After talking with the Duke of Wei for almost an hour, Xu Shuxuan walked out of his father's study, and at this time, it was already half past the night, and Nan Chu was still standing with his arms crossed outside the door waiting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Shuxuan said a word of apology, and was ready to go back to the Tingyu Building with Nan Chu to rest, but who knew that the two of them were halfway through, Xu Mingyan suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, she glanced at Xu Shuxuan shyly and timidly, and without saying a word, she knelt down to him suddenly, and said with a little crying in her voice: "I'm sorry, big brother, today's matter, Mingyan did something wrong, how the eldest brother wants to punish me, I have no complaints, I just ask the eldest brother to forgive me!" ”

Although they don't know what Xu Mingyan's apology is, they all know about the fact that she betrayed the news of Mo Xuan's trip to the Tongzhou Grand Canal to the Japanese today.

Nan Chu is naturally indignant and disdainful of this woman, Xu Shuxuan's eyes have never fallen on this woman since he stepped into the mansion, for him, there are some things that are clear in his heart, he doesn't want to say it or make a fuss that can't be ended.

"What does today's matter have to do with you?" He smiled indifferently and asked.

Xu Mingyan felt a joy in his heart, and thought with a fluke mentality: Maybe the eldest brother didn't know about her betraying him? Maybe it's really her own worries and scared. But listening to everything in the rain building, she must also give a reasonable explanation first.

"Big brother, Ming Yan is just ...... It's just that I'm too worried about your safety, so I was in a hurry and told my mother the news of your disappearance, I didn't know that my mother would be so angry and take all the people in the rain building to vent her anger......"

Before Xu Mingyan finished speaking, Xu Shuxuan's face sank, and he no longer paid attention to Xu Mingyan's crying, he called Nan Chu and strode towards the Tingyu Building.

"Big brother-" Xu Mingyan shouted unwillingly, "Do you really want to marry Yang Aling?" ”

Xu Shuxuan's footsteps paused slightly, and he actually heard her ask again: "Big brother, if you really love her, you shouldn't marry her, do you know what her mother will do to her if she marries into our Guogong Mansion?" What will these concubines in the Guogong Mansion do to her, she is just a girl who can't even reach the house, how can she know how to survive in a huge wealthy noble, and how can she be a clan wife? ”

Xu Mingyan's words fell, Xu Shuxuan actually felt the pain in his heart as if it had been suddenly torn, he also turned around abruptly and glanced at Xu Mingyan, this eye was as cold as an ice blade cutting through seven feet, which made Xu Mingyan tremble.

"Big brother......" she whispered again, and the confession words she had already thought of in her heart could no longer be said.

"What if...... If you really like this girl, I can help you get her, it doesn't have to be ...... I have to marry her! She pursed her lips.

Xu Shuxuan's eyes were even colder, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Xu Mingyan with a very disgusted and cold look for a moment, then turned around and walked straight towards the Tingyu Building with Nan Chu.

As soon as he entered the Tingyu Building, he saw several maids lying on the ground and cleaning up the mess, and the anger in Xu Shuxuan's heart could no longer be suppressed-this is the warning and lesson that the woman gave him, just like more than ten years ago.

Nan Chu picked up Qin'er, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and after asking some questions, he called two mothers-in-law who were not seriously injured to give her medicine.

The servants and maids in the entire listening rain building are cautious and honestly afraid, and in the dead of night, this courtyard is even more deathly silent.

This night, Xu Shuxuan couldn't sleep at all, he stroked his forehead and sat in the wheelchair in the study for a long, long time.

Xu Mingyan's words were undoubtedly a sharp blade, and they were still scratching his heart again and again: in fact, he didn't think about those problems, and it was because he expected these problems at first, so he didn't dare to propose to her, but now, the difficulties she faced were far more terrible than these battles in the back house.

He didn't want her to fight alone, and he didn't want him to even be by her side to protect her if she was in danger in the future. When she said that he was the one she wanted to marry the most, he went through a fierce and painful struggle in his heart before he finally convinced himself that he had made this decision - running away would not solve anything!

But could it really be the right decision?

"Shizi, why haven't you slept yet, are you still worried about today's events?" Nan Chu saw that the candlelight in his room had not been extinguished for a long time, and couldn't help but come in and ask.

Xu Shuxuan shook his head and only said, "It's okay!" Then he seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, why hasn't Mo Xuan come back yet?" ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Nan Chu's face, he pondered for a moment, and found a reason to reply: "The fifth young master has always been naughty, maybe where to play again!" ”

Xu Shuxuan saw that his expression was wrong, so he asked, "Brother Chu, do you have something to hide from me?" Did something happen to Mo Xuan? ”

"No, no, no!" Nan Chu was afraid that he would be worried, so he hurriedly replied, "The fifth young master was a little injured today, but Miss Yang gave him some medicine, and after using it, it was much better, but it was just ...... It's just that he saw Shizi and Miss Yang......"

