Zhong Li looked at them quietly for a while, smiled faintly and continued to walk towards the backyard. Zhong Qinghe and Lin Yue saw that she didn't speak, so they breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace to follow.

Nie Duo, who was guarding the courtyard, saw Zhong Li, who was dressed in plain clothes, walk in, and immediately greeted him, "Why did Miss Yan come over? ”

"It's okay, Gu Pozi's death is inseparable from me after all, all come here to take a look, you have worked hard in the past few hours, stay in various places in the mansion respectively, and when the general returns to the mansion, this matter will be clear. Zhong Li waved his hand lightly, signaling that the people who came did not need to salute, "There have been accidents in the mansion one after another, and it is true that you should be careful and beware, but you can't prevent their vicious methods from being so strict." There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

Nie Duo has followed his brother Nie Geng in the Zhong Mansion since he was a child, although he is only a deputy head of the guard, but he has already seen the situation in this mansion, the immortal Mrs. Feng is gentle and generous, the son is free and wise, and the young lady is modest and smart. Mrs. Kefeng suddenly died of a serious illness, and the son of Yan also sent Yunlu out of the house, how Miss Yan has come over these years, they all know it, and now that the general has returned, Miss Yan can be regarded as having survived, but one after another accidents have happened to her, and they are rushing back to her. It's unsettling to hear her say that now.

"Miss Chang means that if we take too close precautions, those who hide in the shadows will no longer show their feet. Nie Duo asked tentatively.

Zhong Li didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and acquiesced to his statement, "By the way, the Fuyuan will be here in a moment." Tell the guards to disperse, leaving two at the gate and four outside the house, so that the others are hidden, so as not to scare them into making trouble again for a while. The tone was unusually calm, but the last sentence was deliberately accentuated.

Nie Duo heard Zhong Li's last words as if he was instructed, but there was a deep meaning between the words, I saw him smile slightly, bow his hand and say respectfully, "Yes, Miss Chang, don't worry, Nie Duo will do it." With that, he retreated.

Zhong Li stopped outside the room, looked around, gently pushed the door open, and was about to step in, when the sound of Lin's spikes came from behind him.

"Didn't Miss Yan tell you to guard it well?, how can you deal with these few people, if something happens again?" Lin Yue asked arrogantly, to hide his previous panic.

Zhong Qinghe also echoed on the side, approached Zhong Li by the way, and pretended to hold her hand affectionately, "Sister, the guards must be punished for being so lazy, and they actually ...... if something happened in the house" She choked up as she spoke, raising her hand to wipe the tears on her cheeks, like a frightened fawn, "Sister, they are so snub to your orders." ”

Zhong Li brushed away Zhong Qinghe's hand without a trace, turned around and stood in front of the door, looked at Zhong Qinghe who was pretentious, and turned to look at Lin Yue, who was still jumping over there, and said coldly, "When is it, Aunt Lin, don't you feel tired?" Last night was so dangerous, the guards were tired, and it was normal to reduce the number of people on duty in the courtyard. There is nothing else in this courtyard except the corpse of Gu Pozi lying in the house, so why do you need to care so much. ”

Lin Yue and Zhong Qinghe, who were asked, didn't react for a while, and asked in unison, "This has never been the case in this mansion, what do you mean by this?

Zhong Li didn't want to deal with them, but it can be seen that they are entangled endlessly, and she can't help but be annoyed, so she said angrily, "There is no chaos in the mansion, and the guards are not neglecting to protect the safety of the mansion, how dangerous it was last night, they did not hesitate one by one, and those guards who died are still in my Tingxue Pavilion The bones are not cold, don't you say this to chill their hearts." Besides, now that Gu Pozi has an accident, it always makes people feel that something is wrong, don't you think?"

Lin Yue immediately sensed that something was wrong when she heard this, and she couldn't find the words for a while, "This...... That one...... The concubine said the wrong thing in a hurry, don't blame Miss Yan. This is not just as Miss Yan said, the house is not peaceful now, and everyone will not choose to speak. "After raising for a long time, I begged for mercy with a smiling face.

"That's it, now is not the time to talk about this after all, Aunt Lin and Sister Qinghe will go in with me. Zhong Li didn't want to talk to them here, so she walked into the room and told the mother and daughter to go in together.

When she saw Gu Pozi, she couldn't help but feel a stagnation in her heart, Gu Pozi's exposed skin had turned black, and her wrists were bleeding black and red, exuding a faint fishy smell.

Lin Yue and Zhong Qinghe entered the room, and stepped forward pretendedly, and said in a sad voice at first, "Mrs. Gu, you have worked hard, although you did something wrong the day before yesterday and collided with Miss Yan...... The palm of his hand was broken. Miss Ke Yan is kind enough to let ...... Let the doctor renew your ...... Continued...... Yesterday was fine...... Okay, I didn't think you'd ...... like this today" Before they could finish speaking, they screamed and fell to the ground, stumbled out of the door, and left the backyard in a hurry.

Zhong Li slowly walked towards Mrs. Gu, looked around the furnishings in the house, and didn't find anything wrong, so she had to leave temporarily. In the main hall, Nie Geng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw her return, he immediately told him in detail about the things that Prince Ling had explained, so that Zhong Li could not be impatient for a while, and waited for Situ Lin to come to the mansion to visit.

