Capture the Jade

Teng Yuyi was stunned.

This question is really strange.

Could it be that Lin Chengyou wanted to know everyone's views on his solution?

Having said that, this matter is not trivial for the royal family. Seeing that Lin Chengyou is serious about it, she only thinks that there is a key relationship involved, so she has to answer seriously: "I have the same opinion as other classmates, I think you and Mrs. Deng are very close. A perfect match - Shizi, when did you get rid of the poison?"

Lin Chengyou stared at Teng Yuyi.

Her eyes were calm, and there was not even a hint of sourness in her tone.

No, that's not right, he doesn't believe it.

"You wait."

As he spoke, he took out the Soul Locker from his sleeve and cast a spell on it to wrap around Teng Yuyi's wrist.

"Okay, now we can move on."

Maybe he was covering himself up, and only by detecting the pulse can he find out whether Teng Yuyi's heart was in chaos at the moment.

Teng Yuyi looked at the silver chain in her hand suspiciously.

Lin Chengyou pointed to the river surface: "Chikuo hasn't been seen for a few days. This place is facing the river surface. In case that thing emerges from the water, I can rescue it in time if it is bound."

Teng Yuyi suddenly realized, and Zheng nodded his head: "It's still the prince who is thoughtful."

Lin Chengyou reminded her deliberately: "What did you say just now... Oh yes, so you saw Mrs. Deng holding the jewelry box of Zhaixinglou in her arms?"

While asking nonchalantly, he secretly felt the pulse from the silver chain, and he was so focused that he even held his breath.

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment: "Of course I saw it. The three words 'Zhaixinglou' are quite striking, and it's hard to make people think about it or not."

As soon as she spoke, Lin Chengyou focused on the silver chain, and until she finished speaking, her pulse and breathing were not disturbed.

It's just hopeless.

Oh, it must be the wrong way of his questioning.

Then ask another way.

He looked at her, smiled and said, "Yes, I went to Pick Star Building to buy jewelry, and I bought the best-looking pair of Bu Yao in this building. I plan to give it away tonight."

Teng Yuyi snorted softly.

It seems that it has been given to Deng Weili. The candy man in her mouth suddenly had a strange taste, and it didn't seem to be so sweet anymore. She frowned and handed the candy man to Jun Nu. In fact, she was more curious about how the poison was solved than what jewelry Lin Chengyou gave Deng Weili. Could it be that Qing Xuzi's return this time really brought a way to understand Gu, so Lin Chengyou was tempted by Deng Weili.

Deng Weili's charming demeanor appeared in front of her eyes. Deng Weili should be very satisfied with the gift from Lin Chengyou, otherwise he would not be so happy. Lin Chengyou is keen on investigating cases and has no sloppy habits.

She was a little curious about what jewelry he gave, but it was his and Deng Weili's private business after all. Besides, if she was Deng Weili, she wouldn't want outsiders to know about these things.

She laughed naively, looked at the sparkling river with her cheeks raised, and then not only did she not answer Lin Chengyou's words, she didn't even mean to speak.

Lin Chengyou counted Teng Yuyi's pulse quietly, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, but her heart was still like water.

Very good, what is "the wind does not move", tonight is enough to learn.

Even if he was not reconciled, he had to admit that Teng Yuyi didn't mean that to him now.

Going forward will only make her misunderstand that the person he likes is Deng Weili.

With a flick of his wrist, he muffled the silver chain into his sleeve.

After being silent for a while, he picked up a stone beside his robe and threw it at the surface of the water. This was a game he loved to play since he was a child. The stone floated lightly onto the water, hitting more than 20 strings of water marks.

The moment the water pattern swayed, he figured it out.

What else can I do? Who told him to like her? Isn't the so-called "patience" used in this kind of place? Thinking about the so many secrets she carried on her shoulders, no matter how suffocated she was, she was gradually relieved.

Teng Yuyi was about to get up and say goodbye. Seeing this, she picked up a stone and made a series of beautiful splashes, and then patted her robe: "Sir, I have to go."

Suddenly there was something in front of him, Lin Chengyou handed her an item wrapped in makeup and brocade: "See if you like it."

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, and curiously opened the makeup flower brocade, his eyes suddenly brightened, it was actually a pair of flower branches decorated with Qiongyu swaying, the leaves and stamens were carved lifelike, and the hanging Qiongyu was also very precious, when it swayed gently , the flowers and leaves are sparkling and shining, which can be called ingenious.

Teng Yuyi was stunned. Even though she was used to seeing silk and jade beads since she was a child, she seldom saw such unique jewelry.

"This is—" She raised her eyes and met Lin Chengyou's dark black eyes.

