Xing Qige's expression changed, but Bai Muzhi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice. She was still talking.
"Brother Xing, believe me. If she didn't know what would happen in advance, how could she do so many strange things in Huai'an Mansion? She is really weird."
What she said was sincere, and the nervousness and worry in her eyes didn't seem to be fake.
Xing Qige used great strength to suppress the anger in his heart and spoke with difficulty: "What do you want me to do?"
Bai Muzhi's eyes lit up and she spoke word by word: "I want you to investigate her carefully. She has done so many things that will definitely leave traces. The people around her and those who work for her, as long as they can prove
She already knew..."
"But King Rong also did the same thing. Does he also have magic powers?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Xing Qige finally couldn't help but interrupt her. If the good impression from before was not still there, he might have turned around and left.
Xing Qige's words also calmed down Bai Muzhi's originally excited mood: "What did you say?"
"I said that as soon as King Rong arrived in Huai'an, he organized the construction of water conservancy projects and dredged the canals. He also knew in advance that there would be floods in Huai'an? Not only that, at my birthday party that day, a country official also raised the issue of abnormal weather conditions.
I'm afraid there are claims of natural disaster. He is a native of Huai'an Prefecture. Does he also have magic powers?"
Every time Xing Qige spoke, his tone became sterner. By the time he finished speaking, the smile on his face had completely disappeared. He looked at Bai Muzhi no longer like he was looking at an old friend he had a good feeling for, but rather like he was looking at an old friend.
A treacherous person who confuses the public with his evil words.
Bai Muzhi looked at him blankly, the blood on his face disappearing completely.
But the man continued with a hard heart: "I don't know if Boss Jiang is evil or not. I only know that she donated money and food, reinforced the granary, and came out of the territory without expecting anything in return, so that the people affected by the disaster had a place to stay."
She has shelter, food to eat, and clothes to wear. She has saved countless people in Huai'an Prefecture. She is a great benefactor to my people in Huai'an."
At this point, he paused and his tone became cold: "I don't know where you heard these nonsense from. What I want to say is that Boss Jiang is the benefactor of the people of Huai'an and I, Xing Qige,
My benefactor, if someone wants to harm her, then that person is my enemy!"
Bai Muzhi looked at him, tears fell immediately, and she looked very pitiful: "No, I don't want to be your enemy, I just, just..."
"Just what?" Xing Qige didn't want to force her to cry, but it was better to say some things clearly, so he asked hard-heartedly: "Where do you come from with these thoughts?"
There was no trace of friendship in the man's eyes when he asked, as if he was interrogating her as a prisoner.
A similarly indifferent face flashed before Bai Muzhi's eyes. At this moment, the faces of the two people seemed to overlap.
"I just," she lowered her eyes, "I just had a dream..."
Another dream?
Xing Qige actually didn't believe it. The Miss Bai he knew was not the kind of person who would label someone randomly because of a dream.
However, no matter how he asked, the person in front of him was bitten to death and had a dream, so he thought there was something wrong with Boss Jiang.
No one can prove this kind of thing.
It was impossible for him to really treat her as a prisoner and interrogate her. Looking at the weak and pitiful girl in front of him, Xing Qige took a deep breath and made up his mind:
"Since you won't tell me, then go find Prince Rong. I believe he will want to know more than me who is talking nonsense in your ears and saying these ridiculous things..."
The girl who was originally immersed in sadness suddenly raised her head, her eyes wet with tears opened wide, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
At that moment, Xing Qige almost thought that he had done something unforgivable.
Oh, he is planning to "complain" to King Rong, which is indeed not a good thing.
"Don't tell him..."
Bai Muzhi pursed her lips a few times, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
Xing Qige: "What?"
"I said, please don't tell him."
When she raised her eyes to look at him, two lines of crystal tears streaked down her white face, which made people feel distressed.
"But..." Xing Qige wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her next words.
"You know I'm sick, but do you know why I'm sick?"
"The seventh prince didn't say anything in the letter. I only know that you...wait a minute, what are you doing!"
Halfway through Xing Qige's words, when he saw Bai Muzhi's actions, his face almost turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly raised his hand to stop her.
