Holding the lamp was the closest, so he was naturally the first to react, and suddenly got up and didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and rushed into the bedroom barefoot, and grabbed the copper candlestick in his hand when he passed the small table, for fear that Ruan Mianmian would be hijacked by bad people.

In fact, there is a reason why Zhu Zhan thinks so, I am afraid that the whole county lord's mansion will have a lot of uneasy thoughts today because of Li Binghai's escape, and now there are screams in Ruan Mianmian's room, and people naturally can't help but think about Li Binghai.

Holding a candlestick and rushing into the bedroom, but seeing that there was no thrilling scene as she imagined, only two candles were still on, Ruan Mianmian was sweating and sitting on the bed in a trance with the quilt, seeing her come in, she asked listlessly: "Holding the lamp, what time is it now?" ”

Holding the lamp and putting down the candlestick, he looked at the still dark sky outside the window and a thin line of light on the horizon, poured a cup of tea for Ruan Mianmian and handed it to the bedside: "Go back to the county lord, it's the fourth watch, and the sky will be bright in one hour." What's wrong with you, are you having a nightmare? ”

Ruan Mianmian took the tea and took a sip, which was cold and moistened his throat, and then he felt a little more comfortable: "I had a nightmare, and I woke up when I thought of something very terrifying, and my heart was still pounding, and I couldn't calm down." ”

"The county lord doesn't have to worry, the people left by the king are already guarding various places, and the county lord's mansion can't even fly in, it's safe." Holding a small hand and gently caressing Ruan Mianmian's back, she was shocked to find that her pajamas had been soaked with sweat on her back, what a terrible nightmare this could scare her like this.

"Yes, the county lord's mansion is very safe, we know, and Li Binghai also knows, so if he wants to take revenge on Yipinxiang, where will he go?" Ruan Mianmian closed her eyes tightly, not daring to think about it, and suddenly heard that the door outside was knocked open, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Jiang Xinyue, Mu Ruqing, and Liu Xin'er rushing in with a group of maids, and they had already arrived in front of her.

They all seemed to be in a hurry, many of them were wearing pajamas and coats, Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing came over directly in pajamas, the two of them were still pulling their belts and tying knots in their hands as they walked, and they were relieved to see that Ruan Mianmian was fine.

Ruan Mianmian was completely awakened by their battle, just looked at Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing stunned, then rubbed her eyes, and her eyes became confused again: "Sister, you tell them all to go back to sleep, I'm fine, you stay and talk to me." ”

Jiang Xinyue was distressed when she saw that she was covered with sweat, so she immediately followed her words and waved her hand to let the other maids go down to sleep, and only Mu Ruqing, Jiang Xinyue, and Liu Xin'er came over in the room, poured water for them with a lamp, and brought a soft towel for Ruan Mianmian to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead.

"How's it going, is it a nightmare? How scared like this. Liu Xin'er moved a small stool and sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Ruan Mianmian's hand, and exclaimed, "Why are your hands so cold!" ”

It's just that Ruan Mianmian didn't react, and still looked at Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing standing in front of her a little cutely, and the two of them felt a little uncomfortable, and they each looked at each other, Mu Ruqing asked, "What's wrong, what's so good-looking on the two of us?" ”

Ruan Mianmian opened his mouth and moved his gaze down a few points, so Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing also looked at their bodies, it didn't matter what they looked at, the two of them almost flew up, and a blush appeared on their faces at the same time, and they didn't know how to describe it in embarrassment.

It turned out that although the two of them were dressed in pajamas, they were somehow wearing each other's belts to each other's waists. Jiang Xinyue wore a white cotton robe, and Mu Ruqing wore a black silk robe embroidered with gold threads, but Jiang Xinyue had a black belt on her waist, and Mu Ruqing tied a white belt, one black and one white were particularly conspicuous.

Jiang Xinyue immediately glared at Mu Ruqing with disgust: "What else are you looking at!" Stinky men are to blame you! Hurry up and switch with me! As he spoke, he took off his belt and threw it into his arms, then ripped off his belt and tied it himself, his mouth was still scolding and full of disgust, and the blush on his face was deep as if it was about to drip water.

Liu Xin'er's face was also very exciting, she had been anxious about Ruan Mianmian just now, and she didn't notice it, now that she saw such a big drama, her expression was wonderful, and she almost didn't write the words "I understand" on her face, and looked at the two people who were changing clothes in a panic with bad intentions, and by the way, she also covered Ruan Mianmian's eyes, and didn't let go until the two of them cleaned up: "Don't look at this, children, tsk, it's bad morals." ”

"Huh?" Ruan Mianmian was a little confused, she didn't understand what Liu Xin'er meant, and waited for her hand to take it away before she realized it, "You guys are too in a hurry, I don't really have anything to do, it's just a dream." ”

Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing glanced at each other a little embarrassed, but Mu Ruqing diverted the topic: "What kind of dream are you having, tell us about it." ”

"I don't remember the specifics, I just dreamed that in a big desert, there was no tree, it was very empty, a man was hurrying with one foot deep and one foot shallow, staggering, a cripple, carrying a knife with a fierce face, I woke up frightened." Ruan Mianmian was still a little scared when she said it, so she hurriedly poured another sip of water.

