It was already afternoon when Jiang Mengyun returned to the palace from Prince Li's mansion, although it slowed down for some time, Empress Xue didn't say anything, only told her to pay attention next time and let her go back to the house.

On the way out, Peony had said a lot, but she was extremely silent on the way back.

Jiang Mengyun didn't care, and when he entered the house to rest, the peony followed closely as usual, not leaving an inch.

Because of this trip, she obviously watched more closely than before. Before, I remembered that I was just a sprinkler and sweeper, and even if I was close to the surveillance, I would pretend to be with a rag broom.

But at this moment, she didn't know what to think in her heart, and she even forgot to pretend.

Jiang Mengyun first sat down and poured a cup of tea, drank two sips and then got up, hung the new girder street scene picture given by King Qi on the wall of the inner room, and finally picked up the original "family heirloom" and sat at the table to take a closer look.

As a result, when she raised her eyes, Peony was still standing beside her, looking like she was going to stand until she was old.

With a low cough, Jiang Mengyun turned her head and asked her with doubts, "Are you still in trouble?" ”

Empress Xue was both a stander and a stander, although she didn't trust her, she didn't want to tear her face, so she sent a rough palace maid like Peony to be her eyes.

These eyes pretend to be like that on weekdays, and Jiang Mengyun is naturally happy to cooperate.

But now she seems to be a little stimulated and can't pretend to be a little there, so she has to take the initiative to give the other party a little reminder.

Peony was really stunned, and let out an "ah" as if she was a little frightened, and then quickly shook her head and said, "No ......"

Halfway through the sentence, he felt that something was wrong, and glanced down at the desk, and the next moment the speed of speech became faster than usual: "Just look at the fact that there is still some gray on this table, why did the girl put the painting on it, and the slave maid went to get a cloth to wipe it for you." ”

After she finished speaking, she was visibly relieved.

Jiang Mengyun also smiled at the corner of her mouth, as long as she was willing to pretend, then everything would be easy to say, she nodded and responded: "Okay, then wipe it." ”

Peony quickly retreated, and soon came back, and struggled to wipe the already unstained table top three or four times, and then left satisfied, and did not know where it went.

Jiang Mengyun didn't care, just waited for the room to be completely clean, and then sat at the table and took a good look at the street scene of Ningguo Kyoto.

The scene is familiar.

She was deeply impressed by the xiaolongbao shop on the street in the picture, because in the past, whenever she went out dressed as a man, she always had to go there to buy two to try.

The steamed buns made by the boss are a must, the fresh meat is chopped into a filling, and the crab meat is added with condiments, which is extremely delicious. The price is naturally not cheap, and you can buy two for ten copper coins.

She still remembers the first time she went, and when people looked at her dressed as a rich boy and wanted to knock on the competition to sell it so expensive, where would she be willing to suffer this loss, and in the end, the boss didn't mention the money to her, and directly packaged it for her.

Later, when she went again, she already knew the price of the bun, so she didn't mess around anymore.

Jiang Mengyun frowned, the young man in this painting looked clear and beautiful, and his expression was proud......

She jerked to her feet.

Walking quickly to the dresser, Jiang Mengyun picked up the mirror, the woman in the mirror has picturesque eyebrows, slender eyebrows, a small nose bridge, red lips and a smile, and her eyes are gentle like water when she looks at people, like a small porcelain doll without a temper.

This is who she is now.

What was she like in the past?

The next moment, Jiang Mengyun slowly closed the deliberate smile on the corner of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, her eyes were a little playful and sharp, imagining the situation when she took the bun after bargaining with the boss for the first time, she let out a "ha" sound, and froze for a moment.

Dropping the mirror, she jumped back to the table to look at the painting again, and the young man was no one else, it was clearly herself.

King Qi really knew her for a long time!

Jiang Mengyun's mind was rarely a little confused, but it only took a moment to regain his composure. The boy is her, and who is the other person wearing a mask in the painting?

It's not that there are no people dressed up like this, but there aren't many of them, at least Jiang Mengyun has only seen one in his life so far.

The man was ragged and covered in wounds, and he was hunted down and killed very badly, unlike the brightly dressed masked man in this painting.

If it weren't for the fact that their brother and sister happened to meet and help, I'm afraid the living would have become dead.

At that time, in order to save him, the second brother was also injured, she was so frightened that she shed tears for a long time, but the eldest brother and the second brother were bluffed very lightly, and in the end, even the masked man who was rescued panicked and said a bunch of good things on the side.

Before parting, he also specially gave her a little tiger made of white jade.

The jade is of excellent color, it is the best mutton fat white jade, and the carving is also vivid, with its mouth open to make a roar, it seems that the next moment you can hear the roar of the tiger.

It's a pity that the Jiang family was wiped out later, and most of the things turned into ashes.

Her "heirloom" and the score left by her eldest brother, as well as a few small things, were hidden in a small storage box in the compartment, which was not eye-catching but not afraid of flames, and only escaped the catastrophe.

But the little tiger couldn't be found, for fear that it would have been looted by Zhu Qichao and Yan Bo's gang.

Jiang Mengyun didn't think of that person and the masked man in the painting before, but at this moment, the person who can give such a valuable gift is naturally either rich or expensive, if he is not hunted down, I am afraid that he should be no different from the person in the painting.