Lin Chengyou turned his head, looked straight ahead and said, "I don't know Deng Weili, and I haven't given her any jewelry. I went to Zhaixinglou a while ago, but I only bought this pair of Buyao. I want to give it to you, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance. Hey, don't think too much about it, didn't you lose a step in the underground palace of Yuzhen Nuguan Guan last time, this can only be regarded as an apology."

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately accentuated his tone. Teng Yuyi showed no signs of being attracted to him. If she knew the original intention of his gift, she would definitely not accept it.

But if he doesn't take it out again, Teng Yuyi might really think that he bought jewelry for Deng Weili, which is a big trouble for him.

He didn't want Teng Yuyi to think that he was a messy person.

Teng Yuyi stared blankly at Bu Yao, as if in a daze.

Lin Chengyou said lightly: "I didn't want to pay for it originally, but I heard that it was your grandmother's relic, and I lost it accidentally, so I can be considered responsible. I have no choice but to pay you a pair, and the purple jade saddle you gave last time is too precious, so this can only be regarded as a small gift."

Only then did Teng Yuyi return to her senses. She looked up at the back of his neck, Lin Chengyou's back collar only showed a little shadow, and after looking at it carefully for a while, she felt relieved. When the poison of the gu is dissipated, the Gu mark of reasoning will also disappear.

Let's just say, he has never been able to solve the Gu in the past life, how can this Gu be solved in this life.

So what happened to Deng Weili.

As if guessing what she was wondering, Lin Chengyou rubbed his chin and said, "Tonight, this incident is like a trap, I was on the bridge to get rid of my tail, not to have a rendezvous with a certain little lady, and I When I walked around the back alley with Kuannu, I didn't see anyone, I guess someone deliberately plotted against Mrs. Deng and me, this is very strange, I will investigate it carefully."

Teng Yuyi finally moved, wrapping the kit in one hand, raising one of the steps in the other hand and turning it gently, that dazzling little light reflected on her eyes like water.

Lin Chengyou waited for a while, seeing that she still didn't answer, he smiled wickedly, and deliberately provoked her: "Teng Yuyi, don't tell me you despise this step, that's right, compared to the priceless Ziyu saddle. Baby, this thing is really inconspicuous, after Teng Yuyi, give it back to me, and I will pay you back a pair of more valuable."

Teng Yuyi shrank his hand back subconsciously: "Who said I despised? I think—"

Lin Chengyou made her words so clear, because she was afraid that she would be affectionate. However, no matter how familiar they are, there are differences between men and women. It would be inappropriate to accept such a precious gift.

After thinking about it, Lin Chengyou will do what she says, this time she won't accept it, next time he might really come up with something more valuable.

It's nothing to take.

Thinking that if she broke his treasure, she would also try to make up for it.

That's how she convinced herself.

"Okay." Teng Yuyi smiled and nodded, "But let's make it clear, I can't blame the prince for the last time he lost his footing in the underground palace, but the prince was so polite, I had to reluctantly accept it, I've already done this step. Very satisfied, don't waste any more money."

Lin Chengyou gave a charming smile, afraid that she would see the clue, and then she restrained her smile and said casually: "Then put it away. It's getting late, I'll take you back first."

"Okay." Teng Yuyi couldn't put it down, played it carefully for a while, and solemnly wrapped the kit.

At this time Kuannu got a few wishing lamps from somewhere: "Sir, it is very effective to put lamps in Qinglong Temple, why don't you put a wishing lamp before you go,"

Teng Yuyi was interested and took one of the lamps: "Let's not talk about whether it works or not, it's fun anyway. Where can I make a wish? Is it written in the lantern?"

Kuannu smiled and said: "There is a piece of bamboo slip in the lantern, which can be written on it with water or ink. The villain has ink sticks here, the lady should take some and write. Remember to be devout when making a wish, and think of yourself. Just write the names of those who pray."

Teng Yuyi carried the lantern to the side, squatted down and dipped some water with an ink stick, took out the bamboo slips in the lantern, and seriously wrote down his wish on it: safe passage.

After thinking about it, I added the names of my grandpa, my aunt, my cousin, my cousin, etc. in the name column for blessing. Although Duanfu was not a relative, he also wrote it down solemnly. When he was about to get up, he inadvertently saw him Lin Chengyou over there, suddenly remembered that he was plotted with poisoned arrows in his previous life. He is eighteen this year. If he can't be rescued, he will only live to be twenty-one years old.

She had an idea, and then hesitated again, wondering if she was a good outsider to help her pray...

That's all, after saving her so many times, out of gratitude, he should also help pray for blessings, so he turned around and wrote Lin Chengyou's name respectfully.

