Say, do I want to refuse?"
Yu Qingyi's face was dark.
Of course you can't refuse.
To refuse is to invite a killer for Xie Lingqin, so...
"So, the person who will marry her must be me."
Yu Wenyao tapped his finger on the table, the self-confidence and certainty at this moment, like a smear of light, made Yu Qingyi almost feel sacred.
He knows that once he decides something, no one can change it, except that he can change it himself.
"Yu Wenyao."
With Yu Qingyi's frivolous temperament, it is rare for him to get serious and call him by his name.
"I still can't understand, why are you so moved by your heart and love... A you who have never had a heart, unexpectedly..."
"I don't know when I fell in love with her."
It seems that when Yu Wenyao mentioned Xie Lingqin, his eyes were tinged with brilliance, and his voice was extremely gentle, "I am willing to fall for her."
Yu Qingyi slammed her mouth, "Didn't you say before, take advantage of it?"
"That was back then, now..." Yu Wenyao smiled, "If you can't use her, then let her take advantage of you."
Yuwen Yao's cloud is calm and clear, but only Yu Qingyi knows what kind of storms such a sentence will cause this man who looks like a god in front of him.
"However, you said Nan Fenghuang would come too... Oh my God!"
Yu Qingyi didn't know whether she was happy or worried, so she ran away.
……
Dong Lao's mansion.
Xie Lingqin and Zihe fell into Elder Dong's mansion in twos and down to the medicine garden where he usually lives.
Elder Dong was distributing herbs, when he saw Xie Lingqin approaching, he immediately blew his beard and stared, "What are you doing here again?"
"Is Elder Dong too happy to see me?"
"Walk around, I'm not happy, seeing you has a headache."
Xie Lingqin refused to leave, took a step forward, and took out from his sleeve the silk handkerchief that was wrapped with poisonous arrows in the rice egg in General Xie's study yesterday, "Mr. Dong, can you take a look at this for me and analyze it for me?" What are the ingredients of the poison on it?"
Elder Dong took it with a frown, looked at Xie Lingqin, "Where did you make trouble?"
"It's a very mysterious place. I've studied it, but I can't guess the ingredients of the poison inside, so I want to ask you for help."
Dong Laofei rolled his eyes, "I never do useless things."
"I know, I will treat you to a drink some other day, to drink Peach Blossom Snow."
"Ten altars."
"no problem."
Xie Lingqin was a little funny, thinking that this old man is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
but……
"Old Dong, I came to you the day before yesterday, why are you a little angry with me?"
"angry?"
"Isn't Mr. Dong so old that his memory has faded?"
Elder Dong twisted his hands, "Of course I am angry, old man. You have dragged old man Qi into accounting. No one will accompany me to play this game."
"Oh, fine, then I'll give Elder Qi another day off and let him come and accompany you."
Elder Dong hummed, obviously agreeing.
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she took Zihe away.
As for Dong Lao's mansion, Dong Lao was staring at the imprint on the silk handkerchief, and after a while, he was going to smell it, when a slender jade-like hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the silk handkerchief away.
Elder Dong suddenly raised his head, "Too... aren't you the prince?"
Someone came forward and covered Elder Dong's mouth.
……
After Xie Lingqin left Dong's Mansion, she did not go back to the General's Mansion, but Nie Zui'er sent a message asking her to go there.
Although it was only a few figures, Xie Lingqin knew that Ning Xiucai had finally made a move.
Nie Zui'er seemed to have learned the truth.
"Miss." In the air, Ming Lan suddenly appeared.
"As you expected, General Xie really did something to the old lady guarding the ancestral hall. However, his subordinates have already rescued the old lady by pretending to be fake, and now they put her in the world."
Xie Lingqin nodded, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, "This father is really my good father." Since then, he looked at Minglan, "You take a good look at her, I will go to Fuyue Casino."
"Yes, but there is one more thing, Miss. In recent days, the Hall of Fame has taken over some things."
"Leave this matter to you, Tianxing and the others."
"Miss Hui, we get along well and everything is fine."
