The carriage of the Linchuan Palace's mansion was waiting outside the princess's mansion, and Yong'an saw Qingzhu and Qinghe helping Su Qingmo out from a distance, and hurriedly approached the carriage and said, "Lord, the princess was helped out by Qingzhu and them." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door curtain of the carriage was lifted, Mu Yuanjing jumped out of the carriage to meet Su Qingmo, seeing her sweaty and pale face, Mu Yuanjing's eyes were full of anger and asked Qingzhu, "What's the matter." ”

Before Qingzhu could speak, Su Qingmo grabbed Mu Yuanjing's hand and said softly, "I want to go back to the house." ”

Mu Yuanjing stopped his waist and picked up Su Qingmo, the two got into the carriage, Mu Yuanjing knocked on the wall of the carriage, and Yong'an outside the car was instructed to drive the carriage out of the princess's mansion.

Mu Yuanjing really couldn't imagine how people could become like this just by listening to the scene, he fed a cup of water into Su Qingmo's mouth, and only after her face was better did he ask softly: "What happened in the princess's mansion?" ”

Su Qingmo took a sip of water, every time she remembered the pair of eyes on the stage, she felt palpitations, she pursed her lips and stuffed her hand into Mu Yuanjing's palm, Mu Yuanjing rubbed the cold plain hand in her hand, and listened to Su Qingmo whisper: "I saw something bad in the princess's mansion." ”

Mu Yuanjing silently warmed her hands and listened to her continue: "It's like what I saw in Chengnan District that night. ”

"Is it from the princess's mansion or?" The movements in his hands slowly stopped, and Mu Yuanjing asked Su Qingmo.

Su Qingmo shook his head, "I don't know, she just appeared on the stage out of thin air, and when she realized that I could see her, she looked at me motionless." ”

For these things, Mu Yuanjing doesn't particularly care about them when they don't happen, and there is no reason for them, even if he wants to investigate, there is no place to start, compared to the strange events in the princess's mansion, he is more concerned about another thing at this time, "Someone hurt you in the princess's mansion?" ”

Su Qingmo put down the water glass and said blankly: "No." ”

Mu Yuanjing frowned slightly, and twisted her sideburns that were wet with cold sweat, "When you came out of the princess's mansion, your face was not very good. ”

His heart beat a beat slower as he watched her being helped out of the princess's mansion, and if he knew that something would happen after he left, he wouldn't leave her alone.

Su Qingmo smiled lightly, "That was something I discussed with Qingzhu." ”

Mu Yuanjing was puzzled.

Su Qingmo continued: "I discussed with Qingzhu early in the morning, if anything happens after I arrive at the princess's mansion, I will knock on the table three times, and Qingzhu will take me away." ”

Mu Yuanjing was still puzzled, "How to leave?" ”

Su Qingmo smiled, with a little smugness on his face, "Qingzhu hits me here while people are not paying attention, I will break out in a cold sweat, and I can use this as an excuse to leave." ”

She pointed to the position of her flank, her face flushed.

Mu Yuanjing felt helpless for the first time, how did she and her maid come up with such a violent method.

Su Qingmo looked at Mu Yuanjing's slightly frowning appearance, and said curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Yuanjing disagreed: "Don't hurt yourself again in the future, I'm outside, wouldn't it be better for you to send someone to inform me." ”

"I was so stunned that I didn't think about it."

Mu Yuanjing said with a smile: "You are still afraid of ghosts when you hunt ghosts." ”

While talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, Su Qingmo lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see an old woman in ragged clothes lying next to the carriage, Yongan jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward to check.

Su Qingmo asked Qinghe beside the car, "What's the matter?" ”

Qinghe replied in a low voice: "This person suddenly rushed out of the alley and was hit by a carriage. ”

Su Qingmo's eyes were worried, "Take people to the hospital for treatment." ”

"Yes."

Qinghe walked to Yong'an's side and whispered to Yong'an about his master's instructions, and after a while, Yong'an raised his hand and motioned to the guards around him to help the old woman get up.

I thought it was just a small accident, but when the carriage was about to move on, the old woman broke free from the guard's support and threw herself into the carriage.

