Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 113 The real daughter, she quit (59)

Zhao and Wu Xiuyuan didn't dare to close their eyes. When the sky became slightly brighter, a low-pitched horn finally sounded in the distance. It was the emperor's guard of honor when he was about to drive back to the palace.

As soon as the royal family moved, all the ministers and family members who had been in panic for a long time naturally embarked on the road back to Beijing, as if something was chasing after them at a fast speed.

The news that the emperor was assassinated at the Royal Autumn Hunt soon shocked the entire capital, and it was said that the assassin was a barbarian. With new and old grudges added together, the whole court was extremely angry, and they wrote letters asking the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The emperor naturally had no reason to refuse, after all, he was the one who was the most angry after the incident.

As I mentioned before, once the superior gets old, the jealousy will spread and grow wildly. Coupled with the physical weakness, now that those barbarians have sneaked into the capital without a sound, how can he not be angry? Doubt?

As expected, the emperor entrusted the task of finding out the assassination to Lu Chengen who appeared in front of Qiu Lie that night like a heavenly soldier. Immediately afterwards, news came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill. Daily pilgrimage.

In this way, the ministers who are still in shock can only stay at home all day long. It's okay for Wu Xiuyuan's magnanimous and clear way, and there are a few more days of physical and mental cultivation for no reason.But that screwdriver had ghosts in his heart, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the days are like years.

Lu Chengen was like a sharp knife hanging high above the capital, and everyone had a premonition that once this sharp knife fell, it would definitely wash the capital with blood.

Haiyao doesn't care about the turmoil in the outside world.Mrs. Zhao was probably frightened by the night at the royal hunting ground. After returning home, she was not allowed to leave the house at will until the matter came to an end, and she was completely detained by her side, embroidering her wedding dress stitch by stitch. .

During this period, the Song family occasionally came to Qingsongyuan to inquire about what happened on the day of Qiuhun. After all, most people in the world only know that the emperor encountered an assassin, but they can't explain the cause and effect of the incident. Naturally, they want to find a so-called 'Understanding' asked the previous question.

It's a pity that Zhao's mouth was tight, and she just said that she was in the tent the whole time when the incident happened, and she didn't know what happened to make it perfunctory.

As for Haiyao, she wouldn't tell the Song family that something happened to Wu Jinzhen, because Aunt Zhen from Sima Mansion was taken away as a spy, and this was a secret that even Wu Xiuyuan didn't know about.

The Song family could only return disappointed every time, until the dark and silent capital was awakened by a chaotic and loud sound of iron hooves in the middle of the night.And those who move quickly back and forth in the alleys of the noble district of Dongcheng are the elite soldiers and powerful generals of the Dachang Kingdom. The fine steel armor and the fine steel saber in each person's hands are even more recognizable at a glance. Which general did these soldiers belong to?

Every alley and alley illuminated by the fire was like daytime, but everyone dared to stay in the mansion with the door closed, looking anxiously at the sky-like fire outside, and silently praying for the sun to rise soon.

Probably because the dark night always makes people feel particularly insecure, even Wu Xiuyuan sat in the main hall closest to the gate all night, and Mrs. Zhao accompanied him, twirling Buddhist beads and chanting Amitabha Buddha, on the ground in the center The incense in the large censer was also replaced wave after wave.

Even though the couple didn't want to inform Haiyao about this, she still received the news in the middle of the night when she was far away in the Liuliyuan.

Although she knew very well that Lu Chengen never fought uncertain battles, when facing such behemoths as the East Palace, Luo Mansion, and Sima Mansion, she still couldn't help but sweat for him.

Fortunately, the movement outside finally disappeared when the sky was just polished, but just when Wu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, someone knocked on the gate of Wu Mansion suddenly like thunder.

Facing the porter's timid yet questioning eyes, Wu Xiuyuan frowned and pondered for a while, then finally nodded slightly.

Fortunately, when the gate was slowly opened, there was someone from the palace standing outside, and the other party was following the emperor's wishes to inform him to go to the palace to attend the morning court.

Wu Xiuyuan didn't dare to delay, changed his court clothes in a hurry and went straight to the palace, and this trip lasted a whole day, the anxious Zhao was restless.

In the end, she even called Haiyao, took a few servants with the best hand and foot skills in the mansion, and left the mansion in a carriage before it was too late, intending to inquire about the situation in the palace.

When passing the alley where Luo's Mansion and Sima's Mansion are located, Mrs. Zhao deliberately lifted the curtain of the car and poked her head out to look around for a long time, because the light in the alley was really dim, and she couldn't see anything. Come.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to go to visit a lady he was familiar with on weekdays, but it was a pity that the man of the other party was also called into the palace early, so far no news has been sent back.

At this moment, countless possibilities flashed through Zhao's mind. After bidding farewell to the lady she had befriended, she took Haiyao and ordered the coachman to go around the palace.It's a pity that the security outside the palace was much stricter than before. Before the carriage approached, the imperial guards in the palace stepped forward to expel them politely and tactfully.

In desperation, the mother and daughter returned to the Wu Mansion when it was just dark. In order to properly divert Zhao's attention, Haiyao took the initiative to stay in Qingsongyuan and started sewing by the way.

Until it was close to the third watch, there was finally some movement in the front yard, and soon there was an enthusiastic announcement from the gatekeeper of Qingsongyuan: "The master is back! The master is back!"

