I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 118 Women will only affect the speed at which he draws his sword!

Wasn’t it already made clear before?

Why do you still call her wife...

Did he just say that for fun?

Forget it. After I cure his poison, there will be no chance for him to hear it anymore.

You know what, when he called her "wife", his voice was particularly attractive. After all, she was a voice control freak.

I like listening to radio dramas and audio novels, especially those with very attractive male voices!

As for money, she knows that you are the prince and you are not short of money, but she prefers money earned through her own hard work.

Holding that kind of money in your hands is particularly meaningful.

"No, no, no, I can earn money on my own."

"By the way, I've been telling you about my perfume business, but it seems I haven't given you a jar of perfume I made myself yet!"

As Xin Youran spoke, she took out a box of ointment from her sleeve and handed it to Mu Yuan.

"This one smells like gardenia. Now is the blooming season for gardenias. When the jasmine blooms in a while, I'll make a jasmine-scented ointment."

"I can give you another can then."

I wonder if he, who grew up in luxury, would be interested in this kind of ointment...

"If you don't like it..."

Xin Youran couldn't see any expression on his face. If he didn't like her ointment, he should just return it to her. After all, one jar could be sold for a lot of silver!

But just as she was about to retract her hand, the ointment was taken over by Mu Yuan.

"I like."

"Oh, as long as you like it."

When he took the ointment from her hand, he accidentally touched her palm. She quickly retracted her hand, feeling inexplicably strange in her heart.

"Well, then I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."

When Ji Xue sent Xin Youran back to Yuemanlou and reported the situation to Mu Yuan, he found that he was still holding the bottle of ointment.

Is this because you love the house and the dog so much that you can't let it go?

"Your Highness, I have already sent the person to Yue Man Tower, but there is one thing I still need to report to you after much consideration."

"Ah."

"Prince Ning also stayed at the Yuemanlou Inn last night."

"It seems to be right next to Leng Yue..."

Sixth child?

What's he up to again?

"Don't bother."

He seemed to be too close to Xin Youran, but she always dressed as a man, and Lao Liu definitely couldn't recognize that she was a woman.

Unless he has some special quirk...

I haven't heard the third brother mention it.

There is no news from the Dali Temple yet. With Lao Liu's quick temper, can he remain calm this time?

*

It was already past midnight, in the morgue of the Dali Temple.

The coroner had already completed the autopsy on Yuzhanxian's body, and the autopsy form had been filled out and was now in Xiahou Rui's hands.

He died of poisoning. Did he poison himself?

"What did Yuzhanxian do on the day of the incident? Who did she meet? Did she behave in any unusual way?"

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple, who had been following Xia Hourui, replied, "Your Highness, Prince Ning, according to the madam of Luoxian Courtyard, Yuzhanxian has never left her room. Even her meals are brought to her room by her maids."

"She has always been like this, and there is nothing unusual about her behavior..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yuan came over and continued his topic, saying, "She did go out secretly."

"I just left quietly through the window, and it happened more than once. Every time I went out, I would prepare in advance and step carefully."

"That day she first went to Heqingxiang Tailor Shop to pick up the clothes she had ordered."

"I went to Chaxiangzhai and bought two boxes of red date cakes."

"After that, I went to Ningxiang Pavilion and bought some rouge and powder, and then returned to Luoxianyuan."

"Never came out again."

The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple blushed when he heard Mu Yuan describe in such detail the whereabouts of Yuzhanxian on the day of her death.

He quickly saluted and said, "I will forgive your crime. I hope Your Highness will punish me!"

"What crime has Qin Shaoqing committed? Who would have thought a prostitute could act so cautiously?"

"The best thing to do now is to find out who poisoned her as soon as possible."

Xia Hou Rui was excited when he saw Mu Yuan suddenly appear, as if he was thinking of his idol, "Second brother, thank you for coming here in person!"

"Second brother is amazing. He knows everything so well."

Seeing that Mu Yuan was still unfazed by his "flattery", he chuckled twice and got down to business.

"What we can confirm now is that the Jade Hairpin Immortal was poisoned. Can we find the source of the poison?"

"Qin Shaoqing, the most urgent task is to quickly find out who she was in contact with that day. Her maid is a strong suspect. Also, who received her at the Heqingxiang Tailor Shop, the Chaxiangzhai Pastry Shop, and the Ningxiangguan Incense Shop? Did she have any unusual reactions? The chef at Luoxianyuan is also a suspect."

"Ask as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ning, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I will do it right away."

Qin Shaoqing said this and walked out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiahou Rui couldn't help but dry heave a few times, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and covered his face with a fan.

Yuzhixian's body has been here for two or three days. The smell is really deadly!

"Second brother, this Jade Hairpin Fairy is also an expert at poisoning. Could she be committing suicide?"

"How could a prostitute like her have the guts to try to murder you?"

"At least you're not too stupid and hit the point."

"Yuzhixian is from [Luoyu], and she also has a mission."

When Xia Hou Rui heard the word "Falling Rain", his expression suddenly changed. "I said that the existence of this "Falling Rain" is a disaster!"

"What does Father think? Do these organizations in the martial arts world have the right to do whatever they want?"

"What did I say? It's going to cause trouble sooner or later!"

"They've already dared to target the Crown Prince. What about next time? Will Father be in danger too?"

Seeing how indignant he was, Mu Yuan wondered what he would think if he knew that his new friend was actually the top assassin of [Luo Yu].

"Sixth Brother, be careful with your words."

Xiahou Rui pursed his lips, knowing that he had spoken nonsense, but he still felt dissatisfied with [Luo Yu] in his heart.

"understood."

"Second brother, why are you staring at the corpse?"

"Second brother?"

Mu Yuan was silent for a long time before he said, "The person who poisoned her must be someone she trusts."

"She is a master of poison, and her sensitivity to poison must be different from that of ordinary people."

"It can make her poisoned without knowing it..."

"Check if she has a lover."

Xiahou Rui suddenly realized. He had always thought that Yuzhanxian only had one lover a month, and she did not die on that day, so he did not think about it in this way.

"Okay, second brother, I'll check it out right away."

"Wait, I heard you're staying at the Yuemanlou Inn?"

Xia Hou Rui smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, second brother. It's because my grandfather always sends people to monitor me, which is annoying. That's why I'm hiding there. You are not allowed to tell anyone else."

Marquis Dingguo really loves his grandson very much.

"Isn't that the only reason?"

"I'm afraid it's that girl who has got you hooked?"

"You'd better tone it down."

Xia Hou Rui: ...

What nonsense! Women will only slow down his sword-drawing speed!
