717 treacherous

Lu Mansheng finally waited until dawn, but the Admiralty Tower did not come back.

She was worried that something had happened in the palace, and the third lady would not have gone well, otherwise the sixth prince would have come back by now.

The girl from Mingyue Fort brought a basin for Lu Mansheng, and the little girl was also waiting to groom her. Lu Mansheng declined, these things were all done by herself before.

"Did the girls eat together in the dining room, or in the room alone?" The clever little girl asked Lu Mansheng.

"It would have been nice to have a meal in the room...... Has your sixth young master returned to the castle? Lu Mansheng regretted it when he asked, if Jin Liugongzi came back, he would definitely tell her the news in the palace as soon as possible.

"The sixth young master didn't come back after he went to the palace last night. However, I heard news from the palace that the emperor's health is getting better. The sixth young grandmother is amazing, with her out of the horse, even the dead can be saved! ”

The little girl was obviously an admirer of their sixth young grandmother, and when she mentioned Wen Shu, her clever big eyes shone brightly.

Hearing that the emperor was out of danger, Lu Mansheng was also very happy. If Emperor Dayang really had an accident because of this, then it was very likely that the Dayao delegation would never be able to leave Linyang City again. The two countries will go to war, and the lives of the people will be ruined.

But Lu Mansheng quickly realized that there was a problem in this, if the emperor was really good, even if the third lady wanted to look at the emperor, the sixth prince should come back.

The Golden Bell Tower did not return to Mingyue Fort until noon, and the first thing to do when returning to the fort was to come over to see Lu Mansheng.

"Miss Lu must be in a hurry."

"How's the situation in the palace?"

"It's a little tricky, but Miss Lu doesn't need to worry too much, it is the fourth brother who is in charge of investigating this matter, and he will definitely handle it impartially and find out the truth. Shu'er has already asked the Queen Mother to let her meet Princess Yuling, maybe if she does, she will be able to know what happened to the assassination last night. ”

"Gong Xun...... I mean the Da Yao Mission, they should have been detained by Da Yang, right? ”

Jin Zhonglou nodded, all the civil and military officials saw Princess Yuling assassinate the emperor, no matter how innocent the Dayao delegation was, no one would believe it. There is no on-the-spot killing, which is already good. The old prime minister strongly recommended the queen mother, detain the person first, and after finding out the reason, it is not too late to send it down.

It is a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if there is really any misunderstanding, then this war cannot be avoided.

"Until the truth is known, Prince Dayao will not be in any danger, I can only say this." The Admiralty Tower was polite, and invited Lu Mansheng to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and then a girl came over with tea.

After pouring tea for the two of them, the girl withdrew.

Jin Zhonglou raised the teacup, took a slight sip, and then put it down.

"Miss Lu hasn't slept all night?"

"......" Although Jin Liugongzi can't see it, there is nothing to hide from him.

"By the way, the emperor's injury is really healed?"

Jin Zhonglou shook his head, "The wound in the heart and the poison in the body have caused serious complications. Shu'er said that the method of fighting poison with poison is too fierce, and the emperor's body may not be able to bear it. She wanted to develop an antidote in the shortest possible time, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, she concealed the emperor's illness. ”

And so it was.

A wave has just flattened and a wave has risen, only this time, more people have been involved. No one knows what the fate of Da Yao and Da Yang will be, they just hope that this will end as soon as possible, and the emperor's assassination case has other feelings.

After Lu Mansheng went back, he went to the Jinfu Inn. The Jinfu Inn is full of people, and the news is unimpeded, and the stupid boy on the left may already know about last night. She had to go and see him, so that he must not be impulsive at this time.

It's just that Yu Ling has an accident, how can he be calm?

From there to the left, it has been a long time coming.

"Miss Lu?" As soon as Lu Mansheng walked out of the Jinfu Inn, a little brother ran over with a letter in his hand. "A man asked me to hand you this letter, and you'll know what's going on when you read it."

"What does that guy look like?" Lu Mansheng was a little surprised, she didn't know many people in Linyang City, who would look for her at this time.

And in this way, it is obvious that I don't want to be known by more people.

"That guy is tall and cool. When the girl goes, she'll know who it is. ”

Lu Mansheng didn't ask any more, took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and handed it to the little brother. The little brother happily took the broken silver, nodded in thanks, and ran away.

