Chapter 4: Steward Yang's Discovery
It was an ordinary winter night, but it became unquiet because of a sudden change.
After the turmoil, the General's Mansion returned to its usual calm with Shangguan Hong's departure. Under this calm, which is full of invisible undercurrents, the dark night has finally come to an end.
In Nianci Garden, Old Man Zhan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhan Li who had just fallen asleep, she had suffered a lot of fright just now, and Old Man Zhan comforted her for a while before letting her fall asleep. But even when she was asleep, she didn't sleep so peacefully, her hands and feet moved a few times from time to time, and her little face wrinkled from time to time, as if she was having a nightmare.
Old Man Zhan gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from Zhan Di's forehead, and his face showed a look of worry.
The door was slowly pushed open, Steward Yang walked in from the outside, he walked in front of Old Man Zhan and glanced at Zhan Li on the bed, and then said softly: "Master, I have arranged for that girl to live in the south wing." ”
The south wing is not very far from the place where everyone who is currently imprisoned in the General's Mansion lives.
"That's good." Old Man Zhan's gaze remained on Zhan Li's face and did not leave, and he responded very casually.
Steward Yang paid close attention to the movements around him, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he leaned down and whispered in Old Man Zhan's ear: "Master, the old slave feels that Mrs. Qiu's appearance is a little suspicious. ”
Old Man Zhan raised his eyes to look at Steward Yang, his eyebrows furrowed and expanded, and he asked calmly, "How can you see it?" ”
Steward Yang said in a voice so small that only the two of them could hear: "Just now in the hall, when Shangguan Hong asked all his subordinates to stand in front of him and show him a look, the old slave found that he had been looking at the place where you are, master. At first, the old slave thought that he suspected that there were other people mixed in with his subordinates, so he wanted to find clues from you, master. However, when she came to Miss Du later, the old slave found that Mrs. Qiu gestured to Shangguan Hong with her eyes, and then Shangguan Hong launched a difficult attack to prevent Miss Du from leaving. ”
Old Man Zhan pondered for a moment, did not take Steward Yang's words, and asked instead: "Old Yang, do you have to see what the purpose of the Third Prince is to besiege the General's Mansion?" ”
Steward Yang thought for a while and said, "The third prince is here, I'm afraid that I want to threaten the general with you." ”
"I think so." Old Man Zhan nodded, "The third prince is blatantly besieging the general's mansion, I am afraid that there has been a great change in the palace, and the third prince has seized power and controlled the situation in the capital." He wants to imprison us now, probably in exchange for the military power in Qi'er's hands, or threaten him to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Hearing what Old Man Zhan said, Steward Yang, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but show a sad face, and said: "The general has always put his family first, and it is even more important for you to be filial. No matter which idea the third prince plays, as long as you and the young lady are in hand, you are not afraid that the general will not give in. ”
Zhan Laozi sighed and said, "Now that there is a little Meng in it, I am afraid that the situation will be more complicated." If there is an inner ghost around us, the third prince must have known about the matter between Xiaomeng and His Royal Highness the Prince, so there is Shangguan Hong's embarrassment just now, and Xiaomeng is deliberately left. He trapped Xiaomeng in the General's Mansion, which should have other plans. ”
Steward Yang asked, "Master, what should we do now?" ”
Old Man Zhan glanced at Zhan Li, who was sleeping unsteadily on the bed, and said, "Hold your ground for the time being, wait and see what happens, and don't make any moves that make Shangguan Hong and the person who is watching us suspicious." By the way, Lao Yang, find a way to test her and determine if she really has a problem. ”
"The old slave understands." Steward Yang bent down and replied submissively.
Suddenly, Steward Yang straightened his waist and raised his voice and said, "Master, don't worry too much, your body is important!" You are still sick, so you should not worry too much about it, it will make your condition worse. ”
Steward Yang, who cooperated with Old Man Zhan, showed a listless and sad look in his words, and said, "How can I not be worried? My three sons are not with me, and I don't know what they are doing. ”
He gasped a few breathlessly, and then continued: "Old Yang, you said that my old bones are weak and sickly, if I can't hold on, what should I do if I can't wait for a few sons to come back and send me to the end?" ”
"Master Zhan doesn't need to worry too much." A female voice came in from outside the door and took over Old Man Zhan's words.
The door didn't close, and Adjo walked through the door unimpeded and walked straight into the inner room. She had a polite smile on her face, but said in a tone that was not at all polite: "As long as you stay here in peace, you will surely see your sons return safely." However, if you intend to do something restless, it is difficult to guarantee that the old man will be able to wait for the sons to come back and see you off. ”
Steward Yang said unhappily, "Miss Azhuo, what do you mean by this?" Curse my lord? ”
Old Man Zhan looked scared and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Old Yang, don't talk nonsense. ”
With that, he rubbed his hands uneasily, smiled reluctantly, turned around and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Azhuo's arrival?" ”
Ah Zhuo glanced at Old Man Zhan and Steward Yang, grinned, and said, "It's nothing special, I'm just here to see what you need." ”
"Miss Ah Zhuo has a heart. There's nothing you need for the time being, so let's bother the girl when you need it. Old Man Zhan finished his words in one breath, but he couldn't catch his breath and coughed suddenly.
Steward Yang hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back.
Ah Zhuo looked around the room, then looked at Old Man Zhan who was still coughing, and said, "Since this is the case, then I won't disturb Master Zhan anymore to rest." ”
After Ah Zhuo retreated, Old Man Zhan coughed for a while before gradually slowing down. He said weakly: "Old Yang, you should be tired after being busy in the middle of the night, you should go back and rest first." ”
Steward Yang said, "Master, you have a good rest, and the slave will retreat first." ”
While saying that he would let Steward Yang go back to rest, Old Man Zhan motioned for him to take his ear over, and whispered, "The sooner the temptation is done, the better." ”
"Yes, sir." After Steward Yang replied with the "stand down", he replied in the same low voice, and then turned around and walked out of the room.
Outside, Azhuo did not leave. Watching Steward Yang come out of the house, close the door, and leave Nianciyuan, she pricked up her ears and listened to the movements around her for a while, and felt that there was nothing suspicious, so she withdrew from Nianciyuan.
Inside the house, Old Man Zhan's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and after a long time, he loosened his brows, his loving gaze fell on Zhan Li's face, sighed lightly, and muttered to himself: "Old woman, no matter what decision I make, you will support me in the spirit of heaven, right?" ”

I wanted to work hard, and today I strive for more 3000+, but my body is not strong......
I caught a cold, and my nose kept flowing; After eating too much chicken and french fries, my stomach, which was already as fragile as a glass heart, protested; I already had stomach pain, but today I was afraid that I would not die fast enough, so I ran to eat the buffet, and my stomach hurt even more......
People who wipes their noses with a tissue while holding their stomachs that throb from time to time to change their code words can't afford to hurt it!
I can only squeeze out a little bit of content, so you will watch it on the spot.
Take medicine to sleep and go to ......
Asking for comfort, asking for comfort, all kinds of begging. Xiaobai waved a small handkerchief and ran away, don't miss me too much......
