There is a difference, though. Qingyuan is more feminine than Su Manshuang. Su Manshuang's mother was born in an opera, and it was a great blessing to be able to climb a general like Su You at that time. Therefore, after marrying into the general's mansion, she never had anything to do with life. This is also one of the reasons why Su You dotes on her.

However, Qingyuan did not have such a good temper as Su Manshuang's mother. She always likes to compete with others. In short, although she is a slave, she always has a spirit in her bones that does not admit defeat. Therefore, in dealing with people, there are always some reckless people who only want to be happy for a while. Because of this problem, Su You punished her a few times, but Qingyuan took care of Su You's two children, and because she was old, the people in the house treated her very respectfully, which made her more domineering than before.

The night was a little deeper, the weather was not very good, and it was as dark as yesterday, and it was raining heavily after a while.

Holding an umbrella in his left hand, a lamp in his right hand, and a burden in his arms, Qingyuan quietly walked out of Furong Garden.

"Auntie, where are you going?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan jumped!

She took two deep breaths before she slowly turned around and saw that it was Yuan Kai, and her heart was being pounded with a drumstick like a drumstick.

Although he was already very nervous in his heart, he pretended to be calm and said, "Concubine Fang told me to do something, why are you here?" ”

Yuan Kai smiled and said, "The prince drank a lot of wine, I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of decanting soup", said and lifted the food box in his hand.

Qing Yuan glanced at the things in his hand, "In that case, you hurry up." ”

Yuan Kai responded, "It's not a good day, my aunt will go early and come back early!" ”

Qingyuan nodded and hurriedly responded, for fear of attracting more people. After Yuan Kai bowed to her, he trotted in the direction of the Crouching Tiger Pavilion with the food box, Qingyuan took a big breath in place, and walked towards the back door of the Regent's Mansion after seeing Yuan Kai's figure.

The back door of the Regent's Mansion is very remote, and the road is bumpy, and no one walks on weekdays, and no one is willing to go at night. Because of this, Cangxi did not send guards to handle this small door.

Qingyuan inquired about these in advance.

The person who connected was also waiting for her at the entrance of the small restaurant that turned right 100 meters outside the back door. This is what she discussed with the connector, and whether Su Manshuang agrees with this matter today, Qingyuan has already made up her mind to do it.

This kind of opportunity must not be missed, and Qingyuan, who is used to seeing deceit, will naturally seize it.

Sure enough, the back door was usually unhandled, but a few tanuki often heard movement and barked. It's already dark here, and the sound of cats meowing makes people feel panicked.

When he walked out of the door, Qingyuan was already in a cold sweat.

After going out, she put the veil she had prepared in advance on her face and trotted all the way to the small restaurant.

The owner of the small restaurant took her to the private room on the second floor. At that time, the people on the street were already sitting in the room.

The man had his back to her, and there was no electric light in the room, and it was very dark.

Qing Yuan waved his hand at the boss and motioned for him to step back before entering the room and closing the door.

"You're here", the connector moved his ears, but still didn't turn around.

Qingyuan responded, "The money is in the baggage, I want a person's life." ”

The connector laughed twice and turned around.

He wore a mask that covered half of his face. The texture of the mask, Qing Yuan couldn't see clearly, and it always looked like an ordinary pattern.

He stared at Qingyuan up and down, laughed twice, and then took the burden from Qingyuan's hand and weighed it, "It's generous enough, let's say it." ”

"Fu Ci, the wife of the Prince Regent and the third lady of the Fu family," Qingyuan said.

The man laughed, "No wonder you are so generous." It turned out to be a master with a background! ”

"Do you want to do this deal?" asked Qingyuan.

"Do!"

One word is the most refreshing!

"She's out of the city, this is the token", Qing Yuan took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and put it in front of the man.

The person who joined the joint picked up the token and put it on the pad in his hand, then turned it over and looked at it, and there was a big word on it. It's just that this font is not what they usually write, the man in black stared at it for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose a little arc, and it was just covered by the mask, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "Do what we do, will you need this?" ”

Qing Yuan glared at him, wanting to reach out and get the token back, but the man in black suddenly withdrew his hand and stuffed the brand into his sleeve, "You can bring this gold back and keep this brand as a reward, how about it?" ”

"Don't-", Qing Yuanteng stood up and was about to grab it.

