Meishuang didn't bother to squeeze through the crowd, so she sat down in the empty space in front of the stall next to her.

As soon as I sat down, I was tapped on the shoulder.

She looked up in surprise and looked at a triumphant face, "Ha, I really didn't let Yebai wait, I finally found you." ”

Meishuang was shocked, wasn't this the guy with a knife who met on the narrow road down the mountain during the day? It's really a narrow road.

There are people coming and going in front of her, bustling, and if you want to run, you won't be in a hurry at all, and she may not be able to come back if she calls "help" now.

She calmly stood up, "How did you find it?" ”

"Hahaha," the butler pointed to his finger, "that bridge is the only way out of here, I expected you to walk here, so I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Meishuang dusted off her clothes, "Okay, let's go." ”

The housekeeper was a little confused by Meishuang's calmness, but seeing that Meishuang was so obedient, he was also relieved, "It's okay, I don't have to let grandpa do it and alarm passers-by." ”

Meishuang tilted her body when she raised her feet, as if she hadn't stood firmly, and pounced on the stall in front of her.

Suddenly, it was terrible, the fruit carefully stacked on the fruit cart was hit by Meishuang and flew everywhere, and Meishuang did not stop, reached out and touched the stall selling pastries next to it, and several stalls were instantly pounded by Meishuang.

For a moment, the ground was full of fruit and pastries, and bones were rolling around.

The sudden situation, the distressed stall owners were furious, and they stepped forward to grab Meishuang and prevent her from leaving.

Meishuang aggrievedly stretched out her finger and pointed to the inexplicable housekeeper behind her, "He pushed me, I don't have a penny, he should pay." ”

Hearing Meishuang say that he had no money, the stall owners surrounded the housekeeper and shouted for him to pay compensation.

Only then did the housekeeper understand Mei Shuang's trick, and he was so angry that his nose was crooked, "This stinky woman, is she playing tricks?" ”

Mei Shuang said strangely beside her, "Boss, it's your fault today, don't you hurry up and lose the silver and leave, it's not that you didn't bring money, you went out with a dozen taels."

Hearing that the two of them had been arguing for a long time, the stall owners sank their faces, and even one of them picked up his own scale and put it in front of the housekeeper, "Your mother-in-law has caused trouble and disrupted our business, what do you think?" ”

The housekeeper was speechless, "Who is she?" I didn't do that—"

"Hey-mother, you might as well be a girl, dare not do it, hurry up and get the silver, otherwise you will go to see the official"

The housekeeper really didn't bring any money when he went out this time, otherwise he would have to throw on the silver first and get out and grab Meishuang, and he wouldn't be able to watch Meishuang disappear into the crowd.

When Yunkong came back, he saw that the original place was in a mess, a group of people were arguing around a man for money, and Meishuang had long since disappeared.

His heart tightened, and he asked the person next to him to know the reason, and after a little thought, he understood that Meishuang was being targeted and hiding.

Looking up, the riverside is crowded with people, how easy is it to find someone now? Yunkong couldn't help but blame himself in his heart.

After Meishuang shook off the people behind her, she didn't go to Yunkong, but walked all the way along the bridge. If the bridge out of Yangzhou is a must-pass place, then you can quickly get out of Yangzhou after crossing the bridge.

I touched the twenty taels of silver in my sleeve, and my heart was finally more steady, so I didn't starve to death.

She didn't know who Yunkong was going to take her to, but nine times out of ten it was the person she guessed, and to be honest, she wasn't ready to meet him.

Even if she was with Yunkong, she was looking for a chance to escape, but the appearance of the housekeeper just now gave her an opportunity.

Thinking of Lin Yuan, she could only pray for him in her heart, and now she didn't have time to take care of him.

- In the capital, Lin Tian'er was taken aback after receiving Lin Yuan's letter, and needless to say, she went directly to the palace to face the saint.

And the Li family, who received Li Chun almost at the same time, was also surprised, and heard that Li Chun had no trace in Yangzhou.

A holy decree came to Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and the prefect of Yangzhou knew that there was a big mess.

Immediately handed over Lin Yuan and Li Chun, but there was no trace of Meishuang.

In the end, the bully asked and the prefect was dismissed, and the school opened by the legendary teacher Shen Sujun was retained and carried forward, in order to commemorate this woman who knew the righteousness, and this school was named "Sujun" School for people to admire.

The local prefect of Yangzhou then allocated funds for all school-age children in Yangzhou, both male and female, as long as they reached the age of five.

- The Imperial Palace, in the palace of the Queen Mother.

Early in the morning, Aunt Yu ran to the Empress Dowager Ming with joy, "Queen Mother, great joy!" ”

The Empress Dowager Ming was freshening up, and when she heard this, she said disapprerovingly, "What? That girl went back to the palace? ”

Aunt Yu was stunned for a moment, understanding that the Queen Mother had misunderstood, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Queen Mother, it's not Miss Chu Xiruo, but—"

She gently attached her ear to the side of the Queen Mother's ear and said, the pearl hairpin in the hand of the Queen Mother Ming was unstable and fell to the ground, and the phoenix eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief, "What? You say frost she, she's still alive? ”

Aunt Yu nodded, "The slave maid listened to what Gonggong Li beside the emperor said, presumably the emperor didn't have time to talk to the queen mother, and the slave maid came first." ”

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Empress Dowager Ming grabbed Aunt Yu's hand and was a little excited.

