In the Ciyuan Palace, Yu Ziran was slowly peeling walnut kernels with a walnut clip, putting them into a small plate piece by piece, and then brought the small plate to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, eat some walnut kernels." ”

The Queen Mother is old, and she relies on Yu Ziran to accompany her in the palace all the year round to relieve her boredom, so she likes her very much, so she took it with a smile and said, "You also take a break, you have been peeling for so long, you should be tired." ”

Yu Ziran raised his arm to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and smiled: "Queen Mother, Ziran is not tired, Queen Mother should taste it quickly......"

As he spoke, his body fell to the side and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Zi Ran, Zi Ran......" The Queen Mother was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on, come on......"

Several little palace maids helped Yu Ziran to the small couch, the Queen Mother shook her body and called twice, only to see that Yu Ziran still had her eyes closed, and the Queen Mother was a little flustered, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor." ”

The little palace maid hurriedly ran out, and after a while, she walked in with a medicine box on her back.

"The old minister sees the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Come and take a look, this kid suddenly fainted while talking." ”

The imperial physician immediately stepped forward and gave Yu Ziran a pulse, the strange thing is that Yu Ziran's pulse is peaceful, not strange, the imperial doctor has some doubts in his heart, but he walks in the palace all the year round, and naturally has his own set of survival rules, after thinking about it carefully, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand and arched his hand towards the queen mother: "If you go back to the queen mother, the county lord Ziran is fine, but his body is weak and needs to recuperate." ”

If you are so ambiguous, it is not easy to offend people, and the imperial doctor has been in the palace for so many years, so he naturally knows this well.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You go and prescribe some nourishing prescriptions."

The Imperial Physician bowed his head and retreated.

The Queen Mother walked to Yu Ziran's side, looking at Yu Ziran's closed eyes and pale face, she felt a little distressed, this Ziran grew up by herself, she was well-behaved, her personality was also docile, she was very likable, and she was the main one to marry her to her grandson.

Just thinking of this, Yu Ziran on the bed frowned, and shouted in a low voice, the Queen Mother was puzzled, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Ziran, are you awake?" ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Yu Ziran continued to murmur, "The prince ...... the world."

The Queen Mother heard it clearly, and couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart, this Zi Ran likes Yun'er's child in her heart, but I heard that at the last chrysanthemum banquet, Zi Ran and Yun'er had an unpleasant quarrel, this child, is it still remembering what happened last time?

The Queen Mother thought about it, stretched out her hand and patted Yu Ziran gently, and whispered: "Zi Ran, Zi Ran wake up, wake up......"

Yu Ziran slowly opened her eyes, and saw that it was the Queen Mother in front of her, her face was shocked, and she hurriedly prepared to sit up, but the Queen Mother pressed her body that wanted to sit up, and said softly: "The Imperial Doctor said that your body is weak, so you should lie down." ”

Yu Ziran lay down anxiously, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother, I'm causing you trouble." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Yu Ziran's cautious appearance in front of her, felt a little distressed, patted her hand and said: "Ziran, the mourning family knows that you like Yun'er, if it is according to the wishes of the mourning family, I am naturally willing to let you be my granddaughter-in-law, but Yun'er, the child, actually went to the emperor and rejected the meaning of the mourning family, you also know that he is such a stubborn character, don't be too sad, there is a mourning family for you to decide, in addition to Yun'er, there are many good men in our Great Northern Kingdom." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say that the eldest grandson Yun personally refused the marriage in front of the emperor, Yu Ziran only felt more uncomfortable in his heart, in the eyes of the eldest grandson Yun, is he really worthless, and he will not hesitate to disobey the queen mother's will to dissociate himself from himself?

Thinking about it, Yu Ziran's face revealed an unconcealable sense of loss, and his long eyelashes hung down, with a little teardrop.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she couldn't bear it in her heart, thinking that Yu Ziran was still obsessed with Yun'er when she was in a coma just now, and she couldn't help but sigh that it was really impermanent.

Yu Ziran lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother with watery eyes and said: "Queen Mother, Ziran knows that she has no talent and no virtue, and she is not worthy of the world, but Ziran is a person of flesh and blood and feelings, Ziran wants to know why the prince wants to reject me, Ziran really wants to understand." ”

As he spoke, he cried low on the silk pillow on the side as if he couldn't bear it anymore, the Queen Mother was a little sad in her heart, and when she saw Yu Ziran's heartbroken look, she couldn't bear it, and said: "Okay, I'll summon him to the palace, and you can ask him face to face." ”

Yu Ziran raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother with tears in his eyes, "Ziran thanked the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, "You are so rested, Yun'er will come in a while." ”

Seeing the Queen Mother walk out, Yu Ziran sat up, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the Dingxi Palace, the eldest grandson Yun was lying in front of the table to practice calligraphy, when he heard a sound at the door, and looked up to see that it was his attendant Yuankang.

