When Zuo Jian kicked open the door of Zuo Mansion regardless of appearance, all the servants fell into panic.
"Mo Xiang, Mei Hong! Be careful!" Zuo Jian carefully laid Wan Qing flat on the bed, and then he and Mrs. Zuo gently turned Wan Qing over to prevent pressure on the wound. When she saw Wan Qing wrinkled
With a raised brow, Mrs. Zuo's tears that she had finally held back welled up again.
Zuo Jian hugged Mrs. Zuo and stood aside, watching Mo Xiang and Mei Hong rush in and out.
"Husband... you said... if something happens to Wan'er! What should I do?" Mrs. Zuo vented all her uneasiness.
She didn't know where this inexplicable panic came from.
"Don't worry. I will definitely catch the murderer." There was lingering determination in Zuo Jian's eyes. Dare to hurt his daughter?
Mrs. Zuo nodded gently, moved the stool to Wan Qing's bed, carefully held Wan Qing's cold right hand, took the hot handkerchief from Mo Xiang, and wiped Wan Qing's face carefully, "
Wan'er, don't be afraid, mother is here..."
Mom is here...
The dazed Wan Qing seemed to hear Mrs. Zuo's whisper, and her frown gradually relaxed. Although the pain on her back made her unable to ignore it, she fell asleep peacefully.
Madam Zuo pursed her lips and kept watch all night. Zuo Jian sat at the desk, reviewing the memorial in a soft voice, his eyes falling on Madam Zuo and Wan Qing from time to time. He was afraid that something would happen, so he stayed awake all night.
The early morning sun shines into the house as the starlings enter.
"Princess Qi, the assassin leader has been caught." Bago'er saluted neatly and waited for Princess Anzhen's instructions.
Mrs. Zuo had not slept all night, and her face was full of fatigue. After hearing Bago's report, the suppressed emotions suddenly came out, "Caught so easily? Does the military commander think I'm stupid or something?"
"Madam, don't be anxious." Zuo Jian raised his hand to stop what Mrs. Zuo was about to say, left the desk, and called Qingquan to change his clothes.
Zuo Jian, who had always been like a cup of tea, turned into a rock because of Wan Qing's incident, blocking all harm. "Bago, protect mother and daughter. I will handle this matter."
"Yes!" Bago'er responded in a low voice and disappeared from the sight of several people.
Zuo Jian straightened his official uniform, kissed Wan Qing on the forehead, gently hugged Madam Zuo, and whispered to her, "Wait until I come back. Don't act rashly..."
Mrs. Zuo's eyes were red, she responded with a choked voice, and nodded in agreement.
In the court hall, Zuo Jian was not the only one who was angry. Emperor Chu, who almost lost his beloved son, almost broke his finger. Looking at the people and the so-called evidence handed over by the Ministry of War, Emperor Chu's expression became particularly exciting.
.
"Oh? Zhang Aiqing, is this the evidence you said?" Emperor Chu stood up suddenly and threw the few darts and a long sword he handed over at the feet of Lord Bingbu. The jade ornaments on his body were affected by his actions.
And it made a sound that lingered for a long time.
Master Bingbu suddenly panicked and immediately fell to his knees and cried out for injustice.
"Wei Chen implores the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation!" Zuo Jian slowly walked out of the queue and knelt down, but his low voice was recalled in the empty court.
Several adults who were close friends with Zuo Jian also came out and knelt down, "Please your Majesty, conduct a thorough investigation!"
Emperor Chu Ping suppressed his anger and looked at the Lord of the Ministry of War coldly, "Come here, pick off the flower feather on his head and take him to the prison to be locked up with that leader!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, stopped looking at him, and immediately asked Zuo Jian and others to level up.
"Zuo Aiqing, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. I have always made clear rewards and punishments, so please relax." Emperor Chu sat down slowly, his eyes lingering on Sun Quan's face for a moment, "Master Sun, this is
It’s up to you to investigate and handle the matter!”
Zuo Jian clenched his hand gently, and asked Sun Quan to handle this matter. I am afraid that this matter will never be found out. Just as he was about to continue to plead with Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu had already waved his hand impatiently to indicate that he would withdraw from the court.
"Don't worry, Master Zuo. Sun will definitely do his best to make this matter come to light!" Sun Quan's vowed words sounded like a mockery to Zuo Jian's ears, but he couldn't show it at the moment, so he had to thank Sun Quan and leave the court.
Looking at Zuo Jian's leaving figure, Sun Quan sneered.
Back at home, Zuo Jian suddenly threw the inkstone on the table to the ground. In the court hall, in order to be wise and protect himself, Zuo Jian always followed the path of moderation. If he suddenly became wise now, he would probably be killed by Emperor Chu.
I doubt it will be even more difficult then!
But if Sun Quan is left to his own devices, there will definitely be problems in his own department.
"Master, the eldest prince wants to see you..." Qingquan hurriedly came in to report. Looking at the inkstone broken into several pieces on the ground, he was also shocked. He hurriedly packed it up.
Chu Lurong? What is this person doing?
Just as Zuo Jian was about to stand up to greet him, Bago suddenly appeared and handed Zuo Jian a secret letter in his hand.
Looking at the words written by Zuo Jian personally on the secret letter, Zuo Jian was suddenly startled, and his hands shook slightly. These were the words written by the second prince! Then he hurriedly opened the secret letter.
You can cooperate with Chu Lurong, he is not the murderer. I am helping you secretly.
Zuo Jian read it quickly, burned the secret letter in a hurry, and went to meet Chu Lurong.
There is no peace in my heart anymore.
Judging from the content of the secret letter, Chu Lurong probably knew what was going on in the court and came to help him when he came this time. And Chu Lüchen probably meant to investigate the matter thoroughly.
What is the power that makes these two people want to help him? Could it be... Wan Qing?!
Zuo Jian's steps suddenly stopped and he looked in the direction of Wan Qing's courtyard in disbelief.
If this is true...then Wan Qing will definitely not be able to avoid secret fights in the palace in the future...
"Lord Zuo, you are so excited, are you standing here admiring the plum blossoms?" Chu Lurong's voice suddenly sounded behind Zuo Jian, and Zuo Jian immediately turned around to see the eldest prince.
"How are you, Miss Zuo?" Seeing that Zuo Jian didn't answer, Chu Lurong asked himself.
"Back to the eldest prince, Wan'er hasn't woken up yet. Please invite the eldest prince..." Zuo Jian stopped talking in the middle of his words, for fear of angering the moody eldest prince.
Chu Lurong knew Zuo Jian's temperament and did not blame him, so he returned to the lobby and said, "Master Zuo, this is a private visit incognito. Don't tell anyone."
Listening to Chu Lurong's erratic ending, Zuo Jian sweated again.
It seemed that Chu Lurong was very aware of the deal between the Queen and Sun Quan. Chu Lurong came to help him out of his own intention rather than the Queen's instruction.
Zuo Jian took a deep breath and quickly followed.
For the time being, he was taking it one step at a time. With Chu Lurong's help, he could make preparations for Sun Quan's actions in advance to prevent any eventuality.
