Chapter 44：

"Princess, he has gone in." Not far away, someone reported to Feng Zhao.

When Feng Zhao heard this, the corners of his lips could not help but hook up.

Very good, help her every day.

Originally Ming Tan didn't respond, she thought it was a problem with the medicine, but when someone reported that Di Nianci had a reaction, she was a little puzzled, Ming Tan obviously drank the glass of wine, why did Di Nianci respond?

She didn't know what went wrong during this period, but after she panicked, she thought that dealing with Zhai Nianci was not bad, and Zhai Nianci's brain was much easier to deal with than Ming Tan who never slipped away from the crowd.

But she never expected that just when she was planning to let Ming Tan go, the opportunity came to her. Without even thinking about it, she was knocked unconscious and sent to be with Zhai Nianci.

She just wanted to see, now that the lustful man had entered the house, after today, how would these two people still flaunt themselves, and what face would they have to survive in the world!

"ignition."

Feng Zhao's eyes were extremely bright, and there was a little madness in his arrogance.

She had already said, let them wait and see.

If she is not having a good time, then no one should think about it.

Before the beginning of the day, the sun was scorching at noon. The concierge of Duke Pingguo's mansion greeted people for a long time, and finally had time to relax. Just as he was about to take a nap, there was the gradual sound of horseshoes outside.

Jiang Xu let go of the reins and got off his horse.

"May I ask who you are?" The concierge was suppressed by his aura for a moment, and after recovering, he quickly bowed and asked, "Today, the Fuchu is holding an elegant fair, and you need an invitation to enter. Can you...can you show the invitation?" ?”

Jiang Xu didn't talk nonsense, and threw him a jade token.

The concierge read a few words, took the jade tablet, saw the word "Dingbei" on it, and was startled, his legs suddenly became weak: "Ding...His Royal Highness Dingbei?" He hurriedly opened the door, stepped aside, "You little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so please forgive me, my lord, please come here, please!"

Jiang Xu walked straight into the mansion.

The concierge wiped the fresh sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly asked someone to lead the distinguished guests to the polo field, and at the same time, another person stepped up to pass the news inside, His Royal Highness Dingbei King has come down!

When Jiang Xu was brought to the polo field, the atmosphere on the field was very lively.

Zhang Huaiyu stepped forward to meet him in high spirits, and did not forget to pat him on the shoulder, teasing: "His Royal Highness King Dingbei is here, it is really rare." What did he think of, "But you didn't go to Qingzhou, you came back so quickly, Is it over?"

Jiang Xu said "um", and his eyes swept around the field.

Zhang Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about it, let's have a game?"

Jiang Xu didn't answer, but asked instead: "Where is Shu Jingran?"

"It seems that the great talent from Su invited him to go boating and compose poems. It's been a while since he went there. Wait, I'll find someone to call him over."

"No need," Jiang Xu pondered for a while, "Where is the princess?"

"Princess?" Zhang Huaiyu didn't expect him to ask this, and was a little surprised at the moment, "I can't see that you care about your wife. It's really different after getting married."

Zhang Huaiyu understood Jiang Xu's patience very well. Before Jiang Xu got impatient, he replied seriously: "But I really don't know where your little princess is. Don't worry, ask my sister."

But before Zhang Huaiyu went to find Zhang Hanmiao, Zhang Hanmiao came over in a panic.

She had never seen Jiang Xu before, and she didn't recognize that this was His Royal Highness Dingbei Wang, so her eyes turned red, and she asked Zhang Huaiyu for help in a low voice: "Second brother, help me quickly, Princess Dingbei and County Lord Yongle are gone. !"

No matter how capable she was, she was only a teenage girl, and it was very rare for such a major event not to pass out immediately.

As soon as she agreed to make arrangements, she was still too flustered, and she didn't dare to go to her aunt, so she only dared to ask her cousin who loved her very much for help.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Hanmiao was taken aback. She didn't expect that before her cousin was surprised, it was another man who asked the question first, but how did he hear it?

"Say it again."

His voice was extremely cold, and there was a kind of flustering uncertainty.

Zhang Hanmiao swallowed unconsciously, and responded tremblingly, "Ding... Princess Dingbei and County Lord Yongle are gone."

Zhang Hanmiao didn't think it was a big deal when the maid of Yongle county lord came to tell her that her county lord had disappeared.

The owner of Yongle County is the same as the owner of Fengzhao County. He is a very unlikable owner. He speaks with a gun and a stick, leaving no room for every sentence. Maybe he went somewhere by himself.

But not long after, there was an accident of falling into the water by the lake. What was even more surprising than falling into the water was that the maidservant next to Princess Dingbei went to save the person, but Princess Dingbei disappeared when she turned around. The concubine's maid was also knocked out and hid in the grass!

Only then did Zhang Hanmiao panic, and hurriedly suppressed the matter to keep silent, and at the same time ordered his servants to search nearby.

I heard that Princess Dingbei's maidservant is very skilled, at least half a moment before and after saving someone, and only half a moment away, such an accident happened, no one would believe it, not to mention that she came prepared!

On the other side, the third wife of the Pingguo Mansion was chatting and laughing with a group of wives and ladies, and was about to go to the stage to watch the new play scheduled by the Fuchun troupe.

In the middle of the journey, someone suddenly said "Oh", pointed to a spot in the southeast corner, and said, "There is smoke coming out of that end, is it water?"

