Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 223
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Mei couldn't help raising her head, just in time to meet Zeng Yu's searching eyes, Su Mei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, and said, "Master Zeng."

The night was getting deeper, the wind was about to pick up, the rain was still pattering, and the air was full of mud.

Su Mei sat alone in front of the table, the not-so-bright candles were constantly beating and moving under the breeze.

She suffered from insomnia because of a word from the genius doctor Zeng Yu during the day: He went to the Wind Chime Garden just for you.

At first she didn't understand why he said that, but when she saw her injured ankle, she suddenly realized: No wonder it's such a coincidence, if he hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have just sprained her ankle this time, but, What is he for, why does he save me over and over again?Is it just for that paper contract?
Shang Junyuan was also insomniac and did not fall asleep. Although Concubine Yu had told him everything, he was still not sure of the identity of the man in black, especially the leader of the Qianjin Killing Organization, who was he?

Dong dong dong, the door was knocked in all this.

The cold words sounded: "Who?"

"it's me."

"Come in."

The man said: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Shang Junyuan looked at him sternly, and said, "Aren't you the same?"

"No, I'm different from you. I was studying the medical book left by my master. When I came out to go to the toilet, I saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came to have a look."

Zeng Yu came to the table and sat down, then asked, "By the way, it's so late, what are you up to?"

Shang Junyuan remained silent, rubbing the jade pendant in his hand in a daze.

Only then did Zeng Yu see the jade pendant in his hand, isn't this the jade pendant that An Ming brought back a few days ago?Have no idea yet?
Zeng Yu coughed lowly, and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you go to rest early, I'm leaving."

"Do you know Qianjinsha?"

Hearing this, Zeng Yu put her raised footsteps back on the ground, and looked back at him: "I heard a little bit, it is said that the emperor of Longyu Kingdom sent troops to wipe out it a year ago. What's the matter? Could it be that he reappeared recently? Are you in the rivers and lakes?"

"do not know."

"I don't know? Could it be that you were hunted down by someone? The other party is the so-called Qianjin Killer?" Zeng Yu leaned over and asked in a low voice in surprise.

Seeing the astonishment and shock on Zeng Yu's face, Shang Junyuan had the urge to photograph her.

"No." Shang Junyuan said these two words coldly, and his face turned livid.

"Oh, then why did you bring up Qianjinsha today?"

Shang Junyuan gave him a cold look, and said: "I suspect that the leader of Qianjin Kill is not dead, and is now hiding in Shanghuang Country."

"Just because of this jade pendant in your hand?" Zeng Yu said as he glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, because the two of them were as close as brothers, so Shang Junyuan didn't hide anything about the jade pendant from him.

"It's not just this. Although Concubine Yu didn't say anything clearly, I'm sure that the leader of Qianjin Kill is not only not dead, but also has the possibility of making a comeback. What's more, this time"

However, before Shang Junyuan finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"My lord, my lord."

"what's up?"

"It's not good, something happened to Fenglingyuan." The guard standing outside the door said anxiously.

The two looked at each other, then got up and walked quickly to the door, asking, "What happened?"

"Reporting to my lord, when my subordinate was on patrol at night after get off work, I vaguely saw a black figure flying towards the wind chime garden. I was a little puzzled in my heart, so I couldn't help but followed me to the wind chime garden, but I haven't waited for my subordinate to enter the wind chime garden. , I heard the side concubine's scream, and then my subordinates quickly rushed over with the master, but when the subordinates and others rushed in, they saw the man in black trying to stab the side concubine with a sword, and the subordinates and others shouted As soon as the assassin was caught, the man in black fled in a hurry, while the side concubine fainted in the yard, her lips were bruised, as if she had been poisoned." The guard said respectfully.

"When did it happen?" Shang Junyuan asked coldly.

"About a quarter of an hour ago."

"Take me over there to have a look."

"Yes."

Su Mei was about to get up, but she saw that the lights outside were brightly lit, and various voices were heard continuously, as if something important had happened.

"Miss?" Qing'er stood outside the door and shouted respectfully.

"Come in."

"Miss, seeing that you haven't rested yet, this servant specially cooked white fungus and lotus seed porridge for you."

Seeing that she was not in a hurry, nor in a hurry, nor panicked, Su Mei looked very calm, completely free from outside interference, and became suspicious in her heart.

Su Mei nodded and asked, "Do you know what happened outside? Why are there more guards suddenly?"

"The servant is not very clear, but the servant heard that an assassin came to the mansion not long ago."

"assassin?"

"Yes." As she spoke, she put the white fungus and lotus seed porridge on the table.

Her answer was too calm, not like what an ordinary maid could show at all. Su Mei couldn't help but look at this maid again. If there was really an assassin, why was she so calm, as if nothing happened? Moreover, she just put down When picking up the porcelain bowl, she seemed to see thick calluses on the palms of her hands, which were not made by doing rough work at all, but more like holding a sword and practicing swords all year round.Could it be that she knows martial arts?Isn't she just a maid?
Thinking of this, Su Mei suddenly raised her eyes to look at her, but at this moment Qing'er was also turning to look at her, the moment their eyes met, both of them were taken aback.

"Miss, this white fungus and lotus seed porridge is still hot, eat something while it's hot, and go to bed early." Qing'er said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, please bring it here for me."

