Nian Xiaojiao took a deep breath. The love is deep but separated by yin and yang, and this love can be recalled. She looked at the little marquis in the deep pit where he was buried. Single eyelids, round face, white-faced scholar, gentle and moist. Probably because he was protected by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, he couldn't think about it for a while in the face of the death of his mother.

"Little Houye, if I tell you that the plague in Linguan is not a natural disaster, what will you do?" Nian Xiaojiao looked at Chun Tianhe, the eldest prince of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, steadily.

Chun Tianhe looked up at Nian Xiaojiao, and his eyes turned from a dead silence to confusion, and finally a fire of anger erupted.

He jumped out of the deep pit one by one, and in an instant, he came to Nian Xiaojiao's body, and grabbed her shoulder:

"What did you say?"

"Literally, the plague is not providential, but man-made." Reading Xiaojiao's words is beady, and it hits the heart of Chuntianhe.

"Who did it?" Chun Tianhe gritted his teeth and asked.

"Childe, you let me go first, you pinched me." Nian Xiaojiao looked at Chun Tianhe's hand tugging on his shoulder, he pushed too hard, penetrated deep into the skin, and his bones hurt.

Chun Tianhe realized that because he was too anxious, he didn't have the strength to say: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I beg the girl to tell me the truth of the matter." ”

"That's all I say, whether you can avenge your little lady depends on the son's ability." The corners of Nian Xiaojiao's mouth rose, smiled slightly, and withdrew from the crowd step by step, ready to leave.

"Girl!" When Chun Tianhe first heard the news, how could he let it go so easily, he staggered after him. "Ask the girl to tell me!" ”

Nian Xiaojiao stopped her pace and finally spoke: "If your lady is alive, you must not want to see your gang looking for death and life, if you really want to be good for her, then stand up by yourself, go out, and find out all this." Prove to your lady that your so-called liking is not just talking, not just playing in a mud puddle like a pus. ”

After speaking, Nian Xiaojiao walked without dragging her feet, leaving only a back for everyone to drift away.

"I'm not a!" Chun Tianhe roared.

In the end, Nian Xiaojiao heard that there was a sword qi behind her, and it broke through the air and sounded. She couldn't help but look back, and the sword of Chun Tianhe approached the clearing, stirring up a deep pit. Looking like a white-faced student, I never thought that the destructive power was also amazing. As the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who defends the country, how can he really be a puss bag who has no power to restrain the chicken?

Nian Xiaojiao smiled knowingly, he shouldn't be looking for death and life anymore.

It's good to live, even if it's for hate.

"Let's go, we are no longer needed here." Nian Xiaojiao, a group of four, is really leaving. He didn't pay attention to the people of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion who were busy burying behind him.

When I returned to the inn, it was already lunchtime, and Nian Xiaojiao's stomach rumbled, only to realize that she was already hungry with her chest against her back, and she was too anxious in the morning to even eat breakfast.

The name of this inn is called the Quartet, and it means to attract all directions, and there are friends from all over the world, and the innkeeper is afraid that he is an extraordinary person.

It was close to noon, and there were so many people eating lunch in the lobby that there were no empty tables as far as the eye could see.

"Qing Yu, order some delicious food, let's send it to the room to eat." Nian Xiaojiao didn't stop, and walked through the lobby to return to the backyard accommodation. Halfway through walking, my back burned, and I felt cold. Nian Xiaojiao turned around suddenly, looked around, and was full of happy diners, cups and plates staggered, laughter, and excitement.

Nian Xiaojiao forcibly suppressed the feeling of discomfort in her heart, is it an illusion?

"What's wrong?" Blade Shadow stopped, looked back at Nian Xiaojiao and asked.

"I always feel like I'm being watched." Nian Xiaojiao glanced around again, and there was nothing abnormal.

"It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost. There is always a time when the horse's feet are exposed. Girl, don't go out alone lately. Blade Shadow instructed, he withdrew his sharp eyes, and looked at Nian Xiaojiao's gaze as warm as a spring breeze.

"Understood." Nian Xiaojiao led to the backyard. She lived in the room closest to the corner on the third floor, and after returning to the room, Nian Xiaojiao sat at the table and waited for her meal.

Her hand tapped on the table in a snap, her index finger touching the ashes, and she blew them away. It was the remnants of the letter burned last night, and the book on it is still vivid. It was the spies of the Senluo Temple who found out about the plague in Guanlin.

The Guanlin plague has recently spread in Cangyang State, and when it first appeared, it was infected for ten miles, but fortunately, the local bureaucrats reacted quickly enough and quarantined early to stop the momentum of the spread.

As for its origin, there are many suspicions.

And the letter mentioned the most likely......

Except for the plague. There is another thing in the market that attracts people's attention, that is, the advent of Kunlun Bell.

Shang Hong is really a hero, and Nian Xiaojiao is also happy for him, which is a thing that benefits the entire continent.

"Sister, it is rumored outside that the son of Shang Hong successfully obtained the Kunlun Bell in Kunlun Mountain."

"Yes, the luck is excellent, such an anti-heaven artifact can succeed in one fell swoop." Nian Xiaojiao smiled with relief.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and it was the inn's second child who was serving food. Qing Yu knows Xiao Jiao's heart very well. On the delicious roast duck, slice into small pieces. It is neatly placed on a moon-white porcelain plate, and is supplemented by small flowers next to it. In addition, the aroma of barbecue meat continues to come from the air, which is really full of color and flavor.

