Chapter 420: Collaboration with the enemy
The white mist came so coincidentally, that person must have been lying in ambush nearby a long time ago, just waiting for them to jump out and save Feng Bailin when they were slack!
An Xiabai thought of this, and felt more and more annoyed, Feng Bailin is the bloodline of the former royal family, if he is allowed to survive safely in time, it will inevitably be used by some people with ulterior motives, although the people are willing to support Lu Li, but Lu Li is not the orthodoxy of the royal family after all, if someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future, it may make Lu Li's country unstable!
Worry forced An Xiabai to walk quickly towards the cave where Feng Bailin was.
At this moment, Lu Li noticed her movements.
Lu Li's powerful arms wrapped around An Xiabai's waist so that she couldn't take half a step forward: "Don't go over!" ”
No one in the white mist knew if there was any danger over there, and Lu Li would rather be under the arrow than let An Xia Bai take any risk!
But An Xiabai pulled his hand away and whispered, "I will protect myself." ”
But Lu Li's hand quickly circled up again, obviously unwilling to let her go: "Even if Feng Bailin escapes this time, we will still have a chance to catch him next time, now the whole world is ours, this time is different from the past, he will definitely not be able to turn up any wind and waves, so Madame should not go over, his own safety is more important!" ”
Listening to his persuasion, An Xiabai shook his head helplessly.
Since Lu Li was unwilling to let her go over to inspect the situation, then she could only stay, An Xiabai's eyes stared in the direction of the flash, trying to see through the fog, so as to get a glimpse of Feng Bailin's movements, this look, really let her see a somewhat familiar figure! I saw that the man quietly avoided the soldiers, walked all the way to the cave where Feng Bailin was, picked up the person and left the place.
An Xiabai's brows tightened more and more.
By the time the white mist had all dispersed, Feng Bailin, who had been trapped, had disappeared, probably rescued by the mysterious person who released the white mist. The soldiers brought by Lu Li were busy taking care of the endgame, and the soldiers who were poisoned by inhaling the white mist were lying on the ground like a puddle of water, and they had fallen into a coma.
Lu Li suddenly pounced and held An Xiabai's hand tightly: "Madam, are you okay?" ”
"What can I do?" An Xiabai smiled disapprerovingly, "Didn't you stop me just now?" By the way, I saw a familiar figure in the white mist just now, I should have met him before. ”
"The people who rescued Feng Bailin?"
"Yes, it's him, I walked around once when I was in the mansion before, and I saw Lu Shu'er being respectful to a person dressed as a servant, although I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but I saw his figure, which happened to be similar to the person who came to save Feng Bailin just now!"
It's Lu Shu'er again!
Lu Li had the heart to take An Xiabai back to the mansion to question Lu Shu'er, but now that the soldiers were poisoned and paralyzed, it was the time when he needed to stay and sit in town.
"You stay, I'll ask Lu Shu'er myself, the left and right people are in the mansion, and there are guards to take care of it, so you can stay here and take people to carefully search for relevant clues."
An Xiabai said that, turned around and left without hesitation.
She thought that she would be able to see Lu Shu'er directly after returning to the mansion and ask clearly, but when the person arrived at the door, she realized that it was impossible, and that person appeared in front of the person, which meant that he was not afraid of being recognized at all, and Lu Shu'er was naturally more than lucky......
The courtyard where Lu Shu'er was being held caught fire.
The reason is very strange, it is said that when people are busy in the room, the fire burns directly, Lu Shuer was sleeping at that time, and she didn't realize it when the fire was burning, and people were burned alive in their sleep, and when An Xiabai returned to the mansion, the people just used water to extinguish the fire.
One thing that puzzled An Xiabai even more was that Ruqing was actually there.
"Ruqing, why are you here?"
Ruqing had some ash on her face, obviously she had also made efforts in fighting the fire just now, and when she saw An Xiabai in a blink of an eye, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I originally wanted to walk around the capital today, but I didn't expect to see a fire in the direction of your house while shopping, so I ran over in a hurry!" Fortunately, Xia Bai was not in the mansion at that time, and when I learned that Lu Shu'er's yard was on fire, I was almost happy to death. ”
Corresponding to the joyful expression on her face was the solemnity on An Xiabai's face.
Although An Xiabai doesn't have a good impression of Lu Shu'er, after all, she is the mother of a child, and her death means that the child will lose his mother in the future........
"Well, a courtyard can't suddenly catch fire, you guys look around to see if there are any clues, Ruqing, you can come into the room with me to have a look......."
An Xiabai felt a little weak in her heart, but Ruqing was not, she was used to seeing corpses, and she didn't feel scared at all.
The two entered the burned room together, and saw Lu Shu'er's body in a place of ashes.
As the next person said, she still maintained her original sleeping position, and there seemed to be no sign of struggle.
