"Sister Guyue, thank you so much tonight. Outside the small door of Musheng Pavilion, Hua Mian thanked Gu Yue.

Gu Yue had a faint face and urged her in a low voice: "You go in quickly, don't let people see it." ”

"Sister Guyue, I'm in. Hua Mian carefully pushed open the small door and entered the Musheng Pavilion lightly. Lone Moon didn't stay long, and hurriedly left here under the cover of night.

Hua Mian entered the courtyard and was not in a hurry to rest, but first slipped to the side room where Liu Zhilan lived to take a look, and saw that the lights in the house were off, so she put down her heart and tiptoed back to sleep in the courtyard attached to Musheng Pavilion.

Musheng Pavilion is remote, and even the attached courtyard where the people live is not big, and the small maids and maids live in two small rooms, but fortunately, there are not many people waiting in this courtyard, otherwise they can squeeze people to death when they are resting on a bed.

Zhencha Jiaqin followed Liu Zhilan, and the subordinates in Musheng Pavilion used the excuse that there was really no extra space left for them in the bed in the attached courtyard. There was no way, so they had to temporarily build a small bed the size of a palm next to the bed in the maid's room, and the two of them squeezed on it to make do with it, and finally they had to move out, so they didn't ask for anything.

When Hua Mian entered the room, she deliberately took a closer look at Zhencha and Juqin. The weather was cold, Zhen Cha Qiqin closed a thin quilt, and the two of them hugged each other in their sleep, but their bodies were still trembling slightly.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the two of them, Hua Mian climbed to his place on the bed with complete confidence, wrapped himself in the quilt and yawned and fell asleep groggy.

With the sound of even long breathing in the room, Zhen Cha Liqin on the small bed opened her eyes at the same time. They quietly got up and looked at the sleeping flower sleep on the Chase bunk, and then opened and closed the door with a swift and silent movement.

"Girl. The two sneaked into the willow orchid room, knelt on the ground and whispered to the couch in the dark.

"Take a blackout cloth and cover it. The man on the couch made a note of Suosuo's movement, and he should have sat up on the couch.

When Qi Qinzhen got the order, he took out a few blackout cloths hidden from the bottom of the couch, and then hung them on the window with his hands and feet.

"The girl is clever, that Huamian really went to Qingfeng Yuan tonight. "Zhen tea lit the lamp, and the light of the room was invisible from the outside of the house. Juqin knelt on one knee and reported to Liu Zhilan: "This dishonest person is really impatient. The girl threw a fishhook and she immediately caught it!"

Liu Zhilan has not slept all the time, waiting for Juqin to come back and report to her after the news. "She went to report the news, Ming Yuelan believed?"

The slave saw from the roof that Ming Xiaoniang didn't believe it at first, and slapped Huamian, but in the end, Ming Xiaoniang gave Huamian a pair of silver hairpins. "Qiqin said.

Liu Zhilan raised her lips and smiled lightly, she stretched out a hand to Zhen Cha, Zhen Tea would give her a cup of tea, she took it and took a sip, and said, "This is the letter." ”

"The prey has entered the net, I wonder when the girl plans to close the net?" asked Juqin.

"Don't worry," Liu Zhilan muttered, staring at the warm water in the cup, "boil the frog in warm water, so that in the end the frog will not have the strength to escape." ”

Lian Qin nodded, and then reported: "Girl, the slave maid also found out an interesting thing. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Liu Zhilan.

"Girl, when the slave maid followed Hua Mian, she saw the lonely moon beside the third girl, and she also went to Qingfeng Garden with Hua Mian. After Juqin finished speaking, Liu Zhilan didn't care and said: "Guyue is Liu Hanxue's personal maid, and it is normal for Liu Hanxue to send her to Qingfeng Garden. ”

But when Huamian met Guyue, the slave saw Guyue hesitating at the intersection. Qi Qin said: "At first, it was Hua Mian who begged Gu Yue to lead the way for her, and Gu Yue was with Hua Mian, but on the way, the slave and maid vaguely heard Gu Yue say to Hua Mian that she was also going to Qingfeng Yuan, but this was really inconsistent with the slave and maid's observation of her behavior of shirking Hua Mian at the beginning. ”

Liu Zhilan was a little interested, "You mean, Gu Yue didn't originally go to Qingfeng Garden?" she thought for a moment, "If Liu Hanxue sent Gu Yue to do things in a place other than Qingfeng Yuan, then Gu Yue would definitely turn down Hua Mian's request." Liu Hanxue's temperament is impatient, and if things are done late, Liu Hanxue will definitely punish Guyue heavily. Look at it this way......"