"What's the matter?" Eldest Sun Yun frowned, "Don't you know that I hate it most when others disturb me while I'm learning calligraphy?" ”

Yuankang has been with the eldest grandson Yun for more than ten years, it is a love since childhood, how can he not know this, after listening to the words of the eldest grandson, Yuankang hurriedly bowed his head and said: "If you return to the prince, it is a letter from the palace, saying that the queen mother announced that you will go to the palace, the sooner the better." ”

"Oh?" Eldest Sun Yun raised his head, put down the pen in his hand and said, "Didn't you say what it was?" ”

Yuankang shook his head, and Eldest Sun Yun thought for a while, then said, "Change clothes!" ”

Before entering the palace, you must wear formal clothes, and after the eldest grandson Yun was dressed neatly, he got up and got into the carriage from the palace and walked to the palace.

Xia Mengning made a decision, and sent Zhu Lian to Yong'an Hall early in the morning to reply, and was having breakfast, when she saw Zhu Lian walk into the house, and said, "Miss, the master agreed, and sent a few nurses to follow." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and hurriedly finished drinking the porridge, she knew that Wu Qing would spread the matter of going to Jingming Temple to pray for blessings today, and the Ning family would naturally wait for the opportunity to move, thinking of this, Xia Mengning felt a little nervous in her heart, I don't know if today's matter will be successful, but no matter what, I must go.

After finishing the meal, Xia Mengning instructed Zhulian to pack up her things, sat in front of the Linghua bronze mirror and looked behind her and said, "Zhulian, you stay in the house and decoct the medicine for your aunt, I'll just take Jiu'er there." ”

Zhu Lian nodded and asked, "Miss, do you want to bring a cloak?" ”

Xia Mengning looked out the window and said, "It's okay, it's late autumn, and the wind will be stronger on the mountain," and asked, "Jiu'er, where did you put the azure cloak I wore last time?" ”

Jiu'er, who was combing Xia Mengning's hair bun behind her, was stunned when she heard this, and said quickly: "Back to Miss, the slave maid packed the box and put it in the north. ”

Xia Mengning nodded, catching the panic that flashed in Jiu'er's eyes from the mirror.

After cleaning up, Xia Mengning got up and walked out of the house with Jiu'er and walked out of the gate.

In the garden, Mother Wang whispered a few words to Ning with a happy face, and after speaking, Ning's face was excited, "Really, Xia Mengning really wants to go to Jingming Temple to pray for blessings today?" ”

Mother Wang nodded, and Ning smiled: "It seems that this God is also helping us, Xia Mengning, a stinky girl, dares to go against me, and I will let her not see the sun tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Ning Shi asked uneasily: "Are those people reliable?" Will it be unreliable? ”

Mother Wang poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Auntie, don't worry, the people of the Yan clan all take money to do things, as long as the money arrives, they will naturally complete the task." ”

Hearing what Wang's mother said, Ning was relieved, looked at the scenery outside the window blankly, and prayed silently.

Xia Mengning sat in the carriage and swayed with her eyes closed, and after a while, there was no movement in her ears, and then she opened her eyes and said, "Jiu'er, where are we going?" ”

Jiu'er lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said, "Miss, this is at the foot of the mountain." ”

Xia Mengning looked out along the sedan curtain and smiled: "In late autumn, it is also excellent to take a walk on this mountain road and enjoy the fallen leaves. ”

Jiu'er nodded and said, "If Miss likes it, the slave maid will accompany Miss when we go down the mountain." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, seeing that the carriage had stopped in a secluded place at the foot of the mountain, looking out, it was a steep mountain road, and there would be people here to rest on weekdays, but today there was only a faint fog, and there was no one.

The carriage traveled for a while, and gradually stopped.

"Miss, let's get out of the carriage." Jiu'er said that, Bendang got out of the carriage first, pulled Xia Mengning by the hand, and walked down.

The morning air was exceptionally fresh, Xia Mengning took a deep breath and quickly observed the surrounding environment.

