Unlike previous days when the hall was packed with guests, the North Tower today was quiet and solemn.
Both the shopkeeper and the handyman were a little nervous, because today their legendary boss was finally coming to the North Tower.
From the beginning of the morning, even Mr. Zhu, who always meditated in his room, was standing in the atrium and waiting.
The atmosphere was condensed, and no one knew what the arrival of this big boss meant.
However, looking at Mr. Zhu's pale face, they saw one thing clearly.
There must be something wrong. And the reason why the big boss appears is because something is going to be unlucky.
Mr. Zhu stood in the atrium with some anxiety. This morning, the Lord sent someone to deliver a message.
Moreover, Amei didn't know where she had gone. If she made the Lord angry again, she wouldn't be able to defend him.
After waiting for a long time, Mr. Zhu did not see his master.
As time passed, Mr. Zhu's heart gradually sank.
Originally, she still had a little bit of luck in her heart. Maybe the Lord was just doing a routine interrogation this time, but now it seems that the matter is much more serious.
"You all go down. The North Tower will not entertain any guests today. You should also go back and rest for a day. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
Mr. Zhu is still Mr. Zhu. Even though he understands what he is facing, he still has no fear at all.
Although the servants didn't understand, they were well-behaved. In an instant, Mr. Zhu was the only one left in the huge North Tower.
Lifting up his skirt, Mr. Zhu knelt on the floor of the atrium.
The face under the veil already showed a bit of fear.
Thinking carefully about what I have done recently, there are no omissions. But I don’t know why the Lord is so angry.
My Lord, I have always been a punctual person.
Now that he has not shown up yet, it only means one thing. That is that the Lord is extremely angry. She is the one responsible in the North Tower. Therefore, the Lord will only punish her.
"Do you still know the rules of the Four Holy Guards?"
Mr. Zhu just knelt down when a cold shout reached his ears from nowhere.
His body shook slightly, Master Zhu immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"I know I was wrong, but I still ask the Lord to punish me."
Before he could finish his words, the person flew out in an instant.
With a 'clang' sound, that soft body actually smashed the stairs into pieces.
"Since you know it, why do you do it knowingly?"
< br> A cold voice came from above the head.
Mr. Zhu raised his head, his throat couldn't help but vomited out a mouthful of hot blood.
But there was still awe in his eyes as he looked at the man in black in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Zhuzhu, has never done anything that is unworthy of Your Majesty. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the half-dead Mr. Zhu in front of him, Long Tianyu didn't even have the slightest pity. There was suppressed rage in his eyes. If the subordinate in front of him hadn't been carefully trained by him, he would have died long ago.
However, when she thought about it, Lin Mengya almost died because of that woman.
The anger in his heart was overwhelming, and no one who had anything to do with that woman could escape his punishment.
"Where's Mr. Mei? Don't tell me, you don't even know the whereabouts of your biological sister. If that's the case, I see your position as commander, so I won't do anything."
Mr. Zhu was surprised, but he soon felt relieved.
There was a bit of sadness in her eyes, and she knew that this matter could be hidden from anyone, but it could not be hidden from the Lord in front of her.
With difficulty, he got up from the ground. He kowtowed respectfully to Long Tianyu before saying
"It's my fault that I concealed this matter. However, my sister has not appeared in the building since a few days ago. I really don't know her whereabouts."
Long Tianyu is not a person who cares about people's lives. He actually knows Zhu's temperament.
If it weren't for her unwavering loyalty to herself, then now, like her sister, she would be a damned person.
"Your sister died. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she died in a small alley in the capital, but -"
When the conversation changed, Long Tianyu's eyes looked a little frightened to Mr. Zhu.
"She wanted to assassinate Princess Yu before she died. You have to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter."
Cold sweat instantly soaked Mr. Zhu's back.
The veil had slipped down unknowingly, revealing a delicate little face that was completely different from Mr. Mei's. I don't know if it was because of fear, shock, or because of Long Tianyu's kick just now.
His body was shaking, as if he would faint in the next second.
"Sister, no, this is impossible! My lord, although my sister has not joined the Four Holy Guards, she is still loyal to the lord. The last time she entered the palace, my sister has made a contribution. Where did she come from?
How dare you stab the princess?"
Mr. Zhu stared wide
With her eyes closed, she now seemed to have difficulty accepting the facts before her.
