Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 299 The King Is Dead (3)
Luo Jinxing calmed down and said, "Tell me, how did people escape, and why didn't they find out until now!"

The army commander said: "The only one who escaped was the third concubine, and the second wife, Lian Xiangyuan, is still in the mansion until now. Because today's son is getting married, the third prince was ordered by the king to go out of the mansion to congratulate, but it didn't take long after he arrived. The second lady was crying and wanted to come to him. I couldn't wait, she was about to hang herself at the gate of the mansion. I was worried that she would be in danger, so I surrounded her to persuade her. I guess the third concubine slipped out of the mansion at that time. At that time the villains didn't pay attention, until just now when they heard that something happened to the king and was killed by the third prince, the villain went into the mansion to check, and found that the third concubine was no longer in the mansion, and asked the second lady, but she didn't tell the truth , the villain is worried that something will go wrong again, so he hastened to report to the prince!"

Luo Jinxing said angrily: "Why are you so careless! Where is Lian Xiangyuan now?!"

The army commander said: "It's still in the third prince's mansion."

Luo Jinxing was in a hurry to go to the palace to handle the funeral of the King of Northern Liao, stood up and said, "Go and bring her here immediately, let the concubine interrogate her, and then deal with it according to the concubine's wishes!"

Seeing that he didn't deal with him immediately, the commander of the army hurriedly said: "Yes, my son, the villain will go back and detain him!"

After speaking, he got up and ran out.

Luo Jinxing got up and said to Xu Lin, Xu Che and An Guang who were following behind: "Xu Lin can follow me into the palace, Xu Che and An Guang stay here to listen to the concubine's orders."

Xu Che replied, "Yes, my son."

Luo Jinxing took Xu Che into the palace, An Guang went into the inner house and invited Xianglai out.

After Xianglai came out, she found out about Lian Xiangjin's escape. Combining with what Luo Qianlie said earlier, Xianglai analyzed that they must have devised other conspiracies, so she said to Xu Che, "Interrogating Lian Xiangyuan is not a big deal. You can take someone to Lu Mansion immediately to see if Lian Xiangjin is there, if she is here, bring her back, if she is not, then she will bring Lian Xiangyin to me!"

Xu Che replied: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

Immediately after finishing speaking, ask people to go out.

Not long after he went out, the commander of the army had escorted Lian Xiangyuan over.

Xianglai sat in the middle and looked at her. Although Lian Xiangyuan was not beautiful in the past, she was still somewhat pretty. In addition, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. Even though her status was not so noble, she was still a young lady with delicate skin and tender flesh. But now she is fine. , Not only is the face dirty and messy, but the face is also swollen, and the hands are rough and dry.

It turned out that since the closure of the mansion, Luo Qian and Lian Xiangjin have used her as envoys to do everything.Even Xiangyuan used to be just like them, lazy and hardworking, she didn't know how to do anything, even if they forced her even more now, Luo Qian and Lian Xiangjin thought that being lazy was against them, so they teamed up if they had nothing to do After cleaning her up, Lian Xiangjin's face was the result of being beaten for not washing Lian Xiangjin's clothes yesterday.

At this time, I saw Xianglai sitting there gracefully and luxuriously, surrounded by servants and maidservants, far more ostentatious than Lian Xiangjin in the past.

I thought I would win over Lian Xiangjin at the beginning, thinking that I could get some glory from her, but I didn't expect to end up in this situation. However, this bumpkin who was looked down upon by others became the princess of the world, and she will soon be the princess of Beiliao!
Thinking of this, she regretted so much, she cried and threw herself on the ground, crying, "Third sister, third sister, please save me! I don't want to die, I don't want to be implicated by Luo Qian and Lian Xiangjin!"

Xianglai sat there looking at her, supposedly even Xiangyuan was not a person worthy of pity, at the beginning she often expressed her ideas behind Lian Xiangjin's back, but seeing her so miserable now, she couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity , Said: "If you don't want to be implicated by them, just tell Lian Xiangjin's whereabouts and purpose, and I can save you in front of the prince, and save you from the death penalty!"

Lian Xiangyuan cried: "But I really don't know, Lian Xiangjin only said to let me help her escape from the house, she will find her aunt to find a way, she will rescue me, and Luo Qian will be fine!"

Seeing that what she said did not seem to be a lie, Xiang Lai said: "Are you a pig brain? I believe this. Lian Chongxue has been thrown into limbo long ago. How could Lian Xiangjin come to find her!"

Lian Xiangyuan wept and said: "I thought they had other ways, Luo Qian came out first, she went out again, and seeing her aunt again, maybe she would be saved, who would have thought, who would have thought that they would do such a thing... woo woo ..."

Xianglai was tired and anxious all day long, and said with a pale face, "Unexpected! I will tell you that if I didn't expect it, now not only Luo Qian poisoned the king and General Qin at the same time, but also poisoned himself to death. Xueye has just been executed by the crown prince, Lian Xiangjin has no one to rely on, if she wants to seek help, she can only turn to Lian Xiangyin!"

Lian Xiangyuan stopped crying, and said: "Yes, it must be Lian Xiangyin. I heard that Lian Xiangjin and Luo Qian said that if anyone wants to speak for them, it must be the Lu family!"

Seeing that it was really impossible to ask anything from her, Xianglai said to the soldiers: "Get her out first, and decide how to send her out when the son has time."

When Lian Xiangyuan saw that Xianglai pushed herself out without giving a proper answer, she shouted in panic: "Third sister, third sister, please save me! Don't let the prince kill me, everything they do is against me. It doesn't matter..."

As soon as Lian Xiangjin was dragged out here, the person who went to Lu Mansion to track down Lian Wujin's whereabouts had already returned, and came in to report to Xianglai: "My concubine, I will find out about Lian Xiangjin's whereabouts. It is said that she entered the inner house through the back door of the Lu Mansion this morning, talked with Lian Xiangyin, the young wife of the Lu Mansion, and the two left the mansion together not long after, and have not returned until now!"

As soon as Xianglai heard this, she knew that the two must have escaped from the city, and asked again: "What about the other people in Lu's residence?"

The soldier said: "The rest of the Lu family fled after the news of the king's accident spread, but the city gate there has been closed, so they are probably still hiding in the city."

Xiang Lai said: "Immediately search and arrest the whole city, and dig three feet to find people, especially Lu Fusheng's children and mother!"

Lu Fusheng and his father, Lu Hong, are both in the southern border army now. Lian Xiangjin and Lian Xiangyin fled hastily long before the incident happened. It is very likely that Luo Qian and Lian Xiangjin had planned it long ago, that is to say After the news that Luo Qian poisoned the King of the Northern Liao Dynasty came out, the southern border was likely to mutiny.

The soldiers went out again after taking orders today.

Xianglai thought for a while and felt that such an urgent matter could not be delayed anyway, and she had to let Luo Jinxing know as soon as possible so that she could deal with it in advance, so she took An Guang and Xu Che straight to the palace.

The death of the king of Beiliao was so sudden that the relevant ministries were completely unprepared, and immediately fell into chaos after receiving the news.

The country cannot be without a master, so while preparing for the funeral, it is also necessary to prepare for the new king's enthronement ceremony. Officials from the Ministry of Rites were called into the palace overnight.

When Xianglai came, the officials and eunuchs were shuttling back and forth, running back and forth to report various things.
