In Princess Anning's mansion.
When Ruan Qin learned that she would go up the mountain with several princes and concubines, she immediately asked Lin Chuyu if she would go with her, but she got a negative answer.
"How can Chu Yu not go? Is something wrong?" Ruan Qin was very worried.
Seeing that Ruan Qin was so nervous, Princess Anning asked, "have you sent someone to inquire?"
One side of the mammy said immediately: "the maidservant was going to send someone to inquire about it, but the Runan Palace first sent a message, saying that the reason why the Yongning County leader was not selected was because someone went to the Empress Dowager to say that the Su family is now in a series of funerals. Since the Yongning County leader is also a member of the Su family, it is inconvenient to accompany him. The Empress Dowager did not choose the Yongning County leader."
Ruan Qin asked her, "what about the ten princesses?"
"The ten princesses seem to have caught the cold, so they can't go to this trip." Seeing that she was so worried, Mammy said, "if you don't want to go, you'd better call yourself sick..."
"But the princess said, I must go this trip. She will find a chance to ask the Empress Dowager to point out a marriage for me after the ceremony, so I must show my face in front of the Empress Dowager this time." Ruan Qin said in a sad tone. She knew that her grandmother didn't like her tone, but she couldn't help it.
As for the stiff marriage, the princess had to sigh that she didn't have peace with her grandmother
"Grandma, qin'er doesn't blame you, but qin'er is useless. If qin'er had half of Chu Yu's ability, it would not be like this. " Ruan Qin thought that Lin Chuyu was alone, but she was always calm and calm, as if she was not afraid of anything. She was envious and adored.
"You don't seem to have much to do with her lately?" Princess Anning looks at Ruan Qin.
"Something happened..." Ruan Qin dodged, but Princess Anning knew her best. Seeing this, she only worried about asking her, "is that person coming to you again?"
"No..."
"Qin'er, you have to worry about your grandmother. Do you think he's coming to you again? Is he still pestering you?" Princess Anning was short of breath and coughed directly.
Ruan Qin was so scared that her tears came out. She sat down beside the bed and gave her tea. Then she said, "grandmother, Qin Er is OK. You don't have to worry."
"You..." Princess Anning suddenly saw the injuries on her neck and wrist, and knew that the man must be haunted to the capital. Even though she covered her face and cried out, "what evil have we done to provoke such a wild ghost. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, how could you be killed by him... "
Anning Princess Zhang can't cry, Ruan Qin also holds her and can't cry for herself.
On one side, Mammy Zhang looked at it and wiped the corners of her eyes, but she seemed to think of something.
Mammy Zhang couldn't bear to look at Princess Anning and Ruan Qin's grandparents and grandchildren. In this way, she secretly made up her mind. After lunch, Mammy Zhang took advantage of Princess Anning's lunch break and went out of the house quietly.
Lin Chuyu is still asking people to find out if there is anything wrong with the ceremony. Because of her reputation in the previous life, the Empress Dowager also took her past because of her status as a princess of Chu, but now she has not.
Before the news came back, Lin Chuyu met an unexpected person.
"Miss, would you like to see her?" Autumn back and forth news, I feel strange, long Princess House mammy how can unauthorized out of the house to find Miss here.
Lin Chuyu thought of the scars on Ruan Qin's body from time to time. She continued to turn the book in her hand and said faintly, "I'm free today. Please come in and reply."
"Yes."
After a while, the autumn moon led mother Zhang in.
Mammy Zhang had seen the world before, and she didn't come here formally. Her face was dignified, and she seemed to be making some important decisions.
Lin Chuyu asked her to sit down, and then asked someone to serve her tea. She said with a faint smile, "why did mammy come by herself, but what's wrong with the princess?"
"No, I want to tell you something." Mammy Zhang looked at Lin Chuyu, who seemed gentle and polite, but was always alienated. She struggled in her heart.
Lin Chuyu saw her tangled appearance and told Qiuyue: "you all go down first. I have something to say with Mammy."
Qiuyue immediately took Bai Xue and the other two girls out.
Lin Chuyu also closed the window beside her. Then she looked at mother Zhang and said with a smile, "the illness of the princess Chang is not complicated, but she has been suffering from it for many years. Mother should pay more attention to it."
"Not the long Princess..." Mammy Zhang was tangled about whether she made a sound.
Lin Chuyu's hand holding the teacup did not stop, gently sipped, and then slowly laughed: "if not for the princess, I'm afraid I can't help the others."
"Master of Yongning County, I know I shouldn't come to you, but the eldest princess trusts you very much. She thinks you are smart, and the young lady believes you very much. But the young lady is weak and has to worry that the eldest princess is old. I can't help it, so I come to you. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to help my young lady this time, your great kindness will not be forgotten by your maidservant and the eldest princess! " Mammy Zhang leans forward anxiously and looks at Lin Chuyu with worried eyes.When Lin Chuyu saw that she still refused to tell the whole story, she only said with a smile: "but mammy should know that I am still a princess of subjugation. In Beiyan, I have tried my best to protect myself."
