Chapter Twenty-Three: Turning the Stars Shifting
"A-Niang, what did you say to him?" Jing Li stared at the old lady suspiciously.
The old lady just sat quietly, her old face was indescribably heavy, "The old man asked him to go to the palace to find someone." ”
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the old lady said lightly, "The half-blue girl next to the Queen Mother." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Who doesn't know that the half-blue girl is a big celebrity next to the Queen Mother, smart and beautiful, and it is rumored that the Queen Mother Heshun intends to give her to Emperor Youxi as a concubine in recent years.
So Jing took a big step forward and asked, "The half-blue girl is one of ours?" ”
The old lady's face moved slightly, and she squinted and said, "Yes, but not all." After a pause, he glanced at an inconspicuous maid in the hall.
The girl's face was lowered, but her body was trembling slightly.
"The sister of the half-blue girl is in our house, so do you think she is our person?" The old lady smiled, but the light in her eyes exploded.
The girl's expression shimmered slightly, and her pale face flickered in the swaying wind. Everyone took a look, and sure enough, the eyebrows were somewhat similar to the half-blue.
Jing Lidao turned out to be like this, and his heart unconsciously settled down.
Generally, the most important affection between sisters is true, and the half-blue girl in the palace must be the same.
It's just that his fourth sister Jingrou, where is she at this moment, is she safe...
"My sister, she... She's not going to help us. The girl suddenly spoke, soft and tight, and her sudden nervousness surprised everyone.
The old lady said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The girl opened her mouth several times, but finally sobbed in a low voice, looking at a loss, and did not answer.
Seeing this, the old lady snorted coldly, waved her hand impatiently, and several guards stepped forward to hold the girl's shoulders, and pulled her down despite her crying.

As the sun set in the west, Rulan wore a straw hat to cover her face and hurriedly walked into a ready-to-wear shop called "Ruyi Pavilion".
In the evening, people are busy boiling the pot to cook, or rushing home, and there are few people in the store at this time.
"Give me a decent dress!" Rulan said eagerly, took out a few pieces of silver and threw them on the desk.
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and looked at the woman wearing the clothes of the general's mansion with disdain, and he didn't know what happened in the general's mansion, "What material does the girl want for clothes?" ”
When Rulan heard this, she pointed to the broken silver on the table, and said in a loud voice: "Just these few dollars, you can do it!" ”
Seeing this, the shopkeeper slowly picked up the broken silver on the table, checked it, pursed his lips, and threw over a coarse cloth dress.
Rulan scolded, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the shopkeeper, her stubby hands hurriedly took off her subordinate clothes and threw them on the ground, and then changed into coarse cloth clothes, and was about to turn around and go out, but she heard a few woodcutters and butchers who were hurrying home talking and laughing.
"Do you know, the Dingguo General's Mansion is over now!"
......
"Isn't it, I heard that all the men in the house are dead."
......
"This old general Jing has also been loyal all his life, what's going on..."
......
"After all, it's none of our business, let's go home and eat, I'm hungry after a busy day."
......
"Yes, yes, yes! Go home! ”
......
The shopkeeper glanced at Rulan, and he knew a rough idea in his heart, so his expression became more and more disdainful.
"What are you looking at?" Rulan unexpectedly was exposed, blushed, glared at the shopkeeper, hurriedly lowered the brim of the straw hat, and when she saw that there was no one around, she hurried out of the ready-to-wear shop, but went in the opposite direction to the palace.
The shopkeeper sighed lightly, shook his head, picked up the general's subordinates on the ground, and threw it into the rag bucket at the door of the store.

Jia Mo didn't know how long he walked before he saw the incomparably noble and brilliant palace gate suddenly appear in front of him.
The golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the setting sun, as if they are made of gold and silver jewelry, and the glazed tiles and the red palace gate are dazzling and magnificent.
Jia Mo sighed lightly, it had been several years since he last came to this palace.
But his identity has changed from the second son of the Jiangnan Jia family to the small commander of the Dingguo General's Mansion.
He walked to the door, took out a token, and signaled it to the guard in front of the palace, who respectfully let him go.
What he showed was not the token of the Dingguo General's Mansion, but the Jia token, which symbolized one of the four major families.
Smooth passage, as Jia Mo and the old lady expected.
He didn't hide his identity, but because of some things, he was expelled from the mansion by the eldest brother who was the head of the family, and then joined the army to fight on the battlefield, and was taken to the mansion by Jing Dusk, and became the commander of the dark guard at a young age.
"Deep Palace, this son, I don't know who to find?" Xu is eyes looked at the comer, and a beautiful young girl stopped him, and said crisply.
Jia Mo hurriedly woke up from his memories, looked around, and unknowingly walked into the deep palace.
"Please forgive the girl, I don't mean to offend, I don't mean to offend." Presumably it was caused by the Jia token on his waist, and no one stopped him along the way, Jia Mo complained bitterly and said continuously.
The girl snorted coldly, "I ask you who you are looking for?" Besides, I'm going to call someone. ”
"I'm looking for the half-blue girl down here."
The young girl suddenly fell silent when she heard this, and only glanced at him for a long time, and said in a low voice, "I am, come with me"
Jia Mo said that it was a coincidence, and he hurriedly followed, but he didn't notice that there was suddenly a woman's sachet on his waist.
Half an hour later.
Banlan sat on the ground, and Jia Mo half-squatted beside her, without saying a word, but when she saw Banlan's beautiful eyes, which were already gloomy and gray, she knew that she had been crying for a long time.
She whispered, "Thank you for telling me all this." ”
Jia Mo didn't speak, and his eyes didn't meet Banlan, but he said bitterly: "I'm no longer from the Jia family." ”
Banlan couldn't deny it, and changed the subject and asked, "If I do what you say, can I get my sister safe?" ”
Jia Mo nodded heavily.
"Alright, you can go back." Half Blue Road.
With a heavy sigh of relief, Jia Mo got up and bowed, but he hadn't gone far, but he felt weak and fell down softly.
The sticky liquid flowed out of the seven orifices, and Jia Mo reached out to touch it, but it was bright red blood.
Banlan's expression was faint, he lowered down and took the sachet from his waist, waved his hand to a few maidservants, and said coldly: "Throw it into the well." ”
Jia Mo lay on the ground and clenched his fingers.
Several handmaidens lifted him up and threw him into the well of the deep palace like an insignificant object.
Banlan just glanced at it indifferently and ruthlessly, and then turned away.
Jia Mo knew the plan, but the vitality in his body was passing rapidly, he pursed his lips, stopped talking, and quietly looked at the stone wall patterns in the well.
He suddenly regretted not listening to his eldest brother.
The sunset sun poured in through the mouth of the well and fell on his blood-soaked face, like a warm gold edge.
In the haze, he seemed to hear someone say, "Do you want to live?" ”
Jia Mo blinked.
