Under the dim lights, snowflakes are flying.

The children's spirits were not good, and after dinner, they chased and fought on the brocade felt under the hall for a while, and they were all tired, and it didn't take long for them to come up and say goodbye to Song Yixiao, and follow their respective nurses and maids back to the yard to settle.

At this moment, on the spacious and beautifully furnished hall, Song Yixiao has to smile with moss brocade and bells, although in addition to doing needlework, he can occasionally chat a few words, but in the end there are few people, and it is easy to hear the sound of snow falling outside the window - unexpectedly, it reveals a little cold and lonely.

"Calculate the time, it's time for Master Hou to go home?" The bell embroidered a camellia, felt a little sleepy, glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the house, and said, "Why don't the slaves go to the kitchen and see if they have boiled the sobering soup?" ”

In fact, this kind of errand runner doesn't need her to do it herself-there are several little maids guarding the porch outside, all of whom are specially waiting for orders.

However, the bell accompanied the master to do this half-day needlework, and felt a little depressed, so he found a reason to go out for a walk.

"I also asked them to make a few small snacks, the palace banquet is that little flower every year, and the husband is tired of eating it for a long time, and he may have to put something on the mat when he comes back." Song Yixiao saw her thoughts, but she didn't pierce it, and said while flying the needle, "It just so happens that I feel a little hungry too, so I asked them to give me a hot bowl of goat milk to drink!" ”

Bell smiled: "I'm afraid it's not enough to drink goat's milk alone, do you want to also serve it with a plate of pastries?" It's the kind that the chef made last time, and there are only four dishes in one plate, one is no more than the size of a thumb, and I'm not afraid of accumulating food. ”

"Tell the kitchen what you want to eat, and ask them to make it together!" Song Yi smiled and nodded.

Seeing that she had nothing else to say, Bell got up and straightened her dress and went out.

It's just that what the master and servant didn't expect was that after a while, Bell took the pastry and goat's milk back, and they finished eating everything slowly, but Jian Xubai was still nowhere to be seen!

"You go to the front yard to find Yu Shiheng, and ask him to send a few people to the palace gate to greet him, don't be that the husband is so drunk that he can't ride a horse, so he hasn't come back yet." Now the situation is not as good as in previous years, and her husband has not returned for a long time when he enters the palace for a banquet, it is difficult not to let Song Yixiao think about the bad things, and she has no heart to do the needlework, so she casually put it in the basket next to her, swept her sideburns and ordered, "Also go to other people's houses nearby to ask, will their family come back?" ”

The bell did as he was told, and after about half an hour, Jian Xubai still hadn't returned, but Yu Shiheng went to Keshao Hall and asked to tell him in person.

Song Yixiao's heart sank when he heard this, Yu Shiheng has always understood the rules, in the middle of the night, if it wasn't an important matter, how could he ask to come to the back to see the housewife in person?

She suppressed the anxiety and secretly evened out her breath before she commanded in a deep voice: "Let him in!" ”

"Grandma, my subordinates personally brought people to the palace gate, but the palace gate was closed, and the guards on the door said that they had not received the news of the banquet and had not yet left the palace." Yu Shiheng obviously felt that things were not good, so after entering the door, he saw that Moss Jin and Bell were both the henchmen of the main mother, and he was not verbose, he saluted, and then said straightforwardly, "The subordinates left a carriage and two people to wait for the Hou Ye in front of the palace gate, and led people to several nearby houses, including Yipingbo Mansion and Zhaodehou Mansion, as well as Hengshan Wangfu and Spring Lane Garden, and several families also said that their family had not returned either, and they were about to send someone to the palace gate to inquire about the news!" ”

At this time, even Moss Jin, who was promoted to Song Yixiao for less than half a year, instinctively changed his face!

"You guys go out first!" Song Yixiao took a deep breath and told herself that she had to calm down - her husband was not in the house, and he might even have an accident in the palace, what if he was also in a mess, but he called the three children in the house?!

