Chapter 422: Behind the Scenes (1)
It happened so suddenly, and everyone needed time to take a break.
Meng Xilan sorted out her thoughts, and only then did she talk to her brothers about everything that had just happened.
"Dare to do it on the downtown street, and they are all from dead soldiers. This matter must have been carefully planned for a long time, and the mastermind behind this is either rich or expensive, and he will not be an ordinary person. Meng Xizhao pondered for a moment before saying: "This person has been planning for a long time, and this time he misses, he will definitely not give up." The minister is worried...... He'll be re-laid out again soon! ”
Meng Xiran frowned: "Eldest brother, what you said is extremely true. During this time, the emperor also asked the emperor to send more defenses in the palace to prevent those villains from taking advantage of them. ”
Zhou Youchen said in a deep voice: "I have dispatched five thousand elite soldiers in the western suburbs, and Ming'er will return to the palace early in the morning to guard. ”
Not only the Imperial Palace, but the entire capital has been put on alert. The whole city is under martial law, and the four major gates of the east, west, north and south are blocked on the whole line, and they are only allowed to enter the city, and they are not allowed to leave the city.
Meng Xi looked at her sister who was alone and pondered for a moment before she said, "Niangniang, at the time of the incident, did you notice anything abnormal? ”
He was not at the scene at the time of the accident, and he couldn't guess a lot of details.
Meng Xilan rubbed her temples with a little headache: "Everything happened too fast at that time. Hongu only remembers that there are a lot of people on the street...... The more they gathered, the more they flocked. ”
As soon as she said this, Meng Xizhao had an idea in her heart.
If it's really ordinary people, just look at the excitement. But if they weren't the people, they just blended in with the crowd.
These common people have the habits of ordinary people, and they have doors, households, and fame. After a thorough investigation, there are always some clues that can be sifted out.
Meng Xilan saw that her brother took the initiative to share her worries, and said gratefully: "Today, it is this palace that has affected Brother Yun and Brother Rong. This stabbing matter, the palace will personally send someone to investigate thoroughly. Brother, don't worry about it, it's good to spend more time with the children. ”
Meng Xizhao shook his head and said, "Niangniang, the children have their own insiders to take care of. The minister still has to do his part for the emperor and the mother. ”
It's about his sister, it's about the prince, it's about the court and the Meng family, he can't ignore it.
Meng Xiran also had the same attitude.
"The Meng family has been blessed by the emperor for many years, and at this time, it is natural to contribute to the emperor."
Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this, her smile was a little weak.
In the evening, Meng Xilan only felt that her body was sore and soft, and she couldn't use any strength.
frightened, went back to the palace to interrogate, almost all of them were busy without stopping, until it was dark, the night was quiet, and her heart slowly calmed down.
Brother Yun and Brother Rong have been invited back to the Meng Mansion.
Before leaving, Qiao Huiyun touched her tears and told her: "Niangniang must be careful in everything, this palace may not be peaceful." ”
Meng Xilan couldn't stand her in her heart, and only said to her: "Imperial Doctor Jiao will go to the house on time to consult." With him, Brother Yun and Brother Rong'er's bodies will definitely be fine. ”
It's the only thing she can do right now for her children.
Zhou Youchen left the ministers behind, and saw that the palace gate was about to be locked, so he ordered them to go out.
The emperor has not said a word about the assassination so far, and they can only guess in private.
Meng Xilan was worried about immortality in her heart, and helped Zhulu all the way over.
Zhulu wanted to let her sit in a sedan chair, but Meng Xilan shook her head.
She was very tired, but she didn't want to be confined in the sedan chair and carriage.
Zhulu knew that her master was in a panic, so she walked with her, followed by a long line of palace people and guards.
On the long road, lanterns are hung on both sides, and the light is bright.
Meng Xilan walked on the road and suddenly remembered the past.
Back then, the teenage Zhou Youchen could easily avoid the eyes of the guards and wander around the palace at night.
She followed him, wearing a long cloak.
Walking all the way, no one really found out.
Zhu Lu saw that Niangniang's eyebrows were slightly frowning and walking slowly, and she was very distressed: "Niangniang, why don't we rest for a while." ”
Move a chair and add a brazier, so that the master can rest his feet.
Meng Xilan shook her head: "Zhulu, this palace is not tired." ”
After being silent for a while, he asked again: "Jade's funeral, you take care of it yourself, don't lose her." ”
Zhu Lu nodded: "Don't worry, the slave knows it." ”
Meng Xilan sighed lightly: "It's so fast, Jade has been with me for so many years." ”
Zhulu nodded: "Back then, when Jade first came, it wasn't a worry-free one. In the past few years, she has only been close to her master's heart. ”
Meng Xilan smiled slightly when she heard this: "People's hearts are made of flesh, and after a long time, there will always be feelings." ”
"Mother, don't talk about these sadness. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for you......" Zhulu caressed the back of her hand and comforted her.
Meng Xilan nodded.
Emerald won't die in vain, she remembered in her heart.
…
After drinking the decoction, Changsheng slept deeply.
Worry-free has been guarding him, never leaving an inch, for fear that he will wake up and not see himself.
Guarding and guarding, she herself fell asleep.
