The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 154 The little girl cheats the male protagonist again

Du Qian and others were preparing to go back in front of Wangyue Tower.

"Brother Du! Help." Ning Xianhe rushed over exaggeratedly and hugged Du Qian.

Du Qian suddenly had goosebumps, and quickly kicked Ning Xian and the guy away, "What are you doing, let go. What do grown men say when they hug each other in public? Also, why are you here? ?”

“Hey, I was here last night. Didn’t the little princess mention it to you?”

“Who do you think you are, that I want my sister to mention you?”

"Yes, I'm not worthy... ugh, but what you said is so unbrotherly. I decided to break up with you for one day after I get back. Do you know? Your friend almost died last night!"

 Ning Xianhe's artificiality has no literati baggage at all.

Du Qian was glad that he hadn't eaten anything, otherwise he would have vomited it out. He suspected that this kid was so frightened last night that he had a mental illness.

Ning Xianhe's intention was very clear. He wanted to return to Beijing with Du Qian with his classmates, and he had someone to take care of him on the way.

Du Qian did not refuse, but he provided his own vehicle.

 Not long after, Du Qian and others set off.

Du Wan woke up once on the way and fell asleep again knowing that she was still on the way.

 When Du Wan woke up again, he was already in Yulingyuan, and the sun was rising very high outside.

Ningqin and the other maids immediately got busy when they heard that she had woken up.

Du Wan was still sleepy and stood up listlessly. Ningqin helped her get dressed, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair into a beautiful bun.

When breakfast was served and Du Wan sat down at the dining table, she finally woke up.

 Everything last night was like a dream.

Du Wan was so excited when she thought that she finally found the real murderer. She picked up the bowl and drank the mixed porridge, "Ningqin! Ningqin!"

“Princess, what’s the matter?” Ningqin came over quickly.

 “What’s the gossip out there today?”

"This is a big deal." Ning Qin has been hanging out with Du Wan for a long time, and her tone of voice is not 100% or 70% imitated. "Nowadays, people are discussing the Wangyue Tower outside. I heard that they are talking about Wangyue Tower. Many people died..."

Ningqin looked at the princess with bright eyes.

She knew that the princess went there yesterday.

The maidservant Luoqi waiting next to her was also busy listening attentively.

Du Wan quickly ate two bowls of porridge, then touched her belly, "A lot of people died. What else did you hear?"

"I also heard that several wealthy families in the capital had lost their servants. Many people were also arrested and put in prison. Now the Wangyue Tower has been sealed off by the imperial guards."

 “Oh. That’s expected.”

 It’s nothing useful, maybe some things haven’t spread yet. There were so many people in the lobby last night that it was impossible to hide it.

 …

 Dingbeihou Mansion.

 In the study room of the main courtyard.

Dingbeihou went to court, but Xie Zhang did not go to the Imperial College today.

 Send someone out early in the morning to find out the news.

 As a result, big bad news came, and he was not given any room for maneuver.

Last night, just in case, he privately used a flying pigeon to notify Huang Lian outside. He believed that with Huang Lian's shrewdness, he would take precautions as soon as possible after receiving the news.

 Unexpectedly, what I heard today was all bad news!

 Huang Lian was caught!

He actually failed to assassinate the princess and was caught red-handed? !

 It’s over!

Xie Zhang sat in front of his desk and wrote word after word, but he couldn't calm down.

Each time he finished writing a set of words, he tore up the previous set of words.

At this time, the ground was covered with shredded paper. Thinking of Wangyue Tower, which I had run for many years, everything was gone overnight.

Except for Huang Lian, no one knew that Wangyue Tower was the private property of Xie Zhang, not even the Marquis of Dingbei.

 Today it was seized by the government.

Another Xie family secret guard hurriedly came over to report, "Master, we found out that Miss Huang is locked up in the Imperial City Si Yamen and is still unconscious."

"Incompetent bungler!"

 Xie Zhang always thought that Huang Lian was a smart woman. Like the snow lotus on the mountain, pure and elegant, uncontested.

 Such a woman made him feel at ease. There were even some things that she would not avoid, including the business and influence of Wangyue Tower. Later, she said that she could help him take care of it if she had nothing to do. Xie Zhang agreed when it was time to hire someone.

 Under her care, Wangyue Tower is indeed in good order, and its income has been increasing.

However, he never knew that she actually had a grudge against the princess?

Xie Zhang asked with a cold voice: "Didn't you say yesterday that Huang Lian and the princess didn't know each other?"

"Master, please forgive me. I have asked people to investigate carefully. It is true that the princess and Miss Huang have never interacted." The Xie family secret guard knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

 “These are all mortal enemies, and they haven’t met yet? Who would believe it?”

 “This…” is indeed strange.

 What Xie Zhang was really angry about was not that his subordinates made mistakes in their investigation.

Yesterday morning, Xie Zhang learned from his cousin that someone had purchased Du Wan's murder for 200,000 taels of gold and gave him a deposit. At that time, he remembered that Huang Lian spent a large amount of money some time ago.

That sum of money belonged to Huang Lian himself, and Xie Zhang had no right to interfere.

 Strictly speaking, Huang Lian is not considered Xie Zhang's subordinate, but is similar to a confidante.

He went to ask Huang Lian if he had any grudge against the princess?

Huang Lian denied it.

 And he foolishly believed it.

Unexpectedly, the other party now gave him a blow in the head!

The crimes involved in Wangyue Tower are not trivial, including assassinating the princess, raising dead soldiers, etc. No matter which one is involved, it is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Xie Zhang did not dare to have anything to do with Wangyue Tower now. "Have you cleared up the follow-up matters?"

“Master, it’s basically done. Only Miss Huang’s side..."

 “Her side needs to consider the long term.”

Xie Zhang did not want to go to rescue people, but considered whether to silence him.

 But, it’s difficult!

Pei Hao will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him, and maybe he will deliberately expose his flaws and invite you to put him in a trap.

The secret guard of the Xie family lowered his head and said, "I heard that Miss Huang's condition has worsened. Doctor Zhou said that she may not be able to wake up this time."

 “Is this so…”

Xie Zhang thought that Huang Lian had a heart problem, and suddenly he felt very complicated. "If you do something rashly now, you will come to give people excuses. Let's stay put for now."

“I feel that even if Miss Huang wakes up, she will not betray the master. Miss Huang likes the master very much.”

 “…” Xie Zhang was silent.

Like it?

What does it mean to be liked?

 Even if I like it, it probably won’t be much. Otherwise, I would not have considered him at all and ruined his big event.

 …

the other side.

 Du Wan after breakfast.

After asking about his family, Du Qian went to the palace immediately. Du Qian heard that he had also left home early. So he went to the main courtyard to see the princess.

When she saw her daughter coming over alive and kicking, with a rosy face, a tender pink mouth, and big moist eyes, the eldest princess felt relieved.

"Mom! Have you missed your daughter?" Du Wan sneaked up behind the eldest princess and said, "I'll give you a pat on the shoulder."
