"Hey, Meng Xuan! Meng Xuan! Do you know where Xiaoyi went? I can't find her anywhere! ”

In the garden of Mengfu, Qing'er shouted loudly from ten zhang away.

Although Meng Xuan was so sad that she couldn't speak, she immediately noticed that the "third sister-in-law", who had always been plump, had obviously lost weight. If he remembered correctly, when he saw Qing'er the day before yesterday, she was like the two of them now.

Qing'er scratched her ears and said distressedly: "It's not good! I have a bad premonition, Xiao Yi shouldn't have an accident, right? When I heard that she was grounded, I went to look for her in the temple, but when I didn't find her, I went down the secret passage into a secret room and saw an old woman feeding the turtle! Meng Xuan, do you know that there is a very large turtle in the Meng Mansion? Does that turtle eat people? Xiaoyi shouldn't have been eaten by it, right? ”

Meng Xuan waved her hand and said, "She's fine, leave for two days temporarily", and then turned around and left. Qing'er saw Meng Xuan's strange attitude, and chased after her and asked questions. Meng Xuan didn't answer anything, and walked forward, and a woman in white stood up in the middle of the road, and her delicate and timid figure blocked the way. Meng Xuan ignored it and walked around the woman, but his pace was too fast, and his shoulder just brushed the woman, causing the woman to tilt backwards.

The woman let out a low cry and fell on the bluestone beside the road, her white palm pressed on the edge of the stone peak, and red blood spilled out. Meng Xuan didn't mean to stop, didn't even raise his eyelids, picked up his feet and left.

Qing'er didn't believe that Meng Xuan was so bad, she didn't help anyone when she knocked him down, and shouted with her waist crossed: "Hey, you're okay, right?" Their hands are bleeding! You don't even say sorry? ”

However, the face in front of him was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and the straight figure walked away in an instant, and Qing'er only had dry eyes. What's the matter? Meng Xuan was not interested in her image of suddenly losing twenty pounds, and she still had a stinky face, as if someone owed him a hundred or dozens of taels of silver, how did Xiaoyi teach her husband?

"Hey, girl, are you alright?" Qing'er helped the woman in white up roughly, grabbed her palm and looked at it, the injury was very serious, and the skin and flesh were turned up. "Oh my God, you're in pain, aren't you? Meng Xuan is a shameless man, he actually left after hitting someone, and those who don't know still think that he has a grudge against you! ”

The woman in white was so painful that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, biting her lip flap tightly, and tears in the corners of her eyes. Qing'er took a closer look, her face was beautiful, her skin was crystal clear, her eyes like autumn water flashed with a timid and panicked light, and her expression was so good, she was actually a stunning beauty, even compared with He Angelica! Oh my God, the men in Meng's mansion are all so handsome that they are dizzying, how can even the beauties of Allure be seen everywhere? Who is she?

Seeing that the woman in white is seventeen or eighteen years old, she should not be Meng Xuan and Meng Ying's sister, and the famous masters, grandmothers, grandmothers and aunts in the house, Qing'er almost recognizes them, and she doesn't remember that there is such an outstanding character.

Qing'er helped the woman bandage the wound with a handkerchief and persuaded: "Girl, don't be like Meng Xuan, I'll ask him to apologize to you when I go back." ”

The woman hung her head and wept, and as soon as she spoke, her voice was extremely pleasant: "No, Zixiao is a person who has made a big mistake, and she has long dared not ask the seventh master for forgiveness, Meng Fu is willing to take me in and let me plant flowers and dry the medicine in the medicine house, Zixiao is already very grateful." ”

"Your name is Zixiao?" Qing'er asked with a smile, "What a beautiful name, as beautiful as your person." You are from the Mon province...... Servant girl? I feel that her temperament is better than He Angelica, elegant and ethereal, and completely unrelated to the maid. Could it be some relative of the Meng family?

The woman named Zixiao nodded, suddenly let out a low cry, and fell to the ground again.

"Are you alright?" Qing'er hurriedly held her arm, and when the two were close, a faint floral fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, Qing'er sniffed twice, and asked suspiciously, "Do you use worry-free incense?" How do you know how to go with this kind of incense? ”

The woman bowed her head and said, "Zixiao has never heard of any worry-free incense, this is the 'Thousand Grass Cold Cave' prepared by myself, if Miss Liao likes it, I can give you some." But my foot seems to be sprained, Miss Liao, can you send me back to the medicine store? I can't seem to walk back on my own. ”

"Of course you can, you should, how do you get to the medicine house?"

"Follow this path and you'll be there." The woman's beautiful face broke out in a few drops of cold sweat.

On the way back to send her back, Qing'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Zixiao, why do you know me?" I've never seen you before. ”

Zixiao smiled lightly: "Miss Liao and the county lord of Qingning are good friends, I can often see you together in the mansion, I am just an insignificant maid, how can you notice me, Miss Liao?" Even the Seventh Master ...... him."

She hung her head, unable to see her expression clearly, only her graceful neck. Qing'er couldn't help but feel a little pity, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, let's heal the injury first, and then I will ask Meng Xuan to make amends to you." Today is really evil, Xiao Yi can't be found anywhere in the house, Meng Xuan ignores people, alas, if Xiao Yi is here, one needle will pierce you! ”

"Seventh Grandma...... Not in the house? Zixiao asked tentatively.

