Chapter 157 There will be no more companions
"However, this is an assassin who rushed into the Imperial Palace, and he has killed so many brothers!"
A young guard said with some indignation. The place where Xiao Mochen was placed under house arrest was the Jinluan Palace, which was a place where only emperors could live in the imperial legal system.
Therefore, the thief's collision with the Jinluan Palace is equivalent to colliding with the Imperial Palace, and should have been punished with death.
"Follow my orders!"
Xiao Mochen said coldly, then rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, and said, "Take him down, I'm going to rest." ”
"Yes!" The slightly older head of the guard walked up, pulled the young guard back, and then said to Xiao Mochen with a respectful face: "There is such an incident in the Jinluan Palace, please treat our sin!" ”
"No need." Xiao Mochen flicked his sleeves, turned around, and said with a somewhat mocking smile: "I am originally a person waiting for punishment, where can I have the strength to cure your crimes." ”
The head of the guard's face froze, and there was a touch of complexity in his gaze when he looked at Xiao Mochen, and he still said with some reluctance: "Then, from tonight, we will send five times more troops to protect your main mansion!" ”
"Nope." Xiao Mochen sat on the edge of his bed and said softly: "He is only one person, and he will have no more companions." ”
Murong Li is like his former self, and when he is alone, he has nothing.
The guards glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to disobey Xiao Mochen's intentions, so they had no choice but to pick up Murong Li on the ground and turn to leave.
After everyone left together and the sound of the door closing sounded again, Xiao Mochen slowly breathed a sigh of relief and fell on his back on the bed.
Fang Cai, when he confronted Murong Li, he really thought for a while that he should die here.
"Wan'er, sometimes I'm so conflicted, and I want you to be by my side so that I can feel at ease, and I'm glad that you're not by my side, so that you can survive."
After Xiao Mochen said such a sentence slowly, he finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
He was so tired that both mentally and physically desperately needed a good rest.
On a new day, Su Wan was asked by the emperor to travel with her entourage, and she still accompanied the master in the name of a maidservant.
This time, the team was led by the crown prince, assisted by the third prince, and Lin Chuyang followed at the end of the team to ensure the personal safety of several valuable people.
With the previous lesson, the prince has done his best this time, and has carefully considered all aspects to ensure that there will be no problems.
The crown prince seized the opportunity, and in the process of traveling, he always gathered around the old emperor, chattering and flattering remarks. If Xiao Mochen was present, he would definitely not have such an opportunity.
The old emperor had a straight face, he couldn't see his joy or anger, and he didn't show his liking or boredom with the deliberate approach to the prince.
Su Wan was bored, and fell behind the team as she walked, Lin Chuyang saw this and slowly moved next to her, and whispered: "Wan'er, thank you for what you did for Rushuang." ”
"What are you talking about, it's just a gesture." Su Wan said politely, and then sighed lightly: "That's all I can do, and the rest depends on the fate between the two of them." ”
"That's what I thought too." Lin Chuyang nodded approvingly, and said with some wistfulness: "Rushuang is a girl's family, and she hasn't left the cabinet yet, and the matter of taking care of a man in private can't be passed on. ”
"You're such a good brother, so used to your sister's temperament." Su Wan smiled and said sincerely.
After all, Lin Chuyang's ability to understand and support Lin Rushuang, a young girl's wishes, is also very valuable in this generation.
"That's not true, I've always had clear rewards and punishments for Rushuang, and I'm not blindly pampered." Lin Chuyang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said very seriously: "I just don't want her to be like me, she hasn't tried hard, and she has lost the qualification to express her heart." ”
As soon as the words landed, Su Wan and Lin Chuyang both looked a little cramped, and the atmosphere was a little awkward in an instant.
Su Wan lowered her head slightly, she knew that Lin Chuyang hadn't completely let go of her feelings for herself, but she couldn't bear to pick it off. The two brothers and sisters of the Lin family seem to be full of love, but unfortunately they seem to have paid the wrong object.
Seeing that Su Wan bowed his head and was silent, Lin Chuyang wanted to speak to reconcile the atmosphere, and instead said: "King Chen is in a worrying situation now, what are Wan'er's plans?" ”
Su Wan felt a little funny, this Lin Chuyang is really a simple straight man's thinking, knowing that the previous topic made people unable to continue, but instead said a problem that was even more unfaceable.
