PS: The previous chapter has been filled with three thousand words

Duan Rubian lowered his eyes, and his voice was faint, "And then?"

"Fortunately, it was found in time, if it was found a few days later, your brother would be dead" Feng Changqing narrowed his eyes, "According to Qinglian's recent observations, the most suspicious thing is that Caiyue."

"How?"

"Qinglian always finds that she leaves in the middle of the night and comes back half an hour later, and she knows martial arts, which is on par with Qingcurtain" After Feng Changqing finished speaking, he saw Duan Rufang crushing the teacup in his hand with a fierce face, and the tea in the cup flowed to his hand, burning red, Feng Changqing frowned, "You'd better find out, otherwise your brother's life is not enough to die"

Duan Rubian took the handkerchief handed over by Feng Changqing, wiped his palm, and nodded silently, "What are you going to do with that medicine?"

"Don't worry, I'll open another pair, and by the way, I'll remind your brother to be more careful, but don't worry, I won't say it's Caiyue's"

"Thank you, I'll ask Qinghe to send the silver in a while" Duan Rubian nodded at Feng Changqing, got up and left, Feng Changqing called Duan Rubian and handed her the oil-paper umbrella that was put down at the door, "I just had a cold wind, let's hold the umbrella."

Duan Rubian nodded, took the umbrella and walked into the wind and snow, disappearing from sight.

After returning to Loulan Pavilion, Zhang's mother sent the ginseng tea over, and forced Duan Rubian to drink it, the taste of ginseng tea was bitter, Zhang's mother stuffed the candied fruit into Duan Rubian's mouth, and then retreated satisfied, and the sweetness of the candied fruit dissipated in the mouth, gradually swallowing the bitter taste.

Duan Rubian held her forehead with her hand on the case, thinking about what Feng Changqing had just said to her, she gritted her teeth, it was really not as she expected, the origin of this colorful moon could not be ignored, but Duan Rubian didn't expect her to be martial arts, since this is the case, she is not the old lady's person, in this mansion, in addition to the Shui family's mother and daughter, there is also Duan Jiuyang. Thinking of Duan Jiuyang, Duan Ruyang's eyes were a little fluttering, Duan Jiuyang ...... What the hell is she......

On December 21, the cold solstice, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was on this day.

Today's sunshine, but the snow on the ground is still very deep, the air is as biting as ever, Duan Ruhua changed into a bright yellow jacket skirt, simply combed her makeup, and got into the carriage that had been prepared at the door a long time ago, and Duan Ruhua was sitting in the car, Duan Ruhua was wearing a light purple brocade robe today, with makeup to add a sense of elegance, compared to what Duan Rufang was wearing, it was even inferior.

"My sister is really good-looking today" Duan Ruhua stared at Duan Rufang's face, evoked a gentle smile, and his slender fingers groped Duan Rubian's palm, frowning slightly, "My sister has to take care of it well, my sister's skin is a little too rough, a few days ago, Qian Shangshu's daughter gave her sister mutton fat cream, and Ming'er asked the green key to send some to her sister."

"Then my sister is here, thank you sister" Duan Rubian withdrew his hand, put it on his abdomen and leaned over slightly, Duan Ruhua covered his mouth and chuckled, and said angrily, "It's all my own sisters, what's polite?"

Duan Rubian smiled, noncommittal, the two of them just went all the way, Duan Rubian was a little impatient, and fell asleep leaning on the sedan chair, Duan Ruhua took a shallow sip of the chrysanthemum tea in his hand, and his narrow eyes were slightly bent.

Soon after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Duan Rubian slept all the way, his head was a little painful, he got off the carriage with the support of Qinghe, and some of them were not very stable, Duan Ruhua saw this, smiled lightly, and untied the sachet on his waist and hung it on Duan Rubian's waist, "This is a soothing incense, it can relieve headaches, my sister will hang it first"

Duan Rubian glanced at the sachet and returned the salute with a light smile, "Thank you, sister"

Duan Ruhua nodded, lifted his steps and walked into the palace, there were many famous ladies standing at the gate of the palace, seeing the scene just now, they were full of praise for Duan Ruhua, and some sons stared at Duan Ruhua obsessively, after all, such a beautiful woman, the first in the capital.

Qinghe leaned close to Duan Rufang's ear and whispered, "Miss, do you want me to change the incense inside?"

"No need" Duan Rubian licked her dry lips and chuckled, "There are so many people watching here, she won't do anything"

Duan Rubian just wanted to go in, when the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded, and the son beside him seemed to be surprised, and said to the man who was traveling with him, "Look, isn't that the Jiang family's carriage?"

"Yes, could it be the son of the Jiang family?"

"Didn't you see that it was a girl sitting in front of the carriage, I think it was Miss Jiang's carriage."

"You said that Jiang Chengyue who fell into the water and fell ill at the beginning?"

"Yes, yes......"

Duan Rubian frowned, stopped and turned around, the curtain of the car was lifted, and the maid sitting in front of the car got out of the car and helped the beauty in the car to get out of the car.

Jiang Chengyue's beauty is all over the country, not inferior to Duan Ruhua, the orange dress moves with the wind, beautiful and luxurious, but the face is pale, looking terrifying, Jiang Chengyue just got off the carriage and coughed, waking up the crowd who were addicted to her appearance, and everyone realized that this talented girl who was originally named in the capital is now just a sick ghost.

Many sons sighed and walked into the palace, and no woman was willing to approach Jiang Chengyue, lest her illness would infect her, but only Duan Rufang slowly hooked her lips towards the oncoming Jiang Chengyue, "Miss Jiang's spirit is not as good as before."

