"Funeral?"

He Angelica pretended to be puzzled, but his eyes looked at Qi Mu'er, and he never imagined that she would have such insight. Ordinary women only care about temporary glory and favor, and they are tied up by immediate interests, and few people will think of that. Unexpectedly, a seemingly pretentious Qi Mu'er foresaw this step, which is really unseemly.

"Yes, I'm still young, and I don't want to spend my life in this place." Qi Mu'er said with a resolute face, "Compared to He Jieyu and Luo Baiqiong, you can help me more, so I want to cooperate with you." ”

He Danggui also wanted to give her a try, and said with a smile: "The funeral you are worried about is unfounded." Since the Shang Dynasty, the funeral rites have flourished in the violent Qin, and there are very few in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The former Yuan people were barbarians, who controlled the dynasty with an iron fist and used the Han people as funeral goods, which cannot be calculated according to common sense. And in my opinion, today's saints are enlightened and come from peasant backgrounds, so he may not be able to do things that are not civilized. ”

"No, you haven't lived in the palace and will never understand my fears." Qi Mu'er said, "To say something disrespectful, the emperor is not in a normal sense, and sometimes he is no different from a madman." When Prince Yiwen returned to heaven, the emperor asked all the concubines and palace maids in the East Palace to accompany the burial, and those who didn't want to die and run away couldn't even keep the whole body. I don't want to end up like that. ”

He Danggui squinted and smiled, and said: "That's his old man's grief for the loss of his son, and I can't generalize about it, but since Cousin Qi has the ambition to leave the palace and refuses to be a peaceful concubine, I can't force it." I just don't know what you want me to do for you, and what can you do for me? ”

The footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer, and Qi Mu'er and He Angelica both heard it. Qi Mu'er stuffed the beauty fan that she had held in her hand for two days into He Angelica's arms, and quickly put on the veil, and then someone came out from behind the rockery, it was Luo Baiqiong and a maid.

"Okay, if you change places, you'll be exquisite, and you'll have a smooth ride!" Luo Baiqiong saw that the two of them were together, and when she came up, she sneered, "Qi Mu'er, don't treat me as a fool, thinking that you can climb above me by doing some things behind my back." The daughter of a mere salt merchant, she can't help herself! ”

Qi Mu'er didn't know if she was really scared to cry or pretending to cry, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she said worriedly: "Don't get me wrong, Niangniang, I just want to find that handkerchief for you, and I don't mean to be disrespectful." ”

He Angelica persuaded with concern: "They are all their own sisters, and it is not a joke to make noise in this place and let outsiders see it." I heard that the second sister sprained her foot? Then you have to see the imperial doctor as soon as possible, in case the emperor wants to see the flowers immediately after returning to the palace, what if the second sister can't jump out. ”

Luo Baiqiong glanced at He Angelica deeply, turned her head and left, Qi Mu'er hurriedly caught up with her, and was careful behind. Luo Baiqiong's maid didn't move, looking at He Angelica with blank eyes, looking very eager to speak.

He Angelica looked at the maid's description, it turned out to be Chai Yutu's personal maid Rose, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, the master has changed?" ”

Rose twisted the sachet and replied solemnly: "How dare a lowly slave like us make a second choice to change the master, everything is the grace given by the master." Concubine Mengluo could afford it, rewarded the slave and maid for a mouthful of food, and also took the matter of playing chess with the county lord last night, so that the slave and maid could refer to it. After hearing this, the slave told Concubine Luo that the county lord was a capable person, and she and Niangniang were sisters who grew up together and were trustworthy. The mother listened to the advice of the slave maid, so she sent the slave maid to talk to the county lord. ”

After saying this string of tongue twisters, Luo Baiqiong in front called someone, and Rose hurriedly gave a half-salute, and then ran away. He Angelica listened to the cicadas on the branches for a while, went to the grove to find the mints, and ordered: "You should go back from the ground the same way, and I will go out through the main gate." I still have to come back to this place for a few days, if I let Zhu Yunwen know that I have a shortcut, his mansion will be on guard, and it will be difficult for you to come in again in the future. ”

"Childe is waiting for you at home, do you still plan to come back?" Yitong asked in surprise.

"It's 'spending all day, drinking, and waiting'." Mint corrected.

"No, no," Yi Tong waved his hand again and again to correct for fear of angering He Angelica, "She said part right, but she said a lot wrong, Gongzi did have a new concubine room, and he did drink every day, but these two are absolutely separate—he has never drunk at his aunt's, absolutely!" ”

His strengthened tone had no effect on He Angelica, who hung down his long eyelashes like a small fan, and said lightly: "Go out and talk about it, you three be careful." ”

Yi Yi asked worriedly: "The eldest grandson of the emperor refuses to let you out, so how can he let you out?" ”

"Don't worry, I've found something good in his study." He Angelica showed a bright token, the prince's mansion order, which can only be blamed on Zhu Yunwen for being too careless in putting things.

