The rebirth of the first daughter to chase after the husband

Chapter 44: Stalking Shen Lili

"Tell me, who is the purpose of this King of Nanyang going to Yueqing Temple?"

NATO Wang Mengjing is standing by the edge of the fish pond, feeding the fish frolicking in the water.

Ye Pu thought for a moment, and replied: "Go back to your lord, this Nanyang king went to Yueqing Temple just to curry favor with Mrs. Shen."

"Oh?" Meng Jing turned his head curiously, handed the bowl in his hand to a court lady, and then walked towards the pavilion: "Why not Mrs. Gongsun?"

"Mrs. Gongsun is the wife of the prime minister, and the prime minister is the one who supports the prince. The king of Nanyang will never be so stupid as to curry favor with Mrs. Gongsun."

The relationship between Lu Chuan and Meng Jing has long been spread among the court, so everyone is worried that the crown prince will fall into Meng Jing's hands.

"Is there any news about King Zhenbei?"

In Meng Jing's eyes, the biggest opponent is Meng Xuan, not Meng Wanzhou and the others.

"King Zhenbei doesn't seem to have a close relationship with the Major General. When the Major General saw King Zhenbei, his tone was very unfriendly."

"It seems that he didn't handle it well internally. I hope he doesn't let me down."

Meng Jing stared intently at the teacup in his hand.

A breeze blew by, blowing the hair on both sides of him, and he closed his eyes slightly, feeling the tenderness brought by waiting.

"I hope everything will go smoothly as the prime minister said."

Leqing Temple

"Master Hou, it's not good."

Bai Ji ran in in a panic. Lu Chaoyan was afraid that Bai Ji would disturb his mother, so he walked a little further before asking, "Why are you so panicked?"

"There is a pile of corpses outside Yueqing Temple, and the origin is unknown."

"Where is the body now?"

"The army has been brought to the nearby Yizhuang."

"Take me there quickly."

Bai Ji took Lu Chaoyan to Yizhuang quickly, where several soldiers guarded.

"Join the Marquis."

"What about people?"

"Inside, Lord Hou please."

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they could smell the stench of corpses. Lu Chaoyan and the others covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs in disgust.

The corpses were placed in a room on the west side of Yizhuang, and they were all covered with a white cloth. Lu Chaoyan pulled one piece away casually, and saw that these people died in strange ways, and the wounds were not caused by swords.

"These wounds were not caused by swords, but it is possible to find out what weapons were caused by them?"

The man in Yizhuang who was in charge of examining the corpse came over and said, "Master Hou, Wu Zuo just looked at it and said that he was injured by a knife. The knife is deadly, so there is no hesitation."

"Can you see anything else?"

"I didn't hear or see anything nearby. We checked the scene and guessed that these people came out of the teahouse opposite the Yueqing Temple. Traces were found on the roof. As for the mysterious person who killed these people, there was no evidence." Half an idea."

"Send some more people to investigate, and we must find out these people."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

"and many more."

Lu Chaoyan stopped the man who was about to leave, looked at the yard outside the house, and said, "How long will it take to deal with the corpse in Yizhuang?"

The man saw Lu Chaoyan looking out of the house and the rancid smell that was spreading with the wind, and immediately replied: "Master Hou, there are corpses here that have not been claimed, and they have been placed in Yizhuang."

"This smell spreads so fast, how can this be a place for people to stay? No one claimed it, why didn't they bury it quickly? Could it be that the court can't afford this little money?"

"Master Hou, calm down! It's just that this is an order from above, I dare not disobey!"

The moment he saw Lu Chaoyan getting angry, the man was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and his body was also shaking.

The person above?

Lu Chaoyan looked at Bai Ji, who immediately said, "This area is under the jurisdiction of King Nanyang."

"It seems that the King of Nanyang is so careless. The election of the crown prince is imminent, but he is making trouble at this juncture. Hmph, interesting."

Lu Chaoyan taunted Meng Wanzhou that the crown prince was about to be elected. Not only were there no proper arrangements within the area under his jurisdiction, but so many lives were caused, this might be even more distant from the position of crown prince.

"Clean up the corpse, write a letter and send it to the prime minister."

"My subordinate understands."

After Lu Chaoyan finished arranging things, he was on his way to Yueqing Temple.

Walking on the road, he suddenly felt that someone was following him, and Bai Ji also noticed it. The two looked at each other, and walked tacitly around the corner in front of them.

Seeing that the two separated, the people following behind immediately split up and chased after them.

Lu Chaoyan quickly hid behind the front wall, preparing to ambush here, catching that person by surprise.

Hearing the footsteps of that person approaching, Lu Chaoyan raised his vigilance. When he judged that the person was about to show his face, he quickly turned around and appeared in front of the person. He was ready to make a move, but when he saw the face of the person coming, he put it down.

"Miss Shen?!"

Lu Chaoyan looked at Shen Lili with a frown, but Shen Lili slapped him, and said very unhappy: "I just don't want to see me! You run so fast!"

"I'm sorry... I didn't know it was Miss Shen." Lu Chaoyan felt baffled. It was obvious that she was following him secretly, but now it was his own fault.

"Then you know it's me, are you still running?" Shen Lili looked at him with a smile on his face.

Shen Lili always asked questions that he didn't know how to answer, which made the shy Lu Chaoyan blush.

Seeing that he was unresponsive and blushing, Shen Lili couldn't help but joked: "You probably like Miss Ben, so you blushed when you saw me!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Lili waved her small fist shyly and hit Lu Chaoyan's chest. What she thought was a gentle fist, but in Lu Chaoyan's eyes, it was a powerful attack. He grabbed her hand in pain.

And this scene happened to be seen by Bai Ji and Xiang Chun who were looking for them.

"Lu Chaoyan!!! You are taking advantage of my lady again while I'm not here! I'm going to kill you!!"

Xiang Toon waved his fist and was about to beat Lu Chaoyan, but Bai Ji immediately grabbed Xiang Toon and dragged her away: "Master Hou, take your time! Don't worry!"

Seeing that Bai Ji had misunderstood, Lu Chaoyan quickly let go of Shen Lili's hand, but Shen Lili deliberately pretended to be wronged, and fell into Lu Chaoyan's arms, acting coquettishly.

"Why are you so shy!" Shen Lili patted Lu Chaoyan's chest lightly with her small hand.

Such a bold move by her frightened Lu Chaoyan, he immediately pushed her away, his face was flushed and he didn't dare to look up, and said in a hurried tone: "Miss Shen, please respect yourself!"

"What are you afraid of? At worst, I will marry you!"

Seeing Lu Chaoyan's shy and nervous look made Shen Lili feel even more amused, and continued to tease him.

"Miss Shen is still in her boudoir, how can she say such a thing."

"If you marry me, it's over!"

Lu Chaoyan felt that Shen Lili was simply unreasonable, and turned his head to leave, but Shen Lili immediately ran over and hugged him from behind.

"Don't go!"

Lu Chaoyan felt hot all over, and wanted to get Shen Lili to hold his hand, but no matter what he did, it was useless.

"Shen Lili, you are the daughter of the richest man, following me will only harm you."

"I'm not afraid! When I go back, I'll come to propose marriage! I don't care about you! You must marry me!"
