Qiao Ran exclaimed in surprise and sat up from the couch abruptly.

"Miss." Hongdou opened her eyes, brought the lamp on the table, and saw that her face was covered with sweat, she was startled, and hurriedly stood up and walked outside, "Miss, don't catch a cold." ”

There was a sound of water and a handkerchief outside.

The morning breeze blew, and the coolness behind her forehead made Qiao Ran sober up.

It's lucid dreaming.

It's not the first time she's done it.

The last time was not long after moving to Xuanzhen Temple, she dreamed that someone was feeding her to drink runic water, but this time she dreamed of a person.

Hongdou walked in with a basin of warm water, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief dipped in warm water, and said worriedly: "Miss, it's not that the slave maid can't worry about your cousin, but you also have to be careful with your own body." ”

Qiao Ran nodded, and suddenly lifted the quilt and climbed off the bed.

Although it was already spring at this time, Qiao Ran's sudden move of getting out of bed still startled Hongdou, and she hurriedly found a coat to put on for her, and nagged while putting on her shirt: "Miss is always so careless about her body, if the slave doesn't pay attention, you won't pay attention." If you really catch a cold, what if you do catch a cold? ”

"I'm fine." Qiao Ran said, tied the belt of her coat, pushed the window and looked out. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the woody flowers stained with morning dew outside the window gave off a soft luster, she stared at the woody flowers for a moment, then turned around and walked out: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Miss." Hongdou called her, and hurriedly put down the wet handkerchief in his hand and followed.

Qiao Ran turned to her and said, "Hongdou, don't follow, Xuanxiang will be in a hurry if you can't find someone to deliver the food." "This was the case once, Qiao Ran and Hongdou just got up early and walked around Xuanzhen Temple twice, but they were just in time for Xuanxiang to deliver food, and when they saw that the courtyard was empty, they thought they had been robbed, and they almost had to report to the official.

"But ......" Hongdou was about to say a few words, but she saw Qiao Ran's eyes looking at her fixedly, with a firm expression, and the next words couldn't help but swallow back.

"I'll just walk around." Qiao Ran said and went out.

The scene in the dream flashed in front of her eyes from time to time, the woman's face was still blurred, and her "I hurt so much" could make Qiao Ran's heart shake every time she remembered it, and a dull pain surged all over her body.

She must have known the woman, and she was still close. She would have been frightened if she had been an irrelevant person, but at that time, instead of being afraid, she wanted to be close to her. It was an intimacy that melted into the marrow, and the closeness to her was far greater than the horror of the senses.

So...... Who is she? She said she was in pain, where did it hurt? Is it an injury or a serious disease?

This body is surrounded by a lot of fog, and from time to time there will always be one or two distant memories that come up, Qiao Ran took a deep breath, stopped, and prepared to go back, but he couldn't help but be startled when he looked around. A few melon and fruit sellers carrying baskets passed in front of them, and from time to time they talked in the dialect of the suburbs of Jinling, and not far ahead, two vermilion gates were closed, and the word "Jinling" written in two ancient seal scripts was engraved on the wall.

Before she knew it, she had actually reached the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, the city gate has not yet opened, and the vendors waiting for the morning market are gathering at the city gate to chat, the cool morning breath is mixed with a faint smell of grass, she took a deep breath, and the unique breath of Jiangnan Water Town calmed her down.

Just as he was about to turn back, more than a dozen horsemen and horses suddenly appeared at the end of the official road, and the horses stepped on the ground, splashing dust and smoke, Qiao Ran hurriedly walked to the side and retreated to the side of the road with a few melon and fruit sellers to avoid these horses.

The other party is menacing, and it is better for them, the small people who are fighting to avoid it.

The dozen or so horsemen were in front of everyone in an instant, and in the dust and sand, I faintly saw that one of them stopped in front of her.

When the dust and sand cleared, this person appeared clearly in front of him.

