Chapter 216: Ignition (II)

Xiao Ying was in a panic all day long, thinking that he couldn't sit still, and he didn't have the heart to eat two bites of lunch, so he called Zhu Jian to him from time to time and asked him if the letter he sent someone to Xie Guifei yesterday had been delivered, and if Xie Guifei had replied...... Although he wanted to send someone to secretly kill Lu Huilin, in the end, he was still afraid that Tingwei Prison was extremely heavily guarded, afraid that the assassins sent would miss it, and he was distressed that he had no way out of Tingwei Prison at all!

Also, as long as he has some way in Tingwei Prison, he won't fly around like a headless fly now, even if he can't solve Lu Huilin neatly, he can find out some news, so that he has a chance to think about countermeasures.

The sky was dark, the study was quiet, and there was no lamp, which was inevitably a little terrifying.

There were some strange books piled up on the ground, mixed with various fire-sheltering books that had been opened, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were also among them, and there was nothing on the bookcase in front of them.

Xiao Ying sat cross-legged in front of the bookcase, her head buried low, only her hands supporting her forehead, looking as if she had lost three souls and seven spirits.

"Jade ......"

The faint call sounded faintly in the study, with a hint of gloom in the abruptness, Xiao Ying raised his head tiredly and glanced out of the door, but he never saw Zhu Lian's figure, he sighed, and hung his head weakly, and then continued to shout: "Yuxian!" ”

When the words fell, there was still no movement at the door, Xiao Yingke couldn't bear it anymore, straightened up, slapped the bookcase violently, and shouted angrily: "Yuxian!" His roar seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, and now he was slightly panting.

Zhu Jian was originally sitting comfortably in the study next door, but when he heard Xiao Ying shouting wildly, he hurried over, stood in front of Zhu Jian with his waist bent, and called softly: "Your Highness......"

"What? Before this king loses power, he can't summon you dog minions? Xiao Ying raised his buttocks and leaned forward, Zhu Jian couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he saw his distorted face, drooped his head, and didn't dare to look at him for a while, but just sneered: "Your Highness is serious, it is a momentary loss of consciousness and a mistake in proportion." ”

Xiao Ying snorted coldly as if laughing at herself, sat back again, and asked, "How is it, does the concubine have a reply?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Lian looked embarrassed and replied: "I haven't received ...... yet"

Xiao Ying was already desperate, her body collapsed backwards, leaning on the table behind her, gasping for breath, and muttering to herself: "What should I do...... What to do...... What should I do when my mother is gone...... Don't my mother want me anymore...... No! No...... No, it won't! ”

Zhu Lian seemed to be thinking about something, "Your concubine Niangniang set off for Guangling County early yesterday morning, at their speed, after walking for a day, the fastest and fastest will be to Yizheng, the little guy we sent to deliver the letter, the fast horse whip half a day to catch up, Niangniang should have received the letter last night, as for the reply, it stands to reason that it should have been delivered early in the morning, but why...... Your Highness, I suspect that someone is doing something in the way! ”

"You mean...... Someone intercepted the reply? Xiao Ying was stunned, just saw Zhu Lian nodded, and replied: "Your Highness, you think, King Wuling is bent on harming you, and he must be fully prepared, since he can design to separate the noble concubine Niangniang, he must have expected that you will communicate with Niangniang, so he secretly sent someone to intercept the reply, so as not to interfere with Niangniang and ensure that you are well-thought." ”

When Xiao Ying heard this, she was angry and annoyed, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "This king has sent three letters out, and the mother concubine has always been cautious, and she must have replied to three letters, you send someone to the city gate to keep an eye on it, you must get the reply before the fifth child!" ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it," Zhu Jian retreated, and when he walked out of the study, a hint of a gloomy smile appeared on his face.

Not long after Zhu Jian went out, a porter hurried over, ran to the outside of the study, looked inside with wide eyes, observed Xiao Ying's face, and cautiously reported: "Your Highness, Jingzhao Yin Lu Envoy is here again, I don't want to see you." ”

"Let him go, this king doesn't want to see him."

