The black figure swayed slightly and fell into the Zixiao courtyard. After passing by Dongfang Ling's door, her footsteps were almost silent. Before she reached the wing where she lived, she heard a thick voice, and then inside the dark room. , in the next moment, is instantly lit.
"The cat that swims at night is finally back. It's not coming in yet."
Bing'er's delicate and pretty face wrinkled, why is this person's ears so good? Could she pretend not to hear when he was shouting into the air
"Bing'er." As if seeing her hesitation, the thick voice sounded again, this time with a warning. Mei Mu raised her eyes and rolled her eyes, her face resigned in resignation, she pushed open the door, and walked in.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Dongfang Ling sitting on the red sandalwood chair in the small hall. Her sharp black pupils locked her dress in night clothes. When her eyes touched her left hand and caressed her injured right arm, her black pupils narrowed dangerously. rise.
"come over."
Bing'er timidly glanced at the rare sternness on Jun's face, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps to come to him.
Dongfang Ling stretched out his big palm and easily hugged her in his arms, while the other grabbed her injured right arm, frowned, and roared, "What's going on?"
Bing'er allowed herself to be hugged by him, did not dare to resist, and was stared at by him, so frightened that she couldn't say anything.
Seeing his big hand tearing, with her exclamation, he easily tore off the entire sleeve of her right arm, revealing her flawless arm, and also clearly revealing a wound on her upper arm in front of his eyes. When Hei Tong saw the not-so-slight wound, a sullen look crossed his eyes, and when he noticed the trembling body in his arms, the stern look on Jun's face faded instantly, and he scared her.
"Bing'er, tell me who hurt you? Where are you going so late?"
Putting her whole body on his lap, Jun's face regained his usual calmness, and gently wiped off her forehead, which was frightened by cold sweat.
The clear and beautiful eyes glanced at him, seeing that his face was no longer stern, and then the pink lips were pressed tightly in grievance, with a pitiful look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Can I apply the medicine first, the wound is so painful ."
She has always been afraid of pain, and this wound has been in pain for a long time, and now she only feels
Eyes dizzy with pain. Jun's face sank, just as he was about to pick her up to get the medicine, Bing'er automatically took out a bottle of Jinchuang medicine from her arms, and Hei Tong glanced at the familiar black porcelain bottle with a hint of cruelty.
He took the medicine in her hand, carried her into the inner room, and took out a clean cloth from the drawer. After a short walk, Jun's face was always gloomy and silent. He laid her down on his bed carefully, stared at her frowning eyebrows reluctantly, and quickly and carefully sprinkled the medicine on the wound, and then carefully bandaged her with a cloth.
Hei Tong lifted up and was about to open his mouth to interrogate, only to realize that she was so tired that she fell asleep. Her eyes were touching her tightly closed eyes, her beautiful little face fell asleep in front of him without any defense, and her heart moved, only to feel that her chest was filled with tenderness. The black pupils were full of pity, and the handsome face with a smile was adored. The tall body leaned down, and her fiery lips covered her soft lips. After a long time, she reluctantly left. That night, he sat beside the bed, looking at her delicate and innocent face, he couldn't bear to leave until the dawn appeared.
◆ ◆ ◆
Xu Feng was light, blowing falling flowers, dancing in the air, and falling on the shimmering lake.
A figure of Pingting leaned against the pavilion pillar, half sitting on the railing, although her beautiful eyes were looking at the lake, her thoughts were already far away. Early this morning, when she opened her sullen beautiful eyes, she unexpectedly met a pair of torch-like black pupils, and was woken up on the spot, only to realize that she had been lying on Dongfang Ling's bed and slept all night. And he actually sat by the bed, watching her sleeping face all night. Thinking of this, the pink cheeks couldn't help but blushed.
What disturbed her the most was the tender and affectionate look in his eyes when he looked at her. Although she was sometimes confused, this time she could see clearly and clearly felt that Dongfang Ling liked her.
