Jiang Tang was stunned by the man's words. Her face was blank for a moment, because she really didn't know what to say.
"cough,"
Finally, Jiang Tang coughed and avoided the man's sight: "This slave cannot understand what you are saying."
There seemed to be a sneer in her ears, and the next moment Jiang Tang saw a flash of cold light in front of her eyes. She subconsciously raised her head and saw a small dagger appearing in the man's hand, like a toy under his flexible manipulation.
With a "swish~" sound, the dagger was sheathed, then turned and handed to her.
"Take it."
Looking at the dagger handed to him, Jiang Tang subconsciously avoided it.
Lu Xiao frowned: "Don't you dare to ask for it?"
Jiang Tang finally looked up at him, with a pair of watery eyes that were breathtakingly beautiful in the night.
This time he was stunned.
Not knowing what he thought of, he looked away and said in a cold, low voice:
"The murderer's technique was clean and neat without leaving any unnecessary traces. It was the work of a professional killer. Even the Jin Yiwei cannot guarantee that the murderer will be caught in time. This dagger is just for you to defend yourself. If you are not afraid..."
"Thank you, sir!"
Before the man could finish his words, Jiang Tang grabbed the dagger very wisely: "My little lady is very grateful for your great kindness. I can only repay it in the next life."
She spoke so fluently and naturally that Lu Xiao was stunned after hearing her clearly.
"Repay in the next life?"
He repeated this sentence.
Jiang Tang stared wildly and remained silent, which was regarded as the acquiescence.
He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and his usually rigid and ruthless face melted away in an instant, making people look stunningly handsome.
But unfortunately, the girl who lowered her head did not see it.
When she looked up again, the smile on the other person's face had disappeared.
"There are guards stationed around the inn. Ordinary people cannot enter at all. The murderer is either someone from the inn or one of the entourage..."
Jiang Tang thought about this clearly and spoke slowly: "If adults are not afraid of trouble, why not set up a monitoring and reporting mechanism so that people working in the same account can monitor and report each other. Maybe there will be different gains."
Lu Xiao's originally indifferent expression darkened slightly after listening to the girl's words, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of her suggestion.
Jiang Tang just didn't know, and soon showed a cute and relaxed smile: "Of course, I just said it casually, adults just listen."
The man looked at her without saying anything, and there seemed to be many things hidden in his dark eyes that she couldn't understand.
"I will think about it."
When Lu Xiao said something, Jiang Tang was inexplicably relieved.
She made this suggestion out of selfishness. The Yanshan Palace will be unpredictable in the future. If we can detect some clues in advance and make preparations in advance, we may be able to recover some losses.
Thinking like this, she took another look at the tall young man in front of her. In the original novel, there was no such person at all.
I don’t know where he came from. It couldn’t be because he was dead...
"Let's go back."
Lu Xiao suddenly interrupted Jiang Tang's random thoughts. She nodded subconsciously: "Okay."
Jiang Tang walked for two steps with his head buried. Suddenly something occurred to him and he stopped and turned around. There was no doubt that the man was still standing there looking at her.
Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly continued walking to the tent without looking back.
But his heart was not as calm as he appeared: "Who is Lu Xiao? Does he know me?"
The system's heartless answer came to mind: [I don't know. There is no such person in the original work. Maybe he is a cannon fodder who died early like the host?]
Jiang Tang:……
Jiang Tang ignored it and tried to find it from the original memory.
But in the end, I still found nothing: she didn't remember him.
Sure enough, what happened next was just as Lu Xiao said. After checking all night long, he still found nothing.
On the second day, the convoy was ready to break camp and set off.
Only a few people were left to continue the investigation, while the rest continued to escort the emperor to the summer resort.
After all, it was just the death of a little eunuch, and it was impossible for the entire team to stop there.
-
On the carriage, Jiang Tang was giving Lin Zhaoyi the last treatment.
After doing it this time, you don’t need to do it again. Next, you just need to apply the mask on time every day.
When the incense is ready and the cellar is opened, it will be the day when Shengmei falls from the altar.
What even Nan Xing didn't know was that Jiang Tang kept a small part of the prepared fragrant pills out of habit. Although the quantity was small, it was still enough to steal Sheng Meiren's limelight in the palace.
Needless to say, you can feel Lin Zhaoyi's excitement and anticipation. Her goal has always been to plead for her father and brother, and Sheng Meiren is just the biggest obstacle on her way to success.
For any reason, it must be kicked out.
Seeing that success was approaching, Lin Zhaoyi felt much better, and looked at Jiang Tang with a little more sincerity. After all, such a beautiful and capable palace maid who still doesn't compete with her for favor is really rare!
"Before arriving at the palace, try to stay with others as much as possible. I heard that the murderer was brutal, but he has not been found yet."
Just when Jiang Tang wanted to say "I know", he heard Sheng Meiren's next words: "Another one died yesterday, and the emperor was very unhappy."
Jiang Tang shut up when he spoke: "I understand, thank you for reminding me."
[He actually killed another eunuch. Could this person have a grudge against the eunuch? 】
After getting off the carriage, the system couldn't control the thoughts.
The weather was bad today and there was a heavy rain on the way. The team hurriedly found a nearby station to take shelter from the rain.
The whole team was in a mess, and there was a lot of noise going out.
The closer she gets to Yanshan Mountain Resort, the more Lin Zhaoyi can't live without Jiang Tang. Now she simply lets her personal maid stay in the tent, while Jiang Tang stays in the room to take care of her.
Normally Jiang Tang might have refused due to various reasons, but today it was raining and she was not interested in going outside to crowd the tent with others, so she might as well take advantage of the situation.
After helping Lin Zhaoyi wash up, she planned to take care of herself. Since Lin Zhaoyi was not favored, she didn't have to worry about meeting acquaintances.
The result may be fate. As I turned around the corridor, I bumped into something I shouldn't have heard in the garden——
"Unless I have to, I don't dare to disturb the prince... I beg the prince to make it happen!"
Intermittent female voices came through the rain. Jiang Tang should leave, but he was still stopped by the word "Prince".
She paused in her steps. Before she could decide whether she should eavesdrop, she heard an extremely familiar cold male voice coming from the same place:
"Since you know it's presumptuous, why don't you get out? Who gave you the right to say this to me?"
This familiar mean and ruthless male voice...even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Jiang Tang knew who was standing behind him.
