Because the night returned to bring back food, the shortage of food in Huajing City was solved in time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition, under the influence of the Luo family and the Dajue Temple, many noble families have more or less opened positions to give alms, which has greatly alleviated the problem of food for refugees.

The fourth prince, Mo Xiao, also went south with the holy decree and silver, and the aftermath of the city was also being carried out in an orderly manner, and it seemed that everything was developing in a good direction.

Only then did Emperor Qiyang finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer feel nervous every day.

And in Luofu, which was supposed to be peaceful, something happened again.

In the early morning of August 27, the sun and the square rose, and the damp breath of the days seemed to be slowly dispelled by the warm sun.

Luofu was over, and the Zhao family remembered that the Ye family had been tired for the past few days, thinking that he would have nothing to do after breakfast, so he planned to go to Jiying Hall to see the Ye family.

As soon as he walked outside the gate of Jiyingtang, he heard someone whispering at the corner on the left side of the courtyard wall.

Listening to the voice, it was two little girls gossiping, Zhao was in a good mood, and he didn't care too much, but as soon as he was about to raise his feet and enter the gate of Jiying Hall, he heard the words that made her heart tighten.

"I heard, the eldest young master is going to be bad?" A little girl whispered.

Her voice was indeed not loud, but it just happened to reach the ears of the Zhao family clearly.

As soon as Zhao heard her say that the eldest young master, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Mama Zhao saw that Zhao's face had changed, so she wanted to stop the two "nonsense" girls, but was stopped by Zhao's raised hand, and Mama Zhao had to retract her feet and stand behind Zhao.

Then they heard another little girl exclaim, "Ah, how is that possible? You're talking nonsense! ”

The maid who spoke earlier hurriedly said: "Don't believe it, I heard this from the waiter in the eldest young master's courtyard, she said that the eldest young master suddenly became bad last night." ”

"Isn't the eldest young master in the guard camp on the outskirts of Beijing, is it because he was injured in training?" The little girl who spoke later was still skeptical.

"You don't know this, let me tell you, the eldest young master has never gotten out of bed since he was beaten by the second master, this is specially ordered by the grandfather and Mrs. Guo, and the people of Jiyingtang are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, just for fear that the old lady will know and worry, I will tell you a few words because we have a good relationship, it stands to reason that the person was beaten by the second master, the eldest young master is his own nephew, how should there be anything, who knows, the eldest young master has not been well, I thought that no matter what, it is a skin injury, and it can always be good, But who knew that the eldest young master suddenly died last night, and the servant said that the grandfather, his wife and the eldest lady were all in the eldest young master's house, and they didn't sleep all night, and now they are still in the eldest young master's courtyard and haven't come back. ”

When Zhao heard this, how could he still hold on, and he hurriedly walked a few steps and arrived behind the two little girls.

Mama Zhao was instructed by the Zhao family and said sharply: "Which courtyard are you girls from, where did you hear these things, talking nonsense here!" ”

The two little girls were talking together in a whisper, and suddenly heard Mama Zhao's voice, and was so frightened that half of her life was about to go, and when she turned around, she saw Zhao again, and immediately knelt down.

"The old lady forgives her sins, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore."

At this time, Zhao and the others saw these two little girls clearly.

Mama Zhao looked at it carefully, and whispered in Zhao's ear: "It's Jin Ling in the eldest lady's courtyard and An Lan in the second young master's room." ”

As soon as Zhao heard their identities, he immediately believed most of their words.

The one who spoke first was the little girl in Luo Qing's dyeing courtyard, named Jin Ling, and the one behind was the girl of Luo Hanguang, the sister-in-law of the third room, named An Lan.

Although this Jin Ling is not a personal girl who serves closely, but in addition to such a big thing in Jiyingtang, it is impossible for her to know nothing.

Besides, according to the meaning of her words, Luo Zheng and his wife had ordered the people in Jiyingtang to keep their mouths shut and not allowed to spread the news randomly, but the little girls at the bottom got together, don't they like to talk about gossip about their own children.

This matter is not a big deal, but the thing in their mouths is definitely not small, and they were "accidentally" bumped into by the Zhao family, so it is difficult to say.

Zhao's heart was a little confused, and a thought flashed through her, so fast that she didn't have time to catch it, but she didn't have the heart to think about it now, whether it was true or not, she just had to go and see it in person.

However, these two girls...

"Liangchen, show the two of them to me first, criticize the master in private, and clean them up when I go back." Zhao ordered Liangchen with a calm face.

"Yes, old lady." Liangchen softly responded to Zhao's words, and led people to escort Jin Ling and An Lan away.

And the Zhao family took Mama Zhao and Meijing and others straight to Luo Qingchen's courtyard.

As soon as I entered, I saw that the courtyard of the Shengping Building was quiet, and there was no trace of people.

Zhao believed the words of the two girls just now, and did not let Mama Zhao call anyone, so the master and servant walked quietly to Luo Qingchen's room.

As soon as I walked to the door of the main room, I heard a faint sobbing sound from inside.

Then I heard Luo Zheng say: "Madam is relieved, I have already asked Luo Zhong to invite Brother Shangguan, although he is busy these days, but when he sees Luo Zhong, he will definitely come over quickly." ”

Zhao listened attentively for a while, but he didn't hear Ye and the others reply, but the sound of sobbing was still obvious.

Then he listened to Luo Zheng's orders, "Listen well, no one is allowed to say anything about today's events, if anyone talks too much to let the old lady know, I will definitely not be able to spare her!" ”

After listening to these words, Zhao was already very sure of the words of the two girls just now, hurriedly pushed open the door, and raised his feet into the house.

As soon as I entered, I saw that Luo Zheng and his wife and Luo Qingran were there, and Ye was still sitting on the chair and sobbing quietly, and the family was sad and miserable, so they were not sad.

Zhao's figure flickered, but fortunately he was supported by Mama Zhao.

"What's the matter, what are you hiding from me? What happened to Qingchen? ”

"Mother...... You, how did you get here! Luo Zheng was obviously taken aback by Zhao's sudden appearance, and hurriedly stood up from his chair.

Ye Shi and Luo Qingran were also frightened, and stood up one after the other.

The three of them all looked stunned and looked at Zhao.

Zhao glared at Luo Zheng, "You said, I don't know what you told them just now!" ”

"Mother, this... Nothing, how did you get here. Luo Zheng's gaze dodged unnaturally.

With the way he looked, Zhao didn't need to ask again, and was even more sure of the authenticity of what he heard just now.

I didn't ask, I raised my feet and walked to the inner room.

Luo Zheng and the others didn't dare to stop it, and Zhao walked into Luo Qingchen's bedroom without a few steps.

As soon as I entered, I smelled the strong smell of medicine in the inner room, but even so, it was difficult to hide the faint smell of blood.

Qiu Wen knelt on the footsteps in front of Luo Qingchen's bed, and was crying while wiping Luo Qingchen's cold sweat. (To be continued.) )