Meng Xilan slowly came to the inner hall, and saw Wuwu sitting on the edge of the bed, with one hand on the side of the bed, sleeping on the pillow, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
She knew the kid was going to be here.
From childhood to adulthood, as long as Changsheng is sick, she will accompany him.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the County Lord is asleep."
Meng Xilan stopped the palace maid who passed by, and said softly, "Let her fall asleep." ”
Today, Changsheng was frightened, and with her, Changsheng was at ease.
Meng Xilan walked lightly to the side of the bed and looked at Changsheng.
His hands were wrapped in a medicinal cloth, and he was slightly bleeding, which made people feel distressed to watch.
Zhulu saw that the prince was injured, and she was also very distressed.
"If there is something to do in immortality, I will live in vain." After being silent for a while, Meng Xilan said softly.
As a human being in two lives, what she cares about most is immortality.
Zhu Lu's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she nodded: "The prince is fine, Niangniang should also relax." ”
Meng Xilan shook her head, took Zhu Lu's hand again, and went to the outer hall.
"How's going on over there?"
Zhulu looked at the sky outside and said, "I guess I asked something." ”
"You go check it out. If there's any news, let him come back to me. ”
"Yes......" Zhu Lu replied and retreated.
Worry-free guards immortality in the inner hall, and Meng Xilan guards immortality in the outer hall.
Xiao Chunzi brought the tea and said softly: "Niangniang quench your thirst." ”
Meng Xilan took a sip of tea, and when she saw that the tea was sweet, she couldn't help frowning: "This is?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, this is the water boiled with brown sugar longan. Master Jiao commanded. ”
Right now, at this time, the only person who can think of her to take a sip of sweetness is Jiao Changqing.
Suddenly, Zhulu came slowly with high benefits.
Gao Fu's appearance was a little different from that of the day, the clothes on his body were wrinkled, his hair was a little scattered, and his hands, although they were washed, still had a faint smell of blood.
Meng Xilan has always been sensitive to the smell of blood.
"Did you do it?" Meng Xilan asked with a slight frown.
Gao Fuli knelt down on his knees and said: "Back to Niangniang, that guy is a hard bone, and the slave had to use some tricks." ”
Meng Xilan didn't ask him what method he used, but said, "What did you ask?" ”
Gao Fuli nodded: "Hui Niangniang, these people are all outsiders, and they are everywhere in the world." Moreover, they are all practitioners, looking for work everywhere to eat. The slave has tried this one, and he used to be a dart master of the dart game, but unfortunately he was kicked out because his hands and feet were not clean. He had children and daughters in his family, so he was not allowed to come out to find work. About a year ago, he was chosen by the Ligong Trade. His master, a man named "Second Master Sun", said that he had fallen in love with him, and then summoned him. Those who assassinated the mother and the prince with him, they did not know. just signed a life and death contract with that second master Sun! ”
"Two hundred taels of life money! That Second Master Sun bought their lives. ”
Meng Xilan didn't expect that there was a long story behind it.
She frowned slightly, only feeling that something was wrong: "Those people came desperately to kill this palace, this is not just as simple as relying on silver!" Two hundred taels, even two thousand taels can't buy a person's loyalty! ”
They are bent on death, and this is the greatest loyalty.
"The mother is wise. That Second Master Sun not only gave them money for selling their lives, but also kidnapped their family members. If they don't die, his family will die. ”
That's how it is...... No wonder they are bent on death, and they are not even afraid of death. What a ruthless trick, he actually used his family as a threat.
"Okay, you've heard all these things asked, and after you leave the palace, check them carefully in the palace. Which second master Sun is the descendant of whose family? ”
Meng Xilan's heart sank slightly.
So many big rounds? They started preparing for it a year ago.
Whose idea was this? The mind is hidden so deeply.
Gao Fuli didn't dare to delay his efforts, the palace gate had already been locked, and he had to rush out of the palace in a hurry to continue looking for clues.
Zhulu sent him out, and when he arrived at the palace gate, she asked, "Xiao Lizi, is that person still alive?" ”
Gao Fuli knew who she was asking, and nodded: "It's still alive." ”
To live is to live, but not for long.
Zhu Lu groaned slightly when she heard this, and said, "He is bent on death, and you can still ask for something." ”
Gao Fuli turned his head to look at her: "I am this kind of person, my mother needs me, and because I have such ability." Zhulu, you just ask more, I don't want to say more. ”
He knew what had just happened, and it was all cruel things that he couldn't hear or see.
Zhu Lu lowered her head when she heard this: "I shouldn't be too talkative." Be careful on your way back, and ......"
Speaking of which, she was still a little worried about him.
"You have to be careful and safe yourself." As she spoke, she took out her handkerchief and handed it to him: "The blood on your hands is too heavy, you carry this." ”
A woman's handkerchief will not be given indiscriminately, and giving it to him is a little bit of her heart.
Gao Fuli was slightly stunned, and hesitated to take it: "You really give it to me?" ”
"Yes." Zhulu nodded heavily.
Gao Fuli's hand tightened, grabbed the handkerchief and said, "I'm all going to die, why do you bother?" ”
Zhulu looked at him: "Between us, we have already agreed." You won't die, as long as you do a good job for your mother and find out this person, your good days will not come to an end. ”
