Chapter 88: The Birthday Banquet (8)

The sky is only white, and some of the guards who patrol the night have just finished their shifts and are about to rest, and Shen Luo has already woken up at this moment. She propped herself up and pulled the curtain open, and then put her hand back into the mattress, as if greedy for the warmth and comfort inside.

When Su Zhi came back from Yucheng, she would go to sleep on the ground again...... Thinking about it like this, Shen Luo hated to go back to sleep again, but she still had important things to do today, so she had to hold on to her tired body and sit upright for a while.

The red candles in the hall were still not burned out, and the dim and swaying candlelight was swaying through the gaps in the curtains of the bed, swaying and fragmented light and shadow, sprinkling a reddish color on the slender body that sat quietly and quietly. Around this imperial city, the bloody wind and rain, the undercurrent is surging, and at this moment, it quietly exudes a bit of comfort and warmth.

Shen Luo sighed faintly, and her vague voice revealed a bit of exhaustion, but in a flash, she had already gotten up from the couch.

After standing quietly for a moment, there was a knock on the door outside the hall, and then Fran's voice was heard, and Shen Luo called her in. When Fran entered the hall, she was already carrying a basin of steaming water, and soon served Shen Luo to freshen up, changed her clothes and tied her hair in a bun, cleaned up, and the two went out of the house together.

Hua Yi was already waiting by the carriage, and the three of them got into the carriage and set off.

All the way out of Chang'an Street, turn around Zhuque Street, because in the early morning except for the stalls selling breakfast, there are not many pedestrians, so the carriage runs very smoothly, it only takes about half an hour, the carriage goes up Yuan'an Street.

Because of the early morning and the hard work of yesterday, Fran swayed with the slightly bumpy carriage along the way, closed his eyes for a long time, until Shi Dahai's voice came in from outside the carriage, saying that Ma Lianma's house was about to arrive, Fran suddenly opened his eyes and said to the carriage: "The sea, are you mistaken?" ”

"The sea, keep walking, yes."

But it was Shen Luo who opened his mouth to answer, and the carriage was still walking, and Fran had already turned her face to look at Shen Luo at this time, with a blank expression: "Didn't that woman send her to Ma Jianyuan and Master Ma's mansion?" The corpse should still be with Ma Jianyuan, right? How did you become Master Ma Lianma? ”

The corners of Shen Luo's mouth twitched slightly: "Who said that you went to ask for a corpse?" ”

"Huh?" Fran didn't get it.

Leaning back, Shen Luo turned his head sideways next to the back window, stretched out his hand and pushed the back window open a very thin slit, glanced outside, and said after putting down the back window: "I'm afraid you don't know, that woman didn't die in Ma Jianyuan's house, but in Ma Lian's house." ”

"Huh?!" Fran was taken aback again, and even more confused, thinking about how Shen Luo knew, so she stared at a pair of round eyes and waited for Shen Luo's next words, even Hua Yi looked sideways slightly and listened carefully.

"I have something important to do today." As he spoke, Shen Luo's gaze fell on Hua Yi for a moment, "I'm afraid I still need you to do me a favor." ”

"Princess, please command."

Hua Yi has always been like this, she only cares about Shen Luo's safety, this is her task, whether the rest of the purpose is or calculating, she shouldn't care or bother to care. Shen Luo heard her answer, so he raised his hand and motioned for Hua Yi to come over, Hua Yi was as kind as a stream, and the two of them put their heads together under Fran's even more surprised gaze, and openly whispered.

Just after Shen Luo finished speaking and sat up straight again, Fran hurriedly said, "What can't I listen to?" ”

Shen Luo blinked and smiled: "You also have your mission." ”

As he spoke, Shen Luo took out a red particle from his cuff and handed it to Fran, Fran took it in a daze, saw Shen Luo raise his hand to signal, and hurriedly attached his ear to it, Shen Luo also whispered a few words in Fran's ear, and then retreated, while Fran was stunned for a while before nodding.

At this time, Shi Dahai said outside that he had arrived outside the gate of Mafu, and soon, the carriage stopped, the three of them got out of the carriage, and Shen Luo sent Fran to call the door.

Today, because they had ulterior motives, they naturally couldn't tell them in advance that they were ready, so they came to visit by surprise, and they wanted to come to visit a weak princess herself, and they wouldn't have thought that Shen Luo had ulterior motives.

Sure enough, the little guy went in and passed the word, and soon came out again and welcomed the three of them in.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Mrs. Ma had already stepped on her steps and hurriedly greeted her, seeing each other from afar, Mrs. Ma's face was already smiling, and she hurriedly approached, and hurriedly blessed and bowed: "The princess is coming, I am not far away." ”

Shen Luo pursed his lips and smiled, and also replied: "I was abrupt, but I really came here today." In a few days, it will be Kang's birthday banquet, and two days after tomorrow, we will prepare gifts and arrange trivial matters in the house, but I am afraid that it will be busy, so I can only take the liberty to disturb it today. ”

Mrs. Ma's eyes moved slightly, and she assigned a maid to lead the way in front, and accompanied Shen Luo to the side hall: "Where is the princess, you are a nobleman, and you can come to enjoy the light, where will we pick the time, but I don't know...... There is something the princess said... What's going on? ”

Shen Luo glanced at Mrs. Ma at this time, although her expression was kind, but Mrs. Ma was looked at by her, her heart was weak, and even her cheeks couldn't help twitching for a moment, and then, Mrs. Ma heard Shen Luo smile and said: "It's not that it doesn't matter, it's just that not long ago, the palace sent a girl to Master Ma Jianyuan, but somehow, she died in your mansion, I'll just ask." ”

Although Shen Luo was walking casually when she said this, and her eyes were looking at the front in a regular manner, in fact, she kept looking at Mrs. Ma's expression with her spare eyes, at this time, everyone was passing through the small courtyard, not far from the side hall, and Mrs. Ma's steps gradually slowed down with Shen Luo's words.

Seeing Mrs. Ma glancing at a maid beside her, Shen Luo pretended not to know, and slowed down her pace, and finally simply stopped, pointed to a daisy on the side of the path in the yard and said: "This daisy is dotted with stars, and it blooms very cutely, I don't know if Mrs. is taking care of it herself, or is it taken care of by the people below?" ”

Mrs. Ma shook her head, then she reacted and hurriedly said, "Ah... I've always loved to raise flowers and plants, and I fiddled with them myself. Mrs. Ma only thought about opening the topic and dragged her own adults to save the scene, so she continued: "The princess also likes to raise some flowers and plants?" ”

"Exactly...," Shen Luo said with a smile, "It's just that I don't have the meticulous mind of my wife, and I can't support it all the time." ”

"Where is the princess..."Mrs. Ma glanced behind her, the maid had not come back yet, so she had to follow up and said: "This flower raising is not a delicate job, but there are some skills, why don't I tell the princess?" ”
