After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 151 Husband, I want to take a bath

Realizing this, she looked stunned.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

For a moment, she felt as if she was dreaming.

Lu Xingzhi came back...he even kissed her...

"Chongxi, call the doctor quickly!" Lu Xingzhi ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Chongxi responded and left.

Qiao Jingjing came to her senses and said quickly: "I'm not injured, there's no need to call a doctor."

"Not injured?" Lu Xingzhi was startled.

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded affirmatively.

"Then the blood on your body..."

"It belongs to Shen Tingzhi. He is dead." Qiao Jingjing pointed to the body not far away and said with lingering fear.

What just happened happened too suddenly.

As soon as she squatted down, Shen Tingzhi was shot to death with an arrow.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked: "Did your people shoot it?"

"No." Lu Xingzhi shook his head, glanced at Shen Tingzhi's body, and frowned, "Lin Jiu has already gone after the man who shot the arrow."

"If your men didn't shoot it, who could it be?" Qiao Jingjing was very surprised.

"I don't know." Lu Xingzhi shook his head, "But it must be to silence him."

"Shut up?" Qiao Jingjing was startled, thinking of something in an instant, and her face became a little solemn.

If he was silenced, it must have something to do with Prince Ning.

The person who just shot Shen Tingzhi was most likely one of Prince Ning's men.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with her?" Lu Xingzhi noticed something strange about her and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm just a little scared." Qiao Jingjing shook her head and buried her face in his arms.

Lu Xingzhi saw this and carried her into the house.

As soon as he put her on the bed, she suddenly hugged his waist tightly, "I don't want to stay here."

Shen Tingzhi died outside the door. Her heart was not strong enough to pretend that nothing happened.

"Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you." Lu Xingzhi sat down next to her.

Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but get closer to him.

Looking at the man in front of her, she finally felt a little more at ease.

"By the way, why did you come back just now?"

Lu Xingzhi explained: "I got news that someone robbed the prison and rescued Shen Tingzhi. He was the main culprit in the Chuzhou incident, and I suspected that there was a mastermind behind him. I couldn't let him escape, so I personally took people out of the city. Went to chase.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tingzhi actually spread suspicion. He actually did not leave the city. He just let people pretend to be him and escaped from the city, but he himself brought people to Heyuan.

When I found out, he had already come to Heyuan.

This time, I made an oversight and frightened you. "After speaking, his tone was full of self-blame.

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "I can't blame you. Who would have thought that Shen Tingzhi could escape after being thrown into prison? But who saved him?"

Lu Xingzhi shook his head, "When I got the news, the guards in the prison were already suffering heavy casualties."

Qiao Jingjing's heart moved, "Could it be related to the person who shot Shen Tingzhi?"

"You mean, the person who robs the prison is the one who shoots the arrow?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

"I think so." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

"But since that man wanted to kill Shen Tingzhi, why did he have to save him earlier?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

"You said earlier that the person who shot Shen Tingzhi was to silence him. In the same way, he saved Shen Tingzhi because he was afraid that he would reveal something to you. But he didn't expect that after he rescued Shen Tingzhi, Shen Tingzhi would come to Heyuan. Catch me.

When Shen Tingzhi came to capture me, the archer must have been hiding in the dark. When he saw you arriving with your men, he knew that he could not save Shen Tingzhi, so he could only kill him. " Qiao Jingjing analyzed.

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, his eyes showed appreciation, "What Madam said is not unreasonable."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "I just made a wild guess. It's up to my husband to judge the details."

"Do you know anything?" Lu Xingzhi looked at her and asked suddenly.

"I, what can I know?" Qiao Jingjing denied, "I was just guessing."

The corners of Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up, but he said nothing more, "Yeah."

Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lu Xingzhi suddenly stood up.

"Why are you going?" Qiao Jingjing saw him and quickly grabbed him.

"The clothes on your body are all stained with blood. I'll get something clean for you to change into." Lu Xingzhi said warmly.

After he said it, Qiao Jingjing remembered that there was still blood on her body and jumped out of bed quickly, saying with disgust: "Husband, I want to take a bath."

"Okay, I'll let someone boil the water." Lu Xing knew.

At this moment, Mallow and Qingyuan rushed in.

"lady……"

The two maids were frightened and their faces were filled with tears.

"It's okay, don't cry." Qiao Jingjing comforted her with a smile.

Only then did the two maids hold back their tears.

"Okay, if you are free, go down and boil some water for me. I want to take a bath." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Yes." The two maids responded respectfully.

Lu Xingzhi came over with a clean dress and said, "How about wearing this?"

Qiao Jingjing looked at the dress in his hand and nodded, "Yeah."

Lu Xingzhi handed her the dress, "You change, I'll go out first." After that, he added, "I'll be outside."

Looking at his back as he turned to go out, Qiao Jingjing opened her mouth and wanted to say that she didn't mind, but he had already walked to the door, so she had to give up. When Lu Xingzhi went out, he closed the door, but found that the door panel was shaky, as if it had been hit hard.

he mused.

"Sir, my subordinates have checked and found that Shen Tingzhi has expired." At this time, Chongxi stepped forward to report.