"I made an agreement with the master, if the real culprit cannot be arrested before the end of the private interview with Weifu, I will take the initiative to reconcile with the prince." Su Wan wasn't ready to hide it from Lin Chuyang, anyway, the interests were not related, so she said it bluntly.
"What?!"
Lin Chuyang was a little surprised, firstly, he didn't expect that the old emperor would throw such a thorny problem to a weak woman who was powerless, and secondly, he didn't expect that Su Wan would actually agree with his mouth and bear all these worries alone.
"Does King Chen know all this?" After being stunned, Lin Chuyang turned his head to look at Su Wan and asked.
Su Wan smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "If he knows, I'm afraid he will not obediently stay in the Jinluan Palace to recuperate, and it will be even more troublesome at that time, so I won't tell him." ”
Lin Chuyang's expression was complicated, seeing that Su Wan had thought about it so thoroughly, he didn't want to say anything more, just lowered his head slightly and sighed.
The old emperor who was walking in front happened to turn his head at this moment, and when he saw Su Wan and Lin Chuyang in the back who were so depressed, he let out a cold snort from his nose and asked teasingly, "What's wrong with my maidservant?" Didn't I send you this month's money? ”
Su Wan was full of cleverness, raised his head to look at the old emperor, and immediately said: "Of course not, it's just that it's rare for me to come out with the master, and when I see the suffering of the people, I can't help but feel sorry." ”
Lin Chuyang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Su Wan to think of this reason in an instant.
The old emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and said, "Come and help me, follow and serve!" ”
"Yes!" Su Wan raised a hypocritical smile, and hurriedly walked up and grabbed the old emperor's arm, in fact, he had scolded him ten thousand times in his heart.
The third prince was on the side, staring at all this with a gloomy gaze. He quickly figured something out of his mind, and turned his head to see the herald in plainclothes marching in this direction.
The eyes of the third prince lit up, and he hurriedly poked the prince and pointed out the direction where the herald came. The prince understood, stepped forward to invite the old emperor and said, "Master, it seems that the family has something important to tell. ”
It is a common rule to refer to the herald as a family member when traveling.
Su Wan was a little puzzled, logically speaking, if it wasn't an important matter, all the news should wait until the old emperor returned to the camp before making an announcement. It can be seen that this must be an event that should not be underestimated.
The herald jumped off the horse, came to the old emperor's side with a grim face, and said in a low voice: "Master, last night the Jinluan Palace was assassinated, and seven guards and one maid died. ”
As soon as he said that, the faces of several people nearby changed.
Su Wan asked nervously for the first time, "How is the prince?" Are there any injuries? ”
Hearing Su Wan's question, the prince also looked at the herald with great concern. He kept praying in his heart that Xiao Mochen must either die or be disabled, only in this way can he get rid of future troubles forever.
The herald shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the prince found out early, set up the mechanism, and arrested the prisoner, so he was not harmed." ”
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but there was an obvious look of disappointment on the prince's face. This obvious difference was keenly captured by Lin Chuyang on the side, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Have you found out who did it?"
The old emperor frowned and asked seriously. He knew very well that the targets of these assassin attacks seemed to be Xiao Mochen, and there must be something strange in them.
"It has been inquired that it is the orphan of the Murong clan in Luzhou, Murong Li." The herald kept his voice to a low and said softly.
"What!" The old emperor's eyes were full of shock, and his body couldn't help shaking, and he was hurriedly supported by the prince behind him.
"That family still has orphans...... the old emperor muttered to himself. Luzhou Murong Clan, these five words have always been a thorn in his heart, even if so much time has passed, once it is mentioned, it is still heart-wrenching and painful.
"Presumably, the previous assassination was also planned by him, since this is the case, King Chen's house arrest can be lifted!" Su Wan hurriedly said.
"Presumably?" Before Su Wan's words fell, the prince sneered, and only said: "Everything must be evidenced, but it is not something that can be explained." Even if Emperor Chen caught the assassin this time, it didn't mean that he was the murderer last time. ”
The prince's words not only deducted the loophole in Su Wan's words, but also directly pointed to the key point of the problem. Even Su Wan couldn't refute it at this time.