Qing'er smiled even more in surprise and asked, "Do you still know that Grandma Seven's nickname is Xiaoyi?" Are you really just a maid in Mengfu? ”

"I'm sorry, I guessed." Zixiao timidly bowed his head.

"Silly girl, this is also worth apologizing? Don't say it, come, I'll carry you to the medicine store, so fast! ”

stayed in the Yan Wangfu for two days, but did not see Princess Yan, who was said to miss her very much, He Angelica finally offered his farewell. Pu Cao hurried to save her, trying to persuade her to stay for a few more days and admire the daffodils that were about to bloom in the garden of the palace, when Princess Yan's farewell gift came.

It's actually two sets of big wool clothes. One with mink fur and the other with rabbit fur, the size and style are very suitable, but now it is a dog summer day, who will wear a big wool cape? What kind of dumb riddle is Princess Yan playing?

He Angelica accepted the gift, left the palace with the maid lotus lotus, walked on the street in a purple silk sedan chair, visited a few rouge shops and jade shops, and she felt as if someone was following her. To test her instincts, she told the palanquin bearers to go into a secluded alley, where a few gangsters jumped off the wall with knives and guns.

"Hand over all the things, and leave this woman behind!" The leading thug stopped the entrance of the alley with a smile, and pointed the knife straight at the lotus root who followed behind the sedan chair. These people burst into laughter and foul language.

The sedan chair drivers panicked, and the lotus root grabbed the sedan door and cried: "Grandma help, I can't go with these people!" I've already promised others, and I don't want to live if I am taken away by these people, grandma should find a way to save the slave and maid! ”

He Angelica frowned, she felt that someone was following the sedan chair, but she didn't expect it to be just a few thieves who robbed the road. For a moment now, that cold aura locked on her, making her heart feel cold, and it was definitely not something that a few thieves could do. Could it be that something was wrong with her senses?

"Ladies and gentlemen, this girl is my maidservant, what's so good about being clumsy. The silver and things are here, please take the things and let us two weak women go. While speaking, He Angelica pushed open the sedan curtain and walked out, and his bright face looked at the eyes of a few gangsters.

A group of big men looked at He Angelica greedily and wanted to kidnap her too, but the gangsters led by him had some insight and knew that there were many high-ranking ladies in the capital who could never be provoked, which was completely different from the nature of ordinary robbery. Seeing that his subordinates were about to move, he hurriedly shouted: "This woman can't move, grab that maid, take the box of gems and withdraw, quickly!" ”

The thugs looked at her two more times before they followed the leader's instructions and took away the things with their hands and feet, and one of them cut off the lotus lotus's hands and dragged her away, and in the end, no one dared to touch He Angelica.

He Angelica could easily get rid of these people, but he let them go without saying a word.

Lotus Root cried at first and begged He Angelica to save her, but later found out that He Angelica was just "hiding" behind the sedan chair, obviously for self-preservation, and gave up her as an insignificant maid. The lotus root was held by the gangsters, struggled and scolded: "What a cold-blooded seventh grandmother, master and servant, I beg you like this, you actually don't save you when you die, you are so cold-blooded and have no good end!" She turned to the thugs and yelled, "She's so much more handsome than me, why don't you catch her?" ”

Of course, the gangster leader wouldn't tell it, he didn't dare to kidnap the lady and miss of a big family, and scolded with a black face: "Stinky girl, no matter how much you want, Lao Tzu scratched your face!" The group of people laughed and shouted, and He Angelica stood alone, looking at their backs indifferently.

She listened intently to the movement at the entrance of the alley, and the chaotic footsteps were intercepted by a neat group of footsteps, and the two sides exchanged evil voices, and then a fight began.

After a collision of fists and feet, eight officials dressed in blue and blue satin official clothes sent back the frightened lotus root. At the end of this group stood ...... Zhu Yunwen! He is what makes He Angelica feel awkward all the way.

He Angelica's eyelids jumped twice, and before he could say anything, Zhu Yunwen had already walked closer and greeted her with a smile: "Cousin of the county lord, the capital is really small, I have been hearing people mention you some time ago, saying that you are good at medicine, and you can meet you when you go out shopping, what a fate!" ”

He Angelica curtsied and thanked him, saying, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, he came to the rescue and repelled these small people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

But I thought in my heart that those who came were not good and those who were good did not come, and Zhu Yunwen must have a purpose in secretly following her. Sure enough, his purpose was said: "It's all a family, why should my cousin be polite, in fact, I still have something to ask for for my brother." Our imperial grandfather's dragon body is heavy, and the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital are helpless, so I want to invite you to enter the palace to treat the imperial grandfather. ”

He Angelica immediately excused himself and said: "I am also very sad when the emperor's grandfather is sick, but my ability is mediocre, and I can only treat some minor diseases." The people in the hospital are all my seniors, how dare I be presumptuous in front of them? ”

"Cousin doesn't have to be modest, then it's decided, everything is up to cousin." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand with a smile and ordered, "Come on, prepare the car again, and take the county lord into the East Palace!" ”