Xie Lingqin was very relieved, "Then you go back and give him a message, just say, let him and his brothers get ready, it will probably take a few days before you have to exercise your muscles and bones."
Although Minglan didn't understand, she didn't ask any further questions, and immediately withdrew.
……
Fuyue Casino.
The fact that Nie Zui'er was arrested and imprisoned a few days ago has long since disappeared, and everything has returned to normal. After the crown prince rescued Nie Zui'er, the fifth princess never came to Fuyue Casino to trouble her again.
At this time, the hall was full of people, betting big and small, Xie Lingqin nodded to the guards in the hall, and took Zihe to the back hall quietly.
The back hall was full of lifeless anger, which seemed to make people more mournful than the death of Nie Zui'er's father that day.
In the room at the end of the corridor, the door was wide open.
Bai Yuzheng was standing outside the door with his head drooping. He was not at all interested when he saw Xie Lingqin coming.
Inside the room, Ning Xiucai was kneeling on the ground with thorns on his back. In front of him, Nie Zui'er was staring at the mahogany table with hatred and anger in his eyes with a pale complexion.
"Today, if you want to kill or cut, I will listen to Miss Nie."
Ning Xiucai regretted and was in pain.
Before getting to know Xie Lingqin, he was pedantic, and once made shameless criticisms of Nie Zui'er's indiscretion and unrestrained behavior, and he regarded her as a scourge in his heart.
However, one day, when someone told him that he caused an innocent aunt to become like this, the pain in his heart would be more than a thousand times.
Xie Lingqin swung Zihe back and stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or leave.
In fact, she is not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Similarly, she has never experienced it, so even if she can understand Nie Zui'er, she can't empathize with her.
"Hey!"
Xie Lingqin sighed lightly.
"Xie Lingqin, tell me, how should I deal with this person in front of me?"
Finally, Nie Zui'er raised her head, looking at Xie Lingqin at the door with her slender phoenix eyes, her eyes were full of clues, perhaps even more desperate than when she was insulted that day.
"I……"
Xie Lingqin said a word, but she really didn't know what to say, so she closed her mouth lightly, then turned around, took a step back, and leaned against the door, her eyes jumped long.
"Ning Xiucai, if you die, you will have more than a crime. I will help you take care of those children. I think Liu Yunzhou will do the same."
Xie Lingqin only said this, and then stopped talking.
In other words, she doesn't care about this matter, even if Ning Xiucai is her accountant, she doesn't care.
However, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
"Shh-"
Inside the house, the sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh made everyone's scalp tingle when they heard it.
Ning Xiucai wailed in pain.
Xie Lingqin's brows did not move, while Bai Yu watched Nie Zui'er's face in pain.
This kind of sadness, complexity, darkness and tugging is difficult to describe in words.
"get out."
Then, with Nie Zui'er's roar, Ning Xiucai was thrown out and fell heavily on the ground.
Nie Zui'er came out right after her and looked at Ning Xiucai, "From now on, we will never owe each other, and we will not mention the past."
Nie Zui'er finished speaking and closed the door.
Bai Yu looked at the closed door, and seemed to want to knock on it, but finally didn't have the courage to go down.
"Nie Zui'er is not an ordinary woman. At this time, I need you."
Xie Lingqin looked at Baiyu's rare seriousness, then called Zihe, helped Ning Xiucai up, and left Fuyue Casino.
Bai Yu was stunned for a long time before pushing the door open and entering the room.
As soon as they entered the room, a fiery kiss suddenly struck.
……
Throwing Ning Xiucai on the bed, bandaging his wounds, Xie Lingqin asked Ning Xiucai and the older children to fetch medicine, gave instructions, and then left.
Today's knife, in fact, more or less relieved most of Xie Lingqin's worries.
If Nie Zui'er doesn't make a break with Ning Xiucai, then she will definitely become someone else's provocation.
As for these two people, she hoped that they would live in peace, at least not be enemies.
Speaking of it, she is selfish.
But she knew that Nie Ben'er not only had the feelings of the world, but also knew how to weigh the situation, otherwise, she would make Ning Xiucai's life worse than death.
"Sister, the father you mentioned comes here every day and wants me to go back to the house. Should I go?"
