An older officer and soldier seemed to see something, and glanced back at Nalan Lan'er as he walked, this young lady seemed to be a little familiar?

But before he could look at it any longer, his companion called him back to the yamen.

After they left, Xiaohong helped Nalan Lan'er and said, "Miss, where did you go last night?" ”

Nalan Lan'er returned to the broken temple to get a bun and said, "I slept on this haystack all night last night. ”

"Niangniang, it's all to blame for the negligence of the slave maid! The mother didn't suffer, did she? Clothes...... How did the clothes change. Xiaohong knelt directly on the ground as she spoke, a woman didn't return overnight, and she changed into another set of clothes, anyone would want to be crooked.

Nalan Lan'er looked at the clothes in Xiaohong's hand and said: "I met a beggar last night, he asked me for alms, I wanted to call someone when I was afraid, he was also afraid that I would shout, and threatened me to come to this broken temple, I gave him all the silver taels on my body, and he left." I didn't know the way, so I had to hide here all night. ”

"That garment was cut while walking last night, and the beggar has a knife."

Xiaohong was shocked into a cold sweat when she heard this, and she was afraid after holding Nalan Lan'er's hand: "Fortunately, Niangniang is fine, if Niangniang has a big hair, the slave and maid family will not be enough to compensate." ”

Speaking of the family, Nalan Lan'er thought of a family in Nalan Mansion that was full of beheadings. I continued to wonder in my heart.

Xiaohong saw a few buns on the haystack, and there was still residual heat. She looked at Nalan Lan'er: "Niangniang, who gave you this bun?" ”

Nalan Lan'er took the buns and said, "The beggar gave it to me, saying that I look very much like Nalan Yanran before." ”

Xiaohong nodded, led Nalan Lan'er and walked out and said, "It's a pity that I don't have any memories when I was a child, otherwise I would have recognized what Nalan Yanran was like." ”

Nalan Lan'er was silent, and followed Xiaohong step by step.

Xiaohong helped her and said, "Niangniang, Sister Wan'er is so capable." I feel that she is very attentive to everything about her mother. ”

Nalan Lan'er nodded: "We have shared weal and sorrow together in the cold palace before, and we have experienced a lot. ”

"Sister Wan'er is also very pitiful, she has no relatives by herself." Xiaohong said with a sigh.

"Is Wan'er's father and mother gone?" Nalan Lan'er knotted in her heart.

Xiaohong didn't notice anything different, thought about it and recalled: "I used to hear Sister Wan'er say that her parents died in the years of war and chaos, and she was the only one left in this world. Every time she took leave, Sister Wan'er never went home. ”

Nalan Lan'er wrote down this information, and had some doubts about Wan'er in her heart, the last mandala pollen incident, she said that her father was controlled and she was threatened.

Looking at Xiaohong's slightly innocent nature, intuition should not deceive.

Xiaohong continued: "Last night, Niangniang didn't come back overnight and couldn't tell anyone else, the slave maid had already lied to them before saying that Niangniang had already gone back to rest, and when we went back, we said that we were going out for a walk." ”

Nalan Lan'er looked at the black blue under Xiaohong's eyes and asked, "Have you been looking for it all night?" ”

Xiaohong said with some guilt: "Yes, if the slave knows that Niangniang is here, she can find Niangniang last night, and Niangniang doesn't have to hide in this broken temple and sleep all night." ”

This tone is full of self-reproach.

Nalan Lan'er was moved in her heart, no wonder she had a chill all over her when she rushed to her just now. Because it was a sleepless night.

After she goes back, she must arrange her well, such a person can at least feel at ease by her side.

After going back, no one noticed that Nalan Lan'er was strange last night, and she was going back to the palace, Xiaohong's family first respectfully bowed to her, and then told Xiaohong's parents to pay attention to safety and so on.

Xiaohong said goodbye to her father and mother on the hospital bed, wiped away her tears and got into the carriage.

