Chapter 311: Attempted Assassination

"Mother Gong, I have one more question for you." Liu Mengyan said.

"Princess, please speak!" Gong's mother said.

"If I asked you to see Xiao Xiaowan, would you be able to identify her?" Liu Mengyan said.

"The old slave is willing to try. Although three years have passed, the old slave has a deep impression of the Xiao sisters. Gong's mother said.

Liu Mengyan nodded, and after a few more idle words with Gong's mother, she let her go back.

"Princess, it's not early, the slave maid is waiting for you to wash!" Bitong saw her sitting there without speaking, so she said.

"Bitong, how can I take my mother and Qingde out?" Liu Mengyan sighed and said. In this case, she can only tell Bitong and these maids. Just now, she wanted to tell Gong's mother about it, but in the end she didn't speak.

"If the old man suddenly goes to another place to take office, or the old man leaves home, and the princess takes the wife and the young master over, then no one dares to say anything no." Bitong Road.

A bright light flashed in Liu Mengyan's mind, and she said to Bitong: "You are right! ”

"Princess, but the lord has done a good job as an official in the capital, how can he go elsewhere?" Bitong Road.

"Isn't spring beginning! After the spring, it is the dispatch of officials. Liu Mengyan said.

"What does the princess mean to let the lord be transferred?" Bitong Road.

Liu Mengyan nodded, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Late at night, Liu Mengyan asked the maid to wait for her to wash up, and then went to bed.

In the middle of the night, she was sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

"Come on, come on, the Guilan Courtyard where the princess lives is out of the water......"

In the sound of gongs and drums, the maids and grandmothers who had already slept in the courtyard were so busy putting on their coats that they were rushing towards the smoking place in a hurry.

Bitong and Qiu Yun, who were keeping vigil in the house, woke up vigilantly, looked at the dim light of the fire in the window, and immediately got up and put on their clothes.

"Bitong, what's going on outside?" With such a big movement, Liu Mengyan naturally woke up, raised her hand and lifted the bed curtain and asked.

Bi Tong hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Princess, the wind is cold in the middle of the night, be careful of catching a cold, why don't you go out first to see the specific situation?" ”

"I listen to the water in the courtyard, or I will go with you."

When the words fell, Liu Mengyan's feet had already fallen on the embroidered shoes, Bi Tong hurriedly took a cloak and was about to serve her to put it on, when suddenly a black shadow fell from the roof beam.

In the flash of light, a sword that was cold and cold in the candlelight pointed directly at Liu Mengyan's neck.

"Ahh Qiu Yun was so frightened that she almost dropped the candlestick in her hand.

In the flickering candlelight, the woman was dressed in black, holding a long sword, the sword light was shining, and it was full of cold chill.

"Don't speak, or you'll be careful about your princess's life!"

Qiu Yun and Bitong looked at each other, and invariably raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, saying that they would never say a word. The four eyes stared nervously at the long sword across the princess's neck, Liu Mengyan only glanced at it, and her eyes fell on the face of the person holding the sword.

Although the other party was covered with a black scarf on his face, most of his face completely covered the lord, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, Liu Mengyan recognized who she was at a glance.

Cangyue, the killer under Tuoba Yeze.

Thinking of Cangyue's obedience to Tuoba Yeze in the previous life, Liu Mengyan said secretly: Could it be that the matter of the secret agreement has forced Tuoba Yeze to the point of taking risks? It's so impatient, and you want her life when you enter the house?!

"Princess Yi is so calm, is she really not afraid of death?"

The moment the words fell, Liu Mengyan almost felt that the long sword across her neck was a little closer.

For a while, I had to withdraw the speculation in my heart and concentrate on what was in front of me.

"The daughter of this concubine from the Marquis Changsheng Mansion, the county lord of Anping given by His Majesty, Princess Yi, if you dare to touch this concubine today, you will die under the sword of King Yi!" Liu Mengyan said with a light smile and spit out two words: Cangyue.

The eyes that were originally indifferent, after Liu Mengyan's last fluttering words, their pupils suddenly shrank, and Cangyue looked at each other in disbelief. How could it be, how could Princess Tangyi recognize her and even know her name!

In a panic, Liu Mengyan delayed until Tuoba Zeyan, who came in a hurry, as she wished. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer outside the door, Cangyue knew that the opportunity was missed, and quickly gave up the task and fled incognito.

Boom, the door knocked.

Looking at Tuoba Zeyan, who was anxiously stepping into the door of the house, after the line of life and death, Liu Mengyan instinctively ran away. Listening to the other party's real heartbeat, Liu Mengyan's heart hanging high fell to the ground, "He sent someone to kill me!" Tuoba Yeze sent someone to kill the concubine! ”

Tuoba Zeyan's eyes tightened, his fists clenched, and he asked softly, "Don't be afraid, tell the main hall, what's going on?" ”

Liu Mengyan slowly stabilized her breathing, "Before His Highness arrived, an assassin infiltrated Guilan Courtyard. ”

Tuoba Zeyan's voice trembled, and he said, "Why, the princess recognized at a glance that it was an assassin sent by Tuoba Yeze?" ”

Liu Mengyan was speechless for a while, being reborn was her biggest secret, she couldn't tell Tuoba Yeze yet, her eyes flashed slightly: "This is just the intuition of the concubine, I'm afraid that the fifth prince already knows that we let Princess Elilian go."

