"This interstitial embroidery is exquisite!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked at Fangcao's needlework and was extremely satisfied.

She smiled again: "Catch Ming'er to add the congratulatory gift on the New Year's Day, and the Queen Mother will like it." ”

Xia Lian also praised: "Master, after two years of training like now, Fangcao will be better than your craftsmanship." ”

Fangcao didn't even dare to say it, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded and asked, "You are doing a good job! ”

Fang Zhou teased the little sister: "The master already loves her so much, what reward do you want." ”

"Hey......" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shook her head, "One yard is one yard, you don't have to worry." ”

"What Fang Zhou said is that the slave maid has been favored by the master for a long time, and there should be no other plans. Before Xia Lian could explain, Fangcao's words changed, "The slave has a reluctant request, and I hope that the master will see it." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled slightly: "...... you say"

Fangcao replied respectfully: "The slave embroidered this interstitial, the sisters helped a lot, and they thought that they didn't have a thank-you gift, and they were willing to ask for a grace to set up two tables to talk to the sisters with their own share." ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded with satisfaction, "I really didn't misread you!"

Fangcao said again: "The slave maid still has a private thought, earlier Fang Rui and Fang Zhou followed the master to King Kang's mansion for a banquet, and came back to praise the singer in the palace of King Yong for her best singing, and she didn't have the opportunity to listen to two more plays, and in recent days, they have lost their place in the slave and maid, and the master may have borrowed the opera troupe to reward them for half a day?"

Xia Lian frowned: "This is not appropriate, the uncle is not in the mansion, although the singer is a ninth-rate girl, how can she easily let the foreign man in." ”

Fangcao was uneasy: "It's the slave who is not thoughtful." ”

"What's this. Hearing the word "uncle", Qin Siyue (Long Xi) turned to the left, "Give a post to the Zhongyong Palace, teach them to sing for three days, we should always have fun!"

It's just a few singing girls, how can Prince Zhongyong be stingy, and the next afternoon he ordered the chief historian to send the troupe to the Shenlong General's Mansion for use.

On the morning of the play, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was dressing up, and Xia Lian rushed to the upper room with a heavy face to ask for the news: "Master, Fangzhou has taken leave with you?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was stunned: "Didn't she say yesterday that she wanted to raise her spirit and listen to a day's play?"

Xia Lian was very worried: "Fang met her mother outside, and casually asked me if I was busy with the New Year's Eve and the master was assigned to send an envoy, and I didn't see Fangzhou all day, I clearly remember that she said that she went home after a business trip yesterday evening, if I didn't tell you for leave......"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) frowned slightly: "Have you ever asked outside?" ”

Xia Lian replied carefully: "The little maid on duty said that she took the baggage away...... It's the fox scarf you rewarded, and said that she wanted to wear it to her sister, and the mother-in-law who patrolled the night at the second gate said that she had a photo with her, and the porter said that there was no trace of it. ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) solemnly said: "Even if the door is lazy, there are guards on patrol, and there is no trace of a big living person." ”

Xia Lian speculated: "Isn't it that the little girl is playful and quietly went out for a walk?"

"I'm not sure!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) thought for a moment and then ordered, "And don't make a noise, you send a few clever daughters-in-law to search for each courtyard, but there is really no news, take my post and report it to Jingzhao Yamen, let them visit the city, and report the news in time." ”

"Yes," Xia Lian straightened up, "I'll go." ”

Jing Zhaoyin received the fatwa and scratched his back bones: Which audacious trafficker is so arrogant that even Princess Chaoyun's personal maid dares to be kidnapped?

After several days of goose feather heavy snow, the entire Jingshi was caged into a silver carving world, and the snow on the main street and avenue was more than thick, if it was not very necessary, no one was willing to go out when they were idle, and the ordinary and prosperous first-class land boundary was really depressed for a few days. also relied on the heavy reward of Princess Chaoyun's mansion, and the two classes of officials braved the wind and cold to listen to the order, and searched the streets for the traces of Fangzhou, but they did not get results for most of the day.