Bai Muzhi paused in taking off his clothes, but the tears on his face did not stop: "Xiao Yinhan was attacked by an assassin. I was injured by an arrow in order to save him, and that's when I fell ill."
Xing Qige opened his mouth slightly. This answer was something he had never thought of, and what made him even more speechless was what came next.
"Even though I was injured trying to save him, he hasn't even looked at me in the past half month, not even once."
At the last sentence, he seemed to hear the girl's plaintive hatred.
He didn't say anything, but he seemed to understand everything.
"Maybe Rong Wang Shi is busy with other things..."
Xing Qige struggled to talk nonsense that he didn't even believe. No matter how busy he was, he couldn't even take a look, right?
Like him, even if he is as busy as a dog, but because of those shady thoughts in his heart, can't he put down his work and come here all night?
What's more, they are in a mansion. No matter how busy they are, there is always time to take a look, right?
But she said not once, so there was only one reason - he didn't want to see her.
Xing Qige hasn't cultivated enough to remain calm yet, and the thoughts in his heart are still shown on his face unconsciously, and Bai Muzhi can see through them at a glance:
"I know what you are thinking, but it is not what you think. I am not afraid that he will know."
Xing Qige wanted to say that he didn't think so, but the other party didn't say it clearly, and he was afraid that he was wrong.
So he originally accused her of misunderstanding Boss Jiang, but unknowingly, it turned out that he was short of breath than her.
"I have other reasons to doubt her, but since you don't believe me, I have nothing to say."
When speaking, Bai Muzhi showed a wry smile: "Brother Xing, I thought we were friends."
If you are a friend, you should be on my side.
Xing Qige understood her meaning, but couldn't agree with it.
"I only help with the care, not the marriage."
Lie, you obviously don't think so in your heart.
Xing Qige spoke righteously, but he knew in his heart that if it were anyone else today, he would follow her words and investigate.
But because it was the person Bai Muzhi suspected, he would stand by her side without thinking at all.
"I think you must have been misled."
Bai Muzhi smiled, a bit mockingly, but did not continue the topic.
"If Xing Jiang regards me as a friend, I hope you won't tell Xiao Yinhan. I... don't want to be looked down upon by him."
Xing Qige was speechless. If you really think so, why are you telling me this?
You are afraid that he will look down upon you, but you are not afraid that I will look down upon you?
Qian Wan Yu Huicheng sighed in his heart, and he said seriously: "I will give you the same words. If you still treat me as a friend, these... these words about Boss Jiang, don't talk nonsense. Your words are inherently untenable.
Stop it, plus Prince Rong has a deep affection for her, you will only be the one who feels sad if you tell her."
Xing Qige felt that he had spoken sincerely, but he didn't know whether the other party had listened.
After all this running around, I ended up relatively speechless.
After staying for a short time, he said goodbye and left.
Originally, he came here because he wanted to meet that person, but at the moment when he asked to meet him, he gave up first.
He was afraid that if he saw her again, he would really not be able to let go.
So when Xiao Yichen got the news and rushed over, he learned that Lieutenant Xing had received an urgent call and had already left.
He was stunned: "Didn't you just arrive today? Then go back?"
The guards under him were also surprised, but they reported truthfully: "I left. Because I was in a hurry, I asked my servants to apologize to His Highness and King Rong, saying that the matter was urgent and I did not dare to delay. I will apologize later."
Xiao Yichen was silent for a long time, standing there not knowing what to think.
"Let's go and see Miss Bai first."
With that said, he took the lead and walked towards Bai Muzhi's courtyard.
But what he didn't expect was to see a haggard and pitiful woman with red eyes here.
"What's wrong with you? Is someone bullying you? Is that the man named Xing? What did he do to you?"
The gentle mask on Xiao Yichen's face was instantly torn by the woman's tears. He stepped forward and wanted to touch her, but withdrew his hand at the last moment.
But even so, the young man's serious and sincere concern is moving.
"You came."
The moment she met his eyes, the tip of Bai Muzhi's nose felt sour and she almost couldn't help but cry again.
"Yes, I'm here. Tell me, what happened?"
Xiao Yichen said as he handed over his clean handkerchief.
