Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 195 Gao Yang falls into the river, Fang Jun dies (1)

The dust has settled.

The people who had gathered near the barracks gradually dispersed.

They felt a mix of sadness and pride. Their sons, husbands, brothers, or other siblings were heroes who had wiped out the Japanese pirates, and this time they carried the same mission.

"Since you're here, why not go out and see them off?" A carriage was parked outside the barracks.

Seeing the appearance of her eldest daughter, Tao Yun sighed with a helpless expression. She had followed all the way here, but in the end, she stayed in the car.

"Young master, I think you really want to see me again."

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fair face was somewhat pale.
"I'm just afraid I won't be able to bear to part with it."

"It's good that it's like this now, so he won't have so many worries in his heart."

The carriage curtain was drawn back, and a pair of beautiful eyes gazed silently into the distance until the black armor was swallowed by the dust and no longer visible. Suddenly, Luo Yuheng became angry, her fair cheeks puffed up with rage: "Tao Yun, why wasn't I born during the reign of Emperor Taizu? Or even during the reign of Emperor Taizong? The eldest princess was so powerful back then, why am I so frustrated now?"

Tao Yun was stunned. She really had no way to respond to that, so she could only pretend she hadn't heard it.

Luo Yuheng vented his frustration, but knowing that some things were beyond his control, he sighed and said, "Let's go."

The car creaked and groaned.

Like Luo Yuheng's heart, pounding wildly.

Outsiders say that the eldest princess is unconventional and eccentric, but only those who have been by her side for a long time know that she is a very gentle person.

If you treat her well, she will treat you even better.

Perhaps it was her experience in the palace from a young age that shaped the princess's current personality; she is a little greedy and always wants to do everything in her power to grab onto everyone who is good to her.

This separation will probably keep me from sleeping well for a long time.

Ningping County.

Perhaps because the weather is gradually getting cooler, there are fewer pedestrians on the street. Even those who are out and about are bundled up like rice dumplings.

Seeing these people, Luo Yuheng couldn't help but think of Song Yan, who had already prepared winter clothes. Even the heavily armored soldiers had winter clothing, so he figured they could withstand the cold in Liaodong. However, the weather this year was somewhat unusual, seemingly colder than usual. Would the preparations be inadequate? What should he do? Should he have the Luo family's cloth workshops speed up the production of a batch of thicker, warmer clothes and send them over? But the Luo family's cloth workshops were too small. Should he contact the Fang and Cui families? With their help, things should go much more smoothly.

Song Yan had only just left, but she was already missing her. She didn't even seem like a member of the royal family; at least she didn't have the coldness and ruthlessness that were common among royals.

Luo Tianchu went to the county government office. After all, he was the county magistrate and had many trivial matters to deal with every day. On his way there, he also dragged Luo Tianquan along.

Inside the carriage were two little maids.

Perhaps because she had cried so hard earlier, and with the carriage swaying back and forth, she actually fell asleep.

Two heartless little brats.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Luo residence. Tao Yun and I each picked up a little boy, and the once bustling Luo residence suddenly felt a bit deserted.

Song Yan is gone.

Luo Tianyi went along too.

Banxia, ​​Kongchan, Dieyi, and Xueying were also arranged to go there, because she felt that Yan'er couldn't be left unattended.

Luo Tianyang, who was usually so loud and boisterous, had also disappeared.

Empty.

Luo Yuheng felt a little uncomfortable, and even had an impulse to take everyone with him to Liaodong.

Just then, a figure rushed in from outside, looking tense. It was Zhang San, a guard from the Luo family. Speaking of which, Zhang San was quite unlucky. He was originally the head of intelligence for the Luo family, but he rarely left the family compound. His subordinates mostly gathered intelligence with him, and he would select the important pieces to hand over to Luo Yuheng. But somehow, rumors spread that Zhang San had frequented brothels, ordering twelve girls and paying with ghost money. Now, the guards in the Luo family couldn't help but tease Zhang San about this.

Zhang San is usually a very composed person, so for him to show such an expression, something big must have happened. Could it be that something has gone wrong with Yan'er?
Thinking of this, Luo Yuheng's expression quickly turned serious. He found a room, put his daughter down, and reappeared in front of Zhang San: "What happened? Could it be something to do with Yan'er...?"

"Your Highness, the young master is alright," Zhang San replied, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

Speaking of which, the second young lady and the third young master also left with their son-in-law.

Even though the eldest and second young masters are not in the mansion right now, they only care about the son-in-law. Isn't this a bit too much favoritism?

Of course, this wasn't something a mere guard should be concerned with: "Something happened in Songzhou Prefecture."

"According to current information, just yesterday, Princess Gaoyang was attacked by thugs and fell into the Yi River. She may have been swept away by the river and her body has not been found."

Boom... click.

Zhang San's voice exploded in Luo Yuheng's mind like a thunderclap.

Even though Luo Yuheng had a fairly good temperament, he could hardly withstand such an impact. His body swayed precariously, and his face turned deathly pale.

Most members of the royal family are ruthless.

So-called feelings are utterly meaningless in the face of that supreme position.

Father and son become enemies, brothers turn against each other.

Even among sisters, there were constant sordid disputes.

It's fair to say that there aren't many people in the royal family with whom Luo Yuheng has a close relationship, and Princess Gaoyang happens to be one of them. Although they are aunt and niece, the age difference isn't that great, less than ten years, and their relationship is extremely close. Now, upon hearing this news, Luo Yuheng felt her mind buzzing and even lost the ability to think.

After a long while, Luo Yuheng finally began to breathe heavily, his face alternating between red and white: "How could this be? This is impossible."

"Who dares to harm Gaoyang? That's the Fang family's residence..."

Suddenly, Luo Yuheng's expression turned fierce, and his eyes even looked somewhat ferocious: "Could it be Jiang Miaojun?"

"This guy hates me, but can't do anything to me, so he's set his sights on Gao Yang?"

"Damn it, do they really think my royal family is easy to bully?"

In an instant, intense anger almost destroyed Luo Yuheng's reason, and even his eyes seemed to turn blood red.

"All guards of the Luo family, assemble!"

At Luo Yuheng's command, hundreds of guards quickly gathered behind him.

She wanted to get justice for her poor niece.

Zhang San's forehead was covered in cold sweat. As expected of the Princess, her temperament remained as irritable as ever after all these years.

Princess is not unintelligent; on the contrary, she is very clever. However, she is often blinded by emotions and does some irrational things.

As for the consequences, she probably didn't care much.

“Wait a moment, Your Highness.” Zhang San’s throat bobbed, and he quickly spoke up: “There is one more thing. It wasn’t just Princess Gaoyang who had the accident last night; there was another person involved.”

Luo Yuheng's icy gaze fell on Zhang San, causing Zhang San to shiver and swallow hard.

"And Fang Jun, he was assassinated last night!"