There was no reply from the yamen during the day, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sent Xia Lian to Jingzhao Mansion to urge, and when she returned, she had just entered Lingyuan Street, and the groom who was driving the car replied: "Girl, someone is frozen in front, it seems to be an old lady." ”

"Huh?" Xia Lian raised the sedan curtain, "Go and have a look." ”

The old man's breath was still there, the cotton clothes on his body were all soaked, and there were still words in his mouth, Xia Lian took a closer look, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Isn't this Grandma Fang?" ”

The handle hurriedly stepped forward to help and hugged Grandma Fang into the carriage.

Xia Lian put the handstove she had with her intimately, urging her son to go back to the house immediately, the corners of Grandma Fang's lips trembled, and she vaguely spit out half a sentence: "Princess...... Empress...... ...... want to kill"

Xia Lian was stunned: "Grandma, what did you say?"

didn't wait for a long time to hear back, and when Xia Lian went to see it again, Grandma Fang was exhausted and died.

"Which one do you want to kill?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) scalp tingled, "Grandma Fang must know something and came to me to report it." ”

Xia Lian also felt the same way: "Master, everything has been strange in the past two days, we need to be careful!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was determined: "First call Kui'er Mao'er to the main courtyard!"

After a long time, except for Gu Ming and Gu Ying, who were staying in Rongxi Hall today, Gu Kui, Gu Xuan, Gu Mao, Gu Ling, and Gu Su had all arrived, Gu Mao was still surprised: "Mother, didn't you say that it was cold for the past two days, and we were all eating in our own room?"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was about to speak, when she heard Xia Lian asking Fang Rui: "Where is Fangcao?"

Fang Rui was puzzled: "I haven't seen any of you since I heard the play this afternoon, isn't it hiding somewhere to do needlework?"

The mother-in-law at the inner door replied: "Miss Fangcao just took the burden and went to the back, saying that the master taught her to give a reward to the troupe. ”

Xia Lian turned her head to her master for verification, and clearly saw the confusion in the other party's eyes.

"It's water!'s water!" Before Qin Siyue (Long Xi) could investigate deeply, but when she heard a commotion outside, a maid hurriedly came to report, "Master, the stable is out of water." ”

Gu Kui hurriedly got up: "You don't have to worry, my son will go and take a look." ”

"Kui'er!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shouted, "Take care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't go anywhere." ”

Gu Kui was very puzzled, glanced at his mother and returned to his original position, and Gu Mao, who was enthusiastic, had nothing to say.

"Close the door of the instrument, no one is allowed to enter or leave without me......" The end note was still echoing, and there was another shout in the South Courtyard, "Go to the water, Bing Tan Si go to the water!"

Followed by the sound of explosions, fireworks broke out, and the courtyard on the periphery was patronized by Zhu Rong, and even Gu Mao realized something, and grabbed Qin Siyue's (Long Xi) little finger and trembled: "Niang......"

Fang Rui didn't know the severity, and advised Qin Siyue (Long Xi) with an anxious face: "Master, take the little master to avoid it!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) stepped out of the door, raised her hand and pulled back Gu Kui, who was half out of her body: "I want to think about it...... I want to think about ......"

Xia Lian reminded closely: "Master, the stable is next to the residence of the singing girl, Fangzhou's whereabouts are unknown, and there is no trace of Fangcao, and Grandma Fang's last words are even more strange, in case ......"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) immediately decided: "Go back to the room and block the door." ”

Gu Mao became more and more panicked: "Mother, if we can't suppress the fire, we won't be able to get out." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) held her son's four-fingered timbre unchanged: "There is no need to say more. ”

Xia Lian got the right words to go out to explore the way, and happened to bump into a mother-in-law who was walking around and shouted while running: "But it's amazing, the Fangzhou girl fell into the well in the backyard and drowned." ”

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger, Xia Liansheng was afraid that the main courtyard would be lost, and hurriedly turned back to the upper room to report the news, the master and servant were all shocked, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) handed the Qin Su in her arms to Fang Rui, and took the white feather bound sulfur fuse hanging from the shadow wall and shot it in the air: it turned out that this thing was the "flying willow leaf arrow" made by the Taizong Dynasty craftsman Dai, and it sounded like a firework in the sky at night.