Coming out of the house, a gray canopy carriage waited two streets away, and the two of them rushed to the car, and Mint took out the watermelon lotus seed cup from the basket to cool the heat, the soft and delicious yam cake, and the sour plum soup with the flesh of the small wild fruit. He Angelica was tired of eating the meals in the East Palace for a long time, and was thinking about this, eating bowl by bowl, and the heat gradually decreased.

"Don't go back to Meng's Mansion yet," she instructed, "go to Nie's house, and then go to Qing'er's newly opened Taibai Chicken Silk Restaurant, don't pass through Meng's Mansion on the way, and don't let Meng Xuan and the others know my whereabouts." ”

"Yes~~County Lord~~" The three of them replied in unison, surprisingly obedient, and there was not a single voice of opposition.

She took out the fan that Qi Mu'er stuffed her to study, and didn't find any mystery, it was a very ordinary picture of a lady picking lotus, without a poem inscription, and she couldn't see anything special. Looking at it, He Angelica's eyes were dry, and he took a nap crookedly. Mint hurriedly tilted her back into a pillow, and took a thin quilt to drape it over her.

The carriage under her shook regularly, and she gradually fell asleep, feeling that something was wrong, but she could not tell, and the darkness completely surrounded her.

Until she woke up and found herself lying on a crimson embroidered couch, and when Mint fed her the mint and green salt that she rinsed, He Angelica's brain was still dull, and she didn't know what was going on, she only felt that this sleep was too long, and she had never planned such a long journey.

"Is this the Nie family, or is this a restaurant?" He Angelica looked at the furnishings around him and asked suspiciously.

"This is our home," Mint's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon shape, but her eyes avoided her, "Miss, are you tired on the road?" Sleep well first, and the slave maid will go and see what is in the kitchen. ”

Still sleeping? He Angelica frowned, feeling the unusual sleepiness in his body, pinched the middle finger and little finger of his left hand, and felt a slight throbbing pain, which was a sign of being drugged. Looking at Mint's empty expression again, my heart suddenly brightened, okay, good girl! The calculation came to the master's head.

It is possible to make Mint, Yitong, and Yiyi conspire to calculate her at the same time, there is only one such person in the world, and what is happening now is also very in line with that person's style, first cut and then play. There is always no negotiation, only a conclusion.

"Hmph." He Angelica fell back on the pillow, squinted his eyes and asked, "Where are the three of you?" Where are the others? What kind of place is this, do I still need to work to get out of bed and find out the truth? ”

Mint knew that the young lady was smart, and since she asked such a thing, she couldn't hide anything from her.

"Miss is angry, my uncle is doing this completely for Miss's good, otherwise the slave and maid will not lie to Miss with Yitong and them. You've taken a lot of drugs, so drink a lot of soup to wash them off, and you'll be so angry that you'll wait until you've rested! Mint pleaded, "These days, the capital has become more and more dangerous, even the slaves and maids have heard that the emperor is about to die, but there are several candidates for the new prince, how can you go and intervene again, Miss?" Let's stay out of the limelight at home! ”

"Where is this?" He Angelica asked.

"Yes...... Qing Yuan. Mint replied cautiously.

"Qingyuan?!" He Angelica's eyes widened, "In other words, you didn't squeak and took me to Yangzhou?" ”

"Miss is angry," Mint tried to distract He Angelica with food, "What Yangzhou food do you want to eat?" If you want to eat Yangzhou food, you have to come to Yangzhou in person to eat authentically, Yitong said that there were just two imperial dining room chiefs back to their hometowns, so they invited them to Qingyuan to do things, and made a good dish, Miss, are you hungry? ”

Goo Goo –

Although He Angelica has not yet calmed down, he didn't expect to be put on the table at this critical moment, but his stomach, which had not eaten for two days, protested very honestly.

No, at this time, she should be active in the capital, investigate the cause of her mother's death, and put Zhu Yunwen on the throne, so that Zhu Yunwen can "gently" remove the entire structure of Jinyi Mansion, instead of waiting for the joint performance of the imperial history, and then use violence to solve the hidden dangers of the factory guard, in that case, those people in Lu Jiangbei will be implicated.

If it is carried out according to the trajectory of her previous life, within seven days will be Zhu Yuanzhang's limit, and when the time comes, everything will be different, how can she be absent at this time? Thinking about it, Meng Xuan also knew all about these major events that had been interpreted once, so he deliberately turned her away at this moment. However, this is her own decision, why should she be swayed by others?

"By the way, this is a letter from my uncle to Miss, Miss read it slowly, and the slave maid went to arrange the dishes for dinner." Mint handed over the letterhead and hurried away.

He Angelica's eyes narrowed dangerously, Zla tore open the envelope, and only two words were written on the reticulated rice paper of the landscape painting.

Wait for me.

What is the explanation for this? She crumpled the paper into a ball, and walked out of the bedroom dizzily despite the maid's obstruction, and was stunned when she looked back at the outer wall of the building. This isn't ...... The bamboo building with green bamboo and jasper that is exactly the same as in the dream?

"Seventh grandmother, that crazy woman from the garden next door is messing around again, it's very noisy here, you better go in." The maidservants tried hard to persuade, "When the seventh master comes back, we won't be able to explain." ”