This fact caused a commotion in her heart, and... exultation! Only then did I realize that I had unknowingly fallen in love with him, and was close to him and depended on him. The most embarrassing thing is that Xiaoqing, who came to deliver breakfast early in the morning, found out that she was in Dongfangling's bed, and Dongfangling did not shy away at that time. In front of Xiaoqing, she kindly combed the messy clothes for her. With long hair, he helped her out of bed thoughtfully, ignoring her embarrassed face from beginning to end, and Xiaoqing's ambiguous and meaningful gaze.
Dongfang Ling is indeed a hidden master, and is also the most patient hunter. After her personal experience, she deeply realized what kind of man she likes. First, he waited patiently for her to finish her breakfast, and then continued the torture last night. His handsome face was very calm, but his dark eyes revealed his true emotions. Since she saw the horror of his anger last night, she cooperated very closely and said it carefully from beginning to end. She had long forgotten what Yumian Shenchao explained.
After listening to her words, Dongfang Ling's face was gloomy and unpredictable. He didn't scold her at all. He just glanced at her coldly, but that glance was enough to make her see the anger in his eyes. He was angry at her, but he didn't say a word of anger. She would rather him scold him than he would treat her so coldly.
An irritable sigh escaped from her pink lips, what should she do so that he can no longer be angry? Just when she was troubled, a cyan figure stepped up to Gu Yueting.
"Bing'er, what are you thinking?"
Xiaoqing brought out a plate of osmanthus cake and a pot of tea on a wooden plate and placed it on the stone table, and asked while her hands were busy. Her inquiring voice suddenly pulled Bing'er, who was caught in her own thoughts, back, and only then did she notice that Xiaoqing had come and brought some snacks.
"nothing."
Bing'er pretended to be okay, gave her a bright smile, pretended to be greedy, couldn't wait to walk to the stone table, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth, deliberately eating it with relish.
"Stop pretending, you can't hide your thoughts on your face. When I'm a friend, don't treat me like an outsider." Xiaoqing glanced at her forced smile and said angrily.
Ugh! Now that he was seen through, Bing'er simply lay down on the stone table with a depressed look on her face. She took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and couldn't bear to eat it again.
"Bing'er, thank you for helping me get back Xiaohong's prostitution contract. After this lesson, my father has changed his mind and won't dare to gamble anymore. You are the benefactor of our family."
After Bing'er helped them get back Xiaohong's prostitution contract, she was afraid that the people from Yihong Court would still come and force them to take them away. She also asked the eldest young master to send Director Jiang to her house. Several of the servants of Yihong Courtyard had no choice but to leave without a contract and did not dare to offend the Dongfang Mansion. All this was thanks to Bing'er's help, otherwise their family would never have survived this. difficult.
"Don't say that." Bing'er reluctantly raised her strength, her elbows rested on her cheeks, and looked at Xiaohong in front of her with a grateful face. For the first time, she was treated as a benefactor, but she felt uncomfortable.
"My friend is in trouble, how can I not help? Besides, it's just for me, it's just a little effort." When Jing Xiaoqing mentioned this matter, it evoked the vision she saw at Yihong Courtyard last night. Are those girls being forced, or is there another reason? Why lock them all together
"Bing'er, are you worried about the eldest young master's anger?" Xiaoqing saw that her little face was slightly wrinkled, and she didn't know where she was wandering. She was addicted to food and had no appetite for dim sum, which showed that she was in a bad mood.
"Huh?" The stunned Meimei looked at Xiaoqing with a worried face, and didn't hear what she just said.
"The eldest young master has always been cold and polite to people. It is rare to see him angry. Although he found out that you entered the Yihong Courtyard at night this time, he did not see him angry. I think the eldest young master should be reluctant to be angry with you, so don't worry anymore. I'm done." Ignoring her dazed expression, Xiaoqing started talking to herself, thinking she was embarrassed.
No wonder! He had been so furious last night that he almost scared her to death. Although I didn't get angry anymore this morning, it was more terrifying than anger, so I just ignored her. From her point of view, he was more frightening when he was not angry.
