away from the heart

Chapter 91
Chuyue woke up and turned around, only feeling a splitting headache.Tao Yao hurriedly came forward: "Princess, you are awake!"

Chuyue slowed down, and vaguely remembered what happened yesterday, hurriedly looked down, and saw that her clothes were neatly dressed, and she had been changed from head to toe.Her heart jumped into her throat, she pulled Tao Yao, and said incoherently: "I, I have been poisoned by the love potion, so it will be me?! And my clothes! Where is Xue Yao?"

Taoyao explained lightly: "Princess, don't panic! The general tied you up yesterday, and the rope was very strong. You tried to pounce on the general several times, but failed. The clothes were changed for you by the slave." She teased Chuyue, "Tsk tsk, you were really like a wolf and a tiger yesterday..."

Chuyue was dumb: "Xue Yao tied me up? Is that how he helped me?"

Tao Yao teased: "Then the princess wants the general to help you?"

"I, I don't want anything!" Chuyue hid her face, "But, how could I have taken the love potion?"

"This... the servants don't know either."

Chuyue continued to think about what happened yesterday, and her heart jumped again: "Did I be with Xingchen at the beginning, and what about Xingchen?"

"The lord left early yesterday morning. I heard from the palace that there is nothing wrong with the lord, but the servant seemed very angry when he saw him go." Tao Yao looked at Chuyue cautiously, "Princess, you were so... ferocious yesterday, no?" What are you doing to your lord?"

Chuyue trembled: "I, I can't remember." She cried and said with a mournful face, "Xingchen is still young, if I really did something beast...I'll go to Shun Palace to ask!"

The sky is a bit gloomy, which is a sign before the rainstorm.Xue Yao rode his horse and galloped all the way, stopping in front of a deserted house.Bai Liqi led a military dog ​​and waited at the door, cupped his hands and said: "General, the military dog ​​has followed the smell of my daughter's fragrance to this place, presumably this is the assassin's lair."

Xue Yao walked to the door of the house, glanced at the plaque, and frowned: "How long have you been guarding the door, can you see people coming and going?"

"It's only a quarter of an hour. I didn't dare to act rashly because I was afraid of scaring the snake. Don't worry, the general, no one is going in or out of this house, but there are people walking around all the time."

"I'm afraid it's a blindfold. This is the old house of a corrupt official who was killed years ago. There are many secret rooms and secret passages. It has been a quarter of an hour, and people may have escaped." Xue Yao kicked open the door and broke in. Search carefully!"

Dark clouds gathered, and rumbling thunder rolled among the thick clouds, followed by pouring downpours of rain.The group searched for a while, and finally found the entrance to the secret room.When I went in, I saw that the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, the secret passage was wide open, and people had already disappeared without a trace.Bai Liqi repented: "The subordinates were careless! Looking at the scene, they left in a hurry, but they have to send someone to chase..."

Xue Yao sighed: "No need, the rain is fierce, and any traces have been washed away. Search the house carefully to see if there are any clues."

Bai Liqi walked up to the wall with a torch, and asked doubtfully, "General, look, this is the only piece of the ground that has no dust. This shape...does it look like a coffin was once placed?" He stretched out his hand to touch some of the cases, and found an uneven pattern under the table, so he quickly took out a pen and paper and rubbed it down.

The lines drawn on the paper were crooked and twisted, looking like a totem.Everyone looked around for a while, but no one recognized it, so they had to give up for the time being.

Xue Yao walked into the courtyard, saw the rain beating the remnants of the lotus, and thought of the scene in his own lotus pond yesterday, his ears felt a little hot.

A servant ran over from the outside: "General, follow the letter from the palace, asking you to pick up your wife as soon as possible."

Chuyue arrived at the gate of Prince Shun's Mansion, but was turned away.Qin Yixiao stopped her: "The prince said that he doesn't want to see you."

Chuyue didn't dare to force her way, and said nervously, "Yesterday...what did I do to Xingchen?"

"Don't worry, you didn't do anything, nothing happened yesterday." Qin Yixiao shook his head.Nothing really happened yesterday, the landslides and ground cracks were all in the prince's heart.

"Then why doesn't he want to see me?" Chuyue's hanging heart was relieved, but she was even more puzzled.

Qin Yixiao couldn't answer.The lord only asked him to come out to stop people, saying to play by ear, but he couldn't make up any excuses at this moment. "Anyway, the prince just doesn't want to see you, the princess, please go back and let him be alone."

Chuyue couldn't figure out why he was so angry, so she simply sat down in front of the Shun Palace.After all, she was nailed here, but she didn't believe that Xingchen could really bear to leave her alone.

The dark clouds above the head gathered more and more, and the big raindrops crackled down, splashing the corners of her clothes.Chuyue looked back, and the door was closed behind her.She stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no sign of anyone after knocking for a long time.She panicked: Is Xingchen really determined not to see her?
