Shen Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled with deep meaning in his eyes, "Chen's ...... He's dead? ”

"The subordinates also suspect that it is not the Chen family, it should be a substitute ghost for the dead, but even if the Chen family escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I just don't know if there is any important news from her." Qing Feng said with a somewhat solemn face.

Shen Qian smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, we will all know in the end what she knows, and Lu Ziqing will find a way to send the news to us." ”

Here in the Prime Minister's Mansion, almost at the same time, Liu Yingyuan received the news that the family temple was walking last night, and he fell silent for a moment, although he didn't have much affection for the Chen family, but after all, he had children for him, and he had been in charge of housework for so many years, maybe there were too many things recently that made him less vigilant, and he didn't think about whether there was anything strange about this matter?

Liu Yingyuan instructed his subordinates to handle Chen's funeral, and ordered someone to go to Chen's house to report the funeral.

Meng Xiaoran has watched several big dramas in the past few days, first Chen was sent away, then Liu Ruxue was grounded, then Song Qingcheng fell from a horse and died, and then Liu Yingyuan locked Liu Ruxue in the house, and the whole house was sealed, thinking that she was ruthless to lock her up.

As smart as her, through this series of events, after carefully pondering in series, she naturally found the joint, she sat at the table, put down the brush in her hand, and looked at the events written by herself on the paper in front of her, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"Would Liu Ruxue really have such a means?" Meng Xiaoran took the paper full of lines and walked to the oil lamp to light it, and stood by the window in contemplation after watching it turn to ashes.

She naturally believed that Liu Ruxue would have such a vicious heart, but she couldn't figure it out, she was just a boudoir lady in a deep mansion, how could she have such a great ability?

At first, she thought that Liu Chengchuan was killed by the Chen family, but Liu Yingyuan immediately went to Ruxue Pavilion after sending Chen away, and it is said that she scolded Liu Ruxue, and then the Xia mother next to Liu Ruxue disappeared, all of which had to make her suspicious, it seems that the person who killed Liu Chengchuan was someone else, that is, this Miss Liu.

If nothing else, Liu Yingyuan was also so ruthless about her beloved daughter because Liu Ruxue designed to kill Song Qingcheng.

On the second day, Xiaocui brought new news that the Chen family was burned to death in the family temple!

When he first heard this explosive news, Meng Xiaoran intuitively felt that there was fraud in it, thinking that the Chen family also had a lover named Ye Chunqiu outside, could this be just a drama of transferring flowers and trees?

Seeing that she was stunned, Xiao Cui thought she was sad, so she persuaded: "Sister, although it was also Mrs. 's promotion that you could go to Linyuezhai at the beginning, Mrs. was not good to my sister, we were arrested by the eldest lady, and she was indifferent, so don't be too sad."

Meng Xiaoran shook his head, "It's not sad, it's just a little emotional, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been really eventful recently, and there have been accidents one after another." ”

Xiao Cui nodded, "Yes, it would be nice if the young master came back earlier, he could take his sister away, and I don't know when he will come back after returning to his hometown?" ”

Meng Xiaoran didn't speak, but there was a faint sadness in his heart, Lu Ziqing had been gone for several months, and there was not a single letter during the period, so he really just went back to his hometown?

"Hey, I don't want these bad things, let's live in peace in the house, and when the time comes, I will take you away." Meng Xiaoran looked out the window and smiled, not knowing whether to comfort Xiaocui or convince herself.

At this time, Lu Ziqing was thousands of miles away in Yunzhou, and no one could have imagined that in a deserted deep mountain and old forest, it was actually built into a holy place, and the bamboo buildings in the depths of the forest stood tall and stretched for several miles.

However, this is not just an isolated holy place, but also a hidden kingdom, which is Lu Ziqing's territory.

No, at this time, he shouldn't be called Lu Ziqing anymore, his real identity is the prince of the former dynasty, Dongfang Shuo.

Twenty years ago, the current emperor, that is, Dongfang Shuo's uncle, took advantage of his father's expedition to rebel, the queen got the news in advance, and immediately handed over the five-year-old prince to his cousin Ye Chunqiu, and found the corpse of a fifteen-year-old boy from the people to count, and then sent the real prince out.

Ye Chunqiu's father was the empress's uncle Ye Wentao, the most important hussar general in the imperial court, who was going out with the emperor on an expedition, and was finally killed by his brother King Jianning, and the 200,000 army was wiped out.

It is said that the palace was stained red with blood, and it took several days to clean it, Ye Chunqiu took the five-year-old prince Dongfang Shuo to flee all the way south under the protection of his personal guards.

On the way, he met Lu Zhichang's family, who were in Jiangnan at the time, and their family was playing in the lake that day, and the three-year-old son accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Ye Chunqiu.

Lu Zhichang was grateful for his life-saving grace, so he wanted to take the two of them in, and in the end, Ye Chunqiu only entrusted Dongfang Shuo, who was only five years old, to him.

