ah?
Xie Qingyao actually didn't see what He Zheng did to the assassin, as his body blocked it all. But she did see him strangling the assassin's neck.
The assassin rolled his eyes, as if he was going to die in the next second.
We can't just let him die like that, we have to pry some information out of him.
At that time, Xie Qingyao was really feeling cold, so she interrupted He Zheng.
She didn't expect that he would really stop as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xie Qingyao shook her head. "No, I wasn't scared."
She answered what He Zheng hadn't asked, "Even if others are afraid of the Marquis, I'm not."
He Zheng's eyes were slightly disturbed.
"Um."
Somewhat unexpectedly, He Zheng pressed on her, lifted her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Wait, Xie Qingyao couldn't help but tremble.
She had just let it slip. She was not afraid at all. She was afraid. She was afraid when she was on the couch!
At this time, He Zheng was not as good-tempered as he was when he was well-dressed during the day. Not only was he strong, but he also occasionally had difficulty controlling his strength.
"You, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"You don't listen to me at all..."
Xie Qingyao's eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed, and she was so angry that she wanted to bite him.
The hot breath sprayed in her ears. He Zheng pinched her waist tightly and coaxed her in a low voice.
Xie Qingyao's thoughts were in a mess, and she accepted him.
Wantonly entanglement, indulgence.
…
It was almost dawn when Xie Qingyao closed her eyes, but she woke up again soon after.
She wanted to turn over, but she had no strength. She became angry and raised her head slightly to bite He Zheng's neck, with a hint of revenge in her eyes.
He Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw her burying her head in his neck and making a fuss, without even changing her expression.
He just stroked the back of her neck and whispered, "Go back to sleep."
Xie Qingyao had been tormented all night and was really exhausted, so she let go in a daze.
"I want to change my position," she muttered.
In a moment, He Zheng turned her over so that her back was facing him, but still held her in his arms.
Xie Qingyao really went back to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, He Zheng was standing by the bed, calling her for dinner.
Xie Qingyao asked, "Ah? It's evening now?"
He Zheng responded: "Yeah."
He paused, "Yaoyao still wants to sleep?"
Xie Qingyao's mouth twitched, "No, no, I need to get up."
She slept all day, would He Zheng cover for her? Others asked...
Catching her gaze, He Zheng spoke, "I told them that Yaoyao was tired from visiting the lantern festival yesterday, so there's nothing wrong with her reading and resting in the yard today."
This is very appropriate!
Xie Qingyao smiled and crawled out of the bed, only to find that she was not wearing anything. She glanced at He Zheng with a reproachful look.
He Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then immediately picked her up with his strong hands and slowly dressed her.
"I can't walk anymore, carry me." Xie Qingyao said lazily.
He Zheng looked at the distance between the bed and the dining table. It was only a few steps around the screen.
His expression remained unchanged as he leaned forward and said, "Come up."
He is really unlucky.
Xie Qingyao was not pretentious. She swiftly lay on He Zheng's back and put her arms around his neck.
He Zheng was tall and had long legs, so he reached the edge of the dining table in just three or five steps.
Xie Qingyao didn't come down, but instead stroked his Adam's apple with her fingertips, feeling a little guilty and distressed as she said, "There's really a bite mark here."
"I didn't mean to use too much force."
I must have been sleepy at that time, and everything felt wrong.
Hearing the annoyance in her voice, He Zheng let out a small smile.
"No problem."
"Where on my body can Yaoyao not bite?"
"..." Xie Qingyao thought of something, her face flushed, and she cursed fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to bite you?"
He Zheng's mind flashed back to Xie Qingyao's last night with red eyes filled with tears, whimpering as if she wanted to bite him.
"I'm so hungry. I want to eat." Xie Qingyao quickly changed the subject, got off his back, and sat down on the chair.
He Zheng served the meal.
After dinner, Xifeng came into the yard to report.
"Last night's assassin...is dead."
Xie Qingyao was surprised: "How could he die?"
Xi Feng frowned slightly, "He died of poison. The person behind this had already made him take the poison, or perhaps he poisoned him without his knowledge."
"I'm more inclined to the latter, because the assassin looked shocked when he died, and it seemed he didn't expect to die from poisoning."
It can be seen that the person behind the scenes has a vicious mind. Regardless of whether the assassin completes the mission or not, his end is death.
The funny thing is that he had no idea and still worked hard for that person.
Xie Qingyao tapped the table with her fingertips, "Does that mean the clue is broken?"
Xi Feng hesitated and said, "Before he died, the assassin called out to Princess Yongjia."
"Princess Yongjia?" Xie Qingyao's expression suddenly changed.
He Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not her."
Xie Qingyao looked at He Zheng.
He Zheng said in a cold tone: "Even though Yongjia is stupid, he wouldn't reveal his identity and let the assassin know who ordered him to betray him."
Yes, only a fool would tell the assassin his true identity. If the assassination fails, he will be implicated.
This kind of thing is usually left to the subordinates to handle, and they will never get involved in finding assassins.
Therefore, Xi Feng didn't quite believe what the assassin said before he died.
Xie Qingyao said quietly, "The assassin was also deceived. The person he thought was the mastermind behind the scenes was just a scapegoat."
