Chapter 242 The Temple

When Qiang San'er went out, Mu Xiyao was about to write and wash, when she saw Mo Lan's face pale, and just opened the curtain and rushed into the room without even passing it in time.

"Master, there is news from the mansion that Madam fainted!"

With a snap, Mu Xiyao stood upright while supporting the desk, and because she was too eager, she overturned the seat behind her. He didn't bother to ask in detail, he just said "prepare the car" in a hurry, and he was already out of the study in a hurry.

The mansion in the east of the city immediately became busy because of the side concubine's words. The two nuns were called by Mu Xiyao to explain carefully that they only need to take care of the two young ones at all times, and don't need to take care of the others. He also called Zong Zhenglin to stay behind as guards, and transferred all the people to Chengqing Chengyou's courtyard to guard. The more hectic the time, the more careful you need to be.

"Master, the frame is ready and ready to go at any time."

"Leave the mansion immediately, and Mo Lan will follow. Hui Lan stays in the mansion, and it will be more convenient to get a message." Putting on the cloak, Mu Xiyao was busy tying the cloak, and walked straight to the gate of the courtyard without stopping. I don't want to delay for a moment.

Here, Mu Xiyao was in a hurry to rush to Mu's residence, and the hidden guard left behind by Zong Zhenglin was also anxiously rushing to deliver a letter to Helian's residence.

It's about the side concubine, and the usual way of weighing the priorities is totally inaccurate. If you really want to be stupidly classified into critical levels like ordinary secret reports, you will just wait to be cleaned up by His Highness, and you will practice again when you return to Xinzhou.

In Helian's mansion, Zong Zhenglin was wearing a jet-black plain robe, and the stubble on his chin hadn't been taken care of for three days, and his hair was showing a little. Helian Minmin's complexion beside him was frighteningly pale, with a faint blue tinge in the pale. The person was also very thin, and the filial piety clothes that still fit on the day of encoffining looked empty and unbearable now.

"If you're tired, take a break." Zong Zhenglin frowned as he glanced down at her. How long can it last like this? If you are too sick to get out of bed and delay the funeral, you are truly unfilial.

"Even if I'm resting, my mind is in a panic. I would rather stay here, and my heart will feel better after all. Please miss your Highness more." Helian Minmin was reluctant to leave, and Zong Zhenglin looked at her. If you are stubborn, you will no longer be reluctant.

On the opposite side, Helian Weirui saw the two of them standing together, treating them with respect on the surface, but they were actually quite unfamiliar. Especially when He Lian Minmin took the initiative to snuggle several times, Zong Zhenglin avoided her without a trace, and he felt very happy in his heart.

She did not get it after all her scheming, and the woman on the opposite side just enjoyed it, but it was just a vain name. Comparing the two, I am afraid that Helian Minmin's heart is suffering far more than her.

But it is said that Qiang San'er went to the prince's mansion to find the chief steward, but unexpectedly, the manager Tian was not at the mansion. After asking the person, I got the exact news, saying that the chief steward wanted to arrange for the abbot of Anguo Temple to open the altar. At this moment, he was busy at Helian's residence and did not return home for two days.

Qiang San'er had no choice but to rush to Helian's mansion again after thinking about his master's words that he must be handed over to the chief steward. After finally reaching the door, he was stopped by someone, saying that he needs to pass through before he can enter.

Just standing outside the door in such a cold weather and waiting for half a quarter of an hour, finally waiting for someone to come. Looking up, it was not Guanshi Tian, ​​but Commander Wei who came out in person.

"My lord, Master Yao sent a young man to deliver a letter to the chief steward. He deliberately explained that he should avoid other people and show it to His Highness privately."

Wei Zhen nodded, Master Yao instructed that no one would dare to tamper with it. Since it was said in private, I found a suitable opportunity and submitted it to His Highness.

"The senior manager is now inseparable from himself. If you can trust me, I will let you pass it on. It's the same."

Qiang San'er hesitated to hand in the letter, Mr. Wei is His Highness's close attendant, so it should be fine, right?

Something happened here, Qiang San'er bowed and said goodbye, and hurried back to report. Wei Zhen turned around and was about to enter the door, but she inadvertently glanced at the hidden guard pretending to be a peddler across the street from the corner of her eye. The "old man" made three or five gestures to him in an extremely secretive way, and when the interpretation was clear, Wei Zhen's eyelids twitched, and he screamed in his heart. How could he dare to delay, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he just trotted to find His Highness to report the news.

His Highness issued repeated orders, the person arrested the day before yesterday had not yet obtained the result of torture, so at this time, Master Yao must not leave the compound. But now the incident happened suddenly, Master Yao not only went out alone with a maid, but also left all the guards in the house to look after the two young masters. Although there were female guards secretly following her, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen.

The day before yesterday, I found all those deadly things on Zhuangzi. After looking at them, His Highness's face was so gloomy that he seemed to want to swallow people alive. Wei Zhen rubbed the sweat on her forehead, hoping that that person would be safe and sound, and that no accidents would happen.

Just now Wei Zhen came out of the hall in a hurry, and was noticed by someone with a heart, so he kept his eyes on him secretly. All the people in Helian's house are servants of their own family, so they are very handy in summoning them.

It's a pity that those who peeped in the dark had no ability to discover Zong Zhenglin's hidden guards. They saw a well-dressed young man whispering to Lord Wei, and then handing over a letter from his sleeve. After the two of them had left, they asked Yin Liang to inquire about the porter, and found out that it was the famous Concubine Mu of His Highness Six's residence who sent someone to ask for an audience.

