Chapter 288
"Let me ask you first, what places do you go to on weekdays?"

The man seemed to have suddenly realized, "I don't go out very often except staying in the mansion on weekdays. When I usually go out, I just take her to sit in the teahouse..."

Speaking of this, something seemed to come to his mind, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Did you remember something?"

Qiao Shujian looked at him with a chapped expression, and asked eagerly.

Just now, he suddenly remembered something, the assassin couldn't wait to kill her as soon as he entered the door, if the person who opened the door was Zhuang Er... Cold sweat broke out on his body, and he didn't dare to think about the consequences at all.

"Little one, I seem to have heard her voice in the teahouse. Her identity seems to be different!"

"By the way, I remembered, she is...uh..."

Before he finished speaking, a throwing knife flew from behind and stabbed him in the throat, and the person who spoke was killed immediately.

Qiao Shujian narrowed his eyes to see the direction in which the person was flying away, tapped his foot, and followed him out - no matter who wants to harm the people around him, he must ask him whether he agrees or not!
The person who came was very skillful, he followed closely all the time, seeing that the person seemed to want to dump him on purpose, so he shot him violently.From his martial arts moves, he found that the person who came seemed to have the intention of making a quick decision, so he made a fool of himself, released the glowworm that he carried with him, and quietly attached to that person.As for himself, he pretended to be hit by him and fell down.

Watching the man in black fly away, a smug smile slipped from the corner of his mouth—see how you can escape my palm this time.

Behind him, Qi Shuyun caught up with some embarrassment, "Shujian, are you okay?"

"It's okay, tonight, let's wait to catch the turtle in the urn!"

"Uh, didn't you lose track?"

Qiao Shujian ignored him and walked back on his own.Well, I didn't sleep well all night, so I went back to sleep.

"Shuyun, go to the palace and tell Lianxi to strengthen his guard. I'm afraid it will be uneasy these few days!"

Qi Shuyun's face was filled with black lines, and he actually asked him to be an errand boy?So he asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?"

"Go back to sleep!"

Resisting the urge to curse, he gestured his middle finger to Qiao Shujian's back.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be eyes behind him, and he turned around and smiled at him, making Qi Shuyun's goosebumps fall from the smile.

The imperial palace, the womb of the crown prince.

"What did you say? Someone died in the Qi Mansion last night?"

After hearing what Qi Shuyun said, Meng Lianxi stood up abruptly.Then, he looked at the red makeup standing aside with a slight change in complexion, and said in a cold voice, "Is there anything you didn't tell me about last night?"

This was the first time in his life that he was angry with Hong Zhuang.

Hong Zhuang walked up to him, held his big hand, and sighed softly, "Brother Xi, if I don't tell you, I have my own reasons for not telling your father, so why do you insist on knowing?"

In fact, when Meng Lianxi woke up in the morning, he had a faint feeling that last night was far less peaceful than he thought.

"Zhuanger, let's say we won't hide anything!"

"So, shouldn't you be honest with me too?"

Meng Lianxi's eyes darkened slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Qi Shuyun, who was standing aside, was sweating profusely. What are these two doing?Why doesn't he seem to understand?
"Shuyun, you go back first and let Shujian arrange everything. Tonight we will catch the turtle together! I want to see who dared to provoke me like this?"

There was a tinge of hostility in his voice, and the fact that he didn't hide it showed how deep his anger was.

Qi Shuyun looked at this and that, just nodded, and retreated.

Alas, it's hard for honest officials to decide on housework, so let them make troubles by themselves!
In other words, why aren't he and Kasili so entangled?
Thinking about it this way, his family, Kasili, is the best. She has always been a frank and good child, and has never kept anything from him.And he also told her everything...

Thinking of his dead wife, his smile faded unconsciously...

Lift your head and look up at the sky.He was thinking, is there a cloud in the sky that is her?
If anything, he wanted to ask her, did she miss him as much as he missed her?

"Tell me, what happened last night?"

After all, Meng Lianxi couldn't bear to be angry with her, so he held her hand, sat on the steps, and caressed her hand carefully.

"Last night, actually I didn't intend to go back to the palace, but I found a strange smell in the room that Aunt Meng prepared for us. I didn't think there was anything about this smell at first, but when I saw the sandalwood on the table, I found something was wrong. I couldn't let any possible factors happen. So, without notifying Aunt Meng and them, I brought you back without authorization!"

Meng Lianxi frowned, "Yesterday, didn't we let a double come back instead of us?"

Hong Zhuang shook her head, "I don't know about this either. I just sensed something was wrong and didn't dare to take risks. Who knows, on the way, we really met a person with extraordinary kung fu..."

Recalling the fight last night, Hong Zhuang was really a little scared. If it wasn't for Ri Ying and the others who came in time, the two of them would have already been killed by the sword.

"Then why didn't you tell me this morning?"

"The atmosphere is so good in the morning, why bother to be in a bad mood? Besides, aren't we all fine?" Hong Zhuang paused, then suddenly smiled mischievously, "Actually, I'm not hiding it from you, it's because you can't remember, and What has it to do with me?"

No matter how you hear this, it sounds irresponsible.

"You, you are still so good at making ideas, what should I do with you?"

He touched her little face lovingly, and his tone was unusually pampering.

"It's up to you to tell me, what have you been doing without telling me these past few days? Have you discovered the identity of the person who cast a gu on me?"

"Since you guessed it all, why are you still asking me?"

