Lu Man didn't expect it to be related to Concubine Zhao. Thinking of Jiang Zhanwei, who hadn't been home for more than a month, I didn't know if he had anything to do with these things, so my heart became unsteady.

After dinner, Lu Man was about to go to Heweitang to inquire about the situation, and Fang Da, the guard manager of Donghui Courtyard, came to see Lu Man, saying that he had received a secret order from the third master, and there was an abnormal movement in the capital, so for the sake of safety, let the masters of Donghui Courtyard go to live in the mansion.

When Lu Man heard this, he hurriedly asked people to pack up their things and take the children and Erdou and Ergou to Heming Hall together. Erdou heard that there might be a bustle to see, so he had already jumped on the roof and resolutely refused to go with them.

He Cheng lived alone in Yuqing Courtyard, and Lu Man was not at ease, so he asked him to go to Jiang Zhanyu's courtyard to rest temporarily.

He Cheng said, "Where can I sleep in this situation, I will arrange Yuqing Courtyard, and I will work with Master Jiang and them to see what I can help." ”

The maid who serves the master closely, and the mother-in-law goes with the master. The mother-in-law and the little girl on duty at night can't go out of the gate of Donghui Courtyard, so Mama Xia told the housekeeper of the eldest princess's mansion to arrange to live in the mansion.

As soon as the group walked out of the east gate, a grandmother from Heming Hall came and said that the eldest princess invited them over.

In the Heming Hall, the women and children were sent away after eating, except for Jiang Houye, the second master, the third master, Jiang Zhankun, Jiang Zhanyu and several adult men were there, and everyone's faces were very grim, especially the eldest princess.

The eldest princess beckoned Lu Man to her side and said, "I also received a secret letter from Zhan Wei. There should be something big going on in the court, and that person can't wait...... Donghuiyuan and Yuqingyuan are remote and on the outermost edge of the house, which is not safe. A few of you will rest in the Xiangmu Courtyard, and Lord He and Zhankun will look at some of the guards......"

This happened suddenly, and Marquis Jiang didn't come out of the palace, and there was no news from him. When everyone was suspicious, they received Jiang Zhanwei's letter. didn't say much, just said that there might be an abnormality in the capital, so let the house do a good job of security protection.

Just now, the eldest princess sent someone to the Pingguo Mansion next door to see if she could inquire about any news. It didn't take much effort, the people who went came back to report, Liu Guogong didn't go home, and Mrs. Liu didn't know what was wrong, and she was in a hurry at home.

When the eldest princess heard this, she asked the men to check the guards in the house, and there could be no loopholes. also let the women and children stay in the house honestly, not allowed to go out, let alone run around. Tonight, the second master, the third master, Jiang Zhankun, and He Cheng couldn't rest. Jiang Zhanyu is not in good health, except for him.

When he arrived, he still didn't wait for Marquis Jiang to go home, but he heard that the capital was already under martial law.

Lu Man placed the children and went to the eldest princess again. The eldest princess had already lay down, and because she was worried about the emperor, the prince, and Jiang Houye and Jiang Zhanwei, she couldn't sleep, shouting that she was uncomfortable in her heart, and her face was not good-looking.

Lu Man asked someone to cook her a bowl of soothing soup and massaged her head. Comforted softly, "Grandmother, don't worry, the third master hasn't come back for so many days, maybe it was arranged by the emperor and the crown prince, they have already prepared, and nothing will ......happen."

The old lady closed her eyes and said, "Well, I hope so." This time, the palace didn't even hear the slightest rumor. After a few breaths, he added, "Good boy, if Hongu dies suddenly, you must take care of your grandfather." I also persuade Zhanwei to be sincere, unite as one, and everyone's road will be better......"

The old lady's thoughts made Lu Man helpless. Jiang Houye, not only the hereditary Wei Changhou, but also a cabinet bachelor from the second rank, is not a little higher than Jiang Zhan's only third-rank military attache Jia Yong Weibo. Even the third master, who was appointed as the servant of Sanpin Taifu Siqing, had much more say in the court than Jiang Zhanwei. And the old lady just thinks that Jiang Zhanwei has the most energy, and she is afraid that he will only care about the small family and ignore everyone.

Lu Man said, "Look at what your grandmother said, your life is long, where is it so easy to die." The third master is most afraid of you, you point to the east, he doesn't dare to fight the west. You live well, take care of him, and your granddaughter-in-law will help you watch it. As for the grandfather, no matter when, the granddaughter-in-law will take good care of him. ”

The eldest princess smiled bitterly, "This palace also wants to live, isn't it just that I'm afraid of dying suddenly." I'm afraid that something won't stand it......"

After more than half an hour, the eldest princess finally slept peacefully, Lu Man got up and asked Mama Qian a few words before leaving the house.

Outside, the sky was full of stars, and it was very quiet.

I don't know what kind of scene it is outside the palace and inside the palace. Thinking of Jiang Zhanwei, Lu Man's eyes became moist again, and he didn't know what he was going through at this moment......

The night breeze in early autumn was already very cold, Lu Man shivered, raised his feet and walked forward.

Walk through the side building and come to Xiangmuyuan. Suddenly, she saw the sky in the distance glow red, as if something was on fire. Lu Man was so frightened that he covered his mouth with his hand and hurriedly went to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Running to the weeping flower gate with her, there are also a few maidens. Afraid of affecting the rest of the eldest princess and the old concubine, although these people were terribly scared, and the younger ones cried, they didn't dare to make a sound.

The weeping flower door had been locked, and Mama Wang, the steward of Heming Hall, was also standing here looking at the sky in the south.

Mama Wang said, "The third grandmother should go back and rest, the third master and Yin Weiyu (the captain of the guard of the eldest princess's mansion) said that everything in the mansion is safe, and there are many guards outside the Heming Hall, so it will be fine." He frowned again and said to the subordinates, "What should you do, what should you do, if you startle the eldest princess and the master, you will be guilty." ”

Lu Man sighed deeply, praying in his heart that Jiang Zhanwei was okay and the crown prince was fine. Only if they are fine, they and the people in this house will be fine.

She reflexively returned to Xiangmu Courtyard, and heard Jiang Jiu's suppressed sobs from the west wing, as well as Jiang Zhankui's whispered comfort.

Lu Man hurriedly entered the West Chamber, Jiang Jiu came up and hugged Lu Man, crying, "It's said that something big happened outside, what about my brother?" Will he be okay? ”

Jiang Jiu lived in the north room of the West Chamber, and they all went to bed, but they heard the whispers of their subordinates. She didn't have the heart to sleep, she wanted to go out to find Lu Man, but she was told that she couldn't go out at will, and when she saw the sky red at the door, she cried worriedly.

Jiang Zhankui, who lived in the East Chamber, heard it and hurried over to comfort her. said that he was here to persuade his sister, Jiang Zhankui's eyes were also red, and he was also worried.

Lu Man helped Jiang Jiu wipe his tears and said firmly, "Your brother will be fine." How powerful he is, Tartar is so fierce, he hasn't been defeated by your brother. Well, go back to bed, maybe tomorrow when you wake up, there will be news of your brother. ”

She persuaded her for a while before persuading Xiao Nizi to go back to sleep. said to Jiang Zhankui again, "You are a little man, you don't need to be coaxed by your sister-in-law, right?" ”