Having said that, Xu Shuxuan has understood everything, Mo Xuan's feelings for Ah Ling, he sees it all, once he also wanted Mo Xuan to marry Ah Ling, but now, Mo Xuan's identity will be exposed at any time, and there may be a large number of killers behind him, Ah Ling Ruo follows him......

"Shizi, don't worry, the fifth young master has an open-minded and cheerful temperament, he will be fine, and he himself said that he is not a person who can't afford to let go, as long as the eldest young master and Miss Yang are happy!"

Nan Chu didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Xu Shuxuan felt even more uncomfortable.

"Nan Chu, although we now have the evidence that Yan Fan framed the Jiang family, but this is very unfavorable to Mo Xuan, I am afraid that Lu Bing may attack him at any time, so I ......"

Xu Shuxuan looked up at him and said with a solemn expression: "From today on, no matter where he goes, a group of people will be sent to secretly protect him!" ”

When Nan Chu heard this, his expression became more and more worried.

"Good!" He hurriedly replied, "I'll send someone to find the Fifth Young Master immediately!" ”

Just as he was about to go out, he paused again, turned around and asked, "Shizi, will Lu Bing really send Concubine Xiang and Mrs. Yang to the Anguo Mansion?" If he repents......"

Before Nan Chu finished speaking, Xu Shuxuan interrupted: "No!" ”

He smiled and continued: "Lu Bing is the most afraid of the emperor, and he is also reprimanded by his conscience, in fact, he doesn't want Concubine Xiang to stay by the emperor's side all the time, because he knows that if this development continues, his sword will sooner or later fall on Concubine Xiang's head, or on the emperor's head." ”

"It was a very difficult choice for him!"

*****

Lu Bing also couldn't sleep this night, and when he stayed in the study until three o'clock, he finally couldn't stay up, gathered a group of secret guards in the mansion, sneaked into the Guangning Bo Mansion, and took advantage of everyone to fall asleep, after Jiang Ling and Yang Qiuxuan were stunned with incense, they were taken out in a sack.

At this time, the Anguo Mansion also fell into the silence of the night.

Han Ling has been anxiously waiting for news from him since he was sent back to Anguo Mansion by the people sent by Xu Shuxuan, and even sent someone to the vicinity of Lu Mansion to inquire on the way, until she heard her subordinates say that Xu Shizi had come out of Lu Mansion safely, and a big stone fell in her heart.

However, even when she learned that he was safe and sound, and had returned to the Wei Mansion, she was still so excited that she couldn't sleep.

Halfway through the night, the wind rustled the sycamore leaves in the Tinglan Garden, and Han Ling couldn't help but smile as he looked at the crescent moon in the starry sky.

Although the moon is no longer in the willow tree, it can still lead people to reverie, at this moment her heart is nervous, panicked, but also sweet, she doesn't know why she lost her mind like she was dizzy at that moment, and took the initiative to kiss the eldest young master, and the eldest young master seemed to be ...... to her

She never dared to imagine this, although she often served by the side of the eldest young master in her previous life, she always maintained the awe between the master and servant, at that time she felt that the eldest young master was so unattainable, a person worthy of respect and not blasphemous, so she never dared to think that she would really marry him one day, until today, he said such a sentence to her personally.

"Miss, the frost and dew are heavy at night, why did you come outside, don't catch a cold!" Mama Yu walked up behind her at some point and draped a light blue cloak over her shoulders.

Han Ling turned his head and looked at Mama Yu and smiled: "Mama is worrying, where am I so delicate!" Besides, in the past few years, I have also exercised, and I am not as easy to get sick as I was when I was a child! ”

Speaking of Han Ling's childhood, Mama Yu's heart was sour, and she soon remembered her wife who she hadn't seen for seven years, and now she learned that her wife had returned to Guangningbo's mansion, and that something like that had happened in the mansion again, she was a little uneasy in her heart!

"Mama, I know what you're thinking, my mother should be back soon!" Seeing that Mama Yu's face was full of sadness, Han Ling said with a smile.

"How does Miss know?" Mama Xu couldn't help asking, thinking again, this was a child's wish, how could she bear to break it, so she smiled again, "Miss is right, Madame will definitely come back!" ”

Han Ling nodded vigorously, although she was also a little uneasy in her heart, but she just believed his words, and believed that he could make her mother and Aunt Qingluo return to her!

Just as she was thinking this, there was the sound of clothes fluttering in the night wind, and a crimson figure jumped over the courtyard wall, and after a few jumps, it landed in front of her.

Han Ling saw that it was Xi Yan, the leader of the secret guards she had sent to Guangning Bo Mansion to secretly protect her mother and Aunt Qingluo, and Xi Yan was stroking an injured arm, and there was a look of panic on her face, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Sister Xiyan? ”

The woman in scarlet clothes fell to the ground on one knee, and replied ashamedly: "I'm sorry, miss, the errand you gave to Xiyan, Xiyan didn't do it well, just now at three o'clock in the afternoon, the assassin broke into the room of Madame and Xiangfei Niangniang, when we went to save Madame, but we didn't expect Lu Bing to suddenly come to Guangningbo's Mansion and ordered all the Jinyi guards to round up us, we were outnumbered, and there was no way to break out of the encirclement to save Madame......"

