The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 348 Chaos (Part [-])

At this time, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and dozens of strong guards in armor and holding sharp knives rushed in.

Immediately afterwards, Iron Lady ran in with a group of stout servants holding hammers. Seeing that the guards were already in place, Iron Lady heaved a sigh of relief, and led the servants to wait under the veranda, waiting for Xiao Nan's order .

"The princess!"

The captain of the guard rushed to the front, seeing Xiao Nan leisurely half lying on the couch, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a wave of his hand, dozens of guards scattered and surrounded Hou Junjun and her few subordinates .

Hou Junjun's face was pale, he didn't know whether it was the pain from the wound on his arm, or he was frightened by the group of murderous guards in front of him, his lips moved a few times, he tried to force a smile, and said to Xiao Nan: "Qiao, Qiao Mu, you , what are you doing?"

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Miss He Lan, what were you doing just now?"

Hou Junjun endured the severe pain of the wound, turned his head away from the gurgling blood, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Qiao, Qiao Mu, what, just now, just now I was joking with you."

Xu Shi finally thought of a reasonable excuse, Junjun Hou's words became smoother and smoother, and his expression seemed to be persuaded by his own words, "Before, Aunt also said that you are bored at home all day and have no fun, so I, I thought about giving it to you." You made an innocuous joke. It’s just that I didn’t expect that you actually took it seriously, and even hurt me by mistake—”

Speaking of this, Hou Junjun's pupils shrank suddenly, and his injured arm also felt extremely painful, and he cursed inwardly: Damn Xiao, when did he practice such a move, and he was accurate and hated at the same time.

Lord Hou Jun had no doubts at all, if Xiao Nan wanted her life, then the copper coin would never be stuck on her arm, but on her neck vein.

However, thinking of this point, Hou Junjun boldly speculated that perhaps, Xiao Nan just wanted to warn her, rather than really wanting her life.

What's more, Xiao Nan was afraid of the power behind her, and he didn't dare to fall out with that person until the critical moment, so he showed mercy.

Guessing this, Hou Junjun's flustered heart gradually calmed down, and the lies in her mouth became more and more fluent. Finally, she pouted pretending to be wronged, and complained: "Qiao Mu, you are still the same as before. The temper is even hotter, and you do it without waiting for others to tell the truth, really, really not enough friends."

Yuzan and Yuzhu were shocked when they saw that Junjun Hou could change his face in an instant and uttered such a bunch of lies that turned black and white. They were not very far apart and looked at each other.

And those dozens of guards were also a little dumbfounded, standing there looking at each other, and lowered the sharp blade raised in their hands a little bit.

Especially the captain of the guard, there are ten thousand mud horses running wildly in his heart: Nani?Calling them in hastily, is it a joke?

Come on, you think you are the King of Zhou You, how dare you play the feudal lords? !
Xiao Nan smiled and said nothing, just looked at Hou Junjun quietly, with a copper coin between his slender fingers.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone stood still as if their acupuncture points had been tapped.

Only Xiao Nan, her dexterous fingers flew up and down, and the copper coin was also made to shine a little bit by Wu, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.

Hou Junjun was no exception, she stared at the copper coin flying between her fingers, lest if she was not careful, Xiao Nan would "slip" again, and the copper coin would fly to her neck veins.

When the air in the room was almost stagnant, Xiao Nan laughed out loud, nodded slowly, and said: "Mr. Hou is right, this is indeed a joke."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Nan flipped her fingers, and the copper coin suddenly disappeared. She raised her right arm and waved it lightly, and said to the captain of the guard: "It was a false alarm. Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest."

Since Xiao Nan was promoted to princess, the imperial court assigned her a sword-wielding armor guard according to regulations, but based on the principle of keeping a low profile, she rarely used it.

These armored guards of hers are probably the most leisurely armored guards in the capital. They only need to send a dozen people to patrol outside the courtyard every day to ensure the safety of the house.Others spend more time practicing martial arts in the martial arts field not far from the back street of Cui's house.

