She had much more time than Mei Xin, and she squatted down to investigate.

She touched the texture of the quilt with her hand, and with a pinch of her two fingers, she could wring out water.

"Sister Mulan, this quilt was brought by us from Beijing." Zhiyu said: "The quilt produced by the Xu family's business, the young lady likes it very much, saying that it is soft and warm. When she was cleaning up, Sister Bai Yao specially brought it. ”

Zhiyu is a second-class maid, but she deliberately paid attention to Xu Wanzhen's affairs.

Wen Mulan nodded, it seems that this water-soaked quilt should be wrapped around the young lady to avoid the fire.

She turned her head to look, and by this time the house had burned down, and there was no trace of the hole. But she could also deduce in her heart that the only place in the room with water was the clean room, and the young lady should have soaked the quilt in the clean room and managed to escape.

As for this dead man in black, it is obviously not something that the young lady can deal with.

Who was it that rescued the young lady?

Looking at the footprints that belonged to the man, Wen Mulan fell into deep thought.

Continuing to walk forward, when she saw the man in black who was singing, Wen Mulan suddenly realized.

Someone must have known about this assassination. In order to save the young lady, he first attacked the man with a bow and arrow, and then rescued the young lady.

But when he came out, he met another man in black, and it took some effort to kill him.

When she got to the rut, Wen Mulan saw the arrow left by Mei Xin. Squatting down and probing carefully on the ground, he found a dripping jade earring.

Obviously, this is a signal that the young lady deliberately stayed.

The man who came to the rescue didn't seem to have any good intentions. Otherwise, he would not have driven away with the young lady and Bai Yao.

Not surprisingly, there was only one person on the other side. Why did the young lady follow him without the slightest resistance?

Thinking of Bai Yao's obviously injured footprints, Wen Mulan's heart was like a mirror. The young lady is very good to the people around her, and this is not only reflected in the generosity of the monthly silver and the rewards from time to time, but also the fact that she really treats them as human beings, rather than objects that can be bought and sold at any time.

So, the facts are obvious. Bai Yao was injured, and that person used Bai Yao as a threat, so that the young lady had to obey his orders.

Wen Mulan stood up again, feeling that the lost strength had returned to her.

She was like a sword, and said in a deep voice: "Zhiyu, you go and inform Mama Zheng that the young lady has been rescued, and Mei Xin has chased after her." ”

Zhiyu responded and asked, "What about you, Sister Mulan?" ”

"I'll save the young lady."

"Sister, doesn't it matter what you have on your body?"

Wen Mulan smiled faintly, as long as the young lady could be saved, what were these injuries.

Zhiyu Qingzhi couldn't persuade her, handed her the medicine she was holding in her hand, and said, "Sister Mulan, be careful, we are waiting for your good news." ”

Wen Mulan bowed her head slightly, and took the wound medicine into her arms. I went to the horse gallery first, and rode the horse to chase down the rut tracks.

When I arrived at the courtyard wall of Zhuangzi, I saw that a gap had been cut out of the courtyard wall, just enough for the carriage to pass through.

In front of her, the night was as thick as ink. Behind her, there was a noisy Zhuangzi.

Wen Mulan took a deep breath and crashed into the night without hesitation.

……

The sky finally lit up.

The first rays of morning light appeared on the horizon, and Wei Mingchen's eyes became brighter and sharper, and he couldn't see the haggard traces of not sleeping all night.

He slowly opened his arms, as if to welcome the first rays of morning light, and as if he was embracing the palace in his arms.

Judging from the signals sent back from everywhere, everything is under control.

He walked back to the side hall in high spirits, and couldn't help but think in his mind, what kind of unsightly scene would he see? The crown prince and the queen will be so embarrassed.

However, when he finally stood still in the palace, everything in front of him almost made him faint.

It's not that it's a mess, it's very clean and tidy.

It's so clean that it's as if there has never been a trace of people's lives, and even the wine and food left over from last night have been cleaned up.

What's going on?

He was so shocked that he ignored the pale blue smoke that lingered in the room, and he inhaled it into his nose.

Wei Mingchen's knees were weak, and he almost fell to his knees.

It's not an adjective, it's a real reaction of his body.

He barely held on to his legs, feeling like he had fallen into a huge trap. An invisible net fell from the sky, tightening him tighter and tighter, and he couldn't struggle.

He was not a mediocre person either, he immediately held his breath and turned around to leave.

But at this time, from the outside "Bang Bang Bang!" "A lot of human bodies were thrown in. These people are the henchmen he sent out to deal with the shadow guards and the forbidden army.

Wei Mingchen's face suddenly turned white.

He completely understood, he had been tricked!

However, who in the end dared to use the queen and the crown prince as bait to set up such a bureau in the palace. Isn't he afraid of being reckoned with by the Autumn Queen?

Wei Mingchen really couldn't think of it.

Since he couldn't get out, he couldn't escape the blue smoke that lingered in the house.

Wei Mingchen smiled bitterly, should he be proud? The other party thinks so highly of him.

So, he slowly walked over to a chair and sat down. Since he has been tricked, someone will always come out to clean up the mess in the end, and he will wait slowly.

It's just that the taste of failure is too uncomfortable.

Feeling the strength slowly draining from him, Wei Mingchen tilted his head and closed his eyes, tasting the bitter taste in his heart.

It's not that he didn't think about failure.

Emperor Qinglong won the support of the people and courtiers, and in such a situation, he wanted to seize the throne, which was tantamount to taking a chestnut from the fire.

He had imagined countless failures, but he never thought that it was when he was so close to success, when he thought that everything was under control, and he was hit head-on.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

He emptied his mind, no longer thinking about where he was defeated, and no longer thinking about how the other party would get the queen and the crown prince away under his nose.

At this time, he seemed to smell the fragrance of wild flowers, which was the first fragrance he smelled when he climbed out of the high walls of Tailing.

Outside, there was the sound of swords, guns, and halberds, the sound of soldiers surrounding the place. Immediately afterward, he heard the sonorous footsteps of the generals and walked over.

"Brother Jiang, how does this incense taste? In order to entertain you, I have deliberately selected the best smoke to ensure that it will not hurt you. In this voice, there is also a twelve-point enthusiasm.

It's like a hospitable host who crafts dishes to entertain important guests.

Sure enough, it was him.

Hearing this familiar voice, a bitter smile appeared on Wei Mingchen's lips.

That's it, I still lost to him!
