The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the Southern Chu mission was coming, which made Duan Rubian a little excited, it was snowing lightly outside, Duan Rubian sat in the pavilion by the lake, watching the first snow fall on the frozen lake, piling up snow.

The clear sky was not far away, staring at Duan Rufang's side face intently. White and beautiful, elegant as a chrysanthemum, with brains and scheming, except for an identity that cannot be put on the stage, Duan Rubian is undoubtedly the most perfect candidate for the princess, and more importantly, she is the only woman the prince has cared about in the past few years.

There was movement behind him, Qingkong frowned, quickly turned around, the needle in his sleeve slid to the palm of his hand, emitting a seeping light, chasing the wind was still an ice cube face, glanced at the needle in her palm, and raised his lips, "I know that I am still so cautious......"

"Just because it's you, you have to be cautious," Clear Sky narrowed her eyes, "If you want to hurt her for the sake of Kita-gun, don't blame me for turning my face!"

Chasing the wind smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry, I won't harm her......"

Clear Sky put away the silver needle and clasped his hands to his chest, "When did you think it through? Could it be that Beijun has a complete showdown with you?"

Chasing the wind frowned and said no more.

Green Key looked for Duan Rufang for a long time, only to find that Duan Rufang was enjoying the scenery in the gazebo, breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and before he got close to Duan Rufang, he was blocked in the middle of the road by the clear sky and chasing the wind, the clear sky had never seen the green key, looked at her cautiously, and said, "Who are you!"

Green Key slowly leaned over, "Girl don't worry, the slave is the maid Green Key next to the eldest lady, the eldest lady asked the third lady to go out to buy words, send me to invite the third lady over"

Qingtian's face was even colder, the eldest lady's maid, what good thing is there for such a woman to go out with Duan Rufang......

"You ......"

Before he could blurt out the words, Duan Rubian came slowly from not far away, raising his white neck, like a white swan, the green key covered the amazement in his eyes, bowed his head and said, "Slave Bitongxuan green key, I came to invite the third lady on the order of the eldest lady."

"Please me?" Duan Rubian raised his eyebrows, "What does the eldest sister ask me to do?"

"Soon after, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the eldest lady was going to buy some gifts for the Queen Mother, and specially invited the third lady to go with her."

After the green key finished coldly, he stood in place and waited for Duan Rufang to reply, Duan Rubian glanced at the center of the lake, such a beautiful scenery is rare, but compared to Duan Ruhua's invitation, she is still more interested.

Duan Ruying smiled, "The green key girl leads the way"

Qingkong couldn't disobey Duan Rufang's order, so he had to obediently follow behind Duan Rufang.

Chasing Feng looked around, something seemed to be flickering between his eyes, pursed his lips, and stepped to follow.

Duan Ruhua was standing at the door of Duan's mansion at this time, waiting for Duan Rufang's arrival, and after a while, the figure appeared in front of him, with a goose-yellow skirt, a cloak on his coat, long hair scattered at will, and every move was carried with a reserved and noble shelf, which made people look up.

Duan Ruhua's heart was stunned, her jade fingers trembled, she seemed to underestimate this woman's ability......

"Sister" Duan Ruhua covered up the discomfort in her heart, and stepped forward with a constant elegant smile, "I hope my sister didn't disturb my sister's purity."

Duan Rufang blessed her body, and her voice was faint, "Sister thinks too much, and buys a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, this kind of thing Sister can remind her sister, and Sister should say thank you."

Duan Ruhua nodded, took her hand and walked down the steps, "It's not early, the two of us will go early and return early."

Qingtian and Chasing Wind immediately stepped forward, following Duan Rujian's footsteps, Duan Ruhua suddenly stopped, smiled and patted the back of Duan Rubian's hand, "Sister, the two of us can go on this trip, my sister still wants to chat with my sister, these maid guards might as well stay in the house."