While speaking, the fire in the courtyard had been extinguished, and he was afraid that the maid's movement of tidying up back and forth would disturb the sleep, so Tuoba Zeyan simply took Liu Mengyan back to Huiluan Courtyard to rest.

It's just that the two of them lay in bed this night, but they couldn't sleep, and they almost closed their eyes until early in the morning, when they had a trace of sleep. I don't know if it's because of seeing Cangyue, the events of the previous life are spinning in Liu Mengyan's mind like a marquee.

It's not that she doesn't believe Tuoba Zeyan, but the secret of reliving a life is too unbelievable after all. It's not so much that she doesn't want to tell Tuoba Zeyan, but that Liu Mengyan doesn't know how to resort to it.

When Liu Mengyan woke up the next day, the pillow was already cold, and Tuoba Zeyan had already gotten up.

Liu Mengyan touched the cold pillow, and there was a dark and complicated emotion under her eyes, and then she opened her mouth and called the maid to come in and wait for her to freshen up.

After changing clothes and applying a little powder, Liu Mengyan helped Bitong back to Guilan Courtyard.

It's just that before she finished breakfast, there was a little maid at the door to announce that the three concubines of the Yang family, the Guo family and the Li family were waiting outside the house to say goodbye.

Bitong frowned and said: "Princess, there was such a big movement in the courtyard yesterday, and I didn't see the three concubines come to visit, but today they are united, they must be here to see a good show." ”

"It's okay, Concubine Ben's good show is not so easy to watch." After that, let the little maid go out and call people in, Liu Mengyan picked up the ginseng soup and tasted it carefully spoonful by spoonful.

The three of them entered the house with heavy makeup and light makeup, and when they saw Liu Mengyan sitting and drinking ginseng soup safe and sound, there was more or less a trace of disappointment in their eyes.

"The concubine greets the princess."

"No courtesy." Liu Ruli looked at it quietly and said with a faint smile.

Concubine Yang Shu has always been the superior among the three concubines, so she opened her mouth and said: "Last night, when the concubine heard that Guilan Courtyard was going to the water, she was very anxious, and the princess was not frightened, right?" ”

When the words fell, Guo and Li immediately expressed their concern.

"Youlao's sisters are worried, this concubine is safe, everything is fine." How could Liu Mengyan not hear the sincerity in their words, and dealt with a few words hastily.

The three of them originally planned to come over to see Liu Mengyan's jokes, but now that they saw that Liu Mengyan was unharmed, they didn't want to stay longer, so they got up and said goodbye: "Since the princess is having breakfast, the concubines won't bother." ”

After breakfast, Liu Mengyan was about to finish the details of last night's water walk, and another little maid stepped forward to say, "Princess, Miss Xiao asks to see." ”

Liu Mengyan's eyes tightened, and then said, "Let her in." ”

Bitong Fox said suspiciously: "Princess, why do you want to see her?" ”

Liu Mengyan's eyes fell on the flowers in the vase, "Why don't you see it, the beauty is smiling, we have to let the family perform more." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Fufu entered the house in a plain white dress, and a pair of surging autumn eyes hurriedly swept over a touch of disappointment at the moment when she made sure that Liu Mengyan was safe and sound.

Liu Mengyan didn't seem to see it and said, "This concubine heard that Miss Xiao was wandering around in Guilan Courtyard yesterday, I don't know if you saw anything?"

Yu Fufu felt weak in her heart, thinking that Liu Mengyan was doubting herself, and tried her best to deny it: "Xiao Wan just saw the excellent scenery in Guilan Courtyard, and she couldn't help but look at it for a while, but she didn't see anything. ”

Liu Mengyan saw her abnormal attitude, and the moment she had a flash of inspiration, she couldn't help but really start to doubt the Xiao Xiaowan in front of her.

Yu Fufu held on to her composure again, and after saying a few words to Liu Mengyan, she left.

"Princess, Zhu Hai is here! Say something important to report! Bitong said to Liu Mengyan, who was holding a teacup and drinking tea.

"Let him in." Liu Ruli perked up and remembered what she had told Zhu Hai to do.

A moment later, Zhu Hai came in, and when he saw Liu Ruli, he gathered the look on his face and stood there respectfully.

"Zhu Hai, say it!" Liu Mengyan said.

"Princess Qiyu, who was ordered to follow Second Master Liu in the dark, followed him for several days, and finally discovered a secret mansion for him. It was supposed to be his private home. Zhu Haidao.

A hint of ridicule flashed in Liu Mengyan's eyes, and she said in her heart: Sure enough, there are people outside! No wonder the second aunt is so sad! It's just a concubine, and you're still raising an outer room outside!

"But there are women in the private house?" Liu Mengyan suppressed the disgust in her heart.

"Yes!" Zhu Hai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "However, it's not an ordinary woman. ”

"It must be a beautiful young woman. My second uncle is really true, he told my second aunt on weekdays that he has high morals and clean conduct, even if he takes a concubine, he has only one concubine. I don't want to, I raised an outer room outside, no wonder the second aunt was so angry......" Liu Mengyan said.

"Princess Qiyu is not a young woman, but a ...... Young girl! Zhu Hai said, feeling very disgusted in his heart.

"What? Young girl! Liu Mengyan looked at Zhu Hai in surprise, several thoughts flashed in her heart, and gradually a clear thought became clear in her mind.

"Princess Qiyu, Second Master Liu should have a habit of young girls." Zhu Hai lowered his head and said.
