In Du Fuzhong, Ling Chuimeng walked into Du Yan's study with a ginseng soup, which was filled with incense, and Du Yan sat behind the bookcase and slowly wiped his beloved sword. His right hand was already wrapped in a white bandage, and there was nothing he could do about the wound on his face, and a distinct scratch was visible.

"Husband." Ling Chuimeng called, Du Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her, continued to wipe his sword, and said with a dull expression: "What's the matter?" ”

Ling Chuimeng put down the ginseng soup, opened the lid to dry, and said in a careful tone: "Husband, you came back from an injury yesterday, and today you avoided the court, and the concubine is worried about you." ”

Recalling yesterday's scene, Du Yan's eyebrows were full of depression, he lowered his eyes to cover up, and his handsome face was printed with a sword light, cold and awe-inspiring. He said, "I'm fine. ”

Ling Chui dreamed that he was not in the mood to speak, so he knew that he was going to leave, so he told him to remember to drink the soup, and then bowed and slowly left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he met Xie Yuanzhi head-on, and the two women were stunned, and then Xie Yuanzhi had a cold face, and without saying a word, he bypassed her to go in.

Ling Chuimeng took the initiative to call out to her: "Madam, please stay." ”

Xie Yuanzhi stood still, but didn't look at her, and said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

Ling Chuimeng looked at the study behind him with a worried face, and said, "Madame, do you know, what happened to the adult?" ”

Xie Yuanzhi snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you?" You just take care of yourself. ”

Ling Chui dreamed that she was going to leave again, and hurriedly said, "Madame's words are wrong!" ”

Xie Yuanzhi glared at her sideways: "What do you want to do?" ”

Ling Chuimeng took a few steps closer and said earnestly: "Madam, everyone is worried about adults, just for the sake of adults. The concubine didn't want to ask more, but the adult's injury was really strange, and the injury on the face was clearly injured by a woman, which is not trivial, and we have to figure out many things. ”

Xie Yuanzhi listened, sneered and squinted at her: "That's it, in fact, it's not a big deal to tell you." You guessed right, the adult's injury was indeed injured by the woman, and it was still injured by the queen's own hand. What do you think? Now that this understanding has been given to you, what can you do? ”

Ling Chuimeng was surprised when he heard this: "Madam, is what you said true?" This...... Why did the queen hurt the adult? ”

Xie Yuanzhi said angrily: "This is the old enmity between our couple and her, when she planned to kill the adult's sister in Beiyue, now this matter has been spread to Nanqian, the adult finally learned the truth, so he asked me to go back to the house first, and I went to see the queen, and when I came back, I was injured, who did it, do you need to say?" ”

Ling Chuimeng suddenly realized and nodded slowly: "I see." Oops ma'am! In that case, wouldn't we adults offend this new queen? That's not a good thing! ”

Xie Yuanzhi was also worried, and said with a gloomy face: "Things are already like this, it's useless to say anything, let's go and see." ”

But the world is often afraid of what comes! As a result, that night, Du Fu encountered assassins! The assassin went straight to Du Yan and Xie Yuanzhi's bedroom, stunned the two guards, and broke through the window with a bang! With a knife, he approached the bed!

Du Yan was born as a military general, and he has always had sharp ears and eyes, and he was extremely alert, so he immediately woke up, drew his sword at the head of the bed, and fought the black-clothed masked assassin.

Suddenly, in the dim dormitory, there was a sword light, iron weapons clanged, and fierce sparks were sparked when they struck!

Listening to such movement in the dark night is earth-shattering! Xie Yuanzhi and the young girl also woke up from the dream, the young girl cried non-stop, Xie Yuanzhi saw the situation in the room, and her heart was terrified, and she screamed and hugged the young girl.

In the dimness, the two figures were still fighting in a chaotic manner, and sparks were flying in the room, booming loudly! Du Yan's power is infinite, and every move he makes will be ruined no matter where he falls! The assassin barely blocked a few moves before he could parry, and finally made a false move and quickly retreated and fled! Du Yan followed closely and hurriedly caught up! However, when he just chased him, he didn't know what he suddenly thought, and he gave up the pursuit in a hurry, and at this moment, his cold and frosty handsome face was filled with a complex and difficult color, and then he watched the black shadow escape in the night.

The murderous aura in his body gradually receded, only solemn and cold, he stopped for a long time in the night, finally collected all his emotions, and finally turned back to his room.

When the lights were lit, the room was in shambles.

Xie Yuanzhi's face turned pale with fright, and at the moment she was frightened, holding her daughter who had just been coaxed, sitting on the bed with tears rippling.

"Husband, it's the queen! It must have been the queen's doing! The husband asked her to ask for guilt, and she finally couldn't tolerate us as a couple! ”

Du Yan was putting his sword back into the sheath, and when he heard this, the movements in his hand paused slightly, and the complicated and difficult look when he was chasing the assassin flashed away from his handsome face, and finally, he said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence." ”

Xie Yuanzhi was silent in tears, but she was doubting him in her heart, do you not want to believe it or do you not want to face it?

......

The next day, the assassination spread in Du's mansion, which was something that could not be concealed at all.

