Chapter 457: Whose Message?
Lin Mumu likes a dim environment when she sleeps, so there is no light in the house, only two high-hanging lanterns outside the door are sporadically lit in the house.
Lin Mumu moved his position quietly, got up and hid beside the tent.
With the faint light, Lin Mumu saw a figure slowly walking towards the direction of the bed.
Lin Mumu also slowly raised the dagger in his hand.
Soon, the figure suddenly arrived in front of Lin Mumu's bed, stretched out his hand and opened the tent.
Lin Mumu's eyes narrowed, and when the dagger in his hand was about to be sent, he suddenly met a pair of slightly dull eyes.
"Stacking?"
Lin Mumu opened the tent and looked at her father, who was standing in front of her bed and leaned out half of his body to her bed, with a shocked expression.
Stacking didn't expect Lin Mumu to lie on the bed obediently, and she was stunned when she looked at her.
Lin Mumu pinched Diedie's chin and looked at it, to make sure that she was not wrong, she jumped out of bed, took out the fire fold on the side, lit the lamp in the room, and then returned to the bed to look at Diedie standing in front of the bed. "Die, what are you doing in front of my bed silently at night? Don't know that people are scared to death? ”
If she hadn't been more familiar with the contours of the stacked faces, her knife would have been pierced.
Stacked eyes glanced at Lin Mumu faintly, her body shook, and she looked at her in a daze. "Why did the county lord wake up?"
Lin Mumu poured a glass of warm water and took a sip. "I want to ask you what you're doing in the middle of the night before your bed?"
Stacked was stunned again, seeing that she was indeed standing in front of Lin Mumu's bed, she shook her head, and she couldn't remember how she came here. "Slave maid...... I want to see if the county lord is asleep. ”
Lin Mumu went back to the bed and sat down. "I fell asleep and was woken up by you, you stinky girl, it's done, it's still early, go and rest, I'm going to sleep too."
"Yes."
Stacking came to the lamp and was about to extinguish the candle, but was stopped by Lin Mumu.
"Just keep it on, it's easier to wake up at night."
Stacking action paused, nodded. "Yes."
After Lin Mumu finished speaking, she put down the tent and lay back on the bed.
Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Mumu lay down, there was a soft "click" sound in his ears.
She sat up from her bed, the candle in the room was still lit, and she could see the inside of the room at a glance.
She scanned around vigilantly to make sure that there was no one else in the room but her, and just as she was wondering, she saw a small ball of paper rolling down from the window, and the closed window was now open a gap, just enough to accommodate the small ball of paper into the room.
Lin Mumu moved the window, and a cold wind poured in in an instant, she endured the cold and looked out, there was no one outside.
Lin Mumu closed the window, picked up the note on the ground and opened it.
"Get out of here, it's dangerous."
Lin Mumu twisted her eyebrows and looked at the words on the note, the handwriting was unfamiliar, the note would be thrown into her room, obviously for her, the person who gave her the note wanted to tell her that this place was in danger and asked her to leave immediately?
She has the enemy of Nangong Allure here, which is indeed dangerous, but whether this person refers to Nangong Allure is unknown to her, and she is sure that she doesn't know anyone else in Xichu except for Nangong Zun and Nangong Allure, who will be this person who throws notes in the middle of the night?
Nangong Zun?
Lin Mumu shook her head, with her current relationship with Nangong Zun, he could tell her generously, why bother sneaking around in the middle of the night.
Lin Mumu thought about it for a while and didn't figure it out, so she could only put this question aside for the time being.
Lin Mumu went back to the bed and lay down, and when she was about to close her eyes, she heard the sound of someone opening the door, the sound was very slight, if she wasn't awake now, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Her brow furrowed again, and it seemed that she would not be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
She listened with bated breath to the movement outside, and waited for a few moments without seeing anyone enter.
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Mumu's eyes, could it be that she heard it wrong?
With doubts, Lin Mumu got up and walked out, and as soon as she walked outside, she found that the soft collapse where she was sleeping was empty.
Lin Mumu's face sank, and her heart rose when she thought of the silent Xi'er that night.
Just as she was about to go out to look for someone, the door of the house was pushed open, and she walked in with the wind, snow and cold.
Seeing Lin Mumu, Stacking was also stunned.
"Why did the county lord get up again?"
Lin Mumu looked at the hot water she was carrying in her hand and exhaled in her heart. "It's nothing, I can't sleep and want to drink hot water, so I called twice and came out to take a look."
Stacked into the inner sanctum with a kettle. "The slave maid thought that there was no hot water, so she went to the back kitchen and brought a pot." She put the hot water on the small stove and gave Lin Mumu a cup.
"The county lord will go to sleep after drinking water, and if you don't sleep, it will be dawn." Daxia Chinese Network
Lin Mumu nodded, yawned after drinking hot water. "You can sleep too."
"Yes."
Lin Mumu was indeed sleepy in the middle of the night, and fell asleep not long after lying back on the bed.
"The county lord, the county lord is not good, it is not good."
Sleeping groggily, Lin Mumu was awakened by a noisy scream.
