Chapter 45: Another Death

Xue Jinyi's heart sank, the eldest princess's birthday banquet was not trivial, and the people around her also thought so, the originally lively lantern festival gradually fell silent, and people didn't dare to gasp and watched as the officers and soldiers of Jin Wuwei and the guards of the princess's mansion surrounded Huazhao Tower layer by layer.

"Shall we go?" She suddenly lost hope.

Sure enough, the guard said in a cold voice: "The safety of the eldest princess cannot be relaxed, Miss should find someone else." ”

After speaking, he took advantage of Xue Jinyi's lack of grasping himself, shook off her hand, and slipped into Huazhao Building.

Xue Jinyi frowned, there were already so many people guarding the safety of the eldest princess and the magnates, but in the eyes of the guards, the life of the King of Chu was not worth mentioning?

She looked left and right, people were scared and curious, their eyes focused on the brightly lit gate of Huazhao Tower, and it seemed that no one was willing to leave before figuring out the truth.

Xue Jinyi didn't give up, and gently touched the hand of a young man beside her, and was about to speak, but hesitated.

The young lady of the Jin Anbo family died suddenly, and the king of Chu was poisoned and fell in the alley behind Huazhaolou, the two things may be related......

The young man had already looked over and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"......" Xue Jinyi pursed her lips, and somehow, her intuition told her that the matter of King Chu could not be said now.

"Ahh

Just as she was about to pretend to have nothing to do and run away, the young man let out a strange cry and pointed at her face.

"I know who you are," his sharp voice appeared abrupt and clear in the otherwise quiet crowd, "You are Xue Jinyi of the Weiguo Mansion!" What do you want to do? There is a murder case in Huazhao Building, do you want to take advantage of the chaos to rob the people outside? ”

"......" Xue Jinyi had a little headache when she felt countless glances.

"Yes, yes, that's her!" Someone chimed in: "At the beginning, Zheng Jiaerlang was chased by her and jumped into the river and almost drowned, I was there at the time, I won't be mistaken!" ”

"I heard that she was severely taught by the Duchess of Weiguo, but I didn't expect her to change her dead nature?"

"Tsk, with such a child on the stall, Duchess Wei Guo is really pitiful."

In the midst of the discussion, Xue Jinyi's face was calm, and even a little smile hung on the corner of her mouth, making her face a little bright in the soft light.

"This son, I suggest you might as well pee."

Everyone was stunned, apparently hearing a little girl talking so vulgarly in the street.

With the things in Huazhao Building, Xue Jinyi didn't mind her image in the eyes of others, and after the young man asked, "What do you mean by this", she covered her mouth and smiled: "Then turn on the lights, take a good look at your face, and recognize that you don't have the attractive 'capital'." ”

"You!"

"Oh, and," Xue Jinyi interrupted him unceremoniously, "If you are accidentally touched, you will be slighted, then what street are you going on, hide at home and don't go out." Then, with a smile, she looked at the people around her, "I also want to remind everyone that he should stay away from him, lest he be blackmailed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously retreated and stayed away from the young man.

Xue Jinyi took this opportunity to get out of the crowd and walked quickly to the alley behind Huazhaolou, met Jin Wuwei on the way, recognized her as the young lady of the Weiguo Mansion, and did not stop the interrogation.

She took a small lantern, found a wooden cart, and pushed it back to the dark alley, where the king of Chu sat on the ground against the wall again, and the pile of debris covered his figure, so that others did not notice him for a long time.

"King Chu?" She crouched down and called softly.

His closed eyes slowly half-opened, and the light in his eyes looked dim.

His face was pale, and it seemed that the situation was not very good, Xue Jinyi asked, "Can you stand up?" ”

She stretched out her hand to support the King of Chu, and the unexpected heavy force pressed on her body, although the King of Chu leaned on her, but the weight was completely within her bearing.

"The young lady of Jin Anbo's family is dead, and you are poisoned again, this matter is too strange, let's be careful, don't let others see it." Xue Jinyi said in a low voice: "There is a wooden cart I pushed over there, you sit on it, and I will push you to find the medical center." ”

She took the king of Chu to move forward, but who knew that the man next to her didn't move, and she almost fell.

"I'm sorry." The King of Chu coughed lightly and took trembling steps.

Xue Jinyi suddenly understood that the reason why the force pressing on her body was not heavy was because the King of Chu was trying his best to control his body.

This nasty ghost is kind of human......

She thought to herself, slowed down her pace, helped King Chu to sit on the wooden cart, and then rolled up her sleeves to push the cart.

In the blink of an eye, she knew she had overestimated her strength.

The wooden cart moved, but she felt that her hands hurt and her arms hurt, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body.

She looked at the king of Chu, he was leaning on the wooden cart, and there was no sound, if she paid close attention, she could hear a very shallow breathing sound, as if to tell her that the life of the person in front of her was still in danger.

After the king of Chu turns around, she must knock him a sum of money.

Thinking of being rich, Xue Jinyi gritted her teeth, pushed the cart out from the other end of the alley, came to a relatively quiet street, and asked passers-by for the direction of the medical hall.

Fortunately, the passers-by were enthusiastic, and when they saw that the little girl was so tired that her cheeks were red, and her broken hair was stained with sweat sticking to her forehead, they sent them to the hospital.

Xue Jinyi asked the doctor to hurry up and show it to the King of Chu, and then thanked the passers-by who had not left yet.

Passers-by asked curiously, "Little girl, who are you and what kind of illness do you have?" ”

Xue Jinyi lied without changing her face: "This is my brother, I was too excited to faint when I watched the lantern show, so I pushed to see the doctor." I don't know that because there was a murder in Huazhao Building, everyone was watching the excitement, and no one was willing to help, thanks to meeting you. ”

As she spoke, she saluted passers-by.

Passers-by waved their hands and smiled: "There is no need for a big gift." I heard that Huazhaolou was wrapped up by the eldest princess tonight, did you actually have a life case? Then I'm going to check it out too. ”

Xue Jinyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, passers-by didn't recognize her and King Chu, and they were leaving, otherwise when the doctor came to explain King Chu's condition, wouldn't it make passers-by feel weird?

As soon as passers-by stepped out of the threshold of the medical hall, one person hurried over and almost bumped into each other.

"Lao Li, Lao Li! There's something big going on in Huazhaolou! ”

Passers-by grabbed the man's clothes and said, "Is it the murder of Huazhaolou?" What's going on now? ”

Seeing that someone was interested, the man couldn't wait to say: "The young lady of the Jin Anbo family died in Huazhao Building, and the yamen came to do an autopsy, not poisoning or illness, but people just bled to death like this, don't you think it's strange?" Later, some people said that the young lady of the Jin Anbo family was the only one who had a few more words with the King of Chu tonight! ”

"This ......" The passer-by remembered the rumors in the market during this time, and asked in horror: "Could it be that the young lady of the Jin Anbo family was killed by the King of Chu?!" ”