Lazy beautiful eyes, inadvertently looked at the arch of Zixiao Courtyard, a tall figure entered from the outside. The beautiful eyes swept away the laziness just now, and instantly lit up, her slender body jumped up, and hurried out of Gu Yueting, ignoring the unreasonable shouts behind her. Bing'er ran fast, followed by the tall figure, and entered the study uninvited. She didn't see any breath from her.
Dongfang Ling just glanced back at her, did not say a word, left the desk and sat down, burying his head in the book, completely ignoring her existence.
"Dongfang Ling..." Bing'er murmured in a low voice, her beautiful eyes reddened with grievance, and some couldn't bear his indifference to her, like a stranger. Even when the two first met, he had never been so indifferent to her.
"Is something wrong? Miss Luo."
The tall figure behind the desk did not lift his head, and his thick voice was full of indifference.
Done! He is still angry! Hearing his rude and polite words made her chest feel uncomfortable. From last night to now, his anger has subsided, but she would rather he yell at her like last night than treat her as cold and polite as a stranger. In the end how to break the deadlock between the two... Ah! With that, the beautiful eyes flashed.
"it hurts… "
The clear and crisp voice of Fang Chuan, the successor of Fang, was in the ears of Dongfang Ling. He raised his black pupils, and when he saw the slender body in front of him kneeling on the ground with his right arm caressing his right arm, his handsome face changed, his tall figure flashed, and he came quickly. to her side.
"What's wrong with Bing'er? Does the wound hurt again?"
Dongfang Ling asked repeatedly and hugged her from the back in his arms. Hei Tong was touching her clenched eyebrows and pale face, as if he had been punched in the chest, he hurriedly slammed her into his arms.
He picked it up by the waist, kicked open the door of the study, and entered the adjacent bedroom.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, his steps quickened, he came to the inner room, placed her on his bed, and quickly took out clean towels and medicines from the drawer. While sitting beside her, the tall figure rolled up her The sleeves, moving quickly and neatly, changed the dressing for the wound on her right arm.
"The medicine has been changed." When Dongfang Ling was changing the medicine for her, she knew that she was deceived by her bitter plan. Once the medicine was changed, she would get up and leave without even looking at her.
"Wait a moment."
Bing'er saw him hanging back on his indifferent face, she was too anxious to think about it, she stretched out her arms, took the initiative to cling to his neck, and threw her arms into her arms. Dongfang Ling was stunned for a moment, the warm fragrance of nephrite jade in his arms made his heart flutter, and his iron arms couldn't help but hug her back, his dark black pupils stared at the beautiful face in his arms that made him love and pity, while her beautiful eyes were looking at her aggrievedly. follow him.
"What are you doing, take the initiative to embrace."
Does her initiative to get close mean that she is finally enlightened, understands his intentions, and has feelings for him
"Don't be angry anymore, Dongfang Ling, I know I'm wrong, don't ignore me anymore." She buried her head on his neck, wrapped her arms around him tightly, her clear voice was a little flustered.
"Bing'er, why do you care about me ignoring you?" The smiling handsome face was pampered, his chin rested on the top of her head, his big palm caressed her black and smooth blue silk, and the other palm clasped her waist.
"... I know you like me, I... too, so don't ignore me anymore, I'll be very sad." The crisp voice contained a touch of shyness, and the scorpion didn't dare to lift it up and stayed in his arms. .
The smile on Dongfang Ling's face deepened, and the iron arms hugged her even more, her heart was already overwhelmed with ecstasy. The person he loved deeply in his arms finally understood his feelings for her, and what made him happiest was that she also had the same feelings for him.
"Promise me, you are not allowed to take risks in the future, let alone hurt yourself."
"I promise."
She agreed very quickly, the pretty face buried in his neck flushed crimson, secretly relieved, he was finally not angry. If I had known that it was so effective to say that I liked him, she would have
Opened up.
"What if you lied to me?" Knowing her temperament, he could never trust her too much.
"Then punish me to leave Dongfang Mansion and never see you again."
