The rebirth of the first daughter to chase after the husband

Chapter 45 The figure outside the door

In Yueqing Temple, the two of them were in the temple again with their followers.

There are bells hanging under the eaves in the corridors of the temple. When the wind blows, they jingle continuously.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

Lu Chaoyan felt that if Shen Lili had wanted to come early in the morning, it would not have happened until now.

"This is not going to Gongsun Mansion to look for you. If you are not here, I come here to look for you!"

Shen Lili looked at Lu Chaoyan without shame and said.

In fact, she came here this time because she knew that Nanyang King Meng Wanzhou had also come to Leqing Temple. She was afraid that this Meng Wanzhou would be bad for her mother, so she rushed over quickly.

"By the way." Shen Lili suddenly said with a look of disgust: "What is this smell on you? Where have you been?"

"It's the smell of rotting corpses..."

Before Lu Chao could finish speaking, Shen Lili covered his mouth with a handkerchief, almost vomited it out on the spot.

"Chun'er, hurry up! I want to take a shower and change clothes!"

"Yes! Miss!"

Shen Lili quickly left with the toon, he really couldn't bear the disgusting smell.

Only then did Lu Chaoyan realize that the smell on his body was indeed too strong, and he told Bai Ji who was behind him, "Ask someone to prepare water."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Shen Lili, who was bathing in the wooden barrel, lowered her head and smelled the smell on her body, and it was gone, and she smiled comfortably.

Xiang Toon, who was pinching her shoulders behind her, looked lazy, and asked wonderingly: "Miss, you said that he is a noble Marquis, how could he smell like a corpse?"

When Xiang Toon said this, Shen Lili also felt strange, and Lu Chaoyan didn't seem like a nosy guy, so why did he have such a smell?
A servant girl came in with a rose petal in her hand, bowed her head and said, "Your servant has seen Miss."

"Mother sent you here?"

"Yes."

This servant girl was also just promoted. Madam Shen saw that Shen Lili only brought a servant girl like Xiang Toon, and she was afraid that she would not take good care of her, so she sent a servant girl to help.

The maid squatted beside Shen Lili, holding the petals in both hands, and slowly putting them into the barrel.

Shen Lili suddenly asked her: "What's so special about this Yueqing Temple?"

The servant girl thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "This servant is clumsy, but I didn't see anything weird. There is one thing that makes Madam restless."

"What's the matter?" Hearing that her mother was restless, Shen Lili grabbed the edge of the barrel with excited hands, and the water in the barrel made noises with her movements.

"It's strange to say that there is a wall opposite the room where the madam lives. Behind that wall, several corpses appeared for no reason. The slaves heard that the corpses were still warm, and they had just died. Then they were killed by Lord Hou. Arranged to Yizhuang."

After listening to it, Shen Lili immediately understood where the smell on Lu Chaoyan's body came from: "I just said why he has this smell on him."

Then he asked about Mrs. Shen's situation: "Where's mother? How is she? Is she injured?"

"No, madam is just afraid that these people are not good, so she is restless."

"It seems that you can't stay here for long. You go back and tell your mother. If you can, go back tonight!"

"Yes, the servant will go here."

"Miss, are the deaths of these people related to King Nanyang?"

Toon has a serious face.

"Why do you suspect Meng Wanzhou?"

Is it because he is here?
"The servant thinks that the lady is suspicious of King Nanyang, the servant is right!"

Xiang Toon waited expectantly for Shen Lili to praise her for being smart.

"Nonsense! Miss Ben has no grievances with him, why would she doubt him?"

"intuition!"

Shen Lili looked at the fog evaporating in the wooden barrel, her eyes were hazy, as if she could vaguely see someone's back, that was the last time she saw him leave.

There was a chill on her back, obviously the water temperature was just right, but she felt so cold, the mist surrounding her made her feel chilly.

"Chun'er, bring some more hot water."

Xiang Toon reached into the barrel, the water was still warm, adding more hot water was afraid of scalding Shen Lili: "Miss, the water temperature is appropriate, adding more water may hurt Miss."

"It's okay, just do it."

She just feels cold all over her body now, and wants to warm her body by adding some hot water.

"Yes."

Xiang Toon had no choice but to go behind the screen to bring a bucket of hot water over. Just as he was about to lift it up and pour it into the wooden bucket, he saw a figure outside the room, lying there stealthily listening.

Shen Lili also noticed it. Looking at Xiang Toon, Xiang Toon put the barrel gently, took out a throwing knife, and threw it towards the figure, hitting the man's arm.

It was a man who was lying in ambush. He was silent and quickly evacuated when he was discovered.

"Miss, do you want to go after her?"

"No need, see you later."

Shen Lili had already sensed that figure approaching, but she just wanted to see what this man wanted to do.

It's just that he lay there for a long time, but he didn't do it for a long time, so his purpose was not to kill himself.

And when he got close, he could faintly smell a faint fragrance, which Shen Lili had never smelled before.

But I feel like I've smelled it somewhere.

On the other side, as soon as Lu Chaoyan came out of the wash, Bai Ji said beside him, "Master Hou, my subordinate just saw a man in black in the direction of Miss Shen's room."

Before Bai Ji finished speaking, Lu Chaoyan asked anxiously, "How is she?"

"Miss Shen didn't make any noise, but the man in black was injured on his left arm, which should have been caused by Xiang Toon's darts. His subordinates chased him all the way, and the man was very good at lightness kung fu, and his force was stronger than his subordinates." , if it comes to kill Miss Shen, it is impossible to miss."

"Could it be Nanyang King?"

Lu Chaoyan was worried that Meng Wanzhou would become angry because of the failure of his subordinate's mission, and wanted to attack Shen Lili.

"The subordinates think that it is unlikely to be the King of Nanyang. At that time, the King of Nanyang went to see Mrs. Shen."

"See Mrs. Shen?"

If Meng Wanzhou came to Leqing Temple to rush to Mrs. Shen, if Nanyang King knew that Shen Lili was also here, he might not be able to help but wag his tail.

Bai Ji looked at Lu Chaoyan with a serious expression. His wife was being missed, and no other man could bear it.

"Master Hou, do you want to go and see Miss Shen?"

Bai Ji said cautiously.

Lu Chaoyan turned around and went back to his room, picked up a book and read it. Since Shen Lili was fine, there was no need to visit her.

Bai Ji really couldn't figure out what Lu Chaoyan was thinking. He just said that Shen Lili was in danger, so he couldn't be in a hurry, but then he didn't go to her when he heard that there was nothing wrong. He was really a strange person.

In the capital

"Princess, the wife of Shen's mansion went out early in the morning, even Miss Shen, and she hasn't returned to the mansion until now, is something wrong?"

Zhu Lan didn't know where else to go to inquire about the news, she was almost dying of anxiety.

Seeing Ye Wen standing outside the door, Na Tuya disappeared at some point, and asked, "Where did Miss Ye go?"

"How does this servant know where she has gone! She doesn't want to say too much, maybe she will report to the empress again!"

I've been with Ye Wen for a few days, but Julan hasn't spoken a few words to her, and doesn't answer her questions, which makes Julan so angry.
