Qiu Ju vigilantly lit the candle, and a familiar voice sounded outside the window.

"Princess, subordinate Aoyama. ”

In the middle of the night, there must be something very important when Aoyama appears.

But there doesn't seem to be anything very important except for Ling Tinglan's matter recently.

She immediately sat up, "Come in." ”

Qingshan came in through the window, carrying the cold, he stood outside, lowered his head, and looked respectful: "Miss Peony's people found Miss Ling, she was imprisoned in a small mansion in the south of the city, there were more than a dozen people inside and outside the house, Miss Ling was imprisoned there, Miss Peony asked if she would do it immediately?"

The surprise came too quickly, Han Rui stood up and walked two steps without even putting on shoes, and realized that she was a little reckless, so she immediately sat back down, but the tremor in her voice couldn't hide her excitement.

"Immediately, let Fu Guogong take someone there, it must be foolproof. ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as Qingshan left, Han Rui shouted Qiu Ju to serve him and get dressed.

"It's so cold outside, the princess is waiting for news in the house, the sword has no eyes, in case it ......"

The cold wind is still howling outside, and although the weather has warmed up in the past few days, it is still very cold at night.

"No, I'm going to go along. ”

Seeing that persuasion couldn't be done, she simply asked the little girl to notify Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan came quickly.

"The princess is going to go, then I'll accompany the princess. ”

Han Rui looked at Qi Yuan's warm and somewhat worried eyes from the mirror and nodded, "Thank you for understanding me." ”

Qi Yuan just smiled, she knew her mind earlier than Han Rui herself, but she couldn't see it clearly at that time, and now that Hou Ye is missing again, she began to be anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

In a small mansion in the south of the city, more than a dozen people took turns guarding the people in the main house, and a woman with an ordinary face came out of the house and waved her hand to the two people under the eaves: "It should be nothing to do tonight, leave two people to guard, and everyone else go to rest." ”

Everyone yawned, and the young lady in the house had just taken advantage of the unpreparedness to make a suicide scene, which caused everyone to be in a hurry in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Ling Tinglan's hair was scattered, her neck was tightly wrapped, her face was pale, and her beautiful eyes were devoid of brilliance, like a traveler on the verge of despair in the desert.

She just took advantage of her ability to smash the bowl and then cut her throat, but the broken porcelain was not so sharp, so she picked up a life, but at the moment she was in uncomfortable pain.

She tried to move her head, and the pain made her grin and tears rolled down with her snot.

"Brother, where are you......"

She muttered.

At this moment, the door opened again, and she couldn't help but tremble, perhaps because the coachman died, and the woman became very irritable from the beginning of the breeziness, and when she threw herself on the bed, there was undisguised murderous intent in her eyes.

When I just treated my wound, my movements were also very rude, the porcelain was very rough, and when I bandaged myself, I was really covered in cold sweat, and the sheets were torn by myself.

Through the starlight that poured in, she saw that it was a woman, but she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Miss Ling, it's me. ”

The candle flame lit up at this moment, and the woman standing in front of her almost made Ling Tinglan jump up, it was Qinghe, the maidservant who followed Liu Rumei in the past, after Liu Rumei was beaten to death by the eldest princess, she disappeared.

It's been a year since I saw her again, and she was still the same as before, dressed plainly, but her expression was a little different, and when she looked at herself, it was not the kind of respect that the slave looked at the master, but more like looking at irrelevant people.

It was probably because it was unusual for her to suddenly appear in the middle of the night, and Ling Tinglan subconsciously moved into the bed.

The words of her brother about Liu Rumei's identity echoed in her mind again, and she swallowed nervously.

"Miss is well. ”

She still said hello as before, but condescendingly looked at the person on the bed.

"We're going to have to change places. ”

As soon as her voice fell, the woman from before immediately rushed in: "It's too late, hurry up and go through the tunnel first." ”

Then Ling Tinglan's eyes darkened again, and she didn't know anything.

Han Rui sat in the carriage and waited anxiously, Qi Yuan held her hand tightly, "The princess is so nervous that her palms are sweaty. ”

Qi Yuan stuffed a hand warmer in her hand, and the warm hand stove suddenly made her nervousness disappear a little.

The wind was howling outside, and it was dark at the moment, and Fu Guogong and his people had already surrounded the courtyard.

Qingshan took the secret guard to climb over the wall and entered, and someone outside the door immediately rushed out to resist.

The sound of the fight mixed with the wind outside came to his ears, and Han Rui's hands were tightly twisted together.

A quarter of an hour later, the fighting outside finally stopped, and Qingshan came back and reported through the carriage window: "Only one shoe was found, Miss Ling is only afraid that it has been transferred, there is a secret passage in the house, I don't know where it leads, Fu Guogong has already led people to chase after it." ”

Han Rui's head shook, and she shuddered, "Go back." ”

Her voice was soft, and Aoyama immediately jumped into the carriage.

The sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night is very eye-catching, and there is a person sitting quietly on the roof of the inn on the side of the street, watching the carriage below gradually move away, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on his face, and there is clearly a smug smile.

Seeing that the carriage was gradually moving away, she returned to the room of the inn, Ling Tinglan was still unconscious, she walked over and patted her face.

Ling Tinglan was woken up, and then she shrank back in fright at the face of Shang Qinghe, she was sure that this was not the Qinghe she knew before.

Her eyes made Ling Tinglan couldn't help but retreat, and she couldn't help but stay away.

"Don't blame the eldest lady, I came to the capital to pick you up on the order of the young lady. ”

"Miss, who are you referring to?"

"Except for Miss Liu, the slave has never served another master. ”

As if to confirm her loyalty, her expression was very pious, almost making Ling Tinglan think that she was still the personal servant girl who was respectful to Liu Rumei in the past, with no sense of existence and few words.

"Liu Rumei, isn't she the princess of Southern Xinjiang?"

Ling Tinglan revealed Liu Rumei's identity, which made Qinghe a little surprised, it seems that this eldest lady who used to be confused is not too confused now, but I'm afraid it's not easy to fool.

"This matter is a long story, the slave will send you to Jiangzhou to reunite with the Hou Ye and Miss, and the miss will definitely tell you the story in detail at that time. ”

"When will you go?"

At this moment, she calmed down a lot, and moved here overnight, Qinghe was polite on the surface, but she could say that she stunned herself, and she couldn't help but be unwilling.

Her cooperation made Qinghe wonder if she had a bad brain, and it was clear that she was hostile just now.

"Is the eldest lady really willing to go to Jiangzhou with me?"

She was confident that Ling Tinglan, a golden and precious young lady, couldn't escape her eyes at all.
