Chapter 248

In the middle of the night, there was a fire in the Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of war. The patrolling watchmen and officers and soldiers found that the fire was out of control.

Early the next morning, after the fire was put out, the officers and soldiers dug up a burned man's body in a pile of blackened ruins.

The body of the male corpse lay straight, his hands crossed in front of him, tightly holding a spirit burned so that he could hardly see words. It didn't look like he had experienced the pain of burning fire.

When he came to the autopsy, he found a gold edged jade pendant with tiger pattern on the man's body.

The identity of this strange man's body is finally clear.

At the same time, a maid came to the gate of the general's house and said to the guard: "the maid came by my childe's order and gave it to Mrs. Xiao."

Who doesn't know that Mrs. Xiao is dead. At this juncture, things come to the door to scold.

Two bodyguards were about to blast people away. One of the bodyguards caught a glimpse of his general and General Chen coming out of the room. He told his general what his maid had just said.

Xiao Jingyue, dressed in plain clothes, was so cold that she didn't have a trace of emotion. Her caressing eyes fell on the maid and frowned gently.

Chen Linye walked slowly to the maid, looked at the box in her arms and asked, "who is your son?"

The maid replied, "it's Li chenxuan, childe Li."

Chen Linye asked again, "what is in this box?"

The maidservant replied, "frost grass in the sky."

As early as Qu Ling took Xiao Jingyue's blood, Li chenxuan told Qu Ling that tianshuangcao had been stolen.

For several months, I didn't expect the "stolen" Tianshuang grass to appear on its own initiative.

However, Tianshuang grass is no longer useful to Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue went to Chen Linye's side and asked in a deep voice, "do you know why he asked you to send tianshuangcao?"

The maid said, "the childe said that Mrs. Xiao asked him for Tianshuang grass. At that time, he couldn't take it out. Now he finally found it and presented it. It's an apology for Mrs. Xiao's imprisonment that day. Since then, we don't owe each other."

At this time, Xiao Jingyue finally recognized the maid.

When Qu Ling was injured and trapped in the treasure pavilion that day, it was the maid who waited on Qu Ling.

The maid saw that Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye seemed to have no intention of taking the things in her hand. She didn't say anything more. She opened the box and gently put it on the ground.

After a formal salute, he turned and left.

Chen Linye lowered his voice and asked, "can someone follow?"

Xiao Jingyue shook her head gently, took the reins handed by Xiao Er, turned on her horse and rode away in the direction of prime minister's house.

Chen Linye, who stayed in place, looked at his figure and sighed heavily.

……

In the deserted broken temple, a woman in rags sat with a pale face against the wall, her hands tightly covering her abdomen, and a pool of dark blood under her body.

She went to the general's house and sent tianshuangcao back. The maid slowly approached the temple, came to the woman, looked at her with her eyes down, and there was no sympathy at the bottom of her eyes.

When Chunyu heard the voice, he shrunk vigilantly to the wall. He laboriously opened his eyes and looked at the people. In a dumb voice, he asked, "who are you?"

The maid whispered, "it doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that I came to take you on the road."

The face of Chunyu suddenly changed, and the whole person immediately panicked. He kept shaking his head and muttering, "you can't kill me. I'm Mr. Li's man. I'm still pregnant with his child in my stomach. You can't kill me."

The corner of the maidservant's lips caught up a sarcastic arc, "is it really the childe's child in your abdomen?"

Chunyu's body stiffened and his pupils shrank violently.

However, before she spoke again, a dagger disappeared into her stomach.

Everything I have to say is stuck in my throat.

Chunyu twitched twice, slowly lowered his head and looked at the dagger that didn't enter his stomach.

Maintain this position and completely cut off your breath.

The handmaid stood for a moment again. After making sure she was really out of breath, she took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, pointed the mouth of the bottle at Chunyu's mouth, and filled the contents of the bottle.

After all this, the maid did not stay any longer and left the broken temple.

A few hours later, Chunyu will "live" because of the soul poison, but she still has a dagger in her belly. No one can diagnose and treat her in this place. Even if she lives, she will die again in less than half an hour.

And this death is the real death, and the immortal Da Luo can't save her.

After leaving the broken temple, the maid specially went around the street outside the Shangshu house of the Ministry of war and looked at the Shangshu house of the Ministry of war from a distance.

Yesterday's scene reappeared in my mind.

Yesterday, the childe came to the treasure pavilion with a strange chill. He gave her the box containing tianshuangcao and ordered her to send it to the general's house at the end of Chenshi tomorrow.

After the things are delivered, go to find the whereabouts of Chunyu and kill her completely.

After these two things, she will be free.

……

There was a sudden flood in the sealed Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of war. Li chenxuan's death in the yard where he used to live soon spread all over the capital.

In Jing Zhaoyin's house, Li Ning'er was frozen in place when she learned about it.

When he hated to the extreme, he wanted to die with Li chenxuan countless times, but he just couldn't be cruel enough to do it.

Now I'm tired and can't move. I plan to put it down, but I tell her that he's dead.

Moreover, he died in the most disgraceful way.

Li Ning'er thought bitterly that after hearing the news of Qu Ling's death, he couldn't wait to go down to find her?

"Elder sister?" Li Xiaomin called out worried when he saw that Li Ning'er's face was not very good-looking.

Li Ning'er looked down at her arms covered with knife marks under her sleeve and said softly, "I'm fine."

Good, good.

She was relieved when he died.

……

Qu Ling woke up with pain in a jolt. Before her consciousness was fully recovered, she heard the rumbling sound of the wheels coming into her ears, accompanied by the uncomfortable shaking around her.

"Miss, you're awake." the royal guards immediately took the kettle, held Qu Ling in their arms and fed her water.

Qu Ling already had some chaos in her mind. She drank the water handed to her mouth by instinct. When swallowing, she accidentally made too much effort to affect her heart. A burst of heart tearing pain spread, which made her subconsciously spit out the water she had just drunk.

Seeing this, royal guards hurriedly put down the kettle and took a handkerchief to wipe the water on Qu Ling's neck.

After some tossing, Qu Ling's mind was almost awake. Her eyes looked at the surrounding environment blankly, and her sight finally fell on the look of royal clothes.

Qu Ling smiled weakly at her and asked softly, "where is this?"

The royal coat's red eyes came to her ear, and the voice gently replied, "in the carriage. Miss, we'll go back to miaojiang and we'll go home."

For royal guards, even after six or seven years away from miaojiang, miaojiang is already her home.

Qu Ling was stunned and immediately nodded gently.

Well, if she stays in the capital like this, she will only become a burden to others. It's good to leave for a while.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the royal guards thought she couldn't let go of Xiao Jingyue and said, "it's said that General Xiao is well. Now all the people in Qi expect him to go to the battlefield to defeat Japan for Qi."

Qu Ling pulled her lips and still didn't say a word.

Royal guards are more and more distressed to see their young lady's frail appearance.

However, before she could say anything more, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Rong Xi's cold voice came in from outside the carriage, "did your adoptive father send you to catch us?"
