After Nangong Yue left Yingxue Residence, she went straight back to Bixiaotang.
The sound of bells and the little guy's laughter came from the west corner. Nangong Yue immediately followed the sound and saw that the little guy was playing inside.
Beside the little guy sat a familiar and graceful figure. She was teasing Xiao Yu with a copper bell.
Nangong Yue blinked, smiled and blurted out: "Sister Fei."
Xiao Fei turned her head when she heard the sound, stood up and greeted Nangong Yue: "Sister-in-law."
She stepped forward, handed a few pieces of tissue paper to Nangong Yue, and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, I have read all of these."
Nangong Yue just glanced at it casually and knew that the pieces of paper in Xiao Fei's hand were exactly the ones she had given her before.
She took the pieces of paper full of writing, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and asked Xiao Fei to sit down and talk.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei eagerly and asked in a low voice, "Sister Fei, what do you think?"
However, I still didn’t see any shyness on the little girl’s face.
"Sister-in-law, they are all very good." Xiao Fei said seriously, her black eyes as clear as mountain streams, as cold and bright as the silver moon in the night sky.
"..." Nangong Yue's mouth froze for a moment, and she rubbed her temples almost as if she had a headache.
After a moment, Nangong Yue took one of Xiao Fei's bare hands, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Sister Fei, a woman's life is not easy. She has been bound by three obediences and four virtues since she was a child. After she gets married, Not only should we respect our husbands, we should also be filial to the elders of our husband's family, cook the dishes, manage the inner courtyard, and spread the branches... There is a saying: 'Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.' But in life In less than a hundred years, if a man enters the wrong profession, he can start over, but what about a woman?"
Once a woman marries the wrong man, it will be difficult to look back!
Choosing a son-in-law is a lifelong matter.
Xiao Fei listened intently to Nangong Yue's words, but she still looked confused.
She knew that her sister-in-law was doing it for her own good. After pondering for a moment, her expression became more serious and said: "Sister-in-law, I think the people you picked for me are good."
She is by no means perfunctory, she also knows that marriage is a matter of life. Since her sister-in-law gave her these lists last month, she has read them countless times and now knows them by heart.
Because of this, she knew that these young men were all among the best, no matter in terms of talent, character, family background, etc., they were all one-of-a-kind, making them the best sons-in-law.
From each piece of paper, she could feel how much thought her sister-in-law put into it.
Because of this, she would say that they are all very good, really very good!
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue without blinking, trying to convey her feelings to her.
Outside the window, a breeze blew by, making the branches and leaves rustle. A few wisps of breeze blew into the room, gently brushing on Xiao Fei's cheeks, messing up her hair on the temples, making her look more beautiful. A bit stubborn and smart.
Facing Xiao Fei's pure and clear eyes, Nangong Yue felt funny, helpless, and a little moved at the same time.
Her sister Fei still makes her feel so distressed!
After Nangong Yue thought for a while, he then said: "Sister Fei, there are so many men in the world, but just being a good match and a good person is not enough to create a good relationship. Whether two people get along depends on fate, otherwise , no matter how good he is, no matter how innocent his wealth is, the couple just respect each other as guests..."
Xiao Fei blinked, still vaguely understanding.
Her years of education told him that husband and wife only need to respect each other as guests, but the sister-in-law obviously meant that this was not enough.
So what should couples be like?
Xiao Fei naturally thought of Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue. The most exemplary couple in her mind were the eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Thinking about how the elder brother and sister-in-law get along with each other on weekdays, Xiao Fei seemed to have caught something out of the confusion and understood a little bit. What she sees now is only the four young masters in the text. She still doesn’t know what kind of temperament they have and whether they can be related to her, so...
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Fei looked up at Nangong Yue thoughtfully and said, "I want to meet these four young masters before making a decision."
So good. Nangong Yue's lips curled up slightly, she looked at Xiao Fei gently, and responded with a smile.
It seems that I have to prepare another blind date banquet for Sister Fei, but now three of the four young masters have gone with the army, so this matter still has to wait until January to arrange it...
"Giggle..."
The little guy's clear laughter sounded in the room again, attracting the attention of the two people.
I didn’t know when there was a pink plum in the little guy’s right hand, and he staggered towards the two of them, smiling happily.
