Hui Ling looked at Meng Yuxuan worriedly, and said, "I don't know what the lord is up to. One day the lord came back drunk, and the servant helped me, as if I smelled... I smelled... the smell of rouge. The servant thought about it for a long time. , I don’t know if I should tell the princess. After all, it’s not uncommon for men to drink flower wine, and many cooperations are negotiated in the land of fireworks.”

Wheeling's voice is very pleasant.She spoke carefully, watching Meng Yuxuan's expression from time to time, a guilty and sad expression.

Meng Yuxuan's mind was empty.Recently, she only had Lin'er in her heart and eyes, and ignored Shangguan Huan. She didn't know that there was such a thing.At that moment, like a bolt from the blue, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

As cold as the wind is, Meng Yuxuan's heart is as cold as it is.Hearing this news, she felt sad for herself and also for Lin'er.His life and death were unknown there, and he didn't know if he could get through this difficult time, but his father was having a good time outside... Is this really the Shangguan Huan she knew?No!Without seeing it with her own eyes, she didn't want to believe it.

Although Huiling is her confidant, he has followed her since the village and has always been loyal.However, she should trust Shangguan Huan.That is her husband, her reliance, and the man she will spend the rest of her life with.How could she sentence him because of a word from the servant girl?Even if a sentence is to be sentenced, she must personally execute it.

In a short period of time, Meng Yuxuan thought a lot.She said gently to Wheeling: "Thank you for telling me this, Wheeling. You are right. Men will inevitably go to that kind of place when they talk outside. I believe in my husband. You can also see how he treats me. So I will trust him. Since he is not here, you can call Ye Qi Ye Jiu!"

"Yeqi and Yejiu are away. I don't know if they have new missions." Hui Ling patted his chest, obviously happy that he didn't trouble Meng Yuxuan. "The servant girl saw Ye Qi and Ye Jiu go out on horseback the day before yesterday, and heard them mention Sister Furong to Sister Jasmine."

"Where's Furong? Find Furong." Meng Yuxuan frowned.Why are they all absent?She is in a hurry to employ people here, but at a critical moment, she loses the chain.

"Yes. The concubine went back to the room and waited for the servant, and the servant immediately brought Sister Jasmine." Hui Ling quickly blessed her body and walked towards the backyard of the servant.

Meng Yuxuan looked at Hui Ling's figure and said softly, "Is it my illusion? Why does it feel that Hui Ling... has changed? Her eyes seem to be covering something."

She shook her head, teasing herself that she really likes to think wildly more and more.Huiling is still the same Huiling, but her mood has changed, so she feels different when seeing others.

"Ugh..."

Lin'er in her arms snorted, and Meng Yuxuan was overjoyed when she heard the sound.

She touched Lin'er's pimple-covered face, and said distressedly: "Lin'er don't cry, the villain has already been caught by mother, no one will plot against you again, you will recover soon."

Meng Yuxuan felt very uncomfortable.Originally thought that seeing Shangguan Huan, someone would confide in the grievance and guilt in his heart.Because of her negligence, Lin'er escaped death and was almost killed by her.As long as she thinks that Lin'er has suffered so much because of her lack of care, she can't wait to give herself two slaps.With Shangguan Huan not around, she could only feel the grievance in her heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was at this moment.

In the bamboo forest opposite, a young figure stood there.He was wearing gorgeous clothes, his cheeks were thinner and taller than before, and he lost some of his childishness, like a little grown-up.

Although he is still young, he can already see his adult appearance now.Compared with Li Ye, who is known as the most beautiful man, his appearance is more delicate.

"Mother." Shangguanxi stood opposite, looking at her sadly. "Brother... Is my brother still alright?"

Meng Yuxuan looked at the wronged child opposite, and wanted to reach out to hug him, but she didn't dare to take a step.This incident made her understand that space water is not a panacea. If Shangguanxi accidentally contracted smallpox, she might not be able to help him.Therefore, she can no longer harm Shangguanxi.Even if he is lonely and needs her embrace, he has to reject him cruelly at this time.

