The cold moon hung high, and a black cat appeared in the corridor with green tiles and red walls, its pupils scattered with green light, its steps were light, and it could vaguely see the red light on its neck.

In early autumn, there was a charcoal fire in the hall, and Su Wanning felt that Feng Mingxuan, where she lived, was too stuffy, and it was not good to brush off the queen mother's kindness.

The ink painting of the palace maid in the palace said that the queen mother specially told her to avoid her getting caught in the cold again.

Su Wanning was not easy to excuse, and she didn't want to embarrass the palace maid, so she took Qingzhu to take a walk close before the palace ban, and just opened the doors and windows for ventilation.

Walking to the corridor outside the bell tower, Qingzhu screamed in a trembling voice.

"Miss, look at that corner, it's pitch black and glowing red and green, it's too infiltrating!"

Su Wanning looked at it, and the red light was like a round ball, rotating back and forth against the ground.

The bold and careful Su Wanning doesn't believe in evil, who can be more bizarre than her experience?

"Let's take a look, maybe it's just a false alarm."

As she spoke, she slowly approached, ready for attack and defense.

Since being injured in the autumn hunt, Su Wanning has been more concerned about her own safety, carrying her sleeve arrows and mist bombs with her.

She carefully shot a Hidden Arrow.

To no avail.

It caused a cat to meow.

At the same time, the red light flowed rapidly, moving against the grass by the wall, and suddenly flew to the low wall.

Su Wanning suddenly realized, and comforted Qingzhu warmly: "Qingzhu, look, it's just a cat, how can there be any ghosts and gods." ”

She said this with a really weak heart, but she didn't delay to appease a simple and harmless little girl.

"It's still the young lady's wit, and the slave maid still thinks it's ......"

Before Qingzhu's words were finished, the wall "banged", and a ball of fire exploded, and a little silver-yellow spark dissipated in mid-air.

The cat screamed and fell into the grass outside the wall.

Outside the wall, there was a sudden sound of feet stepping on the grass.

Su Wanning instantly became alert, put her index finger to her lips, and made a silent gesture.

Qingzhu obediently covered his mouth and slowly squatted in the shadow of the pillar.

Su Wanning stepped forward boldly to inquire about the situation on that side.

"The firelight bead is broken, but if you take two steps ahead, you can catch this damn cat, and it won't be a bad thing." The dull and sophisticated female voice was indignant.

The other person was a charming female voice, and said comfortingly: "Don't be in a hurry, the firelight beads can't be bumped into at this time, and what we have to do is also complicated and changeable, how can we be depressed because of a momentary accident." If the other five people are like you, they complain everywhere, can great things still be done? Think about it, auntie. ”

"Phew, little slut." The sophisticated female voice remained silent for a long time, waiting for the other person to go away before spitting at the mouth.

The next day, Su Wanning finally saw Mei Zhexu, who had not been seen for a long time.

Mei Zhexu was silent a lot, and the stubble on his lips also came out, looking a little vicissitudes.

"Cousin Mei, long time no see. After lunch, the folk performance troupe will enter the palace to rehearse, and we will pick and choose together. Oh, by the way, the fire tree and silver flowers can only be seen after sunset, and this queen mother specially told her to keep it without major problems. Su Wanning wrote down all the points of attention at the banquet of the celebration ceremony on the thin book, holding an ink pen made of feathers in her hand, drawing and adding, and had no time to take care of Mei Zhexu's abnormality.

Maybe she chose not to intervene, which would make Mei Zhexu more comfortable.

"Cousin, you can take care of these little things. Cousin believes in your vision, if someone dares to disobey the command, I will come forward to solve it! Mei Zhexu followed aside, and there was a response that was not a match.

Su Wanning was a little surprised when she heard Mei Zhexu's title, why was he so alienated today, could it be that she didn't do it.

Isn't participating in the preparation of the banquet what Mei Zhexu is looking forward to?

"My cousin is busy with affairs, and he understands gently. It's just that no matter how busy you are, you have to remember the promise you made in the autumn hunting grounds. Su Wanning deliberately pointed out, and Mei Zhexu agreed to her conditions.

Mei Zhexu Taohua's eyes regained a look, and said mysteriously: "What's the hurry, after you have fully fulfilled the agreement, I will tell you everything I know." Delay for a day or two will not get in the way, after all, the matter of Zhong Bohou is not a day's work, I will keep an eye on it for you. ”

Su Wanning originally had some suspicions that Mei Zhexu was playing tricks, but these words completely destroyed her doubts.

Mei Zhexu can also foresee the tragedy of the future framing and persecution of the Zhongbohou Mansion!

