Chapter 350 Six Hundred and Sixty Six

Lu Jinye leaned against the back door of the Shangshu Mansion. He had been whipped too many times on his back in the past few days. Even after applying medicine, the wounds on his body had not healed yet, so he avoided it by leaning his back against the door frame.

If an ordinary person suffered such a serious injury, he would definitely have to lie in bed for more than half a month without daring to get out.

But Lu Jinye's expression was normal at this moment, the loose hair on his forehead concealed the emotions in his eyes, and the skin on the lower half of his face looked a little sick, like a dark boy with no offensive power.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head to look over.

“So slow.”

Qiao Wanyan didn't stop walking, but when she passed by him, she raised her hand and slapped his cheek, "Don't shout."

Lu Jinye snorted and followed.

In the carriage, Lu Jinye wiped the dagger in his hand.

It was already dark outside. Under the dim light inside the carriage, the dagger in Lu Jinye's hand glowed eerily.

I don’t know how much blood was soaked in that dagger, but just looking at it gave people a chill.

Qiao Wanyan was playing with the Buddhist beads she took off her wrist. These delicate and small beads were given to her by the abbot of the Guo Temple a few years ago.

What did the abbot say at that time?

You have committed a serious sin of killing, so you must accumulate virtue and do good deeds instead of fighting for a short period of time. Only in this way can you survive the disaster.

Qiao Wanyan twisted the Buddhist beads one by one. It was unknown whether she could survive the disaster, but she only knew that she had to be careful in what she said and did in order to live longer if she said something that made people unhappy.

Otherwise, the abbot should have continued to be the abbot of Dayuguo Temple instead of dying young in middle age.

It is sad that he died at the hands of bandits at such a young age.

Look, even if you die at the age of forty, people will still say that you died at a young age.

The carriage slowly stopped. After Lu Jinye got off the carriage, he did not go directly to knock on the door. Instead, he turned around and hugged Qiao Wanyan, who was about to hold Zi Yuan's carriage, down from the waist.

The hem of the skirt drew a graceful arc in the air and then landed steadily on the ground.

Zi Yuan gave him a fierce look and withdrew her hand.

Significant him?

Lu Jinye accidentally noticed that this side door did not look like the side door of Prince Jing's Mansion. Before, when Qiao Wanyan went to Yuxiu Garden, he had secretly run to Prince Jing's Mansion. The guard dogs at the main gate would not let him in, so he worked hard through the side door.

Who would have thought that Prince Jing's mansion was so airtight, not to mention the back door, even if you climbed over the wall to get in, there were countless secret guards.

Thinking of this, Lu Jinye suddenly stopped knocking on the door. Qiao Wanyan frowned, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

Lu Jinye shook his head, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered some nightmares."

After saying that, he continued: Aren’t we going to Prince Jing’s Mansion? This doesn’t seem to be Prince Jing’s Mansion.

Qiao Wanyan: "Who said we went to Prince Jing's Mansion? The person who put the love poison in me was not He Yanli, but Chen Che. It was just that He Yanli intercepted it."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned. Intercepting? He Yanli should have gone to the palace first to report, but he turned around and surrounded the prince's mansion to intercept Chen Che's trick. Did he know that Chen Che was going to put a love poison on him?

Although he knew it, he never revealed a single word!

Qiao Wanyan's thoughts were clear at the moment. This long-lost feeling of intelligence made her want to beat up Shen Che to vent her anger.

There was a knock on the door, and a servant came to open the door, rubbing his eyes, "Who is it? This is the prince's residence, don't knock on the door!"

The boy was kicked to the ground before he could even see the other's face. He covered his stomach in pain and couldn't even cry out.

Zi Yuan closed the door, and Lu Jinye picked up the boy who had fallen to the ground and threatened him in his ear, "Take me to find Chen Che. If you don't take me with you, I will cut your heart out right now."

The servant had never seen such a scene before, so he nodded immediately and led the people towards Chen Che's bedroom.

But when they walked into a yard, a secret guard appeared from somewhere. Lu Jinye did not take out a dagger, but drew out the long sword from his waist.

Qiao Wanyan took a quick glance. Although she didn't know martial arts, she knew from Lu Jinye's expression that there must be more than just the two secret guards in the yard.

Just two people are no match for Lu Jinye.

Su Fei came out of the side room and saw the woman in purple under the moonlight. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully twice before he was sure who that person was.

"Miss Qiao Er?"

Su Fei approached but not too close, "Second Miss, why are you here so late?"

As Su Fei spoke, he glanced at the boy guarding the side door who was holding his stomach and unable to stand steadily.

Qiao Wanyan spoke in a calm tone, and even in the current situation she was not panicked and looked calm and composed.

"I want to see Chen Che, go pass the message."

Su Fei's expression changed slightly. He nodded, turned around and walked quickly into the room. He came out after a while.

"Second Miss, the prince invites you in."

Lu Jinye and Zi Yuan followed one after the other and wanted to go in. Su Fei said, "Second Miss, my prince only invites you in. I'm afraid it's not convenient for these two to come with you."

Zi Yuan sneered, "How dare you! My young lady is a noble lady, how could she enter this room alone? Not to mention what might happen, even if she enters, it would ruin her reputation. You people in Xiling have no rules and manners, but we, Dayu, are not one of those small and insignificant families without rules."

Su Fei felt that what the woman said was really unpleasant. Although Xiling was not as strong as Dayu in terms of military strength and horses, which was the strongest in the Nine Provinces, it had developed rapidly in recent years and could be regarded as a major country that could not be ignored in the Nine Provinces.

Qiao Wanyan walked into the room without saying a word, and Zi Yuan snorted coldly and followed her in.

Lu Jinye walked in without even looking at Su Fei. Su Fei had no choice but to wave his hand, and several secret guards followed him in and stood guard on both sides of the screen in the inner room.

As long as there is an order from inside, they will all rush in.

After all, although these people were few in number and there were two weak women, they definitely had bad intentions when they came here so late at night.

Chen Che had not been feeling well these past few days. He had not been able to eat or sleep well, and he wore plain white clothes all day long. His slightly thin face was unabashedly covered with a layer of gloom and murderous intent. Everyone in the Prince's Mansion was trembling with fear during this period.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the window with his back to everyone. When he heard footsteps entering the inner room, he slowly turned his head to look.

Under the moonlight, his jawline was extremely smooth.

Her long, crow-feather eyelashes were half closed, casting a shadow like a butterfly's wing on her face.

With his smooth long hair draped behind him, the nobleman who used to be dignified and aloof now looked more elegant.

There were thousands of things he wanted to say and ask, but at this moment, Shen Che couldn't even utter a single word.

He just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to speak first.

Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything, but sat down on a throne elegantly as if she was back home.

She took out a medicine bag from her sleeve as if nothing had happened, opened it and poured all the medicine into a teacup in front of everyone.

Afterwards, he picked up the teapot, poured half a cup of tea, and shook it gently to allow the contents to dissolve evenly in the water.