I also thought that the guards lived a leisurely life and didn't have much to live, and they didn't have to help the princess to pick concubines and bully the common people, but they still received their wages. These armored guards still respected and appreciated Xiao Nan.

Today, although it seems that the princess has made a fuss, the guards in the hall are a little depressed, but they are not angry. After hearing Xiao Nan's words, they all put away their weapons, saluted, and then whispered under the leadership of the captain. backed out.

Xiao Nan sat up straight, shook the sleeves of his robe, and said to Lord Hou with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I slipped my hand and accidentally injured the Lord, please forgive me. Come here and send the Lord to the inn for treatment."

Seeing the guards retreating, Hou Junjun finally let go of her hanging heart. Her beautiful facial features were a little distorted, and she forced herself to say calmly: "I, I still have something to do, so I won't bother the princess, and leave!"

With that said, Lord Hou turned around and left.The rough maidservants also pressed the wound, or the two supported each other (the one who hurt the thigh can't afford it), followed Hou Junjun, and left the hall quickly.

Under the verandah outside the door, more than a dozen servants and maidservants holding hammers, led by the iron lady, all followed up, in the name of seeing off the guests, but in fact they were escorting them.

Still holding the whip in her hand, Yuzan asked puzzledly: "Lady, she clearly wanted to force you to go to the banquet, why did you let her go?"

Xiao Nan's eyes were still looking at the backs of the group of people, until they completely disappeared in the courtyard, she said faintly: "Something is wrong."

It stands to reason that if King Wu really rebelled, he should be cautious before the official launch and never leak the slightest word.

But what happened just now?

Hou Junjun made it clear that he was here to kidnap people and make trouble.

Moreover, Xiao Nan was sure that he was not the only one who was harassed. In the capital, there must have been quite a few dignitaries who had been 'visited' by King Wu's cronies.

Xiao Nan has armored guards, and those powerful families also have guards or trilogy, so it is impossible to let King Wu's people mess around.

Rao is that they adopted the method of Junjun Hou, sneaked in in the name of a female family member's visit, then took advantage of the person's unpreparedness, and finally used the master as a threat to leave smoothly.

But what about after leaving?
King Wu is not afraid that his family will go to Jingzhao Mansion or even Tai Chi Palace to file a complaint?
What are you going to do to make such a big commotion?
and many more……

Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and lightly slid his fingers across the table, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Perhaps, what he wants is to disrupt the capital."

Hearing this, Yuzan bowed her head in thought, and after a while, said hesitantly: "What does the Princess mean to say that they purposely made such a formation in order to cause chaos in the capital?"

Xiao Nan opened his eyes, looked outside the door, and said: "Go, send a few people to go out to have a look, besides our Qinren Square, we also have to go to Chongren Square, Anyi Square, Kaihua Square, and Shengye Square to have a look. How are these places?

What is the situation at Jingzhao, Jinwuwei, Yiwei, Lingjunwei, etc.?How is the situation of Marquis Wu in various places in the square?Inquire about all of them in detail, and then report back to me as soon as possible. "

Xiao Nan's focus is very direct, the guards at the gates of the palace city, the imperial city and the capital city, the safety of the capital city and the alleys in the squares.

Yuzan hurriedly responded, and hurried out to arrange staff.

Xiao Nan thought for a while, and then called Yuzhu: "Tell the servants in the mansion not to leave the mansion if there is nothing particularly urgent. If there is something urgent at home, you must report it to you in detail. You can ask the servants clearly. Let it out. In addition, order the concierge to send more people to watch the door, I don't want to have a second lady who comes to make fun of me."

"Yes, maidservant understands." Yuzhu bowed in response, and then walked out quickly.

Xiao Nan raised his voice and called out: "Iron Lady!"

The iron lady who was waiting under the veranda immediately stood up, handed the hammer to the woman beside her, and walked in with her own bow.

"Go to each room and department to make statistics and see who has rested and who has asked for leave in the past few days. What is the reason for the leave? Is it sick or something at home? What is the matter at home? Also, let everyone Ladies in charge of Fanggesi should pay more attention to the people under their hands, if anyone behaves suspiciously or speaks or behaves inappropriately, they will all be tied up and sent to the execution room."

