Fengxiang City in the early morning is like a sleeping phoenix, silent and majestic, especially under the rising warm sun, as if wearing a layer of fiery red clothes, hot and beautiful.

Ling Shan wore a black gauze curtain and hurriedly walked into the city, and went straight to the Yuelai Inn, which was all over the territory of the Celestial Empire, but most of the people who went out stayed here.

"Guest, are you here? Is it to eat or to sharpen? ”

"First bring me a pot of tea to warm my stomach, then a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge."

She threw out a piece of silver and sat down in a corner where she could see all of the inn.

"Hey! Here it comes! Guest, this is the tea, porridge, and buns you want, you can use them slowly! ”

"Wait!"

"I wonder what else is going on with the guest officer?"

"I asked you about personal ...... No need, there you go! ”

As soon as she wanted to ask for some clues, she saw Qing Changgui walking down from the second floor in good spirits, accompanied by Qing Ning and two scholars, and two scholars, and the three of them walked towards the inn with a smile.

She drank all the tea, picked up three buns and followed closely, but also kept a certain distance so as not to be discovered by Qingning.

Outside the city, a group of six people flew on their horses and went straight to Kaifeng, but what they didn't expect was that before they got out of Fengxiang City, three black-clothed people sprang out of the mountain bag next to the official road, and they started to kill, but in the blink of an eye, the two scholars fell in a pool of blood.

Qing Ning was one against three, Qing Changgui was only shocked for a moment before returning to normal, urging the other two scholars to go into the mountains and forests and hide.

It's just that although Qingning's kung fu is not bad, he is also invincible with two fists and four hands, and when he saw a sword stabbing at him, he couldn't dodge it, so he had to avoid the key point and continue to fight to the death.

Keng——

Ling Shan fell from the sky, but in just three rounds, the heads of the three men in black fell to the ground, she saw that the crisis had been solved, and flew away, no matter how Ren Qingning shouted, she didn't stop.

"Master, we're going back soon, I don't know what we'll encounter along the way?"

"You're right, when I went out, I promised Yingyue that I would go back safely, but you ......" he said and ripped off the hem of his shirt and bandaged the wound on his arm so that it would no longer bleed.

"I got a sword wound on my left arm, but it's not in the way, it's better to hurry! I'll go and get the horse back, and you and the two gentlemen will hide it in the woods before you do!" ”

"Okay, you-"

Click-Click

Before the two of them could finish their words, they saw that the horse that had fled before had galloped back. The four of them were surprised, but they didn't stop at all, turned over their horses, and rushed out as fast as they could, passing by Kaifeng Mansion without pausing for a moment.

Ling Shan followed behind, complaining bitterly, they had eaten something before leaving, but she only drank a cup of tea and three buns, which had already been digested in the previous fight, but they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to eat.

Qing Ning looked behind him from time to time, always felt that someone was following, but he didn't feel malice, thinking of the woman who fell from the sky before, he suddenly felt that maybe she was following behind him, the purpose was naturally to protect, but he didn't know who was ordered and what name was called?

Qingzhou Mansion Peony Garden

Mama Li came in a hurry, and said something in the ear of the third lady, and the latter slapped the table with a hideous face.

"Madam, the old slave told you that there are some things that cannot be too much!"

"I understand what you say, but I'm just unwilling."

"No matter how unwilling you are, it doesn't belong to Miss, it's better to listen to persuasion, forget it!" Mama Li persuaded meaningfully, and looked at the third lady distressedly, this is the young lady she brought up from childhood, and in her heart she is no different from her own daughter.

"Needless to say, Mama, one day I will be the only woman beside him, and like this...... Not worthy to live in the world. ”

Mama Li sighed secretly, it was very heartbroken for her persistence, the third master had a deep love for her, since she entered the house, other women didn't even look at it, even if the two of them had sex over the years, there was only a cave room, and once the lady was drunk and opened her heart to the lord as that person, but these two times she had a son and a daughter, which is enough to show that the fate of the two is not shallow, but the lady's obsession is too deep.

Now that this incident happened, the first thing she thought of was not the third master and the third lady, but the same person, alas! I don't know when she'll wake up.

"Does Mama Gu know about this?"

"I don't know yet!"

"So what are you waiting for? You go talk to her and see what she's going to do about it? ”

"Yes!"

The third lady watched Mama Li leave, turned around and entered Qinglong's Linglong Pavilion, and saw that she was copying the scriptures of filial piety and the rules of the women, and walked out distressed; met Qing Xuanlei head-on.

"Mother, what's wrong? Such an ugly face? ”

"Nothing, where are you going?"

"Go see my father, he's waiting for me in the study!"

"Go ahead!"

When she heard the word study, she felt sullen, obviously a businessman, and she didn't see him read any books on weekdays, but she wanted to learn from those literati and ink writers, which was really disgusting.

Clear Water Pavilion

Qingyan packed up and hurriedly went to Changyue Garden, and met Qinglian and Qingnuan by chance on the way, the three sisters walked in with a smile, and saw Jiang Yingyue holding Brother Cheng'er, with a look of love and gentleness.

"Mother, hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

"Nope! Say it's noon! ”

Qingyan nodded quietly, wringing the handkerchief in his hand uneasily, and looked out of the door from time to time, hoping to see him as soon as possible. But she didn't expect to see Yi Xuan probing her brain outside, she looked at Yi Han, who hurriedly withdrew, talked to her for a few words, and then hurriedly walked back and whispered in her ear.

"What's wrong?"

"No, suddenly something happened, mother, I want to go out of the house, if my father comes back, send someone to Bishui Pavilion to say something, so as not to worry me."

