[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

The morning light suddenly appeared, and the sky gradually brightened.

Xie Qichen stood by the window, looking at the needle in his hand, the needle taken out from Zhiqing's body was exactly the same as the one that killed Si Niang.The two sample needles lost in the blacksmith's shop are all there, and the murderer has not been found. If the murderer's purpose is to make peace with his relatives, then he must have come up with other secret methods to kill.

He sighed heavily. Now it seems that Jia Yun, who is in charge of weaving embroidery, should be in the most dangerous situation. If it wasn't for Zhiqing, she should be the one who died this time.As for Mulan and Zhiqing, who is now unconscious, it's hard to predict whether the murderer will also attack them.What happened in Wufeng Valley has not been explained until now, even Xie Qichen, who has always been calm and composed, feels helpless and self-blaming at this moment.

"Thank you, General." Mulan walked to the window, "Doctor Luo and the third son are going to prepare medicinal materials for the embroidered girls. My mother and I want to send Zhiqing back to Luoshen Manor first, and it is not convenient to recuperate here."

The moment the needle was taken out last night, Zhiqing had already passed out from the pain. After suturing, dressing, and bandaging, Luo Zhao took the pulse again, and everyone was relieved to be sure that everything was fine.All night, Jia Jun and Mulan stayed by Zhiqing's side. They stayed up all night, and now it was dawn, thinking it would be better to send Zhiqing home.

Xie Qichen thought for a while, and said: "Tell Luo Zhao that today's hand soaking will be skipped. Jinxiu Villa is under investigation, and no one is allowed to come in or out. I will send Zhiqing back to Luoshen Manor and meet Mr. Babei Can by the way, you and Your mother is in danger now, I will send someone to escort you to Jinxiu Villa later."

Mulan nodded after hearing the arrangement.Just thinking about last night, she couldn't help asking: "General Xie, must the murderer be someone from Jinxiu Villa?"

"Looking at it now, this is the only possibility." Xie Qichen said thoughtfully, "When you return to Jinxiu Villa, you have to observe carefully to see who is the murderer in the embroidery building."

Mulan looked at Xie Qichen stubbornly, and said: "Maybe there are clues that we haven't found yet. The Xiulou is full of good sisters who grew up with me. I don't believe that any of them is the murderer!"

Xie Qichen didn't speak, turned around and looked out the window, waved to Mulan behind him, and asked her to go about her own business.Now, even if it will affect the progress of He Qintu, the murderer must be caught first, otherwise the hidden danger will not be eliminated for a day, Wufeng Valley will not be peaceful, and He Qintu will not be really safe.

Jia Jun and Mulan went back to Jinxiu Villa, where County Magistrate Chen was still investigating last night's murder, while Xie Qichen found a carriage and took only a few soldiers to send Zhiqing home.Zhiqing was carried all the way into Luoshen Manor, and Babeican suddenly couldn't accept her granddaughter who hadn't seen her for a long time in such a state.

"Qing'er, where is she injured!" Babeican walked out quickly, staggered and almost fell, but fortunately was supported by the attendant.

Xie Qichen gave him a little help, "Old man, be careful! Zhiqing was healed by Luo Zhao, it's a skin trauma, she's fine now."

Babeican looked at his granddaughter distressedly, and asked the family servants to send Zhiqing back to the room, and he took Xie Qichen into the living room.Xie Qichen talked about what happened last night, and also frankly confessed the process of helping Zhiqing to heal his wounds. He was open and aboveboard, and he had no choice but to save people, so he didn't intend to hide this from Babeican.

Eighth Grandfather is not a pedantic person, after hearing the whole story, he looked at him calmly, and said: "General Xie, the old man knows, don't mention this matter again in the future."

Seeing that Babeican understands righteousness so well, Xie Qichen no longer sticks to it. He also firmly believes that those who know last night will definitely not say too much, so it will not have any impact on Zhiqing.He sat down for a while, then got up to say goodbye, and returned to the city.

……

The night when the crime happened was at night, when the embroidered women were sleeping, everyone in Jinxiu Villa had almost the same testimony, and besides, the people here had no grudges against Huaerjin or Jia Jun, and they seemed to have no motive for killing.County magistrate Chen accompanied him for interrogation all night, but there was no result. When Xie Qichen walked in, he was sitting on a chair and dozing off. When he heard Li Jiang yell "General", he was so scared that he almost fell off the chair.