Xiao Nan had to make sure that no sand was mixed into the house. She didn't want to have some bad people with ulterior motives sneak into the house when there was no major incident outside, to take advantage of the fire or something.

The Iron Lady bowed and replied, "Yes, I obey."

Xiao Nan thought for a while, and then said: "Also, you go out and tell the big steward, let him pay more attention to the situation in the outer courtyard, Mr. Lang is not at home, we must keep an eye on the door."

"Yes."

Iron Lady waited for a while, seeing that Xiao Nan had nothing to add, she saluted and withdrew.

When Iron Lady left, she took the dozen or so rough maids with her.

Xiao Nan was the only one left in the hall, she looked up at the curtain hanging from the beam, and said in her heart: I hope this turmoil will pass as soon as possible, and the family and a few close relatives will be safe and sound.

Mother Su came in with a tray. When she came to the side, she saw Xiao Nan's solemn expression, and asked worriedly: "Princess, are you alright?"

Xiao Nan raised his eyes and saw that it was his wet nurse, smiled, and said: "It's nothing, wet nurse doesn't need to worry."

Mother Su handed the warm milk to Xiao Nan, muttering: "How can you not worry, you are not alone now, the outside is still so chaotic..."

Just as he was talking, Cui Youbo hurried in, wearing an official uniform, holding a whip in his hand, and his expression was a little anxious.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan was startled, straightened up and asked, "Lang Jun, what happened?"

Skipping work during working hours?His face is still so ugly?

Cui Youbo sat down next to Xiao Nan, threw the horsewhip aside, and retreated from Mama Su in a low voice, seeing that there was no one around, he said: "My lady, there is chaos outside, Jingzhao's guards, Jin Wuwei, and Marquis Wu , running around all over the street."

Xiao Nan was slightly startled, put down the cup in his hand, and asked: "Does your lord know why you are in such a mess?"

Cui Youbo flattened his body, lay on his back on the couch, and said: "I heard that several honorable families and clans ordered people to go to Jingzhao to report the crime, saying that some villains broke into the mansion and intercepted the family members. Now the whereabouts of the family members are unknown. They asked Jingzhao to arrest the murderer quickly."

Seeing that Cui Youbo was not feeling well, Xiao Nan pulled a hidden bag and stuffed it for him, and then asked: "Bad man? What kind of bad guy can break into a noble man's mansion? I don't know about other people's houses. There are houses like ours at the door. A dozen servants or guards, as long as there are not dozens or hundreds of thieves, they will not be able to break in at all."

But if there were really so many people gathering to make trouble, they would have been discovered by Marquis Wu, who was patrolling the square, so how could they be allowed to make trouble.

Cui Youbo put his hidden pouch behind his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know the details. Originally, I was studying in the Cangshu Pavilion. Suddenly, a young man from a colleague came to report that the family members were robbed, and the family was in chaos. Regiment, please go home and deal with your colleagues.

When other colleagues heard the news, they were worried that something might happen at home, so they asked for leave one after another.Although our family has armored guards, but the family is full of women and children, I can't rest assured, so I also asked for leave and came back.Along the way, I saw teams of errands and guards running around. "

At the end, Cui Youbo sighed, "Oh, it seems that there will be a big chaos in Beijing at the earliest tonight, or in three to five days at the latest."

After hearing this, Xiao Nan was already seventy or eighty percent sure, she organized her words, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, someone came to our house to 'rob people' half an hour ago."

"What?!" Cui Youbo sat up suddenly, staring at Xiao Nan with his eyes, and asked eagerly: "What's going on? Who is so bold? Is the lady injured?"

As he spoke, Cui Youbo stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Nan's arm, ready to check it himself.

Xiao Nan pushed away Cui Youbo's hand, hooked the corners of his lips, and told about Hou Junjun's attempt to force her to go to the Wu Palace for a banquet under the pretext of inviting her.

