Chapter 248 Life is on the line 3

Jiu'er was arranged into the royal palace. Changsun Yun specially arranged a courtyard for Leng Xiao to rest and prevent others from disturbing him.

When Leng Xiao woke up, he saw Jiu'er with a tired face lying in front of his bed with his arm sleeping. The bright sunlight sprinkled in from the window and reflected on Jiu'er's slightly fat face. In Leng Xiao's view, it was indescribably touching.

He transported the internal force, and his body recovered quickly. Now he has recovered 70% or 80% of his internal strength. Leng Xiao turned his head and saw that he was lying in a strange room. The room was neatly placed everywhere. Looking at Jiu'er, the corners of Leng Xiao's mouth couldn't help overflowing with a shallow smile and stretched out his hand. Come on, gently fiddled with the bangs on Jiu'er's forehead.

Jiu'er slept in a daze, opened her eyes slightly, and smashed her cherry-like mouth a few times. She looked indescribably charming.

Leng Xiao was fascinated and couldn't help reaching out to gently touch her lips. Jiu'er felt strange and woke up. Seeing Leng Xiao looking at herself without blinking, Jiu'er couldn't help blushing and sat up straight and said, "Are you awake?"

Leng Xiao nodded and struggled to sit up. Jiu'er saw it and said quickly, "You're not well yet. You can't move around."

With that, he leaned over to help Leng Xiao up and put a soft pillow behind him.

Leng Xiao's whole body stagnated, and the tip of his nose was full of the smell of flowers on Jiu'er's body. Somehow, his face seemed to have been roasted by fire, and it suddenly burned.

Jiu'er covered the quilt for him and asked softly, "Are you hungry? I cooked lean porridge. Can I serve you a bowl?"

Leng Xiao nodded, and Jiu'er put porridge in the bowl and fed him spoon by spoon.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Jiu'er said, "The last time you sacrificed your life to save me, I haven't thank you in person."

Leng Xiao waved his hand and said, "You are taking care of me these days. Thank you."

Jiu'er smiled and said, "I should have done it." With that, he stood up and said, "I'll wash the dishes. Take a good rest."

Leng Xiao nodded and was about to reply when he heard a muffled sound outside. Leng Xiao was shocked and hurriedly looked sideways. A man in black helped Jiu'er in.

Seeing Leng Xiao, the man in black hurriedly hugged his fist, "Master."

Leng Xiao was relieved and said, "What are you doing here?"

The man put Jiu'er on the chair aside and said respectfully, "Master, my subordinates are worried about the master's body, so I'm here to visit him."

There was no expression on Leng Xiao's face, but said lightly, "Well, now you have seen it, then go back."

After listening to Leng Xiao's words, the man in black said eagerly, "Master, now that the situation is tense, you really can't take any more risks. This woman... is the worst person."

Leng Xiao raised his head and looked at the speaker. His cold eyes were like frost. "You don't care about my business. I have my own moderation."

"But the master..." The man in black wanted to say a few words, but he heard Leng Xiao say, "Okay, you step back first."

The man in black looked at Leng Xiao a few times unwillingly. Finally, he did not dare to speak and quietly retreated.

Leng Xiao closed his eyes to refresh his mind. After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at Jiu'er, who was sleeping beside him, and suddenly sighed.

When the spring flowers bloom, a sea of flowers in the backyard of the bamboo branch garden are also purple and red. Xia Mengning and Jiu'er took the basket to pick the petals, and from time to time they bowed their heads and smiled.

At this moment, Li Yan, with a panicked face, came over. Xia Mengning looked awe-in and saw Li Yan come forward and said, "Miss San, it's not a big deal."

Xia Mengning said indifferently, "What's the matter? Take your time."

Usually, Li Yan is calm and quiet, and the things that can shock him should not be small.

Li Yan swallowed his saliva and said, "It's the medicinal herbs in the shop. There's something wrong with the medicinal herbs in the shop."

Xia Mengning frowned and said, "What's going on?"

While talking, Xia Mengning had handed the basket in her hand to Jiu'er and walked into the room.

Li Yan followed him and said eagerly, "It was this morning. The business in the shop was good, but suddenly a group of people came and said that there was something wrong with our medicine. A group of people shouted and opened the medicinal materials that had not yet moved into the warehouse. As a result, they saw that the medicinal materials were moldy."

Xia Mengning was washed by Jiu'er to wash her hands and wiped them dry and said, "Don't panic first. Tell the shopkeepers of each shop and post a notice. All the moldy medicinal materials bought will be returned and exchanged, and another silver will be compensated."

Li Yan nodded hurriedly and knew that Xia Mengning's way to deal with it was right. Xia Mengning continued, "Our shop has been full of waves since it opened. Manager Li, this time we can't be bullied like this."

The two cleaned up and went to the warehouse. Li Yan instructed the little man on one side to open the box. The little man quickly came forward to open the lid of the box, and a strong musty smell floated out of the box. Xia Mengning reached out to cover her mouth and nose, looked at all the boxes carefully before walking out.

Li Yan brought tea to Xia Mengning and said, "Miss San, what should we do now?"

Xia Mengning frowned, "It is obvious that someone is framing us. Now that the situation is like this, we can't let it continue to get worse. We must quickly stabilize the situation."

