Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 51 There Are Assassins

At this time, Tao Xun finally came back to his senses, raised his head in surprise, and stared intently at this man who descended from the sky like a god, his handsome features were like jade carvings, his sword eyebrows flew obliquely, his phoenix eyes slightly raised, and his dark eyes seemed to be deep The night is full of mystery.The bridge of the nose is neat, the lips are thin, the facial lines are sharp and angular, and the bright yellow silk ribbons on the cheeks are flying in the night wind.This man has a charming aura, not just his handsome appearance, but his dignity and arrogance exuded from the inside out.

At this moment, her whole body was nestled in his arms, her face pressed against his warm heart, because she was so close, she could hear the beating heart under his chest.Those powerful big hands wrapped around her waist, ironing her skin like a branding iron, making her hardly dare to take a big breath, for fear of revealing her shyness at this moment.

"Miss Tao, are you alright?" Nangong Bo's gentle and magnetic voice spread beside Tao Xun's ears, making Tao Xun feel dazed.

"Miss Tao?" Nangong Bo didn't get an answer, thinking that Tao Xun was injured just now, and asked with concern.

"Ah?" Tao Xun finally regained his sanity, lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to let Nangong Bo see his blushing face, "I'm fine!"

"That's good!" Nangong Bo was relieved at this moment, and with a big hand, he hugged Tao Xun, "Miss Tao, I've offended you!"

Nan Gongbo flew up with Tao Xun in his arms, passed through an alley and landed firmly on the horse's back, "I'll take you back!" After speaking, the horse neighed and galloped with hooves raised .

Tao Xun was in a daze all the time, until she was sent back to the inn by Nangong Bo, and then helped back to the room by her maid who served her personally, her heart was still beating violently.

"Miss, miss?" Yu'er, Tao Xun's personal servant girl, rolled her eyes. Her own lady has been in a daze since she came back. She asked her several times and she didn't answer. Could it be that she was scared stupid.

"Why so loud?" Tao Xun was immersed in good memories, thinking of Nangong Bo's handsome face and gentle eyes, he smirked unconsciously.Tao Xun grew up with Tao Jingzhong in the military camp since childhood, and the men she met were all high-ranking and rough soldiers. Before she came to Beijing, she heard people say that the young men in the capital are all gentle and refined, so the girl's mind She had been imagining for a long time that she could meet an elegant and gentle man, and Nangong Bo fit all her fantasies. Her little heart was still beating, but was interrupted by Yu'er, and she stared displeasedly at the man in front of her. The maid, no matter how big or small, said, "Your skin is tight, isn't it?"

"Miss, this servant has been calling you for a long time!" Yu'er pouted, she has been serving the young lady since she was a child, although the young lady sometimes has a bit of a temper, but most of the time she is easy to get along with, that's why she dared to be so presumptuous.

"What's the matter?" Tao Xun's pretty face was still red, and she glanced at Yu'er, resting her chin with her hands.

"My servant thought that I would not be able to eat anything in the palace, so I specially prepared supper for you, so I want to ask you, do you want some supper?" Yu'er stared at her lady strangely, she is usually like a boy, It is rare to have such a daughter's side, so she was dumbfounded, but the young lady looks so beautiful.

"No need, I'm not hungry, prepare some water, I want to take a bath!" Tao Xun finally recovered from the previous thoughts, still happy in his heart, holding his cheeks and smiling.

Besides, after Nangong Bo sent Tao Xun back to the station, he watched Tao Xun enter the station before getting on his horse and leaving. When he turned his head, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.General Zhennan is such a precious daughter. If he can get her, the army in General Zhennan's hands will be in his pocket.

"Master, all the assassins tonight are dead!" Nangong Bo's secret guard, Lan Feng, rode over in a dark blue outfit and reported.

"Didn't I say I want to keep alive?" Nangong Bo's tone suddenly turned cold, and a stern light in his eyes swept towards Lan Feng who was beside him.

"They are all slain warriors. Seeing that they couldn't make it, they all committed suicide by taking poison!" Lan Feng lowered his head, not daring to look at Nangong Bo's angry eyes.

