[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Standing in front of the legendary Princess Huiguo's mansion, the three of them were a little surprised.

Although this court doesn't treat the son-in-law very well, it treats the princess favorably.Except for the princesses who married far away from outside the Great Wall, most of the other princess mansions were built in aristocratic districts, official residence areas, or even in rich business districts full of local tyrants. Those who settled in the suburbs like Princess Huiguo's mansion, only this one has no semicolon.

Zhan Zhao looked around, "Isn't this near the imperial mausoleum?"

Zhan Zhao has already traveled around Kaifeng. Although this is the imperial mausoleum, it is not actually the burial site of the Zhao royal family.There are few people here, poor people don't come here, princes and nobles seldom come here, and it is only lively for a few days every year when worshiping ancestors.

Bai Yutang looked at the somewhat dilapidated walls, lowered his head and asked Zhao Zhen, "Is this really the princess mansion?"

Zhao Zhen nodded vigorously, "You have to know, this is the princess mansion bestowed by the emperor, and it's normal to be abnormal!"

Bai Yutang: "..."

This sentence obviously has no causal relationship, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable...

Zhan Zhao stepped forward to knock on the door, listened again and again with his ears pricked up, and suddenly came back to Zhao Zhen Bai Yutang with a 'whoosh'.

"someone is coming!"

Bai Yutang looked at him with raised eyebrows: Are you sure it's a human or not a ghost?

Zhan Zhao glanced at him: With Mr. Bao guarding Kaifeng, who would dare to act presumptuously with demons and goblins!

The two were staring at each other, and felt that their sleeves were heavy. Zhao Zhen raised his head to look at them, and pointed forward with his tender little hand.

"That ghost has been waiting for us for a long time."

The two were excited, and saw a thin old man in Tsing Yi standing in front of the half-open Princess Mansion.

Holding a white lantern with flaming lights in his hands like dead branches, the little old man grinned with indescribably malicious intentions.He bent slightly, his back almost made a 'creak' sound, he stretched out his hand to guide the door, and muttered in his mouth: "The honored guest comes to the door, the honored guest comes to the door, the honored guest comes to the door..."

Three people: "..."

Is this really a haunted house?

**********

Entering the courtyard, it is not so gloomy.

The flowers and plants are not lush enough, but there are no weeds, which shows that someone has taken good care of them for a long time.The servants are all in plain clothes, coming and going without making a sound, with their heads bowed in an orderly manner.The entire princess mansion doesn't have any bright colors, it seems like it's doing something for nothing...?

The three looked at each other and thought of Lin Lang's mother who had just passed away.

My mother-in-law has passed away, although the princess doesn't have to wear sackcloth and filial piety, it's not good to be popular and annoying.

The leading maid took the three of them into the living room, where Princess Huiguo was already waiting.

Princess Huiguo was dressed in plain clothes, the simplicity could not hide the luxury.She doesn't have any hairpins or jewelry on her body, and she wears thin makeup on her face, which makes her look much older than her peers.She sat in a high position coldly, with her back straight, looking dull and serious.

Just based on appearance, you will never believe that she was once a spoiled girl.

Seeing Zhao Zhen, Princess Huiguo supported the servant girl and bowed standardly, "His Royal Highness is visiting late at night, I don't know what you can do."

Princess Huiguo's voice was very low. Zhao Zhen rubbed his nose, feeling that he was probably unwelcome.

Zhao Zhen returned the gift, "It's about Concubine Lin, it's really helpless to disturb sister Huang."

Hearing the words 'Consort Lin', Princess Huiguo's froze expression finally changed, "What's wrong with him."

Zhao Zhen gave a rough account of what happened. Princess Huiguo's complexion became paler and her pupils shrunk. She was very shocked.

The princess took a deep breath and sighed: "I don't know, since my in-laws passed away, I haven't seen him again."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "The son-in-law's father also passed away?"

The princess pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It's only two days later than my mother-in-law. Before my mother-in-law's funeral is over, my father-in-law just..." The princess sighed faintly, "Since then, the son-in-law has been avoiding me. I know, he is blaming me..."

The princess stood up and took two steps, turned her back to everyone and said, "I only know that he placed the spiritual tablet of his parents-in-law in the Temple of Death on the outskirts of the city, and every day when the eminent monks chanted sutras, he would go to worship. If you want to find him, go there Bar……"

This is obviously to see off guests.

Everyone frowned subconsciously, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out for a while.

Zhao Zhen got up suddenly and said, "It's not too late, let's go to the Temple of Death!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback: What's wrong with Zhao Zhen? He didn't ask anything, and he was leaving without a clue?

Seeing Zhao Zhen wink suddenly, he looked at the shoes that the princess revealed when she moved. They were a pair of black martial boots!

In the blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also realized, Zhan Zhao stretched out his arms to hug Zhao Zhen, and Bai Yutang relied on his good memory to run back along the route he had come in before.Zhan Zhao hugged Zhao Zhen and followed, two figures, one white and one red, fled away like dragons.The actions of the three of them were so sudden that no one could react. It was Princess Huiguo who recovered first and shouted, "Come on!"

The original dull and serious princess seemed to be a different person, she tore off the complicated palace skirt, and she was actually wearing night clothes inside!

The originally quiet and well-behaved servants also showed their true colors, picking up their swords one by one and chasing after him.

However, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang moved too fast, using the cover of the night, they quickly escaped without a trace in the chaos of war.