The man locked her neck with one hand, "Let me ask again, do you want to give it?" ”

The manpower of the joint is very sufficient, Qingyuan was so red that he opened his mouth for a long time before saying a word.

Seeing that Qingyuan answered, the man let go of his hand, "Ten days later, come here to take its head." ”

With that, the man hurried out the door. In a trance, Qingyuan couldn't even see the shadow of that person.

But it's okay, there is such a person to take Fu Ci's life, I'm afraid that Lord Yama won't dare not accept her, right?

Thinking about it, Qingyuan grinned. After catching his breath, he walked out of the room with the baggage.

At this time, the thunder sounded non-stop, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressing on the overhead, and the lightning from time to time made Qingyuan very weak. With every thunderclap, she felt like it was cracking at her, so much so that several times when she slipped back through the back door to the Regent's palace, she scared herself to herself.

The old saying is good - don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!

Although she didn't meet anyone on the way back to Furong Garden, the sound of the wind, the rain, the thunder, and the branches and leaves that were dancing in the wind and rain made Qingyuan afraid to avoid it, and in the end, she didn't even need an umbrella to run into the house, and she got into the quilt without caring about the wet rain on her body.

This night, Qingyuan was very frightened. Although she is jealous, she is still the first time to do this kind of business, so she can't help but be very panicked.

It rained all night, and thunder hit all night.

In the early morning of the second day, the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants were covered with rain, and the air was soaked with the smell of earth.

Su Manshuang got up early in the morning, and after eating, she leaned on the head of the bed to do needlework for the child in her womb. Her needlework is very attractive, and her tiger head shoes, tiger head hat, and those delightful little clothes are very exquisite. Looking at the pattern of this dress, it can be seen that Su Manshuang is looking forward to a male fetus in her womb.

Also, how difficult would life be for a person without grace without a son?

Although the girl is good, she will marry after all. Just like now, she can no longer rely on Su You for everything, nor can she serve her knees.

"Go find Aunt Qingyuan", Su Manshuang stretched out her waist tired and said to the little maid standing next to her.

The little maid answered, and after saluting Su Manshuang, she went to Qingyuan's room to look for her.

Qingyuan was frightened a lot, and she hadn't freshened up yet. It rained last night, and my clothes weren't returned, but now they're dry.

The little maidservant knocked on the door, "Auntie, Aunt Qingyuan." ”

"Who?" Qingyuan shouted outside the door.

"It's me, Tassel. Niang Niang will let you go there," said the little maid.

Seeing that it was Su Manshuang who summoned her, Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "You go back to Yu Niangniang, I'll go." ”

Tassel answered, returned to Su Manshuang's room and brought Qingyuan's words to her.

After a quarter of an hour's effort, Qingyuan stood in front of Su Manshuang.

"I look at my aunt's bad look, but she's sick?" Su Manshuang put down the activity in his hand and asked.

After Qingyuan responded indiscriminately, he explained hesitantly: "Last night, last night the thunder was loud, I just didn't sleep well." ”

"It's okay if you're not sick," Su Manshuang said as she pointed to the stool on the side and motioned for Qingyuan to sit down.

"Tomorrow is my father's birthday, so my aunt will come with me to Crouching Tiger Pavilion," Su Manshuang said.

She didn't know where she got the courage to go to her with a shy face after Cangxi said those words, and asked him to accompany her back to Su Mansion to celebrate her father's birthday. However, there is one thing that Su Manshuang has in her heart - Cangxi will not refuse her.

If Cangxi wants to gain a foothold in Qiu Ye, he still needs Su You's help. What's more, the only one who can play with the He family in this place is the Su Mansion. Cangxi has done such a thing as betraying Fu Ci, how could he soothe Su You's face because of this trivial matter? Su Manshuang can see this clearly.