However, she did not highlight how she broke through, but instead focused on why King Wu did this.

"Lang Jun, I always feel that Wu Wang's move must have a deep meaning, and it is definitely not just to rob a few noble ladies to go to his house as a 'guest'."

Xiao Nan said his thoughts again, "Originally I was just speculating, but after hearing what Lang Jun said just now, I think it is very likely that King Wu wanted to disrupt the capital, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack." confidantes.

However, for the sake of caution, Xiao Nan did not say the last sentence.

When the prince was mentioned, Xiao Nan thought of something again, "By the way, sir, have you seen the prince these two days?"

Hearing Xiao Nan's words, Cui Youbo was shocked at first, then nervous and angry, then relieved, and finally pensive.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cui Youbo nodded slowly: "Well, my lady's guess is reasonable. On the surface, the saint is sick, the prince is sick, and the generals of the twelve guards and four mansions are also performing their duties. The capital and the imperial city are peaceful. .

However, the left and right guards and leading guards that the saint relied on most were not in the capital.And the personal guards of the prince's three guards are not in the East Palace, and it is estimated that only a very few people know where they are deployed. "

While thinking about it, Cui Youbo said, "I think that King Wu's move is very likely to take advantage of the chaos in the capital to find out where the guards are. I haven't seen the prince these days, and I heard that he is in the Taiji Palace. , but there are also private discussions that the crown prince is in the East Palace."

Of course, there is even more unreliable gossip, saying that the prince is outside the city, leading the saint's four guards, and is ready to return to Beijing at any time to quell the chaos.

Xiao Nan also thought of these, she nodded, and said: "I guess this is just the first step, and they should have a big move next."

Cui Youbo didn't speak, just nodded silently, and after thinking for a while, he got up, "I'll go to Rongkangju."

Xiao Nan saw that Cui Youbo looked a little anxious, so he persuaded softly: "Mr. Lang, although the matter is big, it has nothing to do with us directly, so you don't need to worry."

Cui Youbo stood in front of the door, heard this, nodded his head, and said in a muffled voice: "I know, my lady is also taking care, take good care of the two children. I may not come back at noon and night, so my lady should not wait for me. "

Xiao Nan: "Okay, sir, just rest assured, I will take care of the trivial matters at home, and I won't distract you. You just need to discuss important matters with your old husband and wife."

After a pause, Xiao Nan suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, do you want to bring the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family into the mansion? After all, they are small and have no use."

In case of hacking on the street, they would not dare to provoke the high-ranking and wealthy families, and those ordinary people and small households are very likely to suffer.

Cui Youbo: "Well, my lady is very worried, the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family will have to please my lady to settle down."

After the husband and wife finished talking, Cui Youbo didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he hurried to Rongkang Hall.

Sending off Cui Youbo, Xiao Nan called Qiu's mother and ordered her to take a few people to Zheng's house to bring Zheng Qin and Zheng Mian to Cui's house.

"Miss, if Mr. Zheng asked why he brought them to Cui's house, how should this old slave answer?"

He has just moved into the new house, and now he is called back, at least he should give a reason.

Xiao Nan smiled, shook his head and said, "Lang Zheng won't ask, he understands the whole story."

With Zheng Qin's cleverness, he probably guessed something. Mother Qiu only needs to say that the gentleman ordered him, and he will move directly without asking why.

Mother Qiu had no choice but to back down.

An hour later, Zheng Qin and Zheng Mian were brought back to Rongshou Hall.Zheng Qin still lives in the atrium guest house, while Zheng Mian lives with Lingxi.

At noon, Xiao Nan, his two children, and Zheng Mian had lunch together.

I have to say that Zheng Mian is also a smart girl. When she came back, she didn't talk about any current affairs. Instead, she led Lingxi to talk about embroidery and brocade just like in Luoyang.

Seeing Zheng Mian again, Lingxi was very happy, and dragged her to chat endlessly, and during the afternoon break, she also intimately pulled Zheng Mian to sleep together.

Xiao Nan took Changsheng to take a nap together.

