Chapter 1856

When Chen Ling returned to the mansion in the evening, he finally learned the ins and outs of the matter from the butler, and he couldn't help but sighed, regretting that he left in a hurry.

At that time, his mood was so ups and downs that it was difficult to calm down, and he completely forgot that his wife and housekeeper didn't know about Hong Mingshou and Su Chen's late-night visit.

At that time, it was just dawn, and he hurried out, only thinking about Hong Mingshou's safety, so remember to explain?

It was just a moment of negligence that caused such a big oolong, and even killed a little maid directly.

Chen Ling was also depressed for a while, even though the little maid was a member of his family, she signed a death contract. You can leave it to the master.

However, his wife is from a family background, she is gentle and generous, and never treats her servants harshly.

No one in Bianjing City boasted. Xuanfu envoy Chen Ling's wife is truly a bodhisattva.

Chen Ling paused slightly when he thought of the dead little maid. Now that Madam has got the news, she must be very sad.

"How is Madam now? Did you say anything?"

Standing at the fork in the road leading to the inner courtyard, Chen Ling looked into the distance, wishing to comfort him.

The housekeeper's face turned bitter, and he replied grumpily: "Madam is very sad. Pearl has been with Madam for many years. Suddenly she disappeared like this. Madam can't accept it."

Chen Ling sighed, there were four maidservants beside Madam, Pearl was only six years old when she first came here, and she always followed Madam.

He knows his wife very well, and he is very affectionate. Let alone the maid who is with him, even if a potted flower withers, he will feel sad for a while.

Now that I know that the maid I valued and loved is dead, how can I bear it?

Chen Ling walked towards the inner courtyard, but stopped after walking a few steps. He hesitated for a long time looking at the arches of the inner courtyard, and finally heaved a long sigh, and finally walked towards the east courtyard.

Hong Mingshou regretted and annoyed, but slowly calmed down. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper notified Chen Ling's wife, who immediately sent someone to take back the little maid's body, but Su Chen refused.

"What else do you want?"

Hong Mingshou glared at Su Chen unbearably. Now that he has been humiliated and died, should he continue with the corpse?

Su Chen glanced at him lightly, his tone unclear, "You seem very angry."

Hong Mingshou sneered and said, "She's just a little girl, she's already dead. What's the use of you staying? Don't you want to let her go after she's dead?"

Su Chen turned around indifferently, "Of course it works."

Hong Mingshou angrily reprimanded: "It's not enough for you to humiliate her, do you still want her to be uneasy after death?"

Su Chen kept walking, and flicked his fingers back lightly. Hong Mingshou only felt a strong force coming towards him. He was so shocked that he had no time to react, and his body had already been thrown backwards.

Hong Mingshou flew out more than ten meters and hit the ground fiercely. After a long time, he staggered up against the wall and barely stood still. When he looked up, Su Chen was nowhere to be seen.

He was furious. I felt a fishy sweetness in my throat, and I couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

After clenching and loosening his fist several times, Hong Mingshou finally closed his eyes and leaned against the wall discouraged, without any movement.

When Chen Ling arrived, Hong Mingshou had already stood by the wall for a long time, his legs were already stiff, but the pain in his chest continued, as if it kept reminding him that a life was lost because of him.

"..."

Chen Ling walked up to Hong Mingshou, under the faint lights. The bloodstain on Hong Mingshou's chest was not obvious, only the faint smell of blood in the air.

Hong Mingshou opened his eyes, his eyes were full of pain, "I was wrong, very wrong."

Chen Ling didn't know what to say. In fact, a human life was nothing to people like them, let alone servants in his mansion.

The reason why Hong Mingshou is in pain is because Pearl doesn't need to die. He blamed himself for Pearl's death.

Chen Ling didn't know how to persuade him, because after all, no one expected that Su Chen would fall in love with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid.

Up until now, including Chen Ling, everyone in the mansion believed that Pearl had encountered an accident because Su Chen had taken a fancy to him and would rather die than follow.

Su Chen didn't explain, of course it was because no one had ever asked, but everyone seemed to think that was the truth.

As the night darkened, Hong Mingshou closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the emotions in his eyes had been concealed.

He said before that he would pay the little maid with her life. It's just that he was angry in his heart, Su Chen's methods were cruel, and he didn't even intend to let go after seeing someone die.

"Sister-in-law, I hope you will plead guilty on my behalf." Hong Mingshou calmed down, feeling guilty in his heart, "I am inconvenient, so I cannot personally plead guilty to my sister-in-law."

Chen Ling patted his arm. "Don't think too much, it's just an accident."

Hong Mingshou shook his head and smiled wryly, "If I hadn't come here rashly, such an accident would not have happened."

"Important matters," Chen Ling said, "I know what you're thinking, the Emperor is about to leave, so it's inevitable to be impatient."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The situation has changed now. The Mongolian tribe sent back news that the person was found, but the emperor is about to leave soon, and we are running out of time."

"Have you found someone?"

Hong Mingshou straightened his body instantly.

Chen Ling nodded, and said in a low voice, "Yes, he is already on his way, and it will take about half a month."

"When will the emperor return to the palace?"

Hong Mingshou immediately asked.

"The third day of next month. There are only ten days left."

Chen Lingdao.

Now the opportunity is once in a thousand years, none of them want to miss it, but the plan can't keep up with the changes, the emperor is about to leave, and the key person of the plan has not arrived yet, what should we do?

Both Chen Ling and Hong Mingshou knew that this might be the closest they got to the emperor, if this time was not successful. Maybe they have to wait for the emperor's next private visit in micro-service, no one knows whether the emperor will leave the palace again.

They have waited for too long, and the aimless waiting made everyone feel choked up.

Chen Ling glanced back, "Now we can only take one step at a time. If we act rashly, we may be alerted."

Hong Mingshou was obviously not reconciled. He wanted Chen Ling to take action to delay the emperor's departure, but he had done it once before. If he made another move, the emperor would definitely notice.

"I haven't asked you yet, what happened?"

Chen Ling looked away thoughtfully, and asked softly.

Hong Mingshou hummed suspiciously, looked up, and saw that Chen Ling was asking Su Chen, his face darkened immediately, "This person is useless, I think it's better to forget it."

Chen Ling disagreed, "Don't be impulsive, if he is really the person we are looking for, we have to win him over."

"Bah," Hong Mingshou spit angrily, "Could it be possible to give him a few more women?"
