Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 136
He held the child in one hand and dragged the wooden stick in the other. His clothes were already soaked in mud and rain, and his wet hair stuck to both sides of his cheeks. He was in a panic.

She threw the wooden stick and walked towards Mrs. Chang step by step, her pale lips trembling slightly.

Chang looked at her, and stepped back unconsciously, "What do you want to do?"

Mrs. He didn't speak, but knelt down in front of her with a thump, and begged in a crying voice: "Madam, I'm sorry for you, but I can't help it, please save this child!"

"Hehe, you almost harmed my child, why should I help you?"

Grabbing her sleeve, He wailed: "Ma'am, I know you have great expectations for this child, but the phoenix's destiny is just a theory of strange powers and gods, how can you easily believe it?"

Chang's temperament is flamboyant, ever since she learned that her baby was born with a phoenix, she has publicized it, telling everyone she meets, for fear that others will not know.

Hearing the voices outside gradually subsiding, He said eagerly: "Madam, I won't let you help me for nothing!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly took out a gray handkerchief from her bosom, and tremblingly handed it to Mrs. Chang.

Chang did not answer, but stared at her vigilantly: "What is this?"

"This is the token of Duke Yu's Mansion, which is the mother clan of the current queen. I will take this jade pendant as the price, and I beg you to save this child!"

Looking at the round and flawless jade pendant, Chang's mind was already thinking about it.

She was born in a merchant family and traveled around with her father in business since she was a child. She could tell at a glance whether the jade pendant that Mrs. He brought out was genuine or not.

The sound of fighting outside the courtyard gradually quieted down as Chang thought about it.

Seeing that she hadn't made a decision, Mrs. He stuffed the jade pendant into her hands, and got up with the child in her arms. Without hesitation, she overturned the candlestick, and the flames fell on the quilt. The dark room suddenly lit up.

"Are you crazy?!" Chang stared at her in astonishment.

He stood there with the child in her arms, with her back facing the fire, her face was gloomy, but her tone revealed a determination to die.

"Madam, please remember that you must not take out that jade pendant unless it is absolutely necessary. I have no way to repay you for today's kindness. I can only repay you in the next life."

Chang stared at her in a daze, watching her gently place the child on the wet quilt.

She said softly: "Ma'am, there is a secret passage behind the closet in your room, take the child and leave quickly."

"how do you know?"

He didn't explain, and stuffed her and the two children into the closet together, "Madam, hurry up!"

Chang's lips parted, but before she could speak, the cabinet door was slammed shut, blocking the scorching fire.

Through the gap, she saw Mrs. He being stabbed through by the black-clothed assassin. She watched the assassin pick up Mrs. He's swaddle that was originally placed on the quilt, and raised the knife with his hand. Before the baby in the swaddle had time to cry, the short period life.

Chang was so frightened that she couldn't help but look at the two children in her arms, tears streaming down her eyes.

The newborn child probably felt the sadness of his mother, frowned, and cried out loudly.

Chang's startled suddenly, joy and fear in her heart, stood up against the wall, stumbled into the dark tunnel.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here"

On a rainy night, a fire burned half of the Qingshan Temple that had survived for a hundred years.

Most of the monks and maidservants died by the sword, but the only ones who died in the fire were Mrs. He and a swaddling baby.

When Jiang Liu found this place, he thought that the He family must have handed over the real Miss Yan's family to the Chang family, and the boy who died in the fire was just a cover.

"My lord, my subordinates think that it is very likely that Mrs. Chang escaped with Miss Yan."

But as soon as he said the words, he felt that something was wrong. If the Chang family really escaped with Miss Yan's family, then why was it never heard that the Ling family had two daughters?
After thinking for a while, Fu Mingjue said: "Go and investigate again, find out all the insiders from back then, and interrogate them one by one."

When Jiang Liu heard about it, he couldn't help being troubled: "My lord, there are very few people who knew about it back then, and most of them were killed by the empress dowager. If I want to find out where Miss Yan's family has gone, I'm afraid I have to ask Mrs. Chang in person. .”

"Since we can find out about Mrs. Chang, do you think others won't be able to find out?"

The queen mother hated the Yan family deeply, if she knew that the Chang family had saved Miss Yan's family back then, she would definitely send someone to get rid of her.

Fu Mingjue smiled sarcastically: "Since Mrs. He died in Qingshan Temple in the end, let's go to Qingshan Temple to investigate, and don't let go of any clues."

"My subordinate understands."

Jiang Liu paused for a moment, then asked again: "My lord, do you want to disclose the information we found to Sun Fuzhi?"

"Not for the time being," Fu Mingjue said, "Let him be more careful in the palace."

"Yes."

The carriage drove slowly on the bluestone slab streets, and stopped before walking far from the palace.

Jiang Liu lifted the curtain and looked along the crowd, and saw that the restaurant in front of him was full of people. When he caught sight of the three big characters "Qianzhen Pavilion", he suddenly realized, turned his head and said to Fu Mingjue, "My lord, today seems to be The opening day of Wangfei Restaurant."

Fu Mingjue tilted his head slightly, glanced at it lightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

Seeing his silence, Jiang Liu was a little embarrassed, and said with a sneering smile: "My lord, do you think we want to join in the show?"

Fu Mingjue sat there firmly, closed his eyes and meditated, and then inexplicably said: "There are 10 taels of silver notes in the drawer."

"Understood, this subordinate will go now!" Jiang Liu understood, happily opened the drawer and saw that there was indeed a stack of bank notes inside.

Here, after the opening ceremony, Ling Youyao walked through the back door and sneaked into the fourth floor of Qianzhen Pavilion.

The fourth floor is a place she specially reserved for herself to settle accounts and read books. A stage is set up on the first floor, next to it is a jewelry shop and a calligraphy and painting studio. Yu quiet.

Ling Youyao looked at the antique study, feeling very satisfied.

"The servants here are all arranged according to your preferences. The servants know that you like to read books now, so they made a special bookshelf for you, and there is a soft place over there."

Green Treasure introduced them one by one, and while speaking, a person hurried in from outside——

"Ma'am, something serious happened!"

Lu Sheng was out of breath from running, and was still holding something in his hand.

Ling Youyao turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Sheng gasped and said, "Ma'am. I was busy entertaining guests in the lobby just now. For some reason, a military master with a knife walked in and stuffed something into my hand without saying a word."

As he spoke, he raised the things in his hand.

Ling Youyao took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp, good guy, it's a full 10 taels of silver!
Who is so generous?

　Xiao Qi looked arrogant: besides me, there is such a rich and powerful?