As soon as the words fell, his body was suddenly pulled up, and he met a pair of dangerous black pupils. "Are you punishing yourself, or are you punishing me?" Dongfang Ling's face sank, grabbed her slender shoulders, and asked with gritted teeth.
Bing'er swallowed her saliva, her arms hurriedly hugged him, her head rested on his chest lightly, and comforted: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong, then... I'll let you deal with it?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Ling's face softened a little, and his iron arms hugged her tightly, wishing to rub her into his body. He was really in love with her, and he warned her, "Remember your words."
◆ ◆
Some people have always been curious, and if they don't get an answer, they will never give up. This is the main reason why Bing'er appears in this uninhabited alley at this time.
In the daytime, the Yihong Courtyard is quiet, different from the bustling and bustling night. Looking at the back door of Yihong Courtyard, Bing'er's mind was still the scene she saw that night. Finally, when Dongfang Ling was in a meeting with the principals and had no time to pay attention to her, she could have the opportunity to sneak out of the house. When she thought of Dongfang Ling's distrust of her, she was angry! Ever since he knew each other's affection, he always loved her to be by his side more than her father, but while she was complaining, she also enjoyed his favor. It seemed that she was destined to be eaten by him. .
"Miss Luo, what are you doing here?" Just as she looked at the back door and sighed in a trance, a clear voice came to her side, accompanied by a long, silvery figure. It's a jade-faced hunter.
Binger's pretty face couldn't hide her surprise, why did she meet him again? Together with that night, could it be that he was pursuing a case
"Then why are you here?"
Could it be that the case he was investigating had something to do with what she accidentally discovered? With a light smile on Junmei's face, she glanced at her right arm and asked with concern, "Is your injury healed? I'm sorry, I accidentally hurt you that night."
"It's all right." Her eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked at him in astonishment. This person's attitude towards her must have been too different! His attitude towards her that night was not as kind and polite as he is today, and what was even weirder was that he even apologized to her.
"That's good." Seeing him sighing lightly, he seemed relieved a lot, and this move attracted her attention.
The two stopped talking, each with their own thoughts and aspirations to look into the courtyard together. "That night I sneaked into the Yihong Courtyard to steal the deed of prostitution, but I didn't expect to discover a strange thing." Binger took the initiative to bring up the topic, but Meimei never moved her eyes away. If she guessed right, maybe he will need her help.
Her words caught his attention, and there was deep thought in his eyes, looking at her beautiful profile.
"what have you found?"
Ling Xiao's beautiful eyes stared at his calm expression, and her pink lips parted lightly: "I found a dozen girls in a small room, and the doors and windows were either locked or sealed; if I guessed That's right, are you pursuing this case?"
A flash of admiration flashed across his eyes. This woman was not only smart but also courageous. He understood why Dongfang Ling would fall in love with her. "You're right," he simply admitted.
"May I tell you the details, or maybe I can help you, maybe." There is hope in the clear eyes, if he agrees, then she can take advantage of it.
machine requests.
Jade-faced Shenchao glanced at her carefully, and slowly revealed the case he had been investigating for a long time: "About a month ago, I was in Baiyang Town and found that many young girls disappeared for no reason, no matter how the government searched, they found nothing. , so I suspected that it was the work of human traffickers; I followed it all the way through five towns, and the same situation happened, and then I traced it to Luoyang, but I didn't hear any news about the girl's disappearance.
Originally, I should have been happy for the people of Luoyang City, but I felt that something was wrong, so I boldly assumed that the traffickers concentrated all the missing girls in Luoyang City, but I didn’t expect it to be true. After searching all the brothels in Luoyang City, the missing girls were found in Yihong Courtyard. I suspect that this is not ordinary human trafficking, someone else is behind it. "
The more Binger listened, the more shocked she became. She didn't expect that she had guessed correctly. All those girls were caught.
"I think you should have guessed who the main messenger is behind it, but there is no evidence, right?" Jun Mei's face was shocked at first, then a series of hearty laughter sounded, he looked directly at her with admiration, and once again said Admire her intelligence.
