Chapter 200: The Assassination of the Prince

Seeing her look apprehensive, Chen Hui lightly poured a cup of tea for her and quietly went out.

Xu Sanchun came back this time and didn't mention anything about the young master of the Hua family, so she knew that something must have happened. However, the best way is not to ask, leaving Xu Sanchun his own space.

The candle flame burned silently, occasionally crackling and bursting with a spark.

Xu Sanchun's thoughts flowed with the candlelight, flowing to the good old days.

From the first time I met him outside the Baojia Mansion, I formed a wonderful fate. The second time, he saved himself, and the third time, he was saved again.

She can't forget the warmth of sleeping peacefully in his arms, the beauty of the night on the Lanjie Mountain, and the beauty of watching the sunrise together. And that river view, that begonia tree.

Even if he knew that he was scared, he would catch her and fly up the treetops, but now he thought about it, it was full of sweetness.

Xu Sanchun's fingers touched his lips, such a soft, confused, intoxicating kiss, and his restraint.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

The tea had long since cooled, and the candle flame had been replaced by the morning light shining in through the window.

Xu Sanchun only felt that his face was cold, but where it touched his hands, it was full of tears.

She wiped away her tears, washed her face with cold water, and came back to her senses. She didn't sleep all night, she only felt a dull pain in her temples, and when she looked in the mirror, she found that her eyes were so blue and black.

Xu Sanchun smiled bitterly, this is really a year old.

Actually, staying up all night is really nothing, and in the end it's still too sad.

She caressed her heart and let out a long sigh. That demon, when will she be spared?

Pushing open the door, I heard a voice coming from the kitchen. Chen Hui had already gotten up and was cooking breakfast.

The breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year was very richly prepared. There are spring rolls, preserved pork tongue, pre-marinated cucumbers, steamed pork belly, and glutinous millet porridge.

The three of them ate together, and Xu Sanchun said: "Let's paste all the Spring Festival couplets." "Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the time to "always replace the new peach with the old charm".

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, they have already moved twice.

Chen Hui took the Spring Festival couplets he bought and painted them, and the three of them pasted them together, took the firecrackers and came out and were about to put them, when they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves sweeping like thunder, breaking the joy of the New Year.

What's going on? The three of them looked at each other.

The first to wake up was the dumb girl. She grabbed Xu Sanchun's arm and pulled her back to the door. Seeing this, Chen Hui also came in, and the dumb lady closed the door with her backhand and put on the deadbolt.

"What's wrong?" Xu Sanchun looked surprised.

She could feel that the dumb girl's hands were trembling, and her face was even whiter.

What was it that could make her so afraid?

The mute girl made a boo gesture and pressed her ear to the door, listening to the movement outside.

The sound of the horse's hooves turned a corner at the corner of the street, and went straight to the county office. The dumb lady breathed a sigh of relief, and found that she was sweating like pulp, almost collapsed, and fell softly against the door.

This scene reminded her of that night many years ago, the days of fear and displacement.

Xu Sanchun and Chen Hui hurriedly helped her up. When she arrived at the house, Xu Sanchun waited for her to drink a cup of warm tea, and the dumb lady was relieved.

"Dumb girl, what's wrong with you?" Xu Sanchun looked at her worriedly.

The dumb lady waved her hand, signaling that she was fine, and gestured: "You don't want to go out again these days, let Chen Hui do something." ”

In her heart, there has always been a secret hidden deep down.

And this secret is the secret that can make her lose Xu Sanchun. She couldn't afford the consequences, and it would make her ashamed of her master's trust.

Xu Sanchun went from a baby croaking to the ground, to hiding in her arms, and finally found a place to stay, which could make her grow to an age like a flower.

Looking at her face, Xu Sanchun hurriedly responded.

She is not an active person, and she can have a period of rest, so she wants to accompany the dumb girl.

"Chen Hui, go out and inquire, what's going on outside?" Xu Sanchun turned around and ordered, and the dumb lady also nodded.

didn't let them wait, Chen Hui turned around, looked nervous, and said, "The prince has been assassinated!" ”

"The Prince?"

There is no doubt that Tan'an County belonged to the Great Shang Dynasty. But for ordinary people, what emperor and crown prince are too far away from them, so Xu Sanchun doesn't understand, why is Chen Hui so nervous?

Chen Hui nodded and said, "An order from Fucheng to search for the murderer in the whole county." ”

Xu Sanchun felt even more strange, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in Tan'an County?" ”

"No, I heard it was in Yanglu County."

Yanglu County and Wu'an County are separated by two counties. Wu'an County was located in the southern part of the entire Great Shang Dynasty, while Yanglu County was in the middle.

"It's so far away, how can you come to Tan'an County to search for the murderer." Xu Sanchun felt that this was very strange.

"The notice posted by the county government is a nationwide search."

The dumb lady didn't speak for a long time, and only after a while did she gesture solemnly: "Today's saint, it's not strange to do anything. "The dumb lady knows the cruel methods of Emperor Songlie.

The crown prince is not only the heir to the throne of Emperor Songlie.

But the dumb lady couldn't understand, how could the prince be assassinated suddenly? It was just too sudden.

Or, how could Emperor Songlie let him be assassinated?

Thinking of this, she hugged Xu Sanchun and gestured solemnly, "You must promise me, and you must be careful next." ”

Xu Sanchun was frightened by her expression, "Dumb girl, what's wrong?" ”

The dumb lady looked at her and sighed deeply, what did she say? Where to start? That secret, she really would rather die than let Xu Sanchun know.

If the day comes when she must be known, her background will not be hidden.

As soon as she thought of this terrible consequence, the dumb lady felt a chill in her heart. Now that the prince is gone, Xu Sanchun is particularly dangerous.

It's a good New Year, because of this bad news, the entire Tan'an County is restless.

All the red things, whether it is lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, New Year paintings, etc., or brightly colored clothes, have all been removed, and the whole city has been replaced by the prince Dai Xiao.

All of Xiu Mu's fast arresters were recalled, and they went door-to-door to check whether there were any suspicious people.

Not only Tan'an County, but also the entire Dongwu Prefecture, even Wu'an County, and even the entire Great Shang Dynasty have fallen into this turmoil.

The Dragonscale Army set out from Beijing and carefully searched every suspicious place. The moon guards were all dispatched, and Yanglu County was almost turned upside down.

Originally, it was a stable and wealthy businessman, but because of this incident, the people fell into dire straits.
