Chapter 128 There is something you are hiding from me.
Jiang Xue is injured now. If she knew that her grandmother was already... I'm afraid her body wouldn't be able to bear it.
Lin Yiyi raised her red eyes, wiped away her tears, and stood up against the wall. She couldn't let Xue'er know about this now. The most important thing now was to find the murderer.
When Lin Yiyi came in from outside, Pei Zhijin looked at her with red eyes, and walked into her room in a daze, his expression became solemn.
Then he raised his hand slightly, and a man in black clothes appeared in the corner.
"grown ups."
"Follow the man who just went out."
"Yes." Ye Tong nodded slightly and disappeared immediately.
At dusk, in a house deep in the alley, Hongying, dressed in red, stood in the yard with her hands behind her back, her face solemn and she looked very unhappy.
Looking at the person kneeling in front of him, he kicked him.
"Humph, you piece of trash, you were killed without leaving any trace!"
The person who was reporting spat out a mouthful of blood and didn't dare to breathe.
Mo Cang stood aside and watched his men, shaking his head slightly. His men immediately stood up and retreated.
Mo Cang then spoke up: "Master, Ruoyan was originally a pawn. Since she died in Xuzhou, it means that her guess has been verified. Her death is not unjust."
Hongying looked over with fierce eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, and said coldly: "Humph, it seems that I really underestimated that group of people."
"Go! Find out the whereabouts of the Wuji Pearl immediately. I want to get it before the Shadow Hall."
"Yes."
After Mo Cang left, Hong Ying sat on a stone bench beside her, still with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. She listened to the report from her subordinates that King Cheng went to Anzhou this time to bring Jiang Xue back to the capital.
She was really upset when she heard the news. Hongying clenched her hands silently, with a gleam in her eyes. When she got the Wuji Pearl, she would definitely have a good fight with Yingtang and kill Jiang Xue!
No, she wanted to lock her up in the dungeon of Fengyun Tower and torture her. It would be too easy for her to die.
------
For several days, Jiang Xue stayed in bed recuperating from her injuries. Sometimes Pei Zhijin would take Jiang Xue to the yard to bask in the sun, but the two still felt very distant.
As long as Pei Zhijin doesn't speak, Jiang Xue never speaks on her own initiative.
Zhu Feng also gradually recovered under Wen Yu's care.
Lin Yiyi was busy running outside, paying attention to both the black market and the things happening in Anzhou.
She had obviously lost weight. Wang Ziyan couldn't bear to see Lin Yiyi working so hard, so he repeatedly advised Lin Yiyi to take a rest.
But Lin Yiyi couldn't listen at all. She just wanted to get to the bottom of the matter before Jiang Xue recovered.
As soon as they came out of the black market, Wang Ziyan pulled Lin Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, you have been tired for a few days. Go back and rest first."
"It's okay, I'm fine." Lin Yiyi rubbed her temples tiredly.
Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi with concern and said, "Yiyi, listen to me."
"No, I'm not tired." Lin Yiyi put down her hand and walked forward.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Pan's house."
Wang Ziyan quickly stopped in front of Lin Yiyi and asked, "It's so late, do you want to visit the Pan family at night?"
"Didn't that person just say that the Pan family has the most transactions with the black market? Besides, they do all kinds of business. There has been no news about the Wuji Pearl after it reached the black market. I suspect the Pan family is involved."
"It's so late now, you go back and rest, I'll go."
"I couldn't sleep even if I went back." Lin Yiyi frowned slightly.
Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi and saw that she didn't listen to what he said at all. A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly hit Lin Yiyi on the back of the neck.
Lin Yiyi stared at Wang Ziyan in disbelief, "You..." and then fell into Wang Ziyan's arms.
Wang Ziyan picked up Lin Yiyi and said softly, "Have a good rest. Leave the rest to me."
Looking at Lin Yiyi with her eyes closed in his arms, a trace of heartache flashed across Wang Ziyan's eyes, and then he walked forward.
Suddenly two arrows shot towards Prince Yan's back.
In just a moment, Ah Hui appeared behind Wang Ziyan and blocked the two arrows.
"Master, please leave. Leave this to me."
"Leave him alive." Wang Ziyan turned his head slightly to the side and said in a cold voice.
"Yes."
Wang Ziyan continued to walk forward quickly with Lin Yiyi, leaving only the sound of swords clashing behind them.
When they returned to the inn, Jiang Xue was being supported by Shuang Ning and was about to go back to the house when she saw Wang Ziyan hurriedly coming in from outside the yard.
Jiang Xue looked over and saw Yi Yi in Wang Ziyan's arms. She frowned and immediately shouted, "What happened to Yi Yi?"
Wang Ziyan paused, looked at Jiang Xue and said, "It's okay. She's too tired and doesn't want to rest. I can only do this."
Jiang Xue glanced at Shuang Ning, and Shuang Ning immediately helped Jiang Xue move towards Wang Ziyan.
Looking at Yiyi's tired eyes, Jiang Xue frowned, "She has been missing for the past few days and has been searching for clues in the black market?"
"Ah."
A trace of heartache flashed across Jiang Xue's eyes, and then she took out a small green porcelain bottle from her arms and placed it under Lin Yiyi's nose.
"What is this?" Wang Ziyan asked in confusion.
Jiang Xue stuffed the medicine back into her arms, looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "Let her rest for a few more hours."
Wang Ziyan nodded slightly, "I'll put her back first."
"Yes." Jiang Xue looked at Wang Ziyan's back and said, "I'll wait for you outside the courtyard."
Wang Ziyan paused slightly, said nothing, and walked quickly towards Lin Yiyi's room.
Jiang Xue's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Shuang Ning and said, "Go prepare a pot of wine."
"Yes."
Shuang Ning helped Jiang Xue to the pavilion and went to prepare wine.
When Wang Ziyan came out of Lin Yiyi's room, Jiang Xue had already poured the wine and was waiting for him.
Prince Yan walked over with his hands behind his back, looked around, and asked, "Where is Lord Pei?"
"do not know."
"Don't know?" Wang Ziyan frowned as he sat opposite Jiang Xue and said, "Hasn't he been taking care of you these days?"
Jiang Xue raised her lips, with a meaningful smile in her eyes, and said, "He is just like you, hiding something from me."
Wang Ziyan paused as he picked up the wine on the table. His expression changed slightly. Then he looked up at Jiang Xue and drank the wine in his hand. "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Xue watched Wang Ziyan finish the wine in his hand, then she leaned forward, staring at Wang Ziyan with her phoenix eyes and said, "Don't you know what I mean? In addition to investigating the matter of the Wuji Pearl, you and Yiyi are hiding something else from me."
"How could that be?" Wang Ziyan laughed awkwardly, trying his best to cover it up.
Jiang Xue looked at Wang Ziyan's exaggerated laughter and the uncomfortable micro-expression, and she understood in her heart that it seemed that he was hiding something from her.
Wang Ziyan saw Jiang Xue staring at him, so he said awkwardly: "Why... are you staring at me?"
Jiang Xue stared at Wang Ziyan and suddenly laughed. Then she picked up the wine beside her and poured a glass for Wang Ziyan. "Nothing. I just wanted to ask you, how is your investigation of the Wuji Pearl going with Yiyi?"
