Xue Mingyue opened her eyes slightly in shock.

No wonder she felt that there were so many assassins that day, and all the guards present were restrained, almost one against two or three, but she never expected that three groups of people would get together.

She collected her thoughts and asked again: "Did anyone else come up with anything else?"

Liu Yun nodded: "Among these people, the one who got the death order to kill you was the one sent by Bai Zhenzhen. The assassin who jumped out of the stable was one of her people, but he was later restrained by Lidong and failed."

Xue Mingyue frowned and pursed her white lips slightly.

Bai Zhenzhen has been targeting her from the beginning to the end. She knows this, but it is the first time in her life that she suddenly sent someone to kill her. The most recent dispute between her and Bai Zhenzhen still gave her poisonous mushrooms. .

Unless Bai Zhenzhen knows about this...

"Wuye and the others interrogated him all night long and found out that the man was a guard of the Bai family, but he turned out to be a soldier under Deputy General Bai in the Dingyuan Army and one of the soldiers who survived the previous battle."

"Other than that, they don't know much." Liu Yun shook his head.

Xue Mingyue was a little surprised, but thinking that Bai Zhenzhen's father was the deputy general beside General Xie, it was not surprising that there were soldiers in the Bai Mansion who had retired from the Dingyuan Army.

It's just that they were sent to kill her. Bai Zhenzhen's move has the meaning of sinking the boat.

The fact that she ate poisonous mushrooms and was embarrassed in front of everyone made her angry at most, and she would not use the guards of the White House to kill her. It would be too easy for people to find out, and it would definitely lead to anger.

Xue Mingyue pondered for a moment, could something happen in the capital?

Soon she shook her head invisibly. There was no point in guessing here. It was impossible for her to develop clairvoyance out of thin air to see what was happening in the capital these days.

"What was the result of the interrogation between the Second Prince and the Ninth Princess?"

"All the assassins sent by the second prince took poison and committed suicide. Wu Ye said that these people were specially raised to die, and the people from the Ninth Princess said that... the Ninth Princess was in a bad mood, so she deliberately sent assassins to scare you. , it would be best if it can be hurt."

Xue Mingyue suddenly fell silent: "..."

Her whole little face was wrinkled, and her brows were even more wrinkled than when she drank the bitter medicine just now.

She didn't know what to say about Xiao Qing'er. Xue Mingyue chuckled. There was probably no one more arrogant and domineering than her in the world. The last one to be so high-profile was the Tang family.

Now even people and their families are in prison.

I don’t know if Xiao Qing’er can survive until the grassland tribe comes to marry.

Xue Mingyue's head hurt when she thought of her, and in the end she had to focus on the second prince sending dead soldiers to assassinate her. What could she have that was worthy of the second prince using dead soldiers?

The only thing she could contact with the second prince was Tang Kun.

Xue Mingyue thought for a while and understood that he was probably doing this because of the Tang family's affairs, so he came for Xie Lang. They still did not forget to use Xie Lang's side to influence Emperor Jingping's decision.

So on the contrary, since the second prince has used dead soldiers, it can be seen that the situation in the capital may not be good.

Alarm bells rang in her heart!

She couldn't stay here for long, and she couldn't go back to the capital. She had to rush to Chunxia Town immediately!

Xue Mingyue was just thinking about giving instructions to leave as soon as possible, when out of the corner of her eye she saw the curtain being opened again, Liu Xing walked in with a tray, and Ling Su with a stern face followed behind her.

When Ling Su saw her, his first words were: "We must leave here right away."

Xue Mingyue: "!"

We just have such a tacit understanding.

She nodded heavily: "I think so too. If the assassin can come once, he can come a second time. If we stay here and don't leave, then we will really become a living target for others."

Xue Mingyue's voice seemed hoarse due to high fever.

He doesn't speak very fast, instead he has a protracted voice, and the last sound is like a small hook, which makes people's ears feel slightly numb.

Ling Su's fingers hanging by his side curled up uncomfortably.

He pursed his lower lip: "I have watched them pack up the carriage. When you feel better, we can hit the road."

After all, she had just woken up from a high fever and her body was weak. It was hard to say whether riding in a carriage would aggravate her condition.

Xue Mingyue shook her head and insisted: "I know your good intentions, but now is the best time to leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave when they send a second group of people."

She said directly: "Leave now!"

Later facts proved that this decision was right.

As soon as they left the camp, several groups of men in black broke into the remaining tents that night. They were then caught on the spot by Xie Lang's pre-arranged personnel and returned home with a full load.

……

At dusk, the carriage that had come from the autumn hunting paddock finally drove into Chunxia Town.

The sunset glows in the sky with beautiful ripples, and tired birds return to their nests. Orange-red and purple are like spilled ink, weaving this gentle twilight.

As soon as the carriage entered the town, Liu Xing hurriedly opened the curtain and shouted: "Medical Center! Go to the medical center first. Miss, she is feverish all over, and now she has passed out from the fever and is unconscious!"

Wu Ye was immediately startled and quickly drove to the nearest hospital.

But he was stopped by Ling Su: "Go directly to Lou Mansion, sir, there is a doctor you know well."

Xue Mingyue only felt that her whole body was as hot as a stove, and her whole body was dizzy from the heat. She only vaguely felt that she was bumping back and forth several times, and finally she seemed to be lying on a soft bed, smelling the familiar fragrance of ink.

There is only one thought left in the blur of consciousness:

The way home is really long.

...

The moon is like frost, shining everywhere.

Xue Mingyue opened her heavy eyelids and woke up, muttering softly. She only felt sore and weak all over. Looking at the strange and familiar bed curtains, she slowly remembered that this was the house where her grandfather lived.

In her previous life, since she married into Dingyuan Houfu, she could not come back for several years.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and the dim yellow light flowed with warmth.

Liu Yun, who was waiting by the bed, quickly got up and said in surprise: "Miss, you are finally awake. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Xue Mingyue felt her dry throat and nodded. She stood up on her elbows and leaned on the head of the bed. She lowered her head and took a sip of water. However, out of the corner of her eye, she unconsciously spotted the man sitting under the dim candlestick, holding up one hand. Head, a drowsy old man holding a book in one hand.

The gray hair on the temples is extremely conspicuous under the light.

After hearing the movement here, he immediately woke up.

He stood up in a hurry, but accidentally tripped over the corner of the table and made a banging sound. Lou Zhizhang didn't pay much attention, walked quickly to the bed, and asked nervously: "Mingyue, do you feel better?"

Xue Mingyue's eyes heated up.

Her nose suddenly felt a little sore, and moisture filled her eyes unconsciously, and she shouted in a muffled voice: "Grandpa."

Whether it was the years she spent in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion or the decades she spent wandering around the world as a lonely ghost, she had relied on reliving these warm memories countless times to support her through countless harsh winters.

And these memories are all related to my grandfather without exception.

This is the best family in the world for her.
