Chapter 8 Xiao Si's visit
The matter was urgent. Murong Qing arranged the affairs of the house that night. Ke Ri packed up early in the morning and took Xiao Si from Murong's house in Heyi and rushed to the imperial capital.
Murong Changtian was finally worried about his son's safety and called four of the most capable bodyguards from the royal palace to follow him. Yue Niang's body was finally better. Originally, she wanted to borrow Murong Qing to be still in the royal palace and feel guilty about the child's affairs. Although she can't be raised for the time being, it's good for the two people to get along more and enhance their relationship. Unexpectedly, Murong Qing's departure suddenly became much faster, which caught her off guard. But there was nothing I could do, so I had to cry and send Murong Qing out of the second door.
Although Princess Nalan has been living in secluded for many years, Murong Qing is at least the eldest son of the Murong family. This time, it is also different from ordinary debriefing. Although she did not come to see her off in person, she also sent Mother Li beside her to send blessings.
As a wife, Aunt Su could only send it to the second door, but let Murong Qi send Murong Qing out of the gate all the way. No matter how reluctant Murong Luo was, he would also pretend to be a brother and brother-in-law, and also pretended to accompany him to say some polite words.
Gong Zhenzhu's relationship with Murong Luo has been heating up rapidly these days. She didn't think much about Murong Qing, but it was not easy to brush the face of her father-in-law and sent it to the second door and said some nice words.
But in a blink of an eye, I saw Yue Niang and Liu Yaer beside her. When I thought of the rumors of the people below, whether it was true or false, I always felt that there was a stone in my heart, which was very unpleasant. It turned out that Murong Qing was in the house, but it was okay. Now that Murong Qing has left the palace, don't blame her for being ruthless in Gong Zhenzhu. Aunt Su is now obviously the heroine of the Murong family, so what? She is just an aunt. She has been used to deal with the aunts in the house since she was a child. What's more, with her status and status of Gong Fu, she still doesn't believe that her little aunt dares to turn upside down with her.
Looking at Yue Niang's eyes, her eyes were a little cold. Yue Niang looked at her, her back was numb and she secretly cried bitterly, but her identity was different, but she dared not go forward to salute.
Who knows that Gong Zhenzhu not only did not appreciate it, but snorted coldly and turned his back and left.
Murong Qing galloped all the way with Xiao Si and four bodyguards. At noon, he arrived at the imperial capital. First, he entered the palace with the imperial edict. Originally, he thought that after seeing the emperor, he still had time and opportunity to visit Chen Kang in Chen's house. Who knew that Zhou Xiong said that because of Chen Kang's affairs, his actions had been delayed, and he was afraid that he would have many dreams at night. In case of any news leaking to Yunyin, Yunyin could no longer be caught off guard and ordered Murong Qing to leave immediately and leave for the destination.
Murong Qing couldn't delay, so he had to order Xiao Si beside him to send the ginseng brought by Murong Changtian to Chen Kang to the royal palace. By the way, he also conveyed Murong Wan's greetings and comforted Chen Kang in the injury.
"The prince set out first. When the slave has seen His Highness, he will set out to chase him!" Xiao Si reluctantly said goodbye to Murong Qing.
Murong Qing stepped on a tall horse, dressed in black gold armor and wearing a helmet. He was thin and weak, but he also added a little heroic posture. He looked down at Xiao Si and nodded secretly.
Although this time was encircled and suppressing, it was carried out secretly for fear of leaking news. Murong Qing could not be honorably given the magnificent water wine given by the emperor like ordinary soldiers who went on an expedition, but Zhou Xiong was still busy and took time to personally send Murong Qing out of the gate of the imperial city.
Murong Qing led a thousand elite guards and galloped all the way to the place guided by Zhou Xiong.
Looking at the back of Murong Qing and his party, Zhou Xiong narrowed his eyes, his lips slightly raised, and a fierce smile on his cheeks.
Xiao Si was entrusted by Murong Qing and went to Chen Wangfu.
It's not the first time for the porter and Xiao Si to deal with him. As soon as they saw Xiao Si, they greeted him enthusiastically: "It's the little fourth brother next to the eldest son. What kind of wind blew you here?"
"This prince heard that His Royal Highness had encountered an assassin in his house, but he went on an expedition today, but he had no time to visit him. As long as he borrowed my hand to greet His Royal Highness!" Xiao Si said with a smile. Seeing that it was the porter who was familiar with him, he finally did not suppress his curiosity. He looked around, pulled the porter aside, frowned and asked suspiciously, "The guard in King Chen's mansion is strict. Why did this assassin run in and hurt His Royal Highness? Your Highness's skills are extraordinary?"
In fact, Xiao Si has this question, which is also to touch the details of the remaining forces on Yunyin's side for Murong Qing. Chen Kang's skills should be comparable to that of Murong Qing, but he was killed in the heavily guarded Chen Wangfu. The opponent must be even more extraordinary. I heard that the assassin was not arrested, which means his own father-in-law. Will the child also be in danger?