"Didn't we find any clues?" Nangong Bo was also curious, this place is at the foot of the emperor, who would dare to openly attack the daughter of General Zhennan?

"These people don't have any marks on them, and even the weapons are the most common weapons, and we haven't found any useful clues for now!" Lan Feng knew that he was incapable of doing things, so he knelt on the ground and dared not get up.

"Forget it, anyway, the Ministry of Justice and Jing Zhaoyin will intervene and withdraw all the people, so don't worry about this matter! Has the person who gave you the news tonight found out who it is?" Nan Gongbo is not worried about the assassins tonight, the purpose of these people It was Tao Xun, maybe someone from southern Xinjiang, who would not pose any threat to the capital for the time being. What he was even more curious about was the person who delivered the news to Lanfeng.

"No!" Lan Feng was also curious, he had received news last night that Tao Xun would be ambushed here tonight, but so far he has not been able to find anyone who gave him the news.

"Continue to investigate!" This person passed information to himself, and created an opportunity for himself to win over Tao Jingzhong. What is the purpose of this person?However, no matter what his purpose is, it seems that the other party is helping himself.Nangong Bo clamped his legs, and the horse raised its hooves.Lan Feng, who was behind him, knew that the matter was over, heaved a sigh of relief, and rode his horse to catch up.

It wasn't until Nangong Bo's people disappeared into the depths of the night that a black shadow at the corner of the station disappeared, disappeared into the dark night sky, and finally fell into an exquisite courtyard of Prince Ding's Mansion.

"Master, the matter is settled!" An Yi's tall figure was projected on the screen window through the light, and his thick voice was deliberately lowered.

"Well, let's go!" An indifferent voice came from the room, without a trace of temperature, the already cold air outside almost condensed into ice.

An Yi was used to such an indifferent master, so he didn't feel surprised. After reporting the situation, he hid in the dark.

In the next few days, because the new year is approaching, everyone is busy.Gan Lu had just been promoted to the prime minister, and those who wanted to curry favor blatantly took advantage of the Chinese New Year to send things to the prime minister's mansion in an endless stream, and some even sent beautiful young women.In the past, the eldest lady would have kicked him out directly, but now that so many things have happened, and the third aunt deliberately opposed her, so even though she was unhappy on the face, she still sent him to Gan Lu's yard.

To say that the officials of Nanming were very lucky, hundreds of years ago, a certain emperor issued a special rule that all officials had their annual leave from the 28th of the twelfth lunar month until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, during this period, all officials did not have to go to towards.

The four women sent here are all beautiful and young girls. Gan Lu is only in his 40s this year. He is an upright man, so he likes it naturally. So during the Chinese New Year, he opened up all four women and took them into the backyard. concubine's room.

The eldest lady was busy dealing with these newcomers, so she naturally stopped looking at Gan Fu. Gan Fu took this opportunity to live a leisurely cultivation life.This is something!
On New Year's Eve, Gan Lu, as the first-rank prime minister of the dynasty, had to enter the palace to attend the banquet held by the emperor. The eldest wife, Gan Qi, Gan Wei, etc., as the family members, also accompanied them into the palace.Before Zishi, everyone came back, so the New Year's Eve dinner began in Fuchu.

"Master, madam, the Second Prince's Mansion has sent someone!" The housekeeper happily ran in, followed by a man who also looked like a housekeeper, but he didn't have a beard, so he was probably from the palace.

The palace people entered the hall and bowed with a smile, "I wish the old lady, the prime minister, my wife, and young ladies a happy new year. The old slave has ordered the second prince to send congratulatory gifts to the fourth lady and all the young ladies!" After finishing speaking , with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen servants came in carrying the boxes behind him and put them in the hall.

When Gan Lu heard that it belonged to the second prince's mansion, his shrewd black eyes flashed with joy, he stood up, and walked to the side of the palace servant, "Thank you, second prince!"

"Prime Minister, you are welcome. The Second Prince said that the Fourth Miss was frightened a while ago, so I specially chose a jade ruyi for the Fourth Miss to scare the Fourth Miss." When the palace man was speaking, a servant behind him walked up to Gan Lu holding a box. , opened the box.

