Chapter 196: Ordered to search

After Ji Lian finished speaking, Old Madam Qin asked a few more questions about the recent affairs in the house, and Ji Lian reported them one by one, but in the end, she looked like she wanted to say something.

Old Madam Qin naturally paid attention, and when she saw Ji Lian like this, her expression changed slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The day before yesterday, someone from Nalu Mansion took back the girl named Lu'er next to the princess." Ji Lian said cautiously.

Old Madam Qin was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and then said, "This Lu Yue ran away from home and went to Feng'er's place, the Lu family is dissatisfied that this is what it should be, just what to do with a girl?" ”

"......" Ji Lian's expression was slightly stunned, as if she remembered something, and her face became a little bad.

"What's wrong with you?" Old Madam Qin's eyes were inexplicable, how could Ji Lian show this expression in such a dignified manner?

Ji Lian's mother hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and whispered in Old Madam Qin's ear.

"What did you say?" Old Madam Qin's voice was shocked and angry, which made several maids in the house stop what they were doing and look at them in surprise.

Old Madam Qin coughed lightly, and Ji Lian's mother immediately understood, and made a few maids retreat.

"You.. What did you just say about Lu Yue? Old Madam Qin's eyes were anxious, and as soon as the maids went out and closed the door, she stared at Ji Lian and asked.

"Lost... Missing. Ji Lian's voice was very low, and she stared at Old Madam Qin carefully, afraid that something would go wrong with this old lady.

"How is that possible? Didn't you say that Lu Yue was following the imperial convoy? Old Madam Qin asked with a look of disbelief.

Seeing that Old Madam Qin was excited, Ji Lian's mother was afraid that something would happen to Old Madam Qin's body, so she quickly reached out and poured a cup of tea and brought it to Old Madam Qin.

"Old lady, don't worry, I heard that something happened on the road." Ji Lian couldn't help but speak.

After hearing this, Old Madam Qin's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she seemed to sigh lightly: "How can this be?" ”

Her eyes seemed to be sad, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old for a while.

"Old lady, don't worry, maybe this is a misinformation." Ji Lian said in her heart: The day before yesterday, the little maid of the Lu Mansion came to pick up the girl from Lu'er, and the little maid of the palace couldn't help but make a couple of jokes, saying that this princess is not coming back? What does this do? As a result, the little guy was immediately angry, pointed at the little guy in the palace and scolded him, said a lot of ugly things, and scolded and left.

At that time, Old Madam Qin happened to suffer a little cold, so Ji Lian did not say it to Old Madam Qin, but went to inquire about the news in the name of Old Madam Qin.

Unexpectedly, the news that came out said that something happened to Lu Yue and his party on the road, and that Princess Lu Yue of Qin was missing.

Ji Lian was so frightened when she heard the words that she didn't dare to come out, and in the end, she kept dragging it out, and only when Old Madam Qin asked it today did she have to say it.

"Is Feng'er's letter here?" Old Madam Qin's sad expression narrowed slightly, and she asked with hope on her face.

"Not yet, I'm afraid it's delayed on the road." Ji Lian's mother's voice gradually quieted down.

For a while, the whole room was quiet, and Mother Ji saw that Old Madam Qin was on the back of the chair, closing her eyes and not speaking.

"Old lady?" Ji Lian couldn't help but whisper, she was really worried about Old Madam Qin's body.

Since the prince went to the disaster relief, Mrs. Qin has no news before, and she has been depressed, sick and sick, lingering on the sickbed. Later, the prince sent a few letters, and the old lady was relieved, but the princess of Qin disappeared again.

Old Madam Qin closed her eyes and waved her hand weakly, and Ji Lian had no choice but to retreat with a worried face.

The door creaked shut, and the corners of Old Madam Qin's closed eyes swept a touch of wetness, she pinched the handkerchief in her hand and wiped it, and exhaled two mouthfuls of stuffy breath pressed on her chest slightly.

After Lu Fu came to make trouble that day, she hurriedly sent a letter to Feng'er and asked Feng'er to send someone to pick up Lu Yue halfway.

Although Lu Yue's behavior is not dignified on weekdays, after all, it is the princess who is marrying the princess of their Qin Palace, how can she be so ruthless?

It's just that Feng'er's letter didn't come right now, but something happened to Lu Yue, it's just that, she can understand the Lu family's behavior, after all, the Lu family only has this one daughter.

Old Madam Qin wiped the traces from the corners of her eyes, her fingers were slightly bent, and she knocked on the table three times, and suddenly there was movement by the window, and in the blink of an eye, a black shadow had already knelt in front of Old Madam Qin.

Old Madam Qin glanced at the kneeling person, and took out a small jade jade plaque from her cuff, looking ordinary, but there was a Qin character engraved on it, and the Qin character was embellished with gilt, with a hint of brilliance.

The jade brand is smooth and smooth, and the edges and corners of the four sides are very smooth, and you can see that it is often touched by people at a glance, and it will become like this.

Old Madam Qin put the jade card on the table, "Go, send a team of people to find the princess." ”

"Yes~" The man bowed, stretched out his hand and took the jade plate and turned to leave.

Old Madam Qin's eyes were deep, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, her hand turned twice on the teacup, and then she got up and went to the Buddhist hall in the inner room.

On the small desk, there is a statue of Guanyin of white jade, and the incense burner is curling.

Old Madam Qin knelt down on the futon on the ground with a reverent expression, she folded her hands together, and said softly in her mouth: "Bodhisattva bless, may the two of you return safely." ”

After a while, the Buddhist hall resounded with the same chanting as before.

