The battle in Yangcheng lasted all night. At daybreak, the enemy withdrew.

After a night of hard fighting, the defenders resisted hard, but the enemy did not break through the city gates.

The main general is seriously injured, the disparity between the enemy and us is huge, and there is an internal response, holding Yangcheng and waiting for reinforcements to arrive is the best choice.

The enemy suffered heavy losses, so he withdrew his troops and adjusted. Yan Che led people to guard the city gate, paying close attention to the situation here, for fear that the inner ghost would open the city gate and let the enemy in.

When the enemy withdrew, the defenders had a chance to repair and the soldiers could take a break.

***

When Qu Lingxue woke up, it was already dawn. When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not Su Xin, but the maid Wan'er of Xia Heyuan.

"Mother, you're finally awake! The doctor said that the mother was frightened, and as long as she woke up, she would be fine. Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"How can it be you, Su Xin? Is she hurt? Qu Lingxue asked.

The smile on Wan'er's face disappeared and became a little dignified: "Niangniang, Sister Suxin, she ......"

"What's wrong with her?" Qu Lingxue had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Mother, you must be miserable! Sister Suxin, she's no longer there! Wan'er knew that she couldn't hide it, so she said it.

Qu Lingxue's brain buzzed. It's okay to finish Suxin tomorrow, and it's by your side. Obviously, the plan is perfect, Su Xin said, foolproof. Why did she go?

For a while, Qu Lingxue couldn't accept Su Xin's departure. She couldn't stop her tears.

In this huge palace, only Su Xin thinks about her everywhere. She is her confidant. Without Su Xin, Qu Lingxue didn't know what to do in the future. Can someone give her advice like a pixel?

Yesterday, Kanazawa, who rushed into the fire to rescue Qu Lingxue, did not see Su Xin's figure. The guards who went in again didn't see Su Xin. According to the maids, tonight is Su Xin's night, and she has been staying by Qu Lingxue's side.

When the fire was extinguished, Kanazawa found a charred corpse in the Sushin House. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it is Suxin.

Then, there was a maid missing in Xia Heyuan, Mingdouer. It's an inconspicuous maid.

Dou'er is just a third-class maid in Xia Heyuan, and lives in the most remote bedroom in Xia Heyuan with the other third-class maids. The bedroom was far from the main hall, so it only burned to one wall.

The guards found that most of Dou'er's belongings were missing, leaving only a worn-out garment and a few worthless items.

Seeing this, the other maids hurried to look through their belongings, and more or less lost something, broken silver or jewelry.

For a while, the maids couldn't help but scold. There wasn't much silver per month, and jewelry was a luxury for them. Everyone thinks that Dou'er stole everyone's things and ran away. In order to prevent everyone from finding out, a fire was deliberately set on fire.

Xia Heyuan was no longer able to live, and Qu Lingxue and the maids moved into Furong Pavilion.

Su Xin was absent, Qu Lingxue saw that Wan'er looked quite clever, so she asked her to serve closely.

"Niang Niang is terrified, isn't she? However, the slave and maid heard that if they do not die in a great disaster, they will have a blessing in the future. Niangniang must be the most blessed woman in the palace. Wan'er smiled and brought the tranquilizer over.

Qu Lingxue showed a wry smile and didn't say anything. She took the tranquilizer and drank it in one gulp.

"Wan'er, you can go and rest too. On this day, you were not idle. Qu Lingxue handed the bowl to Wan'er.

And the slave and maid rested in the main hall. If you have something, call me. After Wan'er finished speaking, she lowered the curtain.

Qu Lingxue lay down, not sleepy. She didn't know what happened to the Winter Snow Courtyard, whether she had died for a long time.

On this day, since she woke up, no one mentioned the Winter Snow Courtyard. Qu Lingxue was unwell and could only stay in bed. If there is a sudden problem, it will only arouse suspicion.

Qu Lingxue's mind appeared with Su Xin's appearance, and she sighed, and couldn't help but think about the situation when she first saw her.

I killed Su Xin. Qu Lingxue couldn't help but think so. She felt sad and empty.

This plan was conceived by heart. But she died in her own plan.

Dou'er is an inconspicuous maid. But Suxin feels that she is actually very smart, but because she looks a little ugly and her temperament is too quiet, she is always easy to be ignored.

Su Xin handed over Princess Qi's jade pendant to Dou'er, and gave her some benefits, letting her go to the Winter Snow Courtyard to burn her to death for a long time.

Dou'er was hesitant at first, but then agreed. Taking a risk, it is worth it to be able to exchange for half a life of pleasure.

After Su Xin let Dou'er succeed, he left the Chu Palace, incognito.

Qu Lingxue thought that Dou'er, who was now outside the palace, was not worth it, and she was not worth it.

To be happy outside, to be with the people she likes, and to live the life she wants to live, this is what Qu Lingxue dreams of. Now, it's cheaper.

Qu Lingxue didn't know the reason why Su Xin chose beans at all. That's because Dou'er's height and body type are too much with her. When the fire burns, the flesh turns to ashes. Who can recognize whether it is Su Xin or someone else.

At this time, Su Xin had already changed into shabby clothes and hid in a dilapidated temple in the east of the city. Tomorrow, she will leave the city and leave the capital.