Lu Zhichang had a son, who died of smallpox two years ago, if he was alive at the age of five, he agreed with his wife to raise Dongfang Shuo as his eldest son who died young, and since then, Dongfang Shuo is no longer the prince of the dynasty, but has become the eldest son of Jiangnan Taishou Lu Zhichang, Lu Ziqing.

Although Dongfang Shuo is young, he is intelligent by nature, and he has long understood the hatred of the family and the country, and after living in the Lu Mansion, he asked Lu Zhichang to find a martial arts master for him, and he studied hard every day, and after he was ten years old, he secretly went to the forest not far from home every night to learn martial arts with Ye Chunqiu.

When Ye Chunqiu left, the queen mother gave him a token, saying that he could use this token to order a secret guard of the Eastern royal family, and it took him five years to finally find this secret guard organization, and since then, the road to recovery has begun.

It took them fifteen years to put their own forces all over the Great Shang Kingdom, and it was not easy to get to where they are today, a few months ago, one of their contact points in Yujing City was exposed, and Ye Chunqiu was seriously injured, which was a heavy blow to them, and Dongfang Shuo had to leave because of this.

"Uncle Ye is back?" After Dongfang Shuo finished reading the official document on the table, he looked up at Lan Yue who was on the side and asked, Lan Yue shook his head, "I'm afraid it's still on the way back, after all, Yujing City is still thousands of miles away from here, even if it's a horse, it will take two or three days, not to mention that he still has to bring a woman." ”

After a few months of arrangement, Yu Jingcheng's forces were finally reinserted, and they were relieved.

Dongfang Shuo's heart was relaxed for a while, and at the same time a little lost, Lan Yue looked at his expression in his eyes, "The master misses Miss Meng?" ”

Dongfang Shuo didn't speak, got up and walked out of the study, looked at the bamboo forest outside, sighed lightly, a few months, lovesickness, but he couldn't be willful, even if he was crazy in the middle of the night, he had to hold back desperately, because he was not just a person, but also burdened with the hatred of his family and country, and the expectations of many people.

Fortunately, now that everything has been taken care of, it can be regarded as stable, and when Uncle Ye comes back, he can leave with confidence.

"Lanyue, you pack up your packing these days, by the way, tell me to go down and let the people over there in Jiangnan buy some special products, and when we go back, we will take them back to Yujing City."

"Yes, master, when are we leaving?"

"Uncle Ye must be able to come back in these two days, and when he comes back, I will discuss some things with him and then leave." After speaking, he stretched out his hand in the direction of his sword hanging in the house, took the sword from the air, and walked towards the bamboo forest behind the house.

This is his habit, practicing swords in the bamboo forest every day, except for the days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which has not been broken for so many years.

On the flat official road, a black horse galloped by, and immediately sat a man and a woman, both dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, the woman was about thirty years old, and looked very beautiful, but she must have been unable to stand the long journey, and her face was full of exhaustion.

When they arrived at a market town before dark, the two dismounted, stopped outside the only inn in the market town, and the man said to the woman, "Yingyue, stay here tonight, and hurry again tomorrow morning."

The woman nodded, with a docile expression, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Qiu." ”

It turned out that this middle-aged man and woman were Ye Chunqiu, and the Chen family who had been burned to death in the Liu family's temple, as Meng Xiaoran expected, it was a drama of transferring flowers and trees, and Ye Chunqiu used this method in order to take away the Chen family.

The two asked for an upper room, and asked for hot water, Chen Yingyue took a bath and changed clothes before he was relieved, the inn in the market town, the environment is not good, but it is clean, the two of them quietly enjoyed the moonlight after eating, and then they were warm.

When they were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although the two met often, they never crossed the last step, until Ye Chunqiu rescued her this time, and the two couldn't help but be a wild mandarin duck in the mountains that night, and now that they are finally bright, they will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

After the warmth, Chen Yingyue lay in Ye Chunqiu's arms, her face gradually dyed with worry, "Brother Qiu, after I went to Yunzhou with you, how did you settle me?" ”

Ye Chunqiu was a little puzzled when he heard this, "What's wrong?" What do you think? ”

Chen Yingyue lifted up from his arms, looked at him and said, "I know that Brother Qiu is doing big things, and he will not dare to take me back, are you planning to settle me in a small courtyard in Yunzhou, and just go to see me once every three or five times?"

Surprise flashed on Ye Chunqiu's face, he really thought so, I don't know how she guessed it, and what her plans were?

"Yes, that's what I planned."

Chen Yingyue shook her head, "No, Brother Qiu, I don't want to be separated from you, just take me back, from now on, I will be your person in life and your ghost in death, I will only stay in the backyard and give birth to children for you, I won't ask about it, promise me, okay?" ”

Ye Chunqiu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly got up and leaned against the head of the bed with one hand, Chen Yingyue sat opposite him, his expression became very serious for a moment, looked at her and said: "Let me promise you, you also have to promise me one thing, if you do this, I will believe that you are really with me, and I will take you back this time."

Chen Yingyue's face crossed with joy, "You say, what's the matter?" As long as I can do it, I will do it. ”
