"Are you sure it's her?" Cheng Jialuo confirmed again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wei San, whose real name is Chen Nanfeng, deliberately changed his name in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. When he saw the seventh girl in the Su family, he was slightly stunned, and he was extremely impressed by that face, "The subordinates confirmed that it was the girl that Gongzi let go that night." β
They have always acted in secret, and once discovered, they are immediately eradicated, leaving no trace. That night, the knife was on the girl's neck, and it only took a little force to end her life. But Childe hesitated and let her go. It was the first time anyone had escaped alive from under Childe's knife, and because of that, he paid special attention to that face.
Thinking of those eyes and the shadow, a trace of inexplicable throbbing flashed in Cheng Jialuo's heart. His father told him since he was a child that he could have a woman he liked when he became an adult, but his marriage was involuntarily, he was the son of the Marquis of Annan, shouldering the future of Annan, and his wife and concubine must have a strong foundation and background, or marry a princess, or marry the daughter of the Annan family. He had never had any expectations for his future marriage, but at this moment, he hoped that Su Tong could become his wife.
"Childe, the prince declares that the seven girls of the Su family are the people set by the Ji family, and it is very difficult for us to take away the seven girls." Chen Nanfeng presented a letter of appointment that was marked a "Γ" by Ji Qianchen, and told Cheng Jialuo the original of Ji Qianchen's words.
The corners of Cheng Jialuo's lips moved slightly, "It's time for our people to move." "Ji Qianchen, I don't care what your identity is, Su Tong, you don't want to be contaminated.
The next morning, the carrier pigeon fluttered and landed in front of the window. Meng Shuang took the letter paper and handed it to Ji Qianchen. When Ji Qianchen saw the letter, his face changed sharply, and he instructed Meng Shuang to pack his luggage immediately and prepare to return to Beijing, "The sooner the better." β
Meng Shuang knew that something big must have happened in Beijing, "The subordinates will go and prepare." β
Before leaving, Ji Qianchen went to the Su Mansion to say goodbye, and insisted on taking Su Mo and Su Tong away, "The matter is urgent, this son must return to Beijing as soon as possible, the ninth girl and the seventh girl will be placed in the other courtyard, and after the consent of the father and the mother, they will be sent to the palace." What do you think? β
Su Yusheng was extremely embarrassed, the Ji family couldn't afford to offend, and the Cheng family couldn't afford to offend. Fortunately, the Zhu family gave him a trick in advance, "Mo'er and Tong'er can enter the eyes of the prince, which is really the luck of my Su family." However, Tong'er has a case, and I am afraid that I can't leave Anyang at the moment. β
Ji Qianchen had no choice but to take Su Mo back to Beijing first.
β¦β¦
When he woke up early in the morning and learned that Ji Qianchen hurriedly returned to Beijing with Su Mo, Su Tong secretly wondered why he was in such a hurry. What's ridiculous is that Ji Qianchen even left her a letter, asking her to wait for him, and when he finishes dealing with the affairs of the capital, he will come to pick her up in Beijing to complete the marriage. This prince really went his own way, she never promised to be with him, but he included her in his back house.
In less than half a tea time, Huo Shaoting appeared in "Green Pothos Xuan".
"The assassination of the Qi Palace?" The news brought by Huo Shaoting shocked Su Tong.
"Although I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, I heard my father and mother mention that the royal succession is extremely tragic, so when they were princes, they would secretly cultivate guards to save their lives at critical moments. The prince of Qi is in a high position and power, and he was able to survive the battle for the heir back then, which shows that both the strategy and the level of the guards are superior, how could he be easily assassinated? In her previous life, she had almost no impression of the prince Qi, firstly, this prince retired early and did not ask about political affairs, and secondly, she was abandoned by the Su family in her previous life, and rarely paid attention to the major affairs of the court. In this life, Prince Qi did not retreat, but became the right-hand man of today's saint.
"It's hard to guard against thieves." Huo Shaoting replied.
"The person who carried out the assassination is a person from the Qi Palace?" If so, it makes sense.
The man avoided the guards without knowing it, and went directly to the palace of the prince and the princess, who must be an undercover agent in the palace. But the other party did not intend to put the prince and princess to death, but to punish and admonish. The prince's arm was injured and the princess's waist was injured, but neither of them was fatal. After the incident, he set himself on fire at this moment, leaving behind a pile of black ashes, and he could not find the slightest clue. Huo Shaoting's eyebrows condensed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Small punishment, big commandment?" Su Tong really couldn't think of anyone who had the courage to warn Prince Qi, "Could it be the emperor?" "In the royal family, the friendship between brothers and sisters, in front of the throne and power, has become extremely fragile, replaced by mutual suspicion, slander, open guns and arrows, and rivers of blood. Prince Qi is now becoming more and more powerful in the court, which is very likely to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.
"Not the emperor." Huo Shaoting said firmly, "It's Annanhou." β
"Annanhou?" The small town of Anyang is adjacent to the territory of Annan, and Su Tong has naturally heard of the name of the Marquis of Annan. The strength of the Marquis of Annan is the weakest among the four princes, and the current Marquis has a gentle personality and does not hesitate to fight, and he is extremely submissive to the royal family of the Great Zhou, how could he do such a thing? "Vice General Huo, the Marquis of Annan is extremely weak, and it is not enough to protect himself, why do you want to take the initiative to attack and provoke the Qi Palace? Could it be that the Marquis of Annan and the prince of Qi have a grudge? β
"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you." Huo Shaoting stared at Su Tong, his eyes full of inquiry. Cheng Jialuo actually used the undercover agent buried in the Qi Palace's mansion for Su Tong, did he have other plans, or did he have a sincere attitude towards Su Tong? If it is the former, the land of the Great Zhou will cause a new round of turmoil, and if it is the latter, he will never let it go. The person he fancies, others don't want to covet.
"Something to do with me? Let's hear it. She Su Tong didn't think that she could have anything to do with the noble Marquis of Annan.
"Your fiancΓ©, Cheng Jialuo, is the eldest son of the Marquis of Annan." Huo Shaoting said.
Su Tong was stunned, how could Cheng Jialuo be the eldest son of the Marquis of Annan? But soon, she understood, her delicate brows were furrowed, Huo Shaoting would not lie to her, Cheng Jialuo's surname was Cheng, and Annanhou was also surnamed Cheng, Wei San, who was sent by Cheng Jialuo to send the letter of appointment, had an extraordinary bearing, not like an ordinary guard. In the living room that day, Su Yusheng was anxious to settle the family affair and give her to the Cheng family, so it seems that he already knew Cheng Jialuo's identity.
On the same day, Ji Qianchen came out and intervened sideways, marking "Γ" on the letter of appointment, and then the assassination of the Qi Palace, Ji Qianchen hurriedly returned to Beijing. Could it be, thinking of this, Su Tong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The Cheng family went to warn the Qi Wangfu for her?
"Vice Admiral Huo, I have nothing to do with him." Su Tong explained, "Although the letter of appointment was written by my father, it was full of loopholes. No matter how confused my father was, he couldn't have misremembered my age and name, and there were mistakes in both of those on the letter of appointment. "Since you promised to give him a chance, you have to talk about it.
Huo Shaoting's slightly frowning brows stretched out, and he hugged her into his arms, "I know." I'm not going to let you have anything to do with it. β