As soon as Wu Xiuyuan entered the room, he ignored Mrs. Zhao's anxious gaze, and walked directly to the table to drink up a pot of tea that was already slightly cold. Then he began to shake his head and sigh, and said in his mouth: "Dachang Kingdom is really serious this time. It's going to change!"

It is said that a woman's ignorance is virtue, let alone talking about government affairs, so the man didn't say too much, but just answered Zhao's question in a vague way to calm her heart a little.

Haiyao was in no hurry about this, and after leaving Qingsong Courtyard, she returned to her own Liuli Courtyard as usual, with Chunxi taking care of her after familiarizing herself with it, she climbed onto the couch, put out the candles, and prepared to go to sleep.

Anyway, Wu Xiuyuan was able to return safely, which means that the process should be safe and sound, and the final result is still good.

After spending a long time outside with Mrs. Zhao during the day, and embroidering belts with her head down until almost dawn, even though she was always full of energy, she couldn't hold on anymore.It's just that one second before she fell asleep, she was still thinking about it, that she would invite Lu Chengen to Ruxiangfang again some day, and carefully ask about what happened inside and outside the palace in the past two days. ask.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Haiyao frowned slightly uncomfortable behind the tulle on the couch, and after adjusting her posture twice, she finally got up slowly.

It was only then that she realized that the sky outside the window was already bright, she stretched out her hand and lifted the gauze curtain, she sat on the edge of the couch and frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Chunxi, who had been watching outside, probably heard the movement, and after saying hello, she pushed open the door and came in, with an unhappy look on her face, she put down the basin in her hand and pouted and said, "Girl, When the master returned home last night, did he mention General Lu to you?"

"Nothing." Haiyao frowned, but her expression didn't change.

"Master is too much!" The little girl couldn't help but continued to complain, maybe she was still afraid in her heart, so she lowered her voice very low: "This morning, the street outside is very lively, and the little girl in our courtyard I ran out and inquired with the lady who was doing the shopping in the kitchen, and it turned out that General Lu was ordered to go to the border to fight again!"

"It is said that this battle was particularly difficult. The emperor personally went up to the city gate tower to see the soldiers off. General Lu drank the farewell wine and threw bowls with the soldiers. The sound could be heard clearly from far away. "

"The master must have known the news long ago, why didn't he tell the girl? General Lu will also be the son-in-law of our family in the future... I don't know how long it will be, so let you say goodbye to the general anyway." ..."

Chunxi pursed her lips as she spoke. After all, in her heart, her young lady and General Lu were really a good match. Every time you help each other without complaining, you know that the other party is indeed worth entrusting, and it is better than those blind marriages by a hundred times.

The battlefield has always been the place with the most uncertain factors. If this battle is difficult to fight, it would not be so strange to delay it for four or five years.

Four or five years!My young lady will be an old lady by then.

At first Haiyao didn't pay much attention to it, but when she heard the little girl's mention, she raised her eyebrows suspiciously, turned around and walked back to the couch, after a few times of scrutiny, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes.

The embroidered dark blue men's belt that she brought back from Qingsongyuan last night was originally placed on the small table under the window by her, but it had disappeared at this time, and she went through the middle hall to the other side of the main house. In the study room on one side, as expected, I saw an envelope placed in the middle of the desk.

Calmly dismissing Chunxi, Haiyao opened the letter, the words on the fine rice paper were vigorous and powerful, and one could see the unique style of the person who wrote it at a glance.

Lu Chengen should have been in a hurry when writing this letter, but he still explained clearly some things she was curious about with only a few words.

The crown prince has fallen, and even the Luo family and the Sima family have no good end.

Originally, the emperor's plan was for Lu Chengen to come forward and secretly take care of Luo's and Sima's mansions, and then find an excuse to remove the title of Prince of the East Palace, so as to barely maintain the royal family's face.

After all, when the crown prince had an affair with a barbarian, the royal family would be severely slapped in the face when word spread.

However, what is surprising is that after Lu Chengen brought so many soldiers into the Luo family and Sima's house silently under the cover of night the night before, he did not find Mr. Luo, Sima county magistrate, Luo Hongxin, etc. silhouette of man.

At the same time, the palace was already in chaos. It turned out that the prince, Luo Hongxin and others had obviously noticed that the emperor had become suspicious, so they decided to take the risk and force the palace again on the night when Lu Chengen made a move.

It's a pity that they fell into Lu Chengen's trick after all, and when the crown prince and Luo Hongxin led people to surround the emperor's bedroom, they were directly made dumplings from the outside.

The prince panicked and broke down the door of the bedroom, but was shocked to find that Lu Cheng'en, who was supposed to steal the houses of Luo Mansion and Sima Mansion in the city, was playing chess face to face with the emperor.

Needless to say later, chaos is inevitable. Fortunately, the sun still rises from the east in the end.

It was also because of this that the emperor summoned all the ministers in the court into the palace early in the morning, sang a good show of killing chickens and monkeys, and directly dealt with Luo Taifu, Sima County Duke and Luo Hongxin in front of so many people. The culprit of all the culprits, it is said that the blue brick floor in the palace has been soaked into a dark color by blood.

Seeing this, Haiyao blinked her eyes clearly, no wonder Wu Xiuyuan came back yesterday looking overly frightened, feeling terrified.

While shaking her head with a slight smile, she finally turned to the last page of those rice papers.

　I wish you all a happy new year~
