The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 54 What are you doing?

While the two were talking, the hidden guard who had been fighting in the courtyard for a while finally took down the person pretending to be Lin Xu.

The dark guard restrained the man and knelt on the ground, Jin Qi quickly stepped forward to look at the man, ignoring Lin Xu.

I have to say, that person is really similar in disguise. If you only look at that face, you can't tell the truth from the fake. In addition, his height, figure, and voice are almost the same as Lin Xu. If it weren't for the fact that the other party revealed in his words If something goes wrong, I'm afraid Jin Qi won't think about it at all.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?" Jin Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

The man was injured in many places because of the fight with the hidden guard just now, even the face that was exactly the same as Lin Xu had a large wound, and the bright red blood overflowed from the wound, staining half of his face red , and also made Lin Xu's plain face a bit more unpredictable and dangerous, Jin Qi couldn't help but be taken aback.

The other party didn't answer, just raised his head and glanced at Jin Qi, then lowered his head and remained motionless, as if preparing to remain silent to the end.

"Don't tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I have a way to find out." Jin Qi glanced at the hidden guard next to him, who immediately understood, and pulled him up to take him away.

Now that he is caught alive, the dark guard will naturally not miss it so easily.

The person Lin Xu caught last time, they took back with them when they went back, but the other party was injured and unable to speak. Although the other party also explained a lot of things in the end, there was not much useful information.

The last time the assassin who followed Lin Xu and the others back to Lin Xu's home did not meet the person who bought the murder directly.

Those people are doing business with money, so they didn't ask too much.After getting the information about where Lin Xu and the others were and the name of the assassin, Shanhao, they rushed to Lin Xu's hometown, and then they missed and were captured unexpectedly.

The dark guard pulled the man to stand up, and was about to take him out of the door. Seeing that he could not escape, the man looked up at Jin Qi again, his mouth moved as if he was about to speak.

Just as he was making a move, a slender white hand suddenly stretched out from the side. Lin Xu pinched the man's chin, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the man's chin was completely removed.

This kind of people, nine out of ten, have already prepared the mentality of committing suicide if the task is not fulfilled. Even if they don't want to, their master will never spare them, let alone give them the opportunity to leak the secret.

"Don't tell the outside world about this. If anyone asks, tell me you're dead." Lin Xu looked at the butler and servants in the prime minister's mansion, and the secret guard didn't need to explain.

"Yes, my lord." There are not many people in Prime Minister Lin Xu's mansion, but they are all people he can trust. They have been with him for many years and know the basics.

Seeing this, the dark guard became more careful, and directly tapped the man's acupoints, making him unable to move any more.

Some of the hidden guards took people away, and the rest hid in the darkness.Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly recruited his servants to clean up.

The hidden guard and the man had just fought in the hall, and the porcelain dagger in the man's hand was poisoned. The hall couldn't be cleaned up for a while, so Lin Xu took Jin Qi to the side hall after looking at it for a while.

Being alone with Lin Xu again, Jin Qi was still a little wary. After entering the door, he took the initiative to change the subject, "It seems that the people in the palace are more problematic."

The two of them had previously suspected that the person who leaked the news of the ambush was someone from the palace, most likely the chief eunuch who had been by Jin Qi's side before, but the secret guard was not impossible.

But now it seems that the possibility of hidden guards has been reduced a lot, but the suspicion of the chief eunuch in the palace is much greater.

Lin Xu saw that Jin Qi changed the subject, but he didn't point it out. After thinking for a while, he nodded, "It seems that it is right now."

He didn't see the situation when the other party was dealing with Jin Qi just now, but judging from the fight afterwards, although the other party tried to imitate him as much as possible, but the imitation was not very clever.

"If he was a secret guard, he probably wouldn't use this kind of person." Jin Qi actually wanted to say that if he was really a secret guard, it would be much easier for the other party to imitate his way of getting along with Lin Xu, not like this Full of loopholes.

But this time the other party finally showed his flaws. The other party was able to arrange manpower in the palace to transfer Lin Xu away. He had a clear idea of ​​Jin Qi's whereabouts, and he was even wearing court clothes.

Apart from the other two things, Lin Xu recognized at a glance that it wasn't an imitation if it wasn't the court dress the other party was wearing.

The court clothes worn by officials in the court are all carefully crafted by palace craftsmen. Needless to say, the selection of fabrics, and the stitching of the pattern on the hem of the clothes are also exquisite, which cannot be easily imitated by outsiders.

Moreover, court clothes are distinguished by rank and civil and military officials. Officials of each rank have patterns and styles of each rank. Lin Xu is the head of the hundred officials. He only wears this court dress, and there is no possibility of it being stolen for imitation.

"What do you think?" Jin Qi asked.

"You can start with the court clothes. There is a strict system for court uniforms, and there are records for the materials used. You only need to check the records to find out where you are going." Lin Xu's face did not change, but his eyes were a little cold. The other party would actually think of using his identity to assassinate Jin Qi.

Fortunately, the other party did not succeed this time, if the other party really succeeded...

Thinking of this, Lin Xu frowned.

"What?" Jin Qi asked.

"Nothing." Lin Xu didn't want to say more.

"The matter about court clothes, do you check or I check?"

