Chapter 472: Help Your Brain Get Water
The boatman walked in, squatted down and sniffed Lu Gousheng's breath, confirming that he was dead.
He was killed on the spot and didn't even have time to fight back.
Qiao Yihuan didn't know what to do at this moment. She wanted to ask the boatman to throw the person overboard, but everyone saw her going out with Lu Gousheng, and they would definitely question her then.
But if I don't answer, I still can't explain myself clearly.
No matter what, I killed someone.
No one can prove that it was Lu Gousheng who wanted to bully him, so he has no way to defend himself.
If the boatman could prove it for himself.
Qiao Yihuan suddenly knelt down, crying and begging for help.
"I beg you, can you testify for me? You know I am innocent, can you testify for me and the government? He is the husband bestowed by the emperor. If I can't explain clearly, I will definitely be implicated."
The boatman didn't say a word to her from beginning to end, and was not moved by such a scene.
Just within Qiao Yihuan's sight, he took out the dagger from his sleeve and slowly pulled out the silver body inside.
Qiao Yihuan was stunned, and his scalp went numb for a moment.
"You! Are you the one sent by Qiao Wanyan?!"
The boatman finally answered her without hesitation, "If you offend someone, you should never give them a chance to kill you. You are engaged but you seduce other men. This is what you get."
Qiao Yihuan frowned, "Seducing a man? When did I ever seduce a man?"
Not Qiao Wanyan? !
The boatman said coldly: "You can turn into a ghost and ask Miss Shen about this."
Qiao Yihuan's eyes widened. Isn't that Miss Shen's Shen Lingyi? Shen Lingyi wants to kill her?
Why? Who does she like? Who did she seduce?
“Help!”
Seeing the boatman coming towards him with a dagger in his hand, Qiao Yihuan desperately shouted for help.
In the distance, several boats that were attracted by the sound of Qiao Yihuan's initial struggle with Lu Gousheng also came over here, asking questions as they approached.
The boatman heard their voices and stabbed the dagger into Qiao Yihuan's heart cleanly.
The killer that Shen Lingyi hired at a huge expense was a assassin raised by the Qiao family, who had been trained in killing since childhood.
The location of the heart could be determined without careful examination. He stabbed the dagger and looked at Qiao Yihuan's painful and twisted expression. He turned around without hesitation, left the cabin and jumped into the water.
···
At the window on the top floor of the teahouse, Qiao Wanyan sipped cold tea and looked at the scenery outside.
In the distance is Xicheng Mountain, and at your feet is a bustling street. The combination of natural landscape and the atmosphere of life is particularly interesting.
A young woman knocked on the door and walked in. She walked up to Qiao Wanyan, lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
"Miss, there is news coming back."
Qiao Wanyan's expression changed slightly and she put down the teacup. "Speak."
Maid: "We succeeded. The dagger pierced Qiao Yihuan's heart. Because someone was led away by the assassins in time, Qiao Yihuan was quickly sent to the clinic. It is said that he is dying and his life or death is still uncertain. There are spies nearby, and they will report any news as soon as possible."
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes, "Where is Lu Gousheng? What was he doing when the assassins attacked?"
Maid: "Lu Gousheng is dead. He died at the hands of Qiao Yihuan."
Zi Yuan frowned, "What does this mean? How could a grown man like Lu Gousheng die at the hands of Qiao Yihuan?"
The maid replied: "According to the assassins, there was a dispute in the cabin, and Lu Gousheng was enraged and tried to defile Qiao Yihuan. In desperation, Qiao Yihuan stabbed him in the neck with a dagger."
Qiao Wanyan turned her head and looked out the window. "Then he deserves to die, too."
Right now, Qiao Yihuan is dying, so let's see if Shen Lingyi is okay.
She would use Shen Lingyi to help her test the protection of Heaven for her, so that she could decide whether or not to continue her action.
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and met a pair of gazes.
It is Chen Che.
I haven't seen him for a long time, and he still looks so annoying.
Chen Che stood on the long street and looked at her quietly. After a while, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
That smile contained a hint of playfulness and a hint of expectation, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly, but Chen Che did not take advantage of the situation to go upstairs and chat with her. Instead, he retracted his gaze and turned away, quickly disappearing on the long street.
Shen Lingyi had never been to Penglai Tower, but at dusk Qiao Wanyan invited her to go there and have a good experience.
After bathing, Shen Lingyi, red and fragrant, sat in the private room to have dinner with Qiao Wanyan.
"Lingyi, try this osmanthus cake. Although I think it's not as delicious as the one made by Sun Tian in my house, it is still the best osmanthus cake in Beijing."
Shen Lingyi looked at the osmanthus cake in the bowl and picked it up without hesitation and put it on the table, "I don't like things with osmanthus flavor."
She did not give Qiao Wanyan any face, nor did she truly regard her as a friend of equal status, so she did not care at all whether she was unhappy or not.
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyelashes as she looked at the osmanthus cake she had placed on the table.
Shen Lingyi also noticed it, “Everyone has things they don’t like, you can’t force me to eat it just because you like it, right?”
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything.
Shen Lingyi smiled and said, "Okay, I was a little too straightforward and made you feel uncomfortable, but I didn't mean anything else. We can't finish so many dishes, why don't you ask the princess to come over and eat together?"
She had never been able to talk to the princess. The Tenth Princess was no longer the same as before when no one cared about her. If she could talk to the princess and gradually become friends with her, her status in the capital would improve a little.
Otherwise, everyone would mention it as a scandal in which he made a fool of himself in the palace.
Qiao Wanyan still didn't speak. Shen Lingyi felt a little embarrassed and lost face. She picked up a piece of roasted lamb and took a bite with an impatient look on her face.
Suddenly his body froze, and then he covered his chest and started coughing violently.
Qiao Wanyan stared at her closely. Could it be that God was still protecting Qiao Yihuan?
But the next moment, after Shen Lingyi coughed, she took the water handed over by Chu Lu and drank it, and the piece of meat that was choking her was swallowed down.
Qiao Wanyan let out a long breath, realizing that she was not hurting Qiao Yihuan but was choking.
How come she didn't choke to death?
I just got nervous for nothing.
Shen Lingyi took a long time to calm down and drank half a cup of water before she recovered. "I ate too fast and my throat is too narrow, so I choked. Why is the roasted lamb cut into such big pieces? They don't even consider those of us with small appetites."
Shen Lingyi put down the water cup and picked up the chopsticks, "Why don't you eat? You're not still angry about that sentence, are you? It's just an osmanthus cake, you wouldn't be so angry, right?"
Qiao Wanyan suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't you drink enough water?"
Shen Lingyi was stunned for a moment and didn't quite understand what she meant. Just as she was about to ask back, she saw her pick up the teacup and pour all the tea in it at herself.
"ah!!!!!"
"what you do?!"
"Are you crazy?"
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Your brain is a little dry today. I will help you get some water into your brain and return you to the way you were before."
She finished her words and jokingly said, "No need to thank me. After all, we are friends, right?"
