Bing Lanyue paused for a while as she held onto her stomach, she was so sad that she almost cried.
Once, there was a baby inside her stomach, a baby she and Monarch Moli had.
But now …
Sometimes, Bing Lanyue would think about his unborn child, and upon thinking about it, she would feel incomparable resentment, resentment towards everyone.
The dishes were quickly served, they were all made by his own chef. Bing Lanyue sat there alone, and other than her, there was no one else in the side hall.
Ru Zui went out to do some business. Ye Lang was injured, and Marquis Zi Yi was still in the tavern.
Just as Bing Lanyue was about to raise her chopsticks, she saw that there was another cat in the room.
Being overwhelmed by the love she felt for his child, Bing Lanyue placed the fish on the table in front of the black cat.
"Eat, I don't like fish anyway, I'll give it to you." Bing Lanyue wanted to reach out her hand to caress the black cat, but the black cat turned its head to the side, clearly refusing to let him touch it.
"Alright, you must be hungry. Eat, I'll eat too." Bing Lanyue laughed and then sat back down at the table. Just as she was about to move her chopsticks, she saw from the corner of her eyes that the cat had suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
Black blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and along with the sound of Cat's breathing, black blood spurted out from his eyes and nose.
Bing Lanyue was stunned, she saw that in a short span of a dozen seconds, the black cat had stopped twitching, lying motionlessly on the ground.
"Is the food poisonous?" Bing Lanyue was so scared that she quickly threw away her bowl of food and touched her hair. She just remembered that she did not wear any silver hair ornaments today.
Bing Lanyue's heart was beating erratically, someone wanted to kill her, who was it? Wang Hu, Han Ziqi, and who was it inside the Dragon Gate Inn? Under whose orders?
She did not dare to shout, and only took out the serial crossbow s from her bosom and hid at the side, quietly waiting.
Bing Lanyue's mind was in a mess, because she did not know who wanted her life, all she knew was that if the person who tried to poison her heard her scream, they would definitely come back and fix her.
In that instant, she thought of a countermeasure.
He could only wait quietly.
Actually Bing Lanyue did not do anything wrong, because not far from the side hall, a pair of eyes was always staring at him. It was a woman dressed like an old lady, doing chores in the Longmen Escort Office, she would glance towards the side hall from time to time.
There was even a very ordinary basket at her side. Inside the basket, she prepared to leave it for the Bing Lanyue who was still alive.
She vaguely heard the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground, and then she kept staring at the side hall door. She bent over, fiddling with the basket.
There was no sound, no sound at all.
The person dressed as the old woman heaved a sigh of relief. Even though her eyes were narrowed, it was impossible to conceal the complacency in them.
She quickly carried the basket and left the escort office.
Ru Zui just happened to be back from work and she did not mind the old lady who was walking over. She only smelled a faint fragrance.
She felt a little surprised as she turned around to look at the old woman's back. She felt that it was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what exactly it was.
"Wang Hu, where's the big miss?" Ru Zui suddenly thought of something and asked Wang Hu.
Wang Hu pointed to the side hall and said: "The young miss is currently eating, do you want to have some?"
Ru Zui waved her hand and said: "No need, I just ate outside."
Han Ziqi was embarrassed and came over: "Miss Ru Zui, about this, what other orders do First Miss have? As the person in charge of Xu City, I have only dealt with one matter. "This …"
Ru Zui laughed, "That's only natural."
Han Ziqi was not Bing Lanyue's confidante, he knew that the person inside was his big sister. After getting the job at the Xu City, he felt extremely rich, but this time, while the big miss was at the Longmen Escort Office, he had only made his a meal.
Furthermore, a traitor had appeared in his territory, Han Ziqi felt that he had to blame this.
"It's about time. Eldest Miss should be done eating. Shall I go and get some dessert? " Han Ziqi smiled as if he was trying to curry favor with them.
Han Ziqi was also snickering at the side. Han Ziqi was at the border with the place he was in charge of, so they were not that bad. He kicked Han Ziqi on the butt, and said: "Since you want to, then hurry up."
Han Ziqi was not angry at all, and went to the kitchen smiling.
"Where's Mother Feng? He was here just a moment ago, where is he now? Hurry up and order dessert for Eldest Miss. " Han Ziqi shouted, looking around.
After searching for a while, he could not find any traces of his mother, so he could only carry the pastries in his hand and jogged all the way to the side hall.
When he arrived at the side hall, he found that both Wang Hu and Ru Zui's faces were dark.
"What's wrong?" Han Ziqi looked at the almost untouched dishes, and asked: Are there any disagreements between the meals? Because the young miss said she was hungry, she did not have the time to go to Red Dust Inn.
With a whoosh, Ru Zui unsheathed his sword and placed it around Han Ziqi's neck, asking fiercely: "Just now, you said that it's about time, what do you mean?"
Han Ziqi was shocked, and almost smashed the pastries in his hands.