"Mom...Mother!" The little guy wanted to run before he learned how to walk, which made Silk Mother who was following him trembling. Until the little grandson walked in front of Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue supported him. Under his creaking nest, Silk Lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The little guy eagerly sent the pink plum to Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue went to pick it up with a smile, but he refused to let go, waving and shouting "Ahhh".
Nangong Yue was confused by him, but Xiao Fei, who was on the sidelines, understood clearly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, brother Yu wants to tie your hairpin for you." After saying this, Xiao Fei smiled broadly. He praised Xiao Yu, "Our brother Yu is so obedient and filial!"
Xiao Fei walked over specially, grabbed the little guy's chubby little fist and helped him insert the plum blossom into Nangong Yue's hair.
The little guy looked at his mother and seemed very satisfied, and finally smiled again. Nangong Yue couldn't help but bow down and kiss him on the cheek.
The little guy finished his work and walked back. After a while, he directed Silk Girl to take another pink plum from the vase on the high table in the corner. This time he walked towards Xiao Fei and helped her again. She also had a flower hairpin.
Xiao Fei felt as if her heart had turned into water, making ripples in circles. She also kissed the little guy on the face and praised her little nephew again and again.
A pot of silver frost charcoal is burning in the house, which is as warm as the gentle spring day.
The afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, and night fell in Luoyue City as usual. At night, the weather suddenly became much cooler.
Little Xiao Yu, who was tired from playing, went to bed early. The night was quiet, and Nangong Yue and Huamei were in the small study, flipping through the account books sent from the shop and the village during this period.
After looking at it for more than half an hour, Nangong Yue raised her eyes slightly tiredly and rubbed her eyebrows. An urgent sound of curtain lifting happened to sound, causing Nangong Yue to subconsciously raise her eyes to look
Baihui arrived suddenly, Juanxiu's face showed a rare solemnity, and even her steps seemed a bit messy. Even Huamei noticed her strangeness and looked at each other in confusion.
"Prince Princess, Butler Zhu sent word that the clothes in the dungeon were rescued." Baihui saluted and reported the report straight to the point.
This unexpected news caused a moment of silence in the small study, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, unable to hide her surprise, and asked: "What's going on?"
Ever since she took Chen Yi off, she had locked him up in the dungeon of Bixiaotang, planning to wait for Xiao Yi to come back in the next year before disposing of him. She didn’t expect that Chen Yi would be rescued!
Bixiao Hall has always been heavily guarded, let alone the dungeon. Since she and Xiao Yi came back, there has never been such trouble in the past few years...
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue pursed her lips into a straight line, feeling surprised and uncertain in her heart.
Baihui hurriedly replied: "Hui Shizi, I said that someone broke into the dungeon quietly tonight, but the clothes were missing."
That means he doesn’t know the identity of the other party... Nangong Yue frowned, stood up, and ordered in a deep voice: "Baihui, Haitang, you two come with me and take a look."
Hearing this, Lily and Haitang couldn't help but glance at each other quickly, hesitating slightly. This thief is definitely a very brave man. He even dared to break into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and even broke through the dungeon to take the person away. If the thief hasn’t left yet...
Lily and Haitang were wary, but they still agreed in unison.
At the same time, Huamei neatly put a thick cloak on Nangong Yue, and then the master and servant quickly walked out of the house and headed to the outer courtyard.
It was already half past midnight, and it was pitch dark outside. Baihui and Haitang each held an octagonal palace lantern in their hands, and the dim light illuminated the way forward...
The dungeon is located in the northeast corner of the outer courtyard of Bixiaotang. On the surface, it seems to be just an abandoned yard. Because one year, a big tree in the yard was struck by lightning and the fallen tree crown crushed the house. The yard was deserted. The servants in the mansion felt it was unlucky and rarely came here on weekdays.
At this moment, there is a lot of noise in the area.
Zhu Xing, Ren Zinan and several guards were also in the yard. The yard was illuminated by torches, sizzling, the flames were burning and jumping, showing a little restlessness, and the air was filled with thick blood. Smell, as soon as you enter the yard, the smell of blood hits your face.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but frown, and quickly glanced around the yard. The pools of blood on the bluestone floor were so red that they were dazzling.
Nangong Yue's eyes paused on the blood for a moment, and her fists clenched in her sleeves unconsciously.
She is a doctor. Even if she did not see the corpse with her own eyes, from the amount of blood loss on the ground, she can roughly judge that at least three or four people died here...
