Chapter 245: The First Clues
"Get out, get out of here!"
Seeing that Aunt Tong was furious again, the subordinates of Xirong Courtyard were all silent, but secretly pouted with disdain. Hanjin glanced at the room angrily, and dragged his lame feet away.
Zhilan went in with the freshly brewed tea, turned a blind eye to the mess in the house, and said as usual: "This is the tea set aside from the house this morning, and the slave smelled that it was this year's new tea, so she specially made a pot for my aunt, and my aunt should taste it." ”
Tong Ruoyao looked at her coldly and said, "I've fallen to the point where I am now, but you are still leisurely, are you also secretly laughing at me?" ”
Zhilan sighed: "Auntie, where is this, the slave maid is the aunt's person, so naturally she shares the honor and disgrace with the aunt and never abandons her." ”
Tong Ruoyao's face turned slightly pale, and said, "Then you still want to solve the current dilemma for me?" ”
Zhilan persuaded: "Auntie might as well listen to the slave's advice, it is an eventful time now, and it is not a good thing for my aunt to close the door." Anyway, now that the prince is not here, the princess doesn't dare to deduct our use, so why bother to fight for the long and short. ”
Tong Ruoyao snorted coldly: "She dares!" I just can't swallow this breath, no one dared to do this to me even if I was at home before, what is she! ”
Seeing that Zhilan was silent, Tong Ruoyao sank her face again, and said arrogantly: "I don't care, you must find a way to kill her majesty, otherwise I can't swallow this breath." ”
Zhilan pondered for a moment, looked at Tong Ruoyao's face, the expression in her eyes was dark and uncertain, and said, "In this case, you might as well make a big deal and see how she ends." Let's ......."
It was night, and everything was silent, and an exclamation suddenly pierced the night.
"Someone, there are assassins, catch the assassins!"
Recently, the palace guards have been rumbling, and this sound is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, which instantly makes everyone nervous, and the sound of "swish" swords out of the sheath is endless.
Gu Fang's injuries have been healed for the most part, but it was still Lian Yue who patrolled at night, and when he heard the movement, he immediately led people to search for the sound and chased him to the front of the door.
The situation was urgent, and he couldn't care about anything else, Lian Yue stepped forward and smashed the door, and heard the movement inside getting louder and louder, but no one came to open the door, and in a hurry, he kicked the door open, and the guards rushed in.
I saw a bright and bright blade, and the girl who had just screamed was suddenly silent. The subordinates who were originally running around all froze in place, for fear that one of them would not see clearly and hit the blade of the knife.
"Where are the Assassins? But someone was hurt? ”
The subordinates looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, Lian Yue was impatient, and was about to take people around to check, when he heard Tong Ruoyao's wailing sound from inside, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Lian Yue rushed in with someone, and just happened to collide with Zhilan who opened the door, and saw Zhilan said with an anxious face: "The assassin has just come, and our aunt was frightened, but fortunately, you came in time, and now he has escaped through the window." ”
When I entered the room, I really saw that the house was in a mess, the back window was wide open, but the person was gone, so I couldn't help but feel anxious, and asked, "Aunt Tong, have you ever seen the assassin's clothes?" ”
Tong Ruoyao held her forehead with a look of fainting, and was about to say something, when Zhilan took over and said: "The slave maid is just in front of him, the person is dressed in black, he is tall, and he can't see his face clearly when he covers his face with a scarf.
But he didn't seem to be looking for revenge but for someone, and only asked if we had seen a woman with a mole between her eyebrows, but fortunately you came in time, and he fled in a hurry. ”
Lian Yue's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and he turned around and left without saying a word. After everyone left, Tong Ruoyao glared at Zhilan and said, "What are you talking nonsense?" It's not that someone asks me and says I was almost killed, why do you pull out all this inexplicability? ”
Zhilan obediently listened to the training, and waited for Tong Ruoyao to say before saying: "The slave didn't expect people to come so quickly, and they all held knives, and they were afraid that they would miss the filling, so they said something wrong when they were in a hurry." Anyway, there is no proof of death at the moment, and even if they can't find anyone, they can't blame us. ”
Tong Ruoyao was angry, but when she thought of Fang Cai's cold blade, she couldn't help but be scolded.
said that Lian Yue listened to Zhilan's words and turned around and left, because he remembered Zhilan who was imprisoned.
He was in a hurry, and when he heard that the assassin was looking for someone, he suspected that he was Zhilan's accomplice. It wasn't until they broke into the place where they were held and saw people that they realized that there was no mole between the woman's eyebrows.
Lian Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and while letting people continue to search around the mansion, he guarded Zhirong. But what he didn't know was that someone had secretly followed him along the way.
"Squeak", a person came in from the back door of Si Yaju, lowered his head and hurriedly looked around, and then lightly entered Aunt Qin's bedroom.
Qin Ruhua was sitting in front of the window grooming, looking intently at her stunning face in the mirror, combing the satin-like shawl and black hair over and over again. Under the shadow of the lamp, she became more and more beautiful, but it was inevitably a little more eerie.
Guan's mother cautiously closed the door, but when she came in, she was not surprised to see this scene. He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, but he frowned at some thought, and only held the teacup in his hand and forgot to drink it for a while.
