Chapter 503: He came to help the master
Therefore, when Zhao Ling told Chu Xingyue that Zhou Yanran's death was most likely not the work of the eldest brother, Chu Xingyue could imagine how excited she was; Thinking that it would not be long before the stigma on the eldest brother's body would be cleared, Chu Xingyue's mood relaxed a lot.
She knew that what she had to do at this time was to be calm, calmly waiting for Zhao Ling to bring her good news, and waiting for her eldest brother to come out of the prison safely.
It's just that just when Chu Xingyue was quietly thinking about how she would teach her impulsive eldest brother a lesson after her eldest brother came out of the prison, not far away, a figure dressed as Jingwei was rushing towards the direction where they were at the moment.
Jingwei is Zhao Ling's henchman, and he is also a master carefully selected after layers of screening, not to mention how strong their martial arts are, even this calm and unhurried bearing is quite similar to the master they follow.
It was the first time for Chu Xingyue to see Jingwei show such a panicked expression, so she immediately felt that something was wrong, her heart 'groaned', the calm smile on her face converged, and the fingers hidden in her sleeves didn't help but feel clenched, and her eyebrows were cold, looking at Jingwei who came to her in the blink of an eye.
"Niangniang, no, I don't know why the Royal Forest Army actually surrounded King Ling's Mansion, just now my subordinates went out to investigate, but those people didn't say a word, and my subordinates wanted to go out to find His Royal Highness the Prince, but they stopped them; said that this was the emperor's meaning, from now on, the Ling Wangfu is not allowed to enter and exit, and everyone must stay in the palace and not act rashly. ”
Hearing the news from Jingwei, Chu Xingyue, who was strong in his heart, couldn't help but panic for a moment, and looked at Jingwei in front of him with a look of apprehension, and said, "You say, is it the Ling Wangfu surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army?" Moreover, is this still an order from my father? ”
"Yes, mother, what should I do? Right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace, and I don't know if His Highness knows that there is such a big thing in the palace? ! Looking at Jingwei who was rubbing his hands in a hurry, Chu Xingyue's eyes flashed fiercely.
"He should know."
Chu Xingyue calmed her voice and said, "Zhao Ling went to the court early in the morning, and if he was okay at this time, he should have come back a long time ago; But now that he doesn't appear, there are only two possibilities; The first is that Zhao Ling is still in the palace, and the second is that Zhao Ling went to do other important things after leaving the palace; But now that there is such a big thing happening in Ling Wangfu, if he is outside, he should rush back as soon as possible, and now that he has not come back, it proves that he should be in the palace at this time, since he is in the palace, he should know about the current movements of Ling Wangfu. ”
"Since Your Highness knows, why do you still watch the Imperial Forest Army besiege King Ling's Mansion? Niangniang, those subordinates of the Royal Forest Army looked at the people who came badly, and the subordinates had also dealt with the people in the Royal Forest Army, and they had always been polite; But today, no matter how their subordinates asked, they refused to say more, and when they asked in a hurry, they directly took out the emperor's name to press their subordinates, which was really abnormal. ”
Chu Xingyue said, "Can it be abnormal, right now, we must know what happened in the palace and why my father sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround King Ling's Mansion." ”
Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue immediately asked Jingwei beside her, "What about Yunxiao?" Is he in the house? ”
Jingwei said: "Yun Gongzi followed the prince out of the mansion early in the morning, and he hasn't appeared until now. ”
When Chun Xing heard Jingwei's answer, she immediately stomped her feet angrily and said, "This damn Yunxiao, he usually dangles in front of you when you don't want to see him, but now when you need him the most, he runs away; Miss, what should we do? Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do something to anger the emperor, the emperor was angry, and he wanted to use our Ling Wangfu to vent his anger. ”
Listening to Chunxing's crying voice, Chu Xingyue gently patted the little girl's shoulder, which was trembling slightly from fear, and said, "Maybe it's really possible, after all, I really can't think of anything else that can make my father so angry that he called the Imperial Forest Army to besiege the mansion; Zhao Ling is still in the palace, and it is possible that he was locked up by his father. ”
Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, Chun Xing was about to cry, and she couldn't help but chant while tugging on Chu Xingyue's sleeve: "What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tossing, it was fine yesterday, why did he make such a big move today; Although he is now the prince, one person is above ten thousand people, and no one dares to provoke him casually, but in this Great Wei world, his Lao Tzu can provoke him casually; Right now, the emperor is angry, and everyone in King Ling's mansion has to be guarded like prisoners, but he doesn't show up, isn't it sincere and grinding. ”
Listening to Chun Xing's broken thoughts, Chu Xingyue's heart was thinking about what Zhao Ling had annoyed Emperor Showa, was it about the eldest brother?