The fake princess slammed the sword fiercely, "Search for me, they must have not left the princess mansion yet!"

Not far away, Zhao Zhen crouched in the crevice of the rockery holding a knife and a sword.

Because Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are too tall, they can only hang awkwardly on the back of the rockery.Bai Yutang propped his feet on the mountain wall, put his arm around Zhan Zhao, and looked up at the sky with all his heart.Zhan Zhao was standing quite well by himself, but suddenly Bai Yutang pulled him, and he lay on Bai Yutang's body, the tip of his nose was the unique cold fragrance of Bai Yutang's body, that was awkward~~~

Zhan Zhaohong struggled with his ears, "Take your hands away, I can stand on my own!"

Bai Yutang looked serious, "Don't make trouble, cat! The white color is too conspicuous, let me use your clothes to block it."

Zhan Zhao blinked, and felt that the words were reasonable, so he changed into a comfortable position and lay down obediently, really not moving...

Just like that, with Bai Yutang hugging and Zhan Zhao lying on his stomach, after a long, long, long time, Zhan Zhao suddenly said——

"Hey, who are you called a cat! And the red clothes are also very conspicuous, okay?"

Finally reacted. ╮(╯_╰)╭

Holding a knife and a sword, Zhao Zhen stood under the rockery and sighed: "Hey, everyone is gone, how long will you two hug each other?"

Zhan Zhao looked for a foothold, and stepped on Bai Yutang's clothes before jumping off the rockery.

Bai Yutang looked at the little black footprints on the hem of his clothes, felt a little guilty for no reason, and jumped off the rockery.

Zhao Zhen held up the sword and returned it to them, "What should we do now?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "Let's go out first, I remember the way, since she wants us to go to Xiangsheng Temple so much, why don't we go and have a look."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "Guess, will Mr. Bao be here?"

Bai Yutang frowned, "This place is too big, it's hard to find someone."

Zhao Zhen smacked his lips, "It's good that Chengying is here, he is better at finding people and hiding."

**********

Kaifeng Mansion, which has always been bustling and bustling, is a little deserted today.

Seven years of wandering life made Concubine Li seriously ill.Concubine Li is not like Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen is growing up, as long as he takes good care of him, minor ailments and pains can be cured quickly.Concubine Li is just the opposite. She was pampered and pampered when she was young, but now that she is old, her recovery is slower than ordinary people.Gongsun set a healthy schedule for her, asking her to go to bed early and get up early, work properly, have a balanced diet, and maintain a happy mood.

Concubine Li is a smart woman. Seeing that Zhao Zhen left without returning, she knew that something must have happened outside, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Concubine Li couldn't fall asleep, she leaned against the bed and sighed softly: "Zhen'er, why haven't you come back..."

At this time, a round-faced little girl came in with a medicine bowl, and said crisply: "Madam, the soothing soup is ready."

Because Concubine Li is blind, her other senses are particularly keen, and she is very easy to wake up after falling asleep. Every night, she relies on soothing soup to fall asleep.He took the medicine bowl from the servant girl's hand and sighed slightly, "Little girl, how old are you?"

The little maid blinked, "I can't remember, I was sold to the old bustard by my parents before I could remember anything, luckily a good man adopted me."

Concubine Li stretched out her hand to touch the little maid, "Touching the skeleton, she's probably fifteen or sixteen years old..."

The little maid seemed to feel itchy, she smiled and avoided, "Young lady, drink the medicine quickly, it will be even more bitter when it gets cold."

Concubine Li held the medicine bowl and said nothing, her expression seemed a little sad and regretful.

The little maid was stunned, "What's wrong with you, my lady?"

Concubine Li sighed: "You are fifteen or sixteen years old, but you want to use poison to kill people. The person who adopted you is not a good person."

The little girl's face changed, "What are you talking about, what are you killing, my lady?" The little girl's voice was still soft, but her expression changed completely.She took out a dagger from her bosom, the blade was obviously poisoned, and her eyes seemed to be poisoned too...

The little maid's hand holding the knife was very steady, so steady that it was impossible for her to kill someone for the first time.

Concubine Li put down the warm medicine bowl and shook her head: "Silly girl, you have been serving me for so long, don't you know that I have a very good nose and ears? You added something else to the Anshen Decoction, and the medicine smells so strange, how do you tell me to drink it? You put a hard object and a dagger together, and the impact is so loud, how can I trust you?"

The little servant girl's eyes flashed, and the poisonous dagger stabbed towards her suddenly, but was blocked by a longer dagger.

For the convenience of lurking, the little maid is not good at martial arts, she can't even catch Chengying's move.The little servant girl smiled coldly, a stream of black blood poured out from the corner of her mouth, her round face was distorted, her nimble eyes were wide open, as if she still had some unfulfilled wish... she would never die.

Chengying took a step forward, almost closing the little girl's eyes, but Concubine Li stopped him.

"If you don't want to die with peace, let her open her eyes. She still has someone she wants to see..."

Is there someone you want to meet?

Cheng Ying pursed her lips, took a step back silently, and returned to the hiding place.

Concubine Li groped and bent down, patted the little maid's arms, found the hard object that hit the dagger just now, and touched it carefully...

This is the badge of Kaifeng Mansion...

Concubine Li's eyes were astringent.

This silly girl, because she wants to kill someone, can't she bring it with her...