"Did she sneak out?" Zhen Cha, who was waiting on the side, blurted out after listening to a lot, Liu Zhilan nodded, "It's not impossible." ”

"But what do you want to do secretly?" Zhen Cha suddenly became vigilant in curiosity: "Could it be that she is secretly plotting to avenge the Lord?" Thinking of Liu Hanxue being injured by the concubine, Gu Yue is Liu Hanxue's personal maid, so this may also be there.

As soon as Kezhen Tea finished speaking, Liu Zhilan shook her head with a smile and denied: "Impossible, it is impossible for Guyue to take revenge on me for Liu Hanxue." ”

"Why?" Zhen Cha was puzzled.

Liu Zhilan explained: "Liu Hanxue is known as a talented woman, and her temperament may be a little rude when everyone in the imperial capital comes to see her, but in the eyes of the people in Liufu, Liu Hanxue is out-and-out vicious. ”

"Vicious?" Even Juqin was a little puzzled at this moment, "The slave maid saw that she just had a bad temper, and her mind was worse when she followed Ming Yuelan, why was she vicious?"

Liu Zhilan sneered: "My third sister, don't look at her as only twelve years old, but it is estimated that there are more than a dozen lives in her hands." ”

In her previous life, when Liu Zhilan first arrived in Liufu, she saw Liu Hanxue beat a subordinate to death, and she forced Liu Hanxue to kowtow to the corpse of the subordinate for a day in a moment of anger, and finally Liu Zhengqian and Ming Yuelan knelt down to blackmail her to eliminate Liu Hanxue's punishment. Since then, Liu Hanxue has never moved against the subordinates in the house, and Liu Hanxue has behaved more docile in front of her.

However, not long after the death of that subordinate, Liu Hanxue was poisoned and assassinated. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and Liu Hanxue only took a day or two of medicine and recovered. At that time, Liu Zhilan thoroughly investigated all the people in Liufu, and finally found out that the person who poisoned Liu Hanxue was the maid Guyue next to Liu Hanxue, and the reason was that the person who was killed by Liu Hanxue was her sister Fanxing. Liu Zhilan knew that the whole incident was caused by Liu Hanxue, so she only drove Gu Yue out of the house and did not execute her with family law. After Gu Yue was driven away, this matter came to an end, and she never heard of Gu Yue again.

"At such a young age, you are so cruel and murderous!" Zhencha frowned. She looked at Liu Zhilan, who was young and had a lot of lives on her hands, but she was the head of a faction, and she lived every day licking blood on the tip of a knife. But Liu Hanxue is different, she grew up with a golden spoon since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing, and she lives freely, but she still has a lot of lives in her hands, which can only be due to tyranny by nature.

"But how does the girl know?" asked Lianqin, staring at Liu Zhilan. Since arriving in the imperial capital, she has felt more and more that Liu Zhilan knows a lot of things in the imperial capital, but Liu Zhilan has never sent anyone to inquire about the affairs of the imperial capital, and it stands to reason that Liu Zhilan will not know these things. Although she shouldn't be too talkative as a subordinate, she is really curious about Liu Zhilan's sources.

Liu Zhilan drank the remaining water in the cup, and when Zhencha took the empty cup and put it on the table, she listened to Liu Zhilan say: "It's a ghost chess." ”

"Ghost chess?" Qi Qin furrowed her eyebrows, "Hasn't he been sent on a mission by you for two years and hasn't been heard from for two years......?" Girl, what the hell is going on?"

