After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Rainstorm like a waterfall.

Dada, Dada——

A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds penetrated the dense rain curtain in the streets and alleys, galloping from far away.

The horse's hooves splashed raindrops everywhere, but the rider seemed to be oblivious to the downpour. He did not even bother to wipe off the rain running down his eyebrows and eyes. He just lowered his head and rushed forward desperately.

In such a storm, even the magnificent vermilion gate of Xinyuan Marquis Mansion looked dim.

At this time, except for a few lanterns still struggling to hold on under the eaves, the main, side and corner doors of the Marquis' Mansion were all closed, and even the gatekeepers had retreated.

"Xu..."

The man suddenly pulled the reins of the saddle. The horse under him was already extremely tired. White foam came out of its lips. It jumped high with its front hooves, let out a hoarse neigh, and fell down with a loud bang!

The man on the horse turned over and jumped off the horse very nimbly. He took two steps at a time and ran straight to the gate of Xinyuan Marquis' Mansion.

“Knock knock knock!”

He clenched his palm into a fist and slammed the door, not caring that it was already the middle of the night.

But after knocking on the door for more than ten times, there was still no movement from the doorman. He felt something was wrong and became even more anxious. He shouted loudly, "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Another half cup of tea passed, and just when he wanted to climb over the wall and get in, he finally heard a voice from inside the door, saying, "The house is sealed today. No one is allowed to enter, no matter who it is. Everyone outside, leave immediately!"

The visitor was shocked: "What? The mansion is sealed! What happened in the mansion? Who are you? Don't you even know me? Open the door quickly!"

The person inside the door replied, "The old lady has said that no one is allowed to enter. Go away!"

The person outside the door kicked the door anxiously and shouted, "Where is your manager Cai? Hurry up and ask him to come over and open the door. You can't afford to delay things!"

Seeing his tough tone and knowing he was very familiar with the affairs of the mansion, the guard inside the door couldn't help but take a step back: "You wait!" Then he turned around and went to find the gatekeeper.

When Manager Cai heard someone banging on the door and making trouble, he knew something was wrong and hurried over in the rain: "Who are you? We have been ordered to die. No one is allowed to enter or leave until the seal is lifted. Hurry up and leave!"

He recognized the voice of Manager Cai and raised his voice, "It's me, Yan Ling! I have received the Marquis's order, it's urgent, why don't you open the door!"

Manager Cai couldn't help but be shocked: "Brother Yan!" He glared at the gatekeeper: "How come you can't even recognize this owner?" It was raining so hard, and he still refused to let people in.

He put on a straw raincoat, took out several large keys from his waist, opened the corner door, but did not rush to let anyone in. Instead, he took a look through the crack in the door.

I saw a man outside the door in military uniform, with a sword on his waist. He had a handsome face and a pair of eyes that were so anxious that they seemed to be spitting fire.

It’s Yan Ling!

Manager Cai hurriedly bowed and said, "It is indeed Brother Yan! Do you have any proof that you are following the orders of the Marquis?"

After wasting so much time, Yan Ling had already lost his patience. He quickly took something out of his pocket and flashed it: "Here is the Marquis's token! Is it enough proof?"

This is a carved plaque made of black gold wood inlaid with white jade, with clouds and flowers carved, and the craftsmanship is extremely fine. When Manager Cai saw this, he hurriedly opened the door and bowed to the bottom: "I am confused. Lord Yan, please come in!"

Yan Ling didn't have time to argue with him. He stuffed the token into his arms and walked towards the inner palace with big strides.

He neither held an umbrella nor wore a straw raincoat. He walked very quickly, as if there was no one around, and headed straight for Song Shoutang.

The further he went inside, the more uneasy Yan Ling felt. The Marquis was not in the mansion, and what major incident had happened to the family members that made the old lady decide to seal up the mansion?

But at this moment he could only suppress his doubts and deal with more important things first.

Along the way, all the courtyards and houses in the marquis' mansion were dark and silent, except for the bright lights in front of Songshou Hall, where faint voices could be heard.

Yan Ling was anxious. He did not care about the several maids who were blocking his way in front of the hall. He just hurriedly said, "I have something important to report," and rushed in!

He ran to the old lady's main house in a few steps. The heavy door curtain could not block out the bright lights inside.

Yan Ling thought this was perfect, as it would save him from wasting time looking for someone to report to.

Yan Ling wiped the rain off her head and face, took a deep breath, and walked straight into the hall despite the surprised gaze of the maid guarding the gate.

Without even raising his head, he knelt down in the hall and said loudly, "Yan Ling wants to see the old lady!" After he finished speaking, he looked up and was shocked.

Yan Ling never expected that at this late hour and with it raining so heavily outside, the house was packed with people!

Luo Miaoyun, Shen Chongyao and others were fine, but even the frail Miss Ning was there. He looked around again and found an old woman kneeling in front of the hall, surrounded by several young men, looking like she had committed a serious crime.

At this time, everyone in Songshou Hall was keeping silent and on high alert, waiting for Madam Liu to reply. They were suddenly surprised to see a person rushing in from outside the house.

It was Shen Chongyao who reacted first: "Yan Ling! Aren't you with the Marquis in Daonan? Why are you back at this time!"

Yan Ling took out the Marquis's personal token from his arms, raised it above his head with both hands, and crawled a few steps on his knees to the old lady. Before she could speak, Xiu Yu hurried down and handed the token to the old lady.

He kowtowed three times, and when he raised his head again, tears were streaming down his face. Yan Ling said sadly:

"Madam! The Marquis was assassinated in Daonan, with dozens of wounds on his back and abdomen. He is seriously injured and in critical condition. He is now unconscious!"

Madam Zhu was as if she had been hit on the head with a hammer. She was unable to recover for a long time: "What!"

She raised her foot and walked forward, but forgot about the footrest under the seat. She stumbled and almost fell in a trance.

Xiuyu tried her best to hold her back, but Madam Zhu seemed unaware and asked sternly, "What did you say?!"

Yan Ling fell to the ground and said in a sad voice: "Yan Ling dare not curse the Marquis. The Marquis has been taken advantage of by the traitors and his life is in danger. He is in danger of extinction!"

Old Madam Zhu let out a short "Ah", her body went limp, and she fell over on her back!

Fortunately, Xiu Yu was quick-witted and quickly stepped under the old lady, preventing her from falling and getting hurt.

The whole room was in chaos. Those sitting there were all the Marquis' closest relatives, including his mother, wives, concubines, brothers and children. They were all greatly disturbed when they heard the tragic news.

Yan Ling rushed to the old lady, very anxious: "Old lady, please wake up!" He traveled day and night, and exhausted two horses, before he managed to send the news back to the Marquis' Mansion. Now, everyone was relying on the old lady to save people!

What if the old lady collapses? What will happen to the Marquis?

At this time, a beautiful female voice was heard: "Old Madam, you must hold on, the Marquis is counting on you at this time!"

Yan Ling looked up and saw that the girl had a pale face, tears in her eyes, and was as slender as a willow, but she managed to remain calm and hold Madam Zhu's hand.

It was Ning'er.
