Chapter 283 No Clues

Si Linglong led Shu Hong and a few others and walked quickly towards the carriage. When they got closer, they saw that almost half of the branch, which was not very thick, was stuck on the roof of the carriage.

When the imperial guards nearby heard the noise and climbed up to remove the branches, they saw a glaring hole on the roof of the car.

Si Linglong's mouth inevitably twitched again.

"What is this branch? Is it a diamond?"

Although the material of her carriage was certainly not as good as Helian Yue's, it was impossible for it to be pierced by a branch that was almost as thick as her calf.

Lingsheng was in charge of the security around them. He seemed to have heard the commotion and came over to say, "Don't panic, my lady. I will have someone fix the roof of the carriage. We will definitely be able to set off without any delay."

Si Linglong wanted to say something, but seeing that it was a green spirit, she didn't want to make a scene and make him bear the blame for failing to take good care of the child, so she could only wave her hands in silence, "Forget it, let's get someone to fix it right away."

But she felt that such a hole would still leak even after being repaired.

[Tsk, people really can't do bad things. ]

Si Linglong turned around and left with her people in frustration, looking as if she couldn't bear to watch.

Shuhong signaled Qinglu to follow and serve, while she stayed behind to supervise the repair of the carriage.

After all, they are out on the road, and when they set out on their journey, the team will not delay the journey because of the noble concubine's carriage. But if they set out without repairing the carriage, they will surely suffer from the cold on the way.

Seeing that she was staying to supervise, Lingsheng did not hesitate and immediately called two people to start repairing it.

Shu Hong looked at the branches thrown aside, then at the material of her own carriage, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

After thinking for a while, she carefully looked around and headed for a place that seemed to be deserted but well hidden. After a moment's hesitation, she called softly, "Master Lie."

Shu Hong called twice, but the secret guard didn't show up. She changed her location and called softly, "Master Lie, can you show up?"

On a hidden treetop not far behind Shu Hong, Lie Yi silently watched as this maidservant, who was known to be the smartest around Concubine Lang Gui, called his name in two places where he could not possibly be. After a moment's silence, she decided to show up.

The man in black walked quietly and silently.

Lie Yi landed lightly behind her and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Shu Hong was startled by the sudden sound behind her. She shuddered and quickly turned around and retreated. Even so, she did not make any noise to disturb others, which shows how strict her rules are.

Seeing that it was Lie Yi, Shu Hong immediately put away the surprise on her face and respectfully knelt down to salute the man opposite her, "Master Lie, please forgive me."

After Shu Hong confessed her crime, she did not hesitate to ask him directly, "It's about the incident where my concubine's carriage was smashed. I saw that the branch was not very sharp, and I felt that the hole was a little suspicious. My Lord has been watching in the dark, I wonder if you have seen any clues?"

Shu Hong has always been meticulous. Her concubine's carriage is made entirely of rosewood. Although it is not as durable as ordinary wood, it is also very sturdy. Even an assassin's arrow cannot penetrate it. The tree is not too tall and the branch is not big, so how could it leave such a mark?

Shu Hong was worried that this was some kind of conspiracy.

But at that time, Guipin and the others had already got off the car. If they were to plot secretly, it would be impossible for them to just smash the car. Shuhong thought about it and felt that Lie Yi, as a secret guard, must know more about this matter.

In addition, he has been protecting them secretly, so maybe he can even see what happened.

Lie Yi listened to Shu Hong's words, and his eyes twitched slightly, as if he was surprised that a palace maid could be so thoughtful. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a fleeting trace of guilt in those cold eyes that usually show no emotion.

After a moment, Lie Yi's face remained expressionless and his voice was calm, "No clues, no need to worry."

After all…

The hole on the roof of the car was made by him.