"Eldest Miss has been inside for some time. I think it's almost over." Han Ziqi said honestly.
Bing Lanyue held onto the serial crossbow tightly. If not for the black cat, she would have already been turned into a corpse.
The moment Ru Zui opened the door, she almost shot out all the arrows from the serial crossbow s.
Within the Longmen Escort Office, in broad daylight, there was actually someone openly poisoning the food.
Bing Lanyue felt that it was unbelievable, she really didn't want to suspect that it was Han Ziqi who did it.
Wang Hu's face darkened as he carefully examined the reason for the death of the cat. He said, "Looking at the symptoms, it should be arsenic.
Han Ziqi ran out in a hurry and quickly surrounded the kitchen.
After a while, Han Ziqi said with unease in his heart, "First Miss, one person is missing."
Bing Lanyue asked: "Who is it?"
"Mom Feng, I came a while ago." Han Ziqi immediately said: "First Miss, I have already sent people to the city to search."
Ru Zui had an impression that when she was at the escort company just now, she had felt that there was something wrong with the person who acted like an old lady whom she just brushed past.
Back then, she didn't think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, there must have been something wrong with him.
With the scent on her body, she must have used rouge. How could this old woman use rouge? It was not like the bawd in the brothel!
From the back, this old woman looked very healthy and steady, and she walked very fast.
"Disguised. This subordinate had just brushed shoulders with her at the door just now. First Miss, I'm afraid that my Xu City is no longer safe. Ru Zui said quickly.
Wang Hu immediately said: "Young miss, I'm afraid there is no other place safer than Longmen Escort Office."
Bing Lanyue waved her hand and stopped the two from speaking. She calmed her heart and thought that if she disguised herself, it would be at the Xu City. Bing Lanyue thought of one person.
Could this woman that she had almost forgotten be her?
"Bring Zi Yi here." Bing Lanyue said very calmly.
Ru Zui did not move. She knew that at this moment, the enemy who was hiding in the shadows might have other tricks up his sleeve.
"Wang Hu, go to that inn and invite Marquis Zi Yi over. Remember to protect his safety." Ru Zui instructed.
Han Ziqi volunteered, "I'll go!"
Bing Lanyue wanted to turn around and leave after saying that, so Bing Lanyue said: "Wait, Wang Hu will go. Stay, and protect my safety, and I'll leave my safety in your hands.
Han Ziqi was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. After hearing what the young miss said, he felt even more ashamed.
"Don't feel pressured, I'll leave my safety to you. Also, get me something to eat. I'm really hungry." Bing Lanyue mischievously stuck out her tongue.
"Yes sir!" Han Ziqi immediately left.
After Wang Hu and Han Ziqi left, Bing Lanyue's originally smiling face suddenly became cold, and she asked: "Ru Zui, do you think Han Ziqi is trustworthy?"
Ru Zui nodded and said, "If he had a problem with that, I'm afraid we would have died a long time ago. However, just in case, Young Miss should still be on guard. "
Bing Lanyue lowered her head, sighed, and retracted her serial crossbow, saying, "I really didn't expect it, so fast, there was already someone who saw through my feint and even sent people to ambush at Xu City. "Who could it be?"
The person that Bing Lanyue didn't want to suspect the most was Monarch Moli.
This was because the only news that she was still alive was that she was in State Advisor, so of course there was no exception for her. There were also the Dragon Gate Inns in various cities, but she had just left the capital!
Even if Yue Yang sent a message to him during this trip to feudal fiefdom, it would probably take him at least two days to get there. It would also take another two days for Monarch Moli to send him a message to set up an assassination.
The only possibility was Sanguinarum.
The State Advisor had already 'chased' him out of the capital. Her goal was achieved, but in order to silence him, the State Advisor could definitely do it.
"Eldest Miss, I suspect that it is the Imperial Palace." Ru Zui's eyes revealed a tinge of fear.
"You're talking about Xuanyuan Jin?" Bing Lanyue responded with a question, and upon seeing Ru Zui's slightly fearful look, hurriedly asked: "Could it be him? However, he has already issued an imperial decree announcing to the world that the Imperial Concubine Bing is dead. "
"Empress!" Ru Zui bit her lips.
"Empress?" Bing Lanyue pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, and said: "That's impossible."
Ru Zui explained, "Within the Dragon-guarding Race, if one of us is loyal to the empress, then I'm afraid we won't be able to hide our tracks from the empress."
"Even so, the Concubine Lin had already been waiting for you. Could she have known that the State Advisor would …" Bing Lanyue said with a pale face.
Ru Zui was also shocked by Bing Lanyue's thoughts. If it was really like this, then how would Sanguinarum know that they were going to look for State Advisor?
The day before yesterday, just two days ago, Ru Zui and Bing Lanyue had the intention to go to the Star Observation Platform.
Bing Lanyue and Ru Zui looked at each other in fear, and both of them subconsciously shrank their heads.