"How did the investigation go?" Xie Qichen asked in a deep voice.

Regardless of Li Jiang, Zeng Huaji or Chen County Magistrate's answer, the investigation failed.Xie Qichen's heart tightened, and his sharp eyes scanned everyone in the embroidery building, hoping to see something, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything unusual.Looking at everyone's exhausted faces, they could only wave their hands, and everyone dispersed.

However, the news of another accident in Jinxiu Villa spread like wildfire. People in Wufeng Valley began to panic and discuss a lot. There were even rumors that the magnolia flower that had been lifted from the ban was unlucky, so accidents happened one after another to people who weaved and loved pictures.Xie Qichen was tracking down the murderer and had no time to refute the rumors, so he only handed over the matter to Chen County Magistrate, asking him to curb the bad rumors in Wufeng Valley as soon as possible.The embroiderers were also affected by the rumors, and they dared not and had no intention of embroidering pictures. Even spring silk, basil, and poria cocos dared not use needles.Both Jia Yun and Mulan were in a hurry, so they could only persuade and continue to embroider.

The case became more and more difficult, Xie Qichen had no choice but to go to Luoshen Manor again.According to Jia Yun, Zhiqing saw a figure that night, maybe she will remember something.

Luoshen Manor, Qianxiu Pavilion.

After two days of rest, Zhiqing was already awake, but her back still hurt a lot. She didn't dare to make big movements, so she could only lie on her side or on her stomach.It was too uncomfortable to lie down like this for two consecutive days. She wanted to get up and move around, but no one agreed after calling Xiuer for a long time, so she could only get up slowly by herself, rubbed against the table little by little, and poured water for herself with her left hand. glass of water.Because of the excessive blood loss from the injury, and her mouth was always dry and tasteless, she always asked people to add some salt to the water she drank these two days.Now that there is no one around, Zhiqing scooped up a spoonful of salt with her left hand tremblingly, intending to sprinkle some into the cup.

"Miss, General Xie has come to see you!" Suddenly, Xiuer shouted, which startled Zhiqing.She was still only wearing her middle coat, so she quickly stood up and wanted to lie back on the bed, but she was hurt and moved very slowly.She heard Xiu'er outside the door say: "Miss is lying in bed, please wait a moment, General, chicken soup is warming on the stove, I will come as soon as I go."

Only then did Zhiqing heave a sigh of relief, and moved towards the bed step by step, but when she saw that she was about to arrive, she unexpectedly lost her footing, tripped over the pedals in front of the bed, and fell to the side of the bed.Fortunately, she had been protecting the wound, and the person fell to the left, even so, it also pulled the body on the right side, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

Xie Qichen was standing at the door, and when he heard the movement inside, he stepped in immediately, and saw Zhiqing fall down beside the bed.He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried over to help her up, and when Zhiqing sat on the bed, raising her head with tears in her eyes, Xie Qichen found that she was only wearing a white coat.Breathing stagnantly, he pulled the quilt beside her to cover her body, stepped back into the hall, and stared at the door without moving.

Zhiqing lay back on the bed and covered herself with the quilt, and said embarrassingly: "General Xie, please use..." Thinking that there was no tea here, she quickly changed her words, "Please drink water."

There was a glass of water on the table, Xie Qichen turned around and brought it to his mouth, he just took a sip and looked at Zhiqing on the bed with a strange expression.Zhiqing felt strange seeing his unnatural expression, she glanced at the salt jar on the table out of the corner of her eye, could it be... She just sprinkled a spoonful of salt into the cup?

Zhiqing opened her mouth and said nothing for a long time, Xie Qichen had already put the cup back on the table with a sullen face.She said agitatedly, "I... I really didn't do it on purpose, it wasn't a big deal just now... If you... There is clear water in the teapot, you can use other cups to drink water."

Xie Qichen really couldn't hold back his face, he wanted to walk away, but thought of the purpose of his trip, he held back.He sat back at the table, didn't even look at Zhiqing, picked up the teapot, and drank several cups of water...
