"But you still have to tell me about the fiefdom thief of the Seventh Prince!" Ruan Xiaodie took her hand and said, her face extremely anxious. She hadn't heard from Lu Chuan for a long time.

Xiao Yu looked at her completely different from usual, and guessed a little cautiously: "Your husband shouldn't be in the rebels, right?" ”

"No, he and General An Yuan know each other and are on duty in the army, I'm a little worried, but I can't hear any news in the harem." Ruan Xiaodie immediately explained, "Good sister, just tell me, I'll treat you to strawberry cake tomorrow!" ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" Xiaoyu immediately clapped her hands and said as soon as her words fell.

If it was on weekdays, Ruan Xiaodie might make fun of her, but now it's about Lu Chuan, absolutely not.

"I heard that General An Yuan arranged for someone to sneak attack the rebels from behind, but unfortunately that group of people entered the mountain, and there is no news so far, the court is quarreling because of this group of people now, especially the Seventh Prince, he thinks that this group of people is a thief, maybe he has colluded with the thief and has already joined the enemy." When Xiao Yu said this, he sighed a little, "There is no trace of people now, and the Seventh Prince said this, but he was beaten by the Ministry of Rites." ”

Ruan Xiaodie looked at her, "And then?" ”

"Then, the Queen Mother sent the Ministry of Human Rites and Rites home to think about it, and that group of people still have to find it." Xiaoyu spread his hands and said, "But I heard from my fellow villagers that the court has been very restless recently, and Old Marquis Du is begging for a seat in his unborn child." ”

"What!" Ruan Xiaodie's mind was completely confused when she heard the news, "Didn't Old Marquis Du have a sister-in-law before?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiaoyu deliberately leaned into her ear, "I heard that this sister-in-law has died in the fire, and the little guy next to him was directly killed and thrown into the mass grave because of this incident!" ”

Suddenly, Ruan Xiaodie was cold, she remembered the fire she had left Du Hou's Mansion, and Du Sheng died inside?

"However, Old Marquis Du can also be regarded as an old man." Xiaoyu said with a sigh, looking up to see Ruan Xiaodie's expression, but she didn't expect that the other party's face was all white, only to realize that something was wrong, "Xiaodie, what's wrong?" ”

Ruan Xiaodie shook her head, "I'm a little tired and want to sleep!" ”

After saying that, he got up and looked at Xiao Yu, the expression on his face was more ugly than crying.

Helpless, she half-pushed her out of the room, standing outside a little unaware, "Fluttershy, if you're unhappy, I'm right next door to you!" ”

Ruan Xiaodie half-crouched behind the door, her face already moistened before she knew it.

Du Sheng is gone, and the greedy little young master is gone?

Ruan Xiaodie couldn't believe that Du Sheng had always been smart and wouldn't lose because of a fire, she said while comforting herself, but a voice in her heart kept telling her that it was true.

The next morning, Ruan Xiaodie looked at Cining Palace, she came early in the morning, in order to get out of the palace, she wanted to go and see it herself, seeing is believing and hearing is false.

"Let's go!" A palace maid suddenly passed by her and took her hand and ran directly into the corner.

Ruan Xiaodie didn't sleep all night, she was exhausted, and when someone suddenly grabbed her hand, she didn't react at all, and when she did, she couldn't open her eyes when she did.

There were fewer people in the harem in the morning than usual, because most of them were going to go for the early dynasty, so that no one could see Ruan Xiaodie's struggle.

When she reached a sparsely populated corner, the palace maid let go of her hand.

"Who are you, do you know that this is the palace, if you kill me, you will definitely be killed by the forbidden army." Ruan Xiaodie leaned against the wall and bluffed.

I saw that the palace maid turned around, and the face that had just been wiped on the handkerchief was calm and beautiful, it was Xiao Hong.

"Xiao Hong!" Ruan Xiaodie obviously couldn't help but come, and said in disbelief.

Xiao Hong nodded, she looked at Ruan Xiaodie's appearance and smiled, "Fluttershy, it's me." ”

"Why are you here, Xiao Jian?" Ruan Xiaodie couldn't believe it, Xiao Hong and the others thought they were helping Du Sheng outside the palace, but they didn't expect to be in the palace.

Xiao Hong took the initiative to take out the token on her body, indicating what palace she was doing now, "Earlier, we found out that there was an aunt in the palace who made a mistake and was about to bring the girl from the family into the palace, so we took the opportunity to sneak in, by the way, where are you going?" ”

Ruan Xiaodie heard her ask about this, and her original excitement was immediately diluted by the news she heard yesterday, "They said that Du Sheng died in the fire of the Hou Mansion, and I want to go and see it." ”

"Hahaha." Xiao Hong listened to her words and tapped her finger heavily on her forehead, "Fortunately, I came to see Cining Palace today to see if I could meet you, otherwise you would have taken the initiative to get into the fishing net." ”

Ruan Xiaodie listened to her words and felt that something was wrong, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Du Sheng is not dead, now he is on an errand with me in Concubine Zhu's palace, but he has been on night duty because he is afraid that he will be angry, and it is normal that you can't see him!" Xiao Hong explained, "But we also miss you very much, and we are ready to come to you in the next two days." ”

Ruan Xiaodie immediately curved the corners of her mouth, Du Sheng was not dead, she read it in her heart, but for Lu Chuan, she was inexplicably a little worried.

……

Lu Chuan and several Bei'an soldiers were in the mountains and forests at the moment, looking at the desert in the distance, with a blank look, "I have long heard that Jincheng is covered by desert, and I still don't believe it, after all, it is difficult to see such a situation in Jiangnan." ”

The shadow and the rest of the Bei'an army looked at each other, they got the evidence, but they were forced into the mountain forest, and they didn't expect that there were messy bugs and wild people hiding in the mountain forest, and the traps and methods made were also a little unbearable for them.

Lu Chuan looked back at them, "Brothers, we have no food on us, and it is very likely that we will not be able to get out." ”

Yes, they were about to pick edible plants on the way, but they were poisoned one by one, and in the end they did not dare to touch them at all, and could only eat some leaves, branches, bark, and roots that they knew, so they had no flesh on their faces now.

"Listen to the little master's arrangement." Bei'an Jun knelt down and said very solemnly.

"Good!" Lu Chuan looked at the desert in the distance, "Let's go out!" ”

After saying that, they walked out with the food they had made earlier, but there was little hope.

After a day, all the people fell into the desert, and when they looked back, they could not see the mountains and forests, and they could not see any people when they walked forward, not even water, and everyone's lips were extremely dry.

Lu Chuan lay on the ground, looking at the moonlight in the sky, and gradually rose a little despair.

He touched his chest and thought of Ruan Xiaodie, if he hadn't gone back, she would have married Du Sheng!

The Shadow had fallen down to rest, trying to go out at night to find food for himself, but his eyes had not yet been closed, and he watched his little master sit up like a corpse.
