Behind her, followed by a gorgeous carriage, on which sat Liu Qingling and a maid.

Today is the death day of Chu Ling's mother, because Chu Ling was busy with official business and couldn't spare time, so she specially asked Wei Xueying to go on her behalf, although the two of them were only husband and wife in name, but she was also a princess after all, so Wei Xueying went.

It just so happens that the weather is good, so it's time to go out.

Liu Qingling looked at the lively scene outside the carriage and seemed to have something on her mind.

Out of the city, a piece of spring, Wei Xueying has rarely gone out, and has never been out of the city for three years after coming to Northern Chu.

Out of the city, the group went to Swallow Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Chu Ling's mother was born from a humble background, she was originally a palace maid in a raccoon dress in the palace, and she did the most vulgar work, even if she gave birth to Chu Ling later, she never had a name.

After a serious illness killed her, the harem objected to burying her in the imperial mausoleum, so the emperor buried her in Swallow Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Wei Xueying has never been to Swallow Mountain, but when she looks at the foot of this mountain, she knows that the scenery on this mountain must be beautiful.

The towering mountain tops are towering, almost all of them have the potential to enter the clouds, you can see that there are small waterfalls jumping down the mountain, going up the mountain along the ancient mountain road, all the way to the halfway up the mountainside, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the imperial city, everywhere is already a lush, spring scene.

Wei Xueying was in a good mood, and watched Liu Qingling clean the mausoleum of Chu Ling's mother with her chest on the side, set up sacrifices and burn paper money, and waited for Liu Qingling to finish all this, and the group went down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Wei Xueying suddenly felt that the horse's mood was not quite right, and she was surprised, only to feel that the horse's hooves were raised, and the horse neighed, and ran like crazy!

Wei Xueying's heart was not good, Liu Qingling and the others behind her exclaimed, and before they could kick off the pedals, the horse had already lost control and crossed down from the mountains!

The sky was spinning, and Wei Xueying flew out......

Darkness struck, and Wei Xueying's eyelids sank and she fainted after realizing that she might be injured.

When Wei Xueying opened her eyes again, it was already dark, and the sky was full of stars.

Her eyelids were very heavy, Wei Xueying sat up hard, and found that her whole body was weak, her limbs were sore, especially her right leg, which hurt her heart and lungs.

Wei Xueying thought about it, and then remembered that she had fallen into the mountains on a horse.

Although the starlight was good, the surrounding scenery was still not clear, and she touched a small tree, the trunk of which was the size of a crutch, so she violently shook the tree off, stripped off the twigs, became a crutch, and limped up.

You must leave as soon as possible, the night is too heavy, and you can faintly smell the smell of wild beasts.

After walking for a while, Wei Xueying felt that the danger was a little smaller, and she didn't know what beast was hiding on Yanzi Mountain, and the place where she fell just now seemed to be very close to the beast's lair, which is why it was so fishy.

Feeling a lot safer, Wei Xueying took the dagger she had with her, cut some wood out, and lit it with a fire breaker.

When the bonfire was lit, Wei Xueying leaned on the fire, and only by the light of the fire could she see clearly that her right leg was dripping with blood, and it seemed that she had been injured by something sharp, thinking that she should have been injured when she fell down the mountain.

Wei Xueying recalled the scene of her falling off the cliff, everything happened too fast at that time, if she could break free of the pedals in time, she would not fall off the cliff with the horse, so Wei Xueying wondered, the good horse was not frightened, how could it suddenly be like this?

Could it be that someone harmed her?

If someone harms her, then who is going to harm her?

Wei Xueying thought quietly, and immediately remembered Liu Qingling who was accompanying her, but no matter how suspicious she was, she couldn't be so sure until she got the exact evidence.

At this point, she will never sit still, she can't kill her if she wants to die, and she can't help her if she falls off the cliff.

Wei Xueying cut off the clean cloth lining the hem of her skirt, bandaged the wound on her calf, and hung the color on the injury in this mountain forest, which was tantamount to using it as bait for the beasts.

She didn't want to die in the mouth of a beast, it was unseemly to die.

After a while, Wei Xueying felt that her mouth was dry, so she lit a torch and prepared to find water and food to satisfy her stomach.

Fortunately, there are mountain springs everywhere on Swallow Mountain, and Wei Xueying believes that it will not take long to find them.

When Wei Xueying found a mountain spring, she suddenly heard a wolf howl, the sound was extremely miserable, like a roar with all her might, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Following the wolf's howl, it was the place where she woke up unconscious.

It seems that there is a wolf's den.

Wei Xueying lit a bonfire by the mountain spring, drank some water, and briefly treated the wound, but fortunately, although she was in pain all over her body, it was all abrasions, only the injury on her right leg was more serious, and when it was dawn, she could find a way down the mountain.

Wei Xueying slept all night in her clothes, and when the birds in the forest chirped in the early morning, she opened her eyes faintly.

The bonfire beside him was about to go out, and Wei Xueying gathered her clothes, a little cold.

Picked up the fire with a cane, added a few more firewood, and when the body temperature came up, Wei Xueying moved her muscles and bones in place a few times.

Suddenly, the grass beside him heard the sound of a rope, Wei Xueying froze, untied the lock of the hundred alchemy on his waist and waited quietly, a gray hare came out of the grass very vigilantly, and jumped to the spring.

The silver snowflake dart flew out with lightning speed, hitting the vital point, and the hare fell to the ground and died before he could taste a mouthful of spring water.

A few minutes later, Wei Xueying had already cleaned up the hares and put them on the fire to start a self-grill.

Although there was no salt, Wei Xueying still ate very satisfied, filled her stomach, and walked back along the road she had taken last night.

She wanted to see where she had fallen, and if she pushed her way up, she should be able to find her way back.

Wei Xueying found the fire she had left behind last night, and continued to walk for a while, until she finally came to a cave where the stench came from, and on the ground lay not only a horse that had fallen to its death, but also a wolf that had lost its breath.

The horse had been torn to pieces, and Wei Xueying kicked the wolf's corpse, stiff as an animal specimen, and stared at the dead eyes.

Wei Xueying couldn't help but rejoice, if she didn't leave in time last night, I'm afraid she would have to have a vicious fight with the wolf.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was already dawning, Wei Xueying continued to find the way with her crutches.

In the Lingwang Mansion, Chu Ling pushed the door out, looking at the early morning light and squinting.

"Fengcheng, is there a whereabouts of the concubine?"

"Lord, not yet, people have been sent to search the suburbs of the city, and there is still no whereabouts of the princess." Yu Fengcheng replied on the side.

Chu Ling raised his eyes to look at Yu Fengcheng, since he left the palace that night, Yu Fengcheng was seriously injured in his place, his face has always been bad, Yu Xin couldn't bear it, Chu Ling sighed and said: "Fengcheng, rest and rest, leave the matter at hand to Land Rover, and you will follow me to recuperate." ”

"Yes." Yu Fengcheng responded, he could finally rest.

Although it was spring, it was still a little cold in the early morning, Chu Ling put on a cloak, and thought to herself about where Wei Xueying had gone this day and night.

He went to Wei's house last night, but she didn't go back.