Han Ling was stunned when he heard this: Assassin? Could it be the assassin sent by Lu Yanzhao according to her plan?

"Didn't Lu Bing send someone to chase my mother and Aunt Qingluo back? He only ordered the Jinyi Guard to round you up, not the assassin? Han Ling asked in surprise.

Xi Yan also felt strange, thinking back to the situation at the time, although the scene was very chaotic, Lu Bing really didn't seem to have any intention of chasing the assassin back!

"It's not good, Lu Bing's move is to let you be the scapegoat of the assassin, how many of you have fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei?" Han Ling asked anxiously.

Xiyan lowered her head, hiding a trace of sadness in her expression.

"None of them fell into the hands of the Jinyi Guard, and the sisters who did not escape have all died under their swords!" She replied.

Han Ling couldn't help but take a step back, these women were all helpless and lonely people, although they were trained as secret guards, but she had never let them perform such a dangerous mission, but she didn't expect that this was just activated, and they lost their lives!

"How many people died?" Han Ling asked again.

After a moment of silence, Xiyan replied, "Half of the secret guards I led have been lost, and there are thirteen people in total!" ”

When he heard this number, Han Ling's face turned pale, and he was even more uncomfortable and speechless, at this moment, there seemed to be a noisy sound outside the courtyard, Han Ling's heart tightened, and he immediately raised his steps and rushed out to the outside of Tinglan Garden, Mama Yu shouted anxiously, "Miss!" He also hurriedly chased after Han Ling.

When Han Ling came to the front yard, he saw that the fourth uncle Yang Mingyu and the fifth uncle Yang Mingxuan were already standing in front of the door in their robes.

Yang Mingyu only arrived in the capital today, and Han Ling also met with his fourth uncle after returning to the Anguo Mansion.

When the fourth uncle first arrived in the capital, he had already entered the palace to see the driver, and later went to the mansion, and he finally rested for a while, but he didn't expect to be awakened by this noise.

Han Ling walked quickly to Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingxuan, each called "Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle", and then asked a little guy guarding the door, "What's going on?" Who are the people out there? ”

The noise came from outside the door, although there was a door, but the shouting outside was extremely clear, it was nothing more than shouting: "Open the door, open the door, we adults want to see the prince of An Guo and Lord Yang Wulang!" ”

"Ah Ling, what are you doing here? Go back to sleep! Yang Mingyu saw that it was her niece who also ran out, in the middle of the night, although she was well-dressed, it was not good for people to see it, not to mention that the person who came was not good!

Looking at the fourth uncle's serious face, but his eyes were full of doting, Han Ling said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, I'm fine!" Then he asked the little guy, "Is it Jinyiwei?" ”

The little guy looked apprehensive, and immediately lowered his head and replied: There has always been only one possibility for Jinyiwei to visit the mansion of the ministers of the DPRK and China at night, and that is to bring people to prison! Therefore, if the person who came was Jinyiwei, it means that this family is not far from ruin!

The little guy was still thinking in fear, so he shouted to him as if he heard Han Ling's order: "Ah Shun, go and open the door!" ”

"Huh? Table...... Miss Watch, it's a brocade guard outside! Ah Shun exclaimed.

Han Ling said with a straight face: "I know that the person who came is not only the Jinyi Guard, but also the commander and the Lord Jinyi Guard to visit the door in person, this door must be opened!" ”

The little guy hesitated, and looked at Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingxuan in confusion and fear.

Yang Mingyu looked at Han Ling with a little surprise, and then ordered Ah Shun solemnly: "Go and open the door!" ”

Only then did the little guy muster up the courage to walk to the door, took off the bolt, and after the iron door was opened to both sides, he saw Lu Bing wearing an ink-colored brocade robe standing at the front of a brocade guard.

"Lord Lu visited my Anguo Mansion in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" Yang Mingyu took the lead in asking.

Lu Bing laughed and asked rhetorically: "Didn't General Yang and Lord Yang invite me to the mansion to talk?" ”

Yang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and said politely: "Please!" ”

Lu Bing walked in with a smile, he gestured behind him, and all the brocade guards stopped.

"General Yang has just arrived in the capital, the journey is tiring, must be physically and mentally exhausted, I shouldn't have come to bother so late, however, someone is struggling, I have to take advantage of the night to send two big gifts in advance!"

After speaking, he applauded, and the two brocade guards each walked behind him with a huge black bag on their backs, and then at his suggestion, they threw the two bags at Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingxuan.

Han Ling's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of something, ran to Yang Mingyu, and untied the black bag he received.

Yang Mingyu was surprised to see a beautiful face emerge from the bag, although this face was already very unfamiliar to him, he also guessed something, and hurriedly shouted to Lu Bing: "Lord Lu, what are you doing here?" (To be continued.) )