Although her biological sister was born in a religious school, she was a good, clean and self-respecting girl.
When I was in the North Tower, I lived in seclusion every day, which was considered self-respect. Why did you have the courage to assassinate the princess?
Suddenly, a small detail popped into her mind.
She remembered that the Lord once said that her sister once carried her on her back to deliver medicine to the prince.
Could it be that--
God, this is simply wishful thinking! ??
"Now, your sister is dead. I don't have to pursue other matters. However, you have to remember it carefully. If you name any traitor in Beilou, you, the commander, will receive the punishment yourself.
.Also, the order is sent to all the forces belonging to the Four Holy Guards in the capital. If they see the princess, they must protect her secretly. The reason why your sister died was not just because she assassinated the princess. What happened last time she entered the palace
, you must have noticed why the news leaked out. Your sister's body is parked in Yi Zhuang outside the city. What to do is your own business. "
Long Tianyu turned his eyes coldly, but his tone was still heartfelt. But he still left some room for Young Master Zhu.
"Yes, the bamboo kowtows to thank the Lord for not killing me."
Mr. Zhu was stunned on the spot. She had been adopted by her predecessor, the Suzaku Guard, since she was a child.
If she hadn't unexpectedly discovered that Mei was her sister a few years ago, she would not have taken the risk of being punished by her master to take her sister with her.
But now, my sister almost killed her for her own selfish desires.
My heart has cooled down.
"Someone is coming——"
In the atrium, Long Tianyu's figure had long since disappeared without a trace.
Only those who were guarding outside dared to poke their heads in.
Mr. Zhu had already turned around, and no one could see how distressed and distressed his delicate and pale face was.
"Your Majesty, I heard from the officers and soldiers outside the city that there was a village outside the city that suddenly caught fire today. All the corpses parked there were burned beyond recognition."
In Long Tianyu's study, Lin Kui stood with his hands down, reporting to Long Tianyu.
"Oh, I see."
With the book of war in hand, Long Tianyu looked as if he had never heard these words before.
Needless to say, he also knew that it was made of bamboo.
The woman's body must also be among them.
But that's fine. To put it bluntly, Mei is just a pawn. I believe the real mastermind behind this is still unscathed. "How is the princess? Have you rested now?"
Long Tianyu never cared about insignificant people.
Then, he asked about Lin Mengya's situation.
"This - my subordinates don't know much about it. However, Liuxinyuan is quite lively."
Speaking of this, Lin Kui's face looked a little strange.
Normally he wouldn't feel it, but in the month since the princess left, not to mention the prince, even a servant like him felt very awkward.
Speaking of which, it's like a child who is clingy and feels bored when we are together, but when we are no longer together, we still feel empty.
Although the princess's master is a lady, he is also an eccentric master. With her around, he will never feel bored at any time.
"What's going on again? Come on, let's go take a look."
The military book in his hand was thrown onto the desk with ease.
Seeing Long Tianyu's excited expression, Lin Kui was embarrassed to say anything.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them used Qinggong. Lightly and deftly, they ran up the wall of Liuxinyuan.
Inside, it was very lively with all the warblers and swallows.
However, even Long Tianyu couldn't tell what his princess was doing.
"You guys, move this over there. Yes, it's the northwest corner of the yard. Be careful not to damage it."
Bai Zhi was very happy and acted as on-site conductor in the yard.
Chirping, he directed the guards and boys in the courtyard who temporarily acted as strong men.
Her face was red, but she still looked very excited. She had found something suitable for her to do.
"Master, you just came back, why don't you take a good rest for a day. Anyway, it won't hurt if you do this later, right?"
Bai Ji stayed in Lin Mengya's role obediently and said rather puzzledly.
In the afternoon, the master, who had just woken up from his nap, started to decorate the yard again.
You know, every plant and tree in Liuxin Courtyard was carefully decorated by Qinghu and Young Master Yu. Even the palace is not as exquisite and appropriate as this small courtyard.
She didn't understand why the princess had to bother with these things.
"Silly girl, how can you welcome the new year if you don't decorate it with new decorations? There is a new atmosphere in the new year, isn't it?"
While Lin Mengya was drinking fragrant tea, she gave Bai Ji an ambiguous answer.
However, the sparkle in those beautiful eyes gave this matter a layer of mystery.
