After escaping marriage, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

Chapter 79 Everyone is dead, what's there to see
On the second day, a notice was posted on the street in the south of the city: Mr. Li was killed by a thief, and he has ordered the arrest of the thief. If you see any suspicious person, please be sure to notify the government.

Suddenly, Li Yuzhi's death became a hot topic in Beijing.

Even the storyteller under the bridge described the murder of Li Yu vividly, as if he was there at the scene.

In the crowd, there were two men in black brocade suits and black veiled hats, which concealed their appearance.

The two turned their heads and looked at each other quietly, then walked out of the crowd and walked to another street.

Walking to a remote backyard, the two looked around and found that no one followed, so they opened the door and walked in quickly.

An old man with a gray beard was sitting in the hall of the house. He saw the two of them out of the corner of his eye. He quickly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

The two bowed and cupped their hands: "Li Yu is really dead. But I don't know who killed him."

Hearing this, the old man showed a gloomy look in his eyes, squinted his eyes, and slapped the table angrily, "You bastard! Such a long-term plan was disrupted by a thief."

All the people in the room did not dare to exhale, and looked at each other with lowered eyes.

The old man was silent for a while, and then ordered in a solemn tone: "Send someone to sneak into the palace to lead the Queen Mother."

One of them murmured, "Lord Sui, now the palace is guarded by heavy troops, it will be very difficult to send people into the palace."

The old man stared at him sharply, "Don't you just let us wait to die? The third prince is still locked up in the Imperial College! This bastard Li Yu is dead again. If you don't send someone there, how can you continue to contact the Queen Mother? You fucking Come and tell me!"

The more he spoke, the more intense the old man's emotions became, and he directly poked the man's head with his hands, his eyes widening.

The man didn't dare to speak, so he could only endure silently.

Now no one dared to speak.

After the old man lost his temper, his mood improved instantly. With one hand behind his back and the other hand stroking his gray beard, his tone softened a little, "If it's really not possible, I can only let the maid next to the Queen Mother be the line." .”

As soon as the words came out, someone immediately responded, "You mean Luwu?"

The old man smiled deeply and nodded.

Hall of Supreme Harmony

When Zhu Ying learned that Li Yu was dead, the cup in her hand fell off and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Lu Wu exclaimed and stepped forward, "Queen Mother, are you alright?"

Zhu Ying's face was a little pale, her eyes were dull, she shook her head slightly, then sat on the stool without saying a word, looking at a peach tree planted in the courtyard.

The peach trees in summer have emerald green leaves, which are very luxuriant. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle.

"Lvwu, clean up, Ai's family is going out of the palace."

Her voice was faint, full of sadness, not as indifferent as usual.

Lu Wu took a careful look at Zhu Ying's expression, and said yes in a low voice.

Just like last time, the two left the palace pretending to be maids of honor, and headed all the way to Li's Mansion.

Zhu Ying looked at the white lantern hanging in Li's house, on which was written the word 'Dian'.

She didn't go in, but stood outside with a sad look on her face.

"Queen, won't you go in?"

Luwu asked softly.

Zhu Ying closed her eyes, suppressed the sadness in her eyes, turned around, and walked the other way, "What are you doing in there. Everyone is dead, so what's there to see."

Luwu turned her head and glanced at Li's mansion with nostalgia, and when she turned her head to look at Zhu Ying again, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes.