Thinking about it, a cold light flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and the gentle temperament around her became fierce at this moment.
Zhu Xing was a little surprised when he saw Nangong Yue coming. Worried that the mess here would frighten the Crown Princess, he hurried forward and blocked Nangong Yue's view.
"The Crown Princess." Zhu Xing and Ren Zinan clasped their fists together and saluted.
Nangong Yue asked solemnly: "Zhu Xing, how many people have we lost?"
Zhu Xing was startled. The gentle and elegant look of the Crown Princess always made him forget that their Crown Princess was not a spoiled canary. The Crown Princess also experienced many storms when she was in the capital. of...
Now that the Crown Prince is away, they should take the Crown Princess as their guide.
Zhu Xing's expression condensed and he replied in a slightly difficult tone: "Prince Concubine, five people... came and killed our five guards guarding the dungeon."
As he spoke, coldness emitted from both him and Ren Zinan beside him. To them, these guards were not only subordinates, but also brothers.
Nangong Yue closed her eyes and warned: "Care for their families!"
"Yes, Crown Princess." Zhu Xing responded forcefully.
After that, Nangong Yue asked Zhu Xing to take her into the dungeon.
The darkness in the dungeon was much colder than outside. A gust of cold wind blew from bottom to top, and it was so gloomy, as if you were suddenly in an ice cellar.
Zhu Xing, holding a torch, led the way down the stone steps, reminding Nangong Yue to be careful where he steps from time to time. About halfway through the walk, another smell of blood came, getting stronger and stronger... When I walked down the last stone steps, I saw a puddle of wet water on the ground next to a wooden table on the right. bloodstains...
"Prince Princess, please come this way..."
As Zhu Xing spoke, he continued to walk forward until he stopped in front of the third dungeon, pointed to the bottom of the cell door and said: "Prince Princess, look..."
The torch in Zhu Xing's hand moved closer to the direction he pointed. Nangong Yue's eyes suddenly fell on the iron lock on the ground. The iron lock was split into two, and the smooth cut showed that it was made by someone. A sharp tool that can cut through iron like mud with a knife or a sword.
Obviously, the lock must have been broken by someone from outside the cell, and then the cell door was opened.
Zhu Xing also looked at the iron lock and talked about what happened tonight.
About a stick of incense ago, several guards who came to change tonight smelled the smell of blood outside the courtyard, and then discovered four corpses in the courtyard. They died tragically. They were all killed with one knife, and the door to the dungeon was open. Then, the guards in the dungeon were also killed, and the cell where the clothes were kept was empty...
The only thing that can be deduced at present is that Zhang Yi did not escape on his own. Someone should have sneaked into Bixiaotang quietly and killed the four guards outside with lightning speed, too fast to call for help. He then entered the dungeon and killed the last guard, broke the door lock, and rescued Zhang Yi.
While speaking, Zhu Xing's body almost stretched like a taut bow, and the jumping flames of the torch formed a dark and strange shadow on his face, half-light and half-dark, and his eyes were twinkling. With bloodthirsty murderous intent and deep self-blame.
The prince trusted him and handed over the guard of Bixiaotang to him. But now, under his nose, even the dungeon was broken into and robbed!
Thinking about it, Zhu Xing's eyes were covered with a layer of haze.
Not to mention the robbery of the clothes, the most important issue now is that there are major loopholes in the guards of Bixiaotang, which will give some ill-intentioned people an opportunity to let a Even a group of people with unknown origins quietly sneaked into Bixiaotang and did whatever they wanted...
Zhu Xing simply couldn't imagine that if this group of people were not targeting the clothes, but the concubine and grandson... then he would be dead!
Originally, he thought that Bixiaotang's defense was like an iron bucket, water could not be poured in, and needles could not be inserted. It seems that he was too careless!
Who rescued Zhang Yi?
Could it be the remnants of Baiyue? !
The question is how did the remnants of Baiyue sneak into Bixiaotang? !
One question after another appeared in Zhu Xing's mind, and he couldn't answer it for a while.
The top priority is to arrest people first!
Zhu Xing took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then reported: "Prince Concubine, my subordinates have used the Crown Prince's token to mobilize a team of patrol guards to start searching the city. It is now night, the city gate is closed, and the robbery The people walking around must still be in the city!"
After Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, he nodded and said: "Try not to disturb the people. Also, if no one is found before dawn, I will ask the prince to seal the city!"
When he said the last few words, Nangong Yue's tone became sharp and sonorous.
Zhu Xing's eyes lit up, and the anxiety in his eyes subsided a little, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Crown Princess."
He was originally worried that when the city gate opened at dawn, the thief might take the opportunity to escape. Now that the prince's concubine is willing to come forward to ask the prince to seal the city, he will have more confidence to do things.
Without further delay, Zhu Xing hurriedly obeyed the order and left.
At this time, it was already the second watch, and in the dark night, some sharp gongs and drums sounded from time to time in the streets and alleys of the city.
"Boom! Boom!"
The people were about to change their clothes and go to bed, but they found chaotic footsteps coming from outside, and torches illuminated the streets outside as bright as day.
Someone quietly looked out through the cracks in the window and immediately discovered that it was the city guards who were searching for something in the city. Various noisy sounds were mixed together in a loud voice.
For the city guards to put up such a large formation must have caused another big incident. Most of the people suspected that there was another Southern Barbarian spy in the city. They cursed the eighteen generations of Southern Barbarian ancestors in their hearts and were filled with righteous indignation. .
That night, the streets of Luoyue City were noisy. It was even more lively than during the day. How could the people sleep peacefully? Everyone was excited and wanted to go out and help search for the **** Nanman spy, but they were patrolled in the city. The people from Wei persuaded them to retreat...
Until the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the middle of the night, the houses in the city were still brightly lit.
This is destined to be a sleepless night!
The sound of horse hooves and footsteps can be heard all around.
After that, the gongs and drums of the fourth watch also sounded "dong dong"...
Teams of city guards are still working non-stop to expand the search area, but Luoyue City is too big, and so many streets and alleys cannot be searched in a short time.
Seeing the glimmer of dawn lighting up the eastern sky, many people frowned. It was almost dawn, which meant that the city gate was about to open...
"Captain," a young city patrol slowed down his horse and said to a square-faced man in his thirties next to him, "It's almost dawn and we haven't found the person yet. You See if someone can be sent to notify Butler Zhu..."
Before he finished speaking, the captain of the city guard raised his hand to signal him to be silent.
The patrol captain's nose moved, he looked forward thoughtfully, and said, "Xiao Guo, do you smell something?"
The patrolling guard known as "Xiao Guo" was startled and sniffed hard... At this time, a cool breeze in the early morning blew towards him, bringing the smell from the front with him.
"It seems...the smell of blood."
Before Xiao Guo finished speaking, the captain of the patrolling guard had already ridden out, followed immediately by the four patrolling guards behind him. Everyone was vaguely aware of something. There was a trace of expectation and fierceness on his face.
A few horses turned left at the next intersection and entered a small alley. When they galloped to the center of the alley, the captain of the city guard slowed down his horse first.
This alley is very narrow, just big enough for two people to walk side by side. There are no obstructions around, so the view ahead is clear.
In the half-darkness of the alley at dawn, you can see at a glance that at the bottom of the alley, there is a woman in white who was "nailed" to the wall with three daggers. Blood flowed from the wound on her neck to her dress. On the bed, most of the white dress was dyed red.
The orange-red light on the first day shone on her body, making the blood on the white clothes look dazzlingly red...
Even though they were still more than ten feet away, they were sure that this woman was dead.
"Da da..."
The horse's hooves lightly stepped on the ground, and as he got closer, he could clearly see that the woman's once beautiful face had no trace of blood, it was frighteningly white, and her pair of blue eyes that no longer had any luster were wide open. , you can imagine how unwilling and desperate she felt at the moment of her death.
This woman must be the Baiyue person that Butler Zhu mentioned!
The sound of horse hooves all around stopped, and there was a brief silence...
"Quick! Xiao Guo, go and report to Butler Zhu!" the captain of the city guard said hurriedly.
After Xiao Guo responded, he immediately rode away. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away... After a moment, it gradually became louder again, and the messy sound of horse hooves came from far to near...
When Xiao Guo led Zhu Xing and others back to this alley, the sky was already completely bright.
Zhu Xing's sharp eyes stared unblinkingly at the blue-eyed woman who died tragically. He was sure that this woman was Zhang Yi who was rescued from the dungeon of Bixiaotang last night!
I didn’t expect that she would be tortured and killed here!
