Chapter 163 The Assassin is from Xinjiang
While speaking, she did not forget to use her small hands to clumsily brush away the loose hair on Shen Muxi's temples.
Shen Muxi's heart was about to melt.
"Is Xiaoxiao hurt?"
Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head, then nodded, and showed Shen Muxi the place where the bandage was on her arm.
"Xiaoxiao just had a little scrape on her skin, it doesn't hurt."
"That's good."
Shen Muxi gave a relieved smile.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao looking at her eagerly, she moved her body with difficulty to make some space for Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao lay down on the edge of the bed, her big black and white eyes staring at Shen Muxi motionlessly.
"Mother..."
Shen Muxi forced a weak smile at her, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
Maybe it’s because Gu Xiaoxiao is her only blood relative in this world.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao was by her side, and she felt particularly at ease.
"Are you tired, Xiaoxiao? Do you want to sleep with mother?"
As she spoke, she made more space for Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao obediently took off her shoes and got on the bed, nestling quietly in Shen Muxi's arms.
Smelling the strong smell of medicine on Shen Muxi, her little face was full of worries.
Seeing this, Shen Muxi smiled and asked, "Why, you were chattering just now, but now you have nothing to say?"
"no..."
Gu Xiaoxiao sat up again and looked down at Shen Muxi seriously.
"Mother..."
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell your mother directly." Shen Muxi wrinkled her nose at her daughter as she made various small movements and expressions in front of her. "Your little expression reveals your inner thoughts. Even if you don't say it, I know what you are thinking."
Gu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth in surprise, "How did Mother know that Xiaoxiao wanted Uncle Jing to be Xiaoxiao's real father?"
The little girl's eyes were clear and filled with shock, and Shen Muxi almost choked on his own saliva.
"Wha...what?"
Because of her excitement, her movements were too big and pulled the wound on her head. She gasped in pain.
Does this little girl know what she is talking about?
Gu Xiaoxiao tried frantically to steady Shen Muxi, but Shen Muxi stopped her from touching her head.
Unable to do anything, she could only look at her timidly, "Mother, is there something Xiaoxiao didn't say?"
Everything in front of his eyes went dark and dark, and Shen Muxi finally came to his senses.
"Who taught you to say these words?"
"No one taught Xiaoxiao."
Gu Xiaoxiao sat back on the bed, lowered her head to play with the white jade lapel hanging on her chest, and whispered, "Xiaoxiao feels that Uncle Jing is good to both mother and Xiaoxiao, better than the bad father."
"Mother doesn't know that after you fainted, it was Uncle Jing who carried you back.
At that time, Uncle Jing's hand was bleeding a lot. Xiaoxiao was crying and looked at Uncle Jing. Uncle Jing was also scared and about to cry...
Xiaoxiao felt that Uncle Jing cared about her mother.
In the past, when Mom was injured, Bad Daddy would ignore her, and Bad Grandmother would only scold Mom and Xiaoxiao for being useless. So, Xiaoxiao didn’t want Bad Daddy at all…”
Gu Xiaoxiao kept on chattering about the "crimes" of Gu Shi and Kang Shi.
Shen Muxi didn't hear a word she said. Her mind was full of Murong Jingyan carrying her back yesterday. Didn't many people around see it?
Her heart was pounding.
I just felt that my head, which was already aching, was now even more painful.
"That cruel man."
Thinking of Murong Jingyan's "dedication and hard work", and recalling his plan to accompany Murong Jingyan on the diplomatic mission to Beichen and resolve all his affairs in Beichen, and then take Gu Xiaoxiao away.
Shen Muxi suddenly had the illusion that he was not human...
Nonsence.
What are they all about?
It's a good thing that the partner is capable, but she can't fall behind.
"Mother doesn't like Uncle Jing?"
Gu Xiaoxiao's timid voice brought Shen Muxi back to his senses.
A child's expression cannot be deceiving.
It can be seen that Gu Xiaoxiao likes Murong Jingyan very much.
Shen Muxi patiently explained, "Many things in this world don't develop the way we want them to. For anything you want to gain benefits from others, you have to pay a corresponding price or give something of equal value.
Similarly, Uncle Jing helped us this time, so we should help Uncle Jing when we have the chance in the future. Furthermore, we can’t always trouble Uncle Jing.”
If you can't bother me, it means you don't like dealing with Uncle Jing.
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes slightly to hide the disappointment in her eyes, and answered obediently.
"Xiaoxiao knows."
...
the other side.
Murong Jingyan washed himself up hastily and finally agreed to let his trusted imperial physician change his medicine.
"Your Highness, the wound on your hand is so deep that you can see the bone. If you don't pay more attention, it will easily become infected again in the future. If it rains or blows, it will cause a serious illness."
The old doctor persuaded earnestly.
"I understand. Please leave."
Murong Jingyan dismissed the old doctor as if nothing had happened.
He Xuan, dressed in a tight suit, walked into the tent swiftly and respectfully handed Murong Jingyan a list.
"Your Highness, we've checked everything out, and all the suspicious people are here."
Murong Jingyan flipped through the list and closed the book again.
"The assassin's identity?"
He Xuan lowered his head and said, "I only know that those assassins have Huijiang totems on their arms. They must be Huijiang assassins."
"Huijiang death warriors?"
Murong Jingyan frowned slightly.
He Xuan added, "When we were investigating Su Kang, the clues were also cut off in Huijiang."
Su Kang...
"If we were to investigate Su Kang again, I'm afraid the target is still Beichen."
"I understand," Murong Jingyan ordered calmly, "promote the people on the list and reappoint them."
He Xuan spoke awkwardly, "There are several secret agents we have stationed in the County Lord's Mansion. If they are all mobilized at once, I'm afraid..."
Murong Jingyan's expression suddenly darkened. "All the stakes in the County Lord's Mansion have been removed. Also, He Yue failed to protect the Lord effectively. Go back and accept your punishment."
When He Xuan heard that He Yue was going to be punished, his face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Yes."
It wasn't long before He Xuan retreated.
He Hong is back.
"Your Highness."
This was originally He Hong's tent, but Murong Jingyan sat at the desk as steady as a rock.
After getting Murong Jingyan's approval, He Hongcai respectfully entered the tent and whispered something in Murong Jingyan's ear.
Murong Jingyan's expression suddenly changed.
"really?"
He Hong's face was solemn, "It's almost right."
Murong Jingyan didn't get angry but laughed instead.
"Good, it's really good."
I originally thought that he was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Unexpectedly, the oriole was someone else, and he became the mantis catching the cicada.
The spring hunt has not officially begun yet, but the evil spirits from all walks of life can no longer hold back.
The spring hunt lasts for seven days, and no one knows what complications may arise.
Murong Jingyan looked thoughtful, his fingertips twisting involuntarily.
After a while, he stood up and left the tent. "Go find He Xuan and make arrangements according to He Xuan's list."
