Chapter 280 The Unexpected Person
Because all the masters in Cheng's mansion have gone far away and haven't returned for a long time, the remaining servants in the mansion will inevitably feel lazy.

When Li Lan came to Cheng Mansion, what he saw was this scene——

The gate of Cheng Mansion was tightly closed, there were some spider webs on the corners, and the stone lions guarding both sides were covered in dust.The hot sun shone on it, but it looked gray.

The little eunuch took two steps forward and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, the door opened.

The servant girl standing behind the door couldn't help showing doubts when she saw that the two were dressed in eunuch costumes.

"Girl, let's find Miss Yuan who lives here." The little eunuch said with a smile, "It's the empress who asked us to come." He also took out the handbook.

Originally seeing the other party wearing the clothes of the palace, the servant girl had five points of trust, but now that she read the handbook, she was even more suspicious of him, and immediately said "wait a moment", then turned and went to look for him.

The maid's efficiency was still very high, and she quickly brought the man over.

The woman who was brought in front of him still had a hint of hesitation on her face, but the moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.

"Miss Yuan." Li Lan and his party saluted.

"Ah..." Yuan Zhenzhu finally came to his senses, and returned a substandard salute.She subconsciously covered her face, feeling in her heart that her old and decrepit appearance was really not in the elegant hall.

"Miss Yuan, I have ordered you to come and tell the girl." Li Lanyi said slowly, "Your Majesty said that the time has come, and you can do what you want to do."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhenzhu was taken aback for a moment, her expression was numb, and the hand that was covering her face just now was also frozen in the air.

After a while, she suddenly trembled and her breathing became short of breath.

"Miss Yuan?" Li Lan called her.

"Hmm..." Yuan Zhenzhu lowered her head and responded.

"Since the holy intention has been conveyed, the servants will not stay here any longer." Li Lan cupped his hands.

"Thank you!" Yuan Zhenzhu suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed heavily to him, "My daughter, thank you Your Majesty!"

Her voice trembled, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

The little eunuch glanced at Li Lanyi, stepped forward wisely, and helped her up.

"Get up, girl." The little eunuch smiled with narrowed eyes, "Since you are grateful, let's act quickly."

"Hmm..." Yuan Zhenzhu nodded, and she couldn't help but look at Li Lanyi.

Facing her naked eyes, Li Lanyi did smile indifferently, "Miss Yuan, but what else do you need to tell the slaves?"

"No..." Yuan Zhenzhu shook her head immediately.

"In this case, the servants will leave first." Li Lan cupped his hands, turned and got into the carriage.

The carriage rumbled, but after a while, it mixed into the market.

Yuan Zhenzhu moved her feet and followed the carriage for two steps. She didn't stop until she couldn't see the shadow of the carriage.

She touched her old face, wet tears ran across her cheeks and stained her slender fingertips.

"It's all because of me..." Yuan Zhenzhu's heart ached like glue, and her palms slowly clenched into fists.

……

The scorching sun was dazzling, and a few workers sitting at the gate of the city talked about the terrible weather while drinking water.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the city gate.

Several people looked at it, but it was a black horse roaring past.Immediately, the boy was in high spirits, and there was a little girl in front of him.

"Who is this?"

"do not know……"

"Look! The badge on his body seems to belong to the palace."

Chirp, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The black horse passed through a residential area and came straight to the palace gate.Immediately, the young man showed his token, and the guards guarding the city gate immediately gave way.

The boy dismounted and hurried into the palace with the girl.

When he came to the upper study room, Lin Heng had already opened the door wide open, and when he saw him, he asked him to come in.

In the room, Cheng Muqing was sitting in front of the desk, the round fan in his hand was shaking non-stop.

"Your Majesty has met, Your Majesty!" Ming Chen knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"The daughter of the people has seen the empress, Your Majesty." The girl who followed him also imitated an unruly salute.

"You?" Cheng Muqing tilted his head and looked at the little girl.

The little girl looked up and grinned at her.

"Sister Fairy, it's me."

"Xiaohua!" Cheng Muqing blurted out in surprise.

The girl in front of me is actually Xiao Hua?

"Why are you here?" Lin Heng couldn't help asking.

"Of course I'm here to help Sister Fairy!" Xiaohua raised her chin.

"Don't be a disservice." Lin Heng muttered.

"You!" Xiaohua wanted to refute, but thinking of his current status, she didn't dare to offend him, "You're right."

"What are you talking about with a child?" Cheng Muqing couldn't help laughing.

"No..." Lin Heng pursed his lips guiltyly.

"Xiaohua, tell me, how can you help me?" Cheng Muqing returned to the topic.

"Sister Fairy, Master Cao is not a good person!" Xiao Hua said with a firm gaze, "After you left, Master Cao killed many people in order to cater to that lord!"

Cao Da?Thinking of Cao Da's hostility towards Zhao Duofu in court, the husband and wife looked at each other tacitly.

"What happened to Bashu after we left?" Lin Heng asked.

"After you left, Mr. Cao led people to massacre the city! Those who were sincere to you were all killed!" Xiaohua's lips trembled, as if remembering the tragedy at that time, "Many people died...the plague broke out again " She took a deep breath, "Fortunately, Sister Abao came back, she rescued me, and dragged me back to the world from Hades. Later, not long after the plague stabilized, Master Mingchen came."

"He, I and Sister Abao inquired about the former Minister of the Household Department. We told the truth. In fact, the Minister of the Household Department is a bit fierce, but if you say he is a corrupt official, it is really not enough. There is only one servant by his side. Come on. When we were here, he was just carrying a burden. He didn’t have much money, and he treated us well, but there was still a lot of rice in the porridge.”

"Anyway, at least the former Minister of the Household Department did not do anything to hurt us. Do you know, Sister Fairy? That Cao Da! He killed a lot of people with his own hands! If I didn't run fast and be small, I'm afraid I would have saved them. It's in his hands."

"How to kill?" Cheng Muqing asked her subconsciously.

"It's just...holding a sword, stabbing it one after another, until several bloody holes were poked out..." Xiaohua licked her lips, "There was a lot of blood, and those people died terribly..."

blood hole...

scarlet robe...

Because of that dream, she had doubted many people, but she never thought that this treacherous minister was by her side.Or someone who was reused by himself and Lin Heng.

"Where is Zhen Chenggong?" Lin Heng asked.

"I don't know... I didn't see it." Xiaohua shook her head, "Maybe she was locked up."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, "Go down and rest."

"You've been running all the way, and you're tired even thinking about it." Cheng Muqing also said, "We prepared meals tonight, you two go to sleep after eating, and I'll call you later."

"Yes." Mingchen took Xiao Hua and left.