Xiao Ying sat on the stool in front of the bookcase, still leaning on the table, her face expressionless, her eyes glazed, and she was unusually calm when she spoke.

"Yes...... But he said that if he couldn't see His Royal Highness again this time, he wouldn't leave...... "The porter was hesitant, for fear that Xiao Ying would go crazy and bite people indiscriminately."

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xiao Ying was furious at the moment, suddenly straightened up and pushed the bookcase down, and howled twice: "Get out!" Let him! The people of the Lu family, this king is gone! ”

The porter was frightened, and quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, yes...... His Highness is angry, and the villain will go back to him......"

At this time, Lu Ji was standing at the gate of the Linchuan Mansion with the big sun waiting, just hoping that the porter would be able to lead him into the mansion to see Xiao Ying later, he was just such a son as Lu Huilin, and now that Lu Huilin was in prison for Xiao Ying's wealth, he naturally wanted to ask Xiao Ying for an explanation.

It's just that since Lu Huilin's accident yesterday, until now, he has visited the door four times, but he has been turned away.

It happened that Zhu Jian walked out of the mansion at this time, and when Lu Ji saw him, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Yuxian? Jade Xian! Yuxian's eldest nephew! ”

Zhu Jian was taken aback by him, but seeing that he had already pounced and grabbed his arm, he had to be polite to him, "Oh...... Daddy Lu, ......"

The four families of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang have always been world friends, and Lu Ji and Zhu Ji's grandfather are called brothers, according to their seniority, Zhu Ji should call Lu Ji "Daddy".

Lu Ji came up and asked, "Yu Xian, what happened to your Uncle Lu Shi?" What did Your Highness say? ”

"Daddy, don't worry, Uncle Shi's matter, His Royal Highness has been thinking of a way, yesterday I sent someone to send a letter to your concubine, and now I am waiting for a reply, you can rest assured, Uncle Shi will be safe."

"How can I not be in a hurry! Tax corruption is not a trivial matter, it is going to lose his head, not to mention that he also went to Tingwei Prison, who have you ever seen who can get out of Tingwei Prison by himself? The more Lu Ji spoke, the more excited he became, and his two feet gradually moved towards the house, and he said angrily: "And Your Highness, since he is thinking about countermeasures, why don't you let me go in and discuss together, what is the reason for avoiding me all the time?" Could it be that he is thinking about how to get rid of your uncle and pour all the dirty water on your uncle alone! ”

Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, then glanced left and right, hurriedly pulled Lu Ji outside the mansion again, and said in a suppressed voice: "Huh! Daddy Lu said cautiously, this is the Linchuan Palace, if you let His Royal Highness listen to this, you will not be punished for committing a crime? ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Ji didn't take Xiao Ying seriously at all, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted at the house: "What are you afraid of!" My old man is half buried in the ground, and he is afraid of some bullshit crime? I'm only afraid that my son will be a scapegoat in Tingwei Prison, and nothing else! ”

"Daddy Lu, calm down!" Zhu Jian was in a hurry, so he helplessly covered Lu Ji's mouth and said in a low voice: "Your Highness never thought of breaking up the relationship with Uncle Shi from the beginning, they are already grasshoppers on a rope, aren't they both prosperous and lossy?" ”

As he was talking, the porter also walked out, glanced at Lu Ji, and lowered his head helplessly, Lu Ji naturally knew what this meant, and Zhu Jian also looked back at Lu Ji's gaze, he was afraid that Lu Ji would toss again, and then persuaded again: "Daddy Lu, you listen to Yuxian's advice, go back and wait with peace of mind, Uncle Lu Shi will be fine." ”

Lu Ji had already calmed down, but he snorted coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away, leaving only one sentence: "If Hui Lin has something long and two short, the old man will definitely not let him go, and the big deal will be doomed!" ”
