The mountain road was rugged, and the road could only stop at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Xian was uneasy, as if sensing that something was happening, and hurried to Lengyue Nunnery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the distance, he heard the woman's sharp cry, Zhou Xian heard the voice of the maid beside Chen, the cry was terrible, something must have happened.

The door of the meditation room was ajar, and the maid in Tsing Yi knelt beside Chen's corpse and buried her head and cried loudly.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xian stood at the door, shocked by the situation in the house.

"Xian Gongzi." The maidservant who was crying bitterly on the ground turned her head when she heard the sound and saw someone coming, her crying stopped suddenly, and she shouted emotionally, "The son wants to administer justice for his wife!" Madame was killed, woo woo ......"

Zhou Xian helped up Chen, who fell to the ground, the shocking blood made him gasp, he reached out to check his pulse, his body shook, and he hugged Chen's gradually cold body violently, and shouted suddenly, "Mother! ”

"Madame died so miserably...... "The maid in Tsing Yi cried again.

Zhou Xian closed Chen's round eyes, and said with red eyes, "Who did it?" ”

The maid in Tsing Yi rubbed her crying red eyes, and said with a crying voice, "It's the people of Rui Wangfu, the slave and maid saw it with their own eyes, they want to arrest the lady and threaten the eldest prince, and the lady took advantage of the unpreparedness of the person to take poison and commit suicide......"

Rui Wangfu?

Zhou Xian carried his mother to the bed, let the maid come in with a basin of cloth, and personally wrung the wet cloth towel to wipe Chen's blood-stained mouth and nose, his movements were gentle, he looked at his mother's old and lifeless face intently, and said while wiping, "How could they let you go?" ”

The maid in Tsing Yi's crying gradually stopped, and her face was still mournful, "Madame let the slave and maid hide in the closet, just to save the life of the slave and maid and go to the general's mansion to warn, so as not to fall into the trap and hurt his life." ”

Zhou Xian paused, his eyes fell on the maidservant, and his scrutinizing gaze swept over her face, "What did you hear?" ”

"It was a young woman, and the slave girl hid in the cupboard and could not see her face, but could only hear her conversation with her wife."

"What did they say?"

"The slave maid listened to the meaning of their words, it seems that King Rui colluded with the rebels to seek the usurpation of the throne, that Pingyang Hou pretended to break with King Rui to deceive everyone, to win the emperor's trust, the eldest prince went to southern Xinjiang for help is also their trick, transfer the eldest prince to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, inside and outside the palace is the world of the Imperial Forest Army, that Pingyang Hou has been in charge of the Imperial Forest Army for many years, and under an order, the civil official supervision army will be useless, and then they should join forces inside and outside to attack the palace. Xiangongzi, you have to find a way to inform the eldest prince! The slave feared that they would ambush and kill him on the road. ”

Zhou Xian was shocked, stared at her worried face, and asked calmly, "How can the two of them talk about these things?" ”

The maid in Tsing Yi was slightly shocked in her heart, this Tuesday Gongzi, who only reads the books of sages, does not seem to be an ignorant straw bag!

"The slave maid guessed that the lady should deliberately trick the woman's words, so that the slave and the maid could tell the two sons these secrets, and the woman thought that there was no one in the room, and she was not afraid that the lady would escape, so she had no scruples about talking......"

Zhou Xian nodded, this sounds very reasonable, although his face is calm, but his heart is already a mess, is it true that King Rui and Pingyang Hou are colluding with each other to force the palace to seize the throne? Zhou Xiu is pregnant, the Zhou family and King Rui are already on the same front, why does King Rui want to deal with the Zhou family? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, could it be that Zhou Xiu found something, which made him take his mother back to the General's Mansion, but was he still a step late?

"What else did they say?"

The maid in Tsing Yi thought for a while and said, "There are some words that the slave and maid don't understand, as if the woman said something like 'the tail can't be dropped' or 'coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes' or something, and the slave and maid don't know what they mean." ”

The tail is too big to fall, and the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the princes!

I see!

Is this why they can't tolerate the Zhou family?

Zhou Xian left Lengyue Nunnery with Chen's corpse, and the maid in green clothes had nowhere to go, so she followed her to the General's Mansion.

After leaving Beijing, Zhou Yu slowed down his pace, he did not hide his whereabouts, and there were not many guards accompanying him.

When Li You followed Duanmu Xiong's advice to ask for help from the Southern Army, Zhou Yu understood that the Holy Capital City was not in danger for the time being.

Duanmuxiong's old fox had any calculations, he had scruples, but he was not afraid.

After all, there are 200,000 northern troops behind the Zhou family, and if you want to move the Zhou family, you have to see if you have the ability.

This trip to southern Xinjiang is dangerous and abnormal, and he may be ambushed and assassinated on the way, Zhou Yu has been prepared, but it is still calm thousands of miles away, he guesses, could it be that they plan to do something to him on the border of southern Xinjiang, put the responsibility on the head of the southern army, and make the northern and southern armies fight each other, so as to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman?

If so, how could he do what they wanted!

A few days later, Zhou Yu and his party arrived in southern Xinjiang, almost overnight, and the elite secret guards sent by Duanmu Xiong found that the originally swaggering Zhou Commander and his guards seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, they found a group of caravan guests in the inn where they were staying, with their clothes pulled out and tied to their beds.

The day after Zhou Yu disappeared in southern Xinjiang, the news reached Mu Ruolan.

Watching Darkwing release the snow-white dove, Mu Ruolan stared at the white shadow gradually turning into a white spot, and then disappeared into the blue sky and white clouds.

She retracted her gaze and commanded, "Send a message to the painting beads, and you can begin." ”

Darkwing bowed his head, turned and strode away.

Then, Mu Ruolan walked leisurely in the palace, wearing flowers and willows all the way, stepping on bluestone slabs, crossing cobblestone paths, bathing in the bright summer sun, walking across the wooden bridge on the lotus pond, she inhaled the crisp lotus fragrance in the wind, bent down and stretched out her arms to pick a large green lotus leaf, and put it on her head.

The bamboo forest is verdant and rustling.

The man in Xuanyi sat quietly and stroked the qin, his fingers were strong and slender, and the sound of the piano was flowing on his fingertips, sometimes gentle and low, sometimes heavy and killing, as if his mind was changeable and contradictory.

"Is the prince worried?" Mu Ruolan sat down unceremoniously on the low couch next to her and waved away the maid standing aside.
