Let’s talk about Ling Yun again.
He took Princess Huanyu with him and left Feiyun Villa overnight, rushing towards the capital in a hurry.
Feiyun Villa is less than a hundred miles away from the capital; and at this time, the two of them were eager to return home and left in a hurry, so they arrived at a small town outside the capital the next afternoon.
Just because the current situation is still very complicated; and given the current situation of the two of them, it is not appropriate to appear openly in public.
Because almost everyone in the capital thought that the two of them were dead; just imagine, if the two of them suddenly appeared in public, wouldn't everyone be shocked and think they were ghosts?
If it is used by some people with ulterior motives at this time, once things get fermented, the consequences will be disastrous!
Therefore, the first problem facing Ling Yun and Huan Yu now is: how to find a safe and reliable person in the capital who can introduce them to the emperor.
Then he would explain in front of the emperor the causes and consequences of what happened in the past few days, so that the truth about the princess' kidnapping that day would be revealed to the world.
Only in this way can the unjust injustice that Mr. Lu has suffered be washed away and Mr. Lu be saved from prison; only in this way can Ling Yun, Huan Yu and all those involved in the case be given justice and justice!
So in order to avoid attracting others' attention and causing unnecessary trouble, Ling Yun and Huan Yu disguised themselves, changed their appearance, and found an inn in a remote place nearby to settle down in an extremely low-key manner.
After dinner, the two of them sat at the table, facing the flickering candlelight, and discussed the next step together.
Huan Yu's bright eyes turned and she suddenly had an idea, "Brother Ling, why don't you go to our palace tonight to ask the housekeeper Zhao Renyi for help, and then let him introduce you to my father to explain the whole story, and then make plans? "
Ling Yun frowned and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Renyi? Is this person reliable?..."
Huan Yu said confidently: "Don't worry about this! Butler Zhao has been following my father since he was young. He has stayed in our palace longer than I am! He has a good character, loyalty and integrity, and He values love and justice - in short, just rest assured about his character!"
Ling Yun faced the firm and persistent gaze of Princess Huanyu, thought about it quietly, and finally made up his mind.
His clear eyes flashed, and he nodded resolutely: "Okay! According to the princess, I will go to Jinling Palace to find him tonight!..."
Ling Yun is worthy of being the former bodyguard commander of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. He is decisive and resolute in his work. As long as something is decided upon, he will do it immediately without any delay.
After dinner that night, Ling Yun returned to his room and neatly changed into a tight-fitting black night clothes. In order to be more appropriate and cautious, he covered his face with a black scarf; then he raised his hand and grabbed the clothes on the table. The fish-green sword went out.
At this time, Princess Huanyu came out of the room next door to see him off; she grabbed his arm with both hands and said softly with a hint of reluctance and worry: "Brother Ling, you must be careful! ... "
Ling Yun smiled at her and said: "Princess, just relax, stay here well, don't go anywhere, just wait for my good news!"
As he spoke, he cast an encouraging and comforting look at her, which was filled with deep affection; then he gently pushed her hand away, turned around and walked out, integrating his strong and tall figure little by little. In the dark and deep night...
Jinling Palace. The housekeeper Zhao Renyi worked hard in the house all day, and it was very late before he dragged his tired body back to his room.
He simply washed up and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the back room.
He couldn't help being startled and thought: Could it be that I am a few years old and my ears are no longer working properly? Did I hear wrongly? Otherwise, who would hide in my house out of boredom in the middle of the night?
Thinking of this, he boldly asked softly into the back room: "Is there anyone inside? Who is inside?..."
It was quiet inside and there was no response.
Zhao Renyi gently stroked his chest, took a long breath, and said to himself: "I'm just saying, I must have heard wrong, who would come to my place at this time, and not even say hello?" It would be too rude to hit him!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the curtain lifted, and a tall, masked man in black walked out of the back room in a hurry.
Zhao Renyi couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could scream, the man had already struck like lightning, raising his hands swiftly and closing his mute acupoints and several large acupoints on his body.
Zhao Renyi immediately became stiff and dumbfounded, unable to speak or move.
At this time, he was so frightened that his heart was pounding, his whole body was shaking, and he thought: Where did this person come from? What are you doing hiding in my house mysteriously? well! It seems that my life is not enough! …
After the visitor controlled Zhao Renyi's acupuncture points, he was not in a hurry to talk to him. Instead, he turned around and walked outside. He checked around the surroundings and confirmed that there was nothing unusual before returning calmly. He came back and stood in front of Zhao Renyi again. His clear eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Butler Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Renyi suddenly heard that the person's voice was very familiar, and he couldn't help but feel surprised. He wanted to ask him who he was but couldn't speak. He just winked anxiously, which was really funny.
The masked man in black smiled slightly, slowly raised his hand, took off the scarf on his face, revealing his handsome and deep face.
The person who came was none other than Ling Yun.
When Zhao Renyi saw it, he felt his head pounding and almost fainted. For a moment, he felt that his mind went blank, and his thoughts seemed to be stagnant. He was stunned for a long time and couldn't think about it.
His eyes widened in horror, and he looked at the man standing in front of him again. Yes, this person is indeed Ling Yun! But, how is this possible?
A few days ago, when someone delivered two white wood coffins to the Jinling Palace, he and his family members Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang were the first to discover and arrange for people to carry the coffins to the palace, and he also personally handled the subsequent matters. of.
He would never forget the horrific scene he saw when everyone opened the coffin lid. At that moment, he felt dizzy and almost fainted; and that moment became the shadow and nightmare of his life...
Now when I think back to the situation at that time, I still have vivid memories and lingering fears...
But now, he suddenly saw Ling Yun standing in front of him, talking to him calmly, how could he not be shocked?
He was thinking: It seems that there really are ghosts in this world. Commander Ling and the princess died in mysterious circumstances, but now it must be Ling Yun's ghost who comes out in the middle of the night to find someone to avenge or claim his life.
I also know that Commander Ling died unjustly, but I was not the one who harmed you. Why are you here looking for me in the middle of the night? …
Zhao Renyi thought a lot, but unfortunately his acupuncture points were restrained and he couldn't say a word.
Ling Yun saw that Zhao Renyi's face was as pale as earth, and his whole body was just trembling. He wanted to say something but couldn't, so he grinned anxiously and sweated all over his face. He couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Steward Zhao, I know what you are thinking. First of all, what I want to tell you is: I am not a ghost, I am a human being, so please don’t be afraid.”
Zhao Renyi glanced at him again in confusion, wasn't he a ghost? real?
As if reading his thoughts, Ling Yun repeated: "Yes, I'm not a ghost. If you don't believe me, just look, I have a shadow." As he spoke, he raised his hand deliberately and calmly He walked around in front of Zhao Renyi.
Zhao Renyi's eyes moved back and forth following his every move. Sure enough, under the flickering candlelight projection, he could clearly see the real shadow of the other party, and at the same time he could also faintly smell the faint scent emanating from the other party. , grass-like aroma.
These breaths lingered around him faintly, real and warm, making his originally throbbing and trembling heart settle down little by little.
Ling Yun saw that Zhao Renyi's expression slowly softened, and knew that he believed what he said, so he continued: "Not only am I not dead, but the princess is also fine now. It is the princess who personally arranged for me tonight I came to the palace to ask for your help."
The princess is not dead either? ...Zhao Renyi's originally gloomy eyes immediately jumped out with a hint of joy.
Ling Yun naturally understood what he was thinking, so he nodded and said: "Yes, the princess is fine now. Housekeeper, do you want to know what is going on? Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly tell you the cause and effect of the matter. "
