Just when the star fruit and the old bao were about to sharpen their knives against Zhilan, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the room, and the two looked at each other when they heard the sound. Just as their attention shifted, Zhilan quickly took the dagger on the table in her hand and covered it slightly with her sleeve.

"Mom, I'm a narcissus! Come out and take a look! For some reason, a group of officers and soldiers came outside, and they were searching the house at this moment! ”

Both of them were shocked, this plum fragrance was really a scourge, and they recruited officers and soldiers as soon as they appeared. Carambola immediately went to the window and looked downstairs, and found that the entire flower street was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

"Hurry! Open the secret passage! There's no way out there! Carambola hurriedly ordered the old bao.

The old bao hurried to the bed and lifted the blanket on the ground, revealing the blue brick floor. With a gentle push on the floor, a movable door slid open, revealing a Hessian tunnel. Seeing this, Zhilan couldn't help but gasp.

Lao Bao soon went down from the tunnel first, followed by star fruit. When he was about to go down, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to take Zhilan with him, and once the escape failed, he would still have a hostage to use.

Zhilan had quietly moved to the side of the bed while the two were only trying to escape, and when she saw the opportunity, she jumped out of bed and spread her legs and was about to run out of the door, but was grabbed by star fruit.

At this moment, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The person who came was Lin Mubai and a guard.

"Lan'er!" Lin Mubai saw that his daughter was inside, so he wanted to step forward and rescue her.

Star fruit reacted very quickly and hugged Zhilan in her arms, and pressed the dagger in her hand against her delicate little neck, and red blood immediately oozed out. "Don't come here! Or I'll cut off her neck! ”

Lin Mubai had no choice but to order everyone not to act rashly. Carambola slowly moved backwards with Zhilan in her arms, intending to escape from the tunnel.

How could Zhilan be obediently restrained? She quietly held the dagger in her sleeve tightly in her hand, the tip of the knife was backwards, gritted her teeth, and stabbed it hard with enough strength to feed.

"Ahh A scream almost deafened Zhilan's ears, and as soon as the star fruit trembled due to a chest injury, Zhilan fell to the ground.

Lin Mubai took the opportunity to step forward and capture the injured star fruit, and ordered his subordinates to tie up his five flowers, and ordered people to go down to the tunnel to continue the investigation.

Zhilan, who finally escaped, breathed a sigh of relief, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained. Lin Mubai picked up her daughter from the ground, gently stroked her injured little neck, looked at her unkempt hair and crumpled clothes, and was so distressed that she could barely speak. Zhilan looked at her father, who she hadn't seen for a few months, and the fright and grievances she had been suffering recently all came up at once, and she cried with a "wow". Lin Mubai hurriedly stroked his daughter's back and said, "It's okay...... It's all right......"

She hadn't cried so happily since she came into this world. Today, all emotions have found a breakthrough, like a river bursting its banks, and even the tears of the previous life have been used. may be because she was finally relieved, and Zhilan, who was soon tired of crying, fell asleep in her father's arms. Lin Mubai looked at her daughter's crying dirty little face, and the blood in her chest was churning, and her old hatred for the White Lotus Sect was added to the new hatred.

"My lord, we found this woman fleeing in the tunnels." The guards escorted the old bao out of the tunnel.

"Catch it all together and take care of it tightly! Send a few more men to see where the tunnel leads. ”

——————————————

Zhilan slept for a long time after being carried back from Yiqing Building, and did not wake up until evening. After coming to her senses, she began to think about her situation, how to justify herself.

"Sir, you're here." Outside the door, Shen'er was talking, pulling Zhilan back from her contemplation.

"Hmm." Lin Mubai was about to enter the door, when he suddenly turned around and said, "What you said to me today, don't mention it to anyone." Otherwise, the family law is waiting! ”

"The slave knows what is important. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation today, the slave would have rotted this matter in her stomach for the rest of her life. ”

"Well, it's my duty to serve your young lady well."

What's up? What words? Does Shen'er know something? Zhilan deeply regretted that she was not cautious enough at the moment, and she didn't know what tricks people could catch.

Lin Mubai walked into the room and saw that Zhilan had woken up, so he walked to the bed and sat down, and smiled softly at her: "Lan'er is awake?" ”

Zhilan hurriedly sat up from the quilt and said eagerly, "Sister Mei...... They killed Sister Mei...... Lan'er is so scared ......"

Lin Mubai hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Lan'er will be safe at home in the future." He has sent a few more guards to guard the Orchid Garden day and night, and at the same time has selected a few maidservants with martial arts for his daughter.

"Lan'er, Daddy asks you a few words, and you know that you can say anything. Don't be afraid, I've got you. Zhilan felt a sigh in her heart when she heard this, but she still nodded obediently.

"What were you doing in the princess's house a few nights ago?"

It turns out that Shen'er is talking about this! I must have been followed by accident. "Huh? The night a few days ago...... "Zhilan's brain was racing, I don't know if she was in a daze or something, and she couldn't come up with any reason for a while.

"Oh...... That day, Sister Mei said that there was avocado crisp for me to eat...... "No way, let's use the excuse again." "But she's so strange, she asked Lan'er to go by herself in the middle of the night, otherwise she won't be able to eat avocado crisp...... It's really delicious......" After speaking, he snorted his saliva and looked dreamy.

Hearing this strange words, Lin Mubai was confused by the second monk, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Why? "Why? You can ask Mei Xiang for yourself, unless you know how to summon spirits.

"Uh...... Did you see anything in the princess's room? ”

"No! Lan'er took the avocado crisp from Sister Mei and came back...... Hee-hee, hide in the quilt and eat it quietly. ”

Lin Mubai only felt that this matter was extremely strange, but can you expect to ask something from the mouth of a five-year-old baby? Although her daughter is very smart, everyone knows that it is limited to certain aspects of talent. It's better to wait for the star fruit to come to her senses and interrogate her properly.

After Lin Mubai left, Zhilan finally relaxed completely. Recalling this incident, she did not regret poisoning Mingyue, it was just an act of self-preservation. She was just annoyed that she was too careless, and she was discovered by Mei Xiang and Shen'er at the same time. Fortunately, Shen'er didn't see herself giving Mingyue an injection, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to explain her behavior. Regarding the fact that Shen'er secretly followed her, Zhilan was a little unhappy in her heart. Although she may just be worried about her own safety, Zhilan decided to distance herself from her.