As soon as Ling Chuimeng learned of this, he immediately went to the study to visit Du Yan, and after being gentle and considerate, he left, and then went to the courtyard where Xie Yuanzhi had newly moved.

The people were busy cleaning around and moving things in, Xie Yuanzhi was sitting under the pear tree in the courtyard with a heavy heart, and when she heard someone calling Mrs., she turned her head and saw Ling Chuimeng saluting her with red eyes, looking like she was going to cry or not.

Xie Yuanzhi frowned, and said angrily: "What's wrong with you?!" ”

Ling Chuimeng looked worried and scared, and said in a sad tone: "Madam, the concubine is really afraid, the assassination of her husband last night, I'm afraid it's not simple." The concubine is already a person from Du Mansion, and everything she thinks about is for Du Mansion, and now that her husband has encountered this incident, the concubine is really flustered. ”

Even though her words entered Xie Yuanzhi's heart, Xie Yuanzhi didn't bother to take care of her feelings and appease her mood, so she sent her away without saltiness: "Just your heart and eyes are full of troubles!" What to do, what to do! Even if the Du family is falling, there are still adults on top of it! It's easy to hit you! ”

Ling Chuimeng didn't get a good word, wiped his tears and bowed and left.

At lunchtime, Xie Yuanzhi went to Du Yan's study with the food box as usual, but as she walked, she suddenly heard a man's low cry from behind the rockery in the forest by the roadside, mixed with the woman's voice!

Xie Yuanzhi felt weird, so he handed over the food box to the attendant, and he entered the forest lightly, stopping at this end of the rockery to eavesdrop.

However, this time, I heard Ling Chaimeng's voice.

I only heard Ling Chuimeng say bitterly: "Cong'an, don't cry, I have no choice but to make this decision." Alas, you have been working in my Ling family for many years, and my father recognized you as loyal, so when I married Du Fu, my father specially asked you to come with me to protect me, and now I really want to use you for the sake of the overall situation. ”

The man sobbed softly.

Ling Chuimeng said earnestly: "Cong'an, I really can't help it, I have married Du Mansion, I have to put my husband first, now that the adult has offended the queen mother, I am already flustered about this, but who knows that the adult was assassinated again last night, who did this self-evident!" So right now, preserving this Du Mansion is the top priority! But I went to Madame's yard early in the morning to discuss ideas with her, but Madame has always disliked me, and you know it. ”

"After I came back, I finally came up with a clever plan to protect Du Mansion! No matter how powerful the queen is, there is still His Majesty pressing on her, as we all know, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, even if she sheltered the queen in every way before, isn't it all because it is all false things with no evidence? Of course, His Majesty is willing to protect her. But in the matter of the assassination of my lord, as long as we come up with real evidence, Your Majesty will make the decision for us! ”

"Then now in order to protect Du Mansion, we can only strike first. That's why I want you to pretend to be the assassin of last night, and you have been captured, and then, I will tie you up and go to the palace to meet Your Majesty, and then, I will have my proper set of statements, and what you have to do is to insist in front of Your Majesty that it was the Queen Mother who instructed you to assassinate the husband, and even if Your Majesty tortures you, you must not change your words, in this way, the evidence is ironclad, even if Your Majesty does not annoy the Queen, you will secretly protect your courtiers, and then with Your Majesty's protection, our Du Mansion has not escaped the clutches of the Queen? ”

"As for the adults, for the time being, we want to hide it, even if we tell the adults about this clever plan, the adults will not act according to the plan, let alone agree with us to do so. First, if you have such a good face, how can you be embarrassed to make trouble in front of Your Majesty because of a woman? Isn't it that the monarchs and ministers can't hang their faces and can't get off the stage? So this thing is for us women to come forward to do it, we will hide it from adults, you know, these many things are not easy for men to do, then we women have to take out our courage to relieve men's worries, just as a vase to eat and hang out What is the charm? ”

The man's crying gradually stopped: "You have all the truth! Lord Ling is kind to the villain, and the villain followed you to Du Mansion, and he will be a cow and a horse for you, and the villain also understands that the villain has to hold the heart of death, so he can't help but cry for a while, but the villain will do it for you! ”

Ling Chuimeng was relieved: "Good from An! I thank you in advance for your life! As long as this is done, it will be a great achievement to save the adult from the queen! In the future, adults are not allowed to hold me and offer me? ”

The man said in a firm tone: "The villain listens to you!" You have such good intentions for adults, and when this credit is established, the adults will be very moved when they know about it, and they will definitely put you on the top of their hearts from now on! Then it's worth it for the villain to die! ”

"Good! Let's go see Mrs. now, according to the rules, only the official wives of the third grade and above, and they are still in the main room, there will be two opportunities to enter the palace every month, so we will borrow Mrs.'s pass book to enter the palace. But in this matter, as soon as the meritorious service is said by the adults, let's not make it clear, and the lady will dislike me more and more. ”

When Xie Yuanzhi on the rockery heard this, he hurriedly lightened his steps and quickly withdrew to the road, took the food box in the hand of the maid, and pretended to have nothing to do and went to Du Yan's study.