"Miss Luo, you are indeed Bingxue smart. That's right, I have guessed who is behind all this."
"who is it?"
"Luoyang County magistrate Liu Huanchang."
Bing'er's beautiful face couldn't hide her surprise, how could it be possible that all this was done by her parents! Why does he want to know the law and break the law? "Why him? What reason does he have to do this?"
"I secretly found an unknown inside story. The Yihong Courtyard was actually established by the magistrate Liu, and the maid is just a name. The magistrate Liu is more than fifty years old, but he has ten wives and concubines. He took some of the girls collected from various places into his own, and the rest either stayed in Yihong Court to receive guests, or rewarded the court officials he wanted to curry favor with. His reputation in Luoyang City was fairly clean, so why didn't he dare to touch it? In addition to being afraid of ruining his political performance, there is another big reason for the girl in the city."
"what reason?"
"It's just because there are two families in the city of Luoyang, Dongfang Mansion and Fang Mansion." He waved his hand.
Interrupting her inevitable question, he continued: "Although the masters of these two great mansions have already returned home, and Master Dongfang has passed away, the power behind them cannot be underestimated! Just talking about the mansion is good. The emperor's most favored concubine Lan Gui is the sister of Mrs. Fang. As for the other Dongfang Mansion, you will understand in the future."
After hearing all this, Bing'er couldn't have any other reaction besides being shocked, but what surprised her was that he trusted her so much and confessed to her.
"Then what are you going to do now?" "This is where I am embarrassed. Even though I know all this, I don't have enough evidence to force him to confess."
"I can help you." Bing'er's beautiful eyes looked at him firmly, her beautiful and delicate face was very serious, and it didn't seem like she was joking at all.
"What did you say?" He widened his eyes in amazement, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"I can be your undercover agent. We should work together inside and outside. I believe the case will be solved soon."
"No." Jade-faced God Chau didn't even think about it, he denied it with excitement, and upon closer inspection, he could see cold sweat on his handsome face.
"Why? I have martial arts to protect myself, so I won't be in danger! Don't you want to solve the case as soon as possible?" Bing'er wondered why he wouldn't.
"I said no, but no." He suddenly felt a headache, lightly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and turned his heels, intending to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Bing'er's figure flashed, blocking his way, looking at his embarrassed look with a puzzled face.
"I'm willing to help you solve the case, but I'm actually selfish too." He raised his eyebrows, stared at the pretty face she was looking forward to, and motioned her to continue with his eyes.
"I want to help you solve the case, please promise me one thing too."
"What's up?"
"I want you to help me revoke the orders issued by the major governments to hunt down our father and daughter." She and her father did not regret being wanted by the government for stealing those precious treasures. Interesting, but as my father is getting older, it is really not suitable for those days of hiding, so she came up with this exchange condition.
Jade-faced arrest is a title bestowed by the current emperor. It has a gold medal that can be ordered to support the major officials. Its authority is so large that if an illegal official is found, he can first take off his black gauze cap, and then submit a memorial. For him, the revocation of the general order was only a trivial matter. For him, he was not disadvantaged by the exchange.
Looking at her for a long time, seeing the persistence in her beautiful eyes, she couldn't help sighing.
"Okay, but you have to follow my arrangements and don't be reckless. If something goes wrong, run away first." She was right, the case really couldn't be delayed any longer, and if he had her as an inner responder, I believe it would be twice the result with half the effort.
"Don't worry, I will obey your arrangements." A charming smile bloomed on Jumei's face. When the case was solved, she would tell her father the good news immediately! She was overly happy, she had already forgotten what she promised Dongfang Ling, and naturally she also forgot his warning.
Looking at her rare beauty, he had no doubts in his heart that Magistrate Liu would definitely fall for it! As long as they are men, they will never let go of such stunning women. But if something goes wrong... He couldn't help shivering, and suddenly felt his head hurt again. Now, he can only act carefully, and he will never allow a little mistake in this matter.
