Chapter 205 Death News
In a remote and uninhabited courtyard in the backyard of Ciguang Temple, a richly dressed girl was standing under a plum tree, silently lost in thought.

Suddenly a man in black appeared and knelt down in front of the girl.

"How, did you get it?"

The man in black shook his head, "Before my subordinates could make a move, the princess of the Duke of Zhen was knocked off the cliff by a man in gray who appeared suddenly."

Hearing this news, the girl raised a smile on her face.

Although I don't know who got involved, it's not important. What's important is that Xiao Jinyue can be removed smoothly.

She had liked him silently in her heart for more than ten years, and she couldn't be more clear about her own feelings.

Since Jiji's year, her mother has been looking for outstanding men in Kyoto for her.

But she didn't like any of them.

Because she only had him in her heart, and only he was worthy of her identity.

A long time ago, she made up her mind that she would not marry unless he was the only one.

He didn't come to propose marriage for a long time. Originally, she planned to confess her feelings to him when he came back from the border.

But who knows, good luck tricks people,

Although he returned to Beijing, he was poisoned and married the concubine.

But she has admired him for so many years, even if he is disabled, she will marry him.

Now that Xiao Jinyue fell from such a high cliff, she would definitely die.

The eldest concubine of the Duke of Zhen's mansion can only be her.

Seeing that the man in black was still kneeling in front of him, unable to get up for a long time, the girl frowned, "Is there anything else?"

The head of the man in black lowered even more, "The prince of Zhen Guo also jumped off the cliff in order to save his concubine, and his life and death are unknown now."

"what?"

The smile on the girl's face quickly disappeared, her expression was ferocious, and she slapped the man in black with her backhand.

……

Lu Yu, the third girl, and the others hurried back to the Ciguang Temple from the back mountain with the maid, but timidly stopped in front of the wing where Mrs. Tai was resting.

This is because he is afraid of bringing back the bad news and bearing the wrath of Mrs. Tai.

Among the girls in the third room, apart from the married eldest girl Lu Huimin, the second girl, Lu Yu, is naturally the one with the highest status here.Seeing that the younger sisters below lowered their heads and refused to go in, she could only give them a hard look, gritted her teeth and stepped into the wing room.

Mrs. Tai and Chang'an County Lord, as well as the wives and concubines of the second and third bedrooms, were all gossiping. When they saw Lu Yu and the others coming back, they all turned their heads and looked over.

"Grandma, it's not good..."

The smile on Mrs. Tai's face paused, "What happened?"

"My sister-in-law was in the back mountain, and she was knocked off the cliff by a man in gray. In order to save her, my elder brother also jumped off the cliff..."

Madam Tai's complexion changed, she stood up suddenly from the seat, covered her chest with her hands, and shouted with grief, "Brother Ting..."

Xu couldn't bear the blow, Madam Tai fainted before she could finish her sentence, and Nanny Gong next to her was so frightened that she quickly stretched out her hand to support her.

There was an instant chaos in the wing room, Chang'an county lord and several wives rushed towards Mrs. Tai.

"Quickly send someone to inform the abbot, and invite the doctor to come..."

The son and the concubine fell off the cliff, and their life and death are unknown.Mrs. Tai fainted again, and the county lord Chang'an and the other wives just looked around and cried around Mrs. Tai.

When the abbot master heard the news, he brought the monks who knew medical skills from the monastery to give Mrs. Tai acupuncture and moxibustion, and then he woke up.

As soon as Mrs. Tai woke up, she wept with grief.

But after a while, she cheered up again, called Lu Yu and the others over, and after asking clearly what happened to Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue, she immediately stood up.

After Mrs. Tai found the abbot who had just left, she told him what had happened, and then begged the abbot to send some monks to the cliff of the back mountain to help find people.

The prince and concubine of the Duke of Zhen's mansion had such a big incident in the back mountain of Ciguang Temple, the abbot naturally would not stand by and immediately sent the monks out of the temple.

Mrs. Tai asked the maids around her to go out with the monks to search, and sent the young servants to ride back to the mansion, and asked the second master and the others to come and search together with their guards.

Soon, the second and third masters who received the news rushed to Ciguang Temple with their guards.

Mrs. Tai suppressed her grief, took the second master's hand, and asked him to find Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue no matter what, to see people in life and corpses in death.

Following the boy's return to the mansion, the news that the eldest son and concubine of the Zhen Guo mansion fell off the cliff spread all over the capital.

Those who heard the news were all shocked, and many people secretly murmured that they didn't know what kind of bad luck had happened to Zhen Guogong's mansion in the past two years.

First, the son of Duke Zhen was poisoned, and then it was the old Duke's turn to be poisoned. Although the old Duke was awake, he was paralyzed on the bed and could not move.

Now the son of Duke Zhenguo and his concubine fell off the cliff again, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Xiao Pingyuan and Mrs. Xue only knew that something happened to Xiao Jinyue when they heard other people talking about it.

The husband and wife and Xiao Haoqing immediately rushed to the Ciguang Temple with the guards to search together.

Although there are many people looking for it, the back mountain of Ciguang Temple is not only big, but also has many trees, tall and dense weeds, and many wild animals, making it very difficult to find.

Time passed day by day, and everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.

So many people searched for it, but the son of the Duke of Zhen and the concubine of the princess were not alive or dead.

Just when everyone started to give up hope, some guards from Zhen Guogong's mansion found some bitten and tattered clothes.

After identification, a woman recognized that it was somewhat similar to the brocade robe Lu Chengting wore that day.

The guards immediately found Lu Shou, the servant next to Lu Chengting, to identify it. Lu Shou recognized at a glance that it was the brocade robe of the eldest son.

Everyone immediately searched nearby, and not long after, a new discovery was made.

In the deep mountain, there are many broken pieces of cloth scattered messily. These pieces of cloth include Lu Chengting's brocade robe and the dress worn by the crown prince.

Everyone's heart is getting heavier, and many people even have a bad premonition in their hearts.

Shiziye Shizifei fell from such a high cliff, even if she didn't die at that time, she must have been seriously injured.Judging from the gnawing marks on the broken cloth, the two of them might have been dragged away and gnawed by some wild beast.

As the scope of the search expanded, some guards discovered two corpses that had been bitten beyond recognition by wild animals.

Lu Shou rushed forward to identify it, and immediately cried bitterly while hugging the male corpse, while Bai Guo cried heartbreakingly at the female corpse.

After hearing the news, Xiao Pingyuan and his son rushed over, weeping silently at the two corpses.

The crowd collected the bones of the two, put them into two coffins bought by the guards, and transported them back to Beijing.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the news of the murder of the prince and concubine of the Duke of Zhen Guo quickly spread throughout the capital, causing many people to sigh.

The second master transported the coffin back to the mansion, and Mrs. Tai fainted on the spot in grief.

Misfortunes never come singly, just when the town government's mansion was full of blanks, another piece of bad news came that Lu Rongjing, the town government official who was fighting against the Japanese pirates in the far south, disappeared.

Under the double blow, Mrs. Tai fell ill.

Chang'an County Lord, who was secretly delighted at the murder of Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue, immediately fell down when he heard the news.
