Chapter 67 Who is evil-hearted

"Miss, miss." Qingwu gently pulled Ling Xiao's clothes and woke her up in a low voice, "Zhu Xiang is back."

"Ling Xiaozhu, Miss's medicine is coming, but she hasn't woken up yet. How can she drink it?" I don't know how long it took. When Ling Xiao lay on the side and was about to fall asleep in a daze, Zhu Xiang came back with a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand.

Ling Xiao straightened up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Lin Xuanyu, but she still didn't wake up. She took the bowl and said, "No wonder you've been there for so long." He raised his hand, put the medicine close to the bottom of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and frowned slightly. "Did you follow Dr. Yu to get this medicine and then fry it with your own hands?"

Zhu Xiang's eyes were still red and swollen. Hearing this, he was stunned and instinctively replied, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

"That's not true, but I need to confirm it, otherwise I can't rest assured." Ling Xiao smelled it carefully for a while, opened his mouth and took a sip. He asked again, "From receiving the medicine to decoction, and then to the delivery, there is no other person's hand in the middle, right? Zhu Xiang, if you want to be careful, this is related to the life and death of your young lady.

Seeing that Ling Xiao was so serious, a lot of guilt surged up on Zhu Xiang's face again. He blinked a few times and recalled it carefully for a moment before he nodded firmly and said, "No, the whole process was through the hands of slaves and maidservants, and there was no outsiders to intervene."

Ling Xiao nodded and saw that the medicine was cold. It was important to drink it for Xuan Yu first. Help Lin Xuanyu up, put a thick cushion on her back, and let her lift it a little to avoid being choked when feeding the medicine. Carefully feed the medicine spoonful by spoonful. Although there is still a lot of flow, I drank some after all.

"Miss, why don't Zhu Xiang and I stay here? Go and sleep in the side room for a while." Qingwu looked at Ling Xiao sadly and said to her.

"Yes, Ling Xiaozhu, you'd better go and have a rest. Our young lady's business depends on you. If you are sick, who else is willing to help?" Zhu Xiang sniffed sadly.

Ling Xiao looked at her and said to Qingwu, "You are here to guard Sister Lin, and you can't stay away from her for a moment." He turned his head to Zhu Xiang and said, "Let's go to the side room together. I have something to ask you."

"Ling Xiaozhu, my young lady was pushed into the water." As soon as the two arrived at the side, Zhu Xiang knelt down to Ling Xiao and cried.

"Get up, Zhu Xiang, speak slowly." Ling Xiao quickly picked her up and asked, "Where were you when your young lady fell into the water before?"

When Zhu Xiang heard this, the tears he had endured before began to overflow again. "It's all wrong with slaves. I shouldn't have left the young lady."

Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but listened to her quietly.

"It was windy tonight, and the lantern was shaken. Although I was careful all the way, the place in front of Bituchi was still accidentally extinguished. There is no flint on his body, and the nearest nearby is Yingyue Palace, but whether it is Xie Guifei or Yao Concubine, she is not a person who can help. I wanted to just smear it like this, but I don't know if God deliberately made things difficult. The moonlight tonight is also particularly dim. There is still a long way to go to the Xixi Hall. It's really impossible. Zhu Xiang probably remembered the scene at that time and was very annoyed.

"Just when I was in a dilemma, I saw that there was some light in the east. It should be the father-in-law of the night patrol, so I went to borrow the fire."

Needless to say, it must be that after Zhu Xiang left, Lin Xuanyu was pushed into the blue pool!

Is it really such a coincidence? How did the murderer know that Xuan Yu would return to the palace at this time? How could he be sure that there were such suitable conditions for committing a crime tonight? It's simply the right time, place and people.

After hearing this, countless questions came to Ling Xiao's mind. She didn't believe that the murderer was so lucky that even God helped him/her. Since it's not God's help, then - unless it is, someone has been watching Lin Xuanyu and responding to the murderer. It happened to be such a "beneficial" time today, so I was taken advantage of by the murderer.

"It's not good to be a maidservant. How can you let Miss Liu be there alone?" Zhu Xiang blamed himself for the sins of the whole matter. "For good, the young lady doesn't have to worry about her life, otherwise, the maidservant can only..."

"Zhu Xiang, listen, no matter whose fault it is, it has happened. What we want is not to blame ourselves, but to let the real behind-the-scenesman pay the price!" Ling Xiao's voice was low, his face was cold, and his whole body exuded an unprecedented violent atmosphere.

"Miss, Zhu Xiang, Lin Xiaozhu is awake. Come on." Qingwu shouted at them outside.

The two were shocked and ran out in a hurry. Seeing that Lin Xuanyu really woke up, they almost cried with joy.

"Sister, you finally woke up." Ling Xiao held her to sit up, grabbed her hand, and his eyes were red.

Lin Xuanyu smiled weakly and comforted, "Isn't I all right? Look at you, they are all like children." When she said this, her eyes did not have the gentle luster of the past, but more resentment.