After a meal, Nian Xiaojiao ate to her heart's content.

As soon as he wanted to rest, a small servant from Jijintang came to report: "Miss Nian, my businessman asked me to inform you, if the girl is free, can you come to Jijintang to take a walk, there are important things to discuss." ”

"Good news?" Nian Xiaojiao asked.

"That's good news." The little guy replied in the affirmative.

Nian Xiaojiao's steps were brisk, and she followed the little girl out of the Quartet. Behind him, Thunder followed Qing Yu and Blade Shadow without moving.

Nian Xiaojiao walked briskly into the collection hall and saw it from afar. Shang Zuo was looking forward to the door, rubbing his palms, folding his feet, and looking out from afar.

"Yo, Master Shang Zuo, why are you so nervous." Nian Xiaojiao asked from afar.

"Oh, little ancestor, you're here."

"You're waiting for me at the door this time?"

"Not really." Shang Zuo pulled Nian Xiaojiao aside, and at the same time looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he muttered in a low voice.

"A noble person came to the palace today, and she fell in love with the hairpin you consigned, but she specified that she must meet you, so there is no way, so I have to beg the girl to run this way."

Nian Xiaojiao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, I don't have anything else to do, I'm just idle, just see you if you want to." ”

"Very good, please! Girl. Shang Zuo didn't want to delay for half a minute, but he didn't dare to let that noble man wait any longer. Busy took Nian Xiaojiao to a secluded room in the backyard, knocked lightly on the door, and then said to the people in the house:

"Guifei Niangniang, the little one brought the owner of the mandarin hairpin you want to see"

It turned out to be the concubine in the palace, Nian Xiaojiao never imagined it. The door opened, and there was a woman in the room, dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress, and she was very noble, standing with her back to the door.

The lotus step moved slightly, and the concubine turned around.

"Long time no see, Miss Nian."

Seeing the people in the house, Nian Xiaojiao was surprised. "It's you?" Ah Ci girl. ”

"Bold! The name of the concubine, but what can you call it? "There is a palace grandmother who is fierce and vicious, and loudly scolds Nian Xiaojiao.

Nian Xiaojiao looked at it, it was an elderly grandmother. The hair is already a little gray, probably because he has been a little steward in the palace for a long time, and his fierce appearance is not so good at first glance.

"It's abrupt, I don't understand the rules of the palace, I hope you forgive me." Nian Xiaojiao also doesn't want to cause trouble, hoping for harmony and anger. I didn't see that mama in general.

"Mama Zhang, Miss Miss is my old acquaintance when I was in my mother's house. I can't be called an exaggeration, we don't pay attention to so many rules when we leave the palace. Ah Ci's words were clear. did not offend Mama Zhang, but also guarded Nian Xiaojiao. It's a lot of things.

Nian Xiaojiao glanced at Ah Ci a few more times, that small town girl was very different from before. used to be a cautious, timid little girl. Now it is very graceful and luxurious, and there is a sense of majesty between the eyebrows and eyes, which makes people dare not blaspheme. In the end, he has been in the palace for a long time, and his temperament is very different from before.

"Dare to ask the concubine Niangniang to come to me, what are you doing?" Nian Xiaojiao went straight to the point and asked straightforwardly.

"This hairpin is so unique, this palace just wants to see it, to see who can make such a delicate thing." Ah Ci smiled. When she saw this iris hairpin for the first time, Ah Ci was shocked, and the changes in her life were also related to irises. It was a jade pendant. It is a jade pendant that reads Xiaojiao.

Because of the iris jade pendant, Ah Ci was brought into Yinyang City by Shang Hong, and by chance he was favored by the emperor, so he entered the palace and enjoyed this monstrous wealth. It was supposed to be grateful and satisfied, but ~~ unwillingly.

This time I saw the fleur-de-lis hairpin. thought it was related to that man, even if he was his fiancée, he couldn't get into his heart.

Ah Ci just wanted to see this hairpin, but it came from that person's hand. I didn't think about it, but I saw the woman she didn't want to see the most.

"You and Shang Honggong?"

"What does the concubine want to ask?"

"Are you together?"

"Niangniang is too worried, I have nothing to do with Shang Gongzi."

"Why did Miss Nian come to Kyoto's Yinyang Office?"

"For the sake of trading, because of lack of money, I came to Yinyang, in order to sell this hairpin."

Ah Ci smiled again, she has been in the palace for a long time, she is knowledgeable. Looking at the purple fox fur cloak that Nian Xiaojiao was wearing, he couldn't connect Nian Xiaojiao with the lack of silver. Probably because Nian Xiaojiao was guarding against something, and she didn't want to tell the truth. Ah Ci laughed at herself, how could people tell me the truth? Why?

Even if she has achieved the position of the concubine now, she is the object of envy of thousands of women. For some reason, in front of Nian Xiaojiao, she still couldn't raise half of her sense of superiority. Maybe there is a demon in her heart, she has seen her own destitute countryside.

Nian Xiaojiao has a kind of purity and no quarrel with the world. And what she doesn't like the most is that Nian Xiaojiao has no quarrel with the world.

I don't fight, but I have everything.

Money, status, and even that man.

"Haha, Miss Nian is really joking, if you are short of money, just go to the merchant son."

"Not every woman in this world can beg a man for money."

Reading Xiaojiao was unintentional, a casual word. But it was the concubine Niangniang who was completely angry.

What are you to dare to laugh at me for relying on men?