"That's not good" Qingtian immediately spoke, even forgetting that she was just a little maid at the moment, she was just worried about Duan Rubian's safety, "If you meet a villain, it will be dangerous, Miss ...... a few times ago"

"Enough!" Duan Rubian interrupted coldly, frowning with displeasure, "You guys stay, my sister and I will be fine."

Qingkong was stunned, he couldn't even say anything to refute, he stupidly looked at Duan Rubian and turned away, Duan Ruhua and Duan Rubian sat in a sedan chair differently, looking at the smile on the corner of Duan Ruhua's mouth, Duan Rubian knew that this trip was definitely not simple, when he put down the sedan curtain with his hands, Duan Rubian glanced at the clear sky with deep meaning, and then sat down in the sedan chair upright.

The carriage gradually moved away, and the green key returned to the house, Qingtian squinted his eyes and pulled the sleeve of Chasing Wind, "I'll follow first, you go and find Zhuyun and Qinghe"

Chasing the wind motionless, staring at the side face of the clear sky in surprise, the clear sky saw that he didn't understand what he meant, so he had to frown and explain, "Duan Ruhua said that he wanted to chat alone with Miss, but he didn't sit in a sedan chair with Miss, just now Miss looked at me when she put down the sedan curtain, just to remind us that this trip is wrong, I'm afraid that Duan Ruhua will find someone to harm Miss, and it's better for us to act together."

Chasing the wind lowered his head silently, Qingkong was anxious to wait for his reaction, only to see him hum, turned around and entered the house, Qingkong bit his mouth, she always felt that Chasing Wind was very wrong today...... But with such a top priority, the clear sky didn't have time to think about it, and immediately chased after it.

Duan Rubian sat in the sedan chair and looked around, the furnishings in the sedan chair were very simple, nothing out of the ordinary, incense was burning in the lavender in front of her, but it made Duan Rubian frown, she took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and slightly opened the curtain to breathe.

There is nothing wrong with the surrounding scene, and there are many people on the street, all of whom are buying things for the New Year, and they are harmonious and lively.

The sedan chair stopped in front of a shop, Duan Rubian frowned, put away the handkerchief, glanced at the lavender stove, frowned slightly, could it be that she made a mistake......

Duan Rubian helped the sedan chair to get off the sedan chair, Duan Ruhua smiled slowly at her, and walked into the house one step ahead of her, Duan Rubian glanced not far away, just saw the clear sky pretending to be shopping for vegetables and her eyes were facing each other, Duan Rubian made up his mind and walked into the Treasure Pavilion.

The shopkeeper was settling accounts, and when he saw that Duan Ruhua was coming, he narrowed his eyes very attentively, "The little one has seen Miss Duan"

"Shopkeeper Zhang is more polite" Duan Ruhua waved his hand, "I came here today for the birthday gift of the Queen Mother, has Shopkeeper Zhang had a good baby recently?"

"A birthday gift for the Queen Mother" The shopkeeper Zhang twisted his chin and shook his head, "There are a lot of treasures, but the dignified Queen Mother, how can you look at our birthday gifts for these small transactions, the eldest lady should move it, if the Queen Mother is not happy, won't my small shop be closed"

Looking at the shopkeeper's embarrassed look, it didn't seem to be pretending, Duan Rubian became even more suspicious, looking at Duan Ruhua's side face with a smile still on her face, she couldn't guess what medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm also an old customer, it's not good for you to fool me" Duan Ruhua squinted and smiled, seemed to be displeased, and pointed to the painting on the wall, "This painting is the work of the famous painter He Yan in the previous dynasty, it is rumored that He Yan burned all his paintings when he died, this one is the only one left, this painting is priceless, Shopkeeper Zhang dares to hang it out, is there no better treasure?"

"This ......" The shopkeeper's lie was exposed, and he hesitated for a while, and shook his head in embarrassment, "Hey, Miss, the little one didn't mean it, but the big money owner came to the private room upstairs, and said that he wanted to buy the treasure I bought newly, I was afraid that the eldest lady would ...... you."

