In the last life, Xiangjun disappeared, and the duke took Li Yan's order to take the Praetorian Guards to look for nearly half a month, but that Xiangjun seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was not even a trace of it, and in this life, I don't know if I can find it.

At this moment, the Junqi Pavilion where Xiangjun lived was in a mess, all the furnishings and decorations were scattered on the ground, the cupboards and beds were full of mottled knife marks, as if they had been crossed by sharp objects, a gray-haired man sat on a chair, he was slightly thin, wearing a royal blue seven-rank internal prison uniform, his eyebrows were obviously snow-white, but his skin was very smooth and fair, his eyes were narrow and long, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his lips seemed to be as red as rouge, and it was impossible to tell his age.

Next to the feminine man sat a burly man, with a big beard covering half of his face, and the armor on his body was very powerful, he was looking at the man with a feminine face with disdain, and snorted heavily from the tip of his nose and said: "Father-in-law, the emperor ordered us to arrest people, but now that people are gone, you should tell me, what should I do!" ”

Hua Ling is the seventh rank of the palace internal supervisor, in charge of the teaching department, although the official position is smaller than the military attache Lin Chongnan next to him, but he is not afraid of him at all, some pale fingers hold the white porcelain cup, and slowly said: "Lord Lin, what are you doing in such a hurry, our family naturally knows that this person is going to be arrested, but you and I both know that Xiangjun is not an ordinary female ji, I am afraid that he has already prepared a way to retreat, if he doesn't use his brain, this person will naturally not be able to catch it." ”

That Lin Chongnan was short-tempered, slapped the table heavily and said: "Then dude, what good ideas do you have, hurry up and say it, if this person can't be caught, it's you and me who are unlucky!" ”

Hua Ling glanced at Lin Chongnan and continued: "That Xiangjun is the granddaughter of the former Zaifu, the daughter of the Liu family, although the first emperor sentenced the Liu family to be beheaded when he was there, but our family knows that there is a boy in the Liu family who is out of exile and has not been executed, and that boy is Xiangjun's brother Liu Yunling, if we have this person in our hands, are we not afraid that we will not be able to attract Xiangjun." ”

Lin Chongnan frowned, and still said embarrassedly: "It's been so many years, where can I still find someone, besides, Liu Yunling was only eight or nine years old at the beginning, and now that he has grown up, isn't it more difficult to find such a person than looking for a needle in a haystack?" ”

A trace of disdain flashed on Hua Ling's face, a reckless man is a reckless man, with developed limbs and a simple mind, he still said unhurriedly: "Who said that he was going to look for him, this person is vast, and after so many years, who knows whether he is dead or alive now, we just need to find someone who is five or six points similar to Liu Yunling when he was a child, are you still afraid that you can't fool Xiangjun, after all, it is her only brother, and it is also the only bloodline left by the Liu family, our family believes that she will not be able to help but show up." ”

"The duke is really scheming, if we can catch Xiangjun back this time, we can also give the emperor an errand, and the duke should take the first credit." Although Lin Chongnan said this, he didn't have much gratitude on his face.

Hua Ling smiled slightly, and said: "It's not necessary to remember the merits, we are all doing things for the emperor, so naturally we want to relieve his worries, Lord Lin should hurry up and find the young man who looks similar to Liu Yunling, so as to arrest Xiangjun back as soon as possible." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, when Zhen'er went out to see again, the officers and soldiers outside the Junqi Pavilion had been withdrawn, and the Junqi Pavilion was also sealed, Zhen'er became more and more suspicious, and when she went to the small kitchen to get breakfast, she happened to meet Shishi's personal envoy Lilac, so she asked sideways: "Lilac, your lady and Xiang Niangzi have always been the best, what happened to Xiang Niangzi, I think it seems that even the officers and soldiers came yesterday, it really scared me." ”

That lilac is still a good talker on weekdays, and when she saw that there was no one around, she whispered in Zhen'er's ear: "Our lady was also startled yesterday, and those officers and soldiers also searched for us, as if they thought that Xiang Niangzi would hide in us, those people were really barbaric, as soon as they left, the lady was angry, and now she is still lying on the bed, and some of them are worried about Xiang Niangzi, I heard that Xiang Niangzi seems to be gone, and no one saw her go out of the workshop, but she disappeared for no reason, What the hell do you say? ”

"As for the envoy beside her, it's impossible and unavoidable." Zhen'er didn't believe that a big living person could disappear so plainly, and asked puzzled.

"Those female envoys don't seem to know anything, but they have been taken away by the officers and soldiers, I'm afraid it is indispensable to torture them, as long as they can't find the Xiang lady for a day, they don't want to come out, hey, no matter what, it's still us female envoys who are unlucky." Lilac said with a sigh.