She pouted, "I always have to confirm, don't I?"

"Tell me, let's think about how to deal with them together. I've thought about it, I don't want to be kind and make the bad guys happy, but make you so sad!"

Meng Lianxi was very happy about her awakening, how should I put it.

It's rare for her to be so self-conscious, after all, she knows his worries!

However, thinking about the identity of that person, Meng Lianxi couldn't relax anymore.

"Zhuang'er, before I say anything, you should stabilize your mood first!" He gave her a precaution first, because he was a little caught off guard when he knew.

"What's wrong? So serious all of a sudden?"

Hongzhuang felt that his expression was too serious, it seemed a bit...

Could it be that the person who dealt with her is by her side?
"Don't worry, you say it, I listen to it!"

"If my guess is correct, what happened last night should be done by a group of people, and the target was you! They were afraid that they would not succeed in the Qi Mansion, so they intercepted them on the road..."

"The target is me?"

"Growing up so big, I don't seem to be sorry to anyone except Brother Qi!"

Hongzhuang noticed that when she mentioned Qiao Shujian, Meng Lianxi's eyes shrank invisibly.

Her voice was a little hesitant, but she still asked, "You don't doubt Brother Qi, do you?"

"It's impossible. He grew up with us. Even if I feel sorry for him, he will definitely not do such a thing..."

"Didn't you promise to listen quietly just now? I haven't said anything yet, why are you so excited?"

Meng Lianxi couldn't help but make a sound to stop her unrestrained imagination.He just said a word, how dare she think so much about him?
"Brother Xi!" The red makeup called out to him, the meaning was obvious, telling him to stop being a fool, and hurry up and be honest, lest she always think wildly!
"This matter has to start with Qiao Shujian!"

He paused, and slowly straightened out his thoughts.

"Ten years ago, Shujian inadvertently saved a woman who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. The woman's name was Zixuan. She was originally from a wealthy family, but she just fell in love with a scumbag, and she eloped with her and was abandoned. All thoughts were lost." At that time, I met Shujian, was rescued by him, and brought back to Guanhualou."

"Remember? We went together last time. The girls there were all rescued by your elder brother Qiao halfway. They all suffered a lot of fate, or were sold, or abandoned, or beaten... In short, they all He met Shujian when he was in despair. As for him, he took pity on them for being homeless, so he built this Guanhualou as their shelter!"

"Girls in Guanhualou, they don't sell their bodies, they don't sign contracts for selling their lives, they just do what they want to do according to their own wishes. You have seen it yourself, how dare they make jokes about Qiao Shujian, don't they?" ?"

"Then?"

Hongzhuang thought, all this should be caused by the girl named Zixuan, right?

"Later, Shujian was hurt by love and went away. Since then, she has sneaked into the palace and waited for an opportunity to sow discord. Remember, all the grievances you suffered before were all thanks to her!"

She frowned, not understanding, "Why did she do that?"

"Whether Brother Qiao likes me or not, it seems that her doing so has no effect!"

Meng Lianxi pouted, "Who said no?"

"Didn't it make you successfully propose to leave me?"

"You know? When you first proposed to leave, I wished I could cut those behind the scenes. But when I thought that she was the one saved by Shujian, I endured it again and again. Big disaster today!"

"Now that I think about it, your Gu poison should have been poisoned by her too!"

Hong Zhuang nodded knowingly, the person who attacked her that day was indeed a woman!
"I still have that question, what good is it for her if she does this?"

"benefit?"

Meng Lianxi sneered, "She just wants to stand up for Shujian. She thinks we are sorry for Shujian, so she wants to destroy us. It's just a fantasy!"

No one dared to hurt her like this under his nose!

As for Hongzhuang, she wasn't so angry, but she was helpless.She has always felt that feelings are always voluntary.She only has brother-sister affection for brother Qiao, and has no intention of a man and a woman, so how can she force it?
This kind of thing has always been difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue.It's just that you meet the right person at the right time, so it's hard to see others in your eyes for ten thousand years.

"But, just now I heard that you asked Brother Qiao to go too?"

Meng Lianxi shrugged lightly, "His people should be taken care of by him. I have kept this from him until now, and I miss this brotherhood very much!"

What he didn't say was that once, the object of his suspicion was Qiao Shujian.

He always felt that Qiao Shujian hadn't really let go, otherwise, where would the poison in Zhuang'er's body come from?

In this whole world, apart from Qiao's mansion, who else's medical skills can rival it?

Until Sun Shadow and the others found out the poison king's master!
When he heard this name for the first time, he did not deny that he was surprised—because he had heard Shujian mentioned that this person had disappeared 50 years ago, how could he reappear now?
Moreover, no matter in terms of stature or age, he couldn't compare with the Master of Poison King back then.But his poison is indeed as powerful as the rumors say!
So Meng Lianxi speculated that maybe the former master of the poison king didn't have no heirs, but was just unknown to the world.

Now, he somewhat admires that woman named Zixuan, who can get help from such a person. I don't know what she used as an exchange to invite him out of the mountain?
Hehe, in fact, he doesn't need to guess, he can guess it - a woman, besides her body, what else is worth thinking about?
"What are you thinking? Laughing so badly?"

Hong Zhuang has always been quite soft on his smile.

His smile sometimes looks kind, but in fact it hides a knife; sometimes, he looks like a naive big boy, bright and sunny, and seems to be able to infect people; sometimes, he is smiling, but his eyes are full of calculations ...
