The black-bellied highness, the evil concubine

Chapter 18 Meeting the Old Ones (1)
The next day, Wen Ran arrived at the Murong Mansion in the west of the city as promised.

This Murong Mansion was the residence of the first-rank general Murong Lian back then. It was rumored that Murong Lian was brave and good at fighting, and used his soldiers like a god. He had won countless battles for the Great Yang Kingdom, and even sworn brothers with His Majesty today. And he is also loyal to His Majesty.

If the fiery army led by Murong Lian hadn't turned the tide of the palace turmoil eight years ago, the current Dayang Kingdom might no longer exist.It's a pity that the loyal and courageous General Murong and his wife both died in the turmoil in the end, and the Murong Mansion was destroyed once, and its glory was lost.

Zhuge Yuan was heartbroken, and made Murong Lian the Great General of Protecting the Nation, and his wife was the first-rank Madame Protecting the Nation. They were buried together in the imperial mausoleum with a state funeral, and he would personally go to pay homage to him on every memorial day.

Although this Murong Mansion has been vacant for many years, Zhuge Yuan still ordered his people to come and take care of it every day, so this Murong Mansion is almost as it was before, the never-closed gate seems to be still waiting for its owner to return.

Wen Ran had also heard about the loyalty of General Murong and his wife from his master, and he admired them from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he also felt somewhat regretful. Wen Ran was also quite emotional in his heart because he was lucky enough to come here tonight.

The Murong Mansion was originally remote, and the Murong Lian and his wife liked to be quiet before they were alive, and they didn't like to be too noisy and disturbing, so His Majesty strictly prohibited people from entering or leaving the vicinity at will, so that there was hardly a single person seen here during the day, let alone Said it was so late at night.

In fact, for so many years, except for His Royal Highness and those people sent by His Majesty to take care of him, no one has ever set foot in the Murong Mansion.

However, not long ago, an uninvited guest broke into this place.

"Bamboo girl!"

As soon as Wen Ran arrived outside the Murong Mansion, Jian Xin and Jian Hen appeared in front of her, their attitudes were very respectful, they didn't know how good Wen Ran's kung fu was, but since the master had spoken, let them assist this The girl, they obeyed their orders and did not dare to have the slightest objection.

Beside the two of them is a woman who wears the same black night clothes as them, and the three of them also wear black scarves on their faces like Wen Ran. They can't see her face, but just look at the pair of protruding eyes However, Wen Ran still felt her hostility, at least it was definitely not a good intention.

"Is someone inside?" Wen Ran asked Jian Xin as if he hadn't noticed it.

Jian Xin nodded and said: "He has been hiding in the mansion, and has never stepped out of the mansion!"

Hearing this, Wen Ran was even more sure that the person inside must be the one who made his elder brother a scapegoat.

It's strange to say, judging by Zhuge Jingyao's appearance, he should have known the real culprit was here long ago, why didn't he arrest him for so long, and instead let Beitang Hu look for it in the wrong direction?
It seems that His Highness has a lot of secrets!

"How do you know he never left?" Wen Ran asked in confirmation.

Jian Xin replied: "The man was sprinkled with a special fragrance powder, the smell is very light, and most people can't smell it, but the black butterfly raised by Jianwu is particularly sensitive to the smell, and the black butterfly has been wandering here. That means he hasn't left yet!"

Immediately afterwards, he added: "The fragrance can last up to ninety days!"

Wen Ran glanced at Jian Wu, only to see her looking back at her provocatively.

"Please, Miss Sword Dance, lend me your black butterfly!" Wen Ran said softly.

Jian Wu was unwilling at first, but in the end, under the toughness of Jian Xin and Jian Hen, she handed over a black butterfly.

"You guys stay here and wait for me!" Wen Ran let go of the black butterfly, and was going to follow its direction, and said softly to the three of Jianxin before leaving.
