Capture the Jade - Chapter 92
Teng Yuyi rubbed her ears in astonishment, thinking that Lin Chengyou was going to question her like a prisoner, but who would have thought he would say such a thing.
Did he drink? It looks like he’s not too drunk.
After listening intently, Lin Chengyou smelled wine, but it was very light. He should have just had a few drinks during the banquet, and he was still far away from getting drunk.
That’s weird.
Oh yes, maybe she suspected her of doing bad things, and deliberately used these words to trick her.
I remember that in Caifenglou, that’s how he dealt with her. Don’t forget that he has been handling cases in Dali Temple all the year round, and he has long formed a set of thinking about catching criminals.
No, tonight she came to catch a thief, why should Lin Chengyou treat her as a thief?
“Who said I was going to tease people?” Teng Yuyi said confidently, “I am—no, no, let’s not talk about this first, the hundred flowers are tasteless and tasteless, can the prince smell this?”
Lin Chengyou thought to himself, isn’t it tricking people? That means someone was bullying her, and yes, although Teng Yuyi has a temper, but her heart is not bad at all.
“You don’t understand this.” He said, “Baihua Candid itself has no taste, but its antidote is different. It uses some pungent food, and the mixed taste is unique. After taking the medicine, even bathing and burning incense can’t hide the smell. I have also handled several cases of using hundreds of flowers to kill people, so why can’t I smell it. Next time you want to use these things, ask me first.”
next time? Is he trying to point her out? Teng Yuyi originally just felt that something was wrong with Lin Chengyou, but now she is full of doubts.
Lin Chengyou took out the Qingxin Pill from his arms: “Take this, this pill has a cool breath, and it can more or less suppress the smell on your body.”
Teng Yuyi looked at the medicine bottle in astonishment, then looked up at the person in front of her.
The pleasant Lin Chengyou, the reasonable Lin Chengyou, and the Lin Chengyou who took the initiative to help her sell the stolen goods.
This is not right, this is definitely not Lin Chengyou.
She subconsciously glanced at the Xuanyin bell on her wrist, but it didn’t ring, and when she probed into her sleeve, Xiaoya didn’t respond. She guessed wrong, the person in front of her was actually Lin Chengyou himself.
Her mind is a little confused, is he sick? Even if you want to trick her, you don’t need to do this. In the past, if he wanted to check her, he would always go straight in, wait, he seemed to like that purple jade saddle very much, and he even saw him put it on a horse on his way into the mountains today, yes, the person who received the gift always saves face Bo, as soon as she accepted such a generous gift, she turned around and exposed her shortcomings. Perhaps Lin Chengyou himself felt that he was not authentic enough.
Well, it makes sense to think about it this way.
Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and took the pill in doubt: “Does the prince really want to help?”
Of course, isn’t his attitude and tone not sincere enough?
He asked again: “Tell me, who is the person who provoked you.”
Teng Yuyi looked at Lin Chengyou carefully, Lin Chengyou smiled and smiled, but it didn’t look like he was trying to trick people, his eyes were even quite sincere, she barely suppressed the doubt in her chest, and looked behind him on tiptoe: “Okay, Shizi You said you wanted to help me, come with me, the thief is probably in Xiangluan Pavilion at the moment.”
***
According to Teng Yuyi’s original plan, after entering Xiangluan Pavilion, she had to find a hidden corner to hide. She had chosen the location in advance, in the plum tree opposite the east corridor, and after hiding, she would wait for that person to appear. ,
Lin Chengyou’s method was even simpler. When he arrived at the entrance of Xiangluan Pavilion, he directly called the gatekeeper to a dark corner and asked the palace servant if anyone had come back.
The palace servant was at a loss, looked at Lin Chengyou, and at the maidservant behind him, and repeatedly said no.
Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi looked at each other. There were a large number of guards guarding the back wall of Xiangluan Pavilion. Even if he had the skills, he didn’t dare to jump over the wall indiscriminately. It seemed that the man hadn’t come yet.
“Don’t let people know that we’re in, and dare to leak the slightest rumor, I’m the only one who asks you.”
“Never dare.” The palace people were so frightened that they swore to God.
The two of them swaggered into the Xiangluan Pavilion.
Teng Yuyi looked at Lin Chengyou’s slender back from behind. No matter what was wrong with Lin Chengyou tonight, it would be much easier to have him help than her alone.
In the plum forest at the back of the east corridor, Lin Chengyou looked up, picked out the tallest plum tree, took out the talisman, pierced the blood on his finger, and painted something under the tree.
Teng Yuyi bent over to look at the side, Lin Chengyou was setting up a barrier, as early as in Caifeng Tower, Lin Chengyou used this method to walk over the tree, so that even if the people on the tree made any movement, it would not be transmitted to the bottom. in human ears.
Not long after, Lin Chengyou clapped his hands and straightened up, pointed up at the top of the tree, and whispered to Teng Yuyi, “After practicing the light gong for these days, this tree will be no problem for you.”
Teng Yuyi raised her head to measure the height of the largest branch above the ground: “Almost.”
“Then I’ll go up first? I’ll pick you up at the top.”
“Hey.” Teng Yuyi nodded.
The figure flashed before him, Lin Chengyou slid up the top of the tree, Teng Yu didn’t want to be outdone, secretly full of inner strength, first retreated for a while, then like a calf, burying his head towards the tree, rushed over, stepping on one after another. He climbed up the trunk of the tree, lightly raised his body, and saw that he was about to catch the branch that he was aiming at, but when his hand slipped, he fell down.
Although Lin Chengyou was catting on the tree, he looked at Teng Yuyi below with a good look, and when he saw this, he hurriedly flew out the silver chain to tie Teng Yuyi’s waist, and slowly hung her up like a wooden barrel.