The sudden change frightened Su Qingmo a lot, she leaned against the wall of the car, her breathing was slightly messy, and she only heard the old woman shouting hoarsely after being pulled out of the car by Yong'an: "Please let the princess be the master." ”

It turned out that when Qinghe told Yongan what Su Qingmo had ordered, the old woman heard it, so the old woman knew that the person in the car was Princess Linchuan.

Crying and shouting kept coming from outside the car, and Mu Yuanjing asked softly, "Shall I go down with you to have a look?" ”

Su Qingmo nodded.

Yong'an opened the curtain of the car, and the old woman knelt on the ground, and stopped crying when she saw two fairy-looking people walking out of the car.

Mu Yuanjing accompanied Su Qingmo to the old woman's side, Su Qingmo smiled and asked softly, "What difficulties did the eldest lady encounter?" ”

A line of turbid tears flowed down the ravine on the old woman's face, "Are you the princess?" ”

Su Qingmo smiled and nodded, "If the eldest lady has any difficulties, just tell me about it." ”

"There are difficulties, there are difficulties" The old woman wiped the tears on her face with the torn cuffs that could afford the raw edges, and then straightened her scattered hair in a panic, and respectfully kowtowed to Su Qingmo and Mu Yuanjing, and pleaded: "Please the prince and the princess to save my son." ”

Motioning for Qingzhu to step forward and help the old woman up, Su Qingmo wondered, "What's wrong with the eldest lady's child?" ”

The old woman seemed to be afraid of soiling Qingzhu's clothes, and when Qingzhu walked to her, she got up from the ground in a panic, she leaned over her body, and her expression was a little sad, "My son disappeared two months ago, and he couldn't see anyone alive or dead." ”

"Why didn't the eldest lady go to the government to report the case?"

"I reported it, but the government helped me find it for a month and didn't find it, so I treated it as a missing person, and even the household registration was cancelled."

Hearing this, Su Qingmo was even more puzzled, "What did the eldest lady stop me for today?" ”

It seemed that she didn't know whether to say the next words or not, the old woman's expression was a little hesitant, and finally seemed to have finally figured it out, and when she was about to speak, she noticed that there were more and more onlookers around, and the old woman begged: "Lord, princess, can I say it in another place?" ”

Mu Yuanjing was not very interested in the old woman's affairs, but because of Su Qingmo's relationship, he still agreed to the old woman's request, "Take the person back to the palace." ”

Because the journey back to the palace was not far, Mu Yuanjing did not arrange another carriage for the old woman, but let her sit next to Yong'an outside the carriage.

In front of the palace, Mu Yuanjing helped Su Qingmo get out of the carriage and walk into the palace.

The scenery in the palace was beautiful, and in the eyes of the old woman, she felt that even the place where the gods lived was nothing more than that, and she followed behind everyone with restrained steps, for fear of breaking something, and was brought into a spacious hall in less than a cup of tea.

Qinghe served the old woman a cup of tea, and Su Qingmo pointed to the seat behind the old woman, "Auntie, sit down." ”

The old woman held on to the armrest of the chair, sat down carefully, and as soon as her buttocks touched the chair, she suddenly stood up, and said crampedly: "The clothes are not clean, don't stain such a good chair." ”

Su Qingmo's heart was slightly sour because of the old woman's words, "It's okay, sit down." ”

The old woman thought for a moment, and then sat back down.

When the old woman returned to the chair, Mu Yuanjing, who had never spoken when her expression was not so restrained, spoke up: "Auntie has something to say now." ”

As soon as Mu Yuanjing's words fell, the old woman hurriedly stood up, "I... I know that I can't find anyone for so long, and I'm afraid my son has no hope of living, but whether he is dead or alive, I have to see him. ”

Seeing that the old woman could not relax, Su Qingmo no longer insisted on it, and let the old woman stand and continued: "Two months ago, he said that he was going to stay at a friend's house for two days, and this was the case in the past, but at most he went home in three or four days, but this time he didn't come back for many days after he went out. ”