After Zhen'er went back, she conveyed these words to Lu Huiwan to know that Lu Huiwan was silent on the surface, but there was a storm in her heart, Xiangjun really left, so is Meng Feiyang also ......

Lu Yanwan suddenly couldn't sit still, looked up at Zhen'er and said, "Sister Zhen'er, help me get dressed, I'm going to Dr. Meng." ”

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, how can you run around." Zhen'er naturally didn't follow, and stopped her and said.

"Sister, I just hurt my hand, and my foot is fine, I really have something urgent to find Dr. Meng, if you don't want to help me, I'll just go, it doesn't matter much anyway." As Lu Yan said in the evening, he had already gotten out of bed, wearing only white obscene clothes, and was about to go out the door.

Zhen'er naturally grabbed her, and said angrily and helplessly: "Okay! Can't I let you go, you girl just loves to toss, first dress me before leaving, I'm not young anymore, why aren't you ashamed at all. ”

After teaching Lu Yan a few more words, Zhen'er took a set of clothes to put on for her, and accompanied her to Meng Feiyang's residence.

It's still early now, there aren't many people in the alley, only some early women come out to fetch water, when Lu and the two arrived at the door of Meng Feiyang's house, the door was tightly closed, Zhen'er patted the door for a while, but there was no movement, Lu Yanwan stood behind her, her face became more and more ugly.

"Haven't you gotten up yet?" Zhen'er stopped her hand and turned her head to Lu Yanwan and said. Lu Yanwan didn't say a word, turned around and walked a few steps, and knocked on the door of a house not far away.

This family only lived an old man about sixty years old, who was originally the most miscellaneous artist in the teaching workshop, and then when he was older, he took the silver to redeem himself, because he had never left the teaching workshop in his life, so he bought a small courtyard in the alley of the division to live, and it was considered to be a long time to live.

The elderly generally wake up early, and Lu Yan didn't knock a few times in the evening, and the door opened. The old man saw that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old female doll, and he guessed her identity somewhat, and asked with a kind expression, "Little girl, is there something wrong?" ”

Lu Yanwan nodded politely to the old man, and then asked: "This asks the old man, I came to find Dr. Meng on the other side, I just want to ask, have you seen others in the past few days?" ”

The old man thought for a moment before replying, "I really haven't seen this person in the past few days, and the last time I saw ...... It seems to have been four or five days ago, and I can't say for sure, after all, I don't go out much, but you can go to the Rujia restaurant at the mouth of the alley to ask, Dr. Meng usually asks the restaurant to deliver food, they should know best. ”

Lu Yanwan had a premonition even more in her heart, and thanked the old man, and then walked back to Zhen'er and said, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant in front and ask." ”

Zhen'er saw that Lu Yanwan's face was not good-looking, so she didn't ask much, and the two soon arrived at the homeinn restaurant at the mouth of the alley.

The second child of the restaurant had seen Lu Yan a few times at Meng Feiyang's place, but he recognized her, and when he saw her and Zhen'er coming in, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "It's Miss Wanwan, why do you have time to patronize our small shop today." ”

Lu Yanwan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I'm not here to eat, I just want to ask, have you delivered food to Dr. Meng these days?" ”

Xiao Er saw that Lu Yan asked about Meng Feiyang, so he also frowned and complained: "It's okay if you don't mention it, Miss Wanwan, I don't know why, the food we sent to the door of Dr. Meng's house has not been touched in the past few days, I think he should have gone far away, but he didn't say hello to us, fortunately, his monthly meal money was prepaid in advance, otherwise our small shop would have been with us, after all, it is a small business......

"How many days has this been the case?" Lu Yanwan interrupted Xiao Er's words slightly impatiently and continued to ask.

Xiao Er thought for a while and replied, "It's been three days until yesterday, and I'm still thinking about whether to continue sending it today." ”

Asked what he wanted to know, Lu Yan didn't stop long, and walked out of the restaurant quickly, Zhen'er immediately followed, leaving only Xiao Er, who was still confused, wondering if this meal should continue to be delivered.

Lu Yanwan returned to Meng Feiyang's residence, lowered her head, and was stunned, Zhen'er patted her shoulder with some worry and said, "Wanwan, let's go back, Doctor Meng may have something to do, he went far away, maybe he will come back in a few days, let's come back to him when the time comes." ”

Lu Yanwan didn't move, and after a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "Sister Zhen'er, you go back first, I want to stay here alone for a while." ”

Zhen'er naturally didn't worry about Lu Yanwan staying here alone, and wanted to persuade again, but Lu Yanwan said again: "Sister, don't worry, I just want to stay here alone for a while, it'll be fine, you go back first, I'll go back in a while." ”

Zhen'er also knew Lu Yanwan's temperament, once she decided something, the nine cows couldn't pull it back, so she could only sigh lightly, and then told a few words to pay attention to safety, and then left first.

