Song Zhan sat on the bed with his clothes draped, his face full of anger that had disturbed his sleep.

"What's going on!"

"Back to Shizi, Tongfu has made trouble with assassins. said that he ran to this floor of the palace, but he didn't dare to go upstairs to search, and Master Tong was already waiting in the study. ”

"Assassins?" Song Zhan turned his head to look at the candle flame jumping on the table, and looked incredulous, "The sun hasn't risen yet, let alone the assassin who got up from the west." ”

Although he didn't believe it at all, he still got dressed and strode out of the wing.

In the study, Tong Huaiyuan looked at the palace servants guarding the door with a calm face, and snorted coldly in his heart.

What about the glamorous and high-ranking family, what about the Huaiwang Mansion of the Holy Family, who knows how much filth there is? Dare to bully my daughter, it's too much of a bully!

When Song Zhan walked to the study, he saw two palace housekeepers guarding the door like gods, stretched out his head to look at Tong Huaiyuan, whose face was cold and frozen, retracted his head and asked in a low voice.

"Who told you to stay here?"

"Returning to the world, it's... It's the princess. ”

The two butlers glanced at each other, raised their sleeves tremblingly, and wiped the cold sweat from their heads in unison.

It's really a fairy fighting mortal who suffers, on one side is the court official and the other is the palace housewife, of course it's best not to offend two, if you have to offend one person, you can only offend this child.

The princess strictly ordered to keep an eye on the people of the Tong family, as a subordinate, what else could she do except do it, it was too difficult......

Song Zhan waved the two away with a cold face, tried to raise a harmless smile of a human being, and slowly entered the study.

Tong Huaiyuan stood up expressionlessly, and after making a solemn official salute to Song Zhan, he sat down calmly.

"This Shizi heard that there was an assassin in the Tong Mansion, what is going on with this?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, don't worry, the lower officials ask His Royal Highness the Prince to take a look at this first."

Tong Huaiyuan took out the physical evidence handed over by Shuangxi from his sleeve pocket, and Song Zhan watched Tong Huaiyuan put the silk handkerchief wrapped in things in front of him.

"Shizi, please open it and take a look, do you have this thing?"

Song Zhan opened the silk handkerchief with a wave of his hand, revealing the contents inside, which was a silver hairpin.

"This was left by the murderer?"

"Exactly."

Song Zhan looked at the silver hairpin and fell silent, frowning tightly.

"Lord Tong, can you elaborate on the details, if it is really related to the female dependents of my royal family, this son of the world must be strictly investigated."

Tong Huaiyuan couldn't figure out what kind of temperament this son was, whether he wanted to cover up or really help, he didn't have the patience to wait for the palace to find out the results at the moment.

"The lower officials are afraid, how dare they bother the prince to go out in person. Xia Guan only needs the prince to invite the female relatives of the mansion out, Xia Guan's guards injured the assassin, and there are tools to commit the crime here, it should not be difficult to catch the assassin. ”

Facing this five-grade petty official who pinched his beard and didn't give himself face at all, Song Zhan only raised his eyebrows.

"Master Tong wants to see the ladies of the palace in the middle of the night, it doesn't seem to be very beyond, right?"

"Xiaguan is only a five-grade official, reasoning shouldn't be so rude, but the matter involves the little girl of the lower official, and the subordinate can't keep his mouth shut."

"Miss Tong San?!"

Song Zhan was really surprised this time, why did he get involved with that little girl, didn't he say that the fever had subsided?

Although it is a big nuisance for men and women, and there is an embarrassment between the palace and the show girl, since the little girl fell ill, she has not shown too much concern, but Imperial Doctor Yan has also told her to see carefully.

"Since the matter involves a show girl, the matter is serious, please wait for a while."

Song Zhan glanced at Su Yu, and Su Yu gave up his hand and went down.

At half a cup of tea, all the rough maids and maids of the palace gathered in the lobby on the first floor.

Tong Huaiyuan glanced at the restless crowd, and looked at Song Zhan beside him with displeasure.

"His Royal Highness, the lower officials seem to be talking about the ladies of the whole palace."

Of course, Song Zhan knew that people were uneven, and an eye knife swept towards Su Yu, who lowered his head.

