Chapter 496
"Fell off a cliff?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, "It's a bit of a coincidence."

Well, who would go to assassinate Yongmu?And the few unrelated people who followed behind her just happened to disappear just like that.

Her prescription entered the palace to testify that the current Yongmu was taken away by Cen Niang of the Mei family. In another place, Yongmu went out of the city to meet an assassin, and his whereabouts were unknown after falling off a cliff.

He Zheng also frowned and said in a concentrated voice: "This subordinate suspects that this so-called assassination may not be so simple."

Xiao Lingjiang rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed softly: "It's just a play she directed and acted on her own. It's a pity that people who don't belong to the company..."

The group of assassins, on the surface, was going towards Yongmu, but in fact, the butcher's knife was swung towards them, who were actually following Yongmu secretly.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes were slightly cold: "What's going on outside?"

He Zheng said: "When the family reported to the officials, they didn't cover it up. I think that the incident of Princess Yongmu's fall from the cliff will soon become known to everyone. Commander Chen of Wu Desi heard the news and took people to look for it. ..."

Xiao Lingjiang gave a low "hmm": "Chen Nie is probably going to return for nothing this time."

The water flowing down the cliff was swift, and it was winter again, so it was not easy to find someone.What's more, that person has deliberately set up a trap, so that if he disappears, no one will be able to find him.

Yesterday the emperor passed Yongmu into the palace, if she followed her word, she might not be able to escape the joint temptation of Xiao Lingjiang and Yuan Buxie.But if he didn't enter the palace or ran away directly, it would be a disguised form to confirm the possibility of the house grabbing.

This time, it can be described as a dilemma.

However, this disappearance has suddenly turned into a situation that can be advanced or retreated.

No matter how much the emperor doubted her, such things had not been confirmed, so they could not be made public.Otherwise, the majestic Princess of Zhou was taken over by someone. Once the world hears about it, what kind of discussions and chaos will arise.

The step of Yongmu being assassinated and then falling off the cliff can be regarded as avoiding the immediate danger for the time being.

It's justifiable that she didn't see her.As for the future, when the time is right, she can still use this reason to return suddenly and unharmed.

After all, it is such a thing as falling off a cliff, whether it is life or death, no one can say for sure.Could it be that she had another adventure?

Xiao Lingjiang sneered in her heart, she was really good, even if she ran, she still left a way out for herself.

However, since Yongmu set up the disappearance situation and made it known to all, then no matter how much he tried to find her, it seemed that it would not be too much.

After all, this is the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xiao Lingjiang got up and went to find Yuan Buxie, discussed the matter with him, and arranged the funeral of the colleague who unfortunately died with everyone in the department, and then returned to the mansion.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, but once all these incidents happen, this New Year's Eve will not be so easy no matter whether it is inside or outside the palace.

The lanterns on the veranda of the mansion were already lit, the candles were flickering, and the light and shadow reflected on the ground also danced slightly.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, Xiao Lingjiang felt a chill on her face, when she looked up, she saw fluffy white snow fluttering down from the air.

"It's snowing!" She narrowed her eyes slightly, stopped for a moment, and then continued to move forward.

Back in her own courtyard, Qiong Zhi hurried forward to take the cloak from her, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Prince Pei is here."

People around them all knew about the relationship between their own princess and Pei Shizi, and it was no surprise now.Prince Pei came to look for the princess, if she happened to be away, he could just take him to the study temporarily.

"Okay." Xiao Lingjiang turned his feet and arrived in front of the study.

The room was brightly lit, she opened the door and stepped into it, the warm yellow candlelight also shone along her skirt and lit up her whole body.

A familiar figure sat in front of the short table by the window, looked up when he heard the movement, and smiled slightly at her.

Somehow, after walking all the way from the cold wind, my cold heart seemed to be covered and warmed up.

"Is it cold? Come and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up." Pei You picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for her.

Xiao Lingjiang walked over, sat down across from the short couple, and took the transparent celadon cup, the heat of the tea passed through the cup wall to her fingertips.

She lowered her head and took a sip, and couldn't help sighing contentedly.

"How is it? My new tea leaves, don't they taste good?" Pei You looked at the smile on her face with gentle eyes.

Xiao Lingjiang nodded: "That's good. Could it be that you came tonight to give tea to me?"

Pei You smiled and pointed to the tea pot beside him: "The tea is ready for you."

He looked at Xiao Ling and Jiang Wan'er, took her hand, and sighed: "Ah Heng, you were injured in Chizhou, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Lingjiang said helplessly: "That guy Chi Kuo told you?"

Chi Kuo, as Father Huang's ghost, doesn't have any close friends, she and Pei You are the only ones who can chat and laugh with him.

When going out, Chi Koo would either stay in her bag, or follow her in a phantom form, but when he was in the mansion, he could come and go freely, and occasionally even sneaked into Pei You's mansion to wander.

Except for Chi Kuo's big mouth, no one else would dare to say what she wanted to hide.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Xiao Lingjiang patted his hand, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips.

"Isn't it good now? Just take care of yourself."

Pei You's ears turned red all of a sudden, but he immediately put his arms around her waist, stopping her upper body that was about to retreat.

After the lingering, he said: "I have already sent a letter to the old alchemy doctor Xue, asking him to come to Yingdu. With your current body, repeated injuries are always very worrying."

"Okay, okay, I will pay attention. You, you are obviously a handsome young man, but you always act like an old man, worrying all day long." Xiao Lingjiang smiled and raised his head to caress his cheek. On the forehead, "Look, if the brows are still locked, wrinkles will appear in the future."

Pei You lowered his head and looked into her eyes: "If I have wrinkles, Ah Heng, will you still despise me?"

"That's not necessarily true." Xiao Lingjiang blinked mischievously, "There are so many beautiful young men in the world, if you become an old man, I won't guarantee that I won't fall in love with you."

When Pei You heard this, she immediately stretched her brows, and her handsome face was getting closer and closer to her.

He bowed his head, put his forehead against Xiao Lingjiang's, and murmured: "How can anyone in the world know you like me? Ah Heng, I'm an old man, and I'm also the most beautiful old man in the world. Are you just looking at me alone?"

"I'm just joking with you." Xiao Lingjiang laughed aloud, and then looked at him seriously, "As far as I am concerned, there is no one like Ah Pei in this world."

If she really fell in love with others easily, she wouldn't have met Pei You after going around for more than 20 years.

Hearing this, Pei You's eyes immediately filled with a smile.