Lin Xu thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, "Let Xu Lan investigate."

This matter can be hidden from the outsiders but not the instigator behind it. As long as Jin Qi survives, the other party can immediately judge that the plan has failed, and they will definitely be more vigilant at that time.

If he and Jin Qi check it out, the other party will immediately notice it. It might be more convenient for Xu Lan to check it out at this time.

"In that case, let's do it this way!" Jin Qi went to the side and sat down, he was a little tired from all the fuss just now.

Seeing this, Lin Xu suddenly took two quick steps forward and grabbed Jin Qi's hand. With force on his hand, he directly pulled him up and stood up again.

"What's the matter?" Jin Qi was puzzled, but Lin Xu dragged him around when he was wondering, and stood with his back to Lin Xu with one hand raised high.

"Take off your clothes." Lin Xu reached out to pull Jin Qi's belt while speaking.

"What are you doing?" Jin Qi was startled, what is Lin Xu going to do all of a sudden?

Lin Xu moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he tore off the belt of Jin Qi's coat. Before Jin Qi could resist, he would have been taken off.

After taking off his coat, Lin Xu reached out to Jin Qi's inner coat again, and Jin Qi, who was so scared that he reacted, quickly grabbed the hem of his coat, "What's the matter?"

"The clothes are torn, take them off and I'll check for any injuries." Lin Xu ordered.

The dagger that the man used just now was poisonous, and the toxicity is not yet clear. If it is poisonous that kills when it is stained with blood, then Jin Qi may have been poisoned by now.

Jin Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately began to check his clothes. After searching for a while, he found that it was in the armpit and flank, but he hesitated.

He has never been like this in front of Lin Xu, and maybe he doesn't know the wounds on his body that are almost all over his body. He has seen the wounds since he was a child, but even so every time he sees them, he still feels terrible. How would you feel if you saw him?

"What?" Lin Xu waited for a while and saw that Jin Qi hadn't moved, so he stepped forward to help, but Jin Qi grabbed his clothes.

"Or I'd better go back and let the imperial doctor examine it." Jin Qi said.

Lin Xu frowned immediately when he heard the words, "If you are really poisoned, does the emperor think they will let you return to the palace alive?"

If it were him, he would definitely choose a highly poisonous poison, preferably the kind that seals the throat when it sees blood, so as to be safe.

Jin Qi looked up hesitantly and saw Lin Xu's dissatisfied eyes. At that moment, there was a warm current flowing in his heart. Jin Qi still hesitated a little, but the uneasiness in his heart had faded a lot.

Lin Xu will definitely know some things, it's just a matter of time.He opened his mouth silently, but still took off his clothes bravely.

Jin Qi watched nervously while moving.

Lin Xu, after all the wounds left on his body when he was a child were exposed, Jin Qi became tense, and even a thin layer of sweat overflowed from his palms.

He couldn't imagine how he would feel if he saw disgust or fear in Lin Xu's eyes.

To Jin Qi's surprise, Lin Xu didn't show any expression, no disgust, no fear, not even surprise, seeing him take off his clothes, Lin Xu just went up to check immediately.

Jin Qi took off his clothes, revealing the looming side lumbar muscle line, he turned sideways to look at the wound, and it was at this time that he realized that he was actually injured.

The wound wasn't too big, and it was only the length of a finger, because it was just a little bit of skin, and Jin Qi didn't even notice it before.

"Is there any discomfort?" Lin Xuwei bent over and touched it with his fingers, and then squeezed the wound a little. The blood that flowed from the wound was bright red, and it didn't look like he had been poisoned.

"It seems to be okay." Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu who was close at hand, and couldn't help holding his breath, and his heart was beating non-stop.

Lin Xu approached suddenly, and he was not wearing a shirt, which made him feel hot and hot, making him unable to tell whether his fever was due to Lin Xu or the wound.

"It seems?" Lin Xu was not very satisfied with Jin Qi's question, Jin Qi didn't even know if he was feeling sick?

"I don't feel anything else at the moment." Jin Qi hastily added.Apart from his head congested and his heart beating wildly, he really didn't notice anything else wrong.

He has been deliberately concealing the wound. He had imagined many possibilities, but he never expected that it would be so peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Hearing this, Lin Xu looked down at the wound again, and gently stroked his fingers around the wound to examine the wound carefully.

Sensing the movement of Lin Xu's fingers, Jin Qi couldn't help trembling slightly.

The wound was on Jin Qi's waist and flank, and he had to turn around to see it, because Lin Xu was standing beside him to check him, Jin Qi had to stand obediently, which also made Lin Xu's finger movements be ignored. Magnified countless times.

"It should just be scratched by a piece of wood." Lin Xu said after checking.

Lin Xu has been learning martial arts since he was a child, and he has a lot of insights into wounds. He also found some sawdust on his clothes just now, and he just asked Jin Qi to take off his clothes just in case.

"Oh." Jin Qi stiffened and walked aside, going to get dressed.

Jin Qi was still a little dazed, because of the poison and the wound, why wasn't Lin Xu surprised at all?Did he already know?But how is this possible? No one in the palace dared to mention it, and naturally no one knew.

And if he already knew what happened back then, how much did he know about his identity?