When Zhen'er is figure was no longer visible, Lu Yanwan took out a bunch of keys from the wide cuffs with some difficulty, and opened the lock a little clumsily with her gauze-wrapped fingers.

After tossing for a while, Lu Yuwan finally opened the copper lock, tried the sweat on the door of his head with his sleeve, and then pushed the door and walked in.

The courtyard still maintained the appearance of Lu Yan when she saw her for the second time in the evening, and there were a lot of herbs in a messy manner, Lu Yan suddenly felt that her eyes were slightly sour, she didn't stop, and walked quickly to the pharmacy.

The inside of the pharmacy seemed to have been cleaned, very clean, and the bottles and cans that had been messily placed in the past were gone, and only a lacquered wooden box was placed in the most conspicuous place. One of the lacquered wooden boxes is very familiar to Lu Yanwan, it is the box that Meng Feiyang used to place the human skin mask.

Lu Yuwan's heart "pounded" a few times, and then she walked over, took a deep breath, and opened another lacquered wooden box, the box was filled with many bottles and cans, each color was different, Lu Yanwan had been by Meng Feiyang's side for so long, and naturally knew what these were, on weekdays, Meng Feiyang was not good at these things, and she was not allowed to touch them, but now she was left with a full box, Lu Yanwan blinked her eyes vigorously, feeling that it was getting more and more sour. At the bottom of the box, there is also a somewhat yellowed booklet, Lu Yanwan carefully took it out, opened it and looked at it, it turned out to be a notebook, the top records are all methods and experiences of using poison to mix poison, and the last few pages are the formula of poison and the method of detoxification, there are two kinds of notes on the top of the booklet, one of which is newer, Lu Yanwan is very familiar with it, it is Meng Feiyang's note, Meng Feiyang said that he would teach her poison techniques, he did not break his promise, this thin booklet can benefit her a lot.

Lu Yanwan carefully hid the booklet close to his body, and then opened another box, in this box lay quietly five thin human skin masks, each of which was different in gender and age, there were men and women, old and young, all lifelike, Lu Yanwan's injured fingers gently stroked those masks, and tears finally flowed uncontrollably, dripping on those masks, and quickly sliding down.

Didn't she already know that this was the end, why was she still so sad, from the first day I met him, I knew that he was not an ordinary person, and he could learn so many things from him, shouldn't he be content? Lu Yanwan asked herself in her heart, but no matter how she comforted herself, her heart was always uncomfortable, as if something important had been lost......

Lu Yanwan took a bad and inconspicuous linen cloth to wrap up these things left by Meng Feiyang, and carried them back to the church, Zhen'er naturally waited for her to come back, Lu Yanwan just said a few perfunctory words to her with a look of anger, put the burden under the bed, lay down on the bed and fell asleep, Zhen'er didn't know what happened to Lu Yanwan, so naturally there was no way to persuade her, so she could only sigh helplessly, leave the room, and let Lu Yanwan rest alone.

Lu Yan slept until the next morning, but he was awakened by hunger, touching his dizzy head, leaning on the bed, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what to think again.

Zhen'er came several times yesterday, and saw that Lu Huanwan had been sleeping again, and she couldn't bear to wake her up, and she came over early in the morning today, and saw that Lu Huanwan finally woke up, so she immediately brought a bowl of chicken soup to her and persuaded: "I don't know what's wrong with you, but no matter what happens, you can't ignore your body, you have injuries on your body, and you don't eat like this now, don't think that you're okay when you're young, but you're going to fall ill in the future, hurry, listen to my sister's words, drink this bowl of chicken soup, and make up for your body first." ”

Lu Yanwan was not such a masochistic person, and besides, she was already hungry, so she obediently took the chicken soup and drank it one by one.

The chicken soup has been dried by Zhen'er for a while, and it is not hot, and Lu Yuwan quickly drank a bowl. Zhen'er smiled with satisfaction, took the bowl, and asked again, "Do you want to drink some more, I made a pot." ”

Lu Yanwan shook his head and said calmly: "One bowl is enough, and it's weird to drink chicken soup early in the morning, so I'd better drink some white porridge." ”

Zhen'er saw that Lu Yanwan seemed to be recovering her spirits, and her face was immediately relieved, so she hurriedly went to serve a bowl of white porridge, and slowly fed Lu Yanwan to drink, a bowl of white porridge went down to her stomach, and Lu Yanwan finally felt a lot better in her stomach.