"Yes." As she spoke, Qing'er picked up the porridge and handed it to her with both hands.

Su Mei looked at her, and deliberately retracted her hand a little when she took it, but the porridge did not fall to the ground as she expected, and the hot porridge was spilled. one place.

Seeing this situation, Qing'er immediately knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "This servant deserves to die, this servant didn't do it on purpose, please punish me!"

"Get up, it's not your fault, it's my carelessness, it's just that I didn't catch it."

Qing'er hurriedly picked up the debris on the ground, and said: "Miss, this servant will bring you another bowl."

"No need Qing'er, I'm not hungry, you go down first, I'm going to rest, I'll save these for tomorrow." Su Mei stood up very tiredly, and said lightly.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Looking at the back of Qing'er leaving, Su Mei couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly. Just now, at the moment when she deliberately let go, she clearly saw Qing'er reflexively wanting to use martial arts to catch the bowl of lotus seed porridge. But she didn't expect that in the next second, she withdrew her hand and let the porridge fall on the ground. Could it be that she saw my intention?

It's just that no matter what it is, she is here to take care of herself, and she has no intention of harming herself.

Suddenly, Su Mei remembered what Zeng Yu said during the day again. He said: Shang Junyuan went to the Wind Bell Garden because of her, and Qing'er was sent by the housekeeper. Could it be that Qing'er was also arranged by him on purpose? The purpose of being by my side is to protect me?
Su Mei just felt that her idea was too unbelievable. How could the ice cube man care about others?

It wasn't until the lights in the room went out that Qing'er came out from the darkness. She stared at Su Mei's room. She knew that Su Mei was suspicious of her, but even so, she couldn't reveal her identity.In fact, just now, there was a man in black passing by here, and if it wasn't for the mechanism in the green bamboo forest, the man in black would have taken Su Mei away long ago. She could tell that the man's skill was not enough. under her master.She couldn't deny that the man in black was probably the same person who broke into the Wind Bell Garden at night, and she had to protect her safety.

But at this time, the Wind Bell Garden was in a mess, and everyone was panicked because of the assassin's intrusion just now.

When Shang Junyuan arrived, what he saw was this messy scene, no matter whether it was a servant girl or a servant, they were kneeling on the ground trembling, no one dared to step forward to take a look at Concubine Yu.

Seeing Shang Junyuan's arrival, everyone was so frightened that they lost half their lives. No matter how unfavored this side concubine Yu is, she is still Princess Shangyu of the Dragon Feather Kingdom. If something really happened, wouldn't they all follow along? Funeral?
"How about it?"

Zeng Yu looked away from Concubine Yu: "It doesn't look like there is any obvious trauma, it seems to be poisoned."

"Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

"It's not clear yet, further investigation is needed."

Seeing that both of them were lost in thought, Butler Li couldn't help but said to the maids and servants kneeling on the ground, "You carry the side concubine into the room."

"Yes." After speaking, several people stood up, lifted Concubine Yu tremblingly, and walked towards the room.

"None of you are allowed to reveal a word about what happened tonight."

"Yes."

After speaking, Butler Li followed into the room.

Shang Junyuan watched Zeng Yu treat Concubine Yu with a livid expression. What happened tonight was so sudden that he was caught off guard.

"Sure enough, he was poisoned. Fortunately, it's just an ordinary poison. But." Zeng Yu let go of Concubine Yu's wrist, stood up and said to Shang Junyuan.

"But what." Shang Junyuan waved his sleeves, butler Li understood, and led everyone out of the room.

In an instant, only the two of them were left in the room.

Zeng Yu asked looking at him, and asked seriously: "Are you lucky enough to be a side concubine?"

"Never."

"you sure?"

Seeing Shang Junyuan's face getting paler, Zeng Yu said no more, "She is pregnant."

When Shang Junyuan heard this, his pupils tightened suddenly, and he said, "Maybe we can keep this child?"

Shang Junyuan's words surprised Zeng Yu. He knew that Shang Junyuan didn't love her, let alone touch her, but no matter who he was, even if he didn't love her, he would never allow his wife and concubine to back him up. So generous?How about keeping that person's child?
"Are you crazy? This is not your child!" Zeng Yu said in a low voice, her tone full of disbelief.

"This king knows that this king ordered you to keep this child. It is for my own use." After finishing speaking, Shang Junyuan turned and walked out of the room.

Zeng Yu knew that he was serious, and he said that in the end even his nickname became the king. It seems that this child is indeed very useful, and he can only follow suit. He is also very curious. Now, who will the child in Concubine Yu's arms be?

After a night of hard work, the poison on Concubine Yu's body was finally cured. Seeing Concubine Yu's complexion gradually turning rosy, Zeng Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He got up and stretched his waist, then turned and walked out of the room.

He needs to go back and get a good night's sleep. He was really exhausted this night. He boiled medicine, acupuncture, and detoxification. He went back, which more or less made him feel a little unbalanced.He planned to go to the study before catching up on sleep.

But when Zeng Yu walked to the study with great interest, he realized that Shang Junyuan was not in the room. The room was completely empty, and even the quilts in the inner room were neatly folded, and he didn't bother at all. past traces.