Ning Yi sent Xie Lingqin to the door, muttering softly.
Xie Lingqin patted his head, "Then, do you want to go to the General's Mansion?"
Ning Yi was silent, thinking with a small face, and then said, "I want to be with my sister, I can protect my sister."
"Then you believe in sister, you are the safest here."
Xie Lingqin's voice was gentle.
Once Ning Yi enters the General's Mansion, all kinds of remarks, unintentional and deliberate ridicule will make the child feel strange.
And he was originally mentally deficient, if he was accidentally used by someone with a heart, it would be harm to him.
Ning Yi reluctantly sent Xie Lingqin away, then turned around and closed the courtyard door.
……
"Miss, Ning is too dependent on you."
"Yes, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Xie Lingqin rubbed the center of her brows, suddenly feeling powerless.
"Hey, miss, look at the front, is it the girl Lanxiang you mentioned that day?"
Zihe suddenly pointed to a woman walking on the bustling street ahead.
Xie Lingqin looked up, his eyes were slightly dazed.
Lan Xiang is indeed Lan Wu, but she is no longer the Lan Xiang she saw that day.
Dressed plainly, without makeup, her hair tied back casually, like the daughter of an ordinary family, carrying a basket, obviously shopping for something on the street.
That's right, I heard Suanpizi say that she might be a good person.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Lanxiang?"
Suddenly, a salty pig's hand grabbed Lan Xiang's hand that was stretching out to pay the money.
Lan Xiang immediately struggled back, "Mr. Hao."
"I heard, are you in good health?"
"um, yes."
Lan Xiang looked at the man's fat and lustful eyes, backed away again, clearly wanted to get angry, but was afraid of offending the other party, so she tried her best to bear it.
"Well, today, you are free. I have never had the chance to sleep in your bed. I think about it closely."
Behind the man, several guards also stepped forward, looking at Lan Xiang with malicious intent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hao, I've already given up. Please don't come to me again in the future."
Lan Xiang slightly turned sideways, trying to walk past the surrounding of several men.
"Hey, let me tell you, this prostitute is a prostitute. Practice makes perfect anyway. If I pay more money, I won't be able to go through the back door..."
"Back door, back door, hahaha."
Beside the man, the guards immediately smirked.
Lan Xiang has been in the romantic place for so many years, and she also knows how to avoid trouble. For a person like her, if she wants to completely clean up her crimes, she must not be able to do so, so she can only endure.
"Mr. Hao, the little girl really has something else to do. Let me leave."
Lan Xiang wanted to slip away, but it was obvious that the other party had made up his mind not to let her go. Looking at Lan Xiang's eyes, his eyes almost fell off.
"Master Hao, it's not good for you to be like this."
"What's wrong, why are you still playing hard to get?"
"Mr. Hao, if you continue to pester me like this, I will have to report to the police."
Lan Xiang knew that she couldn't leave, the flattering smile on her face suddenly faded, and there was anger in her voice.
"Yo, see if you can, come and take her away for me."
"You let me go."
"stop."
Outside the crowd, there was a shout.
Mr. Hao didn't even look at who it was. He rubbed his chin and turned around, "Who dares to tell this young master to stop... Ah, Lord Liu."
dark place.
Xie Lingqin told Zihe, "Let's go."
"Miss, what about me?"
It was Suanpizi's voice, he had just appeared in the past, and he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Xie Louqin.
This is a busy city, if he uses force to attack, it will only bring more troubles to Lan Xiang.
This is good, there is Liu Yunzhou, the dignified doctor of the imperial history.
Mr. Hao...
He dares.
"Have you heard? It is said that Miss Li has woken up to the cause of Mr. Li's death. She was not just killed by someone. It is said that she was bewitched."
"real……"
"It's just news from the Jingzhao Mansion."
Not far away, Xie Lingqin's face darkened.
Li Junru died of being poisoned?
how is this possible.
That day, she was the first to come into contact with the corpse, and apart from the brutal killing, there was clearly no sign of being infected by a Gu.
"Miss, I'm afraid there is something weird in it."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "Let's go and have a look."
"Yes."