What a great place to kill people and throw corpses! Xia Mengning said secretly, he had been to Jingming Temple a few times, but he couldn't find this place, a few steps forward, there was a steep cliff, Xia Mengning smiled secretly in his heart, but he was not nervous at all.

"Miss, let's go up." Jiu'er urged on the side.

Xia Mengning was not in a hurry at all, but slowly turned around and asked: "Jiu'er, look at the maple trees in this mountain, red and yellow, it is really a very beautiful scenery, the last time you came to Shangxiang, you also said that when you wait for autumn, it must be very beautiful here, why are you here now, but you don't want to appreciate it at all?" ”

When Xia Mengning spoke, she looked at the scenery on the mountain, her eyes slightly curved.

Jiu'er sighed in her heart, and then smiled: "Isn't the slave afraid of missing the young lady's time, so she didn't look carefully." ”

Hearing this, Xia Mengning turned around with a smile and looked at Jiu'er in front of her fixedly, Jiu'er was looked a little strange, and pretended to smile and said, "Why does Miss look at the slave like this, is there anything on the slave's face?" ”

Xia Mengning shook his head, but said word by word: "Jiu'er has never accompanied me here to offer incense, nor has she ever said these words. ”

After saying a word, Jiu'er in front of him changed his face, and after a while, he smiled again and said, "Miss Xia is so perceptive, she is ashamed of herself." ”

Xia Mengning drew the soft sword on her waist almost instantly, and landed firmly on the neck of 'Jiu'er', her voice was not as gentle as just now, "Say, where did you hide Jiu'er?" ”

'Jiu'er' just exhaled softly, and just wanted to move, the skin was cut by the sword on his neck, 'Jiu'er' smiled and said, "Why should Miss Xia do this, you should know that no one will be interested in a girl, she is safe now, it just depends on whether Miss Xia can do things?" ”

At this moment, many black-clothed people suddenly popped out of the two of them at the same time, Xia Mengning turned her head, and looked slightly, there were fifty or sixty people, "The Ning clan is willing to give silver, I guess, the killers of the Yan clan all cost a few hundred taels of silver, and the Ning clan must have given you a deposit first, thinking that you would definitely be able to kill me, and then she could advance more silver from the account room to make up for the loopholes." ”

Xia Mengning's low voice made the man in black a little surprised, how could such a little girl be so calm and calm.

At this time, the 'Jiu'er' behind him had already taken the opportunity to run away, Xia Mengning was holding a soft sword in his hand, and his eyes were disdainful, "Do you want to come one by one, or do you want to go together?" ”

The mocking eyes immediately angered the people in black, they were all members of the number one killer organization in the world, how could they be despised by a teenage girl, thinking of this, a man in black rushed forward, and the sword was so fast that it only took a short moment to reach Xia Mengning's eyes.

Xia Mengning pursed her lips, the soft sword was withdrawn from her waist, and she retreated slightly, and then retreated a few steps away, the man in black was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the teenage girl in front of him was so good, but then he saw the ridicule in Xia Mengning's eyes, and immediately raised his sword and rushed straight to Xia Mengning's face.

Xia Mengning did not dodge, and secretly lifted his strength on his left palm, facing the oncoming man in black.

The man in black didn't expect Xia Mengning to catch his sword with his bare hands, and just as he was about to exert his strength, he felt that his hands seemed to be firmly controlled, the sword in his hand was broken off one by one, and the hand of the person in front of him stretched out towards him and grabbed his neck.

Everyone was a little surprised, only to see Xia Mengning's eyes narrowed slightly, his left hand firmly pinched the neck of the man in black, but he still had a silent smile on his face, and the whole person exuded a powerful aura.

"The killer of the Yan Clan, but Er'er." Xia Mengning chuckled, her left hand instantly exerted force, only to hear a 'squeak', and the head of the man in black turned to the side, lifeless.

He actually broke the man's neck alive!

All the people in black were a little surprised that such a little woman raised in the deep boudoir could kill people without blinking, and it only took half a move to capture her companion.

Xia Mengning smiled, "You guys don't deserve to dirty my sword." As he spoke, he looked at the figure who was coming quickly in the distance, and smiled: "Next, naturally someone will play with you." ”

Before the people in black noticed, they felt a murderous aura coming from behind, and they saw four masked men in black rushing with swords, and when they saw Xia Mengning, they gave up their hands: "It's too late, I hope Miss forgive me." ”

Xia Mengning lightly opened her lips, "Leave a few living mouths." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of weapons colliding came, and Xia Mengning stepped aside and leisurely enjoyed the performance.
