All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 46
When Chu Yan walked into the secret room, he saw Shen Lingxi hugging a boy covered in blood.

He frowned slightly, and was about to approach——
"Wait a minute, sir." Shen Lingxi called him, "This place is full of blood, please call someone quickly, and take this little gentleman out for treatment. He should be the special envoy of Yun Kingdom."

Behind Chu Yan was followed by the hidden guard, and when he raised his finger bones slightly, the hidden guard stepped forward, took Yun Huang from Shen Lingxi's hand, and took him away from the secret room.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Lingxi completely relaxed and stood up.

Seeing that Chu Yan hadn't moved, she reminded, "My dress is covered in blood, and I'm frightening you, sir. You'd better go ahead."

Chu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and the displeasure in his heart seemed to be ironed by something, and it was miraculously smoothed away.

So much so that he didn't even think about asking why Shen Lingxi appeared here so precisely to save Yun Wang.

He walked in front of Shen Lingxi, his star eyes reflected the candlelight, and there was a faint stream of light.

"You just... urged me to leave because you were worried that I would see the blood?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

Shen Lingxi was stunned for a moment.

This is really not.

Purely coincidental.

But since he asked this question, it was equivalent to sending the standard answer to Shen Lingxi.

She naturally wanted to give a perfect score to win the favor of the embroidered clothes commander.

Shen Lingxi took two steps back, turned to Chu Yanfu, showed ten percent sincerity, and apologized to him solemnly, "Before in Fu'an Hall, I caused Lang Jun to be frightened, Lingxi has always been sorry, and has not apologized to him face to face. , I beg your pardon."

This is equivalent to the words of "acceptance", which made the corners of Chu Yan's lips twitch slightly, and a few traces of strangeness rose in his heart that was extremely strange to him.

"It's okay, it's just an old disease, the last time was just an accident, and I'm not as afraid of blood as the girl thinks."

As he said, he pulled Shen Lingxi's sleeve very naturally, trying his best to ignore the discomfort caused by the blood on her sleeve, "Go, I'll take you back."

For the past two days, the two of them had to pretend to be "in love with each other" in front of others in order to deceive others, such small gestures as "pull the sleeves" and "pretend to snuggle" were easy to do.

Shen Lingxi looked at his bony hands covered in blood, and was amazed in her heart.

He really loves acting.

Obviously a clean freak, there is no one around at the moment, and she has to do her best to pretend to be an infatuated scholar.

She really bowed down and felt ashamed.

Shen Lingxi was led by Chu Yan's sleeve, walked out of the secret passage, and saw Mu Huaian striding towards him.

Mu Huai'an was wearing a red embroidered gold dress and a black cloak, his peach eyes were shining brightly in the light of the torch.

He seemed to squeeze between the two of them unintentionally, separating them.

"Shen Lingxi, why are you making yourself dirty again?"

Mu Huai'an said with a look of disgust, took off the cloak on his body, and tied it around his head for her.

With a wide cloak to cover the blood stains, Shen Lingxi naturally wouldn't be polite to him, thanked him softly, and wrapped herself up.

The sleeves were pulled away from the fingertips, and the smile on Chu Yan's face disappeared from the corners of his lips.

He looked at Mu Huai'an, and asked in a deep voice: "Has Shen Liang been arrested? Can the concept of longevity be thoroughly investigated?" In his words, he unconsciously revealed a bit of the power of a superior.

Mu Huai'an looked serious, "It's about Xuanpinghou's mansion, the emperor will definitely intervene, it's the most appropriate for an embroidered envoy to investigate the case, I have already sent Shen Liang to the Beiya, just waiting for you..."

Halfway through the speech, he realized that Shen Lingxi didn't know Chu Yan's identity, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Just wait for the interrogation by 'that one'."

Chu Yan also consciously lost his composure, and slowed down his tone, "Since the embroidered clothes envoy intervened, I think we can find out the whole story, so we don't need to intervene anymore. Let's send Miss Shen back to the house first. She disappeared for two days without any reason. Presumably the elders in the family should also In a hurry."

Mu Huai'an couldn't help laughing when he thought of the reaction of the ghosts and monsters in the Xuanping Hou Mansion after Shen Lingxi disappeared.

He looked at Shen Lingxi, "Shall I take you back to the coffin shop? Or find a comfortable inn and go to rest for a night first?"

"Go back to the coffin shop." Shen Lingxi replied.

Chu Yan frowned.

He didn't understand the situation of the Shen family at all, so he couldn't understand what the two in front of him were fighting.

This feeling of being out of control made him very uncomfortable.

Mu Huai'an laughed, Tao Hua's eyes were full of complacency.

"I'll take you to the Heming Tower to have a meal first, and then send you back. It's still early, and there's a night market over there. You've been living in Wangxian Village, so you've probably never seen such excitement before."

Chu Yan looked at him indifferently, the dignified son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, the young minister of Dali Temple, it was really eye-catching to act like this worthless.

"Heming Tower probably doesn't have time to go." Shen Lingxi gathered her cloak and walked straight to the lotus pond. "Before I go back, there is still one thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Mu Huai'an looked blank.

Shen Lingxi bent down, pinched off a lotus flower with her green fingertips, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

"This lotus grows really well." She murmured.

"What's the matter." Mu Huai'an snorted, "If you like it, I'll have someone dig a bigger one in another village in the future, so you can look at it every day."

Shen Lingxi turned around and looked at him with a half smile but not a smile.

Suddenly changed the topic, "Since Yinyue Pavilion chose the Yunguo Proton Mansion as its old nest, it must have been planned long ago to push everything to the Proton. As long as the pavilion master insists that they are from Yunguo, all matters will be dealt with." , are all instigated by Yun Huang, and no one else can be found out."

She paused, "If I'm not mistaken, the embroidered clothes envoy checked for two days, did they find out that the person behind Yinyue Pavilion is Yun Huang?"

Mu Huaian subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan pursed her lips and nodded to him invisibly, acquiescing to Shen Lingxi's words.

"The Embroidery Envoy is always meticulous, and if he finds out that it is Yun Huang, then he has solid evidence." Mu Huai'an asked suspiciously, "You have never met Yun Huang, why do you think he was framed by someone?"

Shen Lingxi didn't answer, but only looked at Chu Yan.

She told him that it was said by the ghosts who died in this mansion.

Although the reason sounds absurd, he once told her "believe her".

"Just because Yun Wang was locked in a secret room, he can't be cleared of his suspicion. It may also be a kind of bitter trick, ordering people to imprison him, pretending that he was framed." Chu Yan said matter-of-factly.

In case investigation, the emphasis is on clear facts and sufficient evidence.

If the one who survived, killed himself as a native of Yun, and identified Yun Wang as the mastermind behind the scenes, it would be very difficult to reverse the case.

Difficult to return to, not impossible.

The wild goose leaves marks, the wind leaves a sound.

In official affairs, Chu Yan is not used to talking too much to people.

Since he chose to believe in Shen Lingxi, he would check it out.

Shen Lingxi smiled, a very standard answer.

For such a thing, she had expected it a long time ago and was not surprised.

She turned around again, and threw the lotus in her hand back into the pond. Her beautiful face showed a rare hint of pity.

"Please, both of you, find more work..." She said in an ethereal voice, "The corpses of those Yun people who died in the mansion were all buried in this square lotus pond. If they come out together, it will be Yinyue Pavilion who framed the proton." Irrefutable evidence. I promised these people from Yun Kingdom that I would send their souls back to their homeland..."
