"You were the one who was assassinated today. How can I blame you?" Jiang Yu said, glancing at Ye Mu. "Get up. Fortunately, what happened today did not lead to a big mistake. Don't do it again."

"Yes." Ye Mu nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Lin Shuning stopped her, took out the hemostatic ointment and anti-inflammatory medicine from the space and stuffed them into her hands, "Take one pill of this anti-inflammatory medicine a day, and just apply the hemostatic ointment on the wound."

Ye Mu looked panicked and somewhat flattered. He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yu, and only after seeing him nod did he feel relieved to accept it: "Thank you, Third Miss."

Lin Shuning was a little embarrassed: "You were injured because you tried to save me."

Ye Mu lowered his head: "That's what I should do."

Lin Shuning didn't say anything else and watched her walk behind the other secret guards to apply medicine.

After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, turned around and looked at Jiang Yu, and said: "Although these killers are dead, their masterminds will definitely not give up and will still come to trouble you and me.

If I return to the Shangshu Mansion alive, they will definitely send people to monitor me. At that time, don't attack them first. I will pretend that you asked me to treat you, but I am helpless against your poison. I will simply push the person who saved you onto the hunchbacked old man I pretended to be, and let them go to trouble the non-existent person. "

When Jiang Yu heard the words "hunchbacked old man", he couldn't help but think of Lin Shuning wearing the old man's shirt. He raised a faint smile and responded in a gentle voice: "This is indeed a good idea. I will send a few more people to protect you secretly."

Lin Shuning nodded: "Then let's do this. It's getting late, I have to go back first. I will give you acupuncture in a few days. Also, don't forget to ask Master to teach me martial arts when he is free. I don't want to be so passive next time I encounter an assassination."

Jiang Yu looked at her frustrated expression and nodded with a smile: "Chen Zhao, you take the third young lady back."

"Yes."

Jiang Yu had already ordered people to prepare the carriage, and Chen Zhao drove the vehicle slowly forward as usual.

The sound of horse hooves echoed for a moment in the dark night, and then gradually faded away with the wind.

Jiang Yu stood there, watching the carriage slowly drive away, his face gradually becoming gloomy.

Yue Zhao, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and said, "My Lord, we have searched the killers and found no useful clues. Moreover, they all seemed to have taken poison before coming here. Even if they were not killed, they would have died from the poison. They should be Deadpool. Their bodies have been dealt with now."

The light in Jiang Yu's eyes changed, like the rolling clouds in the sky.

Very few people in the capital knew that he was poisoned. The person behind the Deadpool sent this time was most likely the one who poisoned and framed him.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

Military pay case...

Jiang Yu's eyes darkened. Although his father had put an end to the case on the surface, he and his father both understood that the border military pay case must be closely related to the factionalism in the court. From the clues he currently had, he was afraid that the incident back then was also related to this person.

A figure gradually emerged in his mind, with a cold and deep look in his eyes. He had a vague premonition that something big might be about to happen in the court.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance at the end of the darkness. The inky sky was covered with dark clouds. The cold wind of early autumn brushed across his cheeks, bringing a slight chill, dampness and depression, which was a sign of the impending storm.

"Let's go back." Jiang Yu spoke in a low voice, his clothes fluttering, and a team of people quietly disappeared into the dark night.

After a while, there was a flash of lightning like a snake in the sky, followed by a loud bang. A thunderclap came down with terrifying momentum, bringing with it large and cold raindrops, which formed a banner and crackled down. In an instant, it turned into a downpour, washing away the filth and blood on the ground, and extinguishing the biting conspiracy and murderous intent. Everything that had just happened was like a bubble, without leaving a trace.

……

The rain continued to fall with thunder rumbling.

Lin Shuning lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of the assassination and Jiang Yu's figure.

Thinking of the assassination scene, Lin Shuning could still explain himself that it was due to fright.

But when I think of Jiang Yu, what’s going on?

Lin Shuning was filled with helplessness. He could only blame the assassination on Jiang Yu, and on the other hand, he was saved from danger by Jiang Yu.

But if you think about it carefully, Xiaobai also saved himself?

Finally, Lin Shuning decided not to think about it anymore and just stayed up all night. The next day, he had big dark circles under his eyes. Even Guobao would exclaim “Oh my God” when he saw him.

