Chapter 32: Angered again!

She gave it to this woman when she was in prison.

Mi Yingping.

So that's her name.

"How did you die?" Nan Xi couldn't stay out of the matter.

Not only for the brief chat in the prison, but also because Mi Yingping still held the chestnut cake she gave her before she died.

Wu Zuo hadn't arrived yet, so the Yamen servant could only make a preliminary estimate: "There are obvious scars on the back of her head. We have to wait for Wu Zuo to check the details."

A female prisoner not only escaped from prison, but also died outside. This was not a trivial matter. When Nan Xi returned home, Li Qingmo already knew about it.

"My lord, who do you think would kill a death row prisoner who is about to be executed?" Nan Xi said as he prepared medicine for Li Qingmo.

From the moment she came back to now, all she could think about was this matter.

Li Qingmo was sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand, but he didn't turn it for a long time.

Simply, he put down the book and asked, "If it were you, why would you want to kill someone who will die sooner or later?"

Nan Xi subconsciously retorted: "I don't know how to kill people."

[That will deduct merit points!Absolutely not! 】

Li Qingmo was helpless. When did his patience become so good?
"What I'm saying is that if you want to solve the case, you must first find out what the murderer is thinking."

Nan Xi moved his hands for a moment and thought carefully: "That must be because this person must die now, otherwise he will reveal some of my secrets, or maybe everything is just a coincidence and he was accidentally killed."

Li Qingmo asked again: "Which one of these two possibilities do you think is more likely?"

"Then it depends on the autopsy results. How can we say it out of thin air?" Nan Xi put down the medicinal materials in his hand and walked to Li Qingmo, a little shy and a bit flattering in his smile.

[If I say I want to see Mi Yingping’s body, will the villain take me there? 】

"Your Majesty." She poured Li Qingmo a cup of tea eagerly, "Here, drink more hot tea to moisten your throat, so that you won't have a itchy throat and want to cough."

Then he stood behind Li Qingmo and squeezed his shoulders: "Your Majesty, is this comfortable?"

Li Qingmo's body tensed subconsciously, and then relaxed immediately. He said "hmm" and closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying it.

It was as if he didn't see the expectation in Nan Xi's eyes at all, and hesitated to speak.

[Ah, I usually think the villain is quite smart, but why is it so difficult to communicate now? 】

[Should I say it directly?But he has already helped me twice and given me a place to live. Is it too much to ask for more? 】

[How should I convince him to take me to Jing Zhaoyin to inquire about Mi Yingping’s case? 】

dong dong!

Xia Rui knocked on the door and walked in.

"Father..."

He looked at Nan Xi who was massaging his grandfather, and for some reason he suddenly remembered Lan Jue's advice.

"Uh, sir, I'll be back later."

He carried the hot water out again.

Li Qingmo opened his eyes: "Come back."

"Oh." Xia Rui came in again carrying hot water.

There were two big buckets full, and he was really not tired just tossing and tossing them.

Hot water was poured into the tub, filling the room with a thin layer of heat.

Xia Rui glanced in Nan Xi's direction, and just as he was about to say something, Lan Jue walked in from the outside with a serious look.

"Master, Li Jiang is back."

"Haha." Li Qingmo chuckled, and at some point he took out the walnuts again and played with them in his hands, "Let him come to see me."

Lan Jue: "Sir, Li Jiang was seriously injured. He fainted as soon as he entered the door. He is now in his own room."

Whether to treat Li Jiang or not depends on their decision.

Xia Rui is a straight person and will say whatever he has to say. "The incident in Mi Meng Pavilion has been spread in the world for a long time. Does he really think that I am being fooled? Didn't he know that he is the deputy master Kui who bloodbathed Mi Meng Pavilion?" Nan Xi subconsciously said He retorted: "What if that's what he thinks?"

All three looked towards her.

She murmured in a low voice: "That's right. You know everything because you are already doubting him. But from his perspective, he doesn't know that you are doubting him. You are his backing, and the palace is his destination. He was injured because of the mission given by the prince, and maybe he thought he would receive some rewards when he came back."

I have to say, there is indeed some truth to this.

Li Qingmo's eyes narrowed slightly. Sometimes they did think things were too complicated.

He looked at Nan Xi: "Please help Li Jiang look at his injuries."

"it is good!"

Nan Xi responded loudly.

[The villain has finally found my place, merit points, here I come! 】

She first tested the water temperature in the tub, and then put all the prepared medicinal ingredients in.

"My lord, you take a dip first, and Xia Rui and I can go there."

After saying that, he took Xia Rui and ran away.

Li Qingmo's eyes fell on Nan Xi's hand holding Xia Rui's, and followed their figures away, gradually losing their warmth.

Lan Jue's heart was trembling, and she really wanted to drag Xia Rui back immediately.

"Uh, sir, can I help you undress?"

Li Qingmo looked at him with cold eyes: "Get out!"

"Yes."

Lan Jue quickly exited and closed the door.

Angered again.

It's because of Xia Rui again.

If he cares about Xia Rui's affairs from now on, he will be like a dog.

……

The residence of the guards is on the west side of the palace, in small independent courtyards.

In Li Jiang's room, Nan Xi just took his pulse.

His body was covered in blood and his clothes were almost in rags. Nan Xi asked Xia Rui to find scissors, and together they cut Li Jiang's shirt open to reveal the scars on his body.

There were blood stains, and the bones were deeply visible, especially on the right arm, which seemed to have been severely cut open by a knife. Fortunately, no muscles or bones were injured.

"I'll give him acupuncture to stop the bleeding first. Brother Xia, take my prescription and get the medicine. Remember, there are two types of medicine above. The one on this paper is for external application, and the one on this paper is for internal use."

Xia Rui looked at the two prescriptions that had no difference, "..."

Hey, Miss Nan is good at everything, but her handwriting is a bit ugly.

After treating Li Jiang's wounds, Nan Xi left. As for feeding him medicine, Xia Rui naturally did it.

Nan Xi returned to Yunyan Pavilion, and Cerebell Ax saw her from a distance. He swung his tail excitedly and rushed towards her like a sprint of [-] meters. But when he was in front of Nan Xi, he suddenly stopped.

It kept sniffing around Nan Xi, sometimes showing a fierce expression.

"Yuanbao, what's wrong with you?" Nan Xi reached out to pick up the Cerebellar Ax, but it was dodged.

This is the first time.

Hanlian and Shaoyao also came over.

"What's going on? Yuanbao is usually the most clingy to girls, so why did he suddenly seem to see some enemy?" Shaoyao bent down to pick up Cerebellum Axe.

I found that there was no resistance from it, but its eyes that were as wide as copper bells were always looking at Nan Xi.

Nan Xi realized it later and raised his hand to smell himself, "Is there some smell on my body that it doesn't like?"