"What a big breath for the child!" Princess Huai Chen slowly walked down the stairs with a cold face and a piping golden cloak, "Concubine Ben really opened her eyes today and saw what it means to commit the following crimes. ”

Bi Wu helped Chen down the last step, led Chen to his seat, put on the thick cushion, waited for Chen to sit down, served tea, and then respectfully retreated behind her.

"Lord Tong is checking the posture of the palace at every turn, and I don't know that I think you are the Dragon Shadow Guard who is today."

Chen Yan lifted the lid of the tea, skimmed the tea, and opened her mouth with a cold expression.

In the face of the princess's ridicule, Tong Huaiyuan was not moved in the slightest, and replied respectfully.

"The princess praised it falsely, if the lower official can really become His Majesty's Dragon Shadow Guard, what a glorious it is, and the little girl will not be assassinated so much."

"What do you mean?!"

Chen Yan only knew that Tongfu was making trouble, and Tong Huaiyuan took the opportunity to embarrass the female family of the palace, but he didn't know that it was really so serious, the official lady was killed, and she was still a girl to be drafted, so it was not something that could be dismissed in a few words.

"Mother, please see." Song Zhan took a few steps forward and spread out his palms, "This is the murder weapon seized in Lord Tong's mansion." ”

"How can such an ordinary silver hairpin be determined to be someone from our palace, and there is no evidence to slander the palace, Lord Tong, you are making a false accusation."

Chen Yan looked at the silver hairpin in Song Zhan's hand for a long time, and didn't see a conclusion, what he usually wears is of the highest grade, this style is ordinary and old, and the old silver hairpin will not catch the eye at all, even in the palace, a slightly decent subordinate is also wearing a gold-covered hairpin.

"In addition to the hairpin, the assassin was also slandered by the guards in my palace, the princess only needs to invite all the ladies in the palace out, and the lower officials can catch the assassin."

"What if you can't catch it?"

"The lower officials are at the disposal of the mother, even if the above table asks for resignation from this official position, it will be made."

The entire hall fell into stagnation because of the tough aura of Tong Huaiyuan and Princess Huai, and everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

"Good! As the child said, come on! Invite all the ladies of the palace to the hall. ”

Chen Yan's slightly raised eyeliner was drawn slightly because of the hurry that came out, and the eyeliner was slightly longer, which looked extremely cold.

Tong Huaiyuan looked at the women who walked downstairs one after another, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, no one was injured? ! Didn't Double Happiness say that the assassin was injured?

Shuangxi was standing beside Tong Chen at the moment, his eyes were firmly fixed on those women, especially when he saw Mingyue, he subconsciously took a step.

It's strange, why is this person okay at all? At that time, I obviously heard a sound of breaking the air, and then there was a cry of pain, wasn't it her?

In the wing room, Pearl was so anxious that she didn't even notice that Tong Qingyan woke up.

As soon as Tong Qingyan opened her eyes, she felt sore, as if she had been beaten by the crowd, and her throat hurt as if she had been cut with a blunt knife.

Looking at the pearl that had been spinning in place, Tong Qingyan settled down, struggled to prop herself up, and saw that she was about to sit up, but suddenly her elbows weakened, and the whole person fell back to the bed, letting out a muffled snort.

"Miss, are you awake?!"

As soon as Pearl turned her head when she heard the voice, she saw Tong Qingyan frowning.

"Miss, why don't you call the slave when you wake up, the slave and the maid are serving you. What are you polite to the slave maid, my cousin explained, even if the fever subsides for so many days, you will be very weak, you still have to rest more......"

Listening to Pearl's broken thoughts, Tong Qingyan wanted to roll her eyes, but found that she was a little powerless, so she raised her hand and patted Pearl on her bun, finally interrupting her chatter.

"Miss? Oh, you want to drink water, slave and maid serve you. ”

Seeing Tong Qingyan poking her throat with a painful expression on her face, Pearl hurriedly poured a glass of honey water and waited for Tong Qingyan to drink it, cup after cup, cup after cup.......

Tong Qingyan, who drank a large pot of honey water, felt that she had finally come to life at this moment, let out a long breath of depression in her chest, and looked at the pearls with sharp chins.

