Qing Lingyi shuddered and added tremblingly: "But I'm not afraid of you."
Cheng Yang stared at her.
Qing Lingyi continued: "I'm afraid of them..."
As he spoke, he pointed carefully at the three assassins on the ground.
Cheng Yang suddenly smiled and wiped a drop of blood from her face with his fingertips, his movements could be described as gentle.
"They're dead as hell," he said with a laugh.
After saying that, he let go of her and took away the long sword in her hand.
Qing Lingyi lost what she was relying on and almost fell to the ground.
Cheng Yang had no reaction to this and walked away without looking away, going to get a cloth to wipe the blood off the sword.
At this time, Wu Liang rushed in with people.
They methodically inspected the assassin's body, confirmed his identity, and cleaned up the blood and traces.
Qing Lingyi slowly relieved her tension, stepped back to the edge of the bed, and sat down.
As she watched the room gradually return to its original state, as if nothing had happened, she suddenly realized something——
Wu Liang came in just now and was not surprised to see Cheng Yang cleaning his sword there.
This means that Cheng Yang may have woken up long ago, and Wu Liang knew it.
But thinking about it carefully, Qing Lingyi can also understand that she has only been here for a long time, so of course they don't trust her. Unless they have no choice but to do something important, they can't let her have access to it.
"Move to the side."
Cheng Yang said.
Qing Lingyi raised her eyes and saw that he had finished cleaning his sword and approached the bed with an indifferent expression.
She didn't react immediately: "What?"
Cheng Yang didn't bother to say it a second time, so he stretched out his hand toward her lower back.
The posture and movements were somewhat ambiguous. Qing Lingyi's face turned red and she stretched out her hand to push him: "Don't..."
Cheng Yang glanced at her, picked up the scabbard on his pillow, and stepped back.
Qing Lingyi:?
Cheng Yang sheathed his sword and made a "ding" sound.
He looked at him again: "What else?"
Qing Lingyi: "..."
Qing Lingyi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't get scratched by the sword."
Cheng Yang laughed.
In fact, he knew that she had misunderstood, and he did it on purpose.
Quite interesting.
It was okay if he didn't laugh, but Qing Lingyi Jian was extremely embarrassed if he laughed like this.
In order to change the subject, she racked her brains and tried her best to say: "You...when you wake up, go and say hello to your mother, so that she can be happy too."
Cheng Yang was very clear: "No."
Qing Lingyi doesn't understand.
Cheng Yangduo explained: "I will continue to be in a coma."
Qing Lingyi suddenly realized: "You can't let many people know about your waking up, right?"
Cheng Yang glanced at her and said "hmm".
Qing Lingyi pursed her lips and came up with a compromise: "Then I'll say it secretly later when I go to pay my respects to my mother."
Cheng Yang was stunned and his heart skipped an inexplicable beat.
Talk secretly or something...
He frowned, she was kind of cute.
"No, ma'am."
Wu Liang stepped forward at this time.
Cheng Yang glanced at him.
Wu Liang gave him a "General, I'll come" look and explained to Qing Lingyi: "Even if the general wakes up, he still has to pretend to be unconscious. We are here to lure the snake out of the hole. The old lady was impatient and told her, Then I definitely can’t hide it.”
Qing Lingyi nodded: "That's it."
Wu Liang gave Cheng Yang another "How about it, I'm pretty good" look.
Cheng Yang said nothing and weighed the sword in his hand.
"Then I won't tell my mother," Qing Lingyi stood up from the bed, "but I still want to see her."
I don’t know why, but I always feel uneasy.
She looked at Cheng Yang.
Cheng Yang nodded: "Okay."
Qing Lingyi wiped off all the blood on her face first, looked in the mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong, then walked out and led Bi Wei up to Jingchen Pavilion.
Biwei asked quietly on the road: "Madam, what happened inside just now?"
Qing Lingyi also quietly replied: "There were assassins, but they were all dealt with."
