Lu Hanzhi looked down at the sleeping child and subconsciously covered her mouth. Isn't this her eldest nephew, the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Cheng Junyue?The child huddled up, with blood splattered on his body from nowhere. Lu Hanzhi covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he would scream out in surprise.Looking up again, I saw that the secret guard was also stained with blood and ash, and there was a scar on his face.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lu Hanzhi knew that Cheng Junyue must be in danger because the secret guard brought the child here, and the secret guard could not go far without authorization. The danger was probably nearby. Lu Hanzhi tried his best to calm down and deeply He took a breath and said: "You take the child back to the carriage first, leave the child to Qiu Chan to take care of, and then recruit two people to carefully guard the carriage. Let's talk about other things after you return home."

The secret guard did have a lot to say to Lu Hanzhi, but this was not the place to talk.He also thought about taking the child back immediately, but he was only a secret guard and had no right to order other secret guards. It would be too difficult for him to escort the little emperor's grandson back by himself.This is also Lu Hanzhi's dilemma. When the Cheng family goes out, there are not many secret guards accompanying them, and the only ones who can obey Lu Hanzhi's orders are the two people arranged by Cheng Junze.Rather than letting the two risk taking the little emperor's grandson back first, it would be better to hide the little emperor's grandson among the Cheng family's team, which would not easily attract the attention of others and would be safer.

The secret guard picked up the child, nodded to Lu Hanzhi, and quickly rushed to the Cheng family's carriage.

Guo Xinlian didn't look good when she saw Lu Hanzhi coming back, and she didn't want to ask questions at the moment. She just bought some small things and said to Lu Hanzhi: "Cousin, it's getting late, let's go back first!"

Lu Hanzhi couldn't worry about the little emperor's grandson, and was even more concerned about Cheng Junyue's situation. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "That's okay, I feel a little cold, so I'd better go back to the carriage to keep warm."

Mrs. Cheng also asked how long the two of them had been walking, and they mumbled it because it was cold outside.Guo Xinlian rode in a carriage with Mrs. Cheng. Lu Hanzhi went back to his carriage alone. Ye Rong came with her in a carriage. Fortunately, Ye Rong hadn't come back yet and she was never a talkative person.

On the carriage, Qiu Chan was holding the little grandson at a loss. When she saw Lu Hanzhi coming back, she was a little panicked and said: "Grandma, a guard brother just handed the little grandson to the slave, but why is the little grandson here?" What’s going on again?”

Lu Hanzhi didn't know what was going on, and it was not the time to ask questions now, so he just took the child over, held it in his arms, and said, "We'll talk about this later. You heat up the stove to keep it warm while I take off his outer clothes."

Lu Hanzhi knew that something must have happened today, and he would probably encounter inspection when he entered the city later.In a family like the Cheng family, the soldiers guarding the door didn't dare to make any mistakes. They could only lift the curtain to take a look. She could fool her by bringing a child with her for an excuse, but it didn't make sense that the child was wearing bloody clothes.Lu Hanzhi was not in a hurry to wake up the child, fearing that the child would cry. She checked and found that there were no injuries on the child. It was probably because of some method or the incense, so it would be better to wait until she got back.

"But grandma, what should I do if others ask me?" Qiu Chan's movements were not slow, but she was still worried.

"Third sister won't talk nonsense. As for others, just say that I brought them back from the temple to keep Brother Chen company." The temple will take in some homeless children. In order to pray for their children, some wealthy families will Taking the child back from the temple can be regarded as a good deed. Although this situation is rare, it is not unheard of. The identity of the little emperor's grandson must not be exposed at the moment. In any case, he must be brought back first.Qiu Chan didn't dare to say anything, and followed Lu Hanzhi's instructions to light up the stove. Lu Hanzhi took off his blood-stained coat and worried about the clothes that were a little thin but still looked rich. After thinking about it, he simply took one Wrap the child in a cloak. A woman with a child is kind-hearted, so it is reasonable to give the cloak to a child with thin clothes to keep out the cold!Looking left and right, she couldn't find anything wrong for a while. Qiu Chan silently put away the messy things and heard voices outside. Cheng Junyou and others were back.

Seeing that Ye Rong's expression was not good, Lu Hanzhi said, "What's going on? What happened to you on the street?"

Ever since Lu Hanzhi rescued Ye Rong in the cold night, Ye Rong had become more trusting and dependent on Lu Hanzhi. She was sitting with a sullen face, but when Lu Hanzhi asked, she burst into tears and said: "Cousin, over there There was trouble and many people died!"

Lu Hanzhi didn't have the chance to ask the secret guards what happened, but if Cheng Junyue took the children out, they would naturally be followed by the secret guards. If something happened under such circumstances, it must not be a trivial matter.Lu Hanzhi had previously asked why the little emperor's grandson was like this, so why was the street still peaceful and lively? He secretly thought that he was traveling in private without identifying himself. Now it seems that he is just far away and the impact has not spread here.

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you come back fine?" Lu Hanzhi comforted Ye Rong and asked about the situation, "Why did the trouble happen? Could it be that someone is seeking revenge?"

Ye Rong couldn't help but recall what she saw at that time. She heard that there was a fight and someone died. Of course she was scared, but she couldn't help but be curious, not to mention that there was Cheng Junyou who ran fast and was very curious. They chased her. Cheng Junyou walked closer.Recalling that situation, I could only feel the large swaths of red in front of my eyes. I almost fell down at that time, and there were comments from others in my ears.

"It is said that a great benevolent man invited a theater troupe to perform in the street. People who came and went could watch the opera without spending money. Today, the opera was performed as usual. As a result, enemies came to seek revenge. Not to mention that the stage was overturned. Those People were carrying knives, and theatergoers were unprepared, so many people became victims of the knife." Ye Rong did not witness the situation at that time, but the tragic scene alone was shocking enough. She could have just gone out to play. I feel excited, and now I just want to go home early, so I feel safe at home.

Lu Hanzhi saw that Ye Rong was holding her knees and was still in panic. He didn't notice that there was another person in the carriage. The little emperor grandson was still sleeping. Lu Hanzhi simply didn't mention it. He poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Rong to warm her hands and comfort her. He said to her: "Drink a glass of water to warm yourself. Now that you are back, you are in your carriage. There are people guarding you around. Don't be afraid."

Warmth came from the palm of her hand. Ye Rong held the cup and took a sip. The warmth brought by the hot tea seemed to make people feel more relaxed.

Lu Hanzhi originally wanted to ask about the situation, but seeing Ye Rong like this, he couldn't bear to ask anymore. He thought that he should wait until he went back to ask the person who brought the little emperor grandson back, or ask Ning Guogong to send someone to check. Thinking like this, he hoped If you drive the carriage faster, you can get back to the house earlier.
