Aunt Guo lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about how to reply to An Hongshao's words. After a moment, she said in a low voice, "Young Madam, please remember that Young Master Zhang, who is in the same guardhouse with our Second Young Master, has just received the news. It is said that he behaved inappropriately in front of the temple and was killed by the Holy Emperor with a rod."
After Grandma Guo finished speaking, Lian's mother's tears fell and she couldn't stop them anymore.
An Hongshao took a breath, how could such a smart person just disappear?
I still remember that when we got married, Lian held a banquet at home as scheduled. He loved the excitement the most and called people at the door of the inner courtyard.
I also remember that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he secretly followed Lian Ruqi. He was a very lively person.
That's it, gone?
Suddenly, I had an unbelievable illusion, "But, did I remember it wrong?"
How could something happen to Zhang Ye?
Grandma Guo shook her head, "The news has been sent to the Zhang family, there can be no mistakes."
While they were chatting happily, the people from the guardhouse sent Zhang Ye's body over. This matter was a certainty.
Logically speaking, the people in the guardhouse are different from the maids serving people below, and they cannot be killed at will. You are not cruel today, so why are you suddenly attacking the people below?
Compared with Zhang Ye, Lian's mother was more worried about Lian Ruzhi, who was both in the guardhouse. Did he also live such a life of fear every day?
In other words, the Holy One was angry and only killed Zhang Ye, but he punished others?
Even if he didn't come back as scheduled, they were worried about the affairs in the palace and couldn't do anything.
An Hongshao's heart was in turmoil. Even though he had the memories of his previous life and knew that nothing serious would happen now, he still couldn't help but feel panicked. After all, many things were different now.
The handkerchief was stirred around and around until it could no longer be stirred, and then it stopped, "Don't worry, mother, nothing will happen to my husband."
These words were meant to comfort Lian's mother and also to comfort herself.
After all, Zhang Ye still can't compare with Lian Jiushi.
During lunch, no one had any appetite after all, so they waited for Lian's father to come back before getting the news. After all, the Zhang family worked under Lian's father, so they were quicker to get the news than others.
Now we know that only Zhang Ye was involved in the accident. Lian Ruqi was not around when the Holy Father lost his temper, and the incident did not affect Lian Ruqi.
After receiving this news, An Hongshao was somewhat relieved.
However, she couldn't help but miss that Lian Ruzhi was supposed to be back the next day. An Hongshao was anxious and couldn't wait to see Lian Ruzhi, so she had someone hitch a carriage and she went to the palace gate in person to go home as scheduled.
Because he came out at noon as scheduled, An Hongshao didn't have to go out too early. He walked through the bustling crowd and walked a little further to the palace gate.
The solemn and solemn palace makes people feel awe when looking from a distance.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and An Hongshao looked up. He heard that the big red palace door would only be opened when the queen of the middle palace was getting married.
Finally, I watched the side door open next to me.
An Hongshao sent Dongqing to watch outside. No matter how anxious she was, she couldn't show up in public and let Lian Ruqi's face get blackened.
Lian Ruzhi rode out on a tall horse as planned, followed by many people from the guardhouse, all of whom had serious expressions, which was very suitable for the high palace walls.
Lian Ruqi was walking in the front. When Lu You raised his hand and pointed to the side of the carriage where Dongqing was standing, Lian Ruqi's eyebrows relaxed at this moment.
"Brother Lian, is the golden house hiding his beauty?" The person behind him rode a few steps forward, laughing and joking with Lian as expected.
Lu You then glared at the other party, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the young lady."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all stared at the carriage curiously, pointing to Dongqing standing next to her, "Sister-in-law's outfit is quite strange."
Lu You couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Everyone has a strange look in their eyes. The young lady is the granddaughter of Mrs. Li. She is very strict about etiquette. How can she show her face outside?"
He must be waiting inside the carriage.
Lian Ruqi pulled on the reins and approached the carriage little by little, with a somewhat proud expression on his face.
Listening to the compliments from the people on the left and right, they had such a good relationship as a young couple, and they couldn't help but smile like they were worthless.
When the curtain of the carriage opened, Lian Ruzhi jumped in, and the curtain was lowered to block the inquiring sight.
An Hongshao didn't sleep well last night because there was something on her mind.
Lian Ruqi was still smiling. After he sat down and looked at An Hongshao carefully, his face darkened little by little, "Is there someone bullying you at home?"
This is it, have you cried?
His heart suddenly lifted up, who would dare to waste time on someone he couldn't bear to let go of, "But my aunt?"
Thinking about it carefully, except for Lian Yun, no one else in the Lian family could really do this.
An Hongshao shook his head repeatedly, raised Lian Ruqi's arm and looked up and down. Seeing that Lian Ruqi seemed fine, he couldn't help but throw himself into Lian Ruqi's arms, "As long as you're fine."
Lian Ruqi put his arm around An Hongshao and patted her back gently, "What happened?" His voice became softer unconsciously.
An Hongshao twitched and said, "I heard something happened to Zhang Ye."
Lian Ruqi's expression changed slightly, "If he dies, what are you reluctant to part with?"
An Hongshao didn't think much and patted Lian Ruqi on the shoulder, "How can you still be in the mood to joke after what time has it been? Are you injured?"
Seeing that An Hongshao was extremely worried about him, Lian Ruqi's expression softened, "I'm very safe."
Listening to An Hongshao's words, even his mother was very worried at home when something happened to Zhang Ye.
Lian Ruzhi chuckled, "People die every day in the palace, but this time you happened to see them."
Even though I had seen this kind of thing many times in the palace, I didn't even take it to heart. Presumably, even his father knew this, otherwise he would not have allowed Lian Yanyu to enter the palace. This is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones, where ordinary people can stay.
Listening to Lian Ruqi's indifferent words, An Hongshao thought that Lian Ruqi was used to seeing life and death, and felt even more sorry for Lian Ruqi. Now thinking about it, it is actually safer to take the imperial examination. Everyone wants to take a shortcut, but who knows this path? Instead, it is full of thorns.
Feeling An Hongshao's hand exerting slight force, Lian Ruqi raised the corners of his lips slightly, but his voice was a little low, "Zhang Ye died because he talked too much."
Even Yanyu can tell that there is an election today, shouldn't the officials in the court know better? Especially now that the Chinese New Year is over, everyone is writing to pray for the election of the harem.
The Holy Emperor wanted to do a great job, but he didn't care about the harem, so he just talked about it.
The Holy Emperor was already being very noisy by his subordinates, but who knew that Zhang Ye was chatting about this matter with the people in the guardhouse in private. Anyone who knew him knew that Zhang Ye was just a man with a big mouth and no serious thoughts.
But the Holy One didn't know it. His joking words happened to be heard by the Holy One, and he became angry and became murderous.
In the palace, this kind of thing is not new, so Lian Ruzhi can treat it as normal. Maybe he will think of the once bright young man when he is drinking.
