Chapter 578 Assassination
"Oh?" Chu Junlan was rounded with beautiful eyes in surprise and said incredible, "A month ago? All the masters of the royal palace went?"
"Yes." Mao Quan lowered his head and said that it was.
Chu Junlan found it incredible.
The female family members of the dignified Prince's Mansion were invited so easily, and they were still here for a month. How could this be a guest? It was obviously putting people under house arrest.
"I didn't expect that the dignified King of Huai'an is so 'ready' now doing things. I can say who can stay for the rest of the house, and who will stay for the rest of the house." Chu Junlan walked towards the front hall again.
Maoquan followed Chu Junlan and lowered his head and said, "No, the villain was really surprised. The King of Huai'an has always been cautious and gentle in his work over the years. When he acted like this, he felt that the King of Huai'an seemed to have changed his personal life."
Chu Junlan sat down in the main seat and nodded, "Since that's the case, where is the prince now? I should go to pay homage to the prince."
Maoquan's face was extremely sad: "If you go back to the princess, the prince has disappeared for many days. It has been more than two months since he saw the prince return home."
Chu Junlan's heart was shocked when he heard this. Two months? Then Prince Gong was most likely to have "disappeared" after sending a letter to the capital.
How could a prince disappear if he was gone? Could it be that he was doing something important? Or did Prince Gong encounter any unexpected problems?
Chu Junlan felt more and more that the water in Huaijing was not only deep, but also very muddy.
But she didn't want to say anything bad in plain way to cause panic among the people in the mansion. She nodded slightly and asked again: "What's the situation in the city now? Have the families started operating here?"
Mao Quan seemed to have unexpectedly thought Chu Junlan would ask this question, and was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "When I return to the princess, many families have more or less invested in the construction of palaces. Now the power of Huaijing is complicated."
Chu Junlan pondered for a moment: "What is the relationship between the Cai family and our family now? After all, the royal family and the Cai family have in-laws."
"Return to the princess, even the affectionate villain cannot know these things."
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows. This person was cautious. It seemed that she would need to check many things in person.
"Forget it, since that's the case, I'll go to the inner house to settle it first."
"Yes, the villain has notified the in-house manager Madam Yuan, I will send you there." Maoquan bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
Chu Junlan obviously saw Maoquan's relief and shook his head in a funny way.
When he arrived in front of the Chuhua Gate, Maoquan stepped down respectfully.
A woman in green who was in her sixties and with a thin and kind face, smiling and saluting her in front of the hanging flower door.
"I, Yuan, I pay my respects to the prince's concubine."
"Madam Yuan is not a gift." Chu Junlan personally helped the person up and smiled at the other servants.
The servants all first met Chu Junlan, and at this moment they were looking at her with no trace.
Chu Junlan didn't care and asked about the arrangements in Madam Yuan's mansion now, so she didn't make any changes and returned to Linlang Garden where she lived with Xiao Xu.
At this time, Zi Yuan and Zi Yan had packed up the luggage they brought. Ming'er brought a black lacquer tray, and the white porcelain lid on it was warm milk.
"Crown Princess, you should eat a cup of milk first to warm up your body."
Chu Junlan nodded with a smile, held the cover with his bare hands and took a bite, and it was warmed from his mouth to his heart.
"Can your residence be settled?"
"All have been settled." Zi Yan smiled, "The mansion is spacious and there are few people in our yard, so I naturally chose a good place to live."
Zi Yuan also smiled: "Just now, if we can allow the three of us to be so picky and choose, the prince will come in in the future, and the mansion will also arrange for maids and little girls to come in according to regulations. Then it will not be like this."
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue at Zi Yuan.
Chu Junlan smiled and felt more relaxed.
The situation in Huaijing is even more complicated than what Xiao Xu said. Not only are the forces fighting, but even the prince is not sure where he is going. The two princesses and other families are temporarily under house arrest by the King of Huai'an.
It is no secret that she came to the city today, but she doesn't know what arrangements there will be for the Huai'an King next. No matter what, she should prepare in advance.
After Chu Junlan used the meal, he took a short break with his clothes. Silver frost charcoal was lit in the charcoal stove in the house, and Shi Yuan carefully placed soup in her quilt.
Chu Junlan slept very heavily. I don’t know how long he had slept. Chu Junlan suddenly felt an inexplicable aura approaching. The alert she had developed over the years made her suddenly open her eyes, staring at the light pink tent tent, and vaguely heard the sound of tiles on the roof being gently stepped by.
A sudden excitement in his heart, Chu Junlan immediately turned over and held the dagger in his hand.
Zi Yan and Zi Yuan were dozing off in the Arhat bed outside. Seeing that Chu Junlan was only wearing a snow-white middle robe, holding a dagger and leaning his ears with a serious expression on his face, both of them were so scared that they woke up.
"The Prince's Concubine..." Zi Yuan lowered her voice.
Chu Junlan immediately made a booing gesture, and his eyes signaled that they were hiding in the house, so he flew out of the door, jumped, put on the beam of the house, and then jumped onto the roof.
At this time, the night fell, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the warm light of the lanterns in the courtyard fell behind Chu Junlan, and the snow-white figure wearing only thin middle clothes was coated with a layer of soft light, which also made the more than ten people in front of Chu Junlan clearly see clearly.
"It's you." Chu Junlan looked at the other person as the leader and understood in his heart. This man was tall and in his early thirties, and had a memory that she could not forget. He clearly remembered that this man was the guard beside Xiao Yunchang, the second son of the King of Huai'an.
"What advice do you have for sneaking into the royal palace?" Chu Junlan sneered and looked at the dozen people up and down. "I haven't seen a fool like you who don't know how to cover them."
Everyone immediately looked dark, and the leader was even more angry. He waved the steel knife and said, "Go ahead, take this girl!"
"yes!"
A dozen people rushed forward immediately.
Chu Junlan pulled out the dagger with a "clang" sound, rushed towards him, and immediately fought with these people.
The guards patrolling the night in the mansion, Huo Yeqing and others who were resting in the outer courtyard, anxiously put on their clothes and rushed into the mansion.
Huo Yeqing's anxious face turned blue. The prince handed over the prince's concubine to him. If he was hurt, how could he have the face to see his master in the future?
It was only when Huo Yeqing got closer that he realized that his worries were really unnecessary. More than ten other people were not opponents in front of Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan was like an old man playing with a naughty child, making these ten people go around, one of which was left as if it was already wooden stakes and was motionless, while the remaining few people were still resisting forcefully.
