Jade Without Fragrance: Chapter 111 old knowledge

   Chapter 111 Old Acquaintances

   It turned out that it wasn't her illusion that she felt familiar after several encounters, but because they had met before!

   I saw it when I was a kid.

  Eight years ago, not far from the former Wen residence, there lived a family of an official surnamed Liu. There was a son and a daughter. The daughter was an elder sister. At that time, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and his son was a younger brother, only seven or eight years old.

  In the capital where high-ranking officials and honors are numerous, a five-rank official is too inconspicuous, and cannot be said to be rich, but the male host is down-to-earth and generous, the hostess is gentle and kind, the eldest daughter is beautiful and sensible, the youngest son is lively and intelligent, and the life of the family is very beautiful.

  The bad thing is that the eldest girl is too beautiful.

  The eldest daughter disappeared when she was playing on the Qixi Festival, and was only found the next day. Neighbors and neighbors talked a lot, saying something bad about Miss Liu, and on the day she was retrieved, Miss Liu committed suicide.

She was still young and didn't quite know what happened to the Liu family. She had forgotten who she heard from. It seemed that the Liu family went to report to the officials, but before the government could investigate Liu's father, he died of a sudden illness, and the case was over. After that, Mother Liu left the capital with her young son.

  The Liu family's house was empty for a long time, and as the new owner moved in, things about the Liu family were gradually forgotten by the neighbors.

   In the two years when the Liu family had an accident, she would sometimes think of the boy who was about her age.

   She is a mute, and has almost no playmates except her elder sister and righteous brother Cheng Shu. One day, she was watching people on the street outside her house as usual to pass the time. The boy passed by and suddenly raised his hand and asked her if she wanted to eat candied haws.

   Maybe the boy's smile is too bright, maybe the red candied gourd in his hand is too attractive, and she has almost nodded her head when she knew it and never played together.

   She ate candied haws with her missing front teeth, listening to the boy who also lost front teeth talking.

   After that, they occasionally played together. She was always silent, and he kept talking.

   Not long after something happened to the Liu family, they never saw each other again.

  Lin Hao looked at the boy who was as quiet as a water lily with tears in his eyes.

It is you.

   Obviously there is no deep feeling and intersection, but the emotions of discomfort and annoyance are overwhelming, impacting her heart.

   She suddenly thought of the plum that was brought to the front by the red silk.

   At that time, she thought that the teenager did it at will, or remembered that she once gave a reward when she was performing on the street. Thinking about it now, did he recognize her, who was barely a playmate, long ago?

  Lin's eyes were so lowered that no one could see the tears in his eyes, but he didn't know that a pair of calm and clear eyes were always watching her.

   "Do you all know the origin of this young man?" It was a Jin Linwei who asked the question, who accompanied Cheng Maoming, the commander of Feng Jinlinwei, to come to have a drink.

   When the earth-shattering event such as the assassination of the prince happened, Cheng Maoming hurriedly entered the palace, leaving behind a few capable subordinates to mobilize the manpower and stabilize the scene.

  Jin Linwei's gaze swept over everyone present.

  Everyone knew that this young man was the murderer who assassinated the prince. Hearing this, he shook his head like a rattle.

  Jin Linwei waved his hand: "Clean up the corpses first, and all the living people in the Ruyi class will be locked up!"

   Soon someone came to drag the body.

  Lin Hao watched Xiao Feng being dragged away, leaving a long bloodstain on the ground.

   In the hall, which was suffocating because of too many people, the smell of blood became stronger.

   Not to mention those ladies and ladies, even some male guests couldn't help retching.

   Jin Linwei, who was in charge, had a condensed expression, and he had no intention of letting these people go.

  If it is normal, anyone here is random, even the commander of Jin Linwei would not want to offend. But this is the assassination of the prince, and anyone who has something to do with it, no matter what his identity is, will not be able to eat and walk around.

   Among them, the people who are under the greatest pressure are the people from the Marquis of Wuning.

   "Who invited the Ruyi class?"

  Tang Hua's face was as pale as a ghost, and it took a while to speak: "It's me..."

   Countless eyes came over, and Tang Hua hurriedly defended himself: "I also saw the Ruyi class playing well in another house, so I invited them here to cheer up my mother's birthday. Who would have thought that they would be so daring!"

  Prince Concubine reluctantly maintained her composure to help her brother out of the siege: "The Hou residence is His Royal Highness Yue's family, and he is most concerned about His Highness's safety, but who would have thought that a small juggling class would hide a traitor..."

   These words attracted a lot of nods.

   Who would have thought that a young man with beautiful eyebrows would dare to assassinate the prince. They just came to drink, how could they get involved in such a terrible thing?

   Let them go.

   The person who handled this matter also knew that it was impossible to keep so many nobles here all the time, and let the head of the Hou residence lead people to count the identities of visitors from each residence.

   When Lin Hao went out with Lin, he saw many people with guns and knives surrounding the Marquis of Wuning, walking inside and out.

   It started to snow outside, and the snow particles were wrapped in the cold wind, as cold as a knife.

  Lin Hao looked up at the gray sky, and the snow particles took the opportunity to fill her neck.

   "Okay, hurry up and get in the car." Seeing that Lin was not moving, Mrs. Lin urged.

   A voice came from the side: "Mrs. Lin, I'll see you off, it's just on the way."

  Lin looked over.

   The young man riding on the horse had snow on the hem of his hair, and his posture was as straight as a cedar.

   Lin shi didn't care to pay attention to the appearance of the young man, he waved his hand and said, "Sir, hurry back to the house, be careful of catching a cold."

   Qi Shuo was silent.

   In Mrs. Lin's eyes, he seemed extraordinarily weak.

   He looked at Lin Hao, but found that she was absent-minded and didn't know what she was thinking.

   "Then you and the second lady Lin, be careful on the road." Qi Shuo took another look at Lin from the corner of his eye, and rode his horse forward.

   Mrs. Lin took Lin Hao into the carriage and put a heater into her hand: "Ah Hao, are you scared?"

  The warmth spread from the palm of his hand, and Lin Hao's pale lips regained a bit of blood.

   "A little bit." She was confused and had no energy to chat with her mother, so she simply admitted.

Although Lin's family is not afraid of death, he can't help being shocked when he thinks of the assassination of the prince in the Marquis of Wuning: "Even the prince can be assassinated, and the world is becoming more and more uneasy. I don't know what the situation of the prince is. This time, I am afraid that many people will want to suffer."

   "Prince should be fine." Lin Hao murmured.

  Lin's expression was a little strange: "Ah, how do you know that the prince is fine?"

  Lin Hao's eyes regained his agility, but he hid Yu Yu: "Prince has so many masters to protect him, at most it's a skin injury."

   In her previous life, she returned to the capital, when the prince was in custody, and no one mentioned this assassination. The most reasonable analysis is that the assassination brought little damage to the prince.

  It's a pity that Xiao Feng died in vain, but he didn't know what kind of hatred he had with the prince.

   Lin is so sorry that Prince Gou is fine, but the imperial doctor who is treating the prince in the Marquis of Wuning's mansion doesn't think so.

   "Not good, the poison quenched on the flying knife is too domineering, I am afraid to scrape the bone to cure the poison."

  The other imperial doctor showed panic and whispered: "The one who will suffer a lot, Your Highness—"

  Prince has fallen into a coma and has no idea what to bear.
