Chapter Seventy-Seven: Doubts

Shangguan Li rolled over and sat up.

She has to get out as soon as possible, no matter how many words she has to refute Zhang Yuanniang's slander later, if she is caught on the spot, there will be nothing to play.

Before she arrived, she noticed that there were many guards around the choreroom.

The sound of these people's breathing sounded to Shangguan Li like thunder in the quiet night.

I want to use these people to stop her in the next life.

Thinking about it, Shangguan Li quietly flipped through the tiles that had been loosened beforehand, and twisted out of the gap like a snake.

The moment she went out, she didn't show her head, but leaned down even more and crawled out silently.

Under the moonlight, just five steps in front of Shangguan Li, there was a guard who was concentrating.

Shangguan Li covered his mouth and nose and took out a bottle with a slender mouth.

A wisp of smoke drifted down the wind towards the guard.

In a moment, the guard's head fell down.

Open this gap, and the remaining defense is nothing to Shangguan Li.

After a few flickering and moving in the shadows, when he stopped again, there was no breath of others around him.

She didn't stop long, and hurried to the reed courtyard.

Zhang Yuanniang should be on guard against her escape, maybe the person who went to Luyuan to find her was already on the way.

She had to get back before then.

Fortunately, although she herself has never been to Luyuan, the original body's memory of this aspect is quite clear, so she is not jerky when she walks.

The reason why the Ashiin Courtyard is this name is because there is a small reed swing in front of the courtyard, and every spring and summer, cotton-like tidbits float up, which is very beautiful.

It's just that it's early winter, and the reeds in front of the door exude a faint smell of corruption.

Shangguan Li stepped into the courtyard, followed the route in his memory, and walked into the door.

After lighting the candles and oil lamps, Shangguan Li's eyes widened slightly.

The layout is exactly as you remember.

Even the wooden chair in the corner, which was missing a hole, remained intact.

For a moment, Shangguan Li almost thought that as soon as she turned around, she could see Qi Yi walking in with a smile holding the white cat she liked.

Shangguan Li stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table, and it was spotless.

It's not like a makeshift cleaning can do it.

And even if the dust can be swept away, those tables and chairs are still the same after so many years.

It is impossible to do this without careful care.

There are only two people in the great prime minister's mansion who can do this kind of thing.

One Zhang Yuanniang, one Shangguan Xun.

Of course Zhang Yuanniang can't do it, if it were her, I'm afraid that she would like to burn the reed courtyard clean with a fire, how could she still save it so dedicatedly.

Then it can only be Shangguan Xun.

But why?

Shangguan Li suddenly felt a little ridiculous from the depths of his heart.

Could it be that Shangguan Xun has always aligned his mind and never forgotten?

Shangguan Li was thundered by this thought, and she was surprised that at this moment, there were already footsteps in the courtyard.

"Is Miss Three here?"

It is estimated that he saw the light inside, so the person who came still asked politely first.

It came pretty quickly.

Shangguan Li temporarily put away the shock in his heart, got up and opened the door.

The battle outside the door was quite large, with seven or eight guards all the way, holding torches in their hands, and the bright light of the fire was reflected on Shangguan Li's face.

She thought that these people were not looking for someone, but wanted to directly arrest her and soak her in the pig cage.

"What's the matter?"

Shangguan Li's expression was very flat.

The guard at the head probably didn't expect her to be really in the house, so he was stunned for a moment before he said.

"Something happened in the miscellaneous room, Madame asked the third lady to go to Mingtang."

Mingtang?

If I'm not mistaken, the guests over there haven't finished yet.

No matter how many are left, as long as the charge of slander is confirmed in front of outsiders.

It is estimated that from now on in this capital, Shangguan Li will never be able to raise his head again.

But she didn't have a flustered look on her face, just nodded and said lightly.

"Let's go."

She was so good at talking, which suddenly made these seven or eight big men feel as if they were useless.

Shangguan Li took a few steps and turned around and asked.

"What are you doing in a daze, you want to guard this reed courtyard for me?"

Only then did the guards react and hurriedly followed.

When Shangguan Li arrived in the Ming Hall, the atmosphere of the feast during the day had almost dispersed, and there were still a few maids cleaning the yard.

Mingtang is a place where the Prime Minister's Mansion meets guests to discuss important matters, and it is generally not easy to open to people in the Mansion.

But when Shangguan Li entered, he found that there were really a lot of people inside.

In addition to the five or six guests who have not left yet, there are also Zhang Yuanniang and Shangguan Yue.

The most conspicuous of the guests is Zhong Yu, the prince of Nanhuai who is about to reach the sky, and all his interest in life seems to be to join in the fun.

A dignified son has to be involved in other people's family affairs.

As for the rest of the guests, they were all embarrassed and eager to leave immediately.

At that time, they were discussing with the prime minister the script of tomorrow morning's court, and this lady suddenly ran out and said that something big had happened.

Before they could leave, they escorted in a man wrapped in a rag.

Seeing that the prime minister's face was getting darker and heavier, they didn't leave, nor did they stay, and they were in a dilemma until now.

When Shangguan Li entered, everyone's eyes fell on her.

She didn't realize it, and swept around as if no one was around.

Shangguan Xun, who was sitting on the high head, painted the moon on his forehead, and he could go directly to cos Bao Qingtian.

At his feet, lying on his stomach was Zhang Lei, who was tied up with five flowers.

His body was wet, and he should have been doused with a large basin of cold water.

The cold wind poured in through the open door of the Ming Hall, and he shivered, but he didn't say a word.

"Yo, what kind of battle is this? Is there an add-on banquet? ”

Shangguan Li's tone was very out of tune.

When Zhang Lei heard her voice, he shook at first, but he didn't turn to look at her.

Zhang Yuanniang spoke.

"Li'er, I just called you here to confirm something, don't be nervous."

"Does my aunt look nervous about me?"

Shangguan Li laughed, and then remembered to ask Shangguan Xun for a salute.

"Hello father."

Shangguan Xun was so angry that his lips were trembling, and he looked like he wanted to come up and slap her to death.

"It's best if Li'er isn't nervous, the guards are on patrol today, and when they pass by the miscellaneous room, they hear some unbearable sounds. When he went in, he saw the madman lying there sleeping, unclothed. ”

"Oh."

Shangguan Li found a place to sit down and nodded as if listening to a story.

"And then?"

Zhang Yuanniang choked for a moment, she didn't expect Shangguan Li to be so calm.

After a pause, she said.

"It's nothing, it's just that what appears on this person seems to have something to do with you."