The old woman took a breath and continued: "I went to his friend's house to look for it, and they said that he had never been there at all, and in the end I had to report to the official, and the people of the government searched for a month without results, and people were born and died without seeing the corpse, and I was going to give up." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yuanjing only thought that it was an ordinary disappearance incident, but the old woman changed her words and said: "But I have been dreaming of him every day since a few days ago, in the dream, his face is full of blood, his neck is almost cut off, and only a layer of skin and flesh remains, he said that the place where he is surrounded is so dark and cold, and there is a woman in white clothes who often whips him and tortures him. ”

Hearing the words in white clothes, Su Qingmo's heart suddenly stirred, "Auntie, do you know what the woman in white looks like." ”

The old woman shook her head.

Mu Yuanjing was not attracted by the old woman's words, but said lightly on the side, "If this king is not mistaken, the eldest mother deliberately stopped the carriage today." ”

The old woman nodded hurriedly, not hiding it at all, "Yesterday someone threw a note at my house, which said that if I want to know the whereabouts of my son, stop your sedan chair today, and then beg the princess Niangniang, the princess will definitely help me if she is soft-hearted." ”

The old woman took out a folded note from her waist, Yongan stepped forward to take the note and handed it to Mu Yuanjing, Mu Yuanjing opened it and looked at it, what was written on it was not much different from what the old woman said, put the note on the table, and asked unhurriedly: "Is the eldest lady's son strange before he disappears?" ”

The old woman thought for a moment, and a hint of hesitation loomed in her voice, "Before he left home, he always said that he was going to some theater troupe to listen to the opera......

Mu Yuanjing didn't ask any more, he instructed Yong'an to send people out of the palace, the old woman still didn't want to leave, Su Qingmo said with relief, "Your son's whereabouts will definitely be found out, and the eldest lady can go back with confidence." ”

After listening to Su Qingmo's promise, the old woman followed Yong'an and left the hall.

Mu Yuanjing frowned slightly, "Today's events are all too coincidental. ”

Su Qingmo had some thought on her face, and she moved her gaze from Mu Yuanjing's face to the note on the table.

Things are indeed very coincidental, the woman in white who appeared out of thin air in the princess's mansion, the missing son of the old woman, the woman in white in the dream, the note that suddenly appeared and the whereabouts of the palace that were revealed, all happened too coincidentally, as if someone had arranged this incident behind the scenes.

Yong'an returned to the hall after sending the old woman, bowed down and said, "The slave has already sent someone to follow behind the old woman." ”

Mu Yuanjing picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip gently, "Lin Ning, you personally go and find out the details of the troupe invited by the princess's mansion today." ”

Lin Ning, who came out of nowhere, stood in front of Mu Yuanjing and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing Lin Ning, who disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, Su Qingmo's face was stunned, "This is?" ”

"Lin Ning is my secret guard, and he is also the leader of the hidden guard."

Su Qingmo thought that the most important thing at the moment was to investigate the details of the troupe that had sung in the princess's mansion, but Mu Yuanjing didn't seem to have this meaning at all, Lin Ning began to investigate the second day of the troupe, and in the afternoon of this day, Mu Yuanjing was wearing a loose and comfortable robe and nestled on the low couch under the window of Moxiangju, holding a cup of tea in his left hand and a book in his right hand to look through.

Qinghe walked in from the outside, glanced at Mu Yuanjing on the couch, hid the heavy letter in his hand behind him, Su Qingmo said casually: "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that the master did not mean to avoid the prince, Qinghe took out the letter hidden behind him, "The letter from the lord and the lady to the princess has arrived." ”

Su Qingmo put the book in his hand on the small table in the middle of the low couch, got up from the couch and took the letter and opened it, who knew that he took out another letter from the envelope, and when he saw who the recipient was, Su Qingmo had a bad premonition.

Mu Yuanjing looked at the letter handed to him, with some doubts on his face, "For me?" ”

To be honest, Su Qingmo couldn't figure out why her mother wrote a letter to Mu Yuanjing, but the words Prince of Linchuan were clearly written on the envelope, and she couldn't pretend not to see it.

