Xu Mianmian came back to her senses and lowered the curtain, "I'm sorry to trouble you to hurry up." ”

"Okay, girl, you're steady." The coachman replied loudly, the mountain road was rugged, and Xu Mianmian had to hold on to the window frame to stabilize his body.

I don't know if it's because the carriage is too bumpy, Xu Mianmian always feels a little flustered.

The scenery outside the window flashed through the shaking curtains, and Xu Mianmian faintly smelled some fireworks.

The carriage stopped suddenly, Xu Mianmian staggered forward, and the smell of fireworks became stronger.

"Girl, no! Wuling Village is on fire! ”

"What?" Xu Mianmian lifted the curtain and poked her head out to look out, the red firelight jumping on the burnt black wooden beams, billowing smoke rising from the ruins, and the once quiet and peaceful village became purgatory.

"How could it be ......?"

Xu Mianmian's fingers clenched tightly, jumped out of the carriage with the corner of her skirt, and hurried to Grandma Sun's house, the coachman hesitated for a moment and followed.

"Girl, slow down, this fire is still burning, don't be impulsive."

"Ahem." The smoke rushed into his nose, and Xu Mianmian coughed non-stop, but what was more uncomfortable was not the body, but the charred and blackened corpses that he vaguely saw along the way, as well as mottled bloodstains.

"Grandma Sun! Grandma Sun! Xu Mianmian shouted as she picked up the fallen wooden stick on the side and slammed it against the door.

With a bang, the door panel fell with sparks, Xu Mianmian wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the coachman.

"Oh no, girl, how can you get in, most of the houses in Wuling Village are made of wood and straw, I don't know what it will look like, if this grass house collapses, what can I do in this business."

Hearing this, Xu Mianmian's footsteps paused for a moment, and then thought of Grandma Sun's peaceful face, and rushed in again.

"Granny Sun!"

"Girl!"

The coachman stomped his foot outside the door and spatted twice, "I shouldn't have taken such an order today." The words fell, and he ran in.

The sun is shining outside the house, the fireworks are in full swing in the house, Xu Mianmian is not wearing thick, but at this time there is a fine sweat, Grandma Sun's house is not big, there are three rooms and a kitchen, Xu Mianmian and the coachman acted separately, and they were stunned that they did not find Grandma Sun.

"Girl, your mother-in-law has a big life, maybe she went out because of something, and she happened to escape this catastrophe."

Is that so? Xu Mianmian calmed down, always felt that something was wrong, but the coachman had already gone to the carriage, the horse was startled by the open fire in the village, and had been walking around uneasily, Xu Mianmian lowered his head and walked out of the carriage, but he saw a piece of cloth hanging on broken wood.

！

The cloth must have been hung down from wood, and the small pieces hung on it, and there were some mottled blood stains nearby, as if someone had run by in a hurry and accidentally tripped over the debris, and the corners of his clothes hung on the broken wood.

What caught Xu Mianmian's attention was that although Wuling Village was not particularly poor, most of the villagers' clothes were mainly coarse linen clothes, which were ......

Xu Mianmian's eyes cooled, carefully removed the strips of cloth and broken wood, and after confirming that there was no one in the village with the coachman, he rushed back to Beijing.

"Girl, let's go report to the official, shall we? It's too weird. ”

The coachman stopped his horse and watched Xu Mianmian come out, and said with palpitations.

Xu Mianmian thought sideways, "Then it's troublesome uncle, the little woman still has something to do, you can take these taels of silver, and I haven't seen the little woman the next day." ”

Xu Mianmian made a generous hand, the coachman was startled, and he shook his hand and didn't dare to take it, "No, no, no, the girl has already paid for the car, and I didn't do anything together, the girl doesn't have to be like this." ”

The two refused, and the coachman saw that Xu Mianmian had a firm attitude, and he expected that he would not accept it, but he was afraid that the girl would not believe in him, so he accepted it with a wry smile.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Xu Mianmian: "The girl is chivalrous, but after all, she is still a daughter, so be careful in everything." ”

Xu Mianmian's heart warmed, and her brows, which had been frowning for two days, finally disappeared a little, "Eh, thank you, uncle." ”

The words fell, the two separated, the coachman went to report to the official, Xu Mianmian wanted to go to see Wei Xiao, but it had been some time since he came out today, and he was afraid that there would be some trouble in the palace, so he had to change into the palace maid's clothes and go back to the palace.

……

Today, there are many more guards at the palace gate for some reason, Xu Mianmian pinched her fingers, stepped on the lotus step and pretended to walk calmly to the palace, when she passed the guards, she half-bent down, held the palace card in front of her with both hands, and slowly walked in front of the guards with a smooth breath.

One row, two rows......

Xu Mianmian secretly exhaled, and was about to put away the palace card, but heard a voice, "Stop!" ”

Xu Mianmian's back froze, and the voice ......

The guards on the side shouted in unison, "Master Shi." ”

"Yes." Shi Haoyan seemed to have just come out of the palace, so he happened to bump into Xu Mianmian who was about to enter the palace, and fortunately, Xu Mianmian had been bending down with his head down since he entered the palace gate, otherwise he was afraid that he would not have to come face-to-face to greet him.

If she was wearing the princess's mansion and saw Shi Haoyan at this time, she would have ignored it and walked over directly, but now that she was wearing a green palace maid's dress, she didn't know if Shi Haoyan recognized her or what.

If you are recognized......

The emperor knew that the punishment was small, after all, she only stole out of the palace once, and the emperor naturally wouldn't do anything to his daughter because of this little thing, but if Shi Haoyan found out that she went to Wuling Village......

Xu Mianmian tightened her sleeves, and even if she revealed her identity, she couldn't let Shi Haoyan discover the strip of cloth hidden on her body.

Shi Haoyan raised his hand to order the attendant to stop, and walked towards Xu Mianmian by himself, and he felt that the figure of this palace maid was a little familiar from a long distance, and the closer he got to it, the more familiar he felt, thinking like this, he said: "Raise your head." ”

Xu Mianmian bit her lower lip, and was about to raise her head when she heard the voice of someone who should not be here at this time.

"Green Warp."

Wei Gongzi?!

Xu Mianmian didn't dare to raise her head, lowered her head and walked quickly to him, and waited until Wei Xiao's familiar figure was in front of her before letting go of her tense heart.

How could Wei Gongzi be here?

Xu Mianmian wanted to say to him, such as the fire in Wuling Village, such as the people in Wuling Village who were gone, such as the blood stains remaining on the ground in Wuling Village, such as the strip of cloth that did not belong to Wuling Village.

But apparently now is not a good time.

Wei Xiao glanced at her lightly, Xu Mianmian didn't know if he recognized him, or if he only regarded himself as Lu Qiao, so he didn't dare to say a word or make a small move.

Shi Haoyan stopped at Xu Mianmian's position just now, looked at Wei Xiao and Xu Mianmian with an unhappy face, and his voice was a little cold.

"Lord Wei's body is quite handsome, and he can still be a hero in front of the palace maids after kneeling in front of the palace all morning."

"Thank you Lord Shi for your concern." Wei Xiao didn't give in: "If Wei Xiao is compared to a hero who saves beauty, doesn't Master Shi think he is a villain?" ”

"You!"

The man in green and satin on Shi Haoyan's side hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Shi Haoyan's arm as if he was appeased, and Shi Haoyan withdrew his finger pointing at Wei Xiao.
