The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"Who did you meet?" Zuo Xiangning asked curiously.

She thought Zuo Zixi had met Ling Xiao, because Zuo Zixi had mentioned it twice in the past few days, saying that he wanted to meet Ling Xiao before leaving, but she never found him.

"I met Master Min and had a drink with him at Deyue Tower." Zuo Zixi's cheeks turned a little red when he smiled, "Master Min is very satisfied with me."

"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Zuo Xiangning pulled Zuo Zixi's sleeve and her eyes widened with joy, "Brother, could it be that Master Min agrees with what brother means?"

Zuo Zixi smiled and nodded.

"Oh! That's great!" Zuo Xiangning jumped up happily, "Brother is so awesome! I'm going to find my mother now, and we'll find someone to come to propose marriage tomorrow."

"Why are you panicking?" Zuo Zixi pulled her and said with a smile: "What time is it now? If you go to find your mother, what else will happen to your mother? Besides, can this proposal of marriage be just a mere proposal? Did you mention it? You have to start planning again slowly."

"How can you have so much time?" Zuo Xiangning sat next to Zuo Zixi, "My eldest brother will leave in nine days. Before leaving, I must book my eldest brother's wedding in advance."

"You little naughty boy, it's not your turn to worry about my affairs." Zuo Zixi smiled and flicked Zuo Xiangning's head, "It's dark, go back quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay then." Zuo Xiangning asked someone to make some sobering soup for Zuo Zixi, "Brother, drink it before going to bed, or else you'll have a headache tomorrow and we won't be able to discuss the marriage proposal."

Zuo Zixi looked at Zuo Xiangning's cheerful back and chuckled.

Early the next morning, Zuo Xiangning was filled with joy. She smiled and asked someone to find her a beautiful dress.

"There is a big happy event for our family today."

Pan Xia heard something about it yesterday, but Pan Cui didn't know anything about it. She kept asking from the side: "What's the happy event?"

"It's such a happy event, I have to give you a big surprise." Panxia just didn't tell her.

"Girl, what kind of happy event is this? Can you tell me this?" Pancui wailed anxiously.

"You comb my hair first, and then I'll tell you." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"Okay." Pan Cui agreed with a smile.

Before the laughter in the room stopped, Zhang Rui's voice came from outside, "Is the girl up?"

"Let her come in." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning saw Zhang Rui's family entering the house from the dressing mirror. She stood cautiously next to Duobaoge and stared at her nervously.

"What's wrong with you?" Zuo Xiangning turned around and looked at Zhang Rui's family, "What happened?"

Zhang Rui's man said nervously: "Girl, I heard something this morning. I don't know whether to tell the girl or not."

"Tell me." Zuo Xiangning walked to Zhang Rui's house, "Did Zhang Rui ask you to say it?"

"It's Zhang Tu, the second son of Lao Nu, who asked Lao Nu to tell you." Zhang Rui's family said, "It's about Prince Zhongyuan Hou."

Zuo Xiangning's face changed slightly and asked Pan Cui and Pan Xia to wait outside.

"Three days ago, the second son of Marquis Zhongyuan was kidnapped outside the east city. Prince Zhongyuan took people out of the city to look for him, but he never returned. Yesterday, the second son of the Hou Mansion was rescued and sent back to the Hou Mansion in the evening. The second son It is said that Prince Zhongyuan Hou has fallen off a cliff and died."

"Who did Zhang Tu listen to?" Zuo Xiangning asked anxiously.

"The Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion has been hiding this matter. Yesterday when the second young master made too much noise when he returned to the house, it was revealed." The Zhang Rui family saw Zuo Xiangning's face turned pale, her body swayed and she almost fell over, and they hurriedly He stepped forward and held Zuo Xiangning's arm. "Girl, my husband and Zhang Tu have already gone to inquire about the news. They should be back soon." Zuo Xiangning sat on the chair outside, her heart beating loudly. It's like he's about to jump out.

She hated this helpless feeling of knowing nothing, and she regretted everything in her heart.

She shouldn't have been tainted by Ling Xiao, making her feel so entangled, uncomfortable, and frightened.

But she couldn't help but wanted to know his current situation urgently and save him from danger.

Zuo Xiangning sat in the room and didn't go anywhere.

Half an hour later, Zhang Rui and Zhang Tu arrived at Xianglan Zhai one after another.

"Have you found out?" Zuo Xiangning asked nervously.

"The Marquis of Zhongyuan led more than [-] of his own soldiers out of the capital. The second son of the Marquis of Zhongyuan was frightened and fell into a coma." Zhang Rui said, "The old slave spent five taels of silver to make people I invited Doctor Liu into the Marquis Mansion and took the pulse of the Second Young Master. Doctor Liu said that the Second Young Master had many scratches on his body and was not seriously ill. However, he was quite frightened and kept saying, It was he who killed his elder brother, and his elder brother fell off the cliff to save him..."

Zuo Xiangning slumped on the chair, biting her lower lip, and after a long time she said, "Have someone go find Bingyun and Bingyu."

She didn't believe that Ling Xiao would die so easily.

She asked Bingyun and Bingyu to investigate.

Two days later, they came back and knelt in front of Zuo Xiangning. They shed tears without speaking.

Zuo Xiangning's face was as pure as silk, and she whispered one word: "Speak!"

"When the two servants rushed to the scene of the accident, Marquis Zhongyuan had already arrived. Marquis Zhongyuan personally led people down the cliff and found the body of the Crown Prince at the bottom of the cliff." Bingyu choked.

Zuo Xiangning held on to the table to keep herself from falling. She asked in a trembling voice, "Have you ever seen anyone?"

Bingyun glanced at Bingyu, who was sobbing beside him, and replied: "I have seen it, but the prince... his face was hit on the cliff, so he couldn't see his true face clearly, but judging from his body shape and clothing, he should It’s the Crown Prince… Marquis Zhongyuan also said it’s the Crown Prince and has already transported the Crown Prince to the capital and should be able to arrive tomorrow night.”

Zuo Xiangning sat there motionless, tears rolling down her face.

"Isn't his martial arts very strong? How could he fall off the cliff?" Zuo Xiangning shed tears for a while and asked in confusion: "And who has such courage to kidnap the second young master of the Hou Mansion? "

"The Marquis has ordered people to investigate." Bingyun said: "If there is news over there, someone will tell us."

"Bingyu, go to Furui Pawnshop and ask their shopkeeper. They should have a way to find out the truth of the matter." Zuo Xiangning stood up and took out two more 1000 taels of silver notes and handed them to Bingyu, "No matter what We must use any method to find out how he died."

Bingyu wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said "yes" heavily.

Zuo Xiangning said to Bingyun again: "Since you can get the news from the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, I think you still have some relationship with the people there. Can you think of a way for me to see the prince again? "

"The Crown Prince's face has been destroyed..." Bingyun said, "And the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion is not so easy to get in."

"Bingyu is more flexible than you, but her martial arts skills are not as strong as yours." Zuo Xiangning's face was cold and lifeless, "I must see him one last time. I know you have a way."

Bingyun does have a way.

"The dozen or so people we raised on Zhuangzi were all selected by the prince and sent here. Their martial arts are not weak. Tomorrow the prince will return to the Hou Mansion. At the third watch tomorrow night, we will take you to see him for the last time. one side."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes were filled with tears. What else had he done for her behind his back?
