Finally, she found her under a nearby tree, and she was a little puzzled: "Xiaopingzi, why did you come here?"

Xiuping smiled and said, "Miss is telling Madame the story of you and His Royal Highness the Prince, how dare I listen to it." ”

Han Xiangmo's face turned red and said with a smile: "It's really difficult for you, then let's go back today." ”

Xiuping's face changed, but Han Xiangmo didn't notice it, because she had already turned around.

The two met the abbot of Gude Temple on the road, and Han Xiangmo stopped and saluted the abbot.

The abbot looked kindly and said with a smile: "Amitabha, Miss Han is here to see Mrs. Han today, right?"

Han Xiangmo nodded.

"After so many years, Miss Han has grown so big, and it's time to get married in a blink of an eye. ”

Han Xiangmo smiled and said, "Over the years, thank you to the abbot for chanting the Buddha for my mother every day and taking care of me. Although she knew that the abbot was not actually chanting for her mother alone, there were all offerings in that hall. Still, she was grateful to the abbot.

"This is what the old man should do, not to mention, Mrs. Han was also kind and charitable during her lifetime, and she was a great benevolent person. ”

Han Xiangmo naturally knew his mother's life, but he was also a little melancholy for a while.

Xiuping behind her actually hoped that Han Xiangmo would stay here today, so that her young lady might be fine. But Lin Qingyun will not allow it, if she makes any mistakes, the lives of her younger brothers and sisters will probably not be guaranteed.

So, she stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, it's time to go back, the master is still waiting for Miss at home." ”

Han Xiangmo said apologetically to the abbot: "Abbot, then let's go back first." ”

The abbot of Gude Temple naturally didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Please." ”

Han Xiangmo saluted and retired.

However, before Han Xiangmo could take a few more steps, the abbot stopped Han Xiangmo and said, "Miss Han, please stay." ”

Han Xiangmo stopped again, turned around and said with some doubts: "What else is the matter with the abbot?"

Xiuping was behind for some reason, and suddenly a little nervous.

The abbot's face was a little different from what he had just been, and he seemed to have a faint look of concern.

The abbot said: "On the way back to the donor, please be more careful, the road has not been smooth recently." His eyes glanced at Xiuping behind Han Xiangmo, Xiuping was stunned, and lowered her head lower.

She said secretly: Does this abbot know something?

Han Xiangmo was stunned, and then smiled: "Okay, thank you Abbot for reminding me." ”

On the way out of the temple, Han Xiangmo said to Xiuping behind him: "Xiaopingzi, do you think that what the abbot said has other meanings?"

Xiuping's heart tightened, she didn't know what to say, and finally said in a panic: "Miss Hui, Xiuping doesn't know." ”

Han Xiangmo stopped and said a little strangely: "Xiao Pingzi, it seems that you have become a little strange these days since you came back, and it seems to be different from before. Han Xiangmo always felt that Xiuping was getting more and more wrong, and always felt that there was something else in her heart, not just the illness of her younger brother at home.

Xiuping became even more nervous and said, "Xiuping is because her brother is sick, so she is more worried. ”

"Is that so? But why do I think you have something else to hide from me? Is there something else going on at home?" asked Han Xiangmo worriedly.

Xiuping shook her head, lowered her head and said, "It's because my brother is too sick this time, and the doctor said that it may not be cured, so let me be mentally prepared." She almost burst into tears as she spoke.

Han Xiangmo obviously didn't expect this, so he could only comfort a few words, and then went back.

Along the way, the master and servant did not speak again. One is afraid that he will not be able to bear to say too much, and the other is afraid that if he says a few more words, it will touch the sad things in other people's hearts.

Without saying a word all the way, the group went into the woods.

For some reason, Han Xiangmo always felt that when he entered this forest, something seemed to be wrong, as if something was missing. It's March, and there should be birds chirping in the woods, but it's silent.

There was no sound except for the sound of their group walking. Only occasionally the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other.

Han Xiangmo suddenly had a bad premonition, and she said, "Xiao Pingzi, do you think it's strange here? ”

"Xu yes...... Maybe it's because the birds have gone out to forage for food, and they haven't returned to their nests yet. Xiuping knew that they must have set up an ambush in this wood.

Han Xiangmo was alert at this time, her expression was a little solemn, and she said, "Xiao Pingzi, you ...... Do you know something?" she didn't want to doubt who she trusted.

Xiuping, like Xiutao, grew up with herself since she was a child, and is the person she trusts the most besides her father and brother. She had never doubted the loyalty between the two of them, but at this moment she had to doubt the person in front of her who had always trusted her.