Biwei was not very surprised.
She has been following Qing Lingyi since he was three years old. She has never seen any assassins around General Qing or encountered any scenes.
When arriving at Jingchenxuan, Qing Lingyi found that Aunt Zhao was also there.
Holding the medicine bowl, she stood respectfully aside and was trying to persuade: "Old lady, I also want to do the best for our general's mansion. Housekeeping is not an easy task. Naturally, I will do wrong things. I already know that I am wrong. You It’s okay to be angry with me, but you still have to drink this medicine.”
Old Mrs. Xue sat on the bed, looking very impatient.
When he saw Qing Lingyi for the first time, his expression softened: "Lingyi, come here."
Qing Lingyi stepped forward and smelled the smell of medicine when she approached Aunt Zhao.
It was different from the smell she fed to Mrs. Xue that day, which was very strange.
She was confused and looked at Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao looked back with a smile that didn't look sincere and a bit sinister.
Qing Lingyi looked away, pretending that nothing happened, and continued walking forward.
But when passing by Aunt Zhao, she deliberately turned her body sideways, and her shoulder "accidentally" bumped into Aunt Zhao's elbow.
The medicine bowl tilted sideways, and the soup splashed onto the back of Aunt Zhao's hand. It was so hot that she let out an "ouch" and couldn't hold it. The bowl fell to the ground, and the medicine spilled all over the floor.
"How do you see the road!" Aunt Zhao was furious.
After reprimanding her, she suddenly thought that this Qing Lingyi was very sharp-tongued and she had not been able to punish her several times.
This time she actually made a mistake herself, in front of the old lady, let’s see how she can hide from it!
Aunt Zhao sneered in her heart and was about to speak when Qing Lingyi spoke first: "I accidentally knocked over my mother's medicine today. I hope my mother will forgive me."
With that said, he saluted Mrs. Xue and completely ignored Aunt Zhao.
Mrs. Xue said indifferently: "Just fry another bowl, it's no big deal."
Qing Lingyi followed suit and said, "Then I'll make some medicine for my mother."
After saying that, he bowed and left Jingchen Pavilion again.
Aunt Zhao almost broke her teeth where she was.
Qing Lingyi and Bi Wei went to cook the medicine together. Both the master and the servant watched the whole process. After cooking, Qing Lingyi carefully confirmed that there was no problem before taking it to Jingchen Pavilion and serving Mrs. Xue to drink it.
Served with plum preserves, Mrs. Xue no longer had a hard time drinking.
She patted the back of Qing Lingyi's hand and said warmly: "Thank you for your carefulness. With these candied fruits, I am not afraid of taking medicine anymore."
Qing Lingyi smiled obediently: "This is what I should do."
The two chatted some more about Guining. Seeing the sky getting dark, Qing Lingyi stood up and left.
Although Aunt Zhao couldn't get in the conversation, she stayed by the side until this moment.
Qing Lingyi walked out of Jingchen Pavilion, and Aunt Zhao followed.
Qing Lingyi pretended that she was not here and went her own way.
"Oh," Aunt Zhao said angrily: "The general's wife is really very arrogant. She is looking down on me."
Qing Lingyi didn't look back: "How can I still look down on you when I walk well? Aunt Zhao, your mind is too fragile."
Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "Don't think I don't know. You bumped into me on purpose just now to show off yourself in front of the old lady. This method is much more visible to me."
Qing Lingyi's steps suddenly stopped, and she frowned and looked at Aunt Zhao: "Don't you know the real reason why I bumped into you just now?"
Aunt Zhao's face changed slightly.
"Stop playing those little tricks. It's boring, and no one wants to play with you." After Qing Lingyi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
This time, Aunt Zhao did not follow her.
She stopped where she was, staring at the back that was getting further away in the night, her eyes becoming more and more vicious.
Now that she has discovered it, she can no longer keep her life!