When Gan Wei heard that the Second Prince's Mansion was coming, her big eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy. If it wasn't for the veil on her face, everyone would have seen her grinning mouth.Gan Wei's seat happened to be opposite to Gan Fu's, so she cast a smug look at Gan Fu, but she got a meaningful smile from Gan Fu.

"On behalf of my daughter, I would like to thank the second prince for his kindness!" Although Gan Lu tried his best to keep calm on the surface, his heart was already turbulent. After so many things happened, Gan Lu always thought that the second prince would retire. Today's move shows that this family The marriage is not lost.

"The second prince heard that Miss Six was injured, so he ordered the old slave to bring some elixir for Miss Six to remove scars!" The palace man smiled when he said something, with a respectful and humble look. When talking about Ganfu, he found A petite figure.He had never seen this Miss Six before, but for some reason, when his eyes touched that figure, he was sure it was her, because among the many ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the little girl's appearance and temperament jumped out of this figure. The seemingly dignified crowd is like an independent white lotus, making people attracted to her uncontrollably.Only such a woman deserves the Second Prince's attention.

A gleam of light flashed across Gan Lu's refined eyes, and he waved to the butler beside him, "Since you're here, stay and have a glass of wine, butler, arrange a table immediately!"

The second prince specifically mentioned Gan Fu, and Gan Wei's previous joy disappeared in an instant, staring at Gan Fu who was sitting opposite, wishing to kill Gan Fu immediately on the spot.This time, Gamf still means a lot to her.

"Prime Minister, don't bother, this old slave has to rush to the next house to give presents!" The housekeeper bowed to Gan Lu, said some festive words, and left with all the servants.

Gan Wei was reconciled, so she got up and snatched the box from the servant, took out Yu Ruyi to play with in her hand, and looked at Gan Fu intentionally or unintentionally, "Mother, look, this is a good warm jade? The tentacles are warm, It must be an excellent tribute!"

"Yeah, the second prince cares about you so much. After you get married, mother will be relieved!" The eldest lady understood Gan Wei's purpose, so she followed Gan Wei's words, and when she spoke, she looked for Gan Fu's and issued a warning. means.The second prince specially sent medicine to Gan Fu, which means that the second prince has a heart for this girl. She just wanted to tell Gan Fu that even if the second prince fell in love with her, Gan Wei is a decent imperial concubine. Even if she enters the second prince's mansion, That too was just a concubine.

Ganfu had a panoramic view of the expressions of the mother and daughter, and there was no superfluous expression on her face. She was very disdainful of the behavior of the mother and daughter in her heart. Women are so sad. It is obviously the man's fault, but they always blame the woman for the fault. Sad, ridiculous!
"Master, Prince Xian's Mansion has sent someone to send congratulatory gifts!" A servant ran in with uncontrollable excitement on his face.Everyone in Nanming knew that Prince Xian's mansion never communicated with ministers, let alone offered gifts to anyone. Therefore, when this servant saw the people in Prince Xian's mansion, he was almost petrified.

"Really?" This time, Gan Lu was really excited, and it showed on his face.While speaking, a servant of Prince Xian's Mansion had already walked in, holding a box in his hand, with a calm expression, without the respect and flattery of the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion before.

"The slave was ordered by the virtuous king to send Miss Six an elixir for healing burns and scars, and also ordered by Princess Mingyue to send Miss Six a pair of jasper bracelets! Congratulations to Miss Six for a happy Chinese New Year!" He bowed to Gan Lu, and then handed the box to the steward of the prime minister's mansion, "My lord sent a message to my servant, please take care of Miss Six!"

"I would like to thank King Xian and Princess Mingyue for their concern on my behalf!" Gan Lu was just happy before, but now he is shocked. When did King Xian take care of Gan Fu?And sent someone to bring her the elixir?And Princess Mingyue, why did she also give Ganfu something?Are these two important figures in the Nanming royal family?Gan Lu's eyes searched for Gan Fu, and saw that her back was straight and her expression was calm, and there was no change in the rewards from King Xian and Princess Mingyue, and a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes.