The porter led Xiao Si all the way to the inner courtyard. Hearing Xiao Si's question, he also looked around cautiously. He saw that no one else was paying attention and was gossip. He knew that Xiao Si was not an outsider. Then he approached Xiao Si and whispered and said in a low voice, "What kind of assassin is it, but who doesn't know the bodyguard in the inner courtyard? I happened to be working in the porter that day. Only then did I know a little about it. It was only a few days ago that the prince received a righteous daughter, but I didn't know why he actually injured His Royal Highness. Now his life and death are still unknown. Later, he boldly kidnapped the prince. Later, he brought him back for some unknown reasons. However, it was spread that this matter must not be told to others. Even when the court sent someone to ask, it only said that it had entered the assassin and let the assassin run away. Tell me, what's the reason for this?
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Xiao Si was also curious about the adoptive daughter accepted by Prince Chen: "Why did the prince suddenly accept the adoptive daughter?"
"The eldest lady was brought back by Your Highness. I heard from people in the inner courtyard that as soon as the prince saw the eldest lady, he said that he was very similar to the princess. Later, he simply accepted her as a righteous daughter, but if the young lady is a kind person, it's okay, but such ungrateful, the prince is still a treasure! I really don't know what the prince thinks! I don't even care about my own son!"
Xiao Si is even more puzzled! This person, regardless of his own son, prefers a righteous daughter who only knows for a few days?
As he spoke, he went to the inner courtyard. The porter was inconvenient to enter the inner courtyard, but the bodyguard of the second gate of the inner courtyard was sent to pass it.
Only then did Xiao Si notice that the guards of King Chen's Mansion were much stricter than those he had visited before, and he couldn't help thinking about it secretly.
After a while, Xiao Liuzi came out behind the bodyguard. As soon as he saw Xiao Si's figure, he hurriedly greeted him: "It was Xiao Si who came to the door. Please come in quickly! He looked behind Xiao Si again and asked, "Didn't the eldest son come?"
"The prince just received the imperial edict yesterday, he came to the imperial capital early this morning, and now he has set off!"
"Let's go?" Xiao Liuzi screamed, thought of something, and nodded: "Think about it, Your Highness can't go on an expedition. This errand is about to fall on the eldest son, but he is also tired of the eldest son!"
"What on earth happened to Your Highness? As soon as he heard this, he panicked and wanted to come to see it, but the emperor said that the matter was urgent and did not delay him for a moment. The prince had to send me to send a message to His Highness. My eldest lady was talking about His Royal Highness!"
"You didn't let Miss Murong know about Your Highness, did you?" Hearing Xiao Si mention Murong Wan, Xiao Liuzi asked nervously.
"Don't you know the body of our young lady? After winter and illness, I dare not let her know, but what kind of thing is this? I asked the people outside, but they hesitated and didn't make it clear!" Xiao Si was anxious and took Xiao Liuzi's hand to ask.
"It's a long story. Do you remember that the last time I went to visit the eldest son at Murong's house with Your Highness, Your Highness suddenly took me away in a hurry?"
"Remember! You left without even leaving dinner. What does that have to do with Your Highness's attack?
"That day, Your Highness was looking for someone, so he resigned from the eldest son in a panic."
"Who is so important?"
"Hey!" Xiao Liuzi sighed and then continued to say, "Speaking of which, although I don't know that person, you should not be strange!"
Xiao Si is becoming more and more confused and curious.
"Your Highness said that her name is Lin Yi, and she used to be the girl serving the young lady in your house..."
"Wait, what did you say? Are you sure that man's name is really Lin Yi?" Lin Yi has been missing for more than half a year, but he suddenly heard the news that she was still alive. Xiao Si looked at Xiao Liuzi unbelievably and rubbed his ears hard, as if he had just heard something wrong.
"When she found her, she didn't seem to remember anything, but Her Royal Highness insisted that she was the person he was looking for, and regardless of whether others wanted to or not, she brought her back to the house. On the surface, she said that she was a girl. As a result, she was not only served by a girl, but also lived alone in a yard. I thought that our highness did not miss it. As for your young lady, what do you think about her? Later, the prince accepted her as a righteous daughter, and I was so relieved for Miss Murong!" However, after Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, there was a trace of hatred in his eyes.
"You mean, the person who stabbed Your Highness is Lin Yi!" Among many people, he is the first person to know Lin Yi. Although he doesn't have much contact with him at ordinary times, he also knows about Lin Yi's character. In the past, his relationship with Chen Wangshizi was also good, and even if Lin Yi really had the motivation to start, Chen Kang's skills are extraordinary. How can Lin Yi, a weak woman be so easy? What about hurt Chen Kang? And is it still in danger? What's more, since the prince of Chen has the whereabouts of Lin Yi and knows that his son misses Lin Yicheng, why don't he tell him to know?
