Chapter XI

"What else can you guess?" Songhe couldn't help but ask.

"Therefore, my father-in-law didn't come late because the sedan chair slave walked slowly."

"Why?"

Alan lowered her head, let the maids arrange flowers on her head, and whispered: "The county lord said that the queen mother is an extremely polite person, and the servants around the master who speaks of etiquette naturally also pay attention to etiquette and follow the rules. Since I am the emperor's daughter and the princess of Xu Kingdom, my father-in-law, as a slave next to the queen mother, will naturally not be late for no reason. ”

"Then why are you late today?" Songhe then asked.

"What's the reason why my father-in-law has to delay halfway......" Alan squinted his eyes slightly, thinking in his head, "For example, the summons of the nobles, or...... Halfway through the assassination? Alain jerked his mouth over. Assassinate whom? Assassination of the Queen? Princess? Or is it the old man around the Queen Mother?

"Today, my father-in-law was going out with us. It wasn't until the bottom of the mountain that I wanted to change the sedan chair and go up the mountain, so I sent someone to report that my father-in-law's body and bones couldn't stand the bumps, so I asked to rest in place for a while, and when we arrived at the Bone Fu Temple, we naturally caught up. The queen and I were not attacked at all along the way. Songhe said.

If it had been an assassination that had taken time to be resolved, the Assassin would have been lying in ambush near the bottom of the mountain. The location of the Gufu Temple is already remote, and the village under the mountain is a little far away, so it is even more difficult to be found.

It's not for the queen, it's not for the county lord, it's not for the map and the general. Assassinating a father-in-law is naturally even more meaningless. On the way back, there are only ...... left

"Someone is going to kill me!"

Songhe nodded with satisfaction: "It's quite smart." ”

"General Tuhe knows I'm in danger." Alan thought of the performance of Shi Tuhe on the mountain and said.

"Lao He knows that you will be in danger, but he does not know about this assassination. It should be said that none of us expected anyone to be so anxious. Songhe folded his arms and said.

"Do 'we' mean the county lord, the general Tuhe, and my master?"

"Well, maybe someone else." Matsutsuru's answer was ambiguous.

Alain stopped talking.

Songhe was slightly surprised and asked, "No problem?" ”

"Nope."

"Don't you even ask who your mother is?"

"Don't ask, since you don't take the initiative to tell me, then it's probably a fake identity if you ask. It must not be easy to be a woman who can almost be a queen, otherwise I would not have grown up in the Bone Fu Temple, and I would even be assassinated. Alan looked at the slightly surprised Songhe, a little proud, and said, "And what kind of curiosity did you just say, the county lord, to be able to bear it, I think this secret should be related to my mother." ”

Then Alan was silent for a while, and asked a little worriedly: "County Lord, will I be assassinated every day and die if I am not careful?" ”

When Songhe heard this, he gave her a big smile: "No, at least there are still us for now." We'll try to protect you. ”

Then, Matsuru took Alain to learn some basic etiquette. Alain took a careful note, but it was particularly awkward to do. Songhe comforted: "Today is just a scene, don't be afraid when the time comes, just follow me." Even if there are some minor flaws, others won't say much. When the time comes to see the Queen Mother, I will naturally arrange for you to teach etiquette. ”

Alain and his party then drove towards the palace. Alan thought he could go straight in, but he didn't expect to stop many times along the way. First, before entering the palace, the chariots and horses were routinely inspected to check whether anyone was hiding under the chariot or mixed in with the tail guards. Next, before entering the palace, check the pass worn by the respective team. As the master, Alan naturally doesn't have to get out of the car, but he has to wait obediently.