On the tall red horse, Zhang Jie, who hadn't seen her for a long time, looked at her, with a little surprise in his eyes: "Why did you come here?" ”

Qiao Ran didn't expect to run into him, seeing him ask like this, he came back to his senses, looked down at himself, a washed white cloth skirt, this is not a dress to go out to meet people, but a dress worn when occasionally tinkering with flowers and plants in the courtyard in the courtyard, at this moment it is this washed white cloth skirt, and because she walked a mountain road, the corners of the skirt were stained with a lot of mud, plus a piece of dust and sand, Qiao Ran can guess her embarrassment at this time without looking. She subconsciously reached out and touched her head, and then touched a messy hair, oh, by the way, she didn't have time to freshen up and went out, so now she is a cloaked in a group of melon and fruit sellers.

It's hard for him to recognize himself. Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll just walk around." ”

Zhang Xie glanced at the city gate that was slowly opening: Did you just walk to the foot of the mountain?

Qiao Ran also followed his gaze: the dozen or so horsemen stopped at the city gate, and they were looking at them in surprise at this time, from which she could also identify two familiar faces: Xu Hexiu and Xie Chengze.

I don't know what they're doing these days.

Zhang Xie stared at her for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand to her: "Come up." ”

Qiao Ran looked at the tall horse that was almost to her chest, and the next moment, his hand was grabbed, and then the whole person rose into the air and landed firmly on the horse's back, and a smell of sandalwood mixed with grass came from behind her.

This kind of contact made Qiao Ran's body stiffen.

"Where are you going?" He grabbed the reins and asked her, "The government?" ”

The government? Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, suddenly came back to his senses, and grabbed his arm: "Yes, I'm going to the mansion, I want to see my cousin!" ”

"Let's go!"

***

Tang Zhongyuan yawned and pushed open the door of the mansion, and today it was their turn to stay in the mansion. Looking up at the sky, the morning glow is everywhere, and the sunshine breaks through the clouds, which is really a rare good weather! Heaven is beautiful, and nothing will happen today.

"That...... That Tang Zhongyuan? A tempting female voice rang out.

Tang Zhongyuan was startled, although he hadn't heard whose voice it was, but his body instinctively tightened, and he didn't know where such nervousness came from.

A woman poked her head out from behind a stone lion next to the palace.

Joe ...... Miss Joe? Tang Zhongyuan watched the girl step out, and the whole person appeared in front of him, he was stunned, "Did you roll in the mud or go to work in the fields?" How does this look like? ”

"I want to see my cousin." She said.

Tang Zhongyuan frowned: "Grand Prince Qiao is a suspect now, and idle people can't be seen." ”

"I'm the only family member of Mr. Qiao now." Qiao Ran said, "My cousin has been removed from the Qiao family by Master Qiao, and I am now his only family member, and I want to visit him." ”

How does this work? He, Tang Zhongyuan, is a man of all his word.

Looking back at Miss Qiao, who was following behind him with a straight face, Tang Zhongyuan secretly thought: It doesn't seem to say no. Although Prince Qiao is a suspect, his family can visit.

"Here we are." Tang Zhongyuan stopped and knocked on the prison door, turned his head and urged Qiao Ran, "Miss Qiao, to make a long story short, you want to ......"

"I'll just ask and leave." The girl shouted "cousin" through the cell door, and when she saw Qiao Mo happily climbing down from the bed, she spoke: "There is such a cyan forehead, and there is such a big emerald gem inlaid in the middle, does my cousin know whose it is?" She gestured to the size of the stone.

Such a large emerald is worth a lot of money, used as a forehead, it can be seen that the person's identity is not rich or expensive, she walked all morning, in fact, there is already a guess in her heart, but she still wants someone to confirm it.

Tang Zhongyuan looked at her and was surprised: "Such a big emerald gem, even the entire Jinling City may not be able to find a piece!" ”

Qiao Mo was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Cousin, how do you know about grandmother's things?"