Lu Mansheng opened the envelope, looked at it twice, and rushed to the meeting place agreed in the letter.

The person who asked her to meet at the old Jixiang store was Meng Lingdong, who was supposed to be with Gong Xun at this time and was detained by the Dayang Palace.

Lu Mansheng didn't know why Meng Lingdong was fine, he had been following Gong Xun, could it be that he had injured someone and escaped from the Dayang Palace?

Lu Mansheng then shook his head again, Meng Guards are steady, and they shouldn't do this. However, knowing that Meng Lingdong was safe and sound, Lu Mansheng was also very excited. Moreover, Brother Meng must have known what happened that night.

"Brother Meng-" After arriving at the old Jixiang store, Lu Mansheng really saw Meng Lingdong.

"Road girl!" Meng Lingdong saw Lu Mansheng and greeted him.

"Are you alright?"

"Miss Lu, come here." Meng Lingdong invited Lu Mansheng into the inner room, and when he spoke outside, it was still too dazzling, and he was afraid that the wall would have ears.

"Brother Meng is very familiar with the boss here."

"Don't hide it from the girl, the owner of the old Jixiang store is a fur merchant who went to Dayao a few years ago. encountered a robbery by mountain bandits, and at that time, I happened to go out of the palace to run errands, so I saved his life and asked for his things back. This time I came to Dayang, and I met ...... outside the palace by chance."

"I see, Brother Meng really knows all over the world." It is also fate to be able to meet a familiar person in this Linyang City.

"Miss Lu praised it falsely, I invited you to come, there is something I want to ask the girl to help with." Because of the urgency of the situation, Meng Lingdong got straight to the point.

"I also heard about the assassination of Emperor Dayang last night, and I heard that it was still done by Princess Yuling, what is going on?" And Meng Lingdong, how did he come out?

"I suspect that princess is a fake." Meng Lingdong's words were amazing.

But Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, if it could really be confirmed that the Yuling Princess was fake, then it could also mean that this matter had nothing to do with the Dayao Mission. They can change from perpetrators to victims, and perhaps only in this way can they really get out.

However, if that Feather Spirit is fake, then where is the real Feather Spirit Princess, and who is in charge of this series of things?

"Why do you say that?" They didn't know that she had already seen the matter of Yu Ling, and it was not impossible for the rude little princess, who was already very sad, to do something unthinking impulsively.

Meng Lingdong glanced at Lu Mansheng, and didn't know how to speak.

Lu Mansheng chuckled in his heart, realizing that she might have known about her going to the hostess.

"When did you find out?"

"Guessed." The third lady's arrangement was foolproof, and they really didn't find that Lu Mansheng had entered the welcome service. But the changes before and after the feather spirit still aroused their suspicions. Yu Ling is not an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, nor is he one of the women in the harem who is full of drama. She is still too young, although she is so clumsy that she wants to hide it, but in Gong Xun's eyes, she is full of flaws and loopholes.

Lu Mansheng knew that his previous feeling was not wrong. She really should have told Yu Ling a few more words, at least not so quickly there was a diametrically opposite change, in that case, even a fool could see the problem.

What's more, Gong Xun is not a fool, he is very smart and more alert than many people.

"Really? He already knew. She also thought that Gong Xun, who knew about this matter, would come to the door to ask her about the crime and ask her not to meddle in the affairs of the Dayao royal family.

But until now, including the time she met Gong Xun outside the welcome service, she didn't look at him showing a trace of strangeness. Even at that time, he hadn't gone back yet, and he didn't know what had happened to the hostess. After that, for more than a day, he didn't even appear, which really surprised Lu Mansheng.

Maybe he was busy entering the palace and didn't have the heart to understand her at all, or maybe he was sure that he could make Yu Ling obedient.

Lu Mansheng didn't know what was wrong with her, and she could think about anything in the corner. She's like a crazy woman with the horns of a bull, calculating, and it doesn't look like her at all.

Fortunately, she didn't say these words, otherwise, Meng Guard would have laughed at her.

"The third master didn't come to find Miss Lu, because he knew Miss Lu's distress. Miss Lu is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person, and she must not be able to accept that the lover is forced to separate. Seemingly knowing what Lu Mansheng was thinking, Meng Lingdong explained in a little anxious.