Zhen'er saw that Lu Yan seemed to be back to normal, so she dared to ask: "What happened to you yesterday, you have been in a state of mind since you came back from Dr. Meng, although I have always known that you have a good relationship with Dr. Meng, but he only went out temporarily, and he is not dead or injured, why do you seem to have lost your soul!" ”

Lu Yanwan knew that Zhen'er was worried about herself, but she couldn't tell her that Zhen'er was reborn and would not know the ability of the prophet, so she considered it and said: "Sister Zhen'er, this time Dr. Meng saved my life, I am very grateful in my heart, I have always been Dr. Meng is my benefactor, but I also think that he is a very mysterious person, you think, he is so superb in medicine, why is he still in the obscure Xiaolang near us, I have a hunch, he went out this time, and he may not come back in the future, I couldn't say 'thank you' to him in person, I was very disappointed, and that's why I ......."

Zhen'er has always admired Meng Feiyang very much, and after listening to Lu Yanwan's words, she also believed a little, nodded and said: "I have long seen that Dr. Meng is not an ordinary person, he can't stay in a small place like ours often, but you don't have to be sad about this, even if he really doesn't come back, he can know your mind, after all, the heart of the doctor's parents, it is the doctor's job to treat the sick and save people, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Lu Yanwan looked at her words and coaxed Zhen'er, so she nodded and didn't say anything more, let's go, let's go, I'm not a person all the way, and an acquaintance is considered fate.

After another half a month, Lu Huiwan's hand is finally good, the days have reached October, after the beginning of winter, the weather suddenly cooled down, Si Qingqing sympathized with Lu Huiwan's body just right, and did not let her do heavy work, only every night in the box to help the guests warm wine, pour wine, Si Qingqing now has four female envoys by his side plus Lu Huiwan, plus eight rough envoys, the work assigned to each female envoy is naturally much less, although Zhen'er left Lu Huanwan felt a little lonely, but the days are much faster than before, She has more time to study the booklet left by Meng Feiyang, the poison technique in it is very exquisite, and fortunately she has studied medical skills with Meng Feiyang for more than a year, otherwise she is really afraid that she will not understand, no wonder Meng Feiyang refused to teach her poison art at the beginning, if this thing is not done well, it is easy to hurt others and hurt herself.

Since the disappearance of Xiangjun, the atmosphere in the workshop has been a little tense, Chun's mother seems to be more strict with the management of the female jiji of Yichun Academy, if there is no special situation, basically they are not allowed to go out of the workshop at will, and they will send more female envoys to follow when they go out to perform in the nobles' house, for fear that there will be the next Xiangjun, after all, every female ji in Yichun Academy is carefully cultivated in the workshop, and it has immeasurable value for the workshop, and no one can be lost.

This didn't have a big impact on Lu Yanwan, but he felt that Si Qingqing's pick-up frequency was much more intensive than before, and Yichun Courtyard had one less top card, so the pressure on other female Ji was naturally much greater.

Lu Hui went to Junqi Pavilion once after her injury, just standing from a distance and watching, she had an indescribable complicated feeling in her heart, she should have thought that Xiangjun was caught, so that she might have a chance to ask her the truth of the matter, but she had some resistance in her heart, if the truth was really what she imagined, she might not know how to face it.

In the early morning of this day, Lu Xiwan had just gotten up and was returning from the kitchen with hot water, when she saw Zhen'er standing at the door of the room waiting for her, holding a big food box in her hand, and her dark face was slightly red from the morning cold.

Lu Yanwan was slightly surprised, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come here so early?" ”

"Come into the house, this damn weather, it's cold to me." Zhen'er rubbed her hands and said with a white breath.

Because now this house is only Lu Yanwan living alone, so she will lock the door when she leaves, and Zhen'er can only wait outside the house.

Lu Hui opened the lock late and entered the house with Zhen'er, Zhen'er put the food box on the table, and then said complainingly: "What's the matter with you, you don't even burn a charcoal basin in the house, it's November, it's getting colder and colder day by day, be careful of frostbite, your body is just right!" ”

Lu Yanwan felt that Zhen'er was becoming more and more like a nagging grandmother, but she also obediently took the charcoal and burned it, and said helplessly: "Didn't I get up already, thinking that I would no longer stay in the house after a while, so I didn't burn it, rest assured, I will never wronged myself." Saying this, he turned back to Zhen'er and asked, "By the way, why did you come here today, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhen'er glanced at Lu Yanwan with disgust, and then took out the contents of the big food box, and kept muttering, "I don't know what to say about you, you are too concerned about your own affairs, have you forgotten what day it is?" ”

Lu Yanwan held charcoal in her hand, tilted her head and thought for a while, until she saw the bowl of longevity noodles in Zhen'er's hand, and then suddenly said, "It seems to be ...... It's my birthday, right? ”

"Give me the word 'bar', I can't remember my birthday, I'm really heartless, quick! Come and eat Shou Noodles. ”

Lu Yanwan looked at the table full of dishes and snacks, and her eyebrows suddenly warmed, her birthday, even she couldn't remember it, but she didn't expect anyone to remember. RS