Ling Xiao felt her ups and downs and said guiltily, "Sister, you need to have a good rest now. Don't be angry with your body. It's all my fault. If I hadn't kept you so late, if I hadn't prepared a flint for Zhuxiang, and most importantly, if it weren't for me, how could someone have poisoned you without fighting?

"Xuaner, it's none of your business. I'm too cowardly. I think I can protect myself by escaping. In fact, it's useless. Who can be alone in the big dyeing jar of the harem? Lin Xuanyu's words were unprecedented indifference. Even if she was almost poisoned that time, she did not do so. This is really chilling. More importantly, the meaning contained in these words is self-evident that she does not intend to avoid the world like this.

Ling Xiao was stunned, and his heart was a little confused, which was indescribable. Sister, do you see who pushed you? At that time, after Zhu Xiang left, what happened to you? Regardless of anything else for the time being, it is important to find out the murderer.

Lin Xuanyu recalled it carefully, and finally closed his eyes in disappointment and shook his head. "At that time, it was too dark to see anything at all. I didn't see anything. After Zhuxiang left, I saw a little light on the edge of the Bichi, so I went over and looked at it. As a result, when I got to the side, I felt a slight footstep behind me. At that time, I felt wrong, but it was already late. When I turned around, I was pushed vigorously, and then the cold water, and then I woke up here.

"Did you see any suspicious people at that time?" Ling Xiao didn't give up, continued to ask, and also looked at Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang also bowed his head in frustration, "At that time, I saw the light of the night patrol father-in-law nearby. As soon as I walked over, before I could speak, I heard a scream behind Gao, and the young lady..."

"It seems that there is no way to know about this for a while. Xiaoer, you'd better go and have a rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Lin Xuanyu said tiredly and added, "Don't go back to Qiluan Hall, just take a rest in Yuanxi Hall."

Ling Xiao nodded and called several other maids of honor to come in to wait, and then went to bed in the empty room led by Zhu Xiang.

The next day, someone came to visit very early, but the emperor personally issued the imperial edict. Before noon, no one was allowed to disturb the Xixi Hall. The queen also specially exempted Ling Xiao and Lin Xuanyu's two mornings. Ling Xiao and their general manager could have a good rest all morning. In fact, no one slept well this night, but it was more or less clean for a long time.

Zhu Xiang boiled the medicine, but Ling Xiao tasted it himself before giving it to Lin Xuanyu.

Lin Xuanyu looked at Ling Xiao, who took care of her wholeheartedly, and sighed, "Xiaoer, I won't say anything grateful. I'm just thinking that we will, in the future, will one day..."

"There won't be that day." Ling Xiao looked into her eyes and said firmly, "Ling Xiao said that my sister will always be my sister. For example, Xiaoer will definitely get justice for her sister this time.

Lin Xuanyu choked and said, "Didn't the emperor have declared that I fell into the water by myself? How can you help me get justice?" The medicine in the bowl is drunk without a drop, and the mouth is full of bitterness. Even if it contains plums, it is useless.

"The emperor wants to maintain peace in the harem." Not only peace, but perhaps the most important thing is the intricate relationship between the harem and the court. All forces need to be balanced and cannot be easily destroyed. Ling Xiao didn't say anything, and Lin Xuanyu certainly understood. So of course, he will not easily order a thorough investigation. It's just that there is nothing to find out. If there is something, it will only be more difficult to end.

Ling Xiao remembered that he had suffered this loss before, and even the queen could not be an exception. "But no matter what is limited, I don't believe it. When those people are getting more and more excessive, and even do not hesitate to kill people, the emperor will continue to indulge!"

Lin Xuanyu's eyes were a little confused. He didn't know what he was thinking. Gradually, gradually, he saw Qingming, and said lightly and firmly, "Yes, I don't believe that they can never be boundless. No matter who it is, I must let her pay for this!"

In the second half of the day, many people came to visit, although in fact, most of them came from Ling Xiao's face. Qin Xiaoyuan and Mo Meiren waited outside early. They came in and saw Lin Xuanyu's appearance. They were fine when they parted, but now they have experienced the ghost door and come back. It's really pitiful and hateful. The two stayed very late and waited for everyone to leave before they began to say their guesses.

The strange beauty was the most direct and said with a black face, "I think this matter is probably done by Xie Guifei."

"I don't think so. If the noble concubine really wants to do it, there is no need to choose outside her own palace. Isn't this causing trouble for herself? Qin Xiaoyuan said what she thought.

"It's precisely because everyone thinks so that she just plans." The strange beauty insisted.

In fact, in Ling Xiao's opinion, I'm really not sure about this matter. Both of them have a sense. At first, Xie Guifei wanted to attract Xuan Yu, but later she did not belong to her camp. Instead, she was like a sister to Ling Xiao. How could she not hate? But she can't protect herself now. Does she really have the strength to harm others?
