Then, I skipped lunch and went to dinner.

The items ordered are scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried meat with lettuce, and there is no staple food!

After that, the types of meals in the next two meals were mostly greasy, and the number was almost three times that of the previous one!

Could it be that practicing that mysterious kung fu made her food soar?

Lan Xin's slender eyebrows frowned, and she read the things that Princess Keya had ordered a few times before, and found that this princess seemed to be particularly fond of sweets, and would order desserts for almost every meal!

However, after that blank lunch, this habit seems to be gone!

Her eyes fell on "scrambled eggs with leeks and stir-fried meat with lettuce", the names of the two dishes, if you only look at the first two words, wouldn't it be a homonym for the word "save me"?

Could it be that the man in black took control of Princess Koya and was hiding in her place of residence at this time?

Lan Xin's heart beat faster a few beats, and she stood up suddenly: If this is the case, then it can't be delayed any longer, otherwise, Princess Keya will be in danger!

No, you can't act rashly! You have to think of a perfect solution!

The man in black was injured, even if he took Princess Koya as a hostage, he wouldn't have hurt her life in a short time!

At the moment, I don't know what the specific situation of Princess Keya is, she is too reckless, in case the man and dog in black jump off the wall in a hurry, it will be even more difficult to save Princess Keya!

Thinking of this, Lan Xin forcibly suppressed her inner impulse and sat down again, she glanced at the hourglass, it was almost time to apply at this moment!

"Cui'er!" She shouted out the window, "Go and see Gu Gongzi has woken up?" ”

Cui'er answered cheerfully across the wall and trotted away.

After a while, he turned back: "Miss, Gu Gongzi hasn't woken up yet!" ”

Lan Xin thought for a moment and said, "That's it! I'm sorry for you to go to the guest house again, and call the maid in charge of serving Miss Koya over here, don't forget to alarm the others! ”

"Yes! Miss! ”

Soon, Cui'er brought back a little maid with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

"Slave Xiao'e, I've seen Miss!" The little maid saluted.

Lan Xin said: "You get up." Xiao'e, I want to ask you some things, these things are very important, you must promise not to hide it, and do not mention what we are talking about today to a third person! ”

Cui'er received the young lady's eyes, nodded slightly, and walked out of the room quickly, not forgetting to close the door.

Xiao'e learned from others that the young lady had regained her senses, and she never thought that she would be able to meet her so soon!

She has heard countless rumors about Miss, although she has not had the opportunity to serve by Miss's side, but she is not a stranger, a normal Miss with a full soul, and her majesty is not inferior to that of the Lord!

In this closed space, only she and Miss were left, which made Xiao'e feel more stressed, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze all over her body!

However, since she was selected to serve Princess Kéya, she naturally has her own merits! No matter how nervous and nervous he was, his face was still as usual, and his answers were like a stream.

"Yes, Miss! The slave must be cautious in her words and deeds, and know everything! ”

Lan Xin nodded appreciatively and said, "Okay!" ”

She paused for a moment and smiled: "Actually, you don't have to worry, my Miss Ben just woke up, I don't know what the interests of those nobles are, so I will quietly ask you about it, so that we can get along in the future!" ”

So that's it!

Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes!" ”

"That Miss Koya is very fond of desserts?" Lan Xin asked.

"Yes, Miss Keya will ask the kitchen to make some pastries almost every day after brunch and eat them with flower tea!" Xiao'e replied.

"Every day?" Lan Xin deliberately bit the word "daily".

Xiao'e was slightly stunned, thought about it, and corrected: "It's not all, just like yesterday, Miss Keya went out for something, and when she came back at dusk, she didn't order the afternoon dessert to eat!" But the slave maid guessed that Miss Keya must have eaten elsewhere! ”

"Did she have a little dessert today?"

"This, but not yet."

"Yesterday, where did Miss Keya get the martial arts secrets?"

"Miss Hui, the slave doesn't know. On weekdays, Miss Keya never allowed slaves and maids to follow her. ”

"Yesterday at lunchtime, Miss Keya wasn't in the yard?"

"Yes! Yesterday, as usual, Miss Keya went out of the courtyard after breakfast, and returned an hour later! After eating the dessert, she didn't ask the slave to help recommend the dishes as usual, and suddenly went out in a hurry! When the slave maid saw that she was about to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, after asking, she got the answer that there was no need to prepare it specially, and she would talk about it when she came back! ”

"Did you see her when she came back?"

"Not really! Miss Keya dried some petals two days ago, to make a sachet, and asked the slave to put it away every day, and the slave was collecting the petals in the courtyard at that time! When the slave returned to the courtyard after being busy, she heard a sound coming from Miss Keya's room, and after asking, she realized that it was Miss Keya who had returned! ”

When Lan Xin heard this, her tone was a little stern, and she said, "What a sneaky girl!" Miss Keya didn't return to the room at lunchtime, you don't look around to report to the master, in case something happens to her, you can take it? ”

Xiao'e knelt on the ground in panic and said repeatedly: "Miss, you are wronged!" The slave maid did this before, but every time I found it in Gu Gongzi's residence, yes, sometimes I didn't even return all night, and Miss Keya scolded the slave and maid every time to make a fuss! Yes, the slave and maid don't dare to speak out anymore! ”

Lan Xin had a headache, she waved her hand weakly, and said, "I can't blame you for this!" You get up first! ”

"Thank you, Miss!" Xiao'e stood up in fear.

