Chapter 84: Tracking
Horse-drawn carriages dispersed the crowd and moved slowly through the bustling streets.
Mu Xiang's face was condensed, and there was uneasiness in her eyes. She always felt that there were people following them behind the carriage, but if she looked back frequently, she was afraid of startling the snake.
After thinking about it, she pretended to look back and talk to Ruan Yuyi, knocked on the wooden body twice, but her eyes glanced to the side. In the place of shooting, there was really a man's eyes that met her suddenly, Xu was afraid that he would be discovered, so he hid around the corner with a weak heart.
Ruan Yuyi was in the car, she didn't know what was going on outside, she heard the knocking sound of Muxiang, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The carriage continued to move, and she could feel a slight tremor beneath her, and the sound of the woody incense outside the carriage was partially drowned out by the voices of the people around her, and it was not very clear.
Still, it made her face white.
"Miss, someone is following us behind," Mu Xiang paused, "it's a man." "It doesn't look like a big age, but sixteen or seventeen years old.
At this time, the carriage had traveled a little way on the edge, and the shadows of the houses on the side of the street fell, making the carriage also dark.
Some unpleasant experiences popped into her mind. Her face was hidden in the darkness, her hands hanging down her skirt were clenched quietly, and her knuckles were white.
The lingering heat in the body seems to be scared away. She forced herself to calm down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the wood incense outside, "Find a shop and ask the coachman to stop." We told the shopkeeper that we should be able to get out the back door. ”
Muxiang answered.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of a rouge shop, Ruan Yuyi took Mu Xiang's hand, got off the car, looked calm, fell behind the girl next to her, and also walked into the shop, as if she really just came to buy rouge.
The coachman, who had received the words, waited in the same place, pretending to wait for his master to return.
Not knowing how long the man would follow, she couldn't help but slow down. But fortunately, it is sold in the shop, and most of them are women's things, so there are mostly little girls, and it should be obvious that person comes in.
Ruan Yuyi looked around and saw the female shopkeeper standing behind a long case in the corner.
When he stepped forward, the shopkeeper happened to raise his head, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly changed his smiling face, "What does the girl want to buy?" She glanced Ruan Yuyi up and down.
is so well-dressed, and she is an extraordinary little lady, she must be generous if she wants to come and shoot. Thinking like this, the smile on his face deepened.
She shook her head slightly, explained what she had encountered a sentence or two, and asked, "Can you borrow the back door of your shop?" ”
Although her face was not visible, her subordinates grabbed the edges of a few cases, and pressed so hard that their fingertips turned white.
The shopkeeper was a zealous person, and when he heard her say this, he didn't dare to delay, so he answered and pointed back, "Girl, let's go." ”
Her rouge is spread out here, and if she can help others, she will be considered to have done some good deeds. It's good to have a good relationship.
She seemed to think of something, and came out from behind a few cases, her tone was more anxious than Ruan Yuyi, "I'll lead you over, there are a lot of debris piled up behind, don't delay." ”
Walking to the back door, Ruan Yuyi thanked her.
The shopkeeper gently pushed her, and urged her, "Don't be polite now, let's go quickly." ”
Her heart warmed, she didn't say anything more, and left with Mu Xiang. Coming out of the back door, there was another long street, which was much more deserted than the one on the other side. She walked briskly, glancing back from time to time with uneasiness.
Fortunately, there was no figure of the man behind him, and even a few ordinary pedestrians were missing. She let go of the string in her heart, and suddenly felt that her body was weak, and she staggered forward.
"Miss." Mu Xiang gave her a hand, with a worried look on her face.
When I was about to turn out of here, I saw a black nanmu carriage parked at the corner, with intricate carvings and ornaments, half-open curtains, and red horses, showing that there were no people sitting inside.
The horse hung his head, and when he saw the person, he seemed to recognize it, and he did not raise his voice, but only made some muffled sounds in his throat.
Mu Xiang condensed his eyes and hesitated, "This seems to be the carriage of the prince." ”
Looking sideways again, I saw Ruan Yuyi lowering her eyes and saying nothing, her face was already dyed with a strange flush, her lips were slightly open, and she was panting for hot air, which was very uncomfortable.
Mu Xiang only regretted that he didn't stare at the young lady and drank the medicine before leaving the house, but now there is no place for the young lady to rest, let alone the medical hall.
Maybe she should hold the young lady today, so that she can take care of her body first.
She thought for a moment, and had no choice but to help the person into the carriage first, thinking that since it was the carriage of the prince, it didn't matter if she asked the young lady to stay. Besides, the reason why the young lady left the house was also His Royal Highness.
She placed Ruan Yuyi and went to find Shizi and others.
Ruan Yuyi realized in a trance that she had been taken into the car, and she leaned against the wall of the car, frowning slightly. I don't know how long it took, I felt some shaking under my body, and I didn't lean on it for a while, and I slid down the net, but I was steadily dragged by a hand.
She was startled, barely half-open.
As soon as he saw Jiang Huaiyang in front of him, he couldn't hold back his tears. Although she was not sad, the unbearable dryness made her feel inexplicably wronged.
Especially when he knew that his eyes were falling on him, as if he was about to shed tears to show him.
She straightened up and grabbed his hand. The place where the fingertips touch is not as smooth as that of ordinary noble sons, but has a rough and thin callus.
But this made her suddenly calm down.
"Uncomfortable?" She heard him ask.
"Hmm." She whispered. Xu was already unwell, but this one sound also made Jiang Huaiyang hear the coquettishness.
He wanted to withdraw his hand, but unexpectedly she stepped forward, pulled over his shirt, and said softly, "Your Highness help me-"
Yesterday, she was coaxed by him to say a lot of things that are difficult to say on weekdays, but now she is not so shy, and she confided her appeal to the person in front of her directly.
After knowing what kind of medicine she had, he guessed that the little lady would not have the antidote in her hand, so after returning to the palace, he ordered the hospital to send some.
The pills are larger, and her thin throat and eyes, if there is no water to take it, I am afraid that even if she breaks it into a few petals, she will not be able to swallow it.
She only felt as if her whole body was about to be burned, but the person in front of her was as cold as a spring in the mountains. She was like a person who was short of water, almost out of her mind, and only remembered that he could relieve her discomfort, so she desperately leaned on him.
She knelt between his legs, took his arms around his neck, and took the belt to herself.
Jiang Huaiyang's breath stagnated.
This little lady really learned the ability to hook people into her bones, and at this time, she can also make this set of actions proficiently.
He leaned into her ear, his voice hoarse, "You have to think about it, this is in the carriage." Wen Pheasant and your maid are outside, separated by only a thin layer of silk. ”
He whispered, and she felt only the scent of his body fill her nose. But it is not like an exhortation, but it seems to be coaxed.