"Cripple? You were frightened by Li Binghai's matter, don't worry, he can't harm us. ”

"That's why I can't let go, think about it, if he also knows that it can't hurt us, who will he hurt to make us sad and desperate?" Ruan Mianmian already had some tears in her eyes, and she trembled a little at the end of her speech, as if she didn't dare to continue thinking along this line.

"You're saying he's going to strike at a cannon thousands of miles away?" The expressions of everyone present became serious, quietly thinking about the possibility of this matter.

"Perhaps, if he was out of town, he would really choose to do so." Mu Ruqing pinched Jiang Xinyue's palm, "But the dream of sleeping is a wake-up call for us, the defense in the county lord's mansion is tight enough, I will send the king's team back early in the morning, and ask him to place people in the barracks to guard the cannons, and if the situation changes, escort the cannons back to Beijing in time." Although he is just a cripple, it is unknown whether there is still King Qi's eyeliner outside, so he still has to be careful. ”

Jiang Xinyue nodded, this is indeed the best way, Fang Cannon is still just a soldier on the surface after all, if he is asked to protect him at this moment, he can't find a reason and excuse, it is better to learn from King Qi to place people in the barracks, and it will not be conspicuous.

Ruan Mianmian smiled faintly, and said softly: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, the cannon is so far away from us, and it's not a temporary thing for Li Binghai to think about a cripple, but we have a lot of things to do right now, only by giving him a solid backing here, he can also live at ease over there." ”

After talking for a while, the sky was also bright, and seeing that they couldn't sleep back, they all made an appointment to go back and clean up and discuss in the flower hall. Before leaving, Liu Xin'er glanced back at Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue, who were walking towards the main room together, covered her mouth and secretly laughed for a while, sighing that these two people were really making rapid progress in their relationship.

After daylight, everyone washed up and changed into their daily clothes and came to the flower hall. Ruan Mianmian didn't rest well, and she wore a somewhat plain light green dress, and a few blue-green velvet flowers were also obliquely inserted on her head, and she didn't look as energetic as before, yawning lazily, and her eyes couldn't open.

As soon as everyone here sat down and didn't have time to take a breath, a small servant came in at the outer door to report that there was something very important to report, Mu Ruqing asked people to come in immediately, and the little guy who heard it say that someone came to the Wei Mansion outside to report the funeral, and the Duchess of Wei passed away last night.

Everyone felt that this news was too sudden, not that the stroke would not cause death in a short period of time, why did he die in only two days, it shouldn't be. And at this juncture, from the officialdom to the people, who doesn't know that the grievances between the Duke of Wei and Yipinxiang are very deep, and at this moment, the Duchess of Wei passed away suddenly, and I am afraid that the gossip outside will also bring Yipinxiang.

"Let's go down." Mu Ruqing didn't show any emotion, and frowned only after waving off this little messenger, obviously thinking of this.

"I think it's a bit strange that the people of Guogongfu died." Liu Xin'er pointed her finger on the table and pondered, "Although the stroke cannot be completely cured, if you find a good doctor, it is still simple to save your life, and the elderly of ordinary small families can live for a few more years after a stroke, and in comparison, why did the Duke of Wei, which has many better conditions, have such a thing, it is really unreasonable." ”

"Are you saying that the Duchess's illness is not as simple as a stroke, or that the stroke is not fake, but the cause of death is something else?" Jiang Xinyue raised her head.

"It's not impossible, think about it, we have seen the chaos in the Guogong Mansion, these people are indifferent and stupid, maybe they will directly let the old lady die for some benefit, or their struggle has reached the surface, someone wants to get some power from the old lady." Ruan Mianmian thought back to the faces of the people of the Wei State Mansion in the court yesterday, and felt sick in his heart, and did not doubt that they could do such a thing.

"Just in case, let's send someone to investigate, usually someone from this kind of big family dies, and the personal maid who serves him will also be dismissed from the house, maybe you can start from here. In addition, there is still a need to do face work, I will send a letter to Meiyuan later, and ask Duan Yan to come over and go to condolence with Xin'er, remember to listen to the truth and adapt to the situation. Mu Ruqing arranged everything properly.

Hearing such unfortunate news early in the morning, others were not interested in chatting, Ruan Mianmian was still accompanied by Zhan Zhan to the store to prepare to start eating, Liu Xin'er changed her clothes and waited for Duan Yan to go to mourn together, Mu Ruqing took Jiang Xinyue into the palace, during this time the dark tide was turbulent, and some things still depended on the emperor's attitude.
