I brought down Bai Yueguang by selling miserably

Chapter 8

He didn't want to answer the answer that a dying person didn't want to hear, and he didn't know why he didn't smile that much

The wooden door shook at a small distance, making a creaking sound.Bai Chuqing rushed to the bed in a hurry, stepped forward to check Qing He's condition.

Qinghe has long since lost her breath. The strangle mark on her neck is thin but deep. In addition to that, she received a palm on her chest, and there is a fracture mark on her left wrist. Slowly strangled.

Bai Chuqing sat on the edge of the bed in a daze until Qi Jue came to him quietly.

"Qing He is dead." Bai Chuqing looked at Qi Jue: "He killed him."

"She once told me that she would never leave the mansion for the rest of her life, but now it seems that I forced her to leave the mansion and caused her death." Bai Chuqing said sadly: "Does this mean that I gave her hope and made her despair. "

"It's not your fault." Qi Jue comforted in a gentle voice, and surveyed the situation around the scene: "Last night, an assassin entered the Su residence. I wounded him, but unfortunately lost him later. Qinghe's death must be related to the situation." He's related."

"She is just a little maid, and she has no grievances with anyone else. How could an assassin go to great lengths to kill her?" Bai Chuqing frowned, still entangled in the cause of her death, and said suddenly: "I understand .”

"What?" Qi Jue looked up at him blankly.

"Qinghe promised at the beginning that she would be cautious in her words and deeds, and never say anything that should not be said, and said that she would never be able to leave Su's house for the rest of her life." Bai Chuqing thought that she had discovered the truth: "She must have known some secrets. Killed and silenced."

"But Su Mingyu clearly promised to let her go." Bai Chuqing's eyes were red, and she said convincingly: "I just hate that they don't let go, why do they stand up again."

Unprepared, Su Mingyu pushed the door open and entered, swallowing all of Bai Chuqing's unfinished words, and deathly silence filled the entire room.

Su Mingyu was silent, and walked towards the bed step by step, the sun brushed his shoulders and hair, his eyes fell on Qing He's left hand, he gently opened her fingers, and a piece of round jade pendant fell on the between cotton wool.

Bai Chuqing once picked up the jade pendant, this jade pendant was of high quality, only about the size of a thumb, with the word "Feng Qi" engraved stroke by stroke on it.

Su Mingyu's expression was a little unbearable, as if he became sad belatedly.But this sympathy only stayed for a moment, and he didn't know who it was for.

Bai Chuqing: "Is there a maid named Feng Qi in Brother Su's house?"

"No." The emotion in Su Mingyu's eyes was as deep as a dry well that has been dry for many years, and he replied without hesitation: "This person has an accident in my house, and I should be responsible anyway. It's just a maid, Brother Bai What are you waiting for?"

It was the first time Qi Jue saw such an aggressive Su Mingyu, as if he was going to tear up the disguise that he couldn't hold on to anymore.

Su Mingyu stretched out his hand to Bai Chuqing, who was scalded by Su Mingyu's strong and oppressive gaze, and involuntarily handed the jade pendant into his hand.

Su Mingyu got up and walked out, until the door was blocked by a long sword.

"Qing He got back the deed of selling herself yesterday, so she is no longer a maid in Brother Su's house." Qi Jue stopped Su Mingyu with his horizontal sword.Bai Yuanjian was not out of its sheath, its sharp edge was restrained, but it carried an indescribably chilling aura.

"The flesh and blood in the crevices of Qinghe's fingertips looks like it was left after scratching the murderer, and that person must have scars on his body." Qi Jue said the words of discussion, but his tone did not allow the slightest room for maneuver: "Brother Su Can you call all the maids in the mansion for me?"

Su Mingyu smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "What if I say no." He looked at Qi Jue, his right fingertips moved slightly, and an invisible organ thread slipped out from his sleeve.

"Then only..."