Hearing that he went to see Cangxi, Qingyuan was a little frightened, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Su Manshuang saw all this in her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with my aunt?" ”

"No, it's out of the way. I just thought about what gifts to prepare for the master", Qingyuan said with a dodgy look.

Su Manshuang didn't believe her words, and asked further, "Auntie has something to hide from me?" ”

"Where's the word!" Qingyuan immediately retorted, and then said: "The slave maid just didn't sleep well, and her spirit was a little worse. ”

With her words, Su Manshuang put down the work in her hand and continued: "In this case, my aunt will go to sleep for a while." After lunch, come with me to Crouching Tiger Pavilion. ”

After Qingyuan responded, he gave Su Manshuang a salute and walked out of the room.

After Qingyuan left, Su Manshuang asked at the tassel: "When you went to invite Qingyuan, what was she doing?" ”

The tassel looked in the direction that Qingyuan left, thought for a while and said, "Auntie didn't let the slave maid enter the door, the slave maid shouted twice outside the door, and when she heard the movement, Aunt Er didn't seem to get up at that time. ”

When Ying Tassel said this, Su Manshuang felt more and more strange and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with her?" ”

Tassel pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "After Concubine Xu was pregnant, my aunt has been worried about being tired here and there, and I want to rest for a few days." ”

Su Manshuang didn't think much about it, and responded casually.

The sun was southerly, and Fu Ci became more and more unwell in the carriage. In the past two days, the car and horses have been tired, and the rest at night is not good, plus the wind and rain last night were in time, Fu Ci suffered a little cold, and his head was a little hot.

Cheng Yue and Hongyu discussed letting Fu Ci rest in the inn for a few days before leaving, but Fu Ci rejected the kindness of the two. She didn't want to delay her trip on the road, and she didn't want to cause trouble to Cheng Yue and Hongyu. What's more, he is not a serious illness, Xiangluo is a portable doctor. With her, it won't be a big deal.

"Madam, drink some more water", Xiangluo handed the water bag to Fu Ci.

Fu Ci was leaning on Hongyu's shoulder, and when he heard Xiangluo's voice, he raised his head weakly and took the water bag.

Xiangluo reached out and touched Fu Ci's forehead, winked at Hongyu, and shook his head slightly.

Hongyu sighed, "Madam, let's rest for a day before making plans." ”

Fu Ciqiang took two sips of water with strength, "It's not so delicate." ”

Hongyu looked at Fu Ci like this, and was very distressed. She had just left that sad place, and the strings in her heart suddenly loosened, and the weather changed suddenly, and Rao was beaten by Fu Citie.

"Madame, let's listen to the advice of the red jade girl, this disease can't be delayed", Xiangluo persuaded.

"Aunt Xiangluo has said it, you better listen to a word of persuasion," Hongyu continued.

Fu Ci had no spirit to compete with these two people. The discomfort from every inch of skin also made Fu Ci give up struggling, and nodded.

Seeing that Fu Ci responded, Hongyu hurriedly opened the carriage door and said to Cheng Yue: "Madame is unwell, let's find a nearby place to find a Lang Zhong to treat Madame." ”

"Good girl, where can I find a doctor if I don't have a village or a store in the future?" Cheng Yue said while driving.

Although he said that he had no place to stay, Cheng Yue involuntarily accelerated the speed of the horse.

"You have to think of a way, the master is having a fever!" Ruby said.

Hearing this, Cheng Yue's strength to drive the horse increased a little. Xu is horse is hurting and running faster.

Cheng Yue thought about it, and suddenly reined in his horse, Hongyu was puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Cheng Yue took a breath, "For today's plan, I can only live in a farmhouse temporarily." ”

"Farmhouse?" Ruby was surprised.

Cheng Yue nodded and poked his head into the carriage.

Fu Ci's burned red face Cheng Yue didn't feel good, he specially softened his voice a lot, and said: "Madam, for today's plan, we can only find a small village to live in first, and then ask a doctor to treat you well." I've wronged you for the time being. ”

Cheng Yue is right, how to find a doctor who is not in the village and has no store in the future?

