Chapter 18 Thou shalt not speak

A falling fan hit Cheng Xin's head.

Cheng Xin removed his hand, and all that caught his eye was the figure of the little grandfather staggering away.

"It's over, he's probably mad."

'You're done. The system said there was nothing they could do.

"It's all your bad idea."

'I'...... This doesn't fit the development of the plot! You have called him 'brother', and he should be deeply moved to promise you everything! The little book said.

"But in fact, he just wanted to kick me back to Jiangnan immediately."

'Who told you to rip off his pants?' ’

"I didn't mean to. Besides, he's wearing dirty pants, and I don't see anything. ”

'You're lying. ’

"Alright then, his legs are whiter than mine."

……

At the beginning of the moon, the light shone into the dimly lit cell, and a small square was reflected on the damp and dirty ground.

The man tied to the torture rack hung his head and listened to the sound of 'tick, tick' coming from the quiet cell.

He opened his eyes in a trance, and saw that the liquid in the dilapidated sea bowl at his feet was about to be filled.

It was the blood that had his wrist cut open and flowed.

The last string in his heart snapped, and he suddenly struggled and roared.

"I, I say! I say! ”

The chains rang, the cell door opened, and two jailers dragged him out.

A short time later, a prison chief hurried towards the palace gate.

Inside the East Palace Courtyard;

Fu Lu checked the news, sent the messenger, and entered the inner sanctum.

"Your Highness, there is news from the prison that the assassin has been recruited."

On the huge bed, the topless prince Chu Yu was hugging a beauty, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words.

"What did you say?"

"This assassin did not come to assassinate His Highness, but to deliver a message, supposedly from the south."

"So, it's the remnants of the Jiang family?"

"It was said that the news didn't have time to get out, and the man recognized His Highness, and he was the main assassin of His Highness without authorization."

Chu Yu raised his head from between the beauty's neck and glanced at Fu Lu who was prostrate on the ground: "Where is the news?" ”

"Your Highness, the Assassin said he had left him in a carriage when he fled. The servant heard from Commander Zhou that the assassin had indeed startled a carriage today, and the person in the carriage was Miss Anguo Mansion. ”

"Anguo Mansion?" Chu Yu sat up straight suddenly.

Fu Lu explained: "I heard that Miss Anguo Gongfu was returning from a trip to the outskirts of Jingxi City and accidentally met this assassin. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then don't send someone to find it!" This palace wants to see who is colluding with the remnants of the Jiang family! ”

"Your Highness, are you going to send someone into the Anguo Mansion?"

"What, can't you get in?"

"It's just an orphan and a widow, Your Highness wants to send someone to find something, isn't it enough?" The beauty hooked the prince's neck and coquettishly said: "Is Your Highness right when she said that the concubine said?" ”

"Yes, that's right." The prince handed over a fragrant kiss.

Fu Lu buried his head even lower, his voice almost touching the ground.

"Your Royal Highness, it is precisely because it is an orphan and widow that the guards are stricter than ordinary mansions, and even the Queen Mother sent a group of masters to protect her earlier. I heard that those who want to fight the idea of the Anguo Mansion have never been able to succeed. ”

"Rubbish! Even if it's an iron bucket, it will be poked out by His Highness. ”

"Your Highness, this matter must not be forced. Why don't you send someone into the house and investigate? ”

"Hmph, when your people get in, I don't know it's going to be the Year of the Monkey. Even if there was news, it would have been preempted. ”

Fu Lu said: "Your Highness, the assassin is dead, and the news is only known to you, Your Highness. Even if the remnants of the Jiang family learned that the news was lost, they would never know that the things had fallen into the Anguo Mansion. In this way, there is a lot of time to enter the house and take a closer look. ”

Chu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "What if this news is obtained by Brother Shu?" ”

"Then Your Highness, you can just take a look at your cousin, is it true that he doesn't listen to anything outside the window and only reads the books of sages?"

"How many times has Hongu told you. Brother Shu loves to dance and write, and has no heart to cling to imperial power. Although he relied on the love of the imperial grandmother and did not give face to the palace, he never gave face to others. In the future, you don't have to chew the root of your tongue here in this palace! ”

"Yes! The minion knows his mistake! The minion won't dare next time! ”

"It's none of your business, go down."

Fu Lu retreated, and the beautiful woman's coquettish voice came from the palace again: "Your Highness, you are angry, you are angry, and the concubine is distressed." ”

"Oh, the beauty is distressed? Then let Hongu rub it for you......"

"Well, Your Highness, tap ......"

……

Cheng Xin took the fan and paced back in the room, when he heard movement outside.

"Miss, why did you come back first?" Min Qi quickly stepped inside: "Are you okay?" ”

Cheng Xin shook his head: "It's okay, what can I do?" ”

The Qiao woman on the side wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss, listening to the maid on the porch, the little grandfather's face was very bad when he left. We're still worried because you, miss? ”

"How could it be because of me!" Cheng Xin shook his head again and again: "You think too much." ”

"That's good. Hey, Miss, why is your hair so messy. ”

Cheng Xin suddenly recalled the previous scene in his mind, and said embarrassedly: "When I came back, it was windy. ”

Minqi turned to get the comb and paused in front of the dresser.

"Qiao, why didn't you clean up the dresser when you left?"

"Cleaned up." Qiao Wu walked over and widened her eyes: "What's going on?" ”

Cheng Xin looked over, and the jewelry box was open: "Is it messy?" I look pretty neat. ”

Qiao Wu shook her head and opened the jewelry box: "Miss, these beads are precious, we are very careful in taking them, and we are also extremely careful in placing them, and we will never let these beads touch together." But these two strings are entangled. ”

said Qiao Wu was anxious: "Someone must have sneaked in." ”

"Then let's see if there's any missing jewelry." Minqi hurriedly helped to check.

Qiao Wu tapped it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, there is nothing missing." ”

Cheng Xin said: "Let's see if there's anything more?" ”

Xiaoshu shouted: "Don't be any kind of frame-up, frame-up, or poison or something." A must-have plot for house fighting! ’

'Xiaoshu, I'm afraid you're not thinking too much, in this mansion, I don't even have a target for a house fight. ’

Cheng Xin said this, but touched the silver hairpin in his sleeve.

In a moment, Qiao Wu finished counting all the jewelry.

"One is not much, one is not too much."

"Okay, got it. Mei Ran, you will check in a moment to see if there is anything unusual in this room. Minqi, when you go out in the future, you must leave someone in the yard. ”

"Yes."

Min Qi took the comb and helped Cheng Xin comb his hair.

"Miss, you haven't said it yet, why did you make the little grandfather so angry. The temper of the little grandfather is obvious to all in the house, and it is excellent. ”

Cheng Xin shook his head: "Buddha said, don't say it." ”

When this matter is said, no matter how good the little grandfather's temper is, he has to pick up a knife to cut her.
