Chapter 112 Guarding her

  Xie Xingyun thought deeply for two seconds, and finally turned his back and picked up the sword.

   "Don't read it."

  Bai Jingyuan was a little surprised, didn't he come to the mansion with him just to see Xiao Yu'er?

  Now he invited him to go with him, but Xie Xingyun actually refused.

  Just when Bai Jingyuan was about to leave, he saw Xie Xingyun in front of him pause his pace slightly, took out a bag from his arms, turned sideways and said, "She's afraid of suffering, so give it to her."

  Bai Jingyuan took a look, and there was a sweet smell of sugar.

   "...Caramel?"

"Um."

  Bai Jingyuan shook it in his hand, there is still some distance from the street.

  Xie Xingyun stayed here for at least two hours, but it was still warm.

  He raised his head and took a deep look at the boy. Judging from the position he took out just now, did he keep it warm in his heart?

   "I will tell Xiao Yuer that this was sent by you." Bai Jingyuan said: "You saved Xiao Yuer, that is a kindness to the few of us, and she should be grateful to you."

  Xie Xingyun twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, and laughed at himself, "Grateful?"

  Bai Jingyuan frowned.

  Amidst the rustling wind, a few dead leaves fell on the young man's shoulders.

  It was obviously a festive red robe, but it made him wear a unique coldness and aloofness.

   "Don't be grateful, this is what I owe her."

   It was he who failed her in the last life, so he will guard her well in this life.

   Guarding her safety, guarding... her marriage.

  Maybe she will have a child in the future, if she is willing to forgive him, he may be able to...recognize her child as a adopted son or adopted daughter.

   Then he might still be able to deceive himself into thinking that she and he also have a family.

   But this has become a luxury.

  Xie Xingyun's eyes were dark and dead silent.

  She doesn't want to see him.

   Then, when she is willing to see him, he will show up again.

  …

  At night, Luzhu hurriedly pushed the door and came in.

  Bai Xianyu was drinking the medicine, chewing caramel, the sweetness permeated the bitterness of the anti-cold medicine, leaving only a sweet and greasy taste.

   "Miss, this servant took people to the White Horse Station, but they didn't find your jade pendant."

  Bai Xianyu coughed twice, suddenly felt that the candy in his mouth was tasteless, "Have you searched inside and out?"

   "I have searched carefully, but I haven't found the place where you fell into the water you said. The officials and guards there are surrounded by water, and the servants have no way to go in and look for it."

  Bai Xianyu frowned slightly, thinking of what his brother told her when he brought sugar over just now, because she was assassinated around Qionglin Garden, Emperor Wu Xuan was furious and wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, so he sealed off all the way along the river.

   "Miss, do you want to continue looking?"

"Look for it." Bai Xianyu didn't hesitate. Her mother didn't leave her many things, and if she could keep one thing, she said, "We'll go there again tomorrow. It just so happens that the emperor ordered me to cooperate with the investigation, maybe They'll salvage it."

  Lu Zhu answered, "Yes."

  …

   On the second day, Bai Xianyu held Mrs. Tang in her arms, and lifted the curtain of the car to look at the crowded street.

  Not far ahead is the Lishui River, which is the river that runs through the entire Kyoto.

   Qionglin Garden is built by mountains and rivers, relying on Lishui River.

   "Miss, we are here."

"Um."

   The two got out of the car, and at a glance, they were all guards in yellow armor.

Bai Xianyu couldn't help thinking that she was so furious when she was assassinated outside the garden by Emperor Wu Xuan, not only dismissed the commander of the imperial guards, exiled her whole family, but also ordered the imperial guards who only obeyed his orders to be sent to guard in person. , ordered Dali Temple Minister to investigate the case, and the truth is about to come to light.

   This was not only because the assassin was bold enough to assassinate under his nose, but also because she was the youngest daughter of General Zhen Guo's mansion.

  Whoever tells the news, won't say that the emperor is interested in the Bai family.

She and her elder brothers were once bewildered by such smoke. In fact, being with the king is like a tiger, and the king's kindness is unpredictable. She still doesn't know what happened in the 25th year of Qianyuan, so that Emperor Wu Xuan ruthlessly... Heartbroken killer.

  Bai Xianyu took the jade card from the General's Mansion and arrived at the crime scene without hindrance.

  But she saw a familiar figure from behind at a glance.

  He tilted his head slightly to look at the water surface, half of his face was well-defined, and under the high bridge of his nose was reflected a deep shadow by the rising sun.

  Beside him stood a man in a court uniform with gray temples.

   The two chatted a few words from time to time.

  Bai Xianyu thought that this person should be Dali Temple Minister Li Yu, as she approached, Xie Xingyun seemed to have noticed the footsteps, so he glanced sideways.

  She felt his gaze rest on her for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

   "My daughter has met Master Li."

Li Yu turned around and knew who it was by looking at Bai Xianyu's face. After all, there are not many people who can walk in so directly. He said with a smile: "Miss Bai, you are welcome. Back then, the old man was a colleague of your father. , if you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle Li.”

  Bai Xianyu did not refuse, "Uncle Li."

   "Okay, okay." Li Yu then glanced at Xie Xingyun, and introduced: "This is Xie Xingyun, the son of Xie Gan, Marquis of Zhenbei. He was awarded a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy not long ago. He was the one who saved you yesterday."

  Bai Xianyu raised his head, his eyelids slightly closed, "I have met Mr. Xie, thank you for saving my life."

"Um."

  When Bai Xianyu saw Xie Xingyun just now, he was worried that Dali Siqing would see something. Now seeing his calm look, although he was a little surprised, he was happy to see the result.

  Li Yu waited for the two to say hello before saying: "I was going to find a time to go to your house, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself, which saved me some time."

   Bai Xianyu smiled and answered Li Yu with some questions.

   Xie Xingyun took the initiative to step aside during the conversation between the two, folded his arms, put his slender fingers on his elbows, and leaned against the big red pavilion behind him.

   After Li Yu asked about the situation that day, she frowned in thought.

  Then said: "I see. Let the old man think about what the niece said. If there is any progress, the old man will also order someone to notify you."

  Bai Xianyu hummed, and then explained the purpose of his visit, "I wonder if you plan to salvage things in this river, Uncle Li?"

  Li Yu said: "I sent people to salvage yesterday, but nothing useful was found."

  Bai Xianyu asked: "Have you ever seen a jade pendant, a warm jade with a phoenix pattern, which I accidentally lost when I fell into the water yesterday."

   "Never." Li Yu said: "Although many things were salvaged, the old man checked them one by one yesterday. If there is the jade pendant you mentioned, I should have an impression."

  Bai Xianyu couldn't hide his disappointment on his face.

  Xie Xingyun glanced at her profile, then turned to look at the calm water.

   "But maybe the old man is blind, you can go over there and have a look." Li Yu pointed to a place, "All the salvaged things are there."

  Bai Xianyu nodded.

   "Although those things are messy, they are also one of the physical evidence. There are special guards, so how about it..." Li Yu glanced at the silent man, and said with a smile: "Let the young master take you there."
