"What are you muttering behind my back?" Du Yinxuan suddenly poked her head out and looked at the three of them jokingly, the few people who were muttering just now were quiet for a moment, Zining hurriedly denied it, "Niangniang, I didn't say anything, we just think the jewelry that Niangniang bought looks good." ”

Hearing this, Du Yinxuan glanced at the flying swallow hairpin in her hand, and was complacent, "My vision must not be wrong." ”

Coming out of the Duan family's silver merchant, it was still early, and Du Yinxuan proposed: "Let's go out of the city!"

Zi Ning blinked her round eyes and wondered, "Niangniang, why did you go outside the city?"

Du Yinxuan smiled, "Feel free to walk around and relax, are you tired? If you're tired, go back home first!"

"Don't be tired, Niangniang, the prince shouldn't let you out of the city. Zining's persuasion failed, and Du Yinxuan said again: "Don't tell him that I'm out of the city, he won't know, take the two of them back, and I'll go back to the house in a while." ”

Du Yinxuan's tone was a bit of an incomprehensible command, and she glanced at her worriedly, but she couldn't refuse.

"Okay, princess, be careful, come back early. ”

Zi Ning was shocked when she heard this: "Sister Toto, just let Niang Niang out of the city?"

Bai Su gently tugged at Zi Ning's clothes, Zi Ning looked back at her, and saw that Bai Su's face was cold, and he didn't seem to care about it.

"Zi Ning, Niang Niang won't have an accident, don't worry!" Looking at Zi Ning's pitiful gaze, Bai Su had no choice but to comfort her.

In the end, the cold wind outside the city was bitter, and the trees had lost their green coats, and now only the branches of the trees were bleak in the wind, and it seemed that the surroundings were deserted and deserted.

Leaning under the tree, I suddenly felt that the stout tree was instantly lonely.

The king also introduced Mr. Mei to the national teacher, and then discussed with his father about attacking the Simon Wu clan. ”

Yu Wenlin's words still came to mind, for some reason, she hesitated, if Yu Wenlin attacked the Wu Clan, would she choose to be the enemy of Yu Wenlin? When she was upset, the sound of blades coming from nowhere brought Du Yinxuan's wandering consciousness back.

Soon after, a woman stumbled from a distance and trotted in, and saw that she was dressed in a red dress with a black silk ribbon, and the water sleeves were fluttering, but it was black, and the skirt was not bright red, like the night, giving people the illusion of danger.

The woman covered her left arm with her right hand, and when she walked closer, blood could be vaguely seen flowing out from between her fingers, and the woman also found Du Yinxuan, and immediately held an old tree in her hand, looking at Du Yinxuan vigilantly, Du Yinxuan was shocked, this is really a face that she will be moved by when she sees a woman, and these eyes, bright and moving, long hair over the waist, scattered behind her, looking at Du Yinxuan's slightly frightened look, are all exciting.

"Who?"

The woman asked first, Du Yinxuan glanced at her arm, the blood was not dry, and her fingers were also scarlet.

"Anyway, it's not the one who stands in your way, go over!"

Du Yinxuan saw that she was in a hurry, thinking that someone was chasing and killing her behind, so she didn't want to lose someone's life, so she should let her go quickly.

The woman was suspicious for a while, and Du Yinxuan saw that she flinched, so she had to raise her hands and continue: "Don't worry, I really won't get in the way, you can go quickly!"

The woman finally took a step, but before she disappeared from Du Yinxuan's sight, three big men with knives appeared in the sky and blocked the woman's way.

Du Yinxuan saw that one of them still had blood on the blade, thinking that this woman was injured by them, and now looking at her expression, her little face was a little pale.

"Madame, come back with us. ”

The first big man was rude and domineering with a knife, and his face was hateful, and the woman was not to be outdone, even if she was injured, she would not compromise easily, and her eyes became ruthless.

"Go back and tell Tang Yuelong that I will definitely return the knife to him today. ”

Tang Yuelong?Du Yinxuan felt a little familiar when she heard it, but she didn't seem to know this person, but this woman, as the wife of the family, actually resisted going home so much, strange!

