Chapter 180 Troubled

"Yes, it's not difficult to guess, but the connection before and after the matter is so coincidental. You forget that the tiger charm was originally in the hands of Zhuo Yuancan. If no one revealed the news, who would have thought that the tiger charm had changed its owner?" Li Ren stared at Huanying and was a little impatient. Once a woman didn't want to believe it, even if the facts were in front of her, would she still look at it? He didn't know whether to sympathize with Huanying or despise her. "My aunt and Yuan Can are angry because of your affairs. Yuan Can ignores government affairs all day long. He and Shuanger indulges in playing in the Anzhi Palace. Then his aunt went to the Anzhi Palace to force him to hand over the tiger charm. Shuang'er should have seen it with her own eyes at that time. She later went to Zhen Mei to persuade Zhen Mei. Help her steal the tiger charm from her aunt. As a result, they searched in Zhuque Palace for a long time and did not see the shadow of the tiger charm. After that, Zhen Mei summoned me and asked me about the whereabouts of the tiger charm from my mouth.

"Why does Shuang'er have to find the tiger charm?" Huanxuan Liu asked with deep eyebrows, "Does the whereabouts of the tiger charm have anything to do with her?"

"Listen to Zhen Mei's meaning, Shuang'er seemed to be worried that her aunt would abolish Zhuo Yuancan, so she wanted to steal the tiger charm back. I didn't think much at that time. I just comforted Zhen Mei. If the empress dowager really abolished the emperor, I would definitely help her, but I didn't expect..." Li Ren sadly clenched his palms and said, "The disaster has actually been quietly pressing from other directions. It's close, but we all don't know.

Huanying was silent. No matter whether the person who leaked the secret to Lou Xun was Shuang'er or not, Shan Cong'er was so deliberate and persuaded Zhen Mei to steal the tiger charm. It seemed that the two people were completely different from the simple little girl she had always identified in her mind. Of course, Li Ren will definitely talk to Zhen Mei, but the Empress Dowager Li will not abolish the emperor, which does not have much impact on Zhen Mei. She is the niece of the Empress Dowager Li, and the queen who is right. After all, the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children. After Li Taihou, she will fight fiercely. At most, she will grasp the government and leave Yuan Can aside. Jinyi and Yushi are just for him and Zhen Mei. What's more, with Zhen Mei's ability, I really can't think of such a bold plan as stealing the tiger charm under the eyes of the Empress Dowager Li.

Seeing that Huanxuan no longer argued, Li Ren understood that Huanxuan was finally willing to listen to some of his words, so he said, "And you know, Miss Changsun, your son did not die in the palace chaos. She was hidden by Lou Xun in the Huang Old Temple in the suburbs. Lou Xun was cunning and especially afraid of being plotted. Since she ascended the throne, almost an inch He doesn't go out of the palace, but he will go to have fun with Shuang'er at a fixed time. If Shuang'er has nothing to do with Lou Xun, Li won't believe it!"

"What? Did Shuang'er follow Lou Xun? Did you really follow Lou Xun? Huang Lao Temple? I know, but isn't it a quiet place for Taoism? When..." Huanying's body shook, and his hands and feet were cold.

"I don't know when it will become a rotten place. Anyway, when I found that Lou Xun went to visit Shuang'er, the master had become a very unscrupulous old-fashioned sister-in-law. By the way, it was Lang Dingyuan who led me to find the secret of Lou Xun? If you don't believe it, you can also go to Lang Dingyuan to prove it. I heard that the old sister-in-law seems to be It's Lou Xun's relative. In short, there is no doubt that it is hidden in the Huanglao Temple! But..." Li Ren became hesitant and stopped talking.

"But what? Say it!" Huanxuan asked.

Li Ren's face was bitter and reluctantly said, "I went to Huang Lao Temple to assassinate Lou Xun. As soon as I turned into the window, a person rushed up with a black light. I stabbed casually. As a result, when I heard the other party's scream with a sword in my chest, I knew that the stabbed might be Shuang'er, but Lou Xun disappeared..."

"You, did you kill Shuang'er?" Huanying was so angry that he shivered all over and pointed to Li Ren and said, "You, are you kidding me? If there is no proof of death, right? If there is no evidence, you can talk nonsense.

"No, it's not!" Li Ren was so anxious that he waved his hand repeatedly, "I just said it was possible, because it was Shuang'er's room, but when I woke up, I carefully thought about the situation at that time, and again, I couldn't figure out who the other party was. Besides, I touched the black sword and went down. Maybe I didn't hit the point at all. The other party just fainted? Anyway, I really don't want to kill Shuang'er. My goal is Lou Xun. Who knows..."

"Enough!" Huanxuan interrupted Li Ren's explanation with a cold face, "Don't say any more. Don't say anything. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it!"

Huanying only felt dizzy, and her mind was full of chaos. Li Ren's words and piles made her deeply excited. She couldn't tell whether it was true or false, whether it was grief and indignation or heartbreak. She staggered to open the door, moved out step by step, and fell heavily into the door. Inside the door was Li Ren's voice of concern, "Changsun Huanying, Miss Changsun, are you all right? I really didn't expect things to be like this!"