The more Chu Xingyue thought about it, the more chaotic she felt, and even Uncle Wang on the side noticed her uneasiness, and couldn't help but speak: "Miss, the subordinates' light skills are not bad, why don't you let your subordinates go out to investigate and see what happened in the palace?" ”
Uncle Wang's light skills are not fake, but Ling Wangfu Jingwei's light skills are also quite powerful; Since the father sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround King Ling's Mansion, he should also be fully prepared, if he rashly agrees with Uncle Wang to go out to find out the news at this time, in case the news is not found, but Uncle Wang is discovered by the people of the Royal Forest Army, I am afraid that Uncle Wang's life will not be saved at that time!
After all, Emperor Showa's edict was that everyone up and down the Ling Wangfu was not allowed to enter or leave.
Chu Xingyue tried her best to be calm, and said: "Uncle Wang, leave this matter to me, you will continue to stay in the palace as usual to recuperate from your injuries, we can't act rashly without knowing anything, otherwise it is very likely to backfire." ”
Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue already had a way in his heart, and said to Jingwei: "Does the palace have any special ways to reveal the situation in the palace to others?" ”
Jingwei immediately understood the meaning of Chu Xingyue's words, and said, "There are carrier pigeons in the house, which can be used to contact news. ”
"Very good, I'll go back to Feiyu Courtyard to write a small note, you go and catch a carrier pigeon, at this time we can't go to the prince, we have to find the seventh prince Zhao Xi."
Jingwei immediately felt that the crown princess's method was wonderful, His Royal Highness King Xi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are good brothers, if His Royal Highness the Prince really had an accident in the palace, it would be a good strategy to intercede with His Royal Highness King Xi at this time.
Moreover, His Royal Highness King Xi has a noble status, and he is quite famous and powerful in the court and the capital, if something really happens to King Ling's Mansion at this time, let King Xi know, with his friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, he will definitely not watch the situation in King Ling's Mansion deteriorate and ignore it.
"Don't worry, my subordinates will go to find carrier pigeons."
As he spoke, Jingwei pulled his legs and was about to run towards the southeast corner of the pigeon house in Fuzhong, but, before Jingwei could go far, a snow-white figure with a white living creature in his arms appeared on the path not far away, he seemed to have been standing there for a long time, but because everyone didn't notice it first, and he didn't make a movement, so it has been ignored.
Seeing that figure, the people present recognized it almost at a glance.
"Ruiyuan, why did you come here?"
Hearing Chu Xingyue's words, everyone looked at him in unison.
It's just that when they saw Xiao Ruiyuan standing there motionless at the moment, several people couldn't help but gasp in their hearts, because Xiao Ruiyuan at this time looked indifferent and cold.
Xiao Ruiyuan held Da Bai in his arms, looking at Chu Xingyue with a faint look of nervousness and anxiety on his face, although he was immature but had already been quite handsome and delicate, his face was covered with a layer of frost, and he looked coldly at the people who were coming towards him, and said, "Sister, you don't need to send someone to find out why the emperor angrily sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround King Ling's Mansion, because I know what happened outside." ”
When Chu Xingyue heard Xiao Ruiyuan's words, she subconsciously frowned, and couldn't help but look Xiao Ruiyuan up and down with a bit of weirdness.
She always knew that Rui Yuan was a smart child, so she would keep this smart and poor child by her side to take care of it; Facts have proved that her decision is indeed correct, at least during the time she took care of Rui Yuan, the gloom on his face has indeed faded a lot, and he can even say a few words to her with a smile on his face many times.
Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan, who had quietly changed like this, Chu Xingyue felt a little relieved; seems to be the most innocent and lively time at his age, but because too many changes have happened in his body, his eyebrows and eyes have a little more coldness and depression that should not belong to his age.
thought that with her company, even if Rui Yuan couldn't get out of the pain of losing his parents, he would slowly untie the knot, and one day he would laugh out loud like an ordinary big boy; But when her idea was not yet mature, Xiao Ruiyuan in front of her seemed to have changed back to his original appearance.
His eyes were full of cold air, and there was a gloom and gloom between his eyebrows that even he couldn't pay attention to, such Xiao Ruiyuan looked a little cynical, and the whole person was cold and cold, making it difficult to touch.
Chu Xingyue looked at Xiao Ruiyuan like this, and when she thought of what he said just now, she guessed what this kid might know.
She beckoned Xiao Ruiyuan to come over, and when he approached, she looked at his expressionless little face and asked, "Ruiyuan, what do you know?" Can I tell my sister? ”
Xiao Ruiyuan trusted Chu Xingyue almost wholeheartedly at this time, so no matter what she wanted from him, he would tell her without reservation; Because she in front of her was the person who Master cherished the most during his lifetime.
And that person, since he has done so many things to hurt her, then he is not qualified to keep her by his side anymore; At the beginning, the master didn't take her away, but now this person is tasked and he is doing it for the master.