Du Yinxuan looked at the three fierce men with knives and said, "If people don't want to go back, don't embarrass her, you people are not good men if you bully too much." ”

"Who are you, how dare you be presumptuous here!"

The man shouted at Du Yinxuan, Du Yinxuan snorted and said coldly: "You can't control who I am, but if you embarrass her today, I will be unkind to you." ”

The three big men were not afraid when they heard this, and their attention was gradually attracted by Du Yinxuan, seeing that there was no one around, and she couldn't make any trouble with a woman, the three of them said contemptuously: "The little girl is so arrogant, she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead." ”

The three of them no longer cared about the injured woman, but walked towards Du Yinxuan viciously, raising their knives as if they were going to kill them all.

Seeing this, Du Yinxuan knew that it was not good, so she squeezed her eyebrows at the woman and asked her to leave quickly, but when the woman saw her appearance, she smiled and stared at her interestingly, and she had no intention of leaving.

Du Yinxuan shook her head and lamented, "I really don't know what you think!"

Sigh, the three people had already swung their knives and slashed at her, thinking that they were all practicing families, and the speed of the knife was extremely fast, so fast that Du Yinxuan couldn't fight back, so she could only retreat again and again, but it was okay to lure the three of them away so that the woman could escape.

"They are very energetic, is it not a way for you to spend time like this, but it is you who are tired. ”

The woman's voice sounded in her ears, Du Yinxuan thought about it, and took her away by herself.

Du Yinxuan retreated again and again, retreated to the tree, jumped up in the air with the power of the trunk, turned over and hid behind the three of them, and charged with one palm, the wind around them suddenly became cloudy, and the three people turned around, but they were dazzled by a gust of wind blowing, and the fallen leaves on the ground made a sound, and they were blown up by the wind in a moment, becoming a sharp blade at the mercy of Du Yinxuan, and rushed towards the three of them.

When the woman saw Du Yinxuan fight back, her face suddenly changed, and it was obscure, which made people wonder through.

Du Yinxuan turned around and walked towards the woman, took her hand and left the forest.

Back in the city, the woman looked at Du Yinxuan's hand with a little joke in her eyebrows, and said, "Although you saved me, is it really good to hold my hand like this for so long?"

Du Yinxuan pursed her lips and said, "You are really a strange person, why didn't you leave just now?"

The woman asked, "You helped me block those wicked people, how could I leave you like this first?"

Du Yinxuan took a deep breath helplessly, looked at her arm, which was still dripping with blood, and Du Yinxuan's eyes couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Are you alright?"

The woman followed her gaze, looked at her arm, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm fine, thank you girl for saving her life." ”

"Are you a foreigner?" Du Yinxuan asked again.

"Yes, I've only been in Jindu for half a month. ”

"Why are they dealing with one of your girls?"

Du Yinxuan asked questions one after another, but it didn't make the woman feel irritable, she still smiled and patiently answered Du Yinxuan's questions.

"They are from my husband's family, and this matter is a long story, and I will talk to the girl about it another day. ”

"They all said that it is difficult for the Qing official to decide the family affairs, and the girl's family affairs, I won't ask, so do you have a place to live now?"

"No, there was a place to stay a few days ago, but unfortunately I was kicked out, and now I met them again, it's not safe anywhere, seeing that the girl's bearing is extraordinary, and her martial arts are powerful, I don't know if I can go to your mansion to disturb for a few days, avoid the limelight, and wait for the turmoil to calm down, I will leave here." ”

Du Yinxuan thought about Zilan's reaction, and then thought about Yuwenlin's reaction, Zilan might just blame her for how to bring a strange woman home, Yuwenlin said a word or two about her at most, just laughed it off, and Du Yinxuan agreed.

"Okay. ”

"Thank you!"

"What should I call you?" Du Yinxuan asked again, and the woman smiled: "Zuo Lingyan." ”

The two went back to the Jingwang Mansion, Du Yinxuan told Zi Ning to take some medicine for the wound, from the gate of the palace to the Yunshui Ballad, Zuo Lingyan did not show a trace of surprise, after sitting down in the Yunshui Ballad, Bai Su sent tea and snacks, which were also taken away by Du Yinxuan, there were only the two of them in the house, Du Yinxuan asked: "You don't seem to be curious about why I came here?"