Facing the inquiring gaze of Zhen Cha and Qinqin, Liu Zhilan said lightly: "He is in the imperial capital, but the time has not yet come, and I will tell you when the time comes." ”

"But he ......" Qi Qin still wanted to ask, but was cut off by Liu Zhilan, "Don't ask about ghost chess now, or tell me about Lonely Moon tonight." ”

Juan Qin looked at Zhen Cha, Zhen Cha shook her head helplessly, Ju Qin bit her lower lip and sank her face for a moment before saying, "The slave heard Gu Yue ask Ming Yuelan about the stars. ”

"Fanxing, Guyue's sister?" Liu Zhilan's heart moved, and asked, "What's wrong with Fanxing?"

Juan Qin shook her head, "I don't know the details, but I just know that the stars seem to be missing." ”

"How long have you been missing?" asked Liu Zhilan. But Ju Qin still shook her head and said she didn't know, so Liu Zhilan said directly: "Tomorrow, you will inquire in the mansion to see what is going on with the disappearance of this star." "If nothing else, this star is most likely dead now as it was in his previous life, and how he died will have to be investigated again.

"Yes. Qi Qinzhen replied in unison, they had nothing to report, and Liu Zhilan said: "You go to rest, I'm also a little sleepy." ”

Zhen Cha Qiqin saluted, then removed the blackout cloth, extinguished the lamp, and retreated. Before leaving, Ju Qin turned back to the direction of the bed and said: "Master, your subordinates know that you have your own plans in mind about returning to the imperial capital, but your subordinates are your subordinates, and your subordinates are here to protect the safety of your master, and you will be born and die." The subordinates don't know how dangerous what you are doing now, the subordinates only implore the master to protect himself, and the master can rely on his subordinates if necessary, just like the ladies and maids of other families...... Carrying everything on their own. ”

Qiqin waited, in the darkness she couldn't see the expression of the person on the couch clearly, and after waiting for a long time without getting an answer, she bit her lower lip and said in her heart: "The slave maid does not delay the girl's rest, and the slave and maid retire." ”

The wooden door closed slowly, and Liu Zhilan was still sitting on the couch, she stared blankly in the direction of the door, her expression sad hidden in the darkness. can't rely on it, she can only carry all the love, hatred, and hatred in her previous life. Those blood and tears, those grudges, she must plan and collect debts by herself, no one in this world can share her pain, everything in the past and this life can only be carried on by herself.

"You can't rely on her, then you can always rely on me, right?" I don't know when there were more figures at the table, Liu Zhilan was immersed in her thoughts and was suddenly awakened, she looked at the person nervously, and the sadness on her face was hidden for a moment, "When did you come?"

The snake yin fang put his arm on the table to support his head, and said mischievously: "I've been here for a long time, but you're so busy, you're still conspiring with the people below to calculate others at such a late hour, so I can only wait on the roof all the time." ”

"You've been on the roof?" Liu Zhilan frowned, the Snake Yin Fang's martial arts skills were not high, she didn't even notice that he was on the roof? She remembered that when they first met in the Bamboo Pavilion, she didn't notice that the Snake Yin Fang had entered her room. But she did feel it when he came the night before, was it just that she was so indulged in worry that she didn't notice it?

"Of course," the snake yin fang moved a stool and sat on the edge of the couch, "Could it be that you, who are as profound as a branch of martial arts, are you not even aware of my existence?"

"Less poor mouth. Liu Zhilan was sure that she was just thinking too much and didn't notice him, "You still dare to come?"

"Zhilan, I've sent it to the building, if I don't come, I'll be thankful. The snake yin fang said again: "Moreover, even if you want to dismantle me into eight pieces, as the Phoenix Lord of the Yin Pavilion of the Bone Annihilation Pavilion, for the sake of you and me, I have to sacrifice my life to come here, so as to live up to my identity." ”

The corners of Liu Zhilan's mouth twitched, "You don't want to call me by my name." ”

"Why?" said the snake fang, unhappily, "I don't have a good voice? no, what a nice voice I have." ”

"......" Liu Zhilan said coldly: "Lord Feng, you and I are not familiar enough to call me by my name." "Today's snake yin fang feels so strange, why do you think he seems to be more out of the way than before?
