Because the only two masters of the Princess Mansion, Princess Qinghe and Princess Danyang, mother and daughter, are both afraid of the cold, so they live very close to each other.
After leaving Princess Danyang's Qishuang Pavilion and walking up the corridor, it only takes half a stick of incense to reach Princess Qinghe's Mingxia Residence. If you go straight through the small garden in the middle, it won't take half an hour.
Not to mention, running at full speed straight through the small garden, it was almost in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Danyang and Zizhu walked out of the path, they saw several figures hurriedly coming towards another corridor leading directly from the second gate to Mingxia Residence.
"Follow me."
Danyang only had time to give Zizhu a few words before he walked quickly with a dignified posture but without slowing down at all, and arrived in front of the Black Lacquer Courtyard of Mingxia Residence ahead of those few people.
But after she stepped onto the stone steps, she didn't raise her hand to knock on the door. She just stood still, calmed her breath, and turned around.
The flowing movements took less than a breath, and the next moment, when Danyang calmly looked up at the corridor, he saw the housekeeper leading several powerful generals wearing armor and swords, walking towards him.
Sun Tingzhong, the chief steward of the Princess Mansion, was leading the way for everyone while meditating secretly. Only when he got closer did he realize that there was someone in front of Mingxia's residence, and he was one of the only two masters in the manor!
"Princess?! You, why are you here?"
Butler Sun felt guilty for a moment, but calmed down after thinking about it.
Although the person in front of me is the master, he is still young, ignorant, overly pampered and timid.
It's not difficult for him to fool him.
But who knows, before Sun Tingzhong could speak, he believed that he had been frightened by the powerful and powerful soldiers. Princess Danyang, who probably just wanted to escape or hide, spoke first.
"Who are these people? Steward Sun secretly led outsiders into the second house without any orders. How brave he is!"
Danyang has not fully grown yet, and is only as tall as Sun Butler's chest, and neither of them is as wide as one of the generals behind Sun Butler.
But for such a skinny, petite little girl, her final cold shout made the five-foot-tall men behind Butler Sun suddenly shudder.
Butler Sun was short of breath, but at this moment he was suppressed by Danyang's momentum. The words he was about to reply to the eldest princess slipped out smoothly.
"The villain is really not arrogant. They are the generals of the Imperial Forest Army who came to the house to help investigate the gangsters."
"Well, a shocking murder just happened outside our house! The prime minister of the dynasty was assassinated by gangsters on his way to court. There was a river of blood in front of the gate! There were enough dead in total..."
In fact, Sun Tingzhong came back to his senses as soon as he said this. But because he doesn't take Danyang seriously, he just treats her as a little kitten without teeth.
I also thought that since I had opened my mouth, I would simply say the whole draft once, and then say it a second time later, it would be smoother and more expressive.
Because of this, Butler Sun was so absorbed in himself that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all. Even when the soldiers who were accustomed to licking blood from their swords instinctively sensed the crisis and unconsciously pressed their hands on the notch of the sword hilt, he still unrestrainedly exaggerated and exaggerated the bloody scenes.
"enough."
"...The river of blood, the fishy smell, huh? Did the princess say anything?"
Sun Tingzhong was getting excited when he suddenly heard two words that were cold to the bone. Although he didn't hear it clearly, his whole body trembled and he finally stopped his tongue.
Danyang looked at Sun Tingzhong expressionlessly, his eyes were filled with coldness, and there was already murderous intent in his eyes.
Although Butler Sun had never experienced murderous aura, he was not so dull as to be unaware of the current atmosphere that was as stiff as a frozen lake and the compelling aura of Princess Danyang.
"...Well, Your Highness, you see such an important matter. You'd better ask the villain to take someone to report to the eldest princess, so that the generals can search it immediately and protect the family home..."
Danyang turned a deaf ear to Sun Tingzhong's words and even turned away his eyes before he spoke, looking coldly at the burly men behind him.
"Are you nameless? Or do you have no ears, or are you deaf?"
For a moment, the people who were stared at could not help grinding their teeth secretly.
Although they were in a hurry to handle the case and had not heard much about the eldest princess and princess of this household, they found Danyang's words extremely harsh. But after all, because the other party was a titled nobleman, and he saw such an extraordinary momentum, he didn't dare to ignore it too much.
The two faced each other for a moment, and the leading man with a beard frowned and strode forward, cupped his fists and said:
"I am Hongze, a fourth-grade Zhonglang general. He is in charge of the imperial guards on the left side of the imperial palace and assists in leading the palace gate guards. The others are all subordinates and subordinates of my subordinates. Time is short and there is no need to introduce them one by one. If there are any mistakes, the princess will just take care of them. Just look for it down there.”
As Hong Ze spoke, he looked at the young but elegant girl in front of him.
After revealing his identity, he simply did not go to find the rightful owner and directly spoke to Danyang:
"It is true that a murder occurred on Qingxing Street outside Zun's Mansion. It is my duty to search all the houses along the way to catch the murderer. Although it is offensive, it can be regarded as eliminating danger for everyone in the house. I wonder if the princess has done the right thing? If so, It also saves me from waiting for rough men to disturb the eldest princess again."
When Butler Sun saw this, he rolled his eyes and interrupted before he could finish his words:
"Princess! You don't know something. If the assassin is really hiding in our mansion, it will cause little harm to anyone. If one of them turns out to be deliberately harboring the murderer in the mansion, then the prince-in-law who is guarding the border and the eldest princess in the mansion will not be able to survive!" "
Danyang suddenly laughed when he heard this.
The bright smile with curved eyebrows instantly brightened the dark night.
However, such a bright smile was really weird at this time, and even made those who saw it shudder.
Danyang was too lazy to care about the eyes and thoughts of the people around him. He just turned to look at Sun Tingzhong and praised with a smile:
"Steward Sun is really thoughtful and loyal."
When Sun Tingzhong heard this, his heart that had been holding on to him immediately fell back to its original position. He narrowed his eyes and smiled and was about to bow and say goodbye.
But when he bent down halfway, he heard a cold snort coming from above his head.
"I just don't know whose loyal servant Butler Sun is?"
After finishing speaking, Danyang turned around, looked at Hong Ze and others, and said neatly:
"Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know when the imperial guard started to have to take care of the errands of the capital government? How can catching thieves become their job?"
After glancing at the expressions of several big men who blushed in embarrassment or had wandering eyes, Danyang softened his expression and changed his tone with a smile.
"Of course, even if a murder case occurs, having many people come to help makes people feel more at ease. However, now there are only two female dependents, my mother and I, in the princess mansion. It is still dark, so please be gentle. Don’t rush in and ransack your home.”
When Hong Ze was worried about being delayed and getting into trouble, he didn't know that things would turn around so quickly.
Seeing that things were about to happen, he hurriedly raised his fists and was about to respond.
Unexpectedly, the little girl in front of him turned her head and commanded behind him:
"So, I have to ask Nanny Zhou to go there in person, and then choose a few reliable people to guide the generals and deliver the news."
