"The Crown Prince of Canglan Kingdom and the Second Prince of Dongshuo Kingdom are about to leave for home tomorrow. Please be quick and pay close attention to the movements of the Second Prince. If you have anything to do, come and report to me. Furthermore, you can send a reliable person to the capital to find someone. Settling in a secluded place temporarily, I will send someone to contact you. As for the manpower issue, you can arrange it."
Hong Luan looked at Shui Lianyue's serious expression. Her beautiful face was filled with a look of calmness and self-reliance. She didn't expect that her master trusted her so much. The person who usually had contact with Yan Jinge was not Hongying. , and she only had a one-time relationship with this master.
"Yes, Master, Hong Luan will live up to his mission." Hong Luan knelt on the ground with a firm look on her face. Shui Lianyue sighed softly and raised her hand to help her up.
"With my current situation, I can't give you anything, but if one day I can escape unscathed, I will live up to your loyalty."
Hong Luan stared blankly at that beautiful face, a surge of heat surged into her heart, and her eyes suddenly turned red, "Master's words are serious. Master treats us like reborn parents. It is an honor for our subordinates to serve for him. The master does not need to be too modest."[
"Without further delay, I'm going back as soon as possible. I'll leave everything to you." Shui Lianyue looked at Hongluan again, turned around and hurried out the door.
Seeing Han City closing, Shui Lianyue left the city without stopping, whipping the horse's back hard with the whip in her hand. The bumps along the way made her a little exhausted. Although she suffered from internal injuries, such an excellent person She was not willing to let go of the opportunity to go out of the city easily.
Along the way, she looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anything unusual. Until she stepped onto the official road, a strong smell of blood hit her nostrils. She immediately tightened the reins. Under the straw hat, a pair of phoenix eyes held a sharp look. He stared closely at the roadside.
"How do you want to thank me?"
I saw four horses grazing leisurely on the roadside, and the owner of the horse had fallen into a pool of blood. Leng Liuyun slowly walked over from behind the horse, a robe that set off his slender body, and a few strands of black hair. The night wind blew, and the coquettish cheeks showed a lazy look, but the narrow red phoenix eyes contained a faint chill.
"Are you following me?" Shui Lianyue raised her head, frowned and looked at Leng Liuyun and said coldly.
Leng Liuyun curled up his lips and said with a smile: "How do you say it's stalking? I'm protecting you. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid your secret would be discovered by others."
"You", Shui Lianyue glared at Leng Liuyun, stopped looking at him, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and asked lightly: "Are you from Chu Yihua?"
"Yes, it's his person. How about it? You've wrongly blamed me now, right?" Leng Liuyun also looked at the corpse on the ground, turned around and walked slowly to Shui Lianyue, "These four people have extraordinary skills. , it can be seen that Chu Yihua is by no means a kind person. I am afraid that he has already known about your leaving the city this time, which means that you need to be more vigilant."
Shui Lianyue frowned and looked at Leng Liuyun coldly, and snorted softly: "It seems that you have known about Chu Yihua and Baili Yiyi's collusion for a long time? But you are still here, a cat crying like a mouse, do you think I will Thank you?"
Leng Liuyun was startled for a moment, then gently patted Heiju's neck, and said with a devilish smile: "Yes, I do know, but I have enough ability to protect you, so what's the use of telling you?"
Shui Lianyue rolled her eyes at Leng Liuyun, and suddenly raised her hand and whipped the horse's back with the whip. The black horse's hooves were flying, and it quickly passed by Leng Liuyun, "Don't think I will be grateful to you."
A cold voice echoed in the air. Leng Liuyun looked at Shui Lianyue's back as he rode away. He just smiled lazily, suppressed the cunning look in his eyes, and raised his hand towards the air. He snapped his fingers and saw two people wearing red tights emerging from the dense forest behind him.
"What are your orders, Master?" The two of them knelt on one knee and lowered their heads respectfully.
Leng Liuyun pointed at the four corpses under the horses' hooves and said calmly: "Take care of them." As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed a horse and got on it, galloping in the opposite direction.
It's still late at night, and there are people walking in twos and threes along the gorgeous streets of the capital. The small merchants and vendors have packed up their stalls and rushed home. Except for the brightly lit restaurant, there is no coldness at all, but it adds a touch of drunkenness and glamour.
Shui Lianyue led the black horse to the wooden peg in front of the Chu family's shop and tied it. A white shadow shuttled through the winding alley, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the backyard of Shui Mansion.
While she still had some time, she wanted to visit her mother and talk to Shui Muyao about her relationship with Prince Xiang Chen Yixuan.
She came to Lanxiang Pavilion with familiarity, and jumped into the courtyard. She saw that her mother's house was still lit with weak candlelight. She held her breath and walked quietly to the bottom of her mother's house, but she heard My mother couldn’t help but sigh.[
"Madam, you don't have to blame yourself anymore. The young lady has the blessing of the young lady. Now that she has married into the prince's palace, what's the use of sighing now? It's only hurting her body." Qiaocui looked around The lady looked a little haggard and couldn't help but comfort her.
"I know that Yue'er is unwilling to marry King Yu. Even if I agree, what can I do? The decree granting the marriage was passed down by the late emperor. However, I have been unfortunate in my life, but I don't want Yue'er to follow my old path. I thought that King Yu was not close to women, and that in the future there would be only Yue'er in the palace. Compared with those men with three wives and four concubines, if she worked hard, she would be happy, but she didn't know that King Yu already had another woman."
"Madam, why do you need to listen to Meng Qiuhe? You also believe what she said. If King Yu had had another woman, wouldn't he have accepted a concubine? Now there is still only one young lady in the palace. You, too? Go to bed early, don't think about those "messy" things, you will be hurting yourself and secretly feeling nervous."
The fourth lady let out a long sigh and allowed Qiaocui to help her change her clothes. After a while, the candlelight in the room was extinguished, leaving her alone in the room to sigh.
Shui Lianyue had already flown out of Lanxiang Pavilion. Her eyes were wet, but she tried her best to endure it. In this world, her mother was the only one who treated her sincerely. Unfortunately, she did not have any power or ability. Otherwise, how could her mother always be there for her? She was hurt and sad.
After arriving at the rockery not far from Muyan Pavilion, Shui Lianyue frowned and looked over. None of the old ladies guarding the door were in front of her, and there seemed to be no candlelight in Muyan Pavilion. She thought for a moment, and ducked to the door. , but I didn’t expect the door to be locked. No wonder there was no old lady guarding it.
She looked around cautiously, and when she saw nothing unusual, she jumped in.
Before they even entered the house, they smelled a fishy smell. It could be seen that since she got married, the life of Shui Muyao and her daughter was even worse than before. They had to deal with eating, drinking, and diarrhea here.
Holding her breath, she walked gently towards the direction of the house. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard the sound of soft footsteps beside her, which seemed to be in a panic.
"Who is it? Who is over there?" Shui Lianyue looked in the direction of the voice and asked softly with a raised eyebrow.
The sound of footsteps in her ears disappeared. Shui Lianyue raised her feet and walked towards the direction of the sound. Suddenly, a cold kitchen knife struck her face. She quickly jumped back to avoid it. At the same time, Feng Mu He looked over sharply, but was stunned at the moment.
"Shui Muyao, are you crazy? It's me." Shui Lianyue frowned slightly and scolded in a low voice as she looked at the woman with fluffy black hair and frightened black eyes in front of her by the moonlight.
