Chapter 578: Assassination
"Oh?" Chu Junlan's round eyes were surprised and he said incredulously, "A month ago? All the masters of the palace have gone? ”
"Yes." Mao Quan bowed his head.
Chu Junlan simply felt incredible.
The ladies of the prince's mansion were invited so easily, and they were still guests at other people's houses for a month. Where is this guest? It's clear that people are under house arrest.
"I can't imagine that the dignified King Huai'an is now so 'refreshing' in doing things, and he can say that whoever he invites to live will invite him to stay." Chu Junlan walked towards the front hall again.
Mao Quan followed behind Chu Junlan and lowered his head and said: "No, the villain is really surprised, the King of Huai'an has always been cautious and gentle in his work over the years, and this time he acted like this, I feel that the King of Huai'an seems to be a different person." ”
Chu Junlan sat down on the throne and said, "In this case, where is the prince now?" I should also go and see the prince. ”
Mao Quan's face was extremely sad: "If you return to the princess, the prince has been missing for many days, and I haven't seen the prince return home for more than two months." ”
Chu Junlan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, two months? Then it is very likely that Prince Gong "disappeared" after sending a letter to the capital.
The dignified prince, where can you say that if you don't see it, you will disappear? Could it be that you are doing something important? Or is there something wrong with Prince Gong?
Chu Junlan felt more and more that the water in Huaijing was not only deep, but also very muddy.
It's just that she didn't want to say anything bad to cause panic among the people in the house, so she only nodded slightly and asked, "How is the situation in the city now?" Have any of them started operating here? ”
Mao Quan seemed to have some of the same questions that Chu Junlan would ask, and was slightly stunned, then bowed his head and said: "Back to the princess, there are many families who have invested more or less in the construction of the palace, and now the power of Huaijing can be described as complicated. ”
Chu Junlan pondered for a moment: "What is the relationship between the Cai family and our family now?" After all, the palace and the Cai family have an in-law relationship. ”
"Back to the princess, these things can't be known to the affectionate villain."
Chu Junlan raised her eyebrows, this person is cautious, it seems that there are many things that she needs to investigate in person.
"That's it, that's the case, I'll go to the inner house to settle down first."
"Yes, the villain has already notified the housekeeper of the inner house, Mama Yuan, and the villain will send you." Mao Quan bowed down and made a gesture of please.
Chu Junlan obviously saw Mao Quan's relieved appearance, and shook his head funny.
When he arrived at the door of the hanging flowers, Mao Quan respectfully retreated.
A green-clothed woman with a thin and kind face smiled and led people to salute in front of the Hanging Flower Gate.
"Slave Yuan, please say hello to the princess."
"Mama Yuan is exempt." Chu Junlan personally picked up the person and smiled at the rest of the servants.
The servants were all seeing Chu Junlan for the first time, and they were all looking at her with intently looking at her at this time.
Chu Junlan didn't care, and asked Mama Yuan about the arrangements in the house now, so he didn't make many changes, and went back to Linlang Garden, where he lived with Xiao Xu.
At this time, Ziyuan and Ziyan had already packed the luggage they brought. Ming'er brought a black lacquer tray, and the white porcelain lid cup on it was warm milk.
"Princess, you eat a cup of milk first to warm your body."
Chu Junlan nodded with a smile, took a bite of the lid cup with his bare hands, and was warm from his mouth to the bottom of his heart.
"Have you settled your quarters?"
"It's all settled." Zi Yan smiled, "The house is spacious, and there are few people in our yard, so the slaves and maids naturally choose a place to live." ”
Zi Yuan also smiled: "Right now, the three of us can be so picky and selective, when the son of the world comes, the house will also arrange maids and little girls to come in according to the regulations, and then it will not be like now." ”
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue at Ziyuan.
Chu Junlan looked straight at it, and his mood was a little relaxed.
The situation in Huaijing is even more complicated than what Xiao Xu said, not only are all forces wrestling, but even the prince is gone, and the two princesses and the rest of their families are also temporarily under house arrest by King Huai'an.
It's no secret that she came to the city today, but I don't know what arrangements King Huai'an has next. She should have prepared in advance, no matter what.
Chu Junlan took a break after eating, the charcoal stove in the house lit the silver frost charcoal, and Ziyuan carefully put the soup woman in her quilt.
Chu Junlan slept very deeply this night, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, Chu Junlan suddenly felt that an inexplicable aura was approaching. The vigilance she had cultivated over the years made her suddenly open her eyes, and her eyes looked at the pale pink Babu bed tent with clear eyes, and faintly heard the sound of tiles being gently stepped on the roof.
There was a sudden excitement in his heart, and Chu Junlan immediately turned over and fell to the ground and held the dagger in his hand.
Zi Yan and Zi Yuan were still dozing off in the Luohan bed outside, but when they saw that Chu Junlan was only wearing a snow-white middle coat, holding a dagger and listening to the movement outside, both of them were bluffed.
"Princess......" Shion lowered her voice.
Chu Junlan immediately made a booing gesture, his eyes signaled them to hide in the house, flew out of the door, jumped up, put his hand on the beam, turned over and jumped onto the roof.
At this time, night fell, there were no stars and no moon in the sky, and the warm light of the lanterns in the courtyard fell behind Chu Junlan, gilding her snow-white figure wearing only a thin middle coat with a layer of soft light, and also seeing the more than ten people in front of Chu Junlan clearly.
"It's you." Chu Junlan looked at the other party as the leader, and understood in his heart. This person is burly, in his early thirties, and she has an unforgettable memory, and she clearly remembers that this person is the guard next to Xiao Yunchang, the second son of the king of Huai'an.
"What advice do you have for sneaking into the palace?" Chu Junlan sneered and looked the dozen or so people up and down, "I haven't seen you stupid people who don't know how to mask when they 'do work'." ”
The faces of everyone immediately turned dark, and the person at the head was even more angry, and he waved his steel knife and said, "Up, take this girl!" ”
"Yes!"
More than a dozen people immediately rushed up.
Chu Junlan pulled out his dagger with a "bang" and went up head-on, even if he was fighting with these people.
The guards who were patrolling the house at night and Huo Yeqing and the others who were resting in the outer courtyard anxiously put on their clothes and rushed over to the mansion as soon as they heard the movement.
Huo Yeqing's face turned blue in a hurry, the prince handed over the princess to him, if he made people hurt, where would he have the face to see the master in the future?
It was only when Huo Yeqing got closer that he realized that his worries were really unnecessary, and the more than ten people on the other side were not opponents at all in front of Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan was like an old boy playing with naughty, turning around the dozen or so people, and some of them were left motionless in place as if they had been staked into wood, and the rest of them were still resisting with brute force.
Chu Junlan turned around neatly, the long hair on the back of his head drew a graceful arc, and he clicked another hand with his backhand, and the dagger in his hand was already on the neck of the person who was the leader: "Don't move, move again, I can't guarantee how long your head can stay in your cavity." ”