The faint smell of incense wafted out of the closed door and drifted farther away.

----

The next day, Lu Yue was wrapped in a pale green coat and a pearl white flower skirt, she was hunched over, kneeling on the low couch with her legs, and lying quietly by the window.

When Taohong came in with a pile of clothes, she saw such a pleasing picture, but she didn't understand, this month's girl is blind, what is she looking at here every day?

She stood on tiptoe and glanced gently at the window, there was nothing special outside.

"Girl, it's windy by the window, be careful to blow sick." Pink persuaded as she put her washed clothes in the cupboard.

Lu Yue continued to look out the window, as if she hadn't heard.

Taohong sighed helplessly, put down her clothes, climbed onto the couch, carefully closed the window, stretched out her hand to help Lu Yue and said, "Girl, the kitchen has made a new peach cake, it tastes good~." ”

Lu Yue listened to the food, so she was willing to move, and was helped by Taohong to sit at the table, holding a cup of hot water and waiting.

Waiting for the peach cake to be brought to her, Lu Yue smelled the fragrance of the peach crisp, and she didn't need the peach to take it for her, so she grabbed two by herself, because her eyes couldn't see, she ate a mouth full of peach crisp dregs on the table.

Peach didn't say much, let Lu Yue eat, seeing Lu Yue eating so happily, Peach couldn't help but teased: "Girl, this peach crisp is delicious, right?" ”

Lu Yue nodded inexplicably.

"This is what the boy specially asked Mother Jin to prepare for you." Pink eyes were starry, and she said with envy.

Suddenly, the look on Lu Yue's face was stunned, and the peach crisp that was fragrant just now in her mouth instantly became tasteless.

Lu Yue swallowed the snacks in her mouth, put half of the snacks on the plate, and listened to Taohong continue to say: "The girl is really happy, she likes such a handsome son, the girl doesn't know, now the sister in the building doesn't envy the girl, hey, it's a pity that the son only comes every two days, if only he could come every day~"

Pink's fingers kept curling the hanging hair, looking like a girl with a spring.

Half loud, I couldn't hear Lu Yue's voice, and when I turned my head, I saw half a peach cake on the plate on the table, and Lu Yue had already groped into the inner room.

"Girl~" didn't listen to her again, and Peach stomped her foot angrily.

Lu Yue had already touched the bed, she kicked her feet, took off her shoes, touched and pulled the thin quilt on the side, and the whole person slowly lay down and wrapped the thin quilt on the side.

The eyes blinked, but unfortunately they still couldn't see, the doctor ran every three days, and the Chinese medicine became more and more difficult to drink, but the eyes did not improve at all.

Lu Yue was anxious and angry in her heart, how could she think about any son now? She reached out and touched her eyes, but she didn't pay attention to the nails that slashed her eyelids, and there was a soreness, so sour that Lu Yue's tears were about to fall.

Lu Yue endured the initial soreness in her eyes, and when the pain subsided slightly, she blinked her eyes twice, and her thick eyelashes were shining with water.

A few drops slipped down and slid into the pillow embroidered with fish and lotus leaves, and disappeared in an instant, Lu Yue covered the quilt and trapped herself in it.

----

The entrance of Chengfu

A sedan chair staggered over, stopped at the door of Chengfu, the little guy respectfully stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and the first to come down was a foot wearing goose yellow lotus branch lotus embroidered shoes, the foot was slightly fat, supporting the entire upper of the shoe towering high.

"Oops~It's really hot~" With this voice, a burst of fragrant powder puffed his nose, so thick that the little girl's nose in front of him couldn't help but move, and he almost sneezed.

He quickly held his breath and stepped back.

Mother Jin just walked out of the sedan door, and saw that Mother Jin was wearing a brightly colored pomegranate skirt, with heavy makeup on her face, and several golden hairpins on her head, looking quite arrogant.

She glanced at the little guy who had taken a few steps back with great dissatisfaction, waving her handkerchief in her hand.

Seeing this, the little girl smiled again and again: "Mother Jin, please~"

"Hmph~" Mother Jin snorted coldly, picked up her skirt and entered the Cheng Mansion.

Mother Jin was led to the flower hall by the little maid, and as soon as she stepped in with her front foot, her eyes swept to Cheng Yuan, who was sitting on the upper seat with a calm face.

Mother Jin's expression changed, this Cheng Yuan is really persistent with the blind man, and now looking at her face, I am afraid that she will not be able to be good today.

She pretended not to see the displeasure on Cheng Yuanwai's face, walked over a few steps, smiled and greeted Cheng Yuanwai a few words, and then cut to the chase, "I don't know what happened today, Cheng Yuanwai invited me to come over to the house?" ”

Cheng Yuanwai no longer hidden, his eyes were heavy, he stared at Mother Jin and said, "I want Miss Yue'er." ”

The smile on Mother Jin's mouth froze, but this Cheng Yuan had a big tone, why didn't he mention the son who was eyeing him?

She laughed a few times, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "You know, it's not that I don't give you this Yue'er girl, it's just that that the son looks hard to deal with." ”

In the latter half of the sentence, Mother Jin said in a very low voice, hoping that this Cheng staff member can also understand her difficulties.

"How is that childe? It's just a defenseless rich man, and if that son had fallen in love with someone, he would have asked you for someone a long time ago, so why not have a letter for so many days, just a few more glances at freshness. Cheng Yuanwai stood up suddenly and said sharply.
