The sky in the north is short, and it is already dark at this time, and the lanterns are lit up in the county king's mansion, and the huge palace is decorated with colorful colors, as bright as day.

Under the light, Shen Tong saw that the king of Yanbei County was hanging his head, and the people around him were in a hurry, he had to follow suit, he was hunched over, and he walked like a heavy coolie.

Shen Tong subconsciously touched her heart, for some reason, her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't breathe, as if she was nervous, and like ...... Afraid.

Will she be afraid?

Shen Tong gasped for breath, trying to alleviate the sudden fear.

She had forgotten the last time she had been afraid, maybe in a past life, maybe in this life, maybe she had never been.

But now, she was really scared, even though she didn't know why she was afraid, what she was afraid of, but she could hear her own heartbeat, and she even wanted to vomit because of the nervousness.

Shen Tong hid behind a tree and watched the king of Yanbei and his party walk into the hall.

She bent down, wanted to throw up, retched a few times, and nothing came out.

"Are you from the Qin Palace? What's wrong? Sick? Don't vomit here, dirty place, you don't want to live anymore! A man who looked like a steward came over, and Xu saw that she was retching, and came over and shoved her.

Shen Tong had a white face, smiled apologetically, and asked flatteringly, "Uncle, where is the official room?" ”

"You still want to go to the official quarters? Don't be afraid of disturbing the nobles, you go to the toilet in the back, go quickly, it's dirty, it's disgusting! ”

The steward pinched his nose and waved his hand in disgust, just like the little waiter in front of him was a fly and wanted to blast it away quickly.

Shen Tong thanked him and ran towards the toilet used by the people behind.

Only the prince and the princess's mansion can use the inner servant, there must have been an inner servant in the Yan Wangfu before, after the death of the Yan Wang, the king of Yanbei County descended to the title, the Yanbei Wangfu is no longer the prince's mansion, but the county king's mansion, the county king's mansion can not use the inner servant, the original inner servant will be released from the house, looking at the dislike of the steward just now, he almost didn't write a few words on his face to hate the inner servant.

The world has a lot of rejection of eunuchs, this steward obviously came after the Yan Wangfu became the county king's mansion, he didn't get along with the inner servant, and when he saw the inner servant, he hated to blast away.

"Little father-in-law, wait a minute."

A voice came from behind, and Shen Tong involuntarily stopped.

The person who spoke was fair-skinned and had a baby face, but it was Yang Jinting, the fourth son of Yang.

Shen Tong gave a salute and said, "It turned out to be the fourth prince of Yang, I don't know what the fourth prince of Yang ordered to call our family?" ”

Yang Jinting smiled beautifully, with a deep dimple on each cheek.

"Why didn't the little father-in-law serve by the third son's side, running so quickly, where is this going?"

"People have three urgencies, hehe." Shen Tong laughed dryly.

"Oh, I see, then the little father-in-law should go quickly", Yang Jinting smiled and pointed to the front, "Walk through this plum forest, and then go around a courtyard." ”

It turned out that it was so far away, and Shen Tong felt that the excuse that the steward had given her was really useful.

She followed the example of the chamberlains of the Qin Palace, thanked Yang Jinting, and walked quickly towards the merlin.

"Little father-in-law, it's the first time you come to the county king's mansion, be careful." Yang Jinting kindly advised.

Shen Tong was slightly stunned, what does this mean?

She looked at the Merlin in front of her, there was no light in the Merlin, it was dark, and for some reason, there were so many lights lit in the county king's mansion, but there was no lamp in the Merlin, was this to save money on lamp oil?

Shen Tong chuckled in his heart and ran towards the merlin.

Fortunately, she was accosted by the steward and Yang Jinting, the inexplicable fear in her heart was gone, Shen Tong let out a long breath, what is wrong today, again and again out of control, just like today outside the city gate, Fang Fei was right, she almost rushed over and killed Yang Jinxuan.

What's wrong with her?

In the past, if someone was so reckless, she must have thought that person was a fool.

But today, just one step away, she became a fool.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Shen Tong stopped outside Merlin.

It's him, you can't hear it wrong, it's his voice, the person who is at the gate of the city today, and the person who grabbed her sleeve is his voice.

He's here, maybe he's always been there.

Shen Tong pursed his lips and smiled, what a child, come here, and pretend to be a ghost.

But now, she didn't have time to think about it, because she heard the cry.

Crying from Merlin.

It's a girl's cry, a very small girl.

Shen Tong suddenly turned around, and Yang Jinting's figure was no longer visible under the shadow of the lights in the distance, but it was the steward who was talking to a small servant with his hands on his waist.

At that time, she was running this way, and she didn't see where Yang Jinting came from, maybe he came early, but she was bending over and retching at that time, and she didn't see him.

Since Yang Jinting led her to Merlin, he thought that he knew that there were people in Merlin, and he might have just walked through here.

Shen Tong didn't think much about it anymore and walked into Merlin quickly.

This piece of plum forest is very large, the plum trees are strange, they are all old plums of some years, and I think this is all when King Yan was there.

The further she went inside, the clearer the cry became.

She is wearing the clothes of the chamberlain, and the shoes on her feet are also the cloth-bottomed cotton shoes worn by the chamberlain, she is a person who practices martial arts, her movements are already light, and she wears cloth shoes, even if she steps on the broken branch on the ground, she does not make a sound.

As she got closer, she heard the voice of another person, and there was not just a little girl in Merlin, but another one.

One is crying, the other is sobbing.

When Shen Tong suddenly appeared in front of them, the two little girls covered their mouths in fright.

He just covered his mouth, but did not make an exclamation.

Can't they even shout?

Shen Tong's heart tightened, she knew who they were.

Although there were no lights in the plum forest, the moonlight and distant lights could shine through the evacuated plum branches, allowing Shen Tong to see the clothes on their bodies clearly.

They were not maids of the palace, they wore cloaks with fox fur and beaded flowers on their heads.

They should be the daughters of King Yan and the sister of King Yanbei!

"Why are the two county lords here? What about those who are waiting around you? Shen Tong asked softly.

The two little girls hugged each other tightly and looked at her in horror, but they had no intention of running away.

Perhaps, just as they can't shout, they don't know what it means to run away.

Shen Tong remembered that Xiao Ren had said that the daughters of King Yan were young, and like the King of Yanbei County, they were isolated from the world and raised in the palace.

is isolated from the world, why do you still come to Meilin to cry when you know that someone from the Qin Palace's mansion is coming?

Although Merlin and the banquet hall were not close, they were not far away.

What about the caretakers?

And why did Yang Jinting guide himself here?
