There are two pots of jasmine in the side hall, and the rich aroma does not soothe the mind, but makes people more anxious.

Concubine Zhen frowned, slightly displeased: "No news yet?" ”

"When I went back to the concubine, I only saw the carriage of Ruiming Wangfu who got up early and left the city. There is no news from Ye Cheng's side yet......" Lei Zhen said uneasily.

"Don't worry, Lao Jiuyi has always been blessed with a great life, and it will be fine." The Queen Mother came in with the hand of her servant, and her face was gentle. "He learned kung fu since he was a child, and he was always the first in riding and archery. And it's not the first time I've responded to the battle. Perhaps his disappearance was just a ploy to paralyze the enemy. Concubine Zhen, you can relax. ”

Concubine Zhen stood up and saluted: "Accept your noble words." ”

"Sit down." The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "I've been bothering you for some days." If you look down and don't look up all day, you really don't need to be polite. ”

"Thank you for your compassion." Concubine Zhen sat down slowly, but her face was full of sadness.

"I heard that Princess Ruiming is also out of the city?" The Queen Mother looked suspiciously at Concubine Zhen's eyes. "It's still the city that comes directly from the Cen Xiangfu."

"Yes." Concubine Zhen was a little surprised: "I thought she didn't have such a deep relationship with Yan Chen, but I didn't want her to go to Yecheng as soon as she got the letter." Alas, it's hard for her. ”

Listening to Concubine Zhen's meaning, she seemed to be quite satisfied with Cen Muning. The Queen Mother was slightly weak-eyed, and her smile revealed two envy: "I still remember that when the first emperor was here, he took our sisters to hunt." But you and I are the most unwilling to admit defeat, and the prey we get is not inferior to those men. At the beginning, he could ride a horse and shoot arrows, but now he doesn't even have good eyes. It may not be possible to see whether it is a hare or a badger. ”

Concubine Zhen echoed casually: "Isn't it." When I was younger, I was doing embroidery or something. Nowadays, these eyes are even struggling to thread the needle. In the end, it is good to be young. You can do whatever you want. ”

The two of them were talking without boundaries, but they had their own thoughts.

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, Princess Ruiming's carriage was ambushed at the foot of the hillside outside the city, and the person was gone."

The inner chamberlain's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and prayed like this, which really frightened people.

"What's going on......" Concubine Zhen immediately understood. Someone deliberately lured Princess Ruiming out of the city and then exterminated her. And this man is probably sitting next to him at the moment.

"Have you told the emperor?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, and a cold cold light burst out from her eyes.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, you have already gone to tell the emperor." The inner chamberlain said truthfully.

"That's good, but you can't all count on the people around the emperor." The Queen Mother said thoughtfully: "In this way, you can lead some more people to cooperate with them in the search." As long as there is no worst news, there is still life. The sooner you find it, the safer you are. ”

"Yes, the minion will do it."

Here's what I said. Lao Jiu had an accident, and even the princess suffered. It seems that most of Ye Cheng's affairs this time are directed at him. The Queen Mother pretended to be high and said: "I don't know who Lao Jiu has offended." But don't worry too much, Lady Zhen. The emperor's Yulin guards have all been dispatched, and they will definitely be able to rescue them back safe and sound. ”

"With the words of the Queen Mother, I am relieved." Concubine Zhen endured the dissatisfaction in her heart and gently met the queen mother's gaze. "I hope that Chenchen and his daughter-in-law can save the day."

Outside the city, at the foot of the South Mountain.

The carriage had been burned, and the mutilation was shocking to watch.

Yu Linwei searched for the missing Princess Ruiming along the hillside over and over again, but unfortunately found nothing.

At this time, Cen Muning appeared unharmed in the Ruiming Palace, in the room full of poisonous snakes. I was drinking the best realgar wine, thinking about what to do next.

"Don't worry, princess, our people have already made contact with the master." Qingli frowned and said: "The master's meaning has not changed, please stay in the palace and don't go out." ”

This coincides with Cen Muning. Although when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she planned to pick up Zhuang Chenchen and gain the reputation of a good wife. But when you think about it, instead of helping, it only adds to the chaos. It is better to follow his arrangement.

"Then you can wait in the house." Cen Mooning sighed a little discouraged.

"Don't worry, princess, what you asked the slave to do has already been done. Tonight, there will be a good show in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The corners of Qingli's lips rose slightly: "When you can get out of the house, you can naturally go to the lively." ”

"It's okay. Did the house slave you knocked out wake up? Cen Muning frowned slightly.

"Not yet, but it's just a basin of water." Qing Lirao smiled: "It's better to bring him here and ask." ”

"It's fine." Cen Mu Ningning was also curious in her heart, her mother was the most proficient in pharmacology, and the decoction was poisonous, how could she not smell it. was calculated by the Sui family and the Guo family.