"Xi'er is good. My brother is sick and feels very uncomfortable. Mother must take care of him. Although mother is not by Xi'er's side, I hear the tune you play to me every night. It's very nice. I also heard that you learned it well in school. Very good, the new master has praised you very much. Your studies have always been the best among all the students." Meng Yuxuan comforted Shangguanxi gently.

After hearing Meng Yuxuan's praise, Shangguanxi had a bright smile on his face.He looked at the child in Meng Yuxuan's arms worriedly, and said, "Mother, my brother will be fine. When my brother is well, Xi'er will treat him very well, and leave him all the delicious and fun things. He robs. I will take care of him and protect him. Xi'er doesn't want father and mother to be as sad as they are now."

"Good boy. It's late at night, why are you still outside?" Meng Yuxuan frowned and said, "Why don't you even have a servant? How do they serve you?"

"Actually, I got up at night... to go to the latrine." Shangguanxi said shyly, "Then I heard Mother's voice, so I followed to have a look. I won't let them follow."

At this time, Qi Bao's call came from a distance.Qi Bao is not only Xi'er's book boy, but also his most trusted follower.Usually the two are inseparable.

"Qibao is looking for you. Go back to your room and have a good rest." Meng Yuxuan smiled.

Shangguanxi walked away from the bamboo forest step by step.The wind was very strong, and Shangguanxi was shivering in thin clothes.But in order to stay with her for a while, he has been holding back.

Meng Yuxuan was moved.She has always regarded such a lovely child as her own, but recently she has neglected him too much.After Lin'er's matter is over, she must make it up to him.

When she returned to the room, she saw... the man lying in a pool of blood.There was a dagger stuck in his chest, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was dying.

"Damn it." Meng Yuxuan was furious. "My every move is under the surveillance of others. After leaving for a while, the only clue was broken."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, something has been wrong since just now.Usually there is a nursing home guarding here, but just now when she went out to find someone with Lin'er in her arms, there was no nursing home.Who on earth has such a great ability to take away all the nursing homes just to sneak in and assassinate this poisoner?A person with such great power must have a high status in the palace.

Jasmine knocked on the door outside: "Princess, may I come in?"

Meng Yuxuan put Lin'er on the bed.She said, "Come in!"

Jasmine pushed the door open and entered.When she saw the dead man lying there, a moment of surprise appeared on her face.

"Princess, is this... an assassin?" Jasmine asked in surprise, "Why didn't you hear anything? What are the guards doing?"

Meng Yuxuan sat by the bed and said lightly, "I came here for this. This man poisoned our water, and also put medicine on the ground to make his condition worse. I caught him in the middle of the night, and I had already let him loose. I just waited for him to name the person who instigated him. But I just went out to find someone, and when I came back, I saw him dead. The most important point is that there is no one on duty tonight."

"How strict it is usually, how strange it is today. Aren't there people patrolling outside the mansion all the time? They all disappeared today?"

Jasmine narrowed her eyes slightly, and said angrily: "It's no wonder that the little master has not been well. It turns out that someone is obstructing it. What orders does the princess have?"

"I have an address here, which was left to me by this person before his death, saying that his family is there. I wonder if his family would know anything?" Meng Yuxuan said.

"My servant will immediately find his family according to the address, and find out who is behind the scenes. If I can't find out, this servant will search his home to see if there are any clues." Jasmine thought for a while and said. "Now the servant is going to ask someone to move this disgusting thing out. Do you want to change the room? Someone died here, and the servant is worried that it will be unsafe."

"No need. It's not like I haven't seen dead people before. What's the big deal about dying alone?" Meng Yuxuan said nonchalantly, "By the way, did Ye Qi and Ye Jiu go out?"

Jasmine sighed, picked up the cup next to her and poured a glass of water, and said pitifully to Meng Yuxuan, "Let me take a sip of water. I ran outside all day today, and I didn't even drink a piece of rice. Come in. Now the slave girl's stomach is rebelling, it's really too uncomfortable."

"What did you do when you went out today?" Meng Yuxuan found it inconvenient to close the courtyard, the news from the outside couldn't get in, and the news from inside couldn't get out.After a few days, Lin'er's condition improved, and the yard had to be reopened, and Shangguan Huan had to be seen frequently.After a long time, he won't forget the existence of their mother and child, right?
Meng Yuxuan admitted that she was overthinking.But what Wheeling said always echoed in her mind.Although she told herself to trust, there was still a voice in her heart that would doubt it.

