Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 241 Escape
Xiao Wang seemed unaware of the other party's resistance. He always had a smile on his face and spoke in a gentle and polite tone.

"I have a friend who is very good at treating women. Tell me the details of your condition. If I can't solve it, I can ask her to come and treat you."

Ah Qin shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary: "It's not a serious illness, I will be fine after a few days of rest."

Ah Feng advised: "Since Xiao Liulang is here, you should tell us about your condition. Don't let Xiao Liulang down."

Ah Qin was in a dilemma: "I know you have good intentions, but you are all men. I really can't bring myself to talk about women's illnesses. Let's just forget about it, okay?"

At the end of her words, her face showed sorrow and her eyes were full of pleading.

Xiao Wang advised gently, "Although I am not a girl, I also know that women's illnesses are not trivial matters. If you feel unwell, you must see a doctor as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the greater the damage to your body. Don't delay the best time to seek medical treatment because of shyness. Don't worry, Afeng and I will keep our mouths shut and will never disclose your condition to outsiders."

Ah Feng agreed, "Yes, I will definitely keep it a secret for you. No one else will know about what happened today except the three of us. Just go ahead and tell me without worry!"

Aqin still looked embarrassed: "But..."

Xiao Wang said considerately: "If you really can't say it, I can ask someone to invite a female doctor over, how about that?"

Aqin couldn't help but shrank back again.

She avoided Xiao Wang's gaze, lowered her head, and spoke timidly.

"This is too much trouble for you."

"It's a small matter. I'll ask someone to get a female doctor over right away. Please just wait patiently."

After Xiao Wang said this, he left with A Feng.

After walking for a while, Xiao Wang stopped, looked back in the direction of the servants' room, and saw that Aqin had already returned to the house.

He said to A Feng, "Go find Uncle Jiu outside the governor's mansion and tell him that I have something I want to ask Chao Er Niang to come over."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Ah Feng turned and left, leaving Xiao Wang alone standing there. He looked at the locust tree not far away and suddenly said, "Come out, don't hide, I know there is someone behind the tree."

After a moment, a familiar figure walked out from behind the locust tree.

This person is Yuejin.

He called out slowly, "Xiao Liulang."

Xiao Wang knew that the Governor's Mansion was full of spies from the Inner Guards. From the moment he entered the Governor's Mansion, he was under the surveillance of the Inner Guards. Yue Jin must have seen what he had just done when he asked A Feng to take him to find A Qin. At this moment, he looked at Yue Jin and said directly.

"I need your help with something."

Yue Jin said: "I only follow the orders of the Grand Chamberlain."

"Listen to my request first, and then report to the Grand Lord. He will agree."

"what do you want to do?"

"It's simple. Just keep an eye on Aqin."

Yuejin took a look at the house where Aqin lived, and without asking any questions, he used his lightness skills to jump up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Wang stood there waiting, and after just a moment, Yuejin came back, and he said.

"The Grand Lord has agreed."

Xiao Wang nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yue Jin.

"The Grand Lord wants to see you."

"Where are the others?"

"study."

Xiao Wang came to the study again. The door of the study, which was locked, was now open. Two guards were standing outside the door. They should have been greeted in advance. When they saw Xiao Wang coming, they did not make any move to stop him. They just watched Xiao Wang walk into the study quietly.

The study still maintained the scene when Xie Tanyu was murdered. The bloodstains on the ground had dried up and turned a dark brown color.

Si Buping sat in a chair behind the desk. The sunlight shone through the window beside him and fell on him, making his face half bright and half dark.

Xiao Wang crossed his hands and saluted: "Grand Master."

Si Buping asked straight to the point: "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Ah Qin?"

Xiao Wang repeated what A Feng had just said, and finally said: "When Chao Er Niang performed the autopsy, she found that Envoy Xie had eaten Datura stramonium. Datura stramonium is poisonous, and a small amount can cause a person to fall asleep. When the murderer sneaked into the study, Envoy Xie must have been in a coma, so he did not show any signs of resistance. As long as we find out who poisoned him, we can follow the clues to find the real culprit. At the moment, A Qin and A Feng are the most likely people to have poisoned him."

Si Buping looked at him steadily and asked in a deep voice, "Who allowed you to perform an autopsy?"

Xiao Wang choked.

It was indeed against the rules for them to perform the autopsy secretly, but since they had already done it, he could only try to explain it.

"We were so eager to find the real culprit that we acted rashly. I came up with the idea. If the Grand Lord wants to punish me, I will bear the responsibility alone."

"You are so reckless! You haven't even cleared yourselves of suspicion yet, yet you dare to secretly examine the bodies of the victims. Who gave you the courage to do so?!"

Xiao Wang lowered his head: "It's all my fault. I am willing to be punished."

Si Buping asked in a deep voice: "If I punish you by not allowing you to get close to Ning Ci again, are you willing to accept it?"

Xiao Wang immediately raised his head and looked at his boss with deep eyes. The other party was staring at him with a cold expression.

There was no warmth in that look, and it made people feel very uncomfortable.

Xiao Wang said without hesitation: "Unless Ah Ci says in person that he doesn't want to see me again, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."

Si Buping asked coldly: "You should have known Ning Ci's true identity, right?"

Xiao Wang nodded.

"Now that you know everything, you should know that there is no possibility between you and her. In the future, she will marry the prince and become the most noble woman in the world. If you continue to cling to her, you will only cause her a lot of unnecessary trouble."

These words were spoken too bluntly, leaving no room for Xiao Wang at all.

However, Xiao Wang did not show any shame or embarrassment, he remained calm and peaceful.

"But I heard that the team escorting Princess Leyou has arrived in Chang'an, and Princess Leyou will marry the Crown Prince soon. There is already someone else in the position of Crown Princess."

Si Buping emphasized, "You know very well that someone has replaced her identity. She went to Chang'an to regain her identity. When she regains her status as a princess, she will still be the future crown princess."

Xiao Wang did not explain the grudge between Yan Ciwan and the King of Xizhou, because that was Yan Ciwan's private matter and he would not tell it to outsiders without her consent.

He just replied calmly: "It seems you know nothing."

Si Buping was stunned.

He said the same thing yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang would return these words to him exactly as they were.

He frowned slowly. What was there about Yan Ciwan that Xiao Wang knew but he didn't?

He couldn't open his mouth to ask, because it would seem that he didn't know Yan Ci Wan as well as Xiao Wang, and he couldn't let himself be outdone by this kid.

In the silent atmosphere, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by Yuejin's voice.

"Reporting to the Grand Master, Aqin wants to escape."