When the old emperor heard this, he also squinted slightly, and asked the herald, "Is there any evidence of the relationship between these two assassins?" ”
The herald immediately said, "Not yet." Murong Li was very stiff-mouthed and refused to say anything. ”
The old emperor's expression remained unchanged, as if everything was expected, and he only nodded, and then motioned for the herald to retreat.
"Since there is no evidence, there is no way to count." The old emperor looked at Su Wan, and finally showed a playful smile.
Seeing this, the prince was also happy in his heart. In just a few words, Xiao Mochen was beaten back to the prototype, if the assassin died suddenly......
Thinking of this, a faint cold light flashed under the prince's eyes.
Lin Chuyang was the only one who noticed this, but as an entourage guard, he naturally couldn't show his true emotions on his expression, so he could only subconsciously glance at Su Wan.
Su Wan had a bitter face, still angry at the old emperor's unreasonableness, but there was nothing he could do. What she wanted to do most at this moment was to return to Xiao Mochen's side immediately, so that he would not have any more problems.
In any case, the capture of the assassins of the Golden Luan Palace has finally solved a major problem. In the next interrogation work, Su Wan believed that Xiao Mochen could do a good job, and there would be good news.
Now Su Wan's first concern is Gu Zeyang's injury. Although she took care of his wounds, the level of medical care in ancient times is not the same as that in modern times.
Gu Zeyang's wound is most afraid of bacterial infection, if it is in modern disinfection facilities can ensure the cleanliness of the ward, but now can only rely on Lin Rushuang's careful care.
Back at the main house, Su Wan was bored, went to the pharmacy for a walk, and packed up the medical supplies and medicines in the team with the traveling doctor.
Smelling the familiar scent of Chinese herbs, Su Wan felt an indescribable sense of security enveloping her, and just as she closed her eyes and was about to relax her tired heart, she suddenly heard a familiar panicked voice.
"Doctor, is there any gauze? Gu Gongzi's wound bled a lot again, and I need Princess Chen's prescription. Lin Rushuang was so anxious that she was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and her slender bangs were clinging to her head, looking a little embarrassed.
"How can there be so much gauze? The young master of the Gu family is just a five-grade virtual official position, and the medicine he received according to his rank is already benevolent and righteous, and he still doesn't know how to take and ask for it, if something happens to a more noble adult, what if there is a shortage of medicines! ”
The imperial physician in charge narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to Lin Rushuang, who was dressed plainly. If he knew that the maidservant in front of him was actually the precious daughter of General Lin of the Imperial Capital, he would probably be so surprised that his eyes popped out.
Lin Rushuang, who has always been pampered, has suffered such grievances, and she was choked for a while, her eyes widened and she couldn't say anything to refute.
"Bold, I have painstakingly promoted you and given you this opportunity to accompany you, is it for you to abuse your power and bully the sick?" Su Wan really couldn't listen to it anymore, and frowned and stepped forward and said.
The steward physician was taken aback, looking at Su Wan's angry face, he knelt on the ground with weak legs for a while, kowtowed and begged for his life, and said: "Please spare the princess, you deserve death for your crime." ”
In fact, he couldn't figure it out in his heart, he was just playing prestige and taking the opportunity to teach the helpless and weak maid a lesson, but he didn't expect to offend the sensitive nerves of Princess Chen, who couldn't be provoked the most.
After all, this princess Chen is daunting in terms of both her medical skills and temperament.
Lin Rushuang was also surprised, and the tears on her face hadn't been wiped away, so she said, "Wan'er? Why are you here? ”
"Rushuang, don't be sad, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly, don't bother with this Laosh!" Su Wan flicked his long sleeves, walked out of the shadows, glanced coldly at the steward on the ground and said, "Don't you bring the best gauze herbs with me to Young Master Gu's room." ”
"Yes, yes." The steward nodded frantically like a chicken pecking rice, and got up from the ground to pick herbs. Hearing the two of them call each other, how can this steward doctor not know that this simple-looking maid is afraid of what kind of big man he is? It's a good thing to be able to leave quickly at this time.
"Wan'er, thank you so much, I'm really embarrassed to trouble you again......" Lin Rushuang was held by Su Wan's hand, and she was even more emotional, and said tremblingly.