Li Yan nodded, and Xia Mengning said again, "Have you found someone who bought the goods?"

Li Yan nodded, "I have sent someone to find it..."

At this moment, a servant ran in breathlessly and said, "Mr. Li, it's not good... Just now, the brothers went out to find the Wang shopkeeper who bought the goods and found that he had died in the forest."

"What?" Xia Mengning suddenly stood up and walked out quickly, "Go and have a look."

Several people came to the woods of the accident in a carriage and saw a carriage parked next to the big tree. A man was crooked on the carriage, revealing a pair of staring eyes.

Xia Mengning walked over, and Li extended his hand and said, "Miss..."

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's okay."

With that, Xia Mengning stepped forward. The buyer's name was Wang Shun, a clerk who was originally working in the Xia family. Because he was quick and diligent, he was called to be a shopkeeper by Li Yan.

Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and moved Wang Shun's neck. She saw that the knife wound was a fatal blow. Obviously, the murderer was a person with excellent martial arts. I'm afraid such a wound can only be made with a sword.

Xia Mengning didn't expect that things would involve human life. Now that it seems to be different from the past, this time it is obviously more difficult.

Li Yan looked at it and said, "Miss, what should I do now?"

Xia Mengning frowned, looked at the environment everywhere, and whispered to Li Yan, "How can it be such a coincidence? Just as we wanted to find Wang Shun, he was killed."

Li Yan frowned and said, "Miss means..."

"Yes, someone deliberately framed us. Now it seems that this is a big picture, stewer Li, time is running out. Now you can go back to the warehouse immediately and secretly carry out all the medicinal materials for destruction. Remember to find a few trustworthy people. In this situation, it is difficult to guarantee that our people are the problem."

Li Yan nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked back. At this moment, the sound of horses' hoofs came. Xia Mengning was stunned and saw Cheng Tianxing, the master of Ying Tianfu, riding a horse in front of him. Xia Mengning's heart was 'clucked', and she only felt that a feeling of being calculated gradually surged into her heart.

Cheng Tianxing came with a pair of people. After seeing Xia Mengning, he was a little stunned. He hurriedly jumped off the horse and quickly walked to Xia Mengning and saluted, "I have seen the princess."

Xia Mengning said lightly, "Lord Cheng, don't be polite."

Cheng Tianxing stood up and wondered, "Why is the princess here?"

Xia Mengning looked at it and said truthfully, "I had something to find the clerk in the shop at the last minute, but I found that he had been killed."

Cheng Tianxing took a deep look at Xia Mengning and said, "What a coincidence? But I also got a clue that there were people here who hurt people in broad daylight, so he hurried over.

Xia Mengning was slightly stunned, looked at Cheng Tianxing and said, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Cheng Tianxing waved and said, "Come out."

At this time, a man in a cyan cloth shirt came out from behind Cheng Tianxing. It was Li Yan's brother-in-law, Deng Lin.

Li Yan was shocked and had some bad feelings in his heart. At this time, he heard Cheng Tianxing ask, "This man claims to be Deng Lin, and he is the clerk of your Jiancun Pavilion. He came to the house early in a panic early morning to report the case, saying that he had been hunted down and killed, and that there was also a shopkeeper was still on the scene, so he came to ask for help from me. "

Li Yan was furious and rushed forward and slapped Deng Lin in the face. This slap was so strong that he suddenly turned Deng Lin to the ground. "Why do you complain about it?"

Deng Lin lay on the ground aggrievedly and looked at Cheng Tianxing as if asking for help, "Lord, save me, my lord, save me..."

Cheng Tianxing was furious and waved his hand and said, "Bold, how can I be presumptuous in front of this official? Come on, take it!"

The officers and soldiers behind him came forward and held Li Yan down on the left and right.

Xia Mengning looked at the farce in front of her and said lightly, "Lord Cheng is such a great official power. Is Li the general manager of Jiancun Pavilion or the stew manager of the Prime Minister's Mansion? It is better for Lord Cheng to have evidence before catching people. You can't make a conclusion based on one-sided words alone."

Xia Mengning said this without mercy. She saw that Cheng Tianxing had decided to eat them today. She didn't know who was behind her.

Cheng Tianxing was stunned. Seeing Xia Mengning's beautiful face as cold as frost, his heart was a little drumming. He had to say, "The princess misunderstood. Although the evidence is insufficient today, this matter is still inseparable from the princess. I don't know if the princess is willing to go back with the officials to assist in the investigation?"

Xia Mengning was anxious, but she knew that all the evidence was unfavorable to her now. For the present, she could only stabilize the situation first. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning said, "The emperor personally nodded and agreed to the Jiancun Pavilion. Now it's not impossible for me to go back with you, but there can't be no one to manage the shop. Well, I'll go with you. You let stewor Li go.

Xia Mengning had no choice but to move out the emperor's floor. By the way, she also reminded Cheng Tianxing of his status. Cheng Tian's behavior was a little difficult, but he thought of the threat of the man in black yesterday. Cheng Tianxing was heartened and said, "Okay, the princess will go with the subordinate."

With that, he pointed to Li Yan and said, "Let him go."

Li Yan was free and hurried to Xia Mengning, "Miss..."
