Chapter Fifty-Six: Resting and Perilous

"Are you sure you saw Wei Zhiran enter this inn?" A man's voice came out of the bazaar, he was slightly fat, his steps were steady and serious, but his voice was not as strong and bright as that of an ordinary man, and he seemed to be a father-in-law. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A man in a brown robe committed to him, and whispered, "The slave has been following them, and he doesn't even dare to blink his eyes, he can't be wrong." ”

"Good!" The father-in-law nodded, his eyes were slightly weird, he waved his hand back, and a middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary trader pushed a wooden cart over, "Comb grate!" Sell the grate! ”

"Comb the grate! Sell the grate! The best comb grate in Chang'an! ”

……

Because he was near the inn, the sound was deliberately amplified, and it had slowly spread to the upper floor of the inn. Wei Zhiran happened to lie on the second floor and looked down at the bustle, and when she heard the clamour, she couldn't help but be interested again. With a happy face, she picked up her skirt and turned around to go downstairs, but Wang Zhengjun stopped her anxiously when she saw this, "Zhiran, where are you going?" ”

"Sister Zhengjun, I heard that there are comb grates sold outside!" Zhi Ran turned her head and smiled.

"You girl loves to join in the fun!" Wang Zhengjun pursed his lips and chuckled, and grabbed Zhiran again, "It's just that it's not too early, we have to go back to the palace in a while, but we can't run around anymore!" ”

Zhi Ran let go of Wang Zhengjun's hand with a smile, looking flattering and obedient, "Sister Zhengjun, I'm just going out to take a look, or it won't be long before you let me go!" ”

Before Wang Zhengjun could answer, Xiao Yu, who was smiling, said casually: "Let her go!" ”

The clever Zhiran smiled secretly when she saw this, turned around and ran downstairs "with a smoke", like a naughty and happy little rabbit.

"Zhi ......" Wang Zhengjun didn't have time to shout, he had already disappeared Zhi Ran's figure, and finally he could only shake his head helplessly, and asked Xiao Yu with some disgust, "Are you really relieved that Zhi Ran will go out alone?" ”

Xiao Yu, who had a gentle face, poured tea for Wang Zhengjun and motioned for her to sit down, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't look at Zhiran as a girl, but this girl, only she bullies others, how can anyone bully her?" You and Zhiran grew up together, and you should know this better than I do. ”

Wang Zhengjun couldn't help but smile, "If Zhiran knew that her brother Xiao Yu was talking about her behind her back, she might be sad!" ”

……

The bustling street market is full of people, and the sound of selling and shouting suddenly becomes one. Zhi Ran rushed to the grate stall excitedly, she was delicate and innocent, like a bright landscape, which really attracted the attention of passers-by.

Under the eaves not far away, the father-in-law saw this, and hurriedly spread out the portrait of Wei Zhiran in his hand to look at it carefully, and couldn't help but smile secretly with satisfaction. The man in the brown robe who followed him also smiled proudly, "Father-in-law, this is Miss Wei Zhiran, right?" ”

"That's right! You're a good kid! The father-in-law patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and smiled reassuringly, "Good! Then it's up to you next, be sure to complete the task assigned by the mother! This benefit is indispensable to you! ”

"Father-in-law Xie! Minions understand! The brown man in the brown robe smiled slightly.

The man who sold the comb grate looked at Zhiran for a long time, and said to her enthusiastically: "Girl, buy a comb!" ”

Zhi Ran raised a slightly naughty face and held a wooden comb, and said in disbelief: "This is what you said is the best-looking comb grate in Chang'an?" But I don't look very good, is the boss bragging? ”

The man who sold the comb grate lowered his head and smiled without being angry, but said gently: "The girl's words are wrong! Although this wooden comb is simple and unpretentious, but girl, you are unbelievably beautiful! Because you are the most beautiful, girl, anything you wear will naturally be stained with the girl's fairy mist, and it will become beautiful. That girl, do you say, are these grates the most beautiful grates in Chang'an City? ”

Zhi Ran was so happy that she didn't want to object at all, so she had to look down and take a closer look, and picked up the comb grate on the stall and picked it up.

Seeing this, the man who sold the comb grate hurriedly handed a delicate and beautiful jade-inlaid wood comb in front of Zhiran, "The girl was born beautiful, this comb suits you the most!" Would you like to give it a try? ”

Zhi Ran took it with a smile and looked at it carefully, "That's good!" That's what I'm going to do! ”

"Okay! Then I'll wrap it up for the girl! The man selling the grate smiled and glanced at the distance not far away.

Zhi Ran took the wrapped wooden comb full of joy, and when she was looking down and smiling, a man in a brown robe suddenly jumped out from behind her and quickly covered Zhi Ran's mouth with a drugged handkerchief.

"Brother Xiao Yu......" Zhiran struggled to shout, but she had already fainted unconsciously, and the comb in her hand fell to the ground.

Wang Zhengjun's anxious footsteps were heard from time to time in the gentle atmosphere of the inn, and she looked out the window to see that it was not early, and if she delayed it any longer, she was afraid that she would really delay the time to return to the palace. It's just that where can Zhiran's shadow be seen in the vast sea of people downstairs, how can she not worry about it?