Although the horses never stopped and ran forward, this place was still far from the village!

However, misfortune does not come alone. The sky is not beautiful, and in an instant, the rain is pouring down.

Cheng Yue didn't expect the rain to come so quickly. The rain hurt his face, and it made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

Hongyu opened the carriage door and let Cheng Yue in to take shelter from the rain. He loosened the reins of the horse, and after his eyes stopped on Fu Ci for a few seconds, he shouted at Hongyu: "Madame's illness, you can't delay, you don't care about me, take care of her!" ”

"No, it's raining too much!" Ruby said as she stepped out of the car door.

Cheng Yue glanced at her with his afterglow and shouted, "Go in!" It's windy outside, close the car door and don't let your lady get cold! ”

Hongyu didn't seem to understand what Cheng Yue said, and was stunned on the spot. Seeing that she didn't react, Cheng Yue tilted his head to look at her, "What are you stunned about?" Close the door! ”

Cheng Yue's tone could not be objected to, Hongyu hurriedly tilted her head to one side, sniffed, bit her lip slightly, and then wiped the thing on her face that was not just rain or tears with her hand, and slammed the door shut.

Hongyu poked her head out for a moment, and her shirt was mostly wet.

Fu Ci was still leaning on Xiangluo's body and fell asleep, Xiangluo lowered his voice and said: "Let's let Cheng Gongzi come in to hide from the rain first, the rain is so heavy, don't let him get cold." ”

"His lump of wood was bent on finding a village," Ruby said. She spoke quickly, and seemed to be complaining about Cheng Yue's stubborn donkey.

Xiangluo wanted to speak again, but looking at Hongyu's slightly reddened eyes and Fu Ci's burnt red cheeks, she didn't know what to say, so she could only silently write down Cheng Yue's kindness in her heart.

"Drive!" Cheng Yue waved the horse whip, if it was a weekday, the horse would definitely spread his steps and run hard, but at this moment the rain was too violent, the horse was in pain, like a crazy rampage, if it wasn't for Cheng Yue's good equestrian skills, the whole carriage would probably have to be thrown out by this crazy horse.

"Beast", Cheng Yue shouted at it, clutching the reins tightly. It's nothing for him to get a little rain, I'm afraid that the horse will lose his temper and frighten Madame.

Just as he was thinking, two masked men suddenly appeared in front of him. Cheng Yue secretly screamed in his heart, thinking that the horse would rush over with such madness. Unexpectedly, the black-clothed man who was the leader took advantage of the opportunity and swung his knife at the reins of the horse. Seeing this, Cheng Yue hurriedly reined in the reins of the horse.

"Pilot-", Cheng Yue suddenly reined in the horse and caught Fu Ci and the others in the car off guard, and leaned forward suddenly.

Such a sudden, Fu Ci's forehead hit the edges and corners in front of the carriage door, and he felt pain for a while. Hongyu was the most sensitive, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and quickly opened the car door. The two masked men, each holding a knife in their hands, were dressed in black night clothes, with a face towel covering their faces, and only their eyes were exposed.

That person's eyes were very sharp, and they were as good as Cangxi.

"Take care of Madame", Hongyu pushed Fu Ci into Xiangluo's arms, grabbed the sword and jumped out of the carriage.

Fu Ci wanted to stop it, but the illness came like a mountain, and he couldn't use any strength.

"Who?"

Hongyu has been begging for a living in the bloody wind and rain since she was a child, and it is not once or twice that she encounters this kind of posture, so she is naturally not afraid of danger.

"We only need the people in the carriage," said one of the men in black.

Hongyu Yuguang glanced at the carriage and sneered, "It's up to you? ”

With that, the sword was unsheathed and stabbed into the throat of the visitor. Cheng Yue saw Hongyu's move, and quickly jumped out of the carriage and drew his sword to help.

Cheng Yue's martial arts are suitable for the battlefield, and in this case, he really can't take advantage of it. It's Hongyu, most of her daily tasks are this kind of single-handedness, and although the masked man has great strength, he can't take advantage of it.