Bai Muzhi took it and said, "Thank you."
Her voice was a little hoarse: "I'm fine, I just thought of something and felt a little sad."
"The person named Xing..."
"It's none of his business." Bai Muzhi interrupted his speculation: "Brother Xing is very good. He came here in a hurry because he was worried about my condition. He is a very good person."
When she said this, her fingers clenched the handkerchief unconsciously, and the darkness in her eyes almost overflowed.
If only he was really the same as before...
"Thank you for doing this for me."
Bai Muzhi put down the handkerchief and tried to smile: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
"But you..."
Xiao Yichen wanted to say something else when he heard:
"The only one I can trust in this world is you."
The woman's eyes were full of resentment and tears, and there seemed to be a flash of water in her eyes, which made Xiao Yichen's heart feel like he was hit by something, and what he originally wanted to say was completely forgotten at this moment...
-
"Just, leave?"
[Yes, they met once and then left. Does the host want to know what they said?] The system asked secretly.
Jiang Tang: "I don't want to."
Although he was a little surprised at the miraculous behavior of someone coming in a hurry and then leaving once they met, Jiang Tang didn't want to know more about it.
Anyway, she knew it had nothing to do with her.
Seeing her refusal, the system hesitated and chose to shut up.
Now that we have reached this point, the most important thing is to try not to make the host angry or resentful.
Since she doesn't want to know, just shut up.
So the system quietly disappeared.
Jiang Tang stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and his breathing seemed to become lighter.
Tianshan...
There is a place that has never appeared in the original work. I wonder what "surprises" it will bring to them after going there?
But what no one expected was that Xiao Yinhan, who suddenly fell ill, arrived earlier than the Tianshan trip.
"Your Majesty is recovering from a serious illness and needs to take a good rest..."
The imperial doctor spoke familiar words again. If he hadn't seen the pale and thin face of the man on the bed, Jiang Tang would have really thought... that he was pretending to be ill.
She frowned slightly and walked towards the man on the bed. She walked to the bed, but did not sit down. Instead, she looked at his sick face. There was no smile at all on her beautiful little face, and there was even a familiar sourness in her heart.
depressed.
"Is he pretending to be sick to deceive me?" Like a trick or something.
【No, I am really sick.】
The system's voice is also very dull: [I said before that I did not lie to the host about the physical condition of the male protagonist. 】
Jiang Tang didn't speak, but the expression on his face looked like he was about to cry.
These days, he was very clingy to her. They got along with each other every day, playing and playing. The days were so happy that she almost forgot that he was a "patient".
If it hadn't been for this sudden illness, she would have really forgotten.
Jiang Tang slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and hugged the man's hand that was outside the quilt.
His hands were not very warm, even a little cold.
I touched my forehead with the back of my hand, but it felt hot again.
Jiang Tang didn't speak, but the system clearly detected that the host was in a very bad mood at the moment.
She always said that she didn't care about the male protagonist, but she would still feel sad when she saw him injured and sick.
The system doesn't know what love is, but seeing how the two get along, she feels that deep down in the host's heart, she is not as ruthless to the male protagonist as she said.
But this little "love" doesn't seem to be enough to make her give up everything and stay with the male protagonist.
The system is no longer worried about whether the task will be completed in the end. With a dedicated task worker like the host, the result is very optimistic.
She is arrogant and arrogant, even if she really falls in love with the male protagonist, she will not hesitate to complete the task.
The mission will definitely be completed, but the male protagonist...
"woke up?"
As soon as Xiao Yinhan opened his eyes, before he could see clearly who was in front of him, he heard a familiar female voice with a slightly hoarse voice.
When his vision became clear and the man's face finally came into his eyes, the corners of his mouth were already raised before he opened his mouth.
It seemed that whenever he saw her, he couldn't help but feel happy and wanted to smile at her.
Obviously, he is not a person who loves to laugh.
"scared you?"
Jiang Tang was originally holding a teacup and preparing to feed the man some water, but when she heard his words, all her movements stopped.
But he didn't seem to notice, and gently rubbed his face against her soft little hand on his pillow, his voice a little hoarse: "I said, I can't keep you for too long..."