"This is another troublesome matter." Jasmine didn't say much, and returned to the topic just now. "Yeqi and Yejiu did go out. They sent Furong and Yeyiyeer back to their hometown. The princess also knows about their situation. Although the prince is willing to leave them to do some other work, they lost their martial arts and their bodies became like this again. Poor, they said they didn’t want to stay and drag the prince down. With the prince’s approval, they decided to go back to their hometown to live a few days of cleanliness. Didn’t the princess often scold us before? She said that we don’t know how to enjoy life. Now they are going to enjoy life.”

"It's good to stay away from disputes. The capital is a big dye vat, and there are all kinds of colors here. They have suffered so much here, and now it's time to go back and have a good rest. We left in a hurry that day, and so many things happened later. I don't know what's going on with Young Master Yu and Yusu." Meng Yuxuan asked casually.

"Their situation is similar to that of Ye Yi Ye Ye Er. There are many toxins in their bodies, and their martial arts are all lost. This is also a big blow to them. They woke up and asked about their own conditions, and then left without saying a word. We haven't seen them either. But today it is said that Young Master Yu invited our lord to a certain banquet. The lord should know about their recent situation." Jasmine said.

"I see. Go help me investigate this matter first, and talk about other things later." Meng Yuxuan said lightly.

"Yes. I will take my leave first." Jasmine saluted, and said suddenly before leaving: "Princess, I remembered something. I saw Lingying outside the mansion today. She was whispering something to someone , I was very flustered when I saw the servant. The servant did not know what she was doing. Although she is a good sister of the servant, the servant still has to tell this matter."

"Lingying... Huiling..." Meng Yuxuan thought in her heart. "Shangguan Huan..."

These people are all people she trusts, but now they are acting strangely.First, Huiling told her that Shangguan Huan had been in and out of the place of fireworks recently, and then Jasmine told her that Lingying was moving strangely. What else is waiting for her?Isn't there a completely trustworthy person around her?Who really has the problem, and who is sowing discord?

Or everyone is fine, but someone is misleading them in the dark?right!This last guess is very likely.

Sometimes what the eyes see may not be true.But people are always easy to believe that 'seeing is believing'.Whether what Hui Ling and Jasmine saw was real, even they themselves didn't know.It is very easy to mislead a person.As long as she is given a little time, she can turn a loving couple into enemies.

Therefore, she decided to remain skeptical of what Hui Ling said, and when Shangguan Huan came back, she would ask him about it in person.As long as he gives a reasonable explanation, she will trust him completely.

After Jasmine left, Meng Yuxuan bathed Lin'er again, and then fed the medicine boiled in the space water and the fruit in the space.She flipped through the books in the study again, which explained the steps of the treatment in detail.She executed it according to the description in the book, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.Now as long as she guards her things well and prevents the enemy from taking advantage of her, Lin'er will have no major problems.

The opponent has already startled the snake.She knew that there were enemy insiders in the mansion.If that person is smart, don't act recently, or the target will be exposed.Therefore, Lin'er should be safe during this period of time.In other words, she was the one the other party wanted to kill, and Lin'er was a baby, so it was impossible for her to have an enemy.The other party just wanted to kill Lin'er and make her and Shangguan Huan suffer.

A figure appeared in front of Meng Yuxuan.Meng Yuxuan instinctively stretched out her palm to attack the person in front of her, but the person opposite did not fight back and stood there allowing her to attack.When her palm rested on the man's forehead, she had to stop from time to time.She looked at him in surprise, and it took her a while to find her own voice: "What are you doing here? There is smallpox in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, don't you know?"

The man, that is, Li Ye, said: "Actually, I come here to see you every day, but I stand on the wall and watch you from a distance, you don't know. I went to the neighboring city yesterday, and I just came back now." .I wanted to visit you as soon as I came back. But something seemed to happen today. As soon as I came, I found that the atmosphere was not right, so I couldn't help but take a look. Are you... all right?"