"Take the body down first, and when Xia Houxi arrives, ask him to take a look." Lu Xingzhi ordered.

"Yes." Chongxi responded and took Shen Tingzhi's body down.

Lu Xingzhi pondered for a moment and asked someone to call Mallow over.

"Sir, are you looking for a slave?"

"What did Shen Tingzhi do?" Lu Xingzhi asked, pointing to the house and the kerosene on the ground.

Mallow felt relieved and told what happened.

At that time, she and Qing Yuan listened to Madam's words, and soon after running out, they met the adults who rushed back. However, the adults were worried about Madam at that time, and she and Qing Yuan had not had time to report to him.

"...Fortunately, Madam is fine." She said happily.

Lu Xingzhi's face darkened.

Seeing the mess around the house, he could guess what had happened, but when he heard that Qiao Jingjing had sent herself into the hands of Shen Tingzhi in order to get the two maids out of trouble, he was shocked and angry, and felt distressed at the same time.

That girl is so stupid...

In the house, Qiao Jingjing had just changed her clothes when there was a knock on the door.

"Okay?" Lu Xingzhi asked outside the door.

"It's changed." Qiao Jingjing responded immediately.

Lu Xingzhi opened the door and walked in, handing her a glass of warm water, "Drink some water."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing took it and drank it in small sips.

Lu Xingzhi was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Don't do such dangerous things in the future."

"What?" Qiao Jingjing was confused.

"Don't be brave when you are in danger." Lu Xingzhi brushed the messy hair on the side of her face with his slender fingers, his expression showing seriousness.

The man's slightly cold fingers suddenly touched the skin on the side of her face. Qiao Jingjing's body trembled involuntarily, but after listening to his words, she finally understood what he meant.

"You know it all?"

"Are you still planning to hide it from me?" Lu Xingzhi asked back.

Qiao Jingjing lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "I'm fine anyway..."

"What if something happens?" Lu Xingzhi suddenly raised his voice.

Qiao Jingjing was startled and looked at the man's handsome face that dropped in astonishment.

This man is so cruel...

She swallowed and explained in a low voice: "At that time, I wanted to delay time and wait for you to come back, but Shen Tingzhi was so crazy that he wanted to set fire to us. The surroundings of the house were filled with kerosene. If I didn't go out, the three of us would die. Everyone will die in the fire, so I can only take a gamble, after all, Shen Tingzhi wants me..."

"Then have you ever thought about what will happen if you fall into Shen Ting's hands?" Lu Xingzhi asked in a deep voice.

"I know." Qiao Jingjing nodded, raised her eyes and looked at him with bright eyes, "But at that time, I had a feeling that you would come back in time. You see, I felt good, you really came back in time. ”

Facing the girl's bright eyes, Lu Xingzhi paused. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Next time, you can't joke with your own life."

"Definitely not." Qiao Jingjing quickly assured.

In fact, she was still frightened when she thought of what happened when Shen Ting died.

If she hadn't wanted to pick up the dagger and deliberately bent her legs to throw herself to the ground, she might have been shot by the arrow of the man in the dark as she was walking in front of Shen Ting.

She breathed out secretly.

She was really lucky this time.

"By the way, have the matters in Chuzhou City been resolved?" She changed the subject.

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved.

It seems that just as rumored outside, Lu Xingzhi not only closed down Chunhuayuan, the channel for selling Xiaoyao Powder, but also destroyed the source of Xiaoyao Powder.

Looking at the man's stern face, she blinked and praised: "Husband, you did a good job!"

"Huh?" Lu Xingzhi looked at her carefully, "You mean..."

Qiao Jingjing was startled.

In Lu Xingzhi's opinion, she had been staying in this house and was probably unaware of what was going on outside.

Thinking about it, she explained: "My husband has not come back for many days. I was very worried about you, so I asked Qingyuan to go outside to inquire about the news. So I know everything that happened in Chuzhou City in the past few days."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, his expression softened slightly and he apologized, "I made you worry."

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "My husband is here to run an errand. It's fine as long as you're fine. However, since my husband came to Chuzhou City this time and made such extraordinary achievements, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily."

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment and suddenly looked at her deeply, "I am able to achieve this extraordinary feat thanks to Madam."

"What?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat when she thought of something.

She had long suspected that he might know that the beggar was arranged by her. Now that he said it, it seemed that he really knew...

"Sir." At this time, Lin Jiu's voice sounded outside the door.

Qiao Jingjing's thoughts were interrupted and she looked out the door.

Lu Xingzhi asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"My subordinates are incompetent and failed to catch the person who fired the cold arrow." Lin Jiu stood outside the door with a look of shame on his face.

Lu Xing knew: "It's not your fault."

The man who fired the cold arrow was highly skilled in martial arts. He was able to kidnap Shen Tingzhi from the heavily guarded prison alone and seriously injured numerous officials.

"But during the fight with that man, my subordinate picked off his face towel and saw his appearance." At this time, Lin Jiu suddenly said again.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "Then go find someone to draw it and hand it over to the government so that they can issue the sea arrest documents."

"Yes." Lin Jiu responded and went down.