Lu Mansheng was a little surprised, and then smiled.

"I'm fine, he didn't ask for the guilt, I should be snickering, how can I mess around." But is this really the case, Lu Mansheng thinks, if Gong Xun forgives this matter, then deep in his heart, he also wants to fulfill these two people?

But now it's too late to say anything, he himself is in trouble, how can she criticize him for these things?

"Meng Guard talked about the fake feather spirit, what happened later?"

"It's just speculation at the moment, does Miss Lu still remember the long-missing Princess Xining in the Dayao Palace?"

"Xining? Of course I do. "When the Golden Silk Gu Poison was rampant in the Dayao Palace, Princess Xining disappeared and her whereabouts were unknown. There was a fake feather spirit at the beginning, but Xie Xiaoji found out that the person was pretending, otherwise Miss Wang and they would have to bear the responsibility of killing Princess Dayao.

The Golden Silk Gu poison case was solved, but the little princess was not recovered, Emperor Yucheng has been looking for this princess, but more than three years have passed, and there has been no news at all.

Many people in the palace are talking about the fact that Princess Xining is likely to have died a long time ago. Otherwise, for so long, there will be no news coming?

If the other party catches Xining and doesn't kill her, it must be to ask Xining to help her achieve something. Then the Dayao Palace should have received the news a long time ago. But no, Xining evaporated from the world after she disappeared, and she was a princess of a country, so there was no news, and I am afraid that she would not know where she died a long time ago.

But here, hearing the name of Princess Xining means that Princess Xining is not dead, and she is very likely to have come to Linyang City.

"A few days ago, the third master found some clues, there is a hidden force that is obstructing and sabotaging our entry into Linyang City."

"Did you encounter an obstacle on the way?"

"That's not true, but the third master found that since we left the Dayao Palace, someone has been secretly watching us. They have not taken action, and the third master asked everyone to go on the road with peace of mind and not to startle the snake. On the other hand, send out hidden guards to follow and counter-track and find out their identities. ”

"What did you find?"

"Unfortunately, everything went well ahead, but just as the guards were about to follow them to their lair, the man was suddenly killed. I think it was the mastermind behind the scenes, and when he noticed that someone was following, he cut off our clues. ”

"But what does this have to do with Princess Xining?"

"It was almost when I arrived in Linyang City, and that person appeared again. The third master used a trick to make the man think that he was still in the room, and he secretly left the room. Following him all the way, the man came to the outskirts, where he saw a woman in a black dress and a silver mask. ”

Lu Mansheng was listening.

Because the distance was too far, the third master didn't hear what they were talking about. He only saw the woman, who held up two poisonous needles in her hand and plunged them into the body of the man opposite, and the man was killed. The third master found that the woman's back and movements were very familiar, like the princess Xining who had disappeared for nearly three years. You know, Princess Xining is the royal sister of the third master, and no one knows her better than the third master. The third master believes that his eyes will not be wrong. ”

Lu Mansheng was silent.

That's right, if you don't have at least seventy percent certainty, Gong Xun won't say Xining's name. After all, it would have been cruel to convince them that Xining was living in the world in this way.

They don't want to believe that the lively and lovely little princess Xining has become such a murderous and mysterious person. If you can not blink your eyes, you will take a person's life.

"And then?"

The third master came back, and he didn't want to be noticed by that person, so he returned to the post house first.

After that, the third master and I never smelled that woman's breath again.

Masters have a keen instinct, and some people, even if they don't notice them coming, have their smell in the air. There is no need for a cause, but a judgment that has been made over many years.

"But just yesterday, the third master smelled that smell again."

"Where?"

"It's on top of the state dinner." Meng Lingdong recalled that scene, "The third master realized that something was wrong, and just wanted to make a move, he grabbed the woman unconsciously. You know, if she is an impostor, it means that the real Princess Yuling is still in her hands, and the third master does not dare to startle the snake. He told me to leave the palace and go back to the hostess, to see if the princess was still hidden by her. He stayed here, staring at the woman. However, just before the third master could make a move, the woman actually shot Emperor Dayang madly. Her sleeve arrows are also quenched with poison—"

That's why Meng Lingdong can still stand here now. (To be continued.) )