Teng Yuyi was a little embarrassed. He couldn’t move in mid-air, so he shrugged nonchalantly: “Usually a tree of this height is not a problem for me, but my hand slipped just now.”
Lin Chengyou slowly lifted her up, and recalled her many flawed moves.
What else can he say, he has to be patient with her.
boast.
“Yes.” He was full of praise, “You have a nimble posture, and you are also very savvy in the use of internal strength. You have only practiced for ten days, and you have already achieved a little. It shows that your talent is very good.”
Teng Yuyi was quite happy at first, but after hearing it, she felt that something was wrong. She glanced at him secretly, alas, what a smart person, he seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. Unfortunately, it is a pity that catching the thief is the most important thing. I will find out what Lin Chengyou is tonight when I look back. what happened.
Lin Chengyou placed Teng Yuyi firmly on the branch: “Sit firmly.”
Teng Yuyi adjusted the position holding the thick trunk, Lin Chengyou jumped to the branch on the other side and sat down, with the trunk between them only.
After waiting for a while, there was no one around. Lin Chengyou turned to look at Teng Yuyi. In the middle of the night, he actually ran up to the tree and catted with her.
“Patience” and “accommodation” have been implemented for two rounds, and Teng Yuyi still doesn’t seem to react.
It seems to have to move out of “care”.
Teng Yuyi glanced at the wing of the east corridor for a moment, and after waiting for a long time, no one was seen. Lin Chengyou thought about it, and suddenly understood: “Don’t tell me this thief wants to steal from you?”
The voices on the tree could not be passed down to the bottom, Teng Yuyi was silent, she could not trust others, but she could not trust Lin Chengyou.
If he wanted to harm her, he just had to stand by and watch when the demons came to harm her in the past few times.
Since he bumped into this scene tonight, maybe she could ask him to find out who was wrong in the manor that night.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and took the initiative to hand the cut silk sash hidden in his sleeve to Lin Chengyou: “On the night of the prince’s birthday, someone at the banquet cut off the silk sash on my skirt in secret.”
She told exactly what happened that night.
Lin Chengyou listened and listened, the smile on his face disappeared, he raised the silk sash in his hand, and looked at it carefully by the light in the distance. Small objects such as silver sachets and fan pendants are hung down, and no matter how heavy they are, there is no need to worry about breaking them.
Teng Yuyi was right, the silk sash was cut off on purpose.
Someone wants to hurt her.
His chest jumped a few times, no wonder she always had poison and tricky hidden weapons on her body, because she sensed danger? It’s a pity that he didn’t know the inside story at that time, and only thought that her heart was crooked.
His eyes trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Teng Yuyi with a serious tone: “How many times has that person hurt you?”
Teng Yuyi said cautiously: “Except for the man in black cloak that I saw in my dream, this person should be the first to attack me.”
Lin Chengyou thought with a sullen face, not to mention whether the man in the black cloak was a coincidence or an omen, did the person who stole the sachet really only shot this time?
Teng Yuyi didn’t come to Chang’an for a long time. In the past two months, she took refuge in Caifeng Tower and Dayin Temple. Naturally, there was no way to start in such a place.
Duanfu was not by her side at the female feast that night, so that person took the opportunity to attack, it can be seen that he had been waiting for the opportunity long ago.
“The palace is no different than other places. Once the deeds are revealed, it will cause the family to lose face in front of the emperor. This person has been able to endure for so long before, which shows that his temperament is still cautious. In my opinion, she may not appear tonight.” Lin Chengyou looked indifferent. In the east corridor in the distance, the brows are like a layer of frost.
Teng Yuyi looked around, it seemed like this, after a while, there should be female relatives coming back one after another. She was a little unwilling: “I prepared a bag of flowers for nothing. Xiangxiang Academy will start school in a few days, and there will be less scruples in the academy. The classmates live in the same place, and there will be more opportunities to start. I guess she I can’t help but take action.”
Lin Chengyou took the silk sash into his arms: “No hurry, leave this to me.”
As soon as Teng Yuyi turned his eyes back to the east corridor, he seemed stunned to hear the words.
Lin Chengyou glanced at her: “After all, this incident happened in our house. Besides, your business is mine.”
With that said, Teng Yuyi should know how much he cares about her.
Teng Yuyi was completely stunned.
Lin Chengyou’s ears were hot, and he cleared his throat to think, was Teng Yuyi moved, or – suddenly felt that something was wrong, and suddenly turned his head, only to see a monster silently appearing at the end of the east corridor.
That thing was naked, with all its limbs lying on the ground. It looked like a toad, but it was countless times bigger than a toad. It had a high neck and an old smiling face on its head.
In the blink of an eye, the thing quickly climbed from the end of the corridor to the steps.
Scale profile? Lin Chengyou was shocked, how could there be a ruler in this place, he threw a talisman at random, and the thing jumped with the trend and successfully avoided the blow.
“What kind of weird thing is that?” Teng Yuyi choked, and finally came to her senses, but her voice couldn’t stop shaking.
Before he finished speaking, the monster seemed to have found a figure on the tree, and when he turned his head, the strange face suddenly smiled at Teng Yuyi.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chengyou hurriedly pulled Teng Yuyi into his arms and hugged her, covered her ears, and hugged her down the top of the tree.
Teng Yuyi knew that the thing’s laughter must be weird, and in a hurry, she buried her head in Lin Chengyou’s arms and didn’t dare to move. As soon as her cheek was pressed against the fabric of his front, her heart skipped a bizarre beat.
When it was too late, Lin Chengyou seemed to throw another talisman, and the vibration of his voice transmitted to her eardrum when he spoke: “Teng Yuyi, I understand, you don’t call it bad luck, these things are clearly aimed at you. .”