She sent the moss brocade and the bell, and when Yu Shiheng was left alone, she lowered her voice and asked, "Has my grandmother asked from there?" What about the Su family? ”

"The subordinates are afraid that grandma will be in a hurry, so they go back to the house to report first." Yu Shiheng also replied in a low voice, "Before coming back, my subordinates had already sent someone to Old Madam Duanmu - but my subordinates forgot about the Su family, and asked my grandmother to punish them!" ”

Song Yixiao understood what he meant, the so-called fear that he would be in a hurry, in fact, he was afraid that Jian Xubai really had three long and two short words, just the manpower of Yanhou Mansion, it was impossible for him to rush into the palace to save Jian Xubai, it was better to hurry back to the house to remind the master, it was really not good, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that Yanhou Mansion was not attacked, and rescue the mastermother and the little master first!

As for not contacting the Su family, of course Yu Shiheng is just a guard in the end, without the permission of the master, how dare he rashly catch the thorn in the side of Emperor Duanhua?!

"It's not just the husband who hasn't come back now!" Song Yi smiled and said, "The others seem to be still at the palace banquet - Cousin Xu and Third Brother Lu can also say that they have a good relationship with our house, regardless of the Hengshan Palace, the Spring Lane Garden is where Gu Xiang lives, and these people are all still in the palace, so it is impossible for them to be detained by His Majesty!" ”

"But it is also possible that His Majesty's move to detain the Hou Ye caused controversy among the ministers!" Although Yu Shiheng is not taciturn, he is not a talkative person, and when he argues with his mother at this moment, he is worried in his heart, and whispers, "In the opinion of my subordinates, for the safety of grandma and the county lord, I also ask grandma to leave the house immediately with the county lord to avoid the limelight!" ”

He revealed, "Master Hou has long asked his subordinates to quietly buy a house in the east of the city, which is recorded in someone else's name, and there are usually people who live there, and they are all credible people!" Grandma will leave the house at night and go there to stay temporarily, if the Hou Ye returns safely, he will come back quietly when the time comes. In case of...... The subordinates said that in case, the county lord is still so small. ”

Yu Shiheng's proposal is not unreasonable, no one knows what happened in the palace now, maybe it was a false alarm, maybe it was already a war - if it was the former, it would be fine; If it is the latter, Song Yixiao's mother and daughter will escape alive, which is better than the entire Yanhou Mansion being served in one pot.

It's just that Song Yixiao thought of what he said in case Rao is usually a city government, and she is also a little dizzy at the moment: since she and Jian Xubai got married, although there were some stumbles at first, they are generally affectionate and loving, and the relationship between husband and wife is deep.

Originally, I thought that Emperor Duanhua was now full of energy to deal with King Su, even if he had begun to suspect Yanhou Mansion, he might not be able to attack Yanhou Mansion at this moment - who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and he was fine before going out, but he didn't know if he would be able to see people in the future......

She pinched her palms, but her eyes were still uncontrollably full of tears.

"Grandma, this matter can't be delayed!" Yu Shiheng knew her mood, but he had to urge, his eyes swept over the hostess's unbulging lower abdomen very obviously, and said in a low voice, "If you drag it out, in case someone comes......"

Although Jian Xubai and his wife only have one daughter under their knees, Jian Qingyue, the county lord of Chaoping, Song Yixiao is pregnant now, maybe it is a male heir?

In this way, as long as their mother and daughter are protected, Jian Xubai can leave a lineage to pass on, and it will not be extinct.

This is also the only thing Yu Shiheng can do now.

"You go to the children's yard......" Song Yixiao was sad and sad, but she was not a person who didn't know the severity, she held back her tears and said in a trembling voice, "They have just gone to resettle, this will be ......"

