Chapter 173: One in a Million
Xu Yun instructed: "If I leave, the two of you must be smart, and don't be discovered."
Also, don't go out at will at this time, tomorrow the guests will come, and there may be a lot of them, and I will find a way to take you out. ”
Liu Ling snorted.
Hong Yi bowed: "Yes, eldest prince." ”
Hong Yi waited for Xu Yun to walk away and said, "Young lady, the eldest prince is really good to you. On weekdays, the slave always sees the indifferent and ruthless face of the eldest prince, and it is rare to see him speak so softly to anyone. This shows that the young lady's status in the heart of the eldest prince is definitely prominent. ”
Liu Ling glared at Hongyi's cherry mouth: "When did your girl's mouth become so eloquent?" Tweet a lot of nonsense, and you don't worry that the soldiers guarding not far away will hear it and dismantle you? ”
A reminder made Hong Yi's face pale with fright: "Less...... Young lady, where do we have to hide to be safe, or it is better to be in a latrine. ”
Hong Yi didn't wait for Liu Ling to speak, and was about to drill into the toilet.
"Come back!" Liu Ling grabbed Hongyi's arm, "Can you wait for me to finish speaking, now in the front hall, the housekeeper and the team leader are already among the subordinates, and they are almost identified, presumably we are safe now."
Let's wait here for a while, it won't be long before we can move around as we please. ”
"Oh!" Hong Yi's face was still nervous, and he didn't seem to believe Liu Ling's words.
……
The officials of the three divisions checked it for a day, but they did not find any clues, so they had to leave a part of the guards behind when they went home and continued to look after the scene.
In Tianfu, the people were busy, all preparing for tomorrow's funeral, and they never thought that a holy decree would come down, saying that the murderer who killed Tian Botai could not be found for a day, so they would not allow idle people to wantonly disturb the Tian family.
In other words, Tian Botai's funeral tomorrow will not be held as scheduled.
The children of the Tian family have a ambiguous attitude, whether they find the murderer or the funeral, it is for Tian Botai.
If you want to say that it is important, of course, it is the emperor's decree that attaches the most importance to it.
During the third watch, the entire Tianfu finally quieted down.
Spring was supposed to be cold and warm, but at this time, a strong wind suddenly blew, which made people feel extremely cold.
The moonlight in the sky was unusually white, and the whistling wind whistled one after another, as if someone was crying, and the white lanterns hanging all over the house swayed desperately with the wind.
The soldiers and guards standing on the verandah are like stationary wood carvings, not far from this and that, coupled with the dull eyes, it makes people feel frightened.
Xu Yun was holding a black cloak in his hand, this was Tian Xinyuan's eldest brother, and seeing that Xu Yun was wearing thin, he gave his cloak to Xu Yun.
And Xu Yun only had Liu Ling in his heart, and he was worried that Liu Ling's small body would not be able to withstand this sudden change and suffer the cold.
But there was no trace of this woman, her father Xu Ze originally wanted to take her out with her, but Liu Ling insisted on refusing, insisting that he wanted to be with Xu Yun, as an excuse, to continue to stay in Tianfu.
Xu Yun knew Liu Ling's careful thinking, in order to find out the mystery of the jade pendant and rescue her father Liu Xianfang from prison, she did not compromise her means, even if her own life was safe, she had to stay behind.
This stubborn woman, Xu Yun has no choice but to let her toss, fortunately he can take more care of Liu Ling in Tianfu.
Xu Yun was dressed in sackcloth and walked slowly on the verandah, looking left and right, her eyes open to the maximum limit, so that she had a greater chance of seeing Liu Ling.
He was worried that in the dead of night, Liu Ling and Hong would be scared away when they saw him like this.
Suddenly, Xu Yun remembered the scene of meeting Liu Ling in Mrs. Tian's east wing.
Why did Liu Ling go to see Mrs. Tian?
The cause of Tian Botai's death and the whereabouts of Yu Pei must be Liu Ling's greatest concern.
But Xu Yun and Liu Ling waited separately, and they stayed in the Xuan Courtyard of Tian Mansion all the time, and they never saw Liu Ling go to Mrs. Tian again, and it was even more impossible at this time.
Although Xu Yun had many impossible reasons to think that Liu Ling would not go to Xuanyuan, his two feet were raised uncontrollably and walked towards Xuanyuan.
Perhaps, maybe in a corner, Liu Ling led Hongyi to hide there, waiting for an opportunity to approach Mrs. Tian.
……
On a willow tree not far from Xuanyuan, Liu Ling grabbed the branch with one hand and watched everything in Xuanyuan intently.
Hong Yi held the thick tree trunk with both hands, and snuggled up to Liu Ling's side as much as possible, but he was still shivering from the cold: "Young lady, the slave maid doesn't understand, why do you have to stay in Tianfu, and you still have to be sneaky and hide in Tibet?" ”
As for why, of course Liu Ling can't tell the truth: "......"
As soon as Hong saw that Liu Ling didn't speak, she began her rambling words: "Could it be that the young lady is worried about what the eldest prince and the eldest lady Tian have?" They are already married, and it is inevitable that the two of them will be married to me.
Even if the young lady overturned all the vinegar jars, she would still feel unbearable. There is no way, if you are born as a woman, you have to bear the half-heartedness of men.
In fact, the eldest prince thinks about the young lady everywhere, and he is also a young lady in his eyes and heart, and he is already a good man in a million.
Compared with other families, how many concubines are not looking at their husbands with blank eyes, and they are very diligent in the main room, but they don't dare to have any complaints, and they swallow their anger, after all, their identity affects them.
The sorrow of the concubine can only be ...... by herself"
"Shhh——, someone is coming out." Liu Ling sighed lightly, interrupting Hong Yi's annoying words.
Liu Ling saw a dark shadow coming out of the Xuan courtyard, seemingly sneaky.
It's okay that Hongyi doesn't look at it, and his body is shaking even more.
Liu Ling beckoned Red to slide down from the tree and quietly followed behind the black shadow.
Hong Yi didn't want to follow, but he didn't want to stay here alone, so he had to shrink his body and take Liu Ling's hand to follow closely.
The dark shadow seems to be shrewd, bypassing all the guards and picking out the shadowy places.
After turning around, he went around to the courtyard not far from the front hall, but there was Tian Botai's special study.
There are not only books in it, but also all the documents of the military department.
The black shadow seemed to be familiar with the door, and was able to take out the key to open the courtyard door and go straight to the study.
The light in the study turned on instantly, and Liu Ling poked open the window paper with his fingers, but he didn't expect that the sneaky black shadow turned out to be Mrs. Tian.
Liu Ling was inexplicably surprised, Mrs. Tian was the old housemother of the entire Tian family, wandering around her yard, why was she so sneaky?
Could it be that she is here to find Yu Pei?
Thinking about it, it is really as Mrs. Tian said, the murderer has not taken the jade pendant yet!
However, Liu Ling was puzzled, since the murderer did not take the jade pendant, he would definitely not give up and would continue to stay near Tianfu.
But Mrs. Tian came over like this...... Although it can't be said to be blatant, for the murderer, it is to tell him that Yu Pei is somewhere in the study.