Ever since the Fang family was kicked out, Xiao Nan consciously separated the nurse from the children. There was no baby nurse at Lingxi's place, and Changsheng's nurse was still there, but she was only responsible for disciplining the little maid, and didn't let her touch the others.

At night, as long as Cui Youbo is not around, Xiao Nan will sleep with the two children himself.Even if Uncle Cui spent the night in the main bedroom, Xiao Nan would go to put the two children to sleep first, and then come back to rest.

Although it was tiring to do so, the effect was very good. The two children were closer and more dependent on her as their mother than before.

And Changsheng's wet nurse learned Fang's lesson, she didn't dare to interfere with Changsheng's affairs, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Changsheng behind Xiao Nan's back.

Lying on the big kang at the Humen, Xiao Nan raised his cheeks with one hand, and gently patted Changsheng's small body with the other. The little guy only wore a big red bellyband with cute cartoon tigers embroidered on it. a drum.

The little guy slept soundly, his fair little face was full of tranquility, his bright red mouth babbled from time to time, and when he listened carefully, he could faintly hear a slight snoring sound.

Looking at the cute sleeping portrait of his son, Xiao Nan only felt that his heart was filled with a feeling called happiness.

Gently caressing the baby's small face with fingers, there is a soft and delicate touch under the fingertips, smoother than the best silk, and more tender than the best tofu... This is her son, who is connected with her blood His own flesh and blood.

For this little thing, she is willing to give up everything, and she is willing to do her best to protect him from growing up happily and healthily.

Today, oh no, to be precise, it should be three days later, she must spend it safely, and never let anyone have a chance to hurt her child or her family.

Thinking about it, sleepiness hit, and Xiao Nan gradually fell asleep.

In the afternoon, after waking up from a nap, Zheng Mian played with Lingxi and Changsheng in the main hall. There were puppets and wooden toys piled up around them. Of course, Lingxi's little mare and Changsheng's pony carriage were indispensable. .

"Sister, where are you going, I will see you off!"

Changsheng held the miniature rein in his hand, and behind him was dragging a miniature carriage two feet long and one foot wide.Regardless of the small size of the carriage, every part is complete, and it is completely customized according to the regulations of normal carriages, scaled to a certain proportion.

Lingxi and Zheng Mian are busy dressing the dolls with new clothes, so there is no time to 'sit' in the carriage pulled by her younger brother, but she has to ignore him, and casually pulls out a bear doll from a pile of dolls, "Brother , my little bear is going to Suzaku Street, my sister doesn’t know the way, why don’t you help my sister take it there?”

Changsheng likes "helping" people the most. He happily took the little bear, squatted down, opened the door of the pony carriage, and stuffed the doll in. The little guy was very careful and did not forget to close the door at the end.

"Sit down, little bear, we're going to Suzaku Avenue!"

As he said that, Chang Sheng pulled the rein, walked around the hall with short legs, grunting.

Changsheng's wet nurse followed along, and when necessary, she would also play a guest role. For example, this time, she will play the role of Marquis Wu of Zhuque Avenue and be in charge of "reporting the station".

Hearing the reminder from the wet nurse, Changsheng finally stopped, and said in a dignified manner: "Okay, we're here, little bear get off!"

Of course, Little Xiong couldn't get out of the car by himself, so Chang Sheng had no choice but to poke up his PP, open the car door himself, and drag Little Xiong out of the car.

Yuhan stood at the door, seeing the little master blocking the door, she didn't dare to rush, but waited quietly.

Seeing this, the nurse was busy cosplaying passengers and asked to take a carriage to Luoyang.

Changsheng was very conscientious. When he saw someone riding, he hugged the little bear in one hand and dragged the rein in the other, pulling the pony carriage to "Luoyang".

The little ancestor finally moved away, Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the couch a few steps, and whispered back: "Princess, something happened."

Xiao Nan sat up straight and said seriously, "What's wrong?"

Yuzan replied in a low voice: "Someone broke into Prince Wu's mansion, yelling to kill Li Sanlang, and rushed into the princess' birthday banquet with a knife..."