Mu Yuanjing closed the book and put it aside, stretched out his fair and slender hand to take the letter, opened the envelope and read it.

Su Qingmo on the side read the letter written to him by his father and mother with anxiety, the letter didn't say anything special, only told her to take care of herself, remember to add more clothes when the weather turns cold, be careful not to catch a cold, and said some things about Sufu, to sum up, nothing big has happened in Sufu recently, she can live her own life.

Su Qingmo accepted the letter, and found that Mu Yuanjing on the side had not finished reading it, so he quietly poked his head, and was unafraid that Mu Yuanjing sent the letter to her, Su Qingmo was stunned, "Can I read it?" ”

Mu Yuanjing smiled a little unnaturally, "Mother-in-law wrote below that you will be curious, so it's okay to just show it to you." ”

Su Qingmo took the letter, and when she saw more than half of it, she really wanted to kneel down for her mother.

How could anyone talk to his son-in-law about the round house, and what would he say thanks to King Linchuan for his thoughtfulness, and what daughter would give him his own peace of mind.

Su Qingmo pretended to be calm and folded the letter and returned it to Mu Yuanjing.

"Don't look at it?"

Su Qingmo "coughed", picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea to hide the reddened ears roots, "This letter must have been put in by my mother without my father." ”

Mu Yuanjing smiled and said nothing.

Su Qingmo was a little embarrassed in her heart, it stands to reason that it is a matter of course for the husband and wife to have a round house after they get married, but she always has some uneasiness in her heart, Mu Yuanjing also understands her, she is never reluctant, she doesn't want to change the relationship with him rashly, and she is always worried that he and she will never be able to return to the current closeness and harmony in the future.

Although the conversation between the two proceeded calmly and without waves, there was no difference on the surface, but Qinghe was still keenly aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere during the dinner in the evening.

After the two of them had dinner in silence, Mu Yuanjing left Moxiangju by himself.

After Mu Yuanjing left, Su Qingmo lost his appetite for eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks and instructed Qingrui: "Take it." ”

Qingrui didn't notice the master's mood, and obediently led people to take away the food, Mama Lin walked in from the outside, and glanced at Qinghe in the house, and Qinghe quietly retreated.

Su Qingmo saw Mama Lin walk in and said with concern: "How is Mama's housework?" ”

Mama Lin went back to her hometown on the second day after Su Qingmo married into the palace, because her only nephew married a wife, Mama Lin had to go back.

She poured a cup of tea and brought it to Su Qingmo, "The old slave's family affairs are going well, and the old slave can serve the princess wholeheartedly in the future." ”

Su Qingmo smiled and didn't speak, picked up the book in the day and continued to read.

"Madame's letter to the prince, the old slave has already heard Madame say it."

Su Qingmo put down the book and looked at Mama Lin, who smiled lovingly, "What are the girl's plans now?" ”

Hearing the word 'girl', Su Qingmo almost burst into tears, these two words made her seem to have returned to the time when she was still in the Su family, at that time she didn't have to worry about anything, although she would also pretend to be called an uncle and brother and sister who couldn't find faults, but she always had no worries in her heart, unlike now, the unknown future makes her prohibitive.

She suppressed the sourness that swelled up in her heart, "How do you think I should get along with the prince now?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare to say anything, say something out of bounds, the girl is no different from the old slave's granddaughter in the old slave's heart, so the old slave just wants the girl to live according to her heart's thoughts, just like when she was in the Su family, and live a comfortable life."

Su Qingmo was stunned, "I'm just afraid that the ending won't be as happy as I thought." ”

Mama Lin said with a smile: "When the old slave left the old lady and went to the girl's side, the old lady told the old slave that the old lady said that you have a transparent temperament, and you don't need to say anything about everything, and one day you will think it clearly, so you don't have to rush to ask for results." ”

Mama Lin's words made Su Qingmo suddenly realize in an instant.

yes, what's the hurry.

She got up from the couch and asked Mama Lin, "Where is the prince?" ”

Mama Lin smiled: "The old slave went and asked." ”

Su Qingmo thought for a moment and stopped her, "I'll go by myself." ”