Qin Ruhua seemed to have finally come back to her senses, put down the comb and looked at Guan's mother from the mirror, and said coldly: "Three watches in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”
Mother Guan seemed to be preoccupied, and she was not in a good mood, so she said coldly: "This doesn't bother my aunt, my aunt is still worried about herself." What's the use of having a good skin, you can't even hook a man, it's as useless as your aunt.
The time you have been in the house is not short, let alone speaking in front of the prince, you have not been able to sleep yet, if the master knows, your brother ......"
These words seemed to have finally touched Qin Ruhua's bottom line, her face suddenly distorted, and she looked at Guan's mother with gloomy eyes and said, "I have listened to your arrangement to come to the capital and enter the palace, and every move in the palace is under your noses, what else do you want me to do?"
I said that I can do whatever I want, but I must not touch a single hair of Ah Cheng! ”
Mother Guan actually shrank subconsciously under this gaze, and then came back to her senses, but when she saw Qin Ruhua's appearance, she had to endure it for the time being.
Lian Yue led people up and down to search the palace, and as soon as it was dawn, the matter reached Bai Yanran's ears. Knowing that there was nothing unusual on Zhirong's side, she probably guessed that Tong Ruoyao was making trouble again, and she didn't take it to heart.
Gu Fang's intuition was keen, and after listening to the ins and outs, he wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing, Su Xin happened to come in with the medicine, and when he saw his appearance, he said: "You have a cold face all day long, I'm afraid that even Yue won't dare to enter the door." ”
Gu Fang's expression was relieved, he took the medicine bowl and drank it, and then he spoke: "I always feel that there is something strange about what happened last night. ”
Su Xin said disapprovingly: "Miss has said it, it's about Aunt Tong's moth again." Didn't even Yue take people to search all over the place, but the shadow of the assassin was not seen, so you don't have to make such a fuss. ”
Gu Fang nodded, but he was still skeptical. Su Xin had already changed her mind and asked, "Is that woman still unwilling to recruit anything?" ”
Gu Fang shook his head, and his face became gloomy.
"Although this woman doesn't know martial arts, she is a hard bone, and she doesn't say a word about everything, but I think she should know a lot of things, but I don't know how to pry her mouth open."
Su Xin also sighed: "The whereabouts of the prince are still unknown, and the princess doesn't say it, but she is more anxious than anyone else." Seeing that they had lost weight and their clothes were empty, I looked really distressed, and I didn't know what happened to the prince. ”
The person in Su Xin's mouth is helping the people in Zhuangzi repair the roof, he is neat, although he has good hands, he is much better than A Gui. Ah Gui is the coachman who drove the car for Mrs. Tan that day, his mother is a cook, and both of them live in Zhuangzi.
This Zhuangzi was Mrs. Tan's dowry that year, and later Tan Youwei was promoted, she followed Tan Youwei to take office, and Zhuangzi was left out in the cold, and only Agui's family guarded it. Later, Agui's father went, and only the two mothers were left.
Originally, the two of them lived in one room, and the other houses were idle and useless. Now that Mrs. Tan is back, naturally there are people waiting, and the other houses have not been repaired for many years, and there are many leaks after a spring rain.
Mrs. Tan was naturally a girl when she was around, and Agui was a young man, although he was a strong man, he was not scattered enough, so he almost fell off the roof.
Ji Lingyun's injuries were almost healed, but he still couldn't remember the past. He thanked Mrs. Tan for saving her life, but he couldn't watch it, so he took the errand.
He was already extremely handsome, otherwise he was so "famous" back then, but he was still the spring boudoir dream of many Miss Jingzhong. Now that he is "showing his skills", there are a group of girls standing below who are peeking.
Shu Yue was originally talking to Mrs. Tan, but it turned out that Mr. Lin was infatuated and did not die, so he actually found a matchmaker to come and make peace. Mrs. Tan saw that Mr. Lin was indeed sincere, and she had a good impression of that future life, so she wanted to mention Shu Yue again.
But Shu Yue now only has Ji Lingyun in her heart, thinking about the glory and wealth of the capital, where she is willing to do it. While perfunctory Mrs. Tan, she was thinking about how to take advantage of Ji Lingyun's amnesia to fly onto the branches.
There was a sudden whisper not far away, and the two of them looked for a voice, and saw the girls below looking up at the people on the roof.
Shu Yue recognized that the person was Ji Lingyun at a glance, and was stunned how could the prince do such rough work, so she heard Mrs. Tan on the side wonder: "Who is this person?" ”
Shu Yue's heart was shocked, and then she came back to her senses, and hurriedly covered up: "No, no one, it's about the craftsman who Agui found from the village to rest on the roof, it's messy here, let's go talk elsewhere." ”
Although Mrs. Tan felt that the figure of that person was inexplicably familiar, she didn't think too much about it, and turned around and talked to Shu Yue about Lin Gongzi. Shu Yue listened for a while, and said impatiently: "Auntie, you let people tell the Lin family that I have no intention of Lin Gongzi, and tell him not to pester me, I already have someone in my heart." ”
Mrs. Tan was taken aback, but no matter how she asked, Shu Yue didn't let go, just as her excuse. But the twisted melon is not sweet, and Mrs. Tan knew that this marriage would not be successful, so she had to sigh.
Since the marriage is not successful, it should not be delayed for too long, Mrs. Tan was afraid that she would have a quarrel with the Lin family, so she decided to come to the door in person to make it clear. As soon as Mrs. Tan left in the afternoon, Shu Yue finally lost her scruples completely.
