Ling Ruo smiled and looked at Liu Hu with a little more appreciation in her eyes. Although this man was tall and thick, his mind was not rough at all. He knew what to say and what not to say, but after seeing the scene just now,
But Liu Hu was not the only one. Just because he could keep his mouth shut didn't mean that others could also keep his mouth shut, not to mention that she had no intention of hiding anything.
Youyou raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Hu and the guards who seemed to have their eyes lowered but were actually listening with their ears raised. Their expressions were as calm as a pool of calm autumn water, "You can tell people everything you want, just say it as you want, and just answer truthfully."
Liu Hu was a little surprised and glanced at Ling Ruo quickly. Before Ling Ruo could look over, he lowered his head again and responded in a low voice.
With a faint smile, Ling Ruo got on the sedan and walked back along the same road as when she came. This good show has been delayed for too long, and it's time for it to be staged.
Gao Fu is the general manager of Prince Yong's Mansion. He is in charge of all the affairs of the five palaces. He is often too busy to touch the ground. Today he finally found time to sit down and take a rest while sipping the Dongting Biluo that was rewarded by an unknown Fuji.
Haru is thinking about it.
Should he talk to the fourth master and find a deputy general manager to share some of the work? Although it is not comfortable to let others divide the power in one's hands, there have been more and more things happening recently, and he is afraid that if he continues like this, he will not be able to bear the consequences.
There is no time to warm up the food.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone came in, but it was several guards who had been sent to follow Ling Fujin to protect him when he left the house. They came back to answer his orders. Gao Fu didn't care at first, but when he heard that someone was planning to assassinate him, he jumped up on the spot in shock, burning hot.
He spilled the tea on his hand and didn't care. He just stared and asked, "Is Ling Fujin okay?"
"Don't worry, executive, Ling Fujin was just a little frightened and nothing serious." Liu Hu and the other guards answered truthfully according to Ling Ruo's previous instructions, without any concealment.
Only then did Gao Fu feel relieved. He put down the tea cup and shook his scalded hand and said, "Do you know why that person wanted to assassinate Ling Fujin?" This thing is really unbelievable. How could a reclusive Fujin lead to revenge?
Woolen cloth!
"The subordinates and others are waiting outside. The specific reason is not clear." In fact, Liu Hu was also very curious, but it was not his turn to ask about this kind of thing.
"Okay, I understand, you can go down first. As for Liu Hu, you saved Ling Fujin..." He pondered for a moment and said, "Go to the accountant and pay fifty taels of silver as a reward."
"Thank you, Mr. Gao." After he walked outside, several guards looked at him with envy. Liu Hu was a good man, and he was the leader of these people. He said loudly: "Three nights tonight."
Yuanlou, I'll treat you all to a drink." Sanyuanlou is one of the best restaurants in the capital. A meal there costs at least a dozen taels of silver, which is equivalent to the expenses of an ordinary person for several months.
When the guards heard this, they immediately became happy, thanked him profusely, and left with Liu Hu surrounded.
After they went out, Gao Fu also hurriedly went out and walked to the study. At this time, Yinzhen was usually doing official business in the study.
In the evening, Ling Ruo looked at the dishes being served one after another, and suddenly said to Shui Xiu who was standing behind her: "Go and prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Before Shuixiu could ask who was coming, she saw Yinzhen striding in. He walked in a hurry, his sleeves were carrying the wind, and the corners of his robe brushed against the thousand-petaled chrysanthemums that were blooming in the courtyard.
Several thin petals of deep red and dark yellow are flying in the slightly cold autumn wind.
As soon as Yinzhen came in, he held Ling Ruo's hand tightly and looked carefully up and down to make sure she was fine. He breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows still did not loosen, "Gao Fu told me that you went to **Zhai"
I met someone with a knife and committed murder. I came over as soon as I heard about it. Fortunately, you are okay." After sitting down with Ling Ruo, he asked: "What is going on?"
Ling Ruo lowered her head aggrievedly, twirling the corner of her clothes and said what she had already thought of, "I am also very confused myself. When I arrived at **Zhai, I talked to Ayi for a while, and she said there was a box of homemade
The perfumer’s newly created fragrance powder
The smell was very good, but when she was at home, I thought it was too early, so I asked her to go back and get it. When she came back, a guest came with her. I was trying to avoid it, but I didn’t know he was dragging me away.
Asked a lot of stupid things, uh..."
Seeing that Ling Ruo had stopped speaking and her face was red, Yinzhen thought that the following words must be strange, so he asked one after another: "What are they?"
Ling Ruo hesitated for a long time, and then she said quietly: "The man asked me if I still remember him. He said that one night and a hundred days of kindness between husband and wife, that one night of happiness, he will always remember..." At this point, she had already continued to remember him...
The roots of his ears were red, and Yinzhen's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Ling Ruo
There was a cold light in his eyes, and Ling Ruo waved her hands in panic, "I definitely did not do anything to regret the fourth master, not to mention that the date he mentioned was September, when I had already left Beijing for Hangzhou with the fourth master.
How can I have any contact with him? Judging from me, he must have mistakenly recognized the wrong person."
Hearing what she said, Yinzhen's face brightened a little, and he thought to himself, if Lingruo really did something sorry for him, how could he be so stupid as to reveal it.
"If that's the case, why did he kill you later?"
Hearing the word "kill", Ling Ruo's face showed a bit of panic. She stroked her thumping chest and said: "I don't know, I told him that I don't recognize him, let alone him."
After hearing what I said, he seemed very angry and said something like remembering my smell.
If she didn't understand what she said, she then took out a knife from somewhere and used it to kill me. Fortunately, the guard stopped me in time, otherwise I would have been in danger." She glanced at Yinzhen, who was thoughtful, without leaving any trace, and said casually:
"When remembering people, we always remember their appearance. There is no mention of remembering their smell. Isn't that nonsense?"
Ling Ruo's words made Yinzhen's heart skip a beat. He suddenly remembered that when he was still in the palace, he overheard several palace maids and eunuchs talking about a former concubine of Emperor Ama. The concubine was unwilling to fall out of favor and actually had an affair with the guards.
, she tried to pass herself off as a dragon after her bead was born, but was eventually discovered. She was banished to the cold palace to die, and her family was also condemned. Could it be that the same thing happened again? How could Ling Ruo be involved?
.
Thinking of the word "smell" just now, he stepped forward and smelled Ling Ruo's body several times. He found that the smell was completely different from the perfume she usually used. It was rich and fragrant. He was surprised and said: "What perfume did you use today?"
pink?"
Ling Ruo raised her hand and smelled it strangely, then looked at Shui Xiu and said, "Which fragrance powder are you using today?"
Shui Xiu said knowingly: "The master's usual Qinyi incense has been used up, so the servant asked the steward for a box of Baiyue incense for temporary use."
When he heard the word "Bai Yue Xiang", Yinzhen's brows twitched slightly. Ling Ruo knew that he must have remembered Tong Jia's favorite use of Bai Yue Xiang, but he didn't mention it and only said: "Qin Yi Xiang, whatever.
Regardless of Baiyue Incense, it is all tribute. How could he, an ordinary citizen, have smelled it? It must be nonsense!"