"It's not difficult" Duan Ruhua interrupted, "You might as well let us meet that person, whoever the two of us pay is higher, then the baby will be given to whom, what do you say?"

"Okay, good, little one will lead you up"

Shopkeeper Zhang made a gesture of please and welcomed Duan Ruhua upstairs.

Duan Ruhua smiled with satisfaction, turned to look at Duan Rujian, "Third sister, let's go"

Duan Rubian pursed his lips and strode up, it seems that the next step is the main event, it seems that this shopkeeper doesn't seem to know, Duan Rubian looked at his feet, the corners of his mouth raised a curvature, I want to see what kind of means you can come up with......

The shopkeeper led the way and led them to the innermost private room, where a faint fragrance wafted out, but strangely no one was inside.

"Shopkeeper, you won't be coaxing us......" Duan Rubian glanced at the shopkeeper and asked lukewarmly.

"The little one doesn't dare to coax Miss Duan's family" The shopkeeper Zhang leaned over and saluted, "That person said he would come in a while, the two young ladies should wait for a while."

Duan Ruhua happily responded, but Duan Rubian sang the opposite tune, "Eldest sister, this shopkeeper is not sincere, I think this eighty percent is also a ploy, let's go to another house to see, okay?"

Duan Ruhua's face changed, and he waved his hand with a smile, "My sister is too worried, I am also acquainted with Shopkeeper Zhang, how could he harm me, let's wait quietly, Shopkeeper Zhang, there is a pot of tea for us"

"Okay, the two of you sit slowly" The shopkeeper Zhang answered, closed the door and exited, Duan Rubian sniffed the aroma in the room, glanced at Duan Ruhua with a strange smile and said, "Sister, this incense, it's so fragrant."

Duan Ruhua blinked, also took a breath, and praised with a smile, "What the third sister said is good, it is indeed fragrant, I will ask the shopkeeper in a while, what kind of incense it is, I will also ask for some Ming'er"

Seeing her so bold, Duan Rubian put his mind at ease, quietly observed the structure of the house, and waited for the shopkeeper to send tea, and after a while, a small servant knocked on the door with a teapot, Duan Rubian frowned, "Didn't you say that the shopkeeper sent it?"

"Back to Miss, our shopkeeper has a business, so let the small one come to send" The tea giver smiled kindly, and couldn't see anything wrong, but this caused Duan Rufang's vigilance, Zhang shopkeeper didn't entertain them just now, because there was a noble person who wanted to buy his best treasure, he was afraid that someone would take it, but now he went to entertain others, and the result was not a contradiction?

Looking at the teapot in front of him, Duan Ruhua didn't start for a long time, and the tea delivery guy went down quickly, Duan Ruhua picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and drank it alone, ignoring Duan Rubian's somewhat gloomy face.

The two sat for a while, and there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the shopkeeper Zhang sounded, "Miss Duan, the noble man has just arrived, and I want to meet you alone."

Duan Ruhua and Duan Rubian glanced at each other, Duan Ruhua got up and said with a smile, "Sister sits first, sister will come when she goes"

With that, he pushed the door and went out.

There was only one person left in the house, the tea in front of him was steaming, Duan Rubian pulled out the hairpin on his head and tested the poison, and found that the silver hairpin did not turn black, he couldn't help frowning, but he still didn't drink it, and some poison lists could not be detected by the silver hairpin.

The room seemed to be a little hot, Duan Rubian got up and walked to the window, wanting to open the window, only to find that the window was inlaid with dead, looking down through the hollow pattern, there was only a carriage parked in front of the door, and there was no shadow of the clear sky anywhere!

Duan Rufang's heart tugged, and she reflexively ran to the door, but after taking two steps, her head began to be dizzy, Duan Rufang supported her body and shook her head in disbelief, impossible, obviously she and Duan Ruhua have been here for so long......

Before he could figure out this question, Duan Rubian fell to the ground, unconscious.