Nalan Lan'er looked at the tears remaining on her face and comforted: "If you want to come back in the future, you can still come back, your sister-in-law's tofu is so delicious." ”

Xiaohong burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you Niangniang for looking at it, sister-in-law's skill in grinding tofu is deeply loved by everyone, but no one can learn it, including the slave maid." ”

"Don't say anything when you go back, lest you get into trouble." Nalan Lan'er vigilantly kept Xiaohong in mind.

Xiaohong nodded, and instantly returned to the appearance she had met at the beginning, and Nalan Lan'er was very satisfied with it. "Yes, what it was like before you came out, and what it looked like when you went back."

The carriage came from the palace and went back to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of Huayan Palace, the eunuch at the door of the car shouted inside: "Niangniang is back, Niangniang is back!" ”

As soon as she finished shouting, Wan'er's figure ran out of it, and even the other palace maids stood respectfully on both sides, welcoming Nalan Lan'er back.

Whenever the master goes far away, oh, that's the rule.

Nalan Lan'er got out of the car, Xiaohong quietly packed her luggage and followed behind Nalan Lan'er, feeling a sight, Xiaohong looked over with her feelings, and it happened to be Wan'er.

It's just that when she looked at her, she happened to raise a smile and said to Nalan Lan'er: "Niangniang is a little haggard when she goes out to be kind, it must be the hard work of the carriage." ”

Nalan Lan'er nodded, she really didn't sleep well on the haystack last night.

Wan'er helped Nalan Lan'er and said, "Niangniang, let's go into the house and rest." ”

Nalan Lan'er shook her head: "After sitting for a while, I have to go to the emperor to say it again." ”

It's the rule.

Wan'er knew, and poured a cup of tea to quench Nalan Lan'er's thirst.

Xiaohong has consciously returned to the original work corner, quietly as before.

The palace maid who had good things to do approached and asked, "Xiaohong, how did you feel when you were waiting for the mother as a big maid?" ”

Xiaohong shook her head: "When I go outside, I'm just responsible for fetching water, and I didn't let me do anything else." ”

The palace maid sighed: "It's really stupid Xiaohong, if you are more proactive, maybe the mother will have a good impression of you, promote you to a big girl, and sit with Wan'er." ”

Xiaohong shook her head and said, "I'll stay quietly until the day I leave the palace, and my father and mother are still waiting for me to be filial." ”

"Elm head," the palace maid of the good thing did not find anything, and was quite disappointed.

After sitting for a while, Nalan Lan'er was about to go to the imperial study, but she didn't expect Wan'er to say intimately: "Niangniang, you have a good rest." It will be lunch time, and the slave has already sent someone to tell the emperor that the emperor will eat with you at noon today. ”

Nalan Lan'er smiled: "Wan'er is so caring, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed." ”

Sure enough, not long after, the emperor came.

Seeing Nalan Lan'er directly stepped forward and hugged her, sitting on a chair casually, Wan'er and the others had already withdrawn, and the table was full of all kinds of delicacies.

"Lan'er, why do you feel thin when you go out?" Ye Wushuang hugged her waist and tightened, feeling that the person in her arms seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.

Nalan Lan'er smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, it's only been one day, why has Lan'er lost weight?" ”

Ye Wushuang touched around: "Well, it's really thin." ”

Nalan Lan'er suddenly felt that the emperor's actions were a little ill-intentioned, and buried her face in Ye Wushuang's chest.

She asked faintly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is from the mountain village. ”

Ye Wushuang smiled: "You are Nalan Lan'er, my wife, it doesn't matter where you come from." It's already marked by me. If you're hungry, eat first. ”

With this sentence, the previous sense of dazness disappeared without a trace, as long as you remember that her name is Nalan Lan'er, and she is the identity of Ye Wushuang's wife.

After eating a lunch in a harmonious atmosphere, Ye Wushuang hugged Nalan Lan'er for a nap.

When Nalan Lan'er woke up again, the emperor's figure had disappeared, and Wan'er was guarding her.

It was almost close to the afternoon, Nalan Lan'er woke up, took the flower tea handed over by Wan'er and said, "Have you seen Xiaohong, ask her to come in, I have something to ask her." ”

Wan'er replied: "The slave didn't see Xiaohong, so let's go and take a look." ”

Nalan Lan'er hummed and drank tea slowly. "It's time to talk to Xiaohong about waiting by her side."