Yu Shiheng heard her say "children", and frowned slightly: he only planned to secretly send away Song Yixiao and Jian Qingyue, at most, plus Moss Jin and Bell, the two people who served Song Yixiao closely, but he didn't plan to bring Lu Zhuoer and Song Xuan with him!

After all, these two children are not very old, and after they are brought with them, they must be taken care of and protected, which is tantamount to increasing the chance of trouble and exposure - not to mention that these two children are not the flesh and blood of the Jian Xubai couple, Lu Zhuoer, the lord of Xinling County, is the biological daughter of King Hengshan, and Emperor Duanhua will not touch her unless he wants to kill the Hengshan Palace, at most he will send her back to the Hengshan Palace.

As for Song Xuan, his father is not famous now, and he is the righteous son recognized by Song Yixiao, if he is left behind, he will inevitably suffer.

But in order to ensure the safety of Song Yixiao's mother and daughter, Yu Shiheng felt that it was better not to have more of this burden - in the end, he was the guard of Yanhou Mansion, and he had the responsibility and obligation to keep his family small for Yanhou, who did not know his life and death at the moment, this time was not the time for him to be kind from his original intention!

So he raised his head and interrupted Song Yixiao's words: "Grandma, we have few people, and the house in the east of the city is not big, but I am afraid that we will not be able to accommodate the county lord and Song Gongzi!" ”

"Those two children are only so old, it's okay to be carried away by two guards!" Song Yixiao was in a hurry when she heard this, "Why can't you spare your hand?" As for the house over there, it's not big, it doesn't matter, just let the three children sleep in one room, and they are still young! ”

If Song Xuan stays, he will definitely not end well, although this righteous son is so estranged from Song Yixiao's blood that he can be said to be a stranger, in the end, he has been raised under his knees for these days, Song Xuan has always been sensible and obedient, even in the mind of Song Yixiao, the stepmother, he can't compare with his biological daughter Jian Qingyue, but he can't do anything to leave him behind.

As for Lu Zhuo'er, not to mention, although it may not be dangerous for this sister to stay, but what kind of attitude the Hengshan Royal Mansion has towards this eight-county lord has already made Song Yixiao feel cold - unless Lu Guanyun grows up enough to take care of his sister, it is impossible for Song Yixiao to let her sister go back to the palace with confidence!

So she said urgently, "What's more, what should I do if I leave them alone in the middle of the night and scare them like this?!" ”

"Grandma." Yu Shiheng's tone was calm, but in his raised eyes, there was a resolute look, and he said lightly, "The house over there is really small, because even Jinxun and the child, his subordinates can't spare their hands to bring them over!" ”

The implication is that even his wife and son are ready to abandon it this time!

Song Yixiao suddenly lost his voice.

After a short stalemate between the master and servant, Yu Shiheng was about to persuade again, but he didn't want to suddenly hear a rush of footsteps outside-Song Yixiao and Yu Shiheng were both startled, listening carefully, worried that they didn't know what news was coming?

But when he heard the footsteps under the porch, he whispered to the moss brocade and the bell outside for a while, and the bell came over and knocked on the door: "Grandma, the slave has something to say!" ”

Her tone was a little solemn, but she wasn't in a hurry, and it wouldn't be too bad news.

This is exactly the case - after the bell came in, he said something that Song Yixiao and Yu Shiheng did not expect: "The carriage came to the back door with someone, handed this token in, and said that he asked grandma and the three little masters to pack up and leave quickly!" ”

The token was taken by Yu Shiheng, and after looking at it a few times, he presented it to Song Yixiao suspiciously.

Song Yi looked at the token with a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Go and get the small rosewood box under my dressing table in the inner room!" ”

The bell hurriedly stepped in and got it, but saw Song Yixiao open the box and take out a very similar token inside, after the two pieces were put together, there was a slight sound, and it was actually a perfect fit - on the closed token, it was a complete ancient seal.

"Wind".

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the secret guard "follows the wind".