"This is very wrong," Ruqing touched her chin and said, "Even if you are sleeping, you should instinctively struggle when you encounter a fire, this Lu Shu'er doesn't seem to have any signs of struggle, it looks no different from waiting for death in peace, it is impossible for a normal living person to die like her!" ”
Burning to death is a very painful way to die, the deceased generally experience great pain before death, so most of the burned people are hideous, and the body poses in a very distorted posture, instead of lying down peacefully and waiting for death like now, this thing is strange!
An Xia's eyes rolled, and she said with a complicated expression: "Could she have died before the fire?" ”
Only when he was dead before the fire could he be able to be as unstruggling as the maid said, and that he would have such a relaxed posture after death.
"I think it's likely!"
While they were talking, a little servant quickly stepped forward and handed over something: "Madam, this bottle was picked up by us nearby, and it seems to have been filled with fuel!" ”
Anxia Bai sniffed the bottle, and it was really the smell of fuel.
It is already obvious at this point, the fire in the small courtyard where Lu Shu'er lives is not accidental, but someone deliberately set it on fire, that person should have killed Lu Shu'er before setting the fire, otherwise Lu Shu'er would not have been so well-behaved and waiting to die as she is now.
Who has the ability to sneak into a heavily guarded mansion?
Just as they were frowning and analyzing Lu Shu'er's possible cause of death, Lu Li also came to the mansion.
"How so?"
An Xiabai shook his head with a complicated expression and said: "When I arrived at the place, it was already like this, the yard was on fire, Lu Shu'er died, but fortunately, the child she gave birth to is still alive, and the other family members who are serving in the yard are all fine, she is the only one......."
It's a woman who has been moved, Lu Li's face sank slightly.
Because there are many people here who are too busy to speak, An Xiabai directly pulled Lu Li to the room.
"There's one thing I haven't told you, General."
Lu Li was surprised, he didn't expect the relationship between the two to develop to such a point, An Xiabai would have something to hide from himself, so he asked in surprise: "Madame, do you have anything to tell me?" ”
"Well, it's not my business, it's Lu Shu'er's business, a few days ago I saw Lu Shu'er and a man pulling and pulling in the garden, and the movements between the two were very intimate."
It was precisely because they were too close that An Xiabai did not tell Lu Li what happened at the first time.
Lu Li's face changed again.
"It seems that Lu Shu'er is far from being as simple as we imagined, she didn't move when Bu Xun and Lu An showed her stuffing before, so I always thought that she was different from those people, and it was only now that I believed that she was not as good as I imagined." Lu Li shook his head, shook off the faint doubts in his heart, and then turned his eyes to ask An Xiabai, "But the most important thing in front of me is not Lu Shu'er's life and death, but Feng Bailin, after Feng Bailin was rescued from that white mist, I asked people to close the mountain to search, and indeed they were never found, it is estimated that they escaped through a hidden road." “
An Xia Bai frowned: "This is indeed a big deal, but the general doesn't have to worry, although Feng Bailin still has a life, but his strength has been eliminated, and he shouldn't be able to make waves in the future, we just need to make a mess of his reputation." ”
"Oh? Does Madame have an idea? ”
An Xiabai really has an idea in this regard, she is not good at marching and fighting, but she is very good at giving advice, especially in smearing someone, she is even better at it.
After taking over Feng Bailin's affairs, she turned around and went to work.
Since the afternoon of the same day, there has been a rumor in the streets and alleys, saying that the second prince of the previous dynasty colluded with King Li, and the two colluded with Liang State, not only signed a treaty to humiliate the country, but also promised to give them more than a dozen border cities immediately after the end of the Liang War, and they will never take it back.
The people of the two countries have been resentful for a long time, and the people have long been dissatisfied with the Liang State, and now when they hear about the collusion between Feng Bailin and King Li, they are more and more glad that Feng Bailin is not the emperor.
"If the second prince becomes the emperor, I'm afraid we won't even have a place to settle down in the future!"
At first, not everyone believed these rumors, but after a long time, and it spread so much, gradually people believed that it was true, and the matter was noisy, and it was written by a minister and sent it to Lu Li, and the minister said impassionedly that Feng Bailin was not worthy of standing on this land at all, and begged Lu Li to remove his nationality.
Lu Li agreed without saying a word.
After such a fuss, Feng Bailin's reputation among the people is indestinous, if he was like a mouse in the gutter before, now he is a maggot that everyone hates, even if he wants to turn the tables, I am afraid that the people will no longer believe any words he said.
After doing these things, An Xiabai finally calmed down.
She began to learn how to become a qualified queen from the grandmothers in the palace, and the rules and etiquette in the palace began to understand, and what should be done and what should not be done gradually became clear.
People praised her as a qualified queen, and only she herself knew what she was doing for.
She has a heart problem.