Aunt Yu told her why Lin Tian'er opened a "Tianmi Traveling the World" hall, and expanded her business to Jiangnan, and Mei Shuang was accidentally rescued by someone who fell into the water by the river and went to Jiangnan.

Then Aunt Yu said what Meishuang did in the local area, especially Meishuang's Gao Fengliangjie who wanted to teach her children to read despite eating and drinking, which made the Empress Dowager Ming sigh very much, "Shuang'er, this child, is really the mourning family, she is not mistaken, if there is such a queen in my Great Qin Kingdom, it is also a blessing."

After sighing for a long time, Empress Dowager Ming hurriedly asked, "Is she back?" The mourning family went to see her."

Aunt Yu shook her head, "No, the slave just listened to a rough idea"

"You go and call the emperor quickly, and the mourning family wants to ask what the situation is."

Aunt Yu agreed to go out, and was called back by the Empress Dowager Ming, her eyes were a little suspicious, "Has the emperor seen Chu Xiruo?" ”

Aunt Yu nodded, "The slave maid actually saw that the emperor should have gone to see Miss Chu a long time ago, the emperor leaves the palace on the fifteenth day of every month, the slave maid thinks"

Empress Dowager Ming was shocked and angry, "What? Who sued him? ”

Aunt Yu said, "Once the slave maid was talking to Gonggong Li, and he accidentally said something that leaked his mouth, and the slave maid listened to Miss Shuang to tell the emperor before leaving."

"She?" Empress Dowager Ming was even more surprised, "How did she know?" Although she had been to that place, weren't she and that Chu Xi mortal enemies? How could she possibly tell the emperor about her traces? ”

Aunt Yu hurriedly reminded the Empress Dowager Ming, "Empress Dowager, you forgot, now, this frost girl is not the same she was before."

Empress Dowager Ming was slightly stunned, and then understood something, "Shuang'er did this, is she not at all and no feelings for the emperor?" ”

-- On the outskirts of the capital, in front of the Buddhist hall of a temple.

The full moon hung high in the sky, and the pure light sprinkled on the world, shining on the two people standing in front of the Buddha hall.

Xiao Luo, who was dressed in a dark robe, looked at the full moon in the sky, and behind him, a slender woman in a gray Buddha robe and picturesque eyebrows walked over gently.

The moonlight shone on her face as warm as jade, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

She paused and wanted to make a sound, but she was silent for a while for fear of disturbing Xiao Luo, and then sighed slightly, "The moon is sixteen round on the fifteenth, and the emperor has been looking at the bright moon for a long time, is there anything on his mind?" ”

The soft and soft words brought Xiao Luo back to his senses, he turned around, smiled slightly, took away the thoughts in his eyes, and replaced them with watery gentleness, "How do you know that I have something on my mind?" ”

Chu Xiruo stared at the majestic man in front of him with a face like a knife and an axe, and his starry eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and there was a little naughtiness when he spoke, "I naturally know, if it weren't for this, you wouldn't have known it when I was behind you for a long time."

Looking at the slightly naughty face in front of him, Xiao Luo was a little distracted for a while, and countless pictures flashed in front of him in an instant, and that woman was sometimes like this

He shook his head, shook off the images, and reached out to take the hand of the woman in front of him.

Chu Xiruo quietly looked at the former childhood sweetheart in front of him and now the Ninety-Five, looking at himself in his dark and deep eyes, there seemed to be something indescribable, and the slightest winding made people unable to see clearly

Seeing the other party's outstretched hand, Chu Xiruo did not hand it over as usual, but turned around and brought tea from the table without a trace and handed it to Xiao Luo's hand.

The soft fingertips touched Xiao Luo's palm, and when Xiao Luo caught the teacup, his palm was empty, and he didn't move.

"I originally thought that the emperor came by the will of the Queen Mother, but I never thought that a few days ago, I received the Queen Mother's will to allow me to return to the palace, and I knew that the emperor had hidden the Queen Mother's permission to come before." Chu Xiruo said.

"Hmm" Xiao Luo lowered his head and drank tea, if it wasn't for the news she deliberately left, how could he possibly find here?

Chu Xiruo saw that Xiao Luo did not answer this question, and a trace of repeated disappointment rose inexplicably in her heart, she forcibly suppressed the sourness in her heart, suddenly knelt down and saluted solemnly, and said, "Your Majesty, I beg the emperor to tell the Queen Mother, if I practice here, I have forgotten the red dust, and I have already sworn that I will never return to the palace with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in this life."

Xiao Luo paused, handed the teacup in his hand to Gonggong Li next to him, stepped forward to help Chu Xiruo, his eyes were dark, "Since the Queen Mother allowed you to return to the palace, why don't you want to?" Don't you want to accompany me? ”

Chu Xiruo stared at Xiao Luo, the expression in her bottomless eyes was complicated, she took a deep breath and lowered her eyes, "If the emperor doesn't agree to regret Ruo, Xiruo can't afford to kneel here."

Xiao Luo's expression froze.

Chu Xiruo's heart trembled when he saw this, turned around and went back to the Buddha Hall, gently closing the door, blocking Xiao Luo's complicated gaze.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a gentle knock on the door and Tao'er's immature voice, "Miss, open the door"

Chu Xiruo was kneeling in front of the Buddha hall and reciting Buddhist scriptures, the door was gently pushed open, and Tao'er came in and said, "The emperor has left"

Chu Xiruo's hand trembled, closed his eyes, tried to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and said lightly, "I know"

"Miss, it was so easy for you and the emperor to reunite, and now that you have the queen mother's permission, why did you refuse the emperor instead?"