He Ran was woken up here, and he almost fainted again. "Big ...... Miss, you'd better kill the minions. ”

"You have your concerns in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can understand. But at this time, it was in the Ruiming Palace. It's noon now, you've been missing since following me last night, even if you send you back now, do you think the Sui clan can spare you? If you are willing to say anything, I will immediately have someone pick up your relatives and give you another safe place to live. The Sui clan will be unlucky in the future, and there will be no effort to waste on you, whether you want to live or not, it is all up to you to make your own decisions. ”

Said the minion. He Ran knew that there was no way out, so he naturally stopped resisting. "In fact, half of the medicine for my wife was added to the incense burner by Guo. The medicine had a faint bitter smell, which was not so noticeable when mixed with Madame's favorite potpourri. And the other half of the drink is colorless and tasteless at all. The two are indispensable, and mixing them together will work. ”

Cen Muning closed her eyes, and the scene of that night came to her mind. That's how the mother was calculated by them.

After He Ran finished speaking, he looked at Cen Muning with a puzzled face: "Miss, the new lady is very scheming, and she knew that the placement of slaves was used by her as early as she entered the mansion. You haven't shown your feet in all these years, and the minion is really curious, how the hell do you know about this? ”

"If I keep being cautious, I won't know." Cen Mooning looked at him with a faint smile: "But no one is perfect, there is always a time when she is the most proud." Once you lose your prudence, you can easily be noticed. ”

"Qingli, according to the original plan, send him away. Wait until the Sui family's account is settled, and then talk about it. Cen Muning was depressed in her heart, and her eyes were slightly red.

Bingling stepped forward and brought a cup of tea: "Miss, don't feel bad." Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, where is the human heart in this world so easy to see. ”

"At the beginning, she had been by her mother's side and did her best, and she treated me as well as Mu Yuan. After my mother left, I even regarded her as the closest person. And in her heart, there has never been half true feelings. Such a person is worse than stabbing you with a knife. Cen Mooning put away her sadness: "I think I know what to do." ”

When night falls, the gates of the huge imperial city are locked, as if facing a great enemy.

At this time, ordinary people's homes have gradually quieted down, but only the prime minister's mansion is still not peaceful.

"What's the sound, haven't you found out where it came from?" Sui Miao's head was covered with cold sweat, and she had just finished bathing, and the coldness on her body swept away the warmth brought by the bath.

"People, you can't find people. Things can't be done well. When Chu and Guo were wives, I didn't see you so lazy. Now it's Mrs. Ben's turn, why is she so restless? Sui Miao's whole body trembled, and a pair of eyes stared at the closed window: "Don't go find it yet." ”

Yuan Long answered, and led his men to look for it. Before he had gone far, he saw the third lady being helped over.

"The night breeze is cooler, Miss San, you just woke up, why did you come here like this. Watch out for your body. ”

Cen Muyuan nodded at her slightly, her face was slightly flustered: "I have something to tell my mother." ”

When the door was gently pushed open, Sui Miao was changing clothes.

"That minion is so short-sighted, he dares to break in without knocking on the door?" Qiu Ling asked angrily.

"It's me." Cen Muyuan's voice was a little soft: "I came to see my mother on purpose." ”

"Mu Yuan?" Sui Miao was a little worried: "Why are you here, isn't it good for your body?" ”

She let people be added to the medicine, and sure enough, Mu Yuan quickly sobered up. It's also good, after all, it's his own daughter, and he can't always be ruthless.

"Mother, I always hear strange noises in my room." Cen Muyuan was worried: "I heard that you are not quiet here. I just came to take a look. ”

"yes." Sui Miao made a gesture of silence and listened with his ears pricked up. "Listen, that hissing voice I don't know what it is, it makes people feel uneasy."

"Mother, I'm afraid." Cen Muyuan took two quick steps and stuck to her arms.

The kid suddenly pounced, making Sui Miao's heart soften all of a sudden. She's been thinner these days. "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Mu Yuan, as long as you promise your mother not to think nonsense, your illness will get better soon. ”

"Hmm." As soon as Cen Muyuan nodded, she listened to it. It's like something dripping from the top of your head.

She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the beam, and her face was bloodless with fright: "Ghost! Ghosts! Hell yes! ”

Sui Miao was pushed by her violently, her body hit the wall, she raised her head in a panic, and sure enough, she saw a strand of black hair: "How can this be true, who is pretending to be a ghost here!" It's not ...... soon."

She was about to give Qiu Ling the order to grab the strange strand of hair, when suddenly a drop of blood fell into her eye. The choking bloody breath was accompanied by discomfort in her eyes, and her heart began to panic. "Call someone quickly, Qiu Ling ...... quickly"

"Someone......" As soon as Qiu Ling called out these three words, something strangled her throat. Yes...... Hmmm......"

"It's Guo! It's Guo's soul, it's Guo's soul who is asking for his life! Cen Muyuan exclaimed: "Evil has evil retribution, evil has evil retribution, mother killed Guo Shi, Guo Shi came to take revenge, Guo Shi came to take revenge!" ”

"Shut up!" Sui Miao opened one eye and closed one eye, ran over and slapped Cen Muyuan in the face: "How can there be ghosts in this world, don't talk nonsense here." ”

"How can there be no ghosts in this world......"

A pair of cold and stiff hands suddenly bypassed Sui Miao's neck: "Long time no see, Mrs. Fourth Aunt!" I'm here to ask for your life! ”