"It's hard work, the garrison and patrol in the house will have to work for you two brothers. Now that the enemy is in the dark, I am in the open, and all our precautions must also be cautious, but it is not easy to catch the ghosts inside, we all have to pay more attention, Nie Duo in the backyard has already arranged it, and the rest of the house will be arranged by you. Zhong Li did not shy away from the people in the main hall, and ordered Nie Geng, who returned from outside.

Nie Geng immediately understood what Zhong Li meant, raised his hand and saluted, "Please rest assured, Miss Yan, my subordinates will arrange it immediately." With that, he withdrew.

"Miss Yan, Princess Ling and the prince came to visit the mansion, and they were almost outside the mansion. Nie Geng just withdrew, and the little servant in the concierge hurried into the main hall to report.

Zhong Li immediately got up and tidied up her dress, "Go to Aunt Lin and Miss Shu immediately, and ask them not to delay outside the mansion gate to go out with me to greet Princess Ling and the prince." Immediately instructed the little girl beside him, and took the girl's mother-in-law to greet Princess Ling Chu Xiangjun and the prince Situ Lin outside the mansion.

Princess Ling's carriage and horses are not luxurious, a light yellow two-wheel drive carriage, embroidered with the royal palace on the curtain, slowly stopped in front of the door of the Zhenguo Gongzhong Mansion, the little guy who drove the car lifted the curtain unhurriedly, Situ Lin wore a dark blue and dark silver tuan-patterned robe and got off the car first, and his hair was tied up high, which made him look cold and extraordinary. I saw him standing next to the carriage, raising his hand to help his mother Chu Xiangjun get out of the carriage.

Zhong Li stood quietly outside the gate of the mansion, watching Princess Ling's eyes suddenly moisten. In her previous life, although she married the prince, the princess in front of her regarded her as her own, and it can be said that she had a deep mother-daughter relationship, but she had no choice but to say that the holy will could not be described. Unexpectedly, less than three years after the crown prince ascended the throne, the Zhong Mansion, the Lingwang Mansion, and the Yunlu Immortal Residence were all wiped out overnight.

"Zhong Li visited Princess Ling, and Princess Ling was blessed with good health. Zhong Li gathered her mind and bowed to Chu Xiangjun Yingying, who was walking towards her, and the people behind her also knelt down and saluted.

Chu Xiangjun walked forward quickly, picked up Zhong Li, two lines of hot tears slipped down instantly, and said in a choked voice, "Good boy, get up, get up, you have suffered all these years." ”

Zhong Li's heart seemed to be blocked with a ball of cotton, "Princess, autumn is already strong, please go to the main hall and sit down for a while, I'll let the girl go to clean up Xinxue Courtyard first and then move." ”

"Okay, okay, Li'er can arrange it no matter what. Chu Xiangjun took Zhong Li's hand with joy and sorrow, and said yes again and again.

Situ Lin coughed lightly on the side, breaking the atmosphere of the two meeting. At this moment, Chu Xiangjun realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate, glanced at him with slight disgust, and looked at Zhong Li with a smile on his face, "I didn't surprise you just now, did you? Since your mother's death, the Zhong Mansion and the Situ Mansion have had little contact, but I am concerned about you all the time, but after all, ......" Before she finished speaking, she began to cry.

Zhong Li immediately comforted, "The princess doesn't have to be sad, after the mother goes, the Lin family will control the whole house, and her princess will naturally not have anything to do with her." Besides, the princess and her mother were originally Jin Lan, but her mother passed away suddenly, after all, she was the Zhong family, and the princess couldn't take care of it even if she wanted to. Therefore, the princess does not need to be sad, the most difficult time has passed. Now, I'm not the kid who was at her mercy and bullied. ”

Chu Xiangjun looked at Zhong Li with satisfaction, looked at the two of them back and forth, and said softly, "What Li'er said is that it will get better and better in the future." If you ask your servants to come today, you must have something to do, just look for this bastard. ”

Zhong Li and Princess Ling talked softly along the way, and Princess Ling also talked about her son Situ Lin from time to time, but when she got close to the main hall, an inappropriate voice of abuse and ridicule fell into everyone's ears.

Zhong Qinghe was shocked, for what he saw in the backyard before, Gu Pozi's death was related to the medicine on the head and face she returned, plus over the years, their mother and daughter have blindly climbed the dragon and attached to the phoenix, tending to curry favor with the emperor's relatives and relatives, and wanted to marry into the Lingwang Mansion as the concubine of the prince Situ Lin, but after hitting the wall several times, the mother and daughter held a grudge against Princess Ling.

Zhong Qinghe learned from the subordinates that Princess Ling had arrived, Zhong Li asked them all to greet them in front of the mansion, so she didn't fight anywhere, and played a majestic role in the main hall against the subordinates who came to find them, "Why did Princess Ling come to the mansion to ask us to greet her, this must be the person she sent to invite to support herself." We'll just wait in the main hall, you go back to her, it's her business what to do, it's none of my business to Madame and Miss. If it weren't for the fact that she had the order of the head of the family in her hand, it would be ridiculous for her to be worthy of letting her lady call herself a concubine in front of her, and let me call her sister in a low voice!"

"Qinghe, be quiet. If you don't go, you won't go, and after a while, she said that she was frightened by Gu Pozi's appearance, and she couldn't get to the door of the mansion in a hurry. Now, we can only be careful with her, lest we let her see anything, especially the medicine ......" Lin Yue had a certain amount of experience after all, and hearing her daughter say this, she immediately stopped her from following up.