The guards of the princess's mansion did not do anything but react suddenly, the fire came suddenly, the guards on the periphery were blocked by internal flames, and the little maids inside rushed in all directions because of panic. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) closed the door, and the way in and out was isolated, and the entire princess mansion fell into chaos.

Because of the severe cold, the patrol of the city Yushi should be lazy to deal with, walk a street early to wait for the road back to the Ya, cold and unexpectedly see the red tide in front of the abrupt, after the reaction to rush to Lingyuan Street while sending the official to report to Jingzhao Mansion, see the arrow only care about the whip, even the black yarn on the top of the head does not know where to throw it.

Not only Zheng Guofu and Earl's Mansion, but also Ningrong and Ningrong, which are not far away, have people from the police province, and they are all frightened when they cut off the direction, and they have reported to their masters that they know.

Gu Yin shouted while changing his clothes: "Hurry!

Gu Lian and his wife had already arrived, and they rushed outside the mansion with Gu Yin and his wife, walked to the door and bumped into Gu Yun and Gu Yan's masters, and immediately ordered the platoon to assign their tasks: "Rui'er will take someone to the old lady, Yun'er will send your four little brothers to Rongqing Hall, and I will go to the princess's mansion with your second uncle to check." ”

Tonight is the commander of the forbidden army, Shi Bao, who is on duty in the inner city, and was surprised to see the sound of arrows in the night sky from afar, and did not dare to be careless after asking about the accuracy of the left and right, and hurriedly broke into the East Palace to face Prince Chen Yonglin, Yonglin knew that it was powerful, and he lost his son's schoolwork and ran to Kunning Palace to ask for instructions, Queen Shi looked at her husband and was slightly confused: "It's just an arrow, how can you think that it was sent from Princess Chaoyun's mansion?"

The emperor explained to his wife: "Earlier, Qin Yatou used this arrow to pass military orders, and everyone in the battalions of the Beijing Division knew about it, so I expected that there would be no danger outside. ”

Compared with the commander Qin Kuo led the guard on duty to Lingyuan Street, Chaoyun Princess Mansion had already blocked the way of the fire god and the sky was full of red, not long before that, the city patrol imperial history reported that the Jingzhao Mansion would transfer troops to the water dragon team to arrive, and the subordinates of Zheng Guofu, Earl's Mansion, and Ning Rong Mansion were all standing on the periphery to help put out the fire.

Yongrong Quan was in charge of the military department, and when he arrived, the princess's mansion had not yet been defeated, although he panicked because of Qin Siyue's (Long Xi)'s whereabouts, but he did not mess up because of this, and immediately decided that the prince's dignity gave an order: "If you should escape, you will be imprisoned regardless of injury or illness, and if you violate the rules, you will be killed!"

However, it was said that the dead man who took advantage of the chaos to get in waited for a long time in the outer courtyard and did not see the main owner, and they were a little surprised, and they were relieved to hear that the steward was anxious that "His Royal Highness and the little master have not come out yet", and quietly hid in the snail's house and continued to fight the abacus of guarding the rabbit.

Seeing that the fire was raging and no one came out, all the dead soldiers could not enter the target, and there was Emperor Yan to cover the road, and some of the same party were poisoned by the fire and died, and the rest of the material Ding Qin Siyue (Long Xi) had no way to go to the sky, and he retreated and fled outward, and he didn't know how many innocents were injured in the chaos.

It was easy to retreat to the outer edge, and I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pretend to be a subordinate of the government to mix out of the inner perimeter.