The person who burned to death in Xia Heyuan was Dou'er, not Su Xin.

Su Xin first deceived Qu Lingxue and Dou'er. She had stolen the maids' silver and jewelry beforehand. Later, he tricked Dou'er to the main hall and knocked him unconscious, hiding in an inconspicuous corner. Subsequently, she served Qu Lingxue tea. Then, as planned, the Winter Snow Courtyard was set on fire.

After that, Su Xin took Dou'er's clothes to the Winter Snow Courtyard. After setting fire to the Winter Snow Courtyard, she quietly climbed over the wall and left Princess Chu.

Now, Su Xin only has one last step left, and that is to leave the capital.

Let's talk about being away for a long time.

At this moment, Li Jiujiu is sitting on the second floor of the Peony Pavilion, eating his favorite roast duck and looking at the starry sky outside the window.

Last night, the Winter Snow Courtyard was set on fire. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu woke up and woke up Lijiujiu and Biluo. The three of them climbed through the window into the backyard and hid in the well.

Mrs. Liu's martial arts are good, and she did not sink after holding on to Jiujiu and Biluo.

The fire is getting stronger. Later, the head of the guard, Kanazawa, came with the guards, and some maids also came to help, and successfully extinguished the fire.

Although the winter snow courtyard is not as bad as the summer lotus courtyard, it is impossible to live. Knowing for a long time that there were many other courtyards in the palace, he picked the Peony Pavilion and lived in. If nothing else, just because this annex is different from other annexes, it is two-storey.

I've heard about the things over there in Xia Heyuan for a long time. She felt that she should go and appease Qu Lingxue. Although Qu Lingxue is the housekeeper of the Chu Palace, she is also a princess.

However, after thinking of his face for a long time, he still gave up. After all, this dignity is okay for Hao Yu to see, Qu Lingxue should forget it.

"Miss, this Peony Pavilion is really good, much better than the Winter Snow Courtyard!" Bi Luo smiled, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl of Lijiujiu.

After a long time, he picked up the piece of red meat and put it in his mouth, and the deliciousness spread. She smiled and said to Bi Luo and Mrs. Liu, "You all sit down and eat and drink with me!" ”

"Mother, this can't be helped!" Mrs. Liu hurriedly said.

Biluo pulled Mrs. Liu to sit down: "Grandma Liu, no one sees it anyway." This is Miss's order! ”

Mrs. Liu sat down, and when she saw Bi Luo say this, she didn't get up.

"Let's toast to the new life!" Lijiu raised his glass.

"Miss, in the future, no one in this palace will dare to bully you again!" Biluo's eyes were shining, and she raised her glass.

In this situation, Mrs. Liu felt very happy. She raised her glass as well.

"Niangniang, only this once, not as an example. A slave is a slave and a slave, how can she be on an equal footing with her master? ”

"Okay, let's not take this as an example. It's just that tonight, we have wine today and get drunk today! ”

The three of them held the cup, raised their heads, and drank it all.

Those sufferings that have been suffered appear in Lijiu's mind like a wandering eye. When I met a scumbag, I almost lost my life, and I didn't want to take any more risks for a long time.

Now that Yun Chuhan has admitted himself, why should he have trouble with himself?

Left the Winter Snow Courtyard, but couldn't do without those hard days. She only needs to do one thing now, and that is to be patient. When her face recovers, when the time comes, she will let the whole world know her long-lost name.

Thinking of this, I almost thought that I was the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion who had been treated coldly and harshly. She obviously came through time and survived through someone else's body.

Now that she has survived, she will definitely be cautious and cautious in the future and live well. Do not steam steamed buns, steam breath.

At this moment, the voice of the guard came from downstairs: "Niangniang, the head of the guard, Jin Ze, has something important to report." ”

Li Jiujiu glanced at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu stood up and went downstairs.

After a while, Mrs. Liu came back.

"Niangniang, this was discovered by Lord Jin in the Winter Snow Courtyard." Mrs. Liu handed over something.

After a long time, I looked at it, it was a jade pendant, very exquisite.

"Niangniang, exquisite jade, priceless, not ordinary people can hold." Mrs. Liu said.

However, I felt that this jade pendant was familiar for a long time. Her mind raced through thoughts.

This jade pendant has a first-class whiteness, full of fat powder, and has a very high degree of oiliness to the touch. Li Jiujiu frowned, staring at this jade pendant.

"Miss, do you know this jade pendant?" Bi Luo asked.

"I think I've seen this jade pendant." I thought hard for a long time, but I still didn't get anything.

"Miss, the slave maid has already told Lord Jin not to spread the news about the discovery of the Winter Snow Courtyard for the time being." Mrs. Liu is very cautious.

Li Jiujiu nodded and said, "You did the right thing." The fewer people who know about some things before they figure it out, the better. Because, I can't be sure, whether it's a blessing or a curse to find this thing. Where the hell have I seen this jade pendant......"

A figure suddenly appeared in Lijiujiu's mind.

"Princess Qi!" Lijiu stood up sharply.

Mrs. Liu and Bi Luo's faces were full of surprise.

"This is the thing of Princess Qi Liu Zihan. At the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, I was fortunate to attend and saw Liu Zihan carry this jade pendant with him. At that time, she was not the princess of Qi. ”
