Princesses are always forced to blacken

"Just an accidental death?"

muffled voice.

Zhao Guogong said that there was no hidden pain in his expression that Su Rao felt before, but his face became more calm and his expression became more difficult to understand.

"It is indeed an accident to return home."

The private guard changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, fully prostrate, not daring to lie to the Duke.

They were ordered by the Duke of the Kingdom to secretly take the young lady to Qingyun Temple in the name of the queen mother. They didn't want the young lady to realize that the direction she was going was not Langjing halfway, so they stunned them in the middle of the night, and took Shulan and the guard from the border city who escorted her. , drove away overnight.

They slept for a whole night, and when they woke up, they wanted to catch up, but their horses were all drugged, and they were all dead. Without horses, it was really difficult for them to catch up, so they had to go to the nearest post first.

After they found the horse and followed it all the way, they saw the wreckage of the carriage and the body of the lady at the bend of the hillside. After several investigations, it was determined that it was an accident.

While the private guards were talking, the housekeeper waved his hand, and four private guards entered the room, carrying two corpses in twos.

A corpse was carried on a stretcher, covered with white silk, very carefully.

Another corpse was brought in casually.

Zhao Lianxin and the border guard who were afraid of taking responsibility and ran away.

Not long after the city guards escaped, they fainted due to their injuries. They froze to death in the forest when they searched for them.

The private guards of the Zhao family searched for this person all the way through traces of blood and footprints, but they did not find any hidden weapons that might have shot down the rocks on this person.

They also inspected the rocks that fell on the horse's back under the weight of snow, and there were no scratches left by the arrows. The rolling of the rocks was accidental, and there were no traces of man-made.

The private guards of the Zhao family came to this conclusion after several investigations. It was also based on the fact that the day when Zhao Lianxin's accident happened was just after a snowstorm. On the mountain road, there are only snow marks left when the wheels run over, and there are no other marks.

And the small mountain peak where the rock was crushed down is even more vast and white, without any trace of human trampling, the wind and snow have stopped, and there will be no more falling snow to cover up other traces.

"call…"

After a long time, most of the candles in the candlesticks had been burned, and Zhao Guogong, who was sitting on the grand master's chair, exhaled like this, but he never got up, and he never wanted to see his granddaughter.

At this moment, Zhao Guogong had the same expression as the one who abandoned Zhao Lianxin and kissed Zhu Siam at that time. He slowly stroked a handful of horns and beards. He just sat and stared at the corpse covered in white silk, and then said:
"After marrying Zhuxian, you will bear the good and the bad by yourself in the future. This is the last advice your grandfather gave you at that time. Now you can't bear it. It is also because you did not listen to your grandfather's words. If you listened to your grandfather's words, why did you end up?" Now it’s fine, you don’t have to be trapped in the Taoist temple in the future, and you don’t have to resent grandpa for being cruel, for my daughter of the Zhao family, you have already disappointed grandpa.”

He waved his hand and carried the corpse down. After Luo Ling's wedding, he would find the right time for those who went out to look for it to bring it back. There was no need to bury it in the clan's land, since it was not his Zhao family's daughter, so he could just find a Fengshui land.

Let me explain, Zhao Guogong just got up and walked into the inner room. For the glory of the family, he can be cruel to this point. The granddaughter who had given him high hopes since childhood, but finally disappointed him, is now dead, and she will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave. , humiliate the family.

But the figure who walked into the inner room, with a slightly hunched back, and Butler Zhao who followed him, he saw the pain hidden by the Duke.

Take a breath and ask the private guard to carry the corpse down.

The midnight candle was lit, and it was only extinguished after midnight.

There was no more movement.

Quiet down.

As for Zhu Xian and Lang Jing, when Zhao's private guards returned to report, Siam Yi Chi Shao and Yun Mu Jing also received news from their respective cronies.

Hei Xiao and Xin Ying sent news one after the other, Xie Yi Chi Shao received it in the middle of the night, Yun Mu Jing knew about it the next day, and they all knew about this natural disaster.

Siam Yi Chi Shao's order, and Su Rao's guess, was not the first step to ambush Zhao Lianxin on the only way to return to Beijing, but the Eagle Shadow Guards have been secretly following Zhao Lianxin since Zhao Lianxin left Zhusiam.

I wanted to solve it quietly in the dense forest, but when I was about to take action, Zhao Guogong arranged for private guards to disrupt the operation of Yingying's dark guards. Unexpectedly, the people who picked up Zhao Lianxin would go directly to the border states and counties Waiting outside, but there was no move for a while.

Zhao Lianxin was picked up by private guards arranged by Zhao Guogong. Although the private guards of the Zhao family were not as good as Yingying's dark guards, if they acted rashly, they would inevitably leak the news inadvertently, which would cause trouble between Zhu Siam and Yunlang.

Helpless, the Eagle Shadow Guards continued to follow in secret, in order to find another chance to get rid of Zhao Lianxin and the Zhao family's private guards who came to pick her up.

As for Yun Mujing, he was slower than Xian Yi. Yun Mujing knew Zhao Guogong well. Even if the queen mother came forward to protect Zhao Lianxin, Zhao Guogong would never let Zhao Lianxin come back to Langjing, so Yun Mujing asked him to keep an eye on him. On the contrary, they are from the Zhao family.

After Zhao's private guards dispatched and easily replaced the person arranged by Empress Dowager Shu to pick up Zhao Lianxin halfway, Yun Mujing knew that Zhao Lianxin would not be able to return to Langjing, so if Zhao Lianxin was half-dead under the eyes of Zhao's private guards If it is not disabled, it can only happen because the Zhao family's own people are not good at taking care of him.

Later, Zhao Lianxin realized that the person who picked her up was not arranged by her aunt, but by her grandfather. She escaped at night, and when such an excellent opportunity appeared, Yingying's dark guards immediately chased after her, and the subordinates arranged by Yun Mujing also followed secretly. , both parties act.

As a result, there was no surprise. Before the two parties took action against Zhao Lianxin, they first noticed the existence of the other party. Both thought that the person who was secretly hiding and following Zhao Lianxin was secretly protecting Zhao Lianxin. do not stay.

However, just when the two sides were about to make a move, due to the heavy snow on the mountain peak, such an accident occurred, the carriage rolled down the hillside, and both sides just looked at it, and neither of them rushed to rescue.

The two parties reacted like this, and each of them understood clearly from the bottom of their hearts. The leaders of each other only looked at each other, and never thought about who sent the other party. Since they both came here to kill Zhao Lianxin, there is no need to think too much, and they will not It is from the Zhao family's faction, and since it is not from the Zhao family's faction, they will definitely not publicize the meeting between the two parties to the Zhao family's knowledge.

Zhao Lianxin's accidental death saved them from doing anything, and both parties left quietly without saying a word.

Although they secretly tracked and left traces, they were all in the forest opposite the place where Zhao Lianxin had an accident.

There is a hillside between the mountain forest and the curve, and there is a ditch under the hillside. The Zhao family's private guards explored the traces under the ditch. Except for the wreckage caused by the rolling of the carriage, there is only one bloody trace of climbing and a string of messy fading away. Without the footprints, they would not go to explore the opposite mountain forest under the wind and snow skidding.

And when the people arranged by Siam Yi Chi Shao and Yun Mujing leave, they will clean up their respective traces.