Kuan Nu also handed Lin Chengyou a lantern over there.

Lin Chengyou was too lazy to take it, recalling the scene just now, even asking Teng Yuyi to accept a gift would take so much effort. He was troubled in his heart, but he heard Kuannu say, "Sir, let's put one, it will keep you safe."

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's silhouette, she was devoutly writing something on the bamboo slip.

Tonight is the Buddha Bathing Festival, and any little lady in Chang'an will have no distractions to play to the fullest. Only Teng Yuyi is still thinking about catching the thief.

So he changed his mind, took the lantern and ink stick without a word, wrote a line on the bamboo slip, walked to the water's edge and put the lantern into the water.

At this moment, Teng Yuyi put the lantern and came over, just in time to see this scene.

"What wish did the prince make?"

Lin Chengyou smiled and didn't answer: "Let's go."

Kuannu used a bamboo pole to send the two lamps as far away as possible. When the lanterns lit up, the bamboo slips inside also lit up. He accidentally glanced at them, and there was only one line on the prince's bamboo slips:

Teng Yuyi lived a hundred years.

***

On the way back, Teng Yuyi was busy discussing with Lin Chengyou how to lure the thief out of the hole. Back in the narrow alley just now, Teng Yuyi took off his gray cloak and gave it to Kuannu.

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's hat: "When you came out, I asked someone to tell you that you went to the jewelry store to get something, and now you go back empty-handed, you have a hat on your head, why don't you put on Bu Yao? I have already said hello to the owner of the jewelry shop, so if someone asks me later, I'm not afraid of missing the right number."

Teng Yu thought for a while, as long as she didn't take off the hood, no one would find out that she had a pair of Buyao on her head, not to mention that there were so many people tonight that the pair of Buyao was only wrapped in a bag, and she was always worried that it would fall. broken.

"Alright." Teng Yuyi took out the pair of Bu Yaos and groped them to put them on her head.

Lin Chengyou tilted his head and glanced at her, but unfortunately the alley was too dark, so she couldn't see what she looked like wearing this step shake.

Teng Yuyi touched it again and again, and made sure that the step was firmly inserted, Kuannu came over and said, "Sir, Yan Sizhi is waiting for you over there."

Seeing that Lin Chengyou was busy, Teng Yuyi hurriedly said goodbye to the crowd. Taking advantage of the crowd and the darkness of the night, she mixed into the crowd, but unexpectedly met Aunt Wu and her party halfway.

Wu Zhang seemed to have been playing nearby, holding a lot of gadgets in his hand. When he saw Teng Yuyi, he stopped and smiled and said, "Your sister said that you went to Linshui Zhai to pick up the ordered jewelry, but I didn't see you coming back after waiting for a long time. , I just couldn't hold back and went out to look for you. I shouldn't have gone far. I went to set up the wishing lantern, and I'll come back to play with you later."

Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her younger sister Wu Qi, but her body is graceful, her skin is as white as jade, and her speech is more gentle.

Teng Yuyi broke up with Wu Xiang and returned to Jushuangzhai to find that more than half of her classmates were missing.

My sister and cousin were not there, and looking outside, even Huoqiu disappeared.

There were only Deng Weili, Liu Siniang, Wu Qi and others on the table. They were all people who liked to talk and laugh, and they were very lively.

Teng Yuyi winked at Duanfu who was outside, and motioned him to send Chang Geng to find Sister and the others. When he sat down, he looked around and asked with a smile, "Have you all gone out to put out the wishing lamps?"

"No, I'll be back after a while." Liu Siniang looked at the jewelry in Deng Weili's brocade box, "Look, Ayu, this is a gift Weili just received, and the other party also attached a letter of admiration, It was indicated that it was given to Wei Li, but unfortunately there is no signature, we are all guessing which Lang Jun gave it."

Deng Weili smiled and said: "This thing is easy to return, but I won't accept it if it has no end or no end. I will give it to my grandfather tomorrow, and let him find the gift giver and return it."

Teng Yuyi looked at the brocade box, and there was a pair of moon-reflective bead rings.

Wu Qi and Liu Siniang looked at each other and said tacitly, "Weili, you already guessed who gave the gift, right?"

Deng Weili said frankly: "I really don't know."

Wu Qi said narrowly: "Although I don't know how many Xiao Langjun admires you, there are not many people in Chang'an who can afford this kind of jewelry. I don't believe that you have no shadow in your heart."

"From Picking Star Tower." Liu Siniang smiled and took a sip of tea, "We all saw it just now."

