After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

After Wei Chang finished speaking, he threw the steamed bun in his hand onto the bed, took out a cloth bag from the mat, and slowly opened it. When I looked, I saw a silver needle and a dart!

I quickly took it and took a look, and found that the materials of these two things were actually the same!

Could it be the same person?

I asked in confusion: "I have never offended anyone, why do they want to kill me?"

Wei Chang took the silver needle and dart from my hand and said, "There is still drug left on the silver needle, don't get pricked by it."

Wei Chang carefully wrapped up the two hidden weapons and put them back under the mat before saying, "There are many reasons to want someone to die."

Wei Chang thought for a moment and then said, "This hidden weapon is finely crafted. It's not something that ordinary people can make. I once knew a craftsman from Xihe Country. He has superb skills. As long as you pay a high enough price, he can make any hidden weapon."

"Do you suspect that it was done by the people of Xihe?" I couldn't help but ask.

"No!" Wei Chang shook his head and said, "It's too risky for people from Xihe to come to Dayu to assassinate you. You are not an important person, so they don't need to take such a big risk."

I was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

"Why?" Wei Chang felt a little tired of sitting, so he simply lay down, coughing from time to time.

I said, “Why do you say the risk is too great?”

Wei Chang stroked his chest, calmed down his cough, and said, "Dayu Kingdom's intelligence network is very developed, and there are many checkpoints. Once they find anything abnormal, they will immediately detain the person, and even execute him first and report later. So it is almost impossible for the people of Xihe Kingdom to break through the many checkpoints and break into the capital to assassinate someone."

I stood up and said, "You are wrong. Nothing is impossible in this world. As long as there is a traitor, not to mention assassins, even the army can be brought in."

Wei Chang's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "What you said makes sense. But who dares to collude with the people of Xihe State?"

I patted Wei Chang on the shoulder and said, "We don't need to worry about this kind of thing. The emperor will naturally send someone to investigate. You just need to take good care of your injuries now, and don't worry about anything else. I'm waiting for you to teach me martial arts after you recover from your injuries."

Wei Chang smiled bitterly and said, "I am already an abandoned child, so what does it matter if I die?"

I glared at Wei Chang and said, "Who said you were abandoned? Didn't His Majesty give you to me? From now on, you are mine. You must not die unless I allow you to!"

Wei Chang looked at me deeply, pursed his lips and said nothing.

I said, "Okay, don't think too much, just take good care of yourself. Your room is too dark, it's not good for healing. I'll ask someone to clean up a room for you in the front yard, and you can move in when it's ready."

Wei Chang nodded.

I said, "I still need to go see Madam Lu. I heard she is dying. We all live in the same room, so I have to go see her."

I was about to leave when Wei Chang suddenly said, "I'm sorry!"

I paused. I knew he was saying sorry about my grandmother.

But what I hate more is myself. If I hadn't insisted on bringing her to the capital, she would still be alive and well, leading a life that was not rich but happy.

I couldn't help but let my tears fall again.

I don’t know why, but I’m crying more and more easily and I can’t stop.

I wiped my eyes and said hoarsely, "It's none of your business. It's my problem. I have indirectly killed so many people that I can't even count them. I am the one who deserves to die!"

After saying that, I left in a hurry without looking back.

I was afraid that I would burst into tears in front of Wei Chang. Even though I'm such a grown-up, I still feel a little embarrassed.

When I walked out of the house, I found that it was really raining.

The rain was drizzling, but not heavy.

The stacked houses in the misty drizzle give a feeling of the Jiangnan region with rain and mist, which is particularly beautiful!

I stood under the eaves and looked for a long time. This was the first time I felt so peaceful since I came here.

My wounds haven’t healed yet and I’m very weak. I wonder if I’ll get a fever after being caught in the rain?

If you don’t take medicine for a cold and fever, you will die, right?

As I thought this, I stretched my feet into the rain.

Just when he was about to rush out, he was suddenly pulled by someone from behind. He leaned backwards and fell to the ground without even being able to stand firmly!

I touched my sore butt and raised my head with difficulty, only to see that it was Wei Chang who was half dead!

I asked unhappily, "What do you want to do?"

Wei Chang held his stomach, his face pale, and seemed to be angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "I was just about to ask you what you are doing? You don't want to go through the corridor, but rush into the rain!"

After being messed up by Wei Chang, I no longer wanted to die.

I struggled to get up and said, "I like getting wet in the rain, it's none of your business!"

After saying that, I touched my sore butt and walked through the corridor twisting my body.

Wei Chang couldn't help coughing a few times and muttered, "You advised me not to die, but you insisted on pushing yourself into the gates of hell. Why bother?"

I walked through the corridor and into the front room. I saw several new servants, some of whom were busy cleaning, some were washing, and some were delivering meals to the main room.

Finally I saw a little bit of the human world and I breathed a sigh of relief. This world is still worth staying in.

When the servant saw me, he hurriedly saluted me. I nodded in return and walked towards the main house.

The four brothers of the He family still stayed at their posts diligently and responsibly. He Tian, ​​who was guarding the main door of the house, saw me and hurriedly saluted me.

I nodded and was about to go back into the house when I suddenly thought of something. I put my foot in the doorway and retracted it. I turned around and said to He Tian, ​​"Didn't you find anything outside when I was assassinated that day?"

He Tian is a martial arts expert. Although not as good as Wei Chang, he is much better than ordinary security guards. There was such a big commotion that day, there was no reason for them not to know about it.

He Tian quickly bowed to me and replied, "My lord, someone came to the mansion that day and told us that Lord Gongsun wanted us to discuss something important, so we went to the front room. But Lord Gongsun went out for something, so we went there in vain. When we returned to Juyuan, we heard that you were in trouble."

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain?" My heart tightened when I heard this. It was actually a premeditated assassination!

A person like me, with no power or influence, I can't think of anyone other than Gui Lanting who would go to such lengths to kill me.

My brows furrowed more and more, and I couldn't help but ask, "Who was the person who delivered the message that day?"

He Tian said: "The servant who came to deliver the message that day was later found drowned in the lotus pond. There were no injuries on his body. After an autopsy, it was confirmed that it was suicide."

"And you're trying to silence someone!" I couldn't help but clench my fists slowly, my chest heaving.

Seeing how angry I was, He Tian said quickly, "His Majesty was furious when he learned that the young master had been assassinated. The salaries of the four of us brothers were all reduced by one level, and we were fined for half a year. Lord Gongsun was also publicly scolded by His Majesty in the hall for neglecting management. Now the whole city is under martial law, and His Majesty has sent the most elite personnel to investigate. I believe the perpetrator will be caught soon."