She rubbed her temples, opened her somewhat dry eyes, sat up from the bed, and glanced at the hourglass beside her, it was already hourly.
"Stack."
"County Lord."
Stacked walked in from the outside. "What's going on, why is it so noisy outside?"
"Back to the county lord, it's Hongyun and them, they said that the tenth princess is gone."
"What?" Lin Mumu's sleepy insects were all gone all of a sudden, and she quickly put on her clothes and asked Hongyun and the others to come in and reply.
"County Lord, you can save our princess......" Hongyun was already swollen from crying, they were married with Zhao Qingyan, if Zhao Qingyan had three long and two short, they would never end well.
Lin Mumu drank a glass of water to completely sober up his brain. "Don't cry yet, make things clear to me from beginning to end."
"Yes, yes, after returning from the county lord yesterday, the princess said that she was tired, and she fell asleep not long after bathing, and the slaves and maids saw that the princess was sleeping calmly and retreated, and the slaves and maids were on duty at night, and the slaves and maids were in the outer room of the princess all night, during which the princess did not get up, but in the morning the slaves and maids entered the house to add charcoal to the princess's brazier and found that there was no one on the bed at all, and the slaves and maids immediately searched in the palace, but no matter how they searched, they did not find the princess." Hongyun trembled and explained the matter clearly.
"That is, you did not find anyone entering the princess's house, and the princess did not come out of the house?"
"Yes."
"What about the guards guarding outside the temple, didn't they find anything unusual?"
"The slaves and maids have asked, and the forbidden army said that they did not find anything abnormal."
Lin Mumu pursed her lips and didn't ask again, that night the people of Nangong Allure were able to quietly ask for Xi'er's life, which shows that the protection here is not invulnerable at all, and it is even full of loopholes.
"You immediately go to the Xichu Palace to explain the situation, and I will continue to send someone to find it."
"Yes, yes, slave and maid will go."
Asking Hongyun to inform the royal family of Xichu about Zhao Qingyan's disappearance instead of her going in person is also because she is not sure now whether it is someone else or someone from Nangong Allure who kidnapped Zhao Qingyan.
However, it can be seen from the fact that the other party just kidnapped people, not killed people, that the other party's main purpose is not Zhao Qingyan, but to achieve a certain goal through Zhao Qingyan, so she has to wait until that person's fox tail is revealed.
Guangling Palace is not small, although Emperor Jiahe doesn't pay much attention to them, but there are not many Western Chu officers and soldiers in Guangling Palace, and it is not easy for the other party to quietly get a person away, unless he himself is a person with extremely high martial arts who is not easy to be discovered.
Thinking of this, Lin Mumu dispatched all the people in the palace to look for them in Guangling Palace to see if it was possible for the other party to hide people in an inconspicuous corner of Guangling Palace.
While waiting, something was suddenly thrown into the house.
Lin Mumu's expression was abrupt, and he got up and chased out, but the other party's speed was too fast, and there were no other suspicious people outside except for those looking for Zhao Qingyan.
When Lin Mumu returned to the hall, he saw a paper ball falling on the ground.
She stepped forward and picked up the paper ball and opened it to take a look.
"If you don't want Zhao Qingyan to die, you should go out of the city immediately and go to the broken temple of the emperor in the west twenty miles outside the city, otherwise you will wait to collect Zhao Qingyan's body."
Lin Mumu clenched the note tightly, there was a small pearl earring in this note, this earring Lin Mumu had seen it on Zhao Qingyan's ear beads many times, and she had asked her, because this earring was not particularly good in terms of craftsmanship, but Zhao Qingyan liked it very much, because it was given to her by Ma Zhaoyi, and it was also a gift from Ma Zhaoyi's mother when she entered the palace.
Ma Zhaoyi's mother's family is not good, and it was already very good to be able to come up with such a pair of pearl pendants more than ten years ago.
Although Zhao Qingyan is a little coquettish, she really loves Ma Zhaoyi in her heart, and she has always loved the things Ma Zhaoyi gave her, especially the pair of pearl pendants Ma Zhaoyi still cherishes very much, Lin Mumu knows that Zhao Qingyan will not take off the pearl pendant even if she sleeps.
She put away the pearl pendant, tossed the note to the brazier beside her, and then opened her small box to bring some self-defense traps and powder.
Stacking people came back with a puzzled face. "What is the county lord going to do?"
"Out of town." Lin Mumu said without raising his head.
"Out of town? Does the county lord know where the Ten Princesses are? ”
Lin Mumu carefully put everything away, and she shook her head. "I'm not sure, but the other party sent me a message, telling me to go to the ruined temple outside the city immediately."
Stacked frowns. "It's too dangerous for the county lord to go alone, so the slave and maid go with the county lord."
Lin Mumu nodded. "You go find someone trustworthy and ask her to send this letter to Nangong Zun immediately, don't do it, you must send it to Nangong Zun in person."
Stacked up took the letter and nodded. "Yes."
Soon, Stack returned, leading two horses.
The two of them turned on their horses and headed straight out of the city.
