Chapter 330 The Woman Seeking Death
In the dark room, the two guards stayed for a long time before they were sure that there was no one in the water, then they turned around and walked out.
Shangguan Nanxing and others who were at the bottom of the water finally emerged from the water. After climbing out of the hot spring pool, the four of them all took deep breaths.
Then Shangguan Nanxing and Ruofeng worked together to quickly dry the clothes of the four people.
Xiao He breathed for a long time before the feeling of her chest exploding subsided. She looked at Ruo Feng, and her face turned red when she thought of the scene just now. If the room wasn't dark, Xiao He would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
“You you…”
Xiao He pointed at Ruofeng and lowered her voice, saying "you" for a long time without knowing what to say. Although she knew that it was a decision made in a hurry and she would not have been able to hold on for so long if it weren't for Ruofeng, it was still a bit aggrieved for her daughter to be kissed like this for the first time.
"Xiao He, I'm sorry, I had no choice."
No one noticed that after Ruofeng said this, his face turned red. It was also the first time he kissed a girl, and his heart was beating so violently that he felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest at the next moment.
"Forget it, I don't blame you. You were trying to save me, so just pretend... nothing happened."
When Xiao He heard Ruofeng's apology, she felt a little sorry. After all, the other person didn't mean to take advantage of her. It would be petty for her to hold on to it. It was just... a kiss.
Thinking of this, Xiao He secretly glanced at Ruofeng in front of her again. Fortunately, the room was dim and Ruofeng did not notice.
"Nanxing, there is something wrong with this pool." Su Yue naturally noticed Xiaohe and Ruofeng's embarrassment, so she spoke softly to divert everyone's attention.
"Is that the smell of blood?" Shangguan Nanxing's face was serious. He felt it the moment he entered the pool.
"Yeah." Su Yue nodded slightly and turned to look at the pool of water in front of her. At this time, with the faint smell of blood, the pool of water looked extremely strange under the moonlight.
"Just now I heard from the guards that this pool of water is where the imperial concubine bathes. Since it is in this Qinyan Villa, I guess it must be the imperial concubine Qin."
Shangguan Nanxing followed Su Yue's gaze towards the deep pool and whispered what he had just heard.
"Nanxing? I have a feeling that those young women should be related to this pool of water, so the person from the royal family of Mo Kingdom should be Concubine Qin."
Su Yue turned her head, stared at the tiny stream of water constantly flowing in the hot spring pool, and murmured.
The young girl, the hot spring pool smelling of blood, Concubine Qin, how can all these be put together to make sense?
"I can't think so much now. The most important thing is to get out first."
Shangguan Nanxing listened carefully for a while and whispered that the sounds of searching outside were still going on. Because four girls were missing, they believed that other people would come here soon, and they couldn't stay in the water forever.
"Master is right, but is there any way to get out?" Ruofeng stood up, quietly approached the window, and looked at the guards running around outside.
"There is a way. We just make it more chaotic here." Su Yue looked at the flickering candlelight not far inside the room and gave a calculating smile.
Not long after, a huge fire broke out in Concubine Qin's hot spring room. All the guards who were just looking for someone became panicked. The hot spring pool was the place that Concubine Qin cared about the most.
Now that the water has leaked, although there is water in the pool and it will not be burned, if the house collapses, it will definitely take a lot of time to rebuild and clean it. If the imperial concubine comes to bathe during this period, no one can bear the consequences.
"Don't look for anyone. They are just a few girls. Hurry up and put out the fire." The man who heard the sound and rushed over during the day finally showed a look of fear on his face, which had not changed until then.
Then everyone started to put out the fire. In the chaos, Shangguan Nanxing and others quickly fled the courtyard under the cover of the flames.
When they went out, Su Yue and others discovered that there was a bamboo forest in front of them. Then the four of them looked at each other and quickly went into the bamboo forest.
This Qinyan Villa seemed to be very large. Shangguan Nanxing and his four companions walked out of the bamboo forest and walked in remote places with few people, but they did not find any useful clues. During the walk, they were almost discovered by patrolmen. Fortunately, it was dark and their vision was obstructed, so they managed to escape.
Just when they had gained nothing and were thinking about how to get out of the villa before dawn, a woman's plaintive and suppressed cry was suddenly heard in the darkness. Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing looked at each other and prepared to go and see.
As for Ruofeng, he acts alone to find a way out.
Su Yue followed the crying sound and saw a person squatting by the lake from a distance. Something was burning in front of her. As she got closer, Su Yue smelled the smell of burning paper. It seemed that the crying woman was commemorating someone.
"Second Miss, I have told you so many times. If you don't care about it, the owner will punish you if he finds out."
At this time, a slightly hoarse female voice was heard. Su Yue was a little far away and couldn't see the face of the person who was speaking clearly.
"I am his concubine's daughter born from his drunken sex with a maid. He always beats and scolds me. Today is my mother's death anniversary. I have to secretly go to the memorial service in the middle of the night. I have already anticipated the consequences. You don't need to persuade me."
A sad female voice came with the wind, and Su Yue looked at the woman again.
Under the light of the fire, the woman's appearance could be seen slightly clearly. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her figure looked extremely thin.
"Second Miss, why are you doing this?" The older man spoke again, his tone filled with helplessness.
"Go back, I want to be alone for a while." The woman said no more and just threw another stack of paper money into the brazier in front of her.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the old man just shook his head helplessly and turned away.
"Mother, only now when no one is around can I call you mother. You must be living well over there, otherwise why would you not even want to have a dream?
You once said that death is the best way to get rid of something. Now I want to try it, mother. I hate everyone in this villa who has bullied us, but I can't do anything about it. I'm tired, mother. ”
After the woman finished speaking, she threw all the paper money around her into the brazier. As the flames burned, she stood up and walked firmly towards the lake step by step.
Su Yue watched the woman disappearing little by little in the lake. She originally didn't want to care about this matter, but when she thought of the woman's identity, she finally turned to look at Shangguan Nanxing the moment the woman was submerged in the water.
"Nanxing is in trouble, she is trying to commit suicide, go quickly." After hearing this, Shangguan Nanxing rushed out, jumped directly into the water, and dragged up the half-drowned woman.
"Cough cough cough... Who are you?" The woman woke up slowly under Su Yue's silver needle, looked at Su Yue's unfamiliar face and asked.
"The person who saved you." Su Yue took back the silver needle and spoke only after seeing that the woman was fine.
"Why don't you let me die? What's the point of saving a useless person?" After hearing Su Yue's words, the woman did not show any gratitude, but instead gave a mocking smile.
"I will save you under certain conditions. You are not useless to me. Likewise, I heard what you said just now. In return, I can help you deal with those who bully you, even kill them. So, do you want to die in such a miserable way, or cooperate with me?"
When Su Yue heard the woman say that she hated the people in this villa, she had already thought of a plan in her mind. Now it depended on whether the woman in front of her was willing.
"What do you want me to do?" The girl looked at Su Yue, and seemed to think of some unpleasant scene, and finally her eyes became firm.
She was not even afraid of death, but she was afraid that the person in front of her would cheat her. Besides, she had nothing now, so why not take a gamble.
"You will know how smart your decision is in the future. Dying is the most cowardly behavior, but it will only make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy. My name is Su Yue, let's be friends."
Su Yue smiled when she heard the woman's words.
"Bai Ning, this is my name, what do you want me to do?" The girl stood up and looked at Su Yue and the others.