King Qi once said that he had been to the capital of Ningguo, and what he made was such a picture, could he be a bystander?

It shouldn't be, Jiang Mengyun thought, because people have instincts, and only by experiencing something in person can it be possible to never forget it.

So the masked man in this painting is King Qi himself.

She is his savior, Jiang Mengyun was about to breathe a sigh of relief for himself to solve the mystery, but the next moment he was stunned.

Someone wants to kill King Qi!

Why?

He's just an idle prince like an idle cloud and a wild crane!

When Jiang Mengyun began to think carefully about the reason, Mo Xin'er, the third princess in the Kunyuan Hall of the Middle Palace, was also pulling her throat and asking, "Why?!" ”

Empress Xue was holding the teacup, and before she could take a sip of tea, her eyes fell on Mo Xin'er, and her face suddenly sank: "You still dare to ask me why?" A dignified princess, you look in the mirror and see for yourself, what kind of dress is this! ”

"What's wrong with my dress......" After all, it was her own mother, although Mo Xin'er was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to splash, she only muttered in a low voice.

Empress Xue frowned, and her tone became more and more bad: "You dare to ask what's wrong with this palace!" ”

She didn't drink the tea anymore, put down the teacup and walked to Mo Xin'er, pointed to her head and asked her: "You are a princess, a daughter of this palace, and a proud son of the sky!" It's good for you, a good person doesn't do it to be a slave, just do it, the palace maid's clothes are not done, you play the housekeeper! What the hell do you want to do? ”

Mo Xin'er flattened her mouth and didn't answer.

Empress Xue didn't let her go, and shouted in a loud voice: "Speak!" ”

"What are you talking about......" Mo Xin'er lowered her head, her voice even quieter, "I didn't want to do anything." ”

She hummed and chirped, looking angry, which made Queen Xue feel more and more headaches: "Now that I know that I am afraid, didn't you ask me why just now?" You don't even say that the palace also knows, you want to follow Jiang Mengyun to Prince Li's mansion, don't you? ”

Mo Xin'er was silent.

Empress Xue flicked her sleeves, and her face trembled with anger: "You want to be angry with this palace!" That Mo Ziqi gave you ecstasy, do you have to entangle with him? If I don't let anyone stop you, you, you don't know what trouble is going to happen! ”

It was her fault to sneak out of the palace in the clothes of the chamberlain, but Empress Xue Mo Xin'er disagreed with this: "It's just going to King Qi's mansion, why did it become a trouble......

Empress Xue's face was gloomy, and she really wanted to knock her daughter's head open to see: "You are cousins and sisters, even if Prince Nali treats you well, he will treat you as a sister, you have to move forward!" ”

The more she talked, the more angry she became, and she didn't want to listen to Mo Xin'er's explanation: "If the palace asks you to stay away from him, you will stay away from him, and then ask me to find out that you are acting in private, so I will punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors, don't think about going anywhere!" ”

Is the queen mother crazy? Mo Xin'er raised her eyes to look at her, she couldn't figure out why.

You must know that Queen Xue doesn't like King Qi on weekdays, but she still does it on the surface, and she won't react so much.

The third princess stared, always feeling that something was wrong.

It seems that since she came to ask for peace this morning, the queen mother has shown her vigilance against Brother Qi. It's good, what is this suspicious?

She really couldn't figure it out.

Besides, the queen mother herself has been punished and confined herself, and the prince's brother can't go out, and now she wants to trap her in the house, so wouldn't the face of the middle palace be lost.

Mo Xin'er was very unconvinced, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but outside Mingqiu suddenly hurriedly entered the door, and whispered two words beside Queen Xue, interrupting her intentions.

Obviously, there was something serious to do, and Empress Xue commanded in a deep voice: "You let her in." He turned his head to look at Mo Xin'er again, and his tone was cold, "Don't leave today, just listen here." ”

In the past, as long as she talked about business, Queen Xue never wanted her to be present. What are you doing today? Mo Xin'er was inexplicable and didn't dare to move.

Mingqiu had to order it to go down, and soon brought a little palace maid in.

Mo Xin'er was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she suddenly stepped forward and said, "Aren't you the little ...... who blocked me this morning" She didn't finish speaking, and changed her title abruptly, "Palace maid?" You are waiting in Jiang Mengyun's room! How dare you stop this princess! ”

She remembered what happened outside Jiang Mengyun's gate in the morning, and wanted to go up to teach people a lesson.

Empress Xue's voice arrived at the right time: "You step back for me!" Without looking at Mo Xin'er's face that instantly became ugly, she only turned her head to Peony and said, "You say." ”

Peony winced and glanced at Mo Xin'er, subconsciously moved two steps to the side, and then knelt down and lay on the ground and replied: "Niangniang, that Jiang Mengyun is not credible, and she can't be sure of what she is doing as a hidden slave, this is what she originally wanted to give to Qi ...... Prince Li's fan pendant. ”

Hearing that it was about what she had seen and heard on the way to King Qi's mansion, Mo Xin'er, who was still eager to try, had a hard time listening carefully, and Peony told all the things that happened in the book, but she added oil and vinegar and lacked two pounds.
