A faint fragrance came to the nostrils. In the carriage, an eight or nine-year-old girl and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid were sitting upright, with panic on their faces, as if they were frightened by him. The carriage is very comfortably furnished, with thick carpets underneath, the sides and top are also carefully decorated with silk cloth, the small table fixed at the bottom of the carriage, the food boxes containing snacks... everything seems to be in order, no wonder It looks like a thief has invaded.
But because of his duties, he still clasped his fists, and said politely to Nangong Yue: "This Nangong girl is offended, we are searching for an assassin, and we seem to have seen your carriage on South Street before." , have you ever seen that assassin?"
Nangong Yue seemed a little terrified, but tried to calm down, and said: "My lord, I have never seen any assassins."
That Jin Yiwei didn't care what Nangong Yue said at all, his eyes were fixed on the stool that Nangong Yue was sitting on... As far as he knew, this kind of box-like stool in the carriage often also has the function of storage. A cold light flashed in his eyes, his eyes fixed on a piece of blue cloth at the corner of Nangong Yue's skirt, and he said sharply: "Miss Nangong, please get up! Our Jin Yiwei is searching for the assassin, please cooperate, so as not to hurt the girl at that time. It's not beautiful." His words seemed to be kind, but there was a strong sharpness in his brows and eyes, and his tone was cold.
"Since it's Jin Yiwei's work, it's necessary to cooperate." Nangong Yue hurriedly got up, "Yimei, let's get out of the car and let Jin Yiwei search." After that, she got out of the carriage with Yimei's support.
The brocade guard cautiously took a step forward, pulled out the silver pocket at his waist, pointed at the gap of the storage stool with the tip of his sword, and opened the cover... He took a step back vigilantly, but saw that there was a hole in the long storage stool. There was no one hiding at all, only a folded thin quilt, a few changes of clothes, a few squares of handkerchiefs, and an embroidery basket, and the blue cloth he just saw was one of the handkerchiefs. The contents of the storage stool are clear at a glance, and there is no room for a big man to hide.
Jin Yiwei was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly got out of the carriage, and apologized to Nangong Yue again: "Miss Nangong, if you bother me, you can go."
With Yimei's support, Nangong Yue boarded the carriage again, only to hear the Jin Yiwei shout: "Go, keep chasing!"
Then there was a sound of horseshoes "stamping" galloping, and when the sound was farther away, the coachman outside asked nervously: "Miss Yimei, has Third Miss ever been frightened?"
"It's okay, Uncle Laifu." Yimei breathed a long sigh of relief, her whole body seemed to be exhausted, and her whole body was weak, "Continue to go to the tea house."
"Okay! Drive!"
The carriage continued to move forward, Nangong Yue and Yimei opened the storage board again, took out the contents one by one, and then removed the partition, the masked boy and the sick boy were hiding under the partition, their bodies curled up into a ball, Clinging to each other, both of them were sweating profusely.
The young man was fine, he was young and strong, but the sick young man had already breathed in less and exhaled more, he was dying, as if he was going to die at any time.
The young man climbed out by himself first, then carried the sick young master out, and shouted nervously: "Young master!"
The sick boy smiled weakly and said: "Xiao... Si, I'm fine..."
Nangong Yue really couldn't see him talking big, and said coldly from the side: "You are fine, but you just got the most strange poison in the world!"
"You..." The boy stared wide-eyed, looking at Nangong Yue in disbelief.
"Don't look at me, I can't help him detoxify." Nangong Yue took out the purse with silver needles again, danced her right hand gracefully, and stabbed ten needles on the sick young man in the blink of an eye, "What I can do It's just to delay the onset of toxicity..." But thinking in his heart, if this sick child died in his carriage, this wolf cub-like boy would probably do something.
She didn't show it on the face, and only acted like a genius doctor, pretending to regret: "Unfortunately, the poison has completely damaged his internal organs, even if there is a chance to detoxify him in the future, he will not be able to recover... "
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The young man was about to move forward excitedly, but was stopped by the sick young man: "Little Si, he is kind enough to help us, don't be reckless!" Then, he looked at Nangong Yue gratefully, "No matter what the girl is for, Thank you for your help today!" From his tone, it is obvious that Nangong Yue's thoughts are clearly seen.
Nangong Yue curled her lips bored in her heart, it's really boring to deal with such a thoughtful person.
After that, the two groups of people never talked again... until the carriage finally arrived at Qingyue Tea House in the east of the city.
In order to deceive others, Nangong Yue got out of the carriage accompanied by Yimei, and bought two boxes of tea and came back... When she returned to the carriage again, there was no one in the carriage.
Nangong Yue and Yimei looked at each other, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell.
"Yimei, this matter is of great importance, you must not tell anyone, even the nanny!"
"Third Miss, this servant knows." Yimei complied naturally.
**◆**
When they returned to Nangong Mansion, Mrs. Lin and Nangong Xin had waited anxiously at the door of Nangong Yue's room for a long time. When they saw their daughter coming back, they rushed up excitedly and were about to hug her, but Nangong Xin pushed them to the front.