"I'm sick, and I'm tired of you."

"Miss is just right, save some effort and talk less."

"Tell me why I'm so sick? Have you found the person who hurt me? ”

"Someone sneaked into our wing room in the middle of the night, and opened the window of the lady's wing room with a hairpin, causing the miss to blow the cold wind, and the miss was about to lose half her life due to seasickness, but the result was a high fever and almost ......."

Pearl covered her mouth and didn't dare to curse her own lady again, Tong Qingyan also understood the general idea, and motioned to Pearl to continue to talk about catching the bad guy.

In the hall at this time, Tong Huaiyuan looked at the energetic but unkind appearance of the ladies of the palace, turned around and walked to Shuangxi's side, and asked in a low voice.

"Didn't you say the assassin was injured? Where is the injury? ”

"The slave and maid were pulling the window sash in the side room, and they only heard the sound and didn't see where the injury was."

Tong Huaiyuan's eyes widened and he looked at Shuangxi, pinched his beard and began to worry.

Is there a mistake, I didn't see where the injury was and said that I was so sure, now it's okay, I can't do it by the injury to identify the assassin, what's the use of relying on that broken hairpin?!

Just when Tong Huaiyuan was in trouble, a terrible cry suddenly came.

"My son———"

"It's Madame's voice!"

Tong Huaiyuan picked up his robe and ran away, everyone in the hall was stunned, and Shuangxi suddenly woke up, shouted Miss, and ran away.

Song Zhan and Princess Huai glanced at each other, their faces sank, and they followed the people in Tong's mansion, Chen Peiwen listened to more and more cries, and also walked towards Tong Qingyan's wing.

Mingyue also wanted to follow the princess and the prince closely, but when she saw that the servants in the hall began to whisper to each other, she hesitated for a moment and decided to stay and preside over the overall situation.

In the wing, Wen Lan's hair was scattered, and the hairpin rings that fixed her hair bun were scattered on the ground, pinching a handkerchief to hide her face and cry.

The person on the bed was now covered with a white cotton handkerchief, motionless.

Tong Huaiyuan hugged his wife who was sitting on the ground tightly, refusing to believe that his daughter had just left, and wanted to step forward to uncover the cotton handkerchief, but because Wen Lan was crying, he pulled his sleeve out of breath, and he couldn't move an inch.

Shuangxi was also sitting on the ground at the moment, unable to believe it, why did he leave for such a while and the young lady died? Isn't the fever already gone, how can it be......

"My daughter, my miserable daughter......"

When Song Zhan and the others arrived, the scene was chaotic, the small wing room was crowded with people from Tongfu, crying and crying, standing at the door and looking in, they could vaguely see the person on the bed with a white veil on his face.

"Why did you die, that girl......"

Song Zhan looked at the dazzling white and muttered to himself, Chen Yan was also shocked, although it had nothing to do with him, but in the end it was a human life, Wen Lan cried so miserably, it touched the mother's heart, Chen Yan also picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Chen Peiwen kept her mother's advice all the way, and if she couldn't speak, she wouldn't speak, and at this moment, looking at Song Zhan and her aunt, she couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.

"Cousin and aunt, don't be sad, our palace has also sent a doctor, and we will do our best to say it, but this young lady of the Tong family is not blessed."

Chen Peiwen thought that she was very considerate, Song Zhan glanced back at her when she heard what she said, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she smiled at Chen Peiwen.

"Cousin......"

Chen Peiwen watched Song Zhan suddenly smile at herself, her cheeks flew crimson, and she was shy.

"I'll tell you a ghost story."

"What?"

"Look back."

Hearing Song Zhan's words, Chen Peiwen subconsciously turned her head, and let out a deafening scream when she saw Tong Qingyan standing behind her with long hair scattered and only a pale face in her middle clothes.

"Ah——— ghost!"

Tong Qingyan stepped back the moment Chen Peiwen shouted, dodging her panicked hand waving, and she should be slapped if she took a slow step.

Looking up at Song Zhan, whose eyes were full of light, Tong Qingyan nodded to express her gratitude for his cooperation.

This ghost story is well told......