Since she came back, she has been hiding something on her mind, and she seems to have a sense of apology and helplessness towards herself.

However, she didn't care about it before, thinking that she was like this because of her brother's affairs, but at this moment, she had to think about it more.

When she was chatting with the abbot, she urged herself to go back, but Xiuping, who was usually usual, wanted to stay outside for a while.

And when she asked her something strange, she was nervous, as if she was afraid that she would know something.

And along the way, she was frequently looking out the car window, but it didn't seem like she was looking at the scenery. Occasionally, there was a look of worry on his face.

And the question she just asked, Xiuping was obviously nervous, and her face was surprised.

Xiuping finally stopped choosing to hide it, she said with a pale face: "Miss, I'm sorry ......"

Han Xiangmo was puzzled, and when she wanted to ask something, someone outside shouted: "Miss Protection!"

Han Xiangmo was shocked, and hurriedly looked out the window, a group of black-clothed people appeared in the forest, and they fought with the guards who protected him.

But these men in black seem to be killers, and these guards are far from being the opponents of the men in black, and the two sides seem to be about the same number.

"Who sent them?" Han Xiangmo was shocked and angry, she never thought that Xiuping would betray her. However, she also wanted to know who was behind it.

Xiuping lowered her head, finally burst into tears, and said, "That may be an assassin from the General's Mansion, probably sent by Lin Qingyun." Xiuping didn't want to hide it from her young lady anymore.

Han Xiangmo was even more shocked, and frowned, "Lin Qingyun, she wants to kill me, why?"

She couldn't figure out what she had with Lin Qingyun, except that her brother had a marriage contract with her, there was nothing between them.

Xiuping said: "No, she didn't come to kill Miss, she wanted Miss's face." ”

"My face?" Han Xiangmo was even more puzzled, "What does she want my face to do?"

"She's in cahoots with that He Yilan, and they've found someone who can change faces. I want to swap the faces of you and He Yilan, so that you can marry into the East Palace and become the crown princess instead of Miss. ”

Han Xiangmo understood it, but he couldn't imagine that there was such an unbelievable thing in this world.

"I just ask you, why did you choose to betray me?" Han Xiangmo felt that she might not have a chance to live, but even if she died, she would die clearly.

Xiuping cried and said, "Miss, they are threatening the lives of my younger brothers and sisters in my family, and the slaves and maids dare not disobey." Since the death of the father and mother, the only relatives of the slave and maid are them. Miss, I'm really sorry! In the next life, Xiuping is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Miss for her kindness to me in this life. ”

She knelt down and kowtowed to Han Xiangmo.

"I see. Since this is the reason, Han Xiangmo will not blame her anymore, "You get up, I won't blame you." It's just that the love between our master and servant has come to an end today, so take care. ”

The carriage stopped, and Han Xiangmo didn't want to stay in the carriage for a moment, so he got out of the carriage directly.

The coachman was long dead and fell to the ground.

It's calm outside, and there's corpses everywhere.

Han Xiangmo only felt that the grief and indignation in her chest were abnormal, and her mind was blank.

After some fighting, there were about a dozen people in black left, and they spontaneously formed an encirclement.

At this time, Lin Qingyun and others also appeared, and He Yilan was really among them, and there was an old man behind him.

He Yilan smiled wildly: "Miss Han, don't come unharmed. ”

Han Xiangmo just looked at them calmly, and said indifferently: "It's really okay to come, I didn't expect Miss He to be still in the capital." ”

Han Xiangmo's words were not sarcastic, but in He Yilan's ears, he heard as if he was sarcastic about her, He Yilan was enraged, and said: "I also want to thank Miss Han for the position of the crown princess for me, I will live a good life for you in the future." ”

After knowing the truth, Han Xiangmo was obviously not surprised by these, she was secretly looking at the surrounding environment to see if there was a chance to escape.

Lin Qingyun ignored He Yilan's words and said to the old man, "Can you be sure that you can repair her face like hers now?"

The old man looked at it carefully and said, "It's about seventy percent, but if it's exactly the same, you can only change your face." ”

He Yilan said: "I want to change faces with her!" She had already been angered by Han Xiangmo's simple words at the moment, so she naturally didn't care about the consequences of changing her face.

Han Xiangmo frowned and asked, "What is your purpose?"

He Yilan continued to say arrogantly: "Naturally, it is to become the crown princess, so that the entire Southern Tang Dynasty will be destroyed. ”

Lin Qingyun frowned and said to He Yilan: "You said too much. ”

He Yilan felt that she had lost her words, and she didn't need to explain so much to her.

But it didn't matter, she was soon a dead man.

Lin Qingyun ordered: "Capture her alive." ”

"Yes. ”