"I know..." Mammy Zhang is still struggling to say something about Ruan Qin, but Lin Chuyu doesn't seem to say that she won't help at all. Then she got up and knelt down solemnly in front of Lin Chuyu, saying: "county master, you don't know what kind of torture our young lady has been suffering."
Lin Chuyu just didn't know, so she had to force her to tell herself. She asked herself to help Ruan Qin when she refused to say anything. She would not watch Ruan Qin die, but she could not ask her to make an umbrella for Ruan Qin with her eyes closed.
Lin Chuyu did not take her words, only slowly tea.
Seeing this, Mammy Zhang finally got up and knelt down in front of Lin Chuyu. She said, "when the eldest princess went to a state in the southwest with the Ruan family, the old man promised Miss Qin to a family. The family was originally a military general, but later the family had a case of human life. The old man did not dare to bend the law for personal gain and sentenced several leaders to decapitation. As a result, the women of the military general's family hanged themselves. "
Lin Chuyu remembers that there was such a thing, but the former Princess Anning died soon after she returned to Beijing, and Ruan Qin also died, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Mammy Zhang saw that she was still silent, so she had to continue: "later, the old man of my family also passed away. The old man and his wife met a robber when they went out of the city, but they were gone, leaving the young lady and the eldest princess to depend on each other. The rest of the general's family originally moved away, but then suddenly a man came out and came to the door with the old master's marriage certificate. He not only humiliated the princess, but also took my young lady... "
Mother Zhang choked up and seemed unable to speak.
Lin Chuyu, looking at her like this, already knew that Ruan Qin was afraid that her innocence would be destroyed. She only asked her, "is that man coming to the capital now?"
"Well. He didn't want to marry my young lady after he ruined her. But from time to time, he would bully my young lady and ask my young lady for money. The eldest princess thought that his family had died because of my old master and was very tolerant of him. The young lady is also afraid that the princess is not healthy and angry. She didn't tell the princess about it
Mammy Zhang's eyes were red. She thought of the man and gnashed her teeth: "if he hadn't avoided the slave every time, the slave would have died with him!"
Lin Chuyu remembers that when Ruan Qin first appeared injured in front of her, she asked if she was going to Xiangshan. At that time, Lin Chuyu suspected that someone was threatening her. Was it the man? But the man has never seen himself, so there should be no reason to do so.
"And recently the man came to the young lady again and threatened her to tell her about it. Now that the ceremony is coming, the ten princesses and you are not on the accompanying list, and other people don't pay attention to the young lady at all. When we go up the mountain this time, the young lady is alone. If that man really causes something wrong, the young lady will die. "
Mammy Zhang choked and said, then looked at Lin Chuyu with a cry: "I know that the county master has no obligation to help my young lady, and I dare not ask the county master to free up his hand to help my young lady. I just ask the county master to give me an idea, how can I help my young lady."
Lin Chuyu looked at her and said in a low voice, "go back first. Since you are going up the mountain tomorrow, I will tell you the way tomorrow."
Mammy Zhang hesitated for a moment, but she had no choice but to kowtow her head and thank her, and then she left.
When she left, Xiao sang, who went outside to find out the news, also came back.
"Yes, miss. It's said that Princess Runan once sent a letter to Princess Anning, saying that the reason why the Empress Dowager didn't choose you is because someone went to the Empress Dowager specially, saying that the Su family's recent funerals are constant and you are not suitable to follow. The Empress Dowager removed you from the list."
Lin Chuyu was alert when she heard the speech.
"Can we find out who is going to say these words to the Empress Dowager?" Lin Chuyu asked again.
Xiao sang nodded: "Uncle tie makes people watch him every day. There are all those people who go in and out of the palace every day. The woman who entered the palace yesterday is only one princess Runan."
"It seems that she has decided to do it." Lin Chuyu thought that after the incident of Cao Guojiu, the Runan Wang couple would give up the idea of killing their adopted daughter to win pity and then lead the army to the battle. Who knows, they still refused to bypass Ruan Qin.
Little sang didn't understand: "what are they going to do?"
"Tomorrow you go up the mountain with sister Qin in disguise. When you find a man who is close to her and dares to hurt her, you will be directly knocked unconscious and tied up." Lin Chuyu said.
Xiao sang responds, and Lin Chuyu calls Qiuyue to prepare a set of maid's clothes.
Xiao sang blinked: "Miss, you don't want to go up the mountain, do you?"
"Of course, but I won't go straight up the mountain. I'll go to Heihu village first." Lin Chuyu said with a smile that she had to find a way to solve so much gunpowder in the black tiger stronghold.
Xiao Sang was even more worried: "it's better for me to follow you to Heihu village first, and then to protect Miss Ruan."
"Don't worry, there's no problem in the black tiger stronghold. You just need to be more careful about Princess Runan." Lin Chuyu thinks that the princess of Runan will definitely fight on the mountain, so in order not to let them succeed in their treachery, they must protect Ruan Qin.As long as Ruan Qin is alive, the king of Runan can't take this excuse to lead the army. If he can't lead the army, he will never be an ordinary man without real power, and he will never be Wei Zhan's arm!