This is really unscrupulous. Hearing that the Mu family is very vicious, she never wanted to compete for favor and even wait for the princess and concubine's family to come out in their first seven years. His Highness just didn't go back for three or two days, so he couldn't bear the loneliness and came to the door... This Concubine Mu was even more unbearable than the rumors said.

Secretly, everyone rushed to reply to their master, thinking that if they got such a big news, a reward of silver would be indispensable.

Seeing that Wei Zhen rushed to report, Zong Zhenglin knew that things had changed. He got up and took people to the yard, only to hear him say that Mu Xiyao had left the house privately, and immediately his face darkened. Hearing that Yu Shi is ill, no one can guess that Mu Xiyao is anxious. Comparing Helian Minmin's current situation, His Highness the Sixth Highness felt a little distressed with partiality.

"Let Tian Fushan stay and help the concubine take care of the funeral. If there is still a need, let him handle it by himself." Zong Zhenglin returned to the house and left a sentence with Helian Minmin, "I have to leave the house for something", not to persuade her to stay Given the opportunity, he took Wei Zhen away.

Having stayed in Helian Mansion for two days, with his status as a prince, he has already done his best. I originally planned to go back tomorrow morning, but now it is half a day earlier, it is okay.

Helian Minmin had a bad feeling when Zhen entered the house in self-defense. Now that it really came true, I was not too disappointed in my heart. Perhaps he already understood that Zong Zhenglin was giving her favor by being willing to concede for two days. In other words, he thinks that the two days of respecting each other like a guest are enough for the world to see clearly that the concubine of the Helian family is still respected by him.

The reason... Helian Minmin coldly pursed the corners of her lips.

"Master." Nanny Feng frowned, with obvious anger in her eyes. "The one who met Lord Wei was the young servant Hu Qiang San'er in the side concubine's courtyard."

Is this the "important matter" in his mouth? Helian Minmin leaned on the back of the chair, feeling extremely tired.

Helian Weirui, who also got the news, suddenly clenched her fingers holding the silk handkerchief. At this time, the Mu family sent someone over... It was definitely not as simple as fighting for favor.

However, it doesn't matter if it is or not.

Everyone in the world loves to be lively, and if they scratch someone's painful foot, they just want to step on it hard. If Mu Xiyao has this handle in her hands, don't expect to be able to get out of it unscathed.

After whispering a few words to the servant girl, Helian Weirui slowly got up, and took small steps to sit beside Helian Minmin.

"Sister can still sit still at this time? My sister also has to say admiration. No wonder in the entire Helian family, there are no fewer than five girls, and only sister can be chosen by the side of His Royal Highness Sixth Prince, and become a legitimate prince and concubine. .For someone as small-hearted as my sister, being a concubine is hard work."

Helian Weirui picked up the silk handkerchief and fiddled with it repeatedly, her face was full of sorrow, but her words were full of pickpockets.

"Thinking that the Mu family dared to pull people away in front of the mother's memorial tablet, so that the mother would die in peace? If the mother knew about the situation of the elder sister in the prince's mansion, I am afraid that even the reincarnation will not be at ease. of."

There was scarlet in the depths of Helian Weirui's eyes. Since she was a child, she has been raised under someone else's name. Her biological mother and the people who took care of her in the mansion all agreed that she died of dystocia. Only when the nanny was seriously ill when she was three years old, when she was dying, she confusedly took her as a mother, held her hand, and kept saying that she was useless and could not avenge her.

Helian Weirui didn't realize until then that her biological mother was actually tricked by the benevolent aunt on the face and drugged into the labor-inducing soup. This caused the mother to give birth prematurely and meet with blood collapse, and finally lost her life in a daze.

Now it's her kind aunt's turn to get retribution and pay off the debt with her life. Even above the mourning hall, how could Helian Weirui not applaud secretly in her heart when she saw how her prostitute, who was so protective of her eyes, suffered so much from being wronged by others.

Helian Minmin clasped the armrest, only to feel that his eyes were in a trance. The sentence of "do not rest in peace", hit the untouchable wound in her heart, the exhaustion and pain of the past few days, coupled with the stimulation of Helian Weirui's mercilessness, she was powerless, she just slipped and almost fell to the ground.

"Sister!" Helian Weirui exclaimed, struggling to support her shoulders, calling for the imperial doctor quickly.

Nanny Feng hated Helian Weirui, who was staring at the cat and the mouse, and wished she could expose her hypocrisy. Although she was standing behind her master, she couldn't hear the whispers between the two very clearly. But the master had a look on his face just now, it was clearly because he heard what the second young lady said, it was very bad, and then he couldn't stand it and fell down.

When people outside heard that the princess was so distraught that she fainted, they couldn't help sighing, she is really a filial woman, and the relationship between mother and child is deep.

"Second Miss, are you not afraid of retribution for treating your master like this?" Nanny Feng took Helian Minmin and stroked her forehead in distress, her eyes filled with hatred.

Before others arrived, Helian Weirui covered her mouth and sneered. "You old slave, what face do you have to mention the word retribution? The good deeds you did with that woman that day, she deserves it today, and maybe someday it will be your retribution!" After speaking, she cast a gloomy glance at her, and sat up straight. , flipping through the embroidered handkerchief.

Nanny Feng's eyes trembled, a pair of wrinkled hands almost lost the stability of supporting Helian Minmin in front of her.

His eyes flicked across Helianweirui's hands playing with the silk handkerchief, how did he realize at this time that the embroidery on it was actually Aunt Lou's favorite Yuye Jiangli back then!

Could it be...Facing the funeral memorial tablet in the room, Nanny Feng felt a chill penetrate into her bone marrow, and couldn't get rid of it.