"Sister, sister...you really scared me to death!" Nangong Xin hugged Nangong Yue with red eyes, her eyes were wet, and said regretfully, "I should go with you!" flashing.
Nangong Yue also hugged her brother back, and comforted her softly: "Brother, mother, I'm fine, but there were so many people on the street at that time, the horse was a little frightened and ran around, so I came back a bit late. You see , am I not coming back?"
Nangong Xin still hugged Nangong Yue tightly, even trembling faintly, and said childishly: "Sister, I will never leave you again! We will always be together forever!"
"Well! Brother, I don't want to leave you either!" Nangong Yue also said childishly, hugged her brother back even harder, and patted his back with her palm...
Hearing this, Lin couldn't help laughing: "Men and women are different, don't mess around!...Okay, Brother Xin, let go of your sister." She pulled Nangong Xin away, looked at Nangong Yue carefully, and finally Rest assured, "Sister Yue, that's great, you're fine. Mother thought... thought you were kidnapped..."
As she said that, Lin's emotions became a little agitated again, and she began to choke, which made Nangong Yue feel a little sour. After the extremely thrilling experience before, she said she was not afraid at all, that was a lie, but now she is so worried and loved by her mother Seeing this, Nangong Yue's heart that used to be a steelmaker also instantly turned into soft fingers, smiled slightly, and said: "Mother, I'm fine."
"Ah!" Mrs. Lin hurriedly said as if she had suddenly thought of something, "Your father went to a classmate's house today. When I went back to the mansion and found out that you were scattered by the crowd, I specially sent someone to give your father Send the news, I'm afraid he is rushing home at this time, and I have to send someone to report his safety." As she spoke, she called Linglong, a maidservant, to report Nangong Mu's safety, and then took a pair of children into the room. house.
Nangong Yue quietly followed Lin and Nangong Xin into the house, but thousands of thoughts flashed in her heart. She didn't know who the masked boy who held them hostage today and his master... The problem was, even if she sent her maid out to inquire, she couldn't find anything.
Thinking of the dozen or so imposing Jin Yiwei today, and thinking about the extraordinary skill of the masked boy, Nangong Yue felt that those two people should not be ordinary thieves. The cuffs of the flying fish suits worn by Jin Yiwei seemed to be embroidered with a fire cloud pattern... Huo Yunwei?! Although Huo Yunwei was also a Jin Yiwei, he was close to the emperor.
Suddenly, the scars all over the body of the sick boy appeared in Nangong Yue's mind, and Nangong Yue suddenly had an idea, could it be that the sick boy was a prisoner, and the masked boy robbed the prison or the execution ground
At this time, Yanniang walked in holding a wooden tray, on which was a porcelain bowl with white background and blue and white smoke emitting white smoke.
"Sister Yue," Mrs. Lin pulled her daughter to sit down, and waved to Yanniang, "Mother asked the kitchen to make tea for you, drink it while it's hot."
The so-called shock-suppressing tea is brewed with calming grass, and that calming grass, as the name suggests, can slow down the heartbeat and relax the nerves.
Although Nangong Yue felt that she didn't need it, Nangong Xin stared at her with burning eyes and comforted her: "Sister, the shock tea is a bit bitter, but I prepared pine nut sugar for you." He took out a purse from his bosom, and carefully stuffed the whole purse into Nangong Yue, "Mother only allows me to eat two pine nut candies a day. I have saved this for half a month, and I will give it to you!"
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, she had the courage to drink the Jingjing tea, and then accepted the bag of pine nut candy kindly. "Thank you brother!" She looked at her brother with a heartbroken expression and took out two candies from her purse, gave one to herself, and stuffed the other into his mouth.
"Sister, you are so kind..."
Before the words fell, Que'er's voice came from outside the house: "See the second master."
Nangong Mu strode into the room, and when he saw Nangong Yue, he let out a long sigh of relief, "Sister Yue, fortunately you are fine."
He thought in fear: Fortunately, sister Yue is back, what if something happens to the assassin if he really wants to run into it!
The eyes of the father and daughter met, and the complex emotions in Nangong Mu's eyes were completely reflected in Nangong Yue's eyes, including concern, tension, fear, and then relief, joy, and fear...
Dad really cares about himself. Nangong Yue couldn't help but her heart tightened, her eyes turned sour, and she softly comforted her: "Daddy, I'm fine. I was just scattered by the crowd today, and the horse was also a little startled. If you don't believe me, you can see."
She stood up pretending to be brisk, and turned around in a circle, the corners of her skirt fluttered, looking very playful and cute. Nangong Mu and his wife couldn't help but smile at each other, while Nangong Xin applauded for his younger sister: "My younger sister is so beautiful."
"Daddy," Nangong Yue sat down beside Nangong Mu, and asked curiously, "What happened on South Street today? I seem to have seen Jin Yiwei..."
