Xuan Qi picked it up and looked at it, and was sure that it was indeed bloodstains, so he turned his head and asked Zhu Lu, "Is someone injured in the girl's yard?"

"This is ......" The mother-in-law found that she couldn't say anything in front of this bunch of men and dogs, so she had to squeeze her eyes at this fool with an indescribable understanding.

However, Xuan Qi didn't look at her, only stared at the pearl green.

Dressed in pearl green in light red new clothes, her face was redder than her clothes at this time, and she bit her red lips with her teeth, and she was too ashamed to speak. Looking at her complexion, Xuan Qi couldn't understand it, but Zhao Shuyan understood, and immediately smiled, "It should have been accidentally bruised, just have nothing to do in the girl's room." ”

Someone finally broke the embarrassment, and Zhulu immediately whispered, "It's just me, Ying'er, and mother-in-law in the room, but let's ask Rhubarb to go in and check it out, so that you can feel more at ease." ”

I didn't say who can feel at ease, Mr. Yunqing and Wang Luming are both from here, and they only turned their heads and said that the snow in Nanshan Pass seems to be very large, and after a few days of spring, the stream should be able to sail.

Zhao Shuyan turned his head and asked Xuan Qi, "Look? ”

Xuan Qi is very serious and responsible, "Then Miss Lao opens the door and lets Rhubarb go in and have a look." If there are really no small people, we will rest assured. ”

All......

The mother-in-law guarding the door opened her eyes, but she still turned around honestly to open the door, there were not many cross-courtyard rooms, and after Rhubarb looked at it in turn, he returned to Xuan Qi's side, and Xuan Qi took Rhubarb to leave.

Xuan Qicai asked Qin San in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin San is also the second monk of Zhang, and he can't help but look up, "Qin doesn't know either!" ”

Zhao Shuyan endured the embarrassment and explained seriously, "Looking at the demeanor of the pearl green girl, it is clear that it is a menstrual affair. ”

Qin San's face also turned red, he immediately put out a serious appearance, and looked at the sky, "Lord Xuan, look, the clouds in the sky are so white today." ”

Xuanqi is still serious, "It's quite white." The two of them walked well, and they continued to patrol with rhubarb. ”

After Zhao Shuyan and Qin San left, Xuan Qi did not call back Zhang Bing, but immediately took Rhubarb to Xuan Qi's residence, and after entering the house, he asked, "What news does the person who is monitoring Zhulu have any news?"

Xuan Yi immediately sent someone to ask, but there was no change.

"Before dawn today, many waves of people came in to pay New Year's greetings to the two gentlemen, and the brothers did not see any of them enter the pearl green courtyard. Seventh Brother found out that something was wrong? ”

"Not yet, but it just doesn't feel right. If you send more people to keep an eye on it, as long as it comes out of the pearl green courtyard, even if it is her maid, as long as it is out of the Nanshan Pass, it will be detained immediately! After Xuan Qi finished instructing, he called back Zhang Bing to continue to walk around with rhubarb, he hurried back to the first village, found Mama Liu from the palace, and handed over the strip of cloth he took back from the snow, "Mama, look, this is a woman's menstrual blood?" ”

Mama Liu is an old man in the palace, and after she took the white cloth strip and carefully examined the blood stains on it, she shook her head affirmatively, "This blood is clean and free of impurities, and the color is also light, it must not be menstrual blood." If it really came out there, it may be the bleeding caused by the woman's miscarriage. ”

"Mama, does the pearl green girl look like she is pregnant?" Xuan Qi asked again.

Mama Liu, who had only seen pearl green a few days ago, shook her head, "Never." ”

Xuan Qi thanked him, took back the strip of cloth and left, and Mama Liu didn't ask much, and continued to do what she had to do.

When Xuanqi arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, he heard that the girl was still asleep, so he asked Xuanwu to come out and explain what had happened. Xuan Wu was also immediately alert, "Immediately send someone to scan whether there are any fights or casualties within a radius of ten miles, and then send someone to monitor the pearl green courtyard, not a single mouse can be let go!" ”

Xuanqi received the order and went immediately.

Xuan Wu turned around and went back to the house to find Xuan Er, Xuan Yi listened to Xuan Wu's words, and analyzed, "Among the people who came to the first village this morning, one of them was injured. ”

Xuan Wu immediately went over the people who came in the morning, "Black cone? ”

"Yes, judging by his movements, he should have a back injury, and the injury is not light. The black cone is the head of the Wu family's iron guards, although his hair is gray, but he is less than fifty years old, with his ability and vigilance, he must not be an ordinary person who can hurt him, but I don't know when he was injured. ”

Xuan Wu was annoyed, "It's a pity that Rhubarb couldn't come out this morning, otherwise the girl would have been able to ask what happened to the black cone's injury." ”

Big yellow nose spirit, whoever has something wrong with it, can't hide it. Cone is from the Wu family, and it is not surprising that he returned from the battlefield with injuries. As the guards of the Shengwang Mansion, it is not easy for them to send someone over to inquire directly, let alone to inquire secretly. Gao Cangjie and others sent by Emperor Jianlong still live in Nanshan Pass, "secretly" monitoring the county lord's every move. If Takakura Jie learns that they are close to the Wu family, it will not benefit anyone.

"Pearl green makes good use of incense, even if there is a little rhubarb in her house, she can't smell it. You're here to protect the girl, and I'll go and find out. Xuan Yi said in a low voice.

Xuan Wu nodded immediately, "If it's Chai Yanting, the second sister should be careful." ”

Xiao Nuan slept very well this night, and when she woke up, she was invited to the study by Green Butterfly. After Xuan Wu told the story again, he said, "Xuan Yi went to visit it in person, although she didn't go in, but she said that there were only three people in the courtyard of Zhu Lu, and there were no outsiders. ”

Looking at the tassel golden hairpin that Qiu Yue inserted for herself in the bronze mirror, Xiao Nuan shook her head slightly, and commanded directly, "Go and invite Zhulu over." ”

So simply? Xuan Wu was slightly surprised, but Green Butterfly responded crisply, "Yes!" ”

Not long after the green butterfly went out, she came back with pearl green. Because she had not taken a few steps out of Zhuangzi, she saw that Zhulu and her maid were already waiting at the exit of Nanshan Pass.

According to local customs, only men and married women can go out on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings. After lunch, the daughters go out to visit, but only with small playmates who are very close to each other and live not far away. Zhulu came to the first village at this time, in fact, it was a bit presumptuous.

So the first thing she said when she entered the door was not to greet the New Year, but to kneel on the ground and ask for guilt directly, "County Lord, Zhulu pleads with you." ”

Xiao Nuan waved her hand to let Ying'er go down, and then asked, "What are you guilty of?" ”

Zhu Lu bit her lip, "Zhu Lu helped someone heal his injuries this morning. ”

"Who do you not want to say?" Xiao Nuan looked at the pearl-green delicate little face and asked softly.

"Please forgive the county lord, that person is kind to Zhulu, Zhulu can't say it." Zhulu raised his head, looked at Xiao Nuan sincerely, and swore an oath, "Zhulu swears in the name of the ancestors and ancestors that Zhulu has never done anything to be sorry for the county lord. ”

Xiao Nuan sighed, "I know you haven't done anything to be sorry for me." But you can't do anything that violates the law in the future, understand? Only this once, not for example. If someone forces you to obey in the future, you can just come to me, and I will make the decision for you and take that person away. You are a smart person, and the current days are not easy to come by, so cherish it. ”

Zhulu bit her lip and leaned over and whispered, "Yes." ”
