The ugly child is not chaotic in the face of danger, as early as when she was in Hefu, she had already learned the things in the Jiangnan area thoroughly.

Lan Ruo's eyes were gloomy, and she didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and the palm of the ugly child was drenched with fine sweat, but on the surface, she was not shocked.

Qiao'er thought about this, and already knew Lan Ruo's intentions, Prime Minister Lan said that there was an old person in the palace of Mu Wangfu, and the queen ran to the Qiulu Palace to question Chou'er, it is self-evident who the suspected person is.

Looking at it from Qiao'er's angle, he only saw the brilliance reflected on the delicate mask of the ugly child, and he couldn't see anything else.

Lan Ruo said again: "Ugly, where is your ancestral hometown?" ”

The sweat on Chou'er's hands became more and more fine, and it seemed that Lan Ruo doubted his identity, so he came to question in every way, and Chou'er said: "The slave maid is from Jiangnan, and she has served by the little master's side since she was a child. ”

Lan Ruo sighed and looked at Lianxin, Lianxin nodded, as if moved and grateful: "Chou'er is right, she has served by my side since she was a child, and it is precisely because of Chou'er that the concubine can save her appearance from that fire, but Chou'er she-"

Chou'er shook her head and said with a smile, "What did Miss say about this?" Chou'er has been lonely since she was a child, and the old lady still takes in the slave maid, and the slave and maid naturally have to protect the young lady. ”

Lan Ruo's slender hand kept rubbing the sunken wooden chair under his hand, and said with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Okay, this palace is just so casual to ask, I didn't come to see you to stage a drama of deep love between master and servant——"

The smile on Lianxin's face froze, Rao is she could also detect the strangeness in this, but she has always been extremely smart, and she hurriedly tried the tears in the corners of her eyes and said: "Look at the concubine, when you think of the past, you can't hold it like this, so that the queen mother can laugh." ”

Lan Ruo got up slowly, and said as if he was tired: "This palace is okay to come and see, I heard that Your Majesty told Bai Cairen to send some things, it seems that Your Majesty is not angry with you anymore, but in this harem, what should be done and what not to do, I hope you can have a definition in your heart, if there is another similar thing, even if Your Majesty favors you, this palace will not spare you for the sake of the royal family." ”

Lan Ruo walked towards Lianxin step by step, Lianxin hurriedly knelt on the ground, fell to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The concubine respectfully obeys the queen's will." ”

Lan Ruo lowered her eyes and looked at the lotus heart lying on the ground, a contemptuous smile rose at the corner of her lips, and her skirt swung like a green willow supporting the wind, and then turned to leave.

After Lan Ruo left, Lianxin and the others sat on the ground for a long time, the cold bluestone floor exuded a trace of coolness through firmness, and the ugly child's expression was complicated, Ruyi was the first to react, and said in a deep voice: "What does the queen mean by this?" ”

There was nothingness in the ugly child's voice, like a cloud of smoke on the ground: "She's doubting my identity—"

Yes, the queen is just doubting the identity of the ugly child, if it weren't for that, today's queen's spearhead would be pointed at Lianxin, not her little maid.

"Identity? Ugly, do you have something to hide from the little master? Lian Xin was also anxious, grabbing Chou'er's arm, the force was a little stronger, Chou'er frowned unconsciously, and the pain pulled her back from her thoughts.

Lianxin and Ruyi were both people sent by Tuoba Yue, at that time, in order to prevent people from talking too much, the true identities of He Xi and Chou'er were only known to Tuoba Yue and Gao Yuan, even if it was Xiao Nai, they had only seen it before He Xi entered the palace.

Thinking of this, Chou'er smiled reluctantly: "Naturally, she suspects that I am not from Hefu, but fortunately, she does not suspect the identity of the little master, as for me-"

Before the words fell, they heard the footsteps outside the door, and the nerves of several people instantly tensed, and several people quickly stood up, and saw Qiao'er who had gone and returned appeared outside the door, with a smile on her face, and said loudly: "Ugly girl, Niang Niang has just left, and she is still talking about Jiangnan affairs, thinking about it, I still want to invite Ugly Girl to go to Weiyang Palace to stay for a few days and solve the queen's doubts." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "How can this be, there can't be no one around the little lord to serve, the queen wants to find someone in Jiangnan, just inform the Internal Affairs Office, ugly her——"

She was in a hurry, and she was much more impatient when she spoke, but Qiao'er, who still had a smile on her face, sank her face in an instant, and scolded angrily: "Bold, what does the queen want to do, do you want you to be a little palace maid to point fingers?" I don't think you're going to die-"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and beckoned to Ruyi's face, but her wrist stopped in mid-air, and she lowered her eyes to see a hand with red marks intertwined restraining herself.

