Chapter 82 Trapped in the Fire
It was obviously the same tone as usual, but after hearing this, Jing Yu couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead.
He never expected that this agarwood would have no effect on Xu Ruyi!
This is probably because Jing Yu doesn't understand Xu Ruyi's city at all, and he doesn't understand that the woman in front of him is definitely not a kind person. She can take advantage of the situation to kill people quietly without being blamed, and she can also pull out someone to take the blame for her.
gun.
In the years that she has been with Empress Dowager Jiang, what kind of bloodshed has Xu Ruyi not seen?
She was really tired of all this and just wanted to raise a pure puppy, which might allow her to feel another side of the world.
The irony is that even a puppy can plot against her!
It's a pity that his tricks were too clumsy. This fool never thought about why Queen Mother Jiang didn't smell his agarwood at all at that time? How could Xu Ruyi, who had been taught by Queen Mother Jiang for a long time by words and deeds, not understand this truth?
When she tasted his agarwood, she simply trusted him too much.
Once this kind of trust is backfired, either Jing Yu or Xu Ruyi himself will be hurt.
Xu Ruyi was thinking about this problem as she walked towards Jing Yu. The closer she got to him, the more clearly she could see the sweat on his forehead.
Sure enough, before she could figure out how to deal with Jing Yu, Jing Yu was already confused and explained eagerly: "Princess, please listen to my explanation..."
"I once told you that you must speak clearly between husband and wife. Whether you say it or not is your business, and whether you believe it or not is my business. But now, I think I have changed my mind and I am too lazy to believe it."
Xu Ruyi only lost her temper with Jing Yu once, and that was because Jing Yu didn't trust her. No matter how she explained that she didn't have feelings for Lin Chengqing, he refused to believe it.
At that time, she thought that as time went by, he would see how good she was to him and would gradually believe in herself, but now the nature of the matter had changed - she didn't know how she should believe him!
"My dear husband, actually I know that you don't like me, and I also know that you have always wanted to run away. I thought that as time goes by, we will go through the running-in period like ordinary couples, and we will have a tacit understanding. I also thought about giving myself a chance.
, entrust yourself to a trustworthy person. I even know very well that I am buying and selling by force, but what annoys me is - you have ten thousand unwillingnesses in your heart, but you have never dealt with me seriously.
Last time we talked about it, if you insist on leaving here, I can set up a car for you, and I can take you out of Beijing. You don’t have to vow not to climb over the wall again while privately escaping over the wall, and there is no need for you to poison me.
!”
When Jing Yu heard this, he didn't know how to explain it to her so that she would believe him.
He could only hesitate and say: "Princess, I didn't want to run away..."
This was true. He just wanted to tell that person tonight that he didn't plan to leave.
but……
How did it all turn out like this?!
When Xu Ruyi heard what he said, her expression was very cold. She suddenly realized that what Coal said was right.
She didn't know why she had such a personality - she couldn't cry or laugh, and she could still be so calm even after being betrayed like this.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything extraordinary to you. Isn't the carriage ready? You can leave now. I will tell the eldest lady that you are missing tomorrow, and then go to the Criminal Department to find someone who is about your age.
A prisoner on death row was used as a substitute. It’s such a simple thing, just tell me directly, why bother making it so complicated?”
Yes……
It took Sledgehammer a full month to find a substitute privately and cost several thousand taels of silver, but Xu Ruyi only needed one day to do it all.
However, Jing Yu didn't know why. He had hoped that Xu Ruyi would let him go in a reasonable manner, but when she was really willing to let him go, Jing Yu felt his heart twisting.
"Princess, would you believe me if I said that I really didn't plan to escape tonight?"
When he said this, Jing Yu himself felt pale and weak.
What does he want Xu Ruyi to write now?
With Xu Ruyi's crazy character, it was her greatest mercy not to chop him up on the spot.
Although his explanation was very pale, he still wanted to make it clear at the end——
"Princess, someone did ask me to come out to meet him tonight. I did meet him, but just now, he wanted to kill me with a knife..."
This reason was quite reasonable, which made Xu Ruyi quite curious: "You continue, using the reason that someone wants to assassinate us recently!"
Jing Yu emphasized loudly: "I didn't lie! His dagger is still in my hand, and -"
Just when he said this, Jing Yu's heart suddenly "thumped"!
When he first came in, there was no light in the front hall, but when he chased him out, the place was full of candles, and the candles were placed in rows. Xu Ruyi was still angry at the moment, how could she be so excited?
Is it possible...
More than one person came to kill him?!
Oops!
Thinking of this, Jing Yu could no longer explain anything. He hurriedly said to Xu Ruyi: "Princess! Get out of here quickly, the carriage is outside!"
"What?"
Xu Ruyi didn't realize for a moment what Jing Yu was up to.
But Jing Yu suddenly said urgently: "Let's go! It's too late -"
However, before Jing Yu finished speaking, the door of the inn closed with a bang!
Xu Ruyi was shocked in vain and immediately realized that something was wrong here!
But just when she turned around and wanted to leave, the candle near the door suddenly fell to the ground and touched the oil and water on the ground. The closed door burst into flames with a "swish" sound, and the entire door burst into flames!
And those candles were connected by invisible threads. After the candle at the door was pulled down, dozens of candles in the front hall all fell to the ground in just three seconds. After falling to the ground, they touched the oil and water that had been smeared on the ground.
, the entire front hall of the inn instantly burst into flames!
Jing Yu wanted to turn back and go out of the backyard, but the moment he turned around, he saw that the backyard was also burning quickly!
Xu Ruyi was obviously shocked by the sudden fire. She had suspected that someone might take revenge on them recently, but she never thought that what Jing Yu said was actually true!
She wanted to evacuate through the front door, but before she could react, the entire front door was engulfed in flames. There was no way to push it open at this moment, and she even had to take two steps back and stay away from the door.
Jing Yu couldn't even bother to explain to Xu Ruyi that he couldn't get out of the front door or the back door. Everything around him was on fire, except for the middle one. Jing Yu rushed over and pulled Xu Ruyi at the door to the middle one.
position, he hurriedly said: "Princess, be careful!"
At that moment, Xu Ruyi had no intention of questioning him about his escape. The fire in front of her could not help but remind her of the scene in her previous life when she was burned alive by Lin Chengqing, leaving only skeletons.
When Jing Yu held Xu Ruyi's little hand, he could clearly feel Xu Ruyi's little hand trembling violently.
Xu Ruyi said in surprise: "How could this happen?!"
Jing Yu hurriedly said: "It's too late to explain! Let's find a way to get out first!"
Chapter completed!
