In the North Tower of the Literature Garden in the capital city.
The North Tower was different from the usual bustling atmosphere. Today, it was quiet and solemn.
Whether it was the shopkeeper or the odd-job workers, they were all trembling with fear. That was because today, their legendary big boss was finally coming to the Northface Tower.
Since the morning, even Master Bamboo, who had always been meditating in her room, stood in the middle of the courtyard and waited obediently.
The atmosphere was cold. No one knew what the big boss's arrival meant.
However, looking at Master Bamboo's pale face, they could see one thing clearly.
She must have done something wrong. The big boss's arrival must be because someone was going to be unlucky.
Master Bamboo stood in the middle of the courtyard anxiously. This morning, His Lord had sent a message.
Moreover, she did not know where Ah Mei had gone. If Ah Mei made His Lord angry again, she would not be able to protect her.
After waiting for a while, Master Bamboo did not see His Lord.
As time went by, Master Bamboo's heart gradually sank.
Originally, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Perhaps this was just a routine interrogation by His Lord. Now, it seemed that things were much more serious.
"All of you can leave now. The North Tower will not entertain any guests today. You can go back and rest for a day. No one is allowed to come in without my permission. "
Master Bamboo was still Master Bamboo. Even though she knew what she was going to face, she was not afraid at all.
Although the servants did not understand, they were obedient. In an instant, Master Bamboo was the only one left in the huge North Tower.
Lifting up the hem of her dress, Master Bamboo knelt on the floor of the courtyard.
The face under the veil was already trembling with fear.
She thought about what she had done recently and realized that she had not missed anything. But she did not know why His Lord was so angry.
His Lord had always been a punctual person.
Now that he had not shown up until now, it could only mean one thing. His Lord was extremely angry. She was the one in charge of the North Tower. Therefore, His Lord would only punish her.
"Do you still know the rules of the Four Saints Guard?"
Master Bamboo had just knelt down when she heard a cold voice coming from somewhere.
Master Bamboo's body trembled slightly. She immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Bamboo is wrong, please punish me, Master."
Before he could finish his words, he was sent flying.
With a clang, that soft body actually smashed the stairs into smithereens.
"Since you already know, why did you break the rules?"
A cold voice came from the top of his head.
Master Bamboo looked up. She could not help but spit out a mouthful of hot blood.
However, his eyes were still filled with respect as he looked at the black-clothed man in front of him.
"My Lord … has never done anything to disappoint my Lord. I hope my Lord will investigate this!"
He looked at the half-dead Master Bamboo in front of him. Long Tianhao did not show any mercy at all. His eyes were filled with suppressed rage. If the man in front of him had not been carefully trained by him, he would have been dead long ago.
However, Lin Mengya had almost lost her life because of that woman.
The rage in his heart was monstrous. Anyone who had anything to do with that woman would not be able to escape his punishment.
"Where is Master Plum? Don't tell me that you don't even know the whereabouts of your biological sister. If that's the case, I think it's better for you to give up the position of commander. "
Master Bamboo was taken aback, but she soon understood.
There was some sadness in her eyes. She knew that this matter could be hidden from others, but not from the Lord in front of her.
She struggled to get up from the ground. She kowtowed to Long Tianhao respectfully and said, "Thank you, Miss Long Tianhao.
"It's my fault for hiding this matter from you. However, my sister has not appeared in the building since a few days ago. I really don't know where she went. "
Long Tianhao was not a person who disregarded human life. In fact, he knew Master Bamboo's character.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was loyal to him, she would have become a person who deserved to die, just like her elder sister.
"Your sister died on the 15th day of the first lunar month. She died in a small alley in the capital city, but …"
Long Tianhao changed the topic. There was a dark color in Long Tianhao's eyes that made Master Bamboo tremble with fear.
"She tried to assassinate Princess Yu before she died. You have to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter."
Cold sweat instantly soaked Master Bamboo's back.
Her veil had slipped down unconsciously. Her delicate little face, which was completely different from Master Plum's, was covered with fear, shock, or because of Long Tianhao's kick just now.
Her body was trembling, as if she would faint in the next second.
"My sister, she … no, it's impossible! My Lord, although my sister did not join the Four Saints Guard, she is still loyal to His Lord. My sister did a meritorious service when she entered the palace last time. She … where did she get the courage to stab Princess Yu? "
Master Bamboo opened her eyes wide. Now it seemed that she could not accept the fact in front of her.
