Chapter 18: Crying and Mourning!
"That's right, so we can't act rashly now, and going over there now will definitely be thought to have something to do with it. Lin Yue took Zhong Qinghe's hand with relief, walked to the table and sat down, and motioned for the girl to step back first, "Although the prince is indeed very good, no matter how he is a courtier, the prince is different, he is the future emperor of the prince, if you marry the prince, then you are the mother of the country of Xuanhan, and the prince of Ling must also perform the courtesy of the monarch when he sees you." ”
Zhong Qinghe frowned, and said angrily, "Of course I know this, but the holy decree clearly must be the daughter of the Zhong Mansion, but although the daughter has the name of a concubine, she has never worshiped her ancestors, and this concubine is also unjustifiable." Seeing Lin Yue's unwilling face, the green tendons on her forehead were slightly convex, she immediately changed the topic, "And tonight's incident, the entire Zhong Mansion already knows what happened, it's really inappropriate for us to stay in the Fuyuan Courtyard." ”
"It's really inappropriate, but the rash past now may not be beneficial to our mother and daughter. Lin Yue retracted her mind and thought slightly, "In this way, we will prepare now, and then stop the movement outside to decide on countermeasures." ”
Zhong Qinghe's eyes rolled slightly, and she smiled when she was concerned, leaned over Lin Yue's ear and whispered, "Mother, now we can know that there is an assassin, and there is a fire, then we will let the maid in first...... , we can go from our father's study to Xinxue Courtyard, so that our suspicion will not be gone. ”
"That's right, it's just a bit of a risk, it's best if you can hide it, if they don't fail, your father will only get the corpses, and even if their true identities are discovered, their purpose will not be investigated, let alone suspect us. Lin Yue admired her daughter's plan very much, and summoned the maids to tie their hair in a bun and tie them behind her at will.
The two of them took the maid to Zhong Zihong's study quickly, and the two of them walked briskly all the way, and when they were about to get to the study, they kept urging the maid to speed up, making them look embarrassed, and they were helpless, just when they were about to cry and go to the study, the left and right deputy generals stayed outside the study and did not let anyone approach.
"Aunt Lin, Second Miss, please stay, the master has ordered no one to enter the study, please go back!"
"Presumptuous! There are assassins in the house, you don't even do anything, let me go in and I want to meet the master!" Lin Yue scolded with an anxious face, "The master is in the study? ”
"Aunt Lin, please go back, you can't approach the study without the master's warrant. The right lieutenant did not answer her question, and repeated the sentence in a more and more forceful tone.
Lin Yue saw that he couldn't enter the study, so he could only go away in a huff, and rushed to Xinxue Courtyard with Zhong Qinghe, but on the way, he directly bumped into the old housekeeper who came out of Xinxue Courtyard, and the two of them immediately stopped him and asked in detail about the situation over there, but the old housekeeper was not in the courtyard at that time, and only told them that the master and the prince were going to set up a mourning hall in Xinxue Courtyard.
Hearing that Xinxue Courtyard was going to set up a mourning hall, Zhong Qinghe and Lin Yue showed a touch of joy, in order not to make the old housekeeper suspicious, the two stopped asking too much and let the old housekeeper leave.
"Mother, you said that Xin Xue Yuan set up a mourning hall, could it be that the little slut died?" Zhong Qinghe saw the old housekeeper leaving, observed the surroundings, made sure that no one was around, and asked in a low voice.
Lin Yue smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked at Zhong Qinghe, "Wouldn't you know if you go and take a look?" Qinghe, you must remember that now is not the time to be complacent, we still have to be cautious and not show our feet. ”
"This is natural, the daughter will never show her feet, and the mother can rest assured. Zhong Qinghe raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "Next, it depends on my daughter's performance, and I will not disappoint you." ”
Lin Yue nodded approvingly, and took Zhong Qinghe's hand, "Let's go, let's go over." "Take people to Xinxue Courtyard.
Qu Ming walked quickly into the Tingxue Pavilion, "Shizi, those assassins have been settled. Someone is coming here, and it seems to be in a hurry. Qu Mingke's opinion is very heavy.
Situ Lin glanced at Zhong Zihong, "Does General Zhong want to avoid it?"
"I want to see what they do. Zhong Zihong said categorically, without any intention of leaving.
Situ Lin didn't say much, after all, this matter was the matter of the Zhong Mansion, and it was indeed inappropriate to forcibly let Zhong Zihong avoid it. He looked at Zhong Li with prying eyes in his eyes, "Miss Zhong, do you want to prepare?"
"This also needs the assistance of Qu Ming, the guard beside the prince. Zhong Li was also polite, and asked Qu Ming for assistance directly.
Qu Ming didn't say much, and walked behind Zhong Li silently, listening to Zhong Li's order, the candlelight flickered in the entire Tingxue Pavilion, and the people cleaned up the blood stains in the courtyard, which seemed to be orderly but full of suffocating tragedy.
Zhong Li glanced at Zhong Zihong lightly, lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and commanded in a low voice, "Du Juan and Qu Ming will go to the back with me first, and here will be handed over to my father and Prince Ling." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked behind the curtains.
Not long after, there was a cry outside, "Master, who is so vicious that he wants to set fire?"
"Father, what happened, why is this happening?" Zhong Qinghe cried and rushed into the Xinxue Courtyard, heading straight to the Listening Snow Pavilion with a candle flame.
When Lin Yue and Zhong Qinghe had tears on their faces, they were dumbfounded when they stepped into the Tingxue Pavilion, and they didn't see Zhong Li's body in the Tingxue Pavilion, but the corpses of many government soldiers and maids, and the death was extremely terrifying, so that the two of them stayed in place and forgot to shout, until Zhong Zihong opened his mouth to ask, and then came back to his senses.
"Why are you here, I don't know what the assassins are doing here? If you encounter something on the road, you are not afraid of giving your life?" Zhong Zihong asked in a deep voice, his face was extremely bad, how tightly guarded the Zhenguo General's Mansion was, but now such a thing has happened, and who is this thing coming for is even more mysterious.
Zhong Qinghe was asked by Zhong Zihong, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he cried bitterly, "Father, my mother and I heard that there were assassins in the house, and we were very scared, for fear that something would happen to our father, so I rushed to the study with my mother and someone, but when we got to the study...... Only then did I know that my father was here, and I met ...... on the way When the housekeeper learned that something had happened, he hurried over, and he didn't think about meeting anyone at all, and my mother and I didn't think about it when I didn't give my life. ”
"Haven't you thought about it?" Situ Lin sneered and looked at the two of them who were stunned, his eyes burst out with a cold light, and he didn't give the two a chance to defend himself, and continued, "However, this world thinks that you are here to be quite interesting, and it has been three moments since now, no matter how big the Zhong Mansion is, it will be too long in this time?"