But Huanying could no longer hear it. She looked up at the darkening sky and asked the sky speechlessly. If she had always thought that it was an swronged hatred, it was a maidservant who treated like a sister, and the maidservant was killed by the so-called enemy. The tragic death of her father and the destruction of the eldest grandson's family, wouldn't the whole thing be better than what she thought? Is it ridiculous? Why did Shuang'er do that? She grew up in Changsun's house. How many days has she slept at her deskmate, talking and laughing intimately? Is the accompanying years just a dream in this absurd nightmare?

Zhou Yanting entered the corridor through the partition wall used for camouflage and walked to the hidden inner hall leading to the corridor. As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, he saw Shi Feng sitting alone at the table. "What about madam?" Zhou Yanting ran to the table a few steps and asked, "I have important information to report to my wife!"

"No, you'd better not disturb your wife for the time being." Shi Feng said with a sad face, "I don't know what's wrong with my wife. Before leaving Mrs. Qi's house, I talked to Li Ren for a while, and then something was wrong. Well, as soon as I came back, I locked myself in the house and didn't even eat dinner."

"Then you knock on the door and persuade your wife to eat. What's the use of sitting here?" Zhou Yanting pushed Shi Feng, "Don't persuade me to go!"

"I've persuaded you!" Shi Feng moved away dissatisfiedly. "Madam said that no one is allowed to disturb her. She wants to be alone."

"Quiet?" Zhou Yanting stared at Shi Feng in surprise, "It can't be Li Ren. I don't know what he said, right?"

Shi Feng shook his head, "I asked, but my wife won't say anything."

"No, then I still have to see my wife. My wife said that if there is important news, I must inform her in time!" After saying that, Zhou Yanting left Shi Feng and went straight to knock on the door inside. Shi Feng couldn't dissuade him, so he went with him.

The door opened in response, and Huanying's eyes appeared calmly in the door. Zhou Yanting was slightly surprised to see this, "Madam, are you all right? General Shi said you..."

"Come in and talk about it." Huanxuan stepped aside from the door. "When we came back, we heard that General Zhou went to verify the news in person, so we have also been waiting for General Zhou to come back. What's the important situation that makes General Zhou have to go in person?"

Zhou Yanting followed Huanxuan into the house, and Shi Fengwei came in. The two sat on the guest's chair one after another.

Zhou Yanting looked at Huanxuan carefully and did not find anything unusual about Huanxuan, so he relaxed a little and said, "Well, after several probes, I learned that the person who was assassinated by Li Ren in Huang Lao Temple that day was Lou Xun's own aunt, named Bai Zhilan, and Lou, who escaped the disaster that night. Xun also took another woman back to the palace. He caught several beggars who often went to the Huanglao Temple to beg. After inquiry, it was confirmed that in addition to a Bai Guanzhu, there was also a young and beautiful Taoist aunt in the Huanglao Temple. No one knew the origin of the identity of the little Taoist nun, but Lou Xun seemed to be very interested in this little Taoist nun, every three times. The fifth one will go to the Huanglao Temple, and only go to the side room where the little Taoist nun lives. Presumably, the person who Ye Louxun brings back to the palace must be the little Taoist aunt.

"Is the deceased Lou Xun's own aunt?" Huanxuan asked in surprise, "Is this news accurate?"

"Accurately, the last general checked it in person and found Bai Zhilan's grave, which said the year of birth, the name of the grave owner, etc. It can be confirmed that it was Bai Zhilan who died on behalf of Lou Xun."

Huanxuan's eyes widened and suddenly fell to the bedside. "So Li Ren is really wrong. Isn't Shuang'er dead?"

"Shuanger, who is Shuanger?" Zhou Yanting asked curiously.

"Oh, it's a long story," Huanxuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about who Shuang'er is. Let me ask you, have you checked the background of Bai Zhilan? And how is Lang Dingyuan these days? Does He Ning still live in Lang Dingyuan's house?

"The background of Bai Zhilan's identity, the last general has sent someone to check. I'm afraid it will take two days to get news back. As for Lang Dingyuan, he seems to have nothing to do in the past two days. He still goes out to the Hu Ben camp early in the morning to train soldiers. He didn't go back to his house to rest until the evening. He Ning himself seems to be no longer in Lang's house. We found another of his foothold, madam, where do you guess it is?

"Where?" Huanwen asked.

A strange expression appeared on Zhou Yanting's face, "Just near the palace, two streets away, there is a Zhouji tea house. Our people once saw He Ning stay overnight in Zhouji tea house, but He Ning left again the next morning."

"Zhou Ji Tea House, near the palace..." Huanxuan's eyes turned, "Does this mean that He Ning's next action is about to be launched against the palace?"

Zhou Yanting nodded with admiration, "The last general guessed the same, because from Zhou Ji Tea House, he could go straight to the side door of the palace without a cup of tea. In addition, the last general also learned another important situation. The imperial guards responsible for arresting the assassins that night were found out from the small mill under the slope after Li Ren jumped off the cliff. A imprisoned woman brought her back to the palace. There were bold villagers in Mill Village who secretly peeped out of their windows. They all said that the guards of the forbidden army took away an old woman in black. The last general dared to speculate whether it was the lame woman you had ever seen who was taken to the capital all the way by He Ning?

Huanying looked at Zhou Yanting and frowned and said, "But why did He Ning trapped Ning Tanger in the mill? Unless he deliberately asked the guards of the forbidden army to bring Ning Tanger back to the palace, he could not explain this coincidence at all."