"Master, you don't have to protect me." A slightly hoarse female voice came from the bottom of the steps. The man had a pair of bright and passionate eyes, but at this moment, his eyes were already full of tears: "People are killed by slaves. I have been in fear since I went back to the room last night." , I think I can't drag the young master down."

Feng Qi raised her eyes and looked at Qi Jue pleadingly: "This servant has something to say to the young master alone before the punishment."

Qi Jue had no intention of watching the woman cry, put down his sword and moved aside, signaling Bai Chuqing to leave the room with him.

The gate covered a large area of ​​light, Su Mingyu returned the jade pendant to Feng Qi, and after a long silence, he sighed softly: "You left it on purpose."

"My time is running out." Feng Qi said sadly.

"So you ended your already short life early for me?" Su Mingyu frowned and looked at Feng Qi, with pain in his eyes, he smiled angrily, "You...you really have your own ideas."

Feng Qi bowed her head and remained silent.

Su Mingyu closed his eyes and opened them again, and said in a clear voice: "I ordered you to do it. You have never killed anyone, so you are full of loopholes. Before you leave, you left behind your jade pendant."

Feng Qi shook her head stubbornly: "I've already thought about the reason. If they ask, young master, you can just say that I'm jealous that Qing He can meet Bai Chuqing and help her redeem her body, but I can't. That's why I feel bad."

"Why are you so stubborn to die? In your eyes, don't I even have the courage to admit that I killed Qinghe?" Su Mingyu sneered with a hidden anger in his eyes: "You were satisfied and died early, but what about me?"

"Have you ever thought about it, in fact, I really want to let Qing He go." Su Mingyu didn't intend to reveal his sincerity, but there seemed to be an unknown fire in his heart, which was getting stronger and stronger: "I don't want to kill her, it's you, it's you, it's her." Step by step, you use your self-righteous thoughts to send me to a high platform full of corpses and bones, so what can I do."

"I don't have blood on my hands, but none of you are clean."

Feng Qi was stunned in place with a pale face, and murmured for a while: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She looked at Su Mingyu's back, and gently held him with her hand, her voice hoarse: "Don't, Don't... ignore me..."

Feng Qi suddenly let go of Su Mingyu's hand, and fell down completely exhausted.

Su Mingyu noticed the movement behind him, put aside his sullen heart for a while, and carefully helped her up.Blood was dripping from the corner of Feng Qi's mouth, and he said with slack eyes: "I thought you were haunted by nightmares every night, very suspicious, and hated to leave behind hidden culprits. I am already dying, and I can help you get rid of some before I die, so that you can get rid of it. You will be content with peace of mind.”

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect... I guessed wrong."

Su Mingyu stretched out his hand to feel Feng Qi's pulse, only to find that she had already taken Duanchang powder in order to make it easier for him to explain to Bai Chuqing and the others.

Su Mingyu clenched his hands unconsciously, and his fingertips almost drew blood on his palms. After some time, he said in a hoarse voice, "You guessed right."

"What I just said was angry." Su Mingyu gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

A rare smile appeared on Feng Qi's face, but tears fell down like a broken thread for some reason: "Really?"

Su Mingyu hugged her gently, with unprecedented warmth in his eyes: "I just don't want you to die for me."

Feng Qi was very happy when she heard this, and she murmured as if she had come back to life: "I remember that you used to like to tease me very much, and the smile on your face was still very bright at that time." Feng Qi said softly: "I really want to know Did you like me? You should have liked me? Because since then, I have never seen you with such a beautiful smile. "

Su Mingyu thought and thought until the person in his arms was out of breath and didn't know how to answer.He didn't want to answer the answer that a dying person didn't want to hear, and he didn't know why he didn't smile that much.

The door was pulled open, and Su Mingyu came out alone.

Bai Chuqing looked at Su Mingyu hesitantly: "Miss Feng Qi?"

There was a tired smile on the corner of Su Mingyu's mouth, but his tone was very brisk, almost inaudible, and he said: "It's dead, I committed suicide in fear of crime."
