Xiao Yuehuai tensed up all night, her eyes only focused on Emperor Zhou and Empress Zhou and Lin Bujing, but did not pay attention to Lu Pingsheng's movements. At this moment, he suddenly jumped out, which caught her off guard and shocked her.
After thinking about it carefully, she was sure and certain... Lu Pingsheng was just a bystander at the Qushan Banquet in his previous life, and did not participate in the Yeping incident, nor did he make any suggestions for searching the mountain.
Moreover, the three departments held a joint trial and concluded that the assassination of Kong Qingyuan was also carried out by the Yeping thieves. At that time, Lu Pingsheng had no objection.
Why did he say at this time that these two groups of people were not accomplices?
Xiao Yuehuai was silent for a long time. She glanced at Su Ying beside her and found that he was also listening to Lu Pingsheng's words. I saw him crossing his arms in front of his body, his palms hanging down and gently rubbing the edges of his clothes, seeming a little nervous.
Xiao Yuehuai felt strange: Could it be that Lu Pingsheng's abnormal behavior was related to Su Ying? Could this be why he hid his injuries?
She hid her suspicion and continued to pay attention to the actions of these two people.
Emperor Zhou moved his eyes slightly and cast a deep gaze on Lu Pingsheng: "It is time to conduct a thorough investigation. In this case, I will allow you to lead 30 people from the Forbidden Army and 30 people from the Silver Armored Guards to search, and the murderer must be captured. I want to let you Look at the consequences of hurting Huaicheng!"
Lu Pingsheng accepted the order and said: "I obey the order!"
When he raised his head, he looked at Su Ying intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes full of teasing.
Xiao Yuehuai saw all this and became increasingly puzzled: What happened between the two people?
The night dew is heavy.
After Zitang Hall calmed down, it became empty.
In the empty green garden, Su Ying took off his ink robe, leaned on the couch and applied medicine for himself. The blood had stained his clothes so much that the original lines were invisible. He endured the severe pain as the medicine seeped into the wound and bandaged it laboriously. Veins popped up on his forehead, beads of sweat hung on his brows and slid down his cheeks, dripping on the bright red areas of his arms. A sudden stinging pain made him shiver.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Yuehuai's voice fell through the paper window into his ears: "Su Ying, are you okay? Can I come in?"
She asked in a deliberately soft voice.
Su Ying put on his coat to cover the wound, and quickly tidied up: "Princess...the door is not bolted."
Xiao Yuehuai opened the door carefully, and when she smelled the smell of blood, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She walked in quietly, closed the door gently, and then turned to look at the bed.
An oil lamp was lit in the innermost part of the room, which would just shine on Lang Jun, pulling his shadow into a straight line. Su Ying took off the jade crown and hairpin, and now his long hair was scattered on the quilt, lazily and casually.
Xiao Yuehuai got closer and closer.
He propped up one arm, barely raised his body and leaned towards the direction she came from.
Under the candlelight, this man's skin and lips were pale and he was very weak.
Xiao Yuehuai felt a pain in her heart and said with pity in her eyes: "The wound on your shoulder has opened again, hasn't it?"
Su Ying lowered his eyes and shook his head in denial: "No."
Xiao Yuehui: "Do you think I can't hear it? There is so much blood in the room? You still say you don't have it? Su Ying...you really don't take your body seriously!"
She was a little angry and cursed, then walked over and sat down beside the bed, reaching out to take off his clothes.
Su Ying immediately dodged, and Xiao Yuehuai's hand paused in mid-air, not knowing whether to close it or release it.
A layer of blush quickly covered her face. She was embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "I, I just want to see your injury, don't get me wrong... If something happens to you, who will protect our territory in Great Zhou?"
Seeing the princess's face flushed and her head lowered, Su Ying thought about it for a while, then silently took off her clothes, half-naked in front of her, and said softly and gently: "Princess, look here. My wounds have all been bandaged."
Xiao Yuehuai raised her eyes and saw blood oozing out of the gauze tied around his shoulder under the dim light. She couldn't help but feel a sore nose: "Your wound seems to be more serious? Do you really not want to ask the imperial doctor for consultation? What if you lose money?" What should I do?"
Su Ying: "Princess, rest assured, this injury will not be serious for the time being."
Xiao Yuehuai stared at him, feeling suddenly annoyed. She wanted to ask him why he tried so hard to hide his injuries, but she knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't get the correct answer.
Suddenly feeling depressed, she turned her head and stared at the flickering candle shadow by the window, sighing softly: "Okay. Since you feel fine, I won't waste any more words on you."
She was among the people Su Ying tried his best to hide. After all, Xiao Yuehuai was still disappointed.
She has never been able to clearly see or figure out Su Ying's attitude towards her.
In terms of loyalty, he pretended not to know that she was the one who kicked him into the water at Ye Jinwu River in front of her, which sounded a bit like a conspiracy; in terms of use, he repeatedly ignored the danger of his life to save her from danger; He said he was happy, but he kept her away from her thousands of miles away, wrapping himself up airtight.
She got up and left the house, stood on the porch for a long time while enjoying the cool breeze, and finally calmed down completely. Thinking about it carefully, how could she have the position and qualifications to judge Su Ying's fault. She also kept many things from him, so why ask others to be honest?
Moreover, although they are husband and wife, they have no emotional foundation, so there is no need for such unreasonable discouragement and irritation.
After thinking carefully, Xiao Yuehuai brushed away the annoyance in his heart and weighed the pros and cons again.
Su Ying is full of contradictions. To her, she is both a dangerous existence and a place of refuge where she can temporarily stay. Although it is unclear what will happen to them in the future, at least it is controllable now.
Xiao Yuehuai walked towards his private room at the end of the verandah.
A Lu came over in a hurry, pulled her into the house anxiously, and said mysteriously: "Princess... didn't you just ask me to find someone to keep an eye on the general and Xun Chong?"
"The people under his command reported that since the Qu Shang Banquet started, Xun Chong sneaked down the mountain and went to the rock pile on the hillside. They saw Xun Chong leading two people from there, a man and a woman dressed as civilians. They seemed Still a little injured.”
Xiao Yuehuai's eyes were surprised: "Is there still this thing? Then what? Where is Xun Chong now?"
A Lu: "It's something strange here. It seems that a wave of men in black are chasing them. Xun Chong took people to hide in Maolin to the east. The people who originally followed them have lost their way. Who would have thought Lu Sanlang suddenly appeared with several Imperial Guards and Silver Armored Guards, forcing Xun Chong and the others into a desperate situation."
She exclaimed: "What?!"
"Why did Lu Pingsheng chase them?"
A Lu frowned and said, "I guess they thought they were the thieves who assassinated you..."
Xiao Yuehuai lowered her eyes and pondered: Could it be that the man and woman protected by Xun Chong are the real targets of the Kong Qingyuan assassin? Was assassinating her just a way to confuse the public?
She carefully recalled the situation at that time. When Su Ying appeared, he was covered in blood. It seemed that he had fought with others elsewhere...
The more Xiao Yuehuai thought about it, the more suspicious she became - it seemed that Su Ying's injuries were not all caused by her?
