got permission to leave King Rui's Mansion, and the next day, Du Xiaomeng, who looked no different from usual, waited for Yu Tianzheng to go out, and then asked Meijing and Xia Yu to arrange for her to go to the General's Mansion.

Meijing and Xia Yu quickly arranged a carriage for Du Xiaomeng, accompanied by Meijing to the General's Mansion.

The carriage started slowly, and Du Xiaomeng, who was sitting in the car, looked calm, but under the calm illusion was nervousness and fear. She was worried that there would be unexpected changes at the moment of escape, and the hands hidden under the fox fur involuntarily touched the hard thing in her arms. The hard thing hidden in her arms is the jade Ruyi sent by Yu Tianzheng, last night Yu Tianzheng said that this jade Ruyi was originally a pair, one was given to her and one was kept in her hands, as a proof, as long as she took out this jade Ruyi in the future, she could let Yu Tianzheng do three things for her unconditionally.

In order not to make others suspicious of this escape, she didn't take anything with her, but just hid Yu Ruyi close to her when no one was paying attention. If there is any change on the way out of Rui Wangfu, or if Yu Tianzheng has any difficulties for her, this jade ruyi is the last bargaining chip in her hand.

said that fortunately, there were no obstacles on the way, and the carriage finally left the Rui Wang's Mansion smoothly and headed for its destination.

Lifting the heavy curtain to reveal a little gap and looking out, seeing the scenes of the bustling street passing by one by one and quickly being left behind by the carriage, Du Xiaomeng put down the curtain and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled lightly at Meijing, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Meijing girl, please call me when you arrive." ”

With that, she gathered the fox fur on her body and leaned against the carriage to close her eyes and recuperate.

The swaying carriage rushed all the way forward without hurry, and the road that Du Xiaomeng had walked many times from the Rui Wang's Mansion to the General's Mansion seemed to be much longer than usual, pretending to close her eyes and recuperate, she felt that this section of the road seemed to have no end, and even she once suspected that the car was running endlessly towards a place that was not the General's Mansion.

When Du Xiaomeng's mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped, and then she heard Meijing saying, "Miss Du, the General's Mansion has arrived." ”

Du Xiaomeng's heart skipped a beat, and a little nervousness surged up inexplicably. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart, slowly opened her eyes, stood up, and was helped out of the carriage by Meijing.

The gate of the General's Mansion was closed, and the stone steps in front of it were completely covered with thick snow, and it looked like no one had been in or out of it for a long time. Although Du Xiaomeng had imagined what the situation would be like for the general's mansion who was involved in the rebellion, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she saw this depressed and cold scene with her own eyes.

The beautiful scenery made Du Xiaomeng stand under the stone steps, and he stepped on the thick snow and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while, no one came to open the door, and the beautiful scenery knocked hard for a while, but there was still no sound behind the door.

Helpless, Meijing had no choice but to turn around and walk down and say to Du Xiaomeng: "Miss Du, it seems that no one is in the General's Mansion at this time. It's freezing on this day, or you go back to the Rui Wang's Mansion first, and the slaves and maids stay here and wait for the people from the General's Mansion to come back. ”

Du Xiaomeng did not answer Meijing's words. There shouldn't be no one in the General's Mansion at this time, Zhan Qi and his family, who are suspended pending trial, can go anywhere at this time except to obediently stay in the General's Mansion and wait for the fate? She frowned, thought for a moment, then turned and walked in one direction.

Meijing hurriedly followed and asked, "Miss Du, where are you going?" ”

"Back door." Du Xiaomeng didn't reply to the two simple words, and walked forward without slowing down.

When I went around to the back door of the general's mansion, I saw that the door was also closed, but there was a road in front of the door that could accommodate one person, and there was a row of obvious footprints on the thin layer of snow on the ground, and when I walked over just now, Du Xiaomeng also saw smoke rising from behind the wall. She stepped forward and knocked on the closed back door, and soon heard a rush of footsteps hurrying closer.

It was Aunt Yang, the wife of Steward Yang, who came to open the door, and when she opened the door and saw the person standing outside the door, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression on her face.

Du Xiaomeng greeted her with a smile: "Hello Aunt Yang." ”

After Aunt Yang came back to her senses, she looked at Du Xiaomeng and then at the beautiful scenery, she didn't invite the guests in immediately, but asked cautiously: "Excuse me, why did Miss Du and Miss Meijing come together?" ”

Since the rebellion was suppressed, the general has been suspended pending trial because of Mrs. Qiu, and no one else has visited the general's palace recently, except for the relevant officials who have come from time to time to investigate and collect evidence. Now that Du Xiaomeng suddenly came to visit, accompanied by the beautiful scenery of the maids in the Rui Wang's Mansion, Aunt Yang had to be vigilant and deal with it carefully in this extraordinary period.

Seeing Aunt Yang's cautious and cautious appearance, the smile on Du Xiaomeng's face did not diminish at all and said, "Aunt Yang, I am here to find Steward Yang, is he here?" ”

Aunt Yang replied, "Old Yang, he just went out to feed the old man and catch the medicine." What is Miss Du looking for him? ”

Du Xiaomeng said: "I asked Steward Yang to help me collect a thing before, and I came to retrieve it today." ”

Aunt Yang heard Du Xiaomeng say that she was here to ask for something, and she put it down when she mentioned her half-empty heart. She leaned sideways to give up her position and said, "Lao Yang told me before, saying that if Miss Du comes to get things back and he no longer has them, let me hand them over on my behalf, I know where the things Miss Du wants, and the two girls please come in." ”

Aunt Yang welcomed Du Xiaomeng and Meijing in and brought them to the living room, and after they sat down, she said, "Miss Du, please wait a while, I'll go and get the things." ”

She hurried out, and after a while brought the black box with the lock.

Du Xiaomeng said thank you, took the box, and shook the lock hanging on it, and the lock was quite firm. She handed the box to Meijing with both hands and said, "Meijing girl, can you please bring this box back to the palace to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”

Meijing took the box suspiciously and asked, "Miss Du, you can give the box to His Highness by yourself, why do you want the slave to bring it back?" ”

Du Xiaomeng smiled at her and said lightly: "I don't plan to go back to Rui Wangfu, so I can only let the beautiful girl do it for me." Trouble Miss Meijing to say to His Royal Highness by the way: Xiaomeng lived up to his wrong love, and she is really sorry. ”

"Miss Du, what do you mean by that?" Meijing was a little confused by Du Xiaomeng's strange behavior.

Du Xiaomeng slowed down and said word by word: "I won't go back to Rui Wang's Mansion again, please ask Miss Jingjing to bring the box back for me, Your Highness will naturally understand after seeing the contents of the box." ”
