The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 5 The Prince Regent (2)
As soon as this question popped into her head, there were many details that Tang Jingyue hadn't noticed before, which shocked her.

Hua Rongyue's father, Yang Wenlai, died in southern Xinjiang on behalf of the old protector. However, when she died, Nanjiang was defeated by A Hao and signed a truce with Da Mao. Southern Xinjiang will not provoke again.

In addition, counting the time, when she died, Hua Rongyue should have been only ten years old, but looking at this body, she was already a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old!
Could it be that four or five years have passed since she was murdered and died?

Both eyes stared straight at the pink embroidered bed curtain, this deduction made Tang Jingyue stunned on the bed immediately, her mind went blank.

No, no, how could it be, she just...just...

just what?She didn't sleep once, but died once.

"Miss, what's the matter with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Suddenly, Tang Jingyue came back to her senses, she looked at Xia Lian, she couldn't help but keep silent, and asked in a hoarse voice with the pain tearing her throat: "The regent... who is it?"

Who is the Regent?Who has the power to be regent?How is the Tang family now? How many soldiers and horses are left in the hands of Duke Hu Guo?She had wondered before that the Lord Protector led Ahao to win the battle against southern Xinjiang, so there was no reason why the mansion was in depression.But looking at it now, if it is true that several years have passed, the status of the old Duke Protector in the court may really be different from the past.

When Xia Lian heard the young lady speak, she was frightened to death: "Oh, what are you talking about, young lady? Listen to this voice, you don't want your voice anymore, do you?"

Tang Jingyue uttered these few words out of pain, but when she saw that Xia Lian didn't speak the truth, she frowned anxiously.But her throat was so sore that she could no longer speak a word, so she could only eagerly knock on the bed, hoping that Xia Lian would be alert.

Xia Lian was quite winking, and after pouring Tang Jingyue a glass of warm water, seeing the anxious look on the lady's face, she immediately told everything she knew about the regent.

"If the Prince Regent hadn't insisted on fighting for the old man this time, my aunt would not have asked to fight for the old man. My aunt is just a literati, wouldn't he just be sent to death?" Xia Lian cried twice with red eyes, "The lord regent is just watching us protect the country The government is not pleasing to the eye with intentions. Now that the aunt is gone, what is the prince regent doing here? Treating slaves and maidservants is just 'crying cats and mice pretending to be merciful'!"

Tang Jingyue didn't know that there was another incident in the death of my aunt.I don't know who the regent is. He has been in power for several years, but he can actually push the protector, who holds the military power of 30 troops, to such a point.

Xia Lian wiped her tears with a silk cloth, and continued, sobbing, "People outside say that the prince regent is cruel and cruel, and he is a cold-faced king of Hades. It turns out that when the prince was a prince, he pretended to be kind, and when he became the prince regent, his true colors were revealed. Now All the people in the court are the regent's people, and the emperor is young, so it's hard to guarantee that one day the regent will..."

Xia Lian leaned close to Tang Jingyue's ear and whispered, "It's the wrong way."

Listening to Xia Lian's words, Tang Jingyue frowned little by little, thinking that since the regent is such a person, it would make sense to deal with the Duke Huguo's Mansion.But after talking so much, Xia Lian never said who the regent was.

Was it the prince before?Which prince, could it be...

My heart suddenly became uneasy.

Want to ask but can't ask.With this skill, she might as well go to the front yard to have a look!
Thinking of this, Tang Jingyue immediately cheered up, sat up and went down to the ground.

Xia Lian's expression changed: "Miss, what are you going to do, get something? You make a gesture, and the servant will get it for you."

Regardless of Xia Lian's obstruction, Tang Jingyue went straight out the door, and Xia Lian's heart was jumping in fear as she watched with every step.

"Miss, you just fainted, don't dare to run around! Miss!"

The three maids in the courtyard saw that the eldest lady was about to go out, and followed Xia Lian to dissuade her in a panic.If anything happens to the eldest lady, the old man will have to skin them all!

"Miss, you go back to the house and rest."

"Miss, you can't go out."

Tang Jingyue, who was in a turmoil, didn't care about these words, relying on her memory just now, she went forward bravely.

And when they finally reached the front yard, there was no figure of the regent.The Lord Protector was not there either.Thinking that Xu was sending the regent off, Tang Jingyue forced herself to get up quickly and head towards the gate of the mansion.

The guests, relatives and friends who came and went to express their condolences in the front yard looked at Miss Hua in panic, not knowing what happened.

When she finally saw Duke Hu, Tang Jingyue's eyes lit up, and at the same time, she also saw a figure on horseback twitching the reins at the gate of the mansion, and the big maroon horse raised its steps high.

That is……

Ah Hao!It's Ah Hao!

The man on horseback wore a golden crown, a pitch-black embroidered gold cloak that was billowing in the wind, and his brows were sharp and cold. Although it had been five years, Ah Hao was no longer such a gentle and refined image, but Tang Jingyue recognized it at a glance. I clearly recognize it!

"Ah..." The pain followed like a shadow.Tang Jingyue raised her hand and kneaded her throat, but she couldn't breathe, she was so choked that she wanted to cough but she couldn't make a sound out of the pain.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Ah Hao had already tilted his head slightly to take care of Duke Hu and said something, then he didn't pay any attention to what was going on in the Duke Hu's mansion where people were coming and going, and rode away neatly.

Tang Jingyue ran to the gate of the mansion weakly on both feet. Under the surprised question of the Duke Protector, she could only see A Hao driving away with a team of guards.

"Rong Yue, what are you doing here? You..."

In a hurry, Tang Jingyue didn't come up in one breath, but her eyes went dark, and she really passed out.

"Rong Yue!"

"Miss!"