"Out of the house? What is this going to do? Don't run out of your girl's house every day, it's in the way of your reputation! ”

"Don't worry, mother, I know in my heart that I will pretend to be a boy and let my uncle accompany me, okay?"

"This ...... All right! Go and come back quickly! ”

"Yes!"

She took Yi Han's hand and walked out of Changyue Garden quickly, her face was extremely ugly, she never thought that such a thing would happen.

"Yixuan, go find your uncle and ask him to wait for me at the door!"

Caohui Hall

Qingyan walked out of it, galloped all the way, got into the carriage after meeting Jiang Xiren, and went straight to the Mei Mansion, he didn't know what happened, but seeing her ugly face, he didn't want to ask much.

When we arrived at Liufangzhai, the carriage stopped, and she smiled and asked him to get off, and said that the dim sum here was the best, and let him eat it here first, and she would come back later.

"Yan'er—"

She only looked at him silently, smiling faintly, and there was a flash of anxiety in the depths of her eyes, he didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so he had to get out of the carriage and watch her turn a corner and disappear.

"Ling Yi, follow and have a look, if there is no danger, you don't have to show up."

on the carriage

"But it hurt someone?" Qingyan smiled, his eyes were cold, although Yi Han was used to it, he still felt terrifying.

"Nope! It's just that Liu Da found fire oil in it, and the amount is not very much, so he probably doesn't want to cause death. ”

"Humph! He was quick, thinking he would scare me? Delusion! ”

The carriage stopped, Liu Da lifted the curtain, and the moment she poked her head out, she saw that the hundred-year-old locust tree in the courtyard of the Mei Mansion had been scorched black, and wisps of green smoke were floating in the wind, but they disappeared after flying into the blue sky.

When I walked into the plum house, I saw that the outer wall of the kitchen was soaked in water, mixed with the traces of fire, and exuded a choking smell.

"Can you report to the official?" Qingyan was furious.

"It's reported! The government said it was an accident. ”

"Accidents? Didn't they see the oil on the ground? ”

"I saw it, and said that it was because the oil in the kitchen was spilled that the water was gone."

Qing Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, after living for three lifetimes, it was the first time to see such a ridiculous way of handling cases, there was no need to ask more, and he knew that it must be Qing Changfu who bought the government.

"Good! Very good! In that case, I can't sit still! What about Chen Dong? ”

"In the wings!"

"Take me there!"

"Yes!"

Qingfu

Mama Gu and Mama Li teamed up to search in the Summer Palace, and soon found the remaining oleander juice from Chuxin's room.

"Say it! Where did this come from? What is it used for? ”

"Slave—"

The original heart is like ashes, how can she explain it? Could it be that the old lady had said that she would send it to the fourth old man's room, and then the fourth lady suddenly became stronger, and the matter was delayed again and again, until the old lady fell ill, she was anxious, and asked for medical advice everywhere, and then when she went out to buy rouge, she heard someone say that oleander juice is an extremely rare elixir, no matter what the disease, as long as you smell it can be immediately effective.

Then she looked for this half bottle, and was thinking about how to use it, when she heard that the old lady hung the embroidery of the third lady on the head of the bed, and she was overjoyed, so she secretly smeared it on the embroidery, thinking that the best effect would not hurt the old lady's body even if it did not work.

But I didn't expect it to be a highly poisonous thing, since she learned the news, she has been trying to throw it away, but she has not found a suitable opportunity to leave the house, and has the intention to throw it in the house, but several times she has not succeeded, either she met Jasmine, or she met the silver kite, dragged it around, and it evolved into such a look.

"Let me ask you for the time being, did you get the fragrance on the embroidery of the third lady?"

"Slave maid - slave maid ——, Mama spare her life! The slave only heard that this was a good medicine, but she didn't know that it was poisonous, and asked Mama to let the slave go! ”

"Spare it? Not to mention whether you really don't know about this matter, or whether you don't know it; There is only one, who in this mansion doesn't know that you were left by the old lady for the fourth master, but what did you do yesterday? Mama Li stepped forward and pointed at her sharply.

At that time, passing through the hundred gardens, he met the drunken third master by chance, he muttered the name of the third lady, but he held her in his arms, no matter what, he could not break free, and finally he was in the rockery......

She thought that the third lady would not say anything even if she knew about it, others didn't know, but she knew that the third lady didn't have that mind about the third master, and the complaint and question in his mouth yesterday also confirmed her guess, but she didn't expect to end up killing herself.

At three o'clock, Qingyan Fang walked out of Chen Dongfang's room, calmly got into the carriage with Yi Han, went around to the main gate of Liufangzhai, went up to the second floor, found Jiang Xiren in the private room, had lunch together, and walked on the way home.

"Uncle, how is the rehearsal?"

"I've found the best play, and now it's being rehearsed."

"Oh? How long does it take to get it in line? ”

"A month!"

She bowed her head and said nothing, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: It seems that there are some things to prepare, otherwise it will be too late when the drama starts.

Seeing that he was about to turn into the alley of Qinhou Mansion, a luxurious carriage came in front of him, walking in the middle of the road, Liu Da no matter which side he gave way, he could not miss it smoothly, just when he was about to drive the car to the side and wait, the carriage suddenly sped up, Liu Da could not react, and the two cars collided with a bang.

Suddenly the carriage was shattered, Qingyan's whole person was thrown out of the car, she only felt dizzy, her vision was blurred, and then she exclaimed with a cold exclamation, when she saw everything clearly, she found that a steel knife was slashing at her.

"Miss—"