Lian Er, who was washing her, was startled: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah, but it's okay, I'll just get some sleep, don't worry." Lin Shuning waved his hand, "By the way, please deliver the medicine I prepared to the clinic later."

Lin Shuning pointed to a box of medicine placed on the bedside. Those were the magical medicines such as pregnancy-protecting medicine and heart-clearing pills that she had made in the space last night. After calculating the time, it was time to restock.

Lian'er agreed, and after helping Lin Shuning to wash up simply, she brought a table of breakfast and then went to deliver the medicine.

Normally, Lin Shuning always had a big appetite for these breakfasts, but today he just had a quick bite.

She glanced out the window. If she guessed correctly, the mastermind behind her assassination last night should have sent spies by now.

Lin Shuning asked Xiaobai to transform into a kingfisher to guard the wind for him. Sure enough, not long after Xiaobai went out, a few rhythmic bird calls were heard from the branches with rustling leaves, and a gleam of light flashed in Lin Shuning's eyes.

coming.

She cleared her throat, picked up the plate, and smashed it hard, cursing fiercely and harshly: "That bastard Prince Rui insisted on asking me to see a doctor. I have already told you that he is poisoned to death, and even a great immortal can't save him!

He refused to believe it and even scolded me for my poor medical skills!

God has spread wisdom all over the world, but has given him an umbrella. He looks extraordinary, but he is actually hypocritical!

I didn't receive a penny, got scolded, and was inexplicably assassinated on my way back. Fortunately, he had a conscience and sent someone to save me. Otherwise, I would not let him go even if I became a ghost!"

Lin Shuning kept chattering in an arrogant voice and a contemptuous attitude. The voice sounded frivolous and vain, noble and cold.

Lin Shuning cursed louder and louder, throwing all the dishes, chopsticks and teacups on the table away with a bang: "I didn't make a penny, and I was injured because of him. I am so unlucky! If it weren't for my father and the Shangshu Mansion's face, I would definitely go to the palace to meet the emperor and severely report him!"

"I'm so mad! I'm so mad! I'm going to make him pay the price!"

Lin Shuning cursed and overturned the table.

On the eaves, a dark shadow was hidden among the dense branches and leaves. The eyes that were staring at Lin Shuning changed, and then she took a step back and her figure disappeared.

Ye Mu, who was not far from the black shadow, crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows slightly, and took everything in.

Her eyes fell on the scattered things in the yard. The Third Young Lady's acting skills were really good. If she didn't know the truth, she would probably have believed it.

The kingfisher outside the window called a few more times. Lin Shuning stopped cursing, picked up the teapot that she had placed on the dressing table away from the "disaster area", and gulped down a few gulps.

It was so tiring to curse people. She had only been cursing for a short while, but she felt her throat was about to catch fire.

Sure enough, a gentleman takes action rather than talks, and those who can take action will never talk nonsense.

Xiaobai faded away and floated in front of Lin Shuning: "Host, your acting skills are not bad. In my opinion, we should just join forces, you play the funny role and I play the supporting role, and create your own acting career in Dayan and become a hot star. What do you think!"

Lin Shuning snorted, "Your acting is so awkward that it makes you want to pick your toes? Stop daydreaming. Besides, the actors in ancient times were not like those in modern times. They were of low status. It was not an easy job. Did you see the spy just now? What was his expression?"

Xiao Bai said seriously: "I believed it, and I looked shocked by your fighting power."

Lin Shuning breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was afraid they wouldn't believe it."

As long as this matter is accomplished, a lot of trouble can be saved temporarily. It will be a good thing for both her and Jiang Yu.

"Host, even if they believe it temporarily now, how can you push this matter onto the old man you pretended to be? If there is no scapegoat, they will eventually suspect you." Xiaobai sat on the table, holding his chin and looking at Lin Shuning.

Lin Shuning curled his lips and smiled: "I don't need to worry about this. As long as they believe it, they will start to investigate. Then they will find that the old coroner I pretended to be that day had been in and out of the Dali Temple and the county magistrate's mansion with Jiang Yu.

And then, just that little push, once the seed of doubt is planted, is enough.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of surprise was heard outside the door.