"After the incident, when will you see Miss Koya again? How is she doing? ”

"Since then, Miss Keya has locked herself in her room and has not been seen again!" Xiao'e said cautiously.

She didn't wait for Lan Xin to ask, and hurriedly added: "But the person in the room is indeed Miss Keya, and the slave can distinguish her voice!" ”

"Haven't seen her?" Lan Xin's slender fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop and muttered, "She has been so eager to eat these few times, how did you send it into her room?" ”

"That's right." Xiao'e was a little aware of the seriousness of the matter, and even more raised her spirit, "Miss Keya said that she will put the note of ordering food outside the door, and let the slave maid get it when the time comes!" And the food sent is also placed outside the door, since Miss Keya started practicing, except for these two times, no one is allowed to come close to the yard! ”

"That is, it's been a whole day, and you haven't seen Miss Koya again, except to hear her voice?"

"Yes."

After Lan Xin asked everything she should ask, she asked Xiao'e to continue to return to the guest house as if nothing had happened.

The man in black was injured at midnight last night, and at that time, Miss Keya had already begun to practice the so-called secret skills!

It stands to reason that if the man in black had already been lurking in the mansion, there was no need to deliberately approach Princess Keya again, unless, he had already expected that he would be injured?

Thinking of this, Lan Xin shook her head categorically and denied it, he couldn't have known Zhenbei's plan, otherwise how could he have fallen into the net?

Princess Keya's abnormality, is it not related to the man in black?

Lan Xin is a little confused!

Zhen Bei hasn't woken up yet, she has been spending the past few years in grief and anxiety since Lu Xiake disappeared, and she hasn't used her brain seriously for a long time to think about such a complicated issue!

suddenly popped up such a big problem, she couldn't help it!

With the issuance of the reward order of the Ma County Order, there have been people who have come to report "suspicious people"!

There are so many people that some people will even come to report every half an hour!

Lan Xin asked the master to find a doorman who could write, and simply vacated a side room, which was responsible for recording these things one by one, and then Cui'er took them every once in a while.

Lan Xin flipped through the already thick "record book", which read, for example, the clues provided by Aunt Li, the gatekeeper, Liu Laohan, who was in charge of pouring the night incense, got up half an hour later than usual this morning, so he suspected that he had behaved abnormally; Xiao Dingzi, an apprentice in the kitchen, accused Master Chef Cui that he was not as usual today, stealing the newly arrived dry goods, which was regarded as abnormal; In addition, Master Xu, a gardener, reported that Master Qing, who was also a cleanliness habit, did not wash his hands after going to the toilet today, which was a great abnormality......

What's more, what Wang Mazi ate half a bowl of rice less, the old Huang family changed the style of his sideburns for the first time, and the bitter drunkard who loves wine broke the wine jar by mistake, and so on.

Lan Xin didn't find any useful information in it, but she was surprised by the keen observation of these seemingly honest subordinates!

She picked up a booklet next to her, which recorded the attendance of all the servants in the house.

Recently, there are not many people who have taken a break, only three of them are Lao Liu, who is in charge of catching the car, and he has to take a break for three days since yesterday, the reason is to go back to his hometown to visit his mother; Mrs. Ma's wet nurse, Hu Shi, relapsed due to an old illness, and went to the next town for half a month to seek medical advice, and she could return home in five days; Gardener Zhang's, rest for five days, the reason column is not filled!

Lan Xin closed the booklet and fell into deep thought, Mafu Lao Liu is an old man in the Ma Fu family, he is over sixty years old, no matter his height and size, or his energy motivation, he does not quite match the characteristics of the man in black who escaped, and it can be ruled out for the time being!

As for Hu and Lan Xin, they are like grandmothers, Ma Xianling and Mrs. Ma have always respected her, and they are the existence of half of the masters in the house, and if they suspect anyone, Lan Xin will not suspect that she will do anything to hurt herself!

It seems that the only one left is this gardener Zhang!

This person has been in Mafu for eight or nine years!

Lan Xin had just come here with her father not long ago, and because she loved gardening, she asked her father to leave this garden, and hired several gardeners who assisted her and served flowers and plants, and this florist was one of them.

In my memory, it was a young man of the same age as her, who was white and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and would blush when she said two or three words to people, like a girl who was always shy!

Just looking at his appearance, he would never have thought that he was a gardener who tended to flowers and soil, but an elegant scholar from a large family!

At the beginning, Lan Xin asked him out of curiosity, why did he choose to be a florist?

His answer was: because I like it!

When asked about his family, he refused to say anything!

Anyway, she kept him!

Zhang Florist is careful and patient, especially caring for flowers and plants, whenever he gets delicate flower seeds, Orchid always has to hand them over to him to cultivate, in order to rest assured!

Once, Lan Xin woke up in the middle of the night, heard the sound of a flute coming from the direction of the garden, the sound of the flute was melodious like crying, and she couldn't help but lean on the window to look, and saw that under the moonlight among the flowers, the gentle and elegant man was holding a bamboo Xiao, playing in the wind, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world!

Later, every night, Lan Xin would wake up and listen to the sound of the flute, until she met Lu Xiake, and this habit was slowly forgotten and changed!

is such a mysterious man, is it really the man in black who is greedy and makes her so miserable?

Lan Xin lifted the pen in her hand, paused slightly, and still circled his name at the end - Zhang Yiran!