Zuo Lingyan had a faint smile on his face, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you curious? Princess Jing doesn't come to King Jing's mansion, where should she go?"

"You know who I am. Du Yinxuan seemed to be smiling, staring at Zuo Lingyan, and said with a smile: "I now suspect that those three people are your accomplices!"

Feeling the doubt, Zuo Lingyan immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "They are indeed from my husband's family, and they are also the ones who came to arrest me back." ”

"It's a little strange, you don't go home, your husband sent someone to arrest you, there seems to be a story in this. ”

Looking at Du Yinxuan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people, Zuo Lingyan shuddered in his heart, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I am a little the same as you, but a little different, the women in the palace all say that Princess Jing does not let King Jing marry a concubine is a joke, but I think, you are not wrong, this is not a joke!"

Hearing her helplessness and sorrow, Du Yinxuan's gaze softened a little, and Zuo Lingyan said again: "But we are a little different, you are a wife, King Jing did not marry a concubine, and I am a concubine, he has a wife." ”

She seemed to remember something sad again, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she was very sad, Du Yinxuan saw this, and didn't ask anything anymore, but since he didn't want him to have a wife, why bother to marry him as a concubine?

As if seeing through Du Yinxuan's thoughts, Zuo Lingyan asked, "Are you curious, he already has a wife, why should I marry him?"

Du Yinxuan smiled, nodded and acquiesced, Zuo Lingyan looked at the dim sky outside the window, and seemed to remember something far away.

"On that day, I was the only one who got married, who knew that there would be an extra bride in the middle, or a bride who was more approved by his father, so I became a concubine, and the love in his mouth was no match for his father's words after all. ”

Du Yinxuan listened to her quietly, maybe she was telling the truth, maybe she was just making up a story, but Du Yinxuan was still willing to listen.

"That woman was in a quandary, and that day, I slapped her twice and left, and I didn't want to know what they thought of me, and I didn't want to know how he would punish me, but now I know the answer. ”

Zuo Lingyan lowered her eyes, as if that distant dream had been shattered, what she needed to accept was the bloody reality, and the knife that was cut today was his clearest response.

Zi Ning and Bai Su pushed the door in, and Du Yinxuan could also distract her, "I'll help you deal with the wound first." ”

"Hmm!" Zuo Lingyan nodded, and then stopped talking, Du Yinxuan knew that she reminded her of something sad.

At night, Du Yinxuan looked at the dark night sky under the eaves, the cold and swishing wind blew people's faces hotly and painfully, Bai Su came over and added a fox fur to her, Du Yinxuan turned around and asked, "Did Miss Zuo sleep?"

"Sleep, let's rest early. Bai Su herself was also wrapped in thick clothes, and seeing that her little face was red from the cold, Du Yinxuan smiled and said, "You go and rest first, and I'll stay for a while." ”

Bai Su covered Du Yinxuan's hand, her hand was as hot as charcoal fire, but Bai Su's hand was cold.

"Mother, it's cold outside. ”

"Out of the way, go ahead. ”

Bai Su still entered the house, only Du Yinxuan was outside looking at the night sky, I really didn't understand, why didn't it snow, would he come back when it snowed? Du Yinxuan suddenly didn't know, why did he look forward to him returning home?

I don't know what is on the courtyard wall, Du Yinxuan thought she was dazzled, but after a while, the light appeared again, it was a fire fold, Du Yinxuan twisted her eyebrows, who was climbing the courtyard wall of her Yunshui ballad!!

Du Yinxuan walked towards the starlight and scolded, "Who is sneaky?"

The man popped up with a head, the light of the fire fold was printed on his face, and the clear facial features met Du Yinxuan's eyes, Du Yinxuan's heart was confused for a moment, and he couldn't guess this person.

"Third brother, why are you here?"

Yu Wenshi leaned on the wall with difficulty, panting and said, "I just saw Bai Su and Zining go to get medicine, are you okay, where are the injuries?"

"I, I'm fine. Du Yinxuan didn't know how to face Yu Wenshi for a while, so she said: "Third brother, go down, the wall is dangerous." ”

Yu Wenshi said happily when he heard this: "Good Le." ”

After that, he jumped inside.
