Zhuo Ran's words were stopped.

It was difficult to move forward and didn't want to have a grudge with Zhuo Nan again, so he had to change the topic and ask, "Why is it so deserted here?" looked left and right a few times, and didn't even see half a figure in the courtyard, and rarely met people on the way here.

Zhuo Nan glanced at her and said lightly: "My father's premeditated rebellion failed, and the subordinates ran away." The capital is in turmoil, and there are very few newly bought people, and now they are either busy working in the mourning hall or serving Zhuo Qing. They're all busy and lacking skills, do you think they're all as free as I am, and I'm going to hang out with you?"

Zhuo Ran: "......" Coming to see the fifth aunt is the most important thing!

Aoyagi, who was expressionless, suddenly interjected: "Madam, Fifth Imperial Princess, the firewood room has arrived." ”

Zhuo Nan followed Aoyagi's gaze and looked over, only to see that a lock was added to the door of the firewood room, so there was no one to guard it.

As soon as Zhuo Ran saw that it was locked, he yelled at Zhuo Nan before he got closer. "Why is this still locked? Then how can I go in and see Aunt Five? You quickly have someone open the lock. ”

Zhuo Nan frowned slightly and said, "The key is not with me, it should be in the hands of the people who guard the fifth aunt." She suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

Zhuo Ran hurriedly urged: "Then you hurry up and let someone take it!" But his eyes wandered between Qingyan and Qingliu, guessing who Zhuo Nan would let to get the key.

Zhuo Nan glanced at Zhuo Ran, looked at Qing Yan and said lightly: "You go and kick the door open." ”

Zhuo Ran: "......" is so violent?! Forget it, no matter what method you use, just open the door and let her see the fifth aunt!

Ran to the door of the firewood room and shouted inside. "Auntie, Ran'er is here! We don't have the key, Sister Nan asked her maid to kick the door open, you stay away. After speaking, he didn't wait for the fifth aunt's response.

"Auntie, auntie?" he shouted twice more tentatively, but there was still no response.

Zhuo Ran turned around angrily and stared at Zhuo Nan who was approaching and asked, "Did you tie the hands and feet of the fifth aunt?" and gagged her mouth with a handkerchief?!"

Zhuo Nan glanced at her indifferently, and said coldly: "How do I know? If you dare to yell at me again, I will immediately have you thrown into the well. said to the outside world that the fifth aunt stole people and soaked the pig cage, and you were abandoned by the five princes, and you couldn't think of committing suicide by throwing yourself into the well for a while. ”

Zhuo Ran: "...... Sister Nan, good sister, don't be angry with me, something so big happened, I'm just anxious and in a bad mood, and my voice is just a little louder, I will pay attention in the future, I apologize to you. "Damn bastards!

Zhuo Nan looked at Zhuo Ran's flattering appearance, and turned his head indifferently to look at Qing Yan.

Zhuo Ran hurriedly walked away.

Zhuo Nan stood still and did not move.

Qing Yan stepped forward, gathered all the internal force on his right leg, raised his foot and kicked towards the door of the firewood room.

Bang! The locked right door was kicked down by Qing Yan!

Zhuo Ran was dumbfounded, staring at the fallen firewood door in surprise, and then at the legs and feet of the green dead.

Qing Yan stared at the lock on the door of the fall, and fell to the ground with a click, looking at Zhuo Nan and suddenly said, "Madam, this lock is not really locked." ”

Zhuo Ran followed Qing Yan's words and stared at the copper lock that fell on the ground, why did he pretend to hang on the door to deceive people if he didn't lock it?

Zhuo Nan's expression did not change, and he frowned instantly when he looked at the firewood room!

There was a large pool of blood on the ground, and the source was found along the bloodstains.

I saw that the fifth aunt was tied hand and foot, and there was obviously a foreign object stuffed in her mouth, but she was lying on the ground sideways facing them, with multiple knife wounds on her face that were shocking and had been disfigured.

There is also a cut on the exposed neck that is oozing blood!

The tip of the nose smelled a strong smell of blood, mixed with the rotting and musty smell of firewood, and a familiar fishy smell that could not be dispersed.

A variety of smells were mixed together, and Zhuo Nan couldn't help but hold his breath.

Glancing around the entire firewood room full of firewood, the identity of the murderer emerged.

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Ran immediately screamed and ran over. "Auntie!"

Picked up the upper body of the fifth aunt and let her lean on her body, while crying out in pain, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover the wound on her neck, and roared at Zhuo Nan with grief and indignation: "You dare to kill someone! I will go to the official yamen to sue you!"

Turning his head and hugging the fifth aunt, he kept asking: "Auntie, don't scare me, please don't scare me!" Dad is dead, you can't die!"

Zhuo Nan looked at Zhuo Ran's crying bitterly, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly. The fifth aunt closed her eyes tightly and seemed to be dead, but she could hear her fainter and fainter heartbeat, and knew that she still had a breath.

The fifth aunt, who was on the verge of death, heard Zhuo Ran's voice and opened her eyes with great difficulty.

When she saw Zhuo Ran clearly, tears flowed from her eyes, flashing with hope, and she wanted to speak but found that she still had a foreign object stuffed in her mouth.

Zhuo Ran, who was crying, saw a foreign object in the mouth of the fifth aunt, and quickly reached out to take out the foreign object, but found that it was a handkerchief or the fifth aunt's own handkerchief.

"Auntie, tell me quickly, who hurt you, tell me quickly!" Zhuo Ran obviously saw that the fifth aunt was dying, and now she was just returning to the light. Because there is so much blood on the ground! A man who sheds so much blood will not survive!

The fifth aunt opened her mouth, and her voice was inaudible.

Zhuo Ran hurriedly lowered her head and put her ear to her mouth, so that she could hear what she said clearly.

"Don't cry, my aunt didn't steal anyone, yes, she is innocent. It was Steward Zhou who slighted me, and the Li family deliberately put me to death, and the mistake was wrong...... You have to endure it, and when the Queen Mother falls, you can avenge me. Before that, you must be more filial to her than before, and you must not show your stuff, otherwise...... Your life is not guaranteed, and your life is not ....... ”

"Auntie, Woo Woo Woo, Auntie, I believe you!" Zhuo Ran cried and nodded again and again.

Out of the corner of her eye, the fifth aunt caught a glimpse of Zhuo Nan walking around in the firewood room, and said with the last bit of strength: "I learned that you were under house arrest, my aunt begged your father and the Li family, and it was useless to go back to your mother's house and beg your grandfather, and even begged Zhuo Nan and Zhuo Qing...... My aunt can only watch you suffer but can't do anything, don't blame my aunt......"

Zhuo Ran: Father, mother, grandfather, Zhuo Nan and Zhuo Qing, all of them waited for her!

“…… Your father is dead, my aunt and I'...... You have to leave too, you must be good friends with Zhuo Nan and Zhuo Qing, and when you become the emperor and queen, it will not be too late to settle the score......"

Zhuo Ran suddenly couldn't hear the sound, looked down and saw that the fifth aunt couldn't get up in one breath and was about to die, and hurriedly yelled. "Auntie, you can't die! You can't leave me alone, I beg you not to die, don't die, woo woo ....... ”

The days of house arrest in the Five Princes' Mansion are worse than death.

The subordinates bullied her in every way because she fell out of favor, and even deducted her food, she often ate the last meal without the next meal!

Compared with the previous days of fine clothes and fine food, she is simply worse than death, as if she is in hell!

Seeing that the fifth aunt's lips moved twice, she quickly stopped crying and put her ears up again.
