Chu Qiao's life and death promise

It was night, in a certain mansion in Jiankang City, the delicate and elegant carved door was gently knocked open, and Qingwei walked in with a bow.

"My lord, the secret guard came to report, but the man... ran away."

Xiao Yu was cutting the candle wick, the dancing candle made the shadow of the person on the paper window crooked, and then returned to normal.

There was no surprise on Xiao Yu's face, and he asked, "Do you know your identity?"

"According to the footprints, she is petite and light. She should be a woman. My subordinates guess, could it be Chu Qiao?"

"That's it." Xiao Yu put down the small scissors and said calmly, "Let them receive the punishment themselves."

"Here." Qingwei lowered his eyes and retreated.

Xiao Yu pondered for a while, put on a cloak, pushed the door and went out.Passing through the courtyard, he came to a quiet residence in the mansion. The guard at the door saluted and stood back to his original place silently.

Xiao Yu walked to a room, looked at the window without light, raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Brother Yue, don't take the liberty of interrupting me."

Soon, Yu Wenyue's voice came from the room: "Yu'er wait a moment."

The servant in the cubicle heard the noise, and immediately got up and came to Xiao Yu's side to salute, Xiao Yu nodded, the servant opened the door and went in to hold the lamp, and waited for Yu Wenyue to change clothes and get out of bed.

A moment later, the servant opened the door and welcomed Xiao Yu in.

Yu Wenyue wore a robe and sat on a chair with her long hair tied up casually.

"Brother Yue, please don't take offense if it's urgent and disturb you late at night." Xiao Yu walked to sit down opposite Yu Wenyue while talking.

"Yu'er doesn't have to be so polite," Yu Wenyue smiled, "I don't know what's urgent?"

"That's right," Xiao Yu paused, with a heavy tone, "I sent people to search for the whereabouts of Brother Yue after I took Brother Yue back to the mansion, and later... I found him in a mountain stream. , but found out too late..."

Yu Wenyue's brows were slightly frowned, her breathing was a little rapid, and she "looked" towards Xiao Yu's direction with concern: "How is it?"

"Brother Yue, although I don't know what kind of relationship this person has with Brother Yue, but don't worry, I will definitely give him a good funeral..." Xiao Yu looked at Yu Wenyue with a very sincere tone.

Yu Wenyue's fingertips turned white as she clasped the armrest.

"That girl looks to be in her twenties. I checked her body. There are many scars on her body, most of which were scratched by wild animals. She probably fell into the water to save Brother Yue and was washed away elsewhere." Xiao Yu glanced at her. Glancing at Yu Wenyue's hand, he continued to look at his expression.

Yu Wenyue sat without moving, and her face seemed to be a little pale.

"Brother Yue, don't be too sad. I will try my best to find someone related to this girl and see if I can get news about Chu Qiao." Xiao Yu continued.

"Thank you Yu'er." Yu Wenyue finally spoke, with difficulty.

"Brother Yue, let's rest earlier." Xiao Yu bid farewell and got up.

"Yu'er," Yu Wenyue called out to her suddenly, "Does that girl have anything to identify her?"

Xiao Yu slowly turned around and looked at him, for a while, "No."

Yu Wenyue nodded silently, her voice was lonely and exhausted: "Yu'er has worked hard, let's rest early."

"You too." Xiao Yu glanced at Yu Wenyue again, turned and left.

Yu Wenyue sat on the chair for a long time, a sigh sounded in the quiet room, and then heard the soft footsteps of the servant girl, who helped Yu Wenyue back to the bed, and then the lights went out.

Xiao Yu, who was standing under the window, looked at the pitch-black courtyard again, pursed his lower lip, and left silently.

In the darkness, Yu Wenyue, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were shining brightly, looking at the bed curtain above her head.

It seemed that the corpse in the pool was not able to fool Xiao Yu, but whether Xing'er escaped the arrest of the hidden guards at this time, he was really not sure.

in case……

Inside the internal organs, there was a sudden sharp pain, Yu Wenyue closed her eyes, and swallowed forcefully the fishy sweetness welling up from her throat.

Xiao Yu's words were watertight, just to give him the news of an unknown death, knowing that it might be a trap, but he had no choice but to step into it.

Because he couldn't take the risk.

Although he showed disappointment just now, in fact, what is more difficult to control than disappointment is the burning of all five internal organs.

The trap must be false, but the news may be true.

"Cough-cough-"

Yu Wenyue coughed twice, the servant in the cubicle got up, and asked through the window:

"Young Master Yue, is there any discomfort?"

"I can't sleep, please light some incense for me." Yu Wenyue's voice came out.

"Here." The servant opened the door to hold the lamp, took out the rattan incense that had been prepared in the room, glanced sideways at Yu Wenyue, lit it, and stepped back.

Smoke billowed from the room.

Yu Wenyue's forehead throbbed violently, and the forehead was gradually covered with fine beads of sweat, and after a while, she fell asleep.

The next day, just as Xiao Yu got up, he heard a rush of footsteps.

"Princess! It's not good, princess! Master Yue has passed out!" The servant girl knelt down at the door of Xiao Yu's room with a plop.

"How?" Xiao Yu stood up suddenly, looked at the trembling servant, "When did you faint?"

"I don't know!" The servant kowtowed and fell on the ground, daring not to get up, "Last night, not long after the princess left, Mr. Yue said he couldn't sleep, so he asked the servant to light incense for him, and the servant lit the rattan incense, and then This morning, I found that the young master was sleepy, and he passed out!"

"Didn't I tell you to light the vine incense only once a day?" Xiao Yu scolded, frowning.

"My servant is on duty today, I don't know that the day has passed! Princess forgive me!" The servant fell on the ground and did not dare to get up, her tone was crying.

Xiao Yu sighed heavily, then ignored the slave and quickly walked towards Yu Wenyue's yard.

"Go ask Doctor Xue!"

"Here!"

After Dr. Xue came, he was not directly invited in, but after a long time, Xiao Yu's voice came from Yu Wenyue's room:

"Doctor Xue please come in."

Doctor Xue tidied up his clothes, lifted his robe and entered, and bowed deeply: "I have seen the princess."

"Thank you, Doctor Xue." Xiao Yu sat up from Yu Wenyue's bed, nodded with a smile.

"Don't dare, dare not." Dr. Xue quickly replied.

Putting her fingers on Yu Wenyue's veins, she thought for a while, then raised her hand and rolled Yu Wenyue's eyelids. After a while, she withdrew her hand, stood up, and bowed to Xiao Yu who was on the chair:

"Reporting to the princess, Mr. Yue is probably poisoned, and the poison has already been deep."
