Chapter 31: Leng 11 6
Murong Chong suddenly figured it all out:
First, Emperor Mingzong's marriage was actually requested by Lord Minhui herself, she didn't want to marry into the prince's mansion, naturally, with her mind, she could think of a deeper step, that is, she didn't want to become a bargaining chip for King Ye and the prince;
Second, in her will to Emperor Mingzong, she did not choose Su Muyu, who was her childhood sweetheart, but chose him Murong Chong, so that the Su family and the prince would not turn against each other, and Su Boyu and Su Muqing would not be caught in the middle;
Third, such a generous gift today can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill, and he sent his handle, that is, the identity of Leng Shiyi, to him, of course, this can also be understood as a warning, aiming to remind him: Although she has no malicious intent, she has the second killer in the world as a guard, and she is not powerless to fight back.
Minhui, Minhui. Those who are "sensitive" are brilliant; Those who are "wise" are less wise and accessible.
The title given to her by Emperor Mingzong is really worthy of the name!
She was only a fifteen-year-old lady in the middle of the year, but her city guts, as the old butler said, was comparable to the late Lord Shude, and even surpassed.
Murong Chong also heard the old housekeeper mention that in his father's life, the most beloved woman was Princess Yu, but the woman he admired the most was the lord of Shude, who did not let her eyebrows.
The dark eyes are like two deep whirlpools, and she is really not a simple woman! A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he clenched the paper in his hand.
No wonder she offered to add a few guards to keep her safe, it turned out that the real purpose was here!
If it weren't for the prince's secret investigation and finding clues about King Ye's involvement, Murong Chong would probably suspect that even the so-called "kidnapping" was arranged by her.
Well, that's good!
He was counted in it!
Another woman with ulterior motives!
Originally, he was worried that this Minhui County Lord, who was favored by Emperor Mingzong and cared for by the Lin family, would be entangled with him because of this paper marriage, which made him feel guilty.
Now, it seems, this is not the case. This Minhui county lord is really a "suitable" princess Rong!
"Master...... You, you're ......"
Looking at Murong Chong's uncertain face, sometimes angry, sometimes happy, and at this moment there was still a hint of ill-intentioned smile on the corner of his mouth, Tao Fu couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Every time the prince shows this expression, someone is usually going to be unlucky.
Who is going to be unlucky this time? Princess-to-be?
Tao Fu was taken aback by his own idea, and quickly vetoed it: No, no. Who could that be? Cold Eleven?
By the way, it must be this cold eleven!
He doesn't look like a good person!
Suddenly appearing in Beishi today, it must have been premeditated and deliberate! The prospective princess must have been deceived by him, so she brought him back to the Lin Mansion.
Will the princess-to-be be in danger?
Murong Chong snorted coldly in his heart, how could she be in danger?
"Ah Fu, tell me to go down, no one else will know about Leng Shiyi's affairs."
"Yes. Belch...... Yes? Tao Fu was a little confused.
Murong Chong's deep gaze swept at him, Tao Fu quickly shrunk his neck, and promised: "Don't worry, master, I will go and order immediately, and I promise not to let others know!" ”
After that, Tao Fu withdrew from the study, still worried about whether the princess-to-be would be in danger.
Murong Chong's gaze returned to the manuscript in his hand again, flipping through the pages one by one.
"Those who are in the battlefield first and treat the enemy will be in the field, and those who will be in the battlefield and tend to fight will work, so those who are good at fighting will cause others but not others."
Lin Ruo's preemptive move was really powerful, so clever that it was beyond his expectations.
Originally, I just thought that he was just a well-behaved cat, and he was used to pleasing Emperor Mingzong and the Empress Dowager. But I never thought that this cat's claws are also very sharp, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched a few times!
Murong Ran felt a little excited, the border had been peaceful in recent years, there were few wars, and he didn't like to intrigue with those who were tricky in the court. Lin Ruo's appearance made him feel a little itchy.
This little woman who provoked him does have some ability!
Straightening the paper in his hand, putting it back into the sandalwood box, locking it, and putting away the key, Murong Chong shouted to the empty study: "No blame." ”
A dark figure knelt silently in front of the study: "Lord Wang! ”
"Deliver the news with no ink and no trace, do everything carefully, and if there is no emergency, you don't have to report it."
"Yes."
He gave up his hand without asking the reason, and directly obeyed the master's orders.
"There is one more thing, you go and find out why Leng Eleven came to Bian'an City."
"Cold noodles are impermanent, cold eleven?"
"Yes, he's now, in the Lin Mansion."
Wu Ji frowned: Lin Mansion, where the quasi-princess is.
"The prince is worried about the safety of the county lord?"
"Worried?" Murong Chong sneered disdainfully, "If Leng Shiyi really came for Lin Ruo's life, I would like to thank him well for solving this king's trouble." ”
Blameless, isn't the prince?
"Three years ago, Leng Eleven left Nine Stars, and since then there has been no trace. After many years, he appeared again, and he was still in Bian'an City! This king should know to whom he is entrusted and whose object he is. ”
"My subordinates know."
Murong Chong lowered his voice, but his voice was extremely sharp: "Don't show your feet." ”
The hostility between the Lin family and the Gu family is well known to everyone in Bian'an City.
In the past ten years, the Lin Mansion has jumped from an ordinary imperial merchant to the richest man in Bian'an City, but the Gu family only retains the appearance of the Sanpin Shangshu Mansion outside the inside. Between one rise and one fall, anyone with a discerning eye can see who is hot and who is at the end of the road.
But there is a person in the Gu family, but Lin Ruo can't bear him.
Lin Ruo did not kill the Gu family, firstly, because she still had the concept of the 21st century and did not want to take the lives of others indiscriminately; Second, it is because of this person - Gu Yannian, the second son of the Gu Mansion.
is also the son of the Lu family, Gu Yannian, who is five years older than her, is different from her parents and siblings, he is the only person in the entire Gu Mansion who treats her well except for her sister Gu Manxi and Youcao.
Gu Yannian's love for Lin Ruo is also one of the reasons why Gu Manni targeted her - her own brother actually favored an outsider!
Even if the current situation of the Gu family is caused by her, when the two meet, she will still call him Second Brother Gu, and he still calls her Little Sister.
As Gu Yannian said, Lin Ruo was kind to the Gu family. The reason why the Gu family has today's situation is that his father Gu Ting and biological mother Lu are to blame, and Lin Ruo just begged Emperor Mingzong to let her move out of the Gu Mansion. If Lin Ruo really wants to seek revenge on the Gu family, I'm afraid that the Gu family won't even be able to have this bit of dignity now.
It's a pity that the people of the Gu family didn't think so, they attributed all the faults to Lin Ruo, and even didn't hesitate to secretly stand on King Ye's side.
And his sister Gu Manni, who is still waiting to be written, is one of the planners of Lin Ruo's attack a few days ago.
Seeing that Lin Ruo, who she hated, actually flew up to the branch and became the concubine of King Rong, she was jealous in her heart, and the Gu Mansion had been sending people to keep an eye on the Lin family, keeping an eye on Lin Ruo, and knowing Lin Ruo's route every time she traveled. This time, if it weren't for King Ye's calculations and not being ruthless, I'm afraid Lin Ruo would have died a long time ago.
After hesitating for a few days, Gu Yannian really made up his mind and secretly handed a note to the prince of Jingping Hou Su's mansion, asking him to find a way to deal with the informant who was guarding the alley and staring at the Lin family.
