Chapter 500: Blood Book (SSS Little Snowflake Plus Update)
Mu Hongshang did not answer. She directly handed over the broken piece of cloth in her hand, and Mr. Chen was obviously a little surprised, but he still quickly reached out and took the piece of scrap cloth and unfolded it impatiently.
The duck egg green muslin cloth was already dirty, and it was particularly dim under the light of Mu Hongsheng's small wind lamp, and the blood stains on it looked even darker in the dim light. But Mr. Chen still recognized it at a glance, it was written in blood.
Although these words are messy and difficult to recognize, Mr. Chen, who teaches Jinyi to practice calligraphy, can still see at a glance that this is the word of Jinyi.
The brocade is written in blood. Mr. Chen stared blankly at the rag, his mind blank as if it had been a lightning strike, the words were large, and although the light was dim, he could see clearly, and although it was messy, he could make out what was written.
It's just that Mr. Chen was suddenly a little confused, he knew these words separately, but when they were connected, he couldn't understand the meaning of them.
"The trap is not Rongdi
Sorry"
What the hell is this?! Mr. Chen raised his head blankly, looked at Mu Hongsheng's eyes with heavy sadness, and asked cautiously, "Who gave this to you?" ”
Mr. Chan also reported a glimmer of hope. He hoped that this was an abominable deception, and perhaps someone had handed over this piece of scrap to Miss Mu for some bad purposes. The two sons of the Mu family escorted the military to the north, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and maybe someone took advantage of this to make a fuss!
After all, no matter what, it shouldn't be the eldest lady who received the news first. If something really happened to them in Jinyi, it should be the northern border or the imperial court who got the letter first, right? But the court has been calm these days, and if there is a letter from the north, it should be them, the gentlemen of the outer court, who know about it first!
So it's not necessarily true! It can't be true.
Mu Hongshang looked at Mr. Chen's eyes, she saw the doubt and hope in Mr. Chen's eyes, and she also knew that Mr. Chen was unwilling to die, just as she was unwilling to die. But Mu Hongshang still bravely opened her mouth, and explained everything in one sentence: "Biying came back, covered in injuries, most of them were knife wounds, which it brought back." ”
Mr. Chen seemed to be choked by the neck all of a sudden, he looked at Mu Hongsheng, and couldn't say a word for a long time, while Mr. Sun on the side snatched the scrap cloth in Mr. Chen's hand, he glanced at the words on it, and closed his eyes heavily.
Tears suddenly poured out from the corners of Mr. Sun's eyes, and in the dim light, they also reflected the bright water. Mr. Sun, who also watched the children of the Mu family grow up, although Mr. Sun was also heartbroken, he obviously had stronger emotional control than Mr. Chen.
Mr. Sun knew what this rag meant, now was not the time to be sad, they still had a lot to do, and if they were to be quick, they had to warn the imperial court and the northern border as soon as possible.
Mr. Sun pushed Mr. Chen hard, then quickly wiped his tears, and took the lead in walking in the direction of the study: "Hurry up, we don't have much time, and the eldest lady will follow." ”
As soon as Mr. Sun reminded him, Mr. Chen also reacted quickly. Indeed, now was not a good time to let go of his grief, so he quickly sorted out his emotions that were on the verge of getting out of control, and turned to follow Mr. Sun.
The rest of the staff gentlemen in the courtyard also looked sad one by one, they were silent, and no one even opened their mouths to comfort Mu Hongsheng, so they lowered their heads and followed behind Mr. Sun, and walked in the direction of the outer study together.
In fact, Mu Hongshang was very grateful for the silence of the gentlemen at this time. She really didn't need anyone to comfort her. For Mu Hongshang at the moment, the comfort of others is like repeatedly reminding her of the fact that the fifth brother and Jinyi have had accidents, which is tantamount to repeatedly sprinkling salt on her bloody wounds, which will make it even more difficult for her to bear the pain and remorse in her heart.
Mr. Chen walked beside Mu Hongsheng and let out a soft sigh, almost inaudible, but full of sadness and regret. After Mu Hongshang heard this, she silently lowered her head.
"Watch the road carefully." When passing the stone steps, Mr. Chen suddenly reminded Mu Hongsheng, and his voice seemed to be much older all of a sudden, looking desolate and exhausted: "You have to ...... well."
A group of people followed Mr. Sun into An Guogong's study, and several gentlemen, plus Mu Hongsheng, packed the study to the brim. Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen didn't let others, they sat directly face to face at An Guogong's desk, one of them laid paper, the other grinded ink, and while they were busy, they briefly discussed a few words, and then Mr. Chen turned around and said to a group of people behind him: "Something happened to the military capital, Ling Yi and Jinyi's life and death are uncertain, someone has to go to the military department immediately to deliver the news, and someone from the military department Sun Shangshu and Jiang Shilang's house must also go." ”
"I'll go." Mu Hongshang immediately replied, "Sir, I'll go to the military department." ”
"Nope." Mr. Sun, who was sitting at the desk, waved his hand: "Anyone can go to the military department, eldest miss, I will write a letter to Jiang Shilang now, Jiang Fu, you will go to the Jiang Mansion in person, be sure to hand over the letter to Jiang Shilang in person, and explain to him today's affairs." At the home of the military department, Mr. Chen and I went in person. ”
"Good!" Mu Hongshang didn't argue, she immediately nodded: "Whatever Mr. says, I will do." ”
Mr. Sun nodded, without delay at all, lowered his head and began to write, while Mr. Chen said to Mu Hongsheng: "You must go and come back quickly, and try to come back before the fifth watch." Jinyi desperately brought back this blood letter, we must ensure that it can be sent to the emperor's imperial case early tomorrow morning, Jinyi's blood book says that this is a trap, so someone in our family has to enter the palace early in the morning, please ......"
"I'll go into the palace." The study was pushed open suddenly, and the Duchess of An Guo stood outside the door with a cloak, and she didn't know how long she had been listening at the door. Her face was pale, but her eyes were firm: "Early tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace, what do you need me to do, just explain directly to the gentlemen." I can't wait for the request, I will kneel at the gate of the palace early tomorrow morning to avenge my grievances for Ling Yi and Jinyi. ”
Mu Hongshang turned her head to look at Duchess Anguo's face, she didn't say anything, but Duchess Anguo had already clarified everything through her daughter's sad eyes. She stepped into the study and stretched out her hand to Mr. Chen: "Where is the letter brought back by Jinyi?" I'm going to see. ”
"Madam......" Mr. Chen gritted his teeth, and still handed the tattered cloth towel behind him to the Duchess of Anguo.
When Duchess An Guo took the scrap cloth, her hands were shaking, her face was pale and terrifying, but she still bravely unfolded the cloth directly and saw the messy blood words on it.