Although her biological sister was born in the Musical House, she was a good girl who loved herself.
When she was in the North Tower, she lived in seclusion every day, which was a kind of self-respect. Why … why did she have the courage to assassinate Princess Yu?
Suddenly, a small detail popped into her mind.
She remembered that His Lord once said that her sister had sent medicine to Prince Yu behind her back.
Could it be …
God, it was just wishful thinking!
"Now, your sister is dead. I can let go of the other things. However, you have to remember that if the North Tower calls out any traitors again, you, as the commander, will be punished by yourself. Also, send an order to all the forces of the Four Saints Guard in the capital city. If you see Princess Yu, you must protect her secretly. The reason why your sister died was not only because she assassinated Princess Yu. You should have noticed why the news of her entering the palace last time was leaked. Your sister's body is placed in the Righteous Manor outside the city. It's up to you what to do. "
Long Tianhao's eyes turned cold, and his tone was still piercing. But he still left some leeway for Master Bamboo.
"Yes, Master. I thank you for sparing my life."
Master Bamboo was stunned. She had been adopted by the former Vermilion Bird Guard since she was a child.
If she hadn't accidentally found out that Mei was her sister a few years ago, she wouldn't have taken her sister with her at the risk of being punished by His Lord.
But now, for the sake of her own selfish desires, her elder sister had almost killed her.
Her heart had turned cold.
"Guards …"
In the middle of the courtyard, Long Tianhao's figure had already disappeared without a trace.
Only then did the person who was guarding outside dare to poke his head in.
Master Bamboo had already turned around. No one could see the heart-wrenching sadness on her delicate and pale face.
"Your Highness, I heard from the soldiers outside the city that there was a Righteous Manor outside the city. It suddenly caught fire today. All the corpses that were placed there were burnt beyond recognition. "
In Long Tianhao's study, Lin Kui stood with his hands by his side, reporting to Long Tianhao.
"Okay, I see."
With the military book in hand, Long Tianhao acted as if he had never heard it.
Needless to say, he knew that it was made of bamboo.
The woman's body must be in it.
But this was good. To put it bluntly, Mei was just a chess piece. He believed that the real mastermind behind the scenes was still unscathed.
"How is Princess Yu? Has she rested now? "
Long Tianhao had never cared about people who were not important to him.
Then, he asked about Lin Mengya's condition.
"This … I don't know. But it's very lively in Liuxin Courtyard. "
Speaking of this, Lin Kui looked a little strange.
He didn't feel it usually, but during the month when Princess Yu was away, even he, as a servant, felt very uncomfortable, not to mention the prince.
Speaking of it, Princess Yu was like a clingy child. He felt annoyed when they were together, and felt empty when they were not together.
Although Princess Yu was a lady from a respectable family, she was a mischievous person. As long as she was around, no matter what time it was, they would not feel bored.
"What's wrong this time? Let's go and have a look. "
The book in his hand was easily tossed onto the desk.
Looking at Long Tianhao's excited face, Lin Kui was too embarrassed to say anything.
Taking advantage of the night, the two of them used their lightness skills. She climbed up the wall of the Liuxin Courtyard with ease and dexterity.
Inside, there were a lot of girls, and it was very lively.
But even Long Tianhao couldn't figure out what his Princess Yu was doing.
"You, move this over there. Yes, it's the northwest corner of the courtyard. Be careful, don't damage it. "
Baizhi was very happy to be the field commander in the courtyard.
She was giving instructions to the guards and servants in the courtyard, who were temporarily acting as able-bodied men.
Her little face was red, but she still looked excited. She had found something suitable for her to do.
"Master, you just came back. Why don't you have a good rest today? Anyway, it's okay to do this later, isn't it? "
Baiji, who was obedient to Lin Mengya, said with confusion.
In the afternoon, when Lin Mengya woke up from her afternoon nap, she started to make arrangements to redecorate the courtyard.
Every grass and tree in Liuxin Courtyard was carefully decorated by Qinghu and Childe Yu. Even the Imperial Palace was not as exquisite and appropriate as this small courtyard.
She didn't understand why Princess Yu insisted on doing these things.
"Silly girl, if we don't decorate, how can we welcome the New Year? There will be a new atmosphere in the New Year, right? "
Lin Mengya gave Baiji an ambiguous answer as she sipped on her fragrant tea.
