Chapter 673: Nightshade's Suspicion
Lin Ruan woke up, and it was already dark outside.
She slept soundly last night, because she guessed Princess Chu's mind and knew that as long as she was in this courtyard, Princess Chu would not let her have an accident. What's more, she has her own way to save her life.
For example, the small snakes with dark bodies that are coiled on the beams of the house at this moment.
After waking up, Lin Ruan called out the rats hiding in the hole. The big rat dragged the sack to her run, put it down, and sniffed around on the table.
Lin Ruan took two pieces of the snack on the table and handed it to it, it couldn't move a single mouse, it squeaked twice, and a big mouse crawled out of the hole, and the two rats worked together to move the snack back into the hole.
Seriously, Lin Ruan still had some rejection in his heart about what the mouse had touched, but now this situation was not the time to be hypocritical, so he tried his best to ignore the discomfort in his heart, opened the cloth bag, and pulled out the letter paper inside.
There is a lot of content written on it, and the first line reads: You are safe and sound, and I am very happy.
Lin Ruan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and then continued to look down, in this letter, she simply wrote about what happened after Xiao Jingchen arrived at Yongqing Mansion, knowing that everything was going well with him, she felt a lot more at ease.
After connecting with Xiao Jingchen, Lin Ruan was not in a hurry at all, destroyed the note and stuffed it back into the mouse hole, and then said to the door: "I'm up, come in and wait for me to dress and wash." ”
The maid outside the door opened the door and walked in, saluted respectfully, and then stepped forward to wait for Lin Ruan to get up and change clothes and wash.
These two maids are the people of Princess Chu, they have no kung fu, and they are calm and quiet, which makes Lin Ruan very satisfied.
After breakfast, Princess Chu brought someone over, "Did the county lord sleep well last night?" Can the two rings be used easily? Is the food smooth? ”
Lin Ruan said politely: "Thank you for the princess's concern, it's all good." If it wasn't for the wrong place, I thought I was here to play. ”
Princess Chu covered her mouth and smiled: "The county lord has a good attitude, but it's okay to treat this trip as a play." Since I'm here to play, I'll take the county lord out for a walk? It's boring to be bored in the yard all the time. The scenery in this mountain is quite eye-catching, and there is a waterfall behind the mountain, which is a good place to relax. ”
Lin Ruan had already figured out the situation in the mountains a long time ago, but if she could go out for a walk on the spot, she would naturally not refuse. "Then there is Princess Lao."
Because the King of Chu and his wife had the heart to win over Lin Ruan, they behaved very friendly to Lin Ruan, and they didn't hide anything from her, took her out of the house, and slowly went to the waterfall behind the mountain along the path.
Along the way, I met a lot of people in the dark pavilion.
When he arrived at the small pavilion opposite the waterfall and sat down, Lin Ruan looked around, the scenery in the mountain was indeed not bad. Now at the beginning of March, it is the time when the mountain flowers are blooming, and the purple and red are particularly beautiful. The waterfall is about more than ten meters high and more than two meters wide, and it flows down from the mountain, which is very meaningful. Coupled with the sound of birds in the forest, it is so pleasant.
It's just that the temperature in the mountains is much lower, and I even feel a little cold when I sit in the pavilion. In the summer, it's a great place to escape the heat.
A maid came over and put some snacks on the table, and Princess Chu stretched out comfortably, "The conditions in this mountain are poor, and this place is the most satisfying to me." The county lord doesn't have to be formal, just like in his own home. ”
Lin Ruan has never been a polite person, so he immediately took a pastry and served flower tea to eat and drink contentedly, and then enjoyed the beautiful scenery, it was not the same as a vacation.
Seeing this, Princess Chu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly, this Fuyou County Lord is really different.
In the next few days, the King of Chu did not show up, and Lin Ruan, accompanied by the Princess of Chu, wandered around the mountains in various ways, and even went to see the training in the dark pavilion.
Lin Ruan was also very cooperative, playing, eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping every day, not asking anything, not saying anything, and not even showing a little curiosity.
This made the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu a little puzzled, how could this Fuyou County Lord look at the boundless heart? Are you really not worried about your safety? Don't you wonder about the situation in the mountains?
However, there is one thing that makes them feel at ease, that is, since Lin Ruan called, in addition to cleaning up Lin Xiang'er and the two girls with the wrong attitude, he has not made any trouble, not even finding fault, let alone trying to escape, in short, he is so well-behaved that they muttered in their hearts.
If Lin Ruan knew what the couple was thinking, he was afraid that he would burst into laughter.
She has not been idle these days, and when she went out with Princess Chu every day, she used her ability to find out the situation of all the mountains and forests she could touch, and then drew a simple map, which clearly figured out the deployment of the King of Chu's troops, and the number of people was accurate to single digits. He also monitored the actions of the king of Chu at all times, including who he met and what he did every day, all of which were clear.
Every night, she would use different birds to deliver letters to Yongqing Mansion.
After Xiao Jingchen received Lin Ruan's letter, he was also in full swing arranging the attack on Qianzhong Mountain. By the way, according to the hint in Lin Ruan's letter, some of the nails hidden by the King of Chu in the city of Yongqing Mansion were pulled.
They are all determined that this time they must uproot and eradicate the power of the King of Chu.
Just when Lin Ruan thought that she could stay safely and securely in Xiao Jingchen and lead the men and horses to capture Qianzhong Mountain, an accident suddenly happened.
The Dire began to suspect her.
Because the nails in the city of Yongqing Mansion were pulled out one after another, they began to be unable to fully grasp the information in the city of Yongqing Mansion, so the night man suspected Lin Ruan, thought that she was the ghost, and suggested to the king of Chu to kill Lin Ruan.
"Lord, there are really too many suspicious things about this Fuyou County Lord, when the rudder of Mochizuki Mountain was broken by the imperial court, she was in Xiao Jingchen's team, so her subordinates have reason to suspect that there is something wrong with her, otherwise it is impossible for someone like Xiao Jingchen to take a useless woman in that situation, and specially sent someone to protect her. For the sake of the great cause of the Lord, please also ask the Lord to think twice and immediately execute the Lord of the Blessed County to prevent future troubles. ”
King Chu frowned: "You only suspect, and there is no evidence that she really has a problem." Xiao Jingchen took her, maybe he was just confused by her appearance for a long time, man, this kind of behavior is not strange. ”
He himself often brings the beautiful concubines in the family with him, so he doesn't feel anything.
Ye Wei forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, what kind of person Xiao Jingchen is, his subordinates know very well, he will never show favoritism in major events." He took Lin Ruan with him, it must have been because she was of great use. ”