Deng Weili didn't answer, and only smiled, but judging from her eyes, she seemed to acquiesce to the answer.

Teng Yuyi took a deep look at Deng Weili, couldn't help but took off the curtain cap, turned her head with her chin up, and tapped her face lightly with her fingers.

When she moved, the steps on her head swayed.

No one paid attention at first, Liu Siniang turned her head inadvertently, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Ayu, is this pair of Bu Yao made new?"

Wu Qi and Deng Weili also looked surprised: "Yeah, it's so beautiful."

Teng Yuyi smiled, revealing two deep pear eddies, looked directly at Deng Weili, and said casually, "It was made to order in Linshui Zhai, and it was just in time for the festival tonight, so I took it on the way and put it on."

Deng Weili didn't suspect him. He looked at him and smiled and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a strange step style, Ayu, is this the style you drew yourself? The flower branches are actually made of jadeite, which is ingenious."

Wu Qi simply sat down beside Teng Yuyi, raised her face and looked at it carefully. At this time, a few more classmates came in. After sitting down, she saw the brocade box of "Zhaixinglou" on the table, and whispered to Deng Weili: "Is it a king? The prince gave it to you?"

Deng Weili was surprised: "Who?"

Liu Siniang feigned anger: "You are still pretending, I have been friends with you since childhood, you won't even hide it from me, right? We all saw it before, you and Prince Cheng enjoy the scenery on the bridge together."

Deng Weili raised his hand in confusion: "Wait, wait, the reason I stayed on the bridge before was because a classmate asked me to wait for her at the seventh pier."

Teng Yuyi looked at Deng Weili with a little surprise. She thought that someone invited Deng Weili to the bridge under the name of Lin Chengyou, and Deng Weili also believed that it was Lin Chengyou's own appointment, but looking at Deng Weili's performance, it seemed that this was not the case.

"Which classmate?" Wu Qi and others were dubious.

"Aunt Wu." Deng Weili looked around, "She asked me to wait for her at the seventh pier."

Everyone was more and more surprised, Wu Zhang was stable and kind, not like he liked to tease people.

Deng Weili looked out the window: "Aunt Wu seems to have passed by the building just now, no, I have to go to her and clarify the matter."

"You don't have to look for it, it must have been Brother A who brought Sister A to put the wishing lamp." Wu Qi pouted, "The whole family loves my Sister, my Mother is like this, so is my Brother. Come to see us late, and didn't say to take me out to play."

Liu Siniang and Deng Weili touched the back of Wu Qi's hand sympathetically.

Teng Yuyi looked out casually, but saw a familiar figure.

Lu Zhaoan? How could Lu Zhaoan be here. Suddenly thinking that her sister was nearby, Teng Yuyi's heart skipped a beat, Lu Zhaoan wouldn't be here for her sister.

She was about to go out to check when she heard a shrill scream from the street.

"What happened?" Someone at the door of the store asked in surprise.

"There's an accident over there with a little lady."

"Looking at the dress is a noble lady."

The people in the store looked at each other in shock, only worried that it was a certain classmate. After a moment of silence, swarms rushed out of the store.

I saw that the arch bridge not far away was crowded with people, and soon, the crowd was dispersed.

Teng Yuyi was afraid that something might happen to her sister, so Duanfu guarded her desperately into the crowd. When she got close, she saw a little lady in a tulip dress lying on the ground.

Teng Yuyi recognized the man at a glance, and said in amazement, "Mother Wu."

Wu Zhang's originally beautiful facial features were twisted and deformed, his eyes were full of whites, his legs were stretched, and his body twitched.

Wu Yuanluo was half-kneeling beside his sister, his face as pale as a piece of paper, trying to hold down his sister, but he was afraid of triggering a stronger reaction from her.

"Go and invite Feng Yu!" Huge beads of sweat dripped from Wu Yuanluo's temples, and he turned his head and scolded the maid next to Wu Tang, "What are you doing, just put the handkerchief on the lady's face."

The maids were in a hurry and were about to put on the handkerchiefs. At this time, the crowd separated from each other. Lin Chengyou arrived, squatted down and took a look, and put a talisman on Wu Zhang's forehead. .

Wu Yuanluo raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat and said, "Sir, my sister is—"

Lin Chengyou rolled Wu Qi's eyelids, his face suddenly hard to look at. He was also accompanied by Yan Sizhi and others. Seeing this, he said in surprise, "Lin Pingshi, this lady looks like..."

"The murderer probably hasn't gone far." Lin Chengyou said with a blank face, "She has just been taken away with her soul and soul."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the crowd, his eyes swept from left to right, as if he wanted to burn the expressions of everyone in the crowd into his eyes.
