The middle-aged man's voice couldn't help but tremble a little when he said this, and Xiao Jingchen's eyes fell on his right leg.

His right leg was stiff and without any curvature, and it was not a real leg at first glance.

Go on. ”

"I don't know how long I fainted, but when I heard someone screaming outside, I thought the enemy was coming here and wanted to run away. ”

"But I couldn't help but go over and take a look, it wasn't the enemy who killed people, but the general who brought us over to support, he, he killed all the remaining soldiers!"

"Then how did you escape?" Xiao Jingchen looked at the man's trembling appearance, not like he was pretending.

"I hid in the back and didn't dare to make a sound, and their people searched the back yard again, so I hid at the door and pretended to be dead, but they didn't worry about cutting off my legs......"

At this point, her injured leg twitched involuntarily, as if recalling the pain of that day.

He was pretending to be dead and not really dead, and he couldn't make any noise when he cut it down, otherwise he would lose more than just that leg.

"So you're saying that the emperor sent a reinforcement army to Northern Zhou City three years ago, but in the end he killed them all. ”

Xiao Jingchen's voice seemed to pull the man's thoughts back, and he raised his head tremblingly, and his face was in a cold sweat.

"Lord Wang, the purpose of the support army is definitely not to support the battlefield, I don't know what exactly it did. ”

"Do you remember who your leading general is?" Xiao Jingchen was expressionless.

The panic in the man's eyes instantly turned into fear, and then to anger: "I remember that he turned to ashes!"

Su Qing came together the next morning and ran to the courtyard to take a look left and right, and only thought that the scenery of this rockery was well arranged.

I didn't expect there to be a hole underneath, but I just didn't know where the mechanism was.

She didn't see the mechanism when she looked left and right, but showed Xiao Jingchen here.

"It's going to leave tomorrow, what are you still hanging out here?"

"Isn't it just a matter of going out of the city? Could it be that I still have to pack up my luggage for the last day and elope with the prince?"

Su Qing was thinking about something else in his head, and some strange words popped out of his mouth.

Xiao Jingchen strode over with an expression on his face, and Su Qing hurriedly pretended to look at the fish in the lake.

"Look, this fish is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the prince is really good at raising it. ”

"Is it possible that fish farming can become smaller and smaller day by day?"

“……”

He seemed to be mentally retarded in his words, and she was about to say something to refute him.

"Princess, there is a letter for you. Xiao Jue hurried in from outside, holding an envelope in his hand.

All of a sudden, both eyes fell on the letter.

Su Qing thought about it, who would write a letter to her here? and happened to run into Xiao Jingchen's nose.

"It was sent by the eldest princess's mansion. Xiao Jue added, instantly solving his doubts.

The letter was handed to Su Qing, but she handed it to Xiao Jingchen: "Why don't you help me take a look?"

Xiao Jingchen once reminded her not to get too close to the eldest princess, but now she openly exchanged letters under his nose.

Xiao Jingchen didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but turned around and walked towards the study: "Since it's the princess's own letter, you can read it yourself." ”

Su Qing didn't know why the eldest princess suddenly sent someone to send her a letter, maybe it was because of Qin Yueyue's incident last night.

She stood in the courtyard and opened the letter, the content was very simple, just invited her to sit in the eldest princess's mansion for a while and have a cup of tea.

And the carriage that invited her was already waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Lord, the princess seems to have really gone to the eldest princess's mansion. Ying Liu followed Xiao Jingchen and whispered.

"Send someone to follow, and don't have any accidents before tomorrow. ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't raise his eyelids and ordered lightly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

The eldest princess's mansion is much more simple than Su Qing imagined, but it still looks like it has a different temperament.

Even the guide girl in the house was calm and quiet, and there was no superfluous word.

After many courtyards and corridors, I finally met the eldest princess herself, dressed in a plain dress and without any jewelry in her hair.

However, the temperament of the whole person is not revealed by external things.

"I've seen the eldest princess, I don't know why the eldest princess suddenly asked me to come?"

"Actually, I should have invited you to come and sit down a long time ago. The eldest princess said and stepped forward to take Su Qing's hand.

Su Qing subconsciously shrank back: "If the eldest princess is for the matter of the county lord in the palace last night, I can explain it." ”

"It has nothing to do with Yue'er's business, it's your business, don't stand, sit and talk. ”

The eldest princess smiled slightly and no longer approached Su Qing, but led her to sit down at the sandalwood table beside her.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the incense burner on the table, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.

"You've been to me a few times before when you were younger, but you didn't expect it to grow so big in the blink of an eye. ”

"The eldest princess took a lot of trouble to take me over, shouldn't it be to reminisce about the past?"

"Actually, your mother has something she wants me to pass on to you, she originally said that she would give it to you when you enter the palace, but now that you are married to the war king, I have been a little hesitant whether to give it to you. ”

"My mother?" Su Qing thought about it, it was possible, her mother had a really good relationship with the eldest princess before her death.

What could she give her? nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, or some family heirloom or something.

Su Qing was thinking about this, the eldest princess had already glanced at the maid next to her, and after a while, the two maids came out with a box.

It seems that there are still a lot of things, Su Qing frowned and got up and walked over: "These are all from her?"

"Before she left, she said that something strange might happen in your life, and that she can't be there for you to protect you, but at least let you know something. ”

Su Qing remembered that the original owner's mother had passed away when she was a child, how could she know what happened later?

And does this strange thing refer to her arrival?

"These things have never been opened in my place, you can take your time here, and I'll go see how Yue'er is doing with her homework. ”

After the eldest princess finished speaking, she was helped up by the maid on the side and walked out slowly.

Su Qing was the only one left in the room, she squatted down, the key was hanging next to the lock, has the eldest princess really not opened it for so many years?

She opened the lock neatly in her hand, and felt that the lock cylinder was a little stuck, as if no one had touched it for a long time.

The box was opened, there was a musty smell inside, the light was dim, Su Qing couldn't see what was in it for a while, turned around and took a candlestick.

When she saw what was inside, she was instantly stunned.

These things...... Why is it so familiar?