Just when Wang Zhengjun was anxious and didn't know what to do, Xiao Yu and Yazhu, who went out to look for Zhiran, had already returned. I saw Yazhu say softly: "The crown princess, the slave maid looked nearby, but I didn't see Miss Zhiran." ”

"Haven't found it yet?" Wang Zhengjun listened to this flustered heart.

Xiao Yu comforted Wang Zhengjun and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, Zhiran will be fine." I think she must be playing and running around! What's more, Zhiran of Chang'an City is also familiar with her, if she really can't find us, she will go back to Xiao Mansion. ”

After that, Xiao Yu looked at the gradually misty sky, and said softly: "It's not too early now, Niangniang, you might as well go back to the palace first." As soon as I find Zhiran, I will immediately let someone report to you, so don't worry. ”

"That's all there is to it now." Wang Zhengjun, who was a little worried, nodded slightly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, saying that someone was delivering a letter. Xiao Yu took the letter and closed the door to take a closer look, and there were a few big words written on the white silk: If you want to see Wei Zhiran, go to the deserted temple outside the city quickly.

Wang Zhengjun saw Xiao Yu's face change suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "What is written on it?" ”

Xiao Yu handed the silk silk he was holding to Wang Zhengjun, and said in a deep voice: "Zhiran, she may have an accident!" ”

Wang Zhengjun was flustered for a while, took the letter and hurriedly looked at it, and immediately became uneasy in his heart. Her eyes were gloomy, and she said anxiously: "Xiao Yu, let's go outside the city now, we must rescue Zhiran!" ”

"Niangniang, don't go, I'm worried about danger." Xiao Yu's calm eyes seemed to have a plan, and he instructed Yazhu again, "Yazhu, you hurry up and take Niangniang back to the palace!" ”

"I'll just go out of town by myself!" Xiao Yu said that he turned around and was about to leave.

"No way!" Wang Zhengjun stopped Xiao Yu in a deep voice, "I have to go with you, one more person to take care of." What's more, I'm Zhiran's sister, how can I ignore her if something happens? ”

Wang Zhengjun raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yu, and there seemed to be pleading in his eyes. But it is as soft as ever, as if there is a kind of gentle gentleness like a warm breeze.

Xiao Yujun's face was still hesitant, and it could be seen that Wang Zhengjun's worried eyes were full of determination, so he had no choice but to nod, and hurriedly rushed out of the city with Wang Zhengjun and Yazhu.

……

At night, the red soft light in the palace is slightly dispersed in the corridor, and among the shadows of the trees, the noble and slender figure of Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, is clear and clear. The sword dancing in his hand flickered quickly, and with a few "smacks", the red petals on the branches fell "with a whoosh", flying all over the sky like snowflakes. He remembered that Wei Zhiran liked this scene the most, and when he thought of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a warm smile.

"See King Huaiyang!" Zhang Qi, the most trusted king of Huaiyang, walked down the corridor.

"Zhang Qi!" Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, heard the voice with a hint of joy, turned around and quickly inserted the sword into the scabbard and threw it on the stone table, and hurriedly asked: "Zhiran, did she have fun with the crown princess out of the palace today?" Have you returned to the palace now? ”

Zhang Qi replied cautiously: "Miss Zhiran hasn't returned to the palace yet, and Weichen saw that the princess was looking for her everywhere, thinking that she should be missing!" ”

"Missing?" Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, was furious when he heard this, "Didn't I send you to protect her secretly?" How did you make her disappear? ”

When Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately bowed his head and shook hands and saluted, and said in a panic: "Weichen is not doing things well, and I ask the prince to forgive me!" ”

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, asked leisurely again: "What about the crown princess?" Can you go back to the palace? ”

Zhang Qi replied: "It doesn't seem to be either." ”

"Didn't go back to the palace either?" Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, was even more puzzled, he thought about it and said, "In this way, you send some people to follow the crown princess to check if there is any news of Zhiran." In addition, send some people to search me one by one where Zhiran may go, and be sure to find Zhiran for me! ”

"No!" Zhang Qide Ling was about to leave, but remembering the scene he saw during the day, his hesitant footsteps stopped again. The King of Huaiyang was concerned about Zhiran's safety, and when he saw this, he shouted: "What are you still doing here, why don't you go find someone quickly!" ”

Zhang Qi raised his calm face and said carefully: "When the minister was following Miss Zhiran outside the palace today, he seemed to have seen Gonggong Zhou. ”

"Father-in-law Zhou?" The corners of Huaiyang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Are you talking about Zhou Wanquan, the most powerful person beside my mother?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Qi looked affirmative.

Hearing this, the King of Huaiyang, who looked puzzled, began to feel a trace of anger in his heart, his right hand clenched into a fist, and hit the stone table fiercely, and his right hand with green muscles jumped up for a tingling pain.

Zhang Qi was a little flustered when he saw this, and was about to step forward to say something, when he saw King Huaiyang wave his hand and said, "Go down!" Notify me immediately if there is news from Zhiran! ”