Everyone hurriedly approached there.

"Go... let's go to the water!"

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

Some of the servants have already found out and are rushing to tell them. The third wife immediately went forward and arrested someone and asked, "Where is the water?"

"Cuiyuan, go back to Third Wife, a room in Cuiyuan is flooded! Also... someone saw that Jiang Yanghou went there."

Hearing this, the third wife turned pale with shock.

Cuiyuan is not far from the lake, but it belongs to the inner courtyard, and outsiders should not enter it. But the third wife didn't know what to think of, and her face was a little pale.

Cuiyuan used to be the residence of a certain aunt of their third bedroom. That aunt had committed adultery with the housekeeper, and she quietly opened a small door in a remote part of the garden, leading to the outer courtyard.

Later, when the incident happened, the aunt and the salesman in charge beat the troublemaker to death. There are no people living in Cuiyuan on weekdays, and it is only used as a temporary residence for the distant guests in the mansion when they come to the mansion.

Someone saw Marquis Jiang Yang going there...

She hurriedly ordered people to find Mrs. Ping Guogong, and another person went to fetch water to put out the fire.

In fact, the fire was not that big when it was discovered, but the fire looked very strange. It didn't burn the main house, but it was surrounded by the main house, surrounded by four sides, which looked a little scary.

When a group of ladies and ladies approached, most of the water was stopped, and the servants rushed to the fire in an orderly manner, only thick smoke billowed, a little choking.

"Help!"

"Come and save me!"

"Help! Help!"

…

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, there was actually a man and a woman calling for help in the main room? This! It must be that people saw thick smoke inside and didn't know that the fire hadn't reached the main room, so they were so anxious.

The third wife's complexion also changed again and again, afraid that people would misunderstand that the house in the Pingguo Mansion was dirty, so she hurriedly explained: "Although this Cuiyuan belongs to the inner courtyard, it is usually uninhabited, and for some reason, there are people here. There is a small door leading to the outer courtyard." She pointed to the previously sealed small door in a remote place, "This is the one, it has always been sealed here, and it looks like it was opened from the outside."

Everyone understands.

Is this sneaking into someone else's inner courtyard? That man seems to be Jiang Yanghou, who is that woman?

Someone in the crowd said: "I was by the lake just now, and it seems that someone is looking for Princess Dingbei and County Lord Yongle."

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

These two.

It's unlikely, is it?

Just as the servants were carrying water to fight the remaining flames, Mrs. Ping Guo came in a hurry, and when everyone was whispering, suddenly a black figure seemed to move away, at a speed that everyone couldn't react to. , Straight into the garden.

Jiang Xu looked indifferent, surrounded by thick smoke, but he seemed not to be affected by anything, stepped on the steps, and kicked open the gate of the main house of Cuiyuan.

There is still an unfinished aftertaste of fascination in the house.

Jiang Yanghou's clothes were half undressed, as if he was frightened by the sudden fire, he hid under the table with his head in his arms.

Seeing that the door was suddenly opened, he crawled out from under the table, but just as he stood up tremblingly, Jiang Xu caught a glimpse of a woman curled up in the corner. his neck.

"Let... let go... let go..."

Jiang Yanghou's complexion gradually turned pale, his eyes protruded a little, his expression was extremely painful, his voice was incomplete, and his breath gradually weakened.

Jiang Xu stared straight at the figure in the corner, her clothes were messy and she was huddled into a ball. He couldn't help but fold his hands, there was a very slight sound of bones breaking, Jiang Yanghou's face froze, and there was no more movement, Jiang Xu seemed to be throwing something dirty, and casually threw away the lifeless man in his hands.

He wanted to walk towards the group in the corner, but before he could take a step, he suddenly discovered something, and the steps he didn't take soon turned into a question: "Where is my concubine?"

Standing at the bottom of the steps outside the house, Ming Tan shook her head, and really wanted to say "I'm here", but she didn't know whether it was because she was too frightened or something, but she couldn't make a sound for a long time.

On the contrary, Jiang Xu seemed to have a feeling, and subconsciously turned around.

The sun at daytime was westward, falling on her jade white brocade skirt, and also falling on her slightly embarrassed and dusty face, it seemed to cast a very gentle arc on her, looking from a distance, delicate and charming.

He walked down the steps step by step, walked up to Ming Tan, and looked down at her.

The fire was extinguished, and everyone entered the courtyard. Mrs. Ping Guo sent her maid into the main room, and Zhai Nianci's maid, who was very anxious, also entered the house.

"County Master! County Master, what's wrong with you!"

Everyone was surprised.

It really is the Yongle county lord.

The maid sent by Mrs. Pingguo entered the house, and she noticed Jiang Yanghou lying on the ground first, and she couldn't help but screamed: "Ah! Jiang, Jiang Yanghou! Lord Hou is dead!"

When everyone heard the words, they glanced at Yama in the courtyard from a distance of three zhang.

Ming Tan was also startled, his throat a little dry, and he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xu.

The Marquis of Jiangyang was greatly favored by the Holy Grace and died in full view of the public. How should he explain to the Holy Majesty?

Jiang Xu seemed to know what she was worried about, so he raised his hand subconsciously, wiped the dust on her face with his rough fingertips, and said indifferently: "If you die, you will die, what will happen to me."