"Sister Qiao'er is angry, Ruyi doesn't mean that. Since the queen has taken a fancy to the slave maid, it is not a matter of fact that the slave maid has been gone for three or two days, but the slave maid has some things to explain to Ruyi, can I wait for a while? ”

She smiled cutely, Qiao'er expected that in such a short time, there would be no trouble, so she waved away the ugly child's hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I will answer you, I will wait for you outside the door, and after half an hour, I will return to Weiyang Palace." ”

The ugly child nodded, which was regarded as a thanks.

Closing the door, Ruyi roared and took the ugly child's hand and said eagerly: "Since the queen doubts your identity, I'm afraid that it won't be peaceful to go, and I can't go-"

The ugly child sat on the bed in a daze, a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, and said comfortingly: "She is just suspicious, so she only came to test today, if I don't give her any clues, even if she is the queen's mother, she can't do anything with me, rest assured, presumably in the next few days, the little master will come back, we can't cause any incident." ”

Ruyi seemed to perceive the understatement in the ugly child's words, she shook her head desperately, her eyes were red and said: "No, I'll go and ask the queen mother, what she said left and right is just to find a Jiangnan person, my ancestral home is also Jiangnan, I'll go, you stay and wait for the little master——"

Saying that, she was about to go out, Chou'er hurriedly stood up, took Ruyi's hand, the tip of her nose was a little sour, she held back her tears, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Ruyi, I know that you are for my good, but this matter, after all, I have to live alone, and none of you can help." ”

Lianxin stood aside, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, I will go and ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely listen, or ugly, and the map, you go from the secret room, walk far-"

The ugly child hurriedly said: "Don't do it, seeing that the little lord is back, if something happens at this time, it will ruin the big things of the little lord and the prince, besides, your disguise, go to see Your Majesty in the blue sky and daytime, and you can't rule out the possibility of being recognized, these are not good." ”

Ruyi became more and more anxious in her heart, and she said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can you just watch you die?" ”

The tears in his eyes couldn't hold back anymore, and they fell in a flutter, and the ugly child reached out to help Ruyi brush it away, and said softly: "Okay, don't worry, I will protect myself, the little master will come back, if I haven't come back, the little master will naturally have a way." ”

Outside the door, Qiao'er was already urging impatiently, and Chou'er quickly packed up a few clothes that she often wears, thought about it, and ripped off a purse from her waist and put it next to her makeup.

The purse was embroidered by herself before, and it was embroidered with flowers in the four seasons, but only in summer and winter, and she took this opportunity to remind herself from time to time, not to lose her heart in this chaotic battle.

When he went out, Chou'er suddenly turned around and said, "Ruyi, the little master has been handed over to you to take care of." You—be careful in everything—"

Qiao'er thought that she was just not worried about Ruyi's person, so she didn't think much about it, but Ruyi heard the almost goodbye meaning in Chou'er's words.

She saw Chou'er staring at herself, bit her lip, nodded vigorously, Ruyi looked at Chou'er's distant back, as if she recalled it many years later, she still remembered it vividly, so cold and lonely, like a plum that is not afraid of frost in winter.

After the two left, Ruyi hurriedly returned to the house, Lianxin looked at Ruyi lying on the desk, writing something, and said, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Ruyi didn't raise her head, the speed of the pen has not decreased, Xu is writing faster, it was a little messy, she said: "Wait, wait for the little master to come back, the prince is not in Beijing now, no one can help us, I will go out to deliver the letter immediately, thinking that the little master will be able to return to Beijing in a few days, I hope that the ugly child will be fine." ”

It was already a day later when He Xi received the news from the palace, and when he saw Ruyi's handwriting, He Xi just felt as if the blood in his whole body had coagulated and stopped flowing. ”

He Xi's fingertips were trembling slightly, she forced herself to calm down, and said, "How long is there still to be in the capital?" ”

Wang Lang counted the time and said, "I think it's still two days away—"

He Xi shook his head and said, "It's been too long, from now on, we have to hurry and strive to get to Zhaohua Temple before tomorrow evening." ”

Wang Lang was stunned, this was almost impossible, but she saw He Xi turn around and take out the cloak from the carriage, tie it to her shoulders, and say, "Find us two fast horses—"

Wang Lang seemed to understand He Xi's intentions, the speed of riding a horse was much faster than that of a carriage, if he started galloping without sleep from now on, he would not be able to go to Zhaohua Temple before tomorrow evening.

As he spoke, he asked people to go down and prepare a fast horse, He Xi turned over and got on the horse, his movements were chic and neat, his legs clamped the horse's belly fiercely, the horse neighed, raised his front hooves, and galloped away.

From the very beginning, He Xi didn't say a word, what happened to Zhongda in the capital, but Wang Lang vaguely knew in his heart that something big must have happened.