"It turned out to be Miss Duan...... Ahem, my body, since ...... Ahem...... Since a few years ago...... It's not any better" Jiang Chengyue seemed to be struggling to speak, and her smile was also very far-fetched, making Duan Rubian a little suspicious whether the woman in front of her had only looked for her Jiang Chengyue a few days ago.

"Since it's not good, Miss Jiang should say less" Duan Rubian smiled faintly, leaned over, "Take a step first"

Jiang Chengyue nodded, seeing Duan Rufang disappear in front of her, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and the maid beside her said in a low voice, "Miss, the young master said, let you be careful of this Duan Rubian, if she and Duan Ruhua are together......"

"No" Jiang Chengyue licked her lips, "She won't be with Duan Ruhua, I look at people's eyes, when will I miss it!"

Jiang Chengyue's words were fluent, and she couldn't see any discomfort, but she coughed again in the blink of an eye, and walked into the palace with the support of the maid.

The palace is full of lights, very lively, the birthday banquet has not yet started, the ladies of various families get together to chat, praising each other, Duan Ruhua is surrounded by people, many rich ladies can't wait to get close to her, Duan Ruhua stood in the crowd with a smile, like a pure white lotus, and behaved elegantly.

The rich boy sitting on the other side glanced at the opposite side at every turn, even if he was far away, he wanted to admire the beauty of the woman.

Duan Rubian watched from a distance, her expression remained unchanged, she sat at the table silently, the woman on her side looked left and right, and saw that only she and Duan Rubian did not walk in the direction of Duan Ruhua, smiled and approached Duan Rubian, and said in a low voice, "Do you also think that she is not as simple as she seems?"

When Duan Rubian heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, it seems that this person shouldn't know that she is Duan Ruhua's sister, but she is also bold, and she dares to say that Duan Ruhua is not good so directly, the woman saw that Duan Rubian didn't speak for a long time, and frowned slightly, "Why don't you speak?"

"This girl, there is a saying that disaster comes from the mouth" Duan Ruhua glanced at her and kindly reminded that if her words were heard by Duan Ruhua, Duan Ruhua would definitely not let her go.

"Hmph, so you are so timid" The woman snorted coldly, turned her head contemptuously, suddenly turned back, and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

“...... Paragraph is like a flaw"

Duan Rufang...... Ah!" The woman muttered for a while, then suddenly reacted, and the smile on her face became even more contemptuous, "It turns out that you are her sister, no wonder you are timid, and sure enough, you don't have any guts at all."

Duan Rubian narrowed her eyes, and the hand under her sleeve was slightly clenched, this woman spoke openly, and something would happen sooner or later.

"Oh yes, my name is Lu Pingzhu" After the woman finished speaking, she picked up the teacup in front of her and took a few sips, Duan Rubian's memory of this woman flashed in his mind, and he realized why Lu Pingzhu didn't like Duan Ruhua, Lu Pingzhu and Jiang Chengyue were friends from childhood to adulthood, no wonder they couldn't look down on Duan Ruhua.

"Pingzhu, how can you ...... Ahem...... How can you talk like that?"

Jiang Chengyue came from not far away, frowned and said to Lu Pingzhu, Lu Pingzhu blinked and pouted, "If it weren't for her, Sister Jiang wouldn't be like this......"

"That's enough," Jiang Chengyue interrupted, "If you mention this matter again, I'll go tell your father."

"Don't Sister Jiang, can't I say it" Lu Pingzhu seemed to be very afraid of his father, sat down tremblingly, and drank tea without saying a word.

Duan Rubian stared at Jiang Chengyue for a long time, turned his head, stood up, and called Qinghe to turn around and leave, Jiang Chengyue opened his mouth and called, "Where is Sister Duan?"

"I'm sitting bored, walk around, the two of you talk slowly" Duan Rubian smiled and saluted, turned around and walked away, Lu Pingzhu frowned, and said in a low voice, "Sister Jiang, why do you care so much about that Duan Rubian, is there anything special about her?"

Jiang Chengyue smiled and did not answer.

Of course, there is, but this fox hides her special features very well......

After walking a little farther and not hearing the noisy sound of the banquet, Duan Rubian breathed a sigh of relief.

She has always hated that kind of environment, there is a miasma of black smoke, there is a small pavilion not far away, Duan Rubian let Qinghe stay in place, and sat alone in the pavilion, feeling the wind blowing by her side, and her heart calmed down.

There was movement behind him, Duan Rubian, who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked back, it turned out to be Yeluji standing behind him, Duan Rubian frowned, "Why are you here?"

"The banquet is too noisy, come out for a walk, I didn't expect you to come out too" Yelu Ji touched the tip of his nose and covered his heart between his eyebrows, in fact, he didn't see Duan Rufang in Changyin Pavilion, so he came out to find it.

Qinghe, who was not far away, saw someone walking into the pavilion, and wanted to come over, Duan Rubian gestured at her, and Qinghe retreated to the same place, but his eyes were still staring at Yeluji.

"Who are the people from Nanchu's mission?" Duan Rubian asked Yelu Ji to sit down opposite him and asked

"Yelu Sa and Mu Tuo, as well as the national teacher Jian Fengyu, the others are all small characters" Yelu Ji thought about it for a while, and replied, Duan Rubian pursed his lips, "Is there any of you here?"

"No" Yelu Ji shook his head and smiled sarcastically, "I have been away from Nanchu for so many years, and there is no one to rely on in Nanchu for a long time."

Duan Rubian frowned and asked in a low voice, "That national teacher...... What is the origin?"