Wan'er had already gone out, so naturally she didn't hear her words, and she didn't find Xiaohong's figure after walking around outside, so Wan'er rushed back to report to Nalan Lan'er.

Lan'er felt strange: "Didn't anyone see where she went?" ”

Wan'er shook her head: "Niangniang, everyone said they didn't see her." ”

At this moment, a eunuch outside the door asked to see him.

Nalan Lan'er came in, and the eunuch knelt on the ground with a puff before he could stand firmly: "Niangniang, a palace maid in Huayan Palace fell into the lotus pond and drowned!" ”

Nalan Lan'er was taken aback: "Who is it!" ”

The little eunuch replied, "It's the palace maid Xiaohong." ”

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Lan'er couldn't sit still and ran directly to the lotus pond. As she left, a group of eunuchs and maidservants followed. I'm afraid that Nalan Lan'er will fall so fast.

When I came to the lotus pond, I saw a figure floating on the water, and that face was undoubtedly a little red!

When Nalan Lan'er saw it with her own eyes, she already had to believe that this was the truth. Before, she had expected that the eunuch had read it wrong.

At this time, the lotus pond is not yet in bloom, and the large withered leaves, the little red palace maid costume can be seen in the pool.

Absurd, this lotus pond is not particularly deep, and the silt inside is the most taboo when people fall.

And she looked at Xiaohong's legs, and they didn't struggle to get covered with mud. She quickly asked the maid to retrieve the body, and instructed the other palace maids to find the imperial doctor.

Some eunuchs said on the side: "Niangniang, I am afraid that what is generally floating on the water is ...... I'm afraid I'm out of breath, and it's too late to call the doctor. ”

Nalan Lan'er didn't answer the eunuch's words, she didn't believe that Xiaohong would come to this lotus pond that had not yet bloomed, and then fell into it and drowned.

When the body was recovered, the imperial doctor also arrived in a hurry.

Nalan Lan'er looked at Xiaohong's pale face and closed eyes, and her heart was uncomfortable.

"Imperial Doctor, please take a look at whether this palace maid is drowning." Nalan Lan'er said in a choked voice, turned back to the eunuchs who went into the water to fish for corpses, and said, "You go and change your clothes first." ”

The Imperial Doctor carefully examined it, stood up and walked to the lotus pond not far away, and replied respectfully: "Niangniang, this palace maid was thrown into the lotus pond after suffocation, with bruises on her neck, and a clean mouth and nose, indicating that she was ...... before falling into the pool Breathless. ”

Hearing this answer, Nalan Lan'er was also expected, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and thanked the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to say anything when she saw that she was in a bad mood, so she retired and left.

Nalan Lan'er carefully filtered everyone, but could not find a reason to kill Xiaohong.

She has always been very low-key and inconspicuous, and she was named by her yesterday to go outside the palace together, and she was persecuted when she came back.

Thinking of her happy appearance, how she didn't sleep all night, she finally found the way she ran over, and said goodbye to her family reluctantly.

Just a few hours, a nap time, a life passed away.

Before entering the palace gate, she also instructed her.

But before she could say anything, she left.

Restraining her emotions, Nalan Lan'er instructed the others to wrap Xiaohong's corpse, and went to the imperial study to ask for another trip out of the palace.

Ye Wushuang felt strange, Nalan Lan'er's eyes also looked red, and after careful questioning, she learned that a maid in the palace had stumbled and fell into the lotus pond and drowned.

"Lan'er, just leave this kind of thing to your father-in-law, you just came back tired and panicked, wouldn't it be a toss to run again?"

Ye Wushuang is a member of the royal family in the end, although he can't bear and helpless about this kind of life that is lost from time to time, as long as Lan'er doesn't have an accident, in his eyes, he is a little palace maid, and it is not worth Nalan Lan'er's galloping.

Nalan Lan'er wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaohong is the palace maid in my palace, she ...... If something happens, Lan'er, as the master, should give an explanation to her family in person. Otherwise, Lan'er was uneasy. ”
