Although she was mentally prepared, Duchess An Guo almost collapsed, she couldn't stand steadily, staggered and fell to the chair on the side, but she still tried to hold back her tears, and asked in a trembling voice: "Where is Ling Yi?" Isn't there any news from Ling Yi? ”

Mr. Chen shook his head with a gloomy face, not knowing how to answer such a question. Duchess An Guo actually knew the news of Mu Biying's return from a serious injury on the way, and she also knew that this rag was brought back by her daughter's leopard.

It's just that she still doesn't want to believe that such a good two children, who were still at home more than ten days ago, talking and laughing loudly, how could they just go out and never come back? How so? How could it be!

Duchess An Guo sat down in her chair, only to feel a tightness in her chest, and she gasped a few times, trying to calm her emotions.

In the middle of the night, everyone hurriedly gathered in the study, the servants didn't even have time to serve tea and water, Duchess An Guo was grief-stricken, her face was white and short of breath, but there was not even a cup of hot tea in front of her, and a staff member immediately pushed open the window to let the night breeze come in and relieve Duchess Anguo's chest tightness.

And Mu Hongsheng, who is usually careful and sensible, surprisingly did not lean over to care about her mother as usual, she stood still and did not move, still staring intently at Mr. Sun who was bowing her head and writing a letter.

It's not that Mu Hongsheng doesn't want to comfort Duchess Anguo, but she has no ability to comfort others. Even she herself was immersed in deep pain, like drowning and unable to break free, where did she have the strength to comfort others, she understood the feelings of the Duchess of Anguo, but this made her even more immersed in despair and anger and unable to extricate herself.

Fortunately, Mu Hongshang was not completely controlled by the pain, she still had reason, she knew that the most important thing she should do now was to calm down, listen to Mr. Sun's command, deal with the matter in front of her, and don't waste the news that Jinyi sent back desperately.

Therefore, she hoped that her attention could be as focused as possible on the matter in front of her, and she did not even dare to look back at the face of the Duchess of Anguo, so she forced herself to keep an eye on Mr. Sun, who wrote the letter, and tried to focus all her attention on the letter.

This was the most urgent matter, and she could not let herself be immersed in pain. It is necessary to warn the fathers and uncles in the north that the emperor must thoroughly investigate the affairs of the fifth brother and Jinyi and avenge them......

There are so many things to do, she has to hold on, her brothers are in the north, and the fifth brother and Jinyi ......

In any case, only she and her sister-in-law are left in the family, and she has to stand up and become the support and hope of her grandmother, mother and uncles. She can't let the grieving elders continue to carry more burdens, so it's her responsibility to do everything.

Stand firm with a straight spine and be the backbone of your family! It's like grandmother has been doing it.

If it works, it will definitely be able to hold on! Mu Hongshang admonished herself over and over again as if she had been hypnotized.

Mr. Sun quickly wrote the letter, he hurriedly blew the letter paper, and he didn't even have time to wait for the ink to dry, so he made do with another piece of paper directly on the letter, folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope, and handed it to Mu Hongsheng who was waiting aside: "It's too late to set the car now, let Mr. Wu accompany you." After seeing Lord Jiang, hand him the letter, and then tell him everything about the family, remember, be sure to tell Lord Jiang in person, Miss. Miss, I know you're sad, and it's hard for you to let you speak in person, but ......"

"Gentlemen, rest assured." Mu Hongsheng took a deep breath, raised her head and nodded solemnly to the gentlemen in the room: "I will do it, I can do it." ”

Mr. Sun didn't continue to instruct, he looked at Mu Hongsheng's eyes, nodded slowly, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Okay." I'll leave everything to the eldest lady, go and come back quickly. ”

Mu Hongshang nodded, picked up the wind lamp on the table, turned around and ran out, and Mr. Wu followed her quickly.

It was a new moon and the light was dim, so it was not safe to ride out at night, and the only lighting tool that the knight and horse could rely on was the dim horse lamp. Therefore, no one will ride a horse in the middle of the night.

However, who can take care of those at the moment, in the middle of the night, the eldest lady and gentlemen of the Anguo Mansion all went out, and the people in the outer courtyard were of course alarmed, although no one knew what was going on, and the servants were inevitably a little frightened, but one by one they were still calm.

The servants and mothers-in-law on duty in the outer courtyard were already dressed one by one, and they were carried by the steward, and they stood neatly outside the courtyard of the study, waiting to listen to the orders, no one was talking and making noise, and everyone followed the instructions of the Duchess of Anguo, and tried to keep quiet as much as possible, so as not to alarm the old ladies and ladies in the inner courtyard.

In addition to the insiders of the Anguo Mansion, the first to discover the Mu family's abnormality was the Xiaojinwei officer who was on duty nearby.

Because the Anguo Mansion had sent all the guards at home to escort the military supplies, the emperor knew that Mrs. Mu did this in order to win the sympathy of the generals in Beijing, in order to gain stronger support in the matter of increasing the troops.

The emperor was actually quite willing to cooperate with Mrs. Mu's performance, so on the second day when the Mu family sent people out, the emperor pretended to sigh that the Mu family was not easy, and Mrs. Mu understood the righteousness, and transferred a group of Jinwei officers to go to the vicinity of Mu's house on duty every day.

This singing and pairing performance is actually somewhat useful, at least after Ling Yi and Jin Yi left Beijing with the Jin Lingwei armor soldiers, the direction of public opinion in the DPRK and China has quietly changed, and the attitude of the Jin Lingwei generals, who were very disgruntled before, began to soften, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

If Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi hadn't had an accident on the road, everything should have been perfect.

Yu Chengqi, the commander of the Xiaojin Guard, was a close confidant of the emperor, so he naturally understood his master's intentions very well, so he actively selected a group of clever guards to go over, and told them to be careful on duty, and to be more diligent than when they were on duty in other places.

These guards are all human spirits, and of course they understand what Yu Chengqi means, so in these days when they are on duty in the Anguo Mansion, the guards of Xiaojinwei are particularly active, whether it is a noisy day or a dead of night, they are never lazy.

These Xiaojin guards actually know in their hearts, even if Mrs. Mu sends out the guards, this Anguo Mansion is also very safe, no thief can't think about it like this, he has to go to the first gate of the Great Zhou to steal chickens and dogs. This day-to-day patrol is actually for the courtiers to see.

But because it was a play, their performance was very serious, so in the middle of the night, the guards on duty were still in good spirits.