"Cousin, I have one more thing I want to be sure." The more Su Wanning cared about something, the more she had to pretend to be careless on the surface.

She crossed out another track and shook her head.

Mei Zhexu looked at Su Wanning seriously, waiting for her to ask, but saw that she was still busy with other things.

He was an anxious man, and he took the record book.

"Steel, Gula, and Edge, and the fire tree Yinhua entered the palace yesterday. That's it, only five will be selected today, and the rest will be screened out of the palace, and staying in the palace is also a hidden danger. ”

The eunuch who received the order led a few little palace maids and hurriedly went down to deliver the message.

Su Wanning gently pursed the corners of her mouth and snickered, her cousin Mei is also very handy in doing things, and she clearly didn't look down on this kind of errand just now.

"Cousin? Why did you ask me to come to the autumn hunt at that time, did you want to kill your cousin who was sick and lying on the couch? ”

She asked with a cautious smile.

Mei Zhexu had a moment of panic in his eyes, and he turned sideways to dodge, but was blocked by Su Wanning, who was a head shorter.

So he could only say helplessly: "Cousin, you also asked knowingly." You don't know your aunt's temperament? She has always been strong, if you blindly challenge her bottom line, I am afraid that you will be hidden in the house for the rest of your life. After getting married, you may not be able to be happy for a lifetime. ”

Su Wanning had a flash of inspiration, Mei Zhexu spoke heavily, he didn't seem to know that she was also a reborn person!

Still bent on pulling her?

No wonder he has been reluctant to tell the truth.

"Oh? I see. That Wanning thanked Cousin Mei for her kindness in advance. It's just that if my cousin really wants to help, let's come and prepare for the state banquet together, there are many trivial matters, big and small, I'm really afraid that I can't cope with it, but it will make my grandmother's face gloomy. Su Wanning deliberately showed an expression of fear of being criticized.

Mei Zhexu's heart softened mostly: "Of course, I was careless before. ”

Su Wanning didn't break Mei Zhexu's thoughts, and took a brisk step, because Qingzhu, who was guarding the bell tower, said that there was another letter from the house.

She hadn't reached the front of the building yet.

Qingzhu trotted over to meet him.

"Miss! The eldest princess seemed to be a little angry today, said the frost-dyed aunt who sent the letter. ”

Su Wanning hurriedly walked up to the top floor of the bell tower, opened the letter, and ordered without looking back: "Qingzhu, you guard for me outside the door." ”

She expertly baked the paper above the candle flame, and soon a few lines of small print appeared.

"I've returned to Beijing, don't read it. Be sure to keep an eye on the fire in the palace to avoid causing trouble. ”

In the few sentences of the letter, Su Wanning read out three messages.

First, Daddy returned to Beijing.

The second is that he is well-informed and knows that she entered the palace to rehearse the repertoire.

The third is that those strange people are preparing to use fire to cause chaos at the celebration ceremony.

Somehow, Su Wanning suddenly thought of the conversation between the two mysterious people last night, and the fire light bead with the word fire......

A display of fireworks and a sea of lanterns......

Su Wanning felt that Mei Zhexu should also know about this, otherwise if something really went wrong in the end, the two of them would not be able to take responsibility.

Qingzhu wondered: "Miss entered the palace this time, for the celebration of the national banquet, it is really hard." ”

"Yes, Miss Su is a heroine and is favored by the Queen Mother." A sophisticated female voice sounded from behind Qingzhu.

Qingzhu was displeased: "Who are you?" Without the permission of my master, you are not allowed to step into the top half a step at will! ”

Su Wanning hurried slowly, and finally stopped Mei Zhexu on the way out of the palace.

"Just guess cousin, you're going to run away! But please Cousin Mei cheer up 100,000 spirits! My father wrote to me that a group of vicious gangsters may take advantage of the Qingguo ceremony to do bad things, but the news is uncertain and needs to be further investigated. ”

Mei Zhexu's face returned to its former look, and Su Wanning's words must be believed: "Since my cousin has spoken, no matter how attractive the things outside the palace are, they can be put away." ”

Su Wan watched Mei Zhexu step out of the carriage, prop up on the carriage frame with one hand, and with a jump, the person landed firmly on the ground.

"Cousin Mei is good!" She took the opportunity to pat Mei Zhexu's ass, saving him from doing his work listlessly later.

"The troublemakers in the market are nothing more than trying to make money, power, fame, and fortune. Does this group have any other livelihood? Mei Zhexu thought about it, and liked to pinch the jade wrench between the knuckles.

"I don't know. Since they broke into the palace, it is very likely that they will blend in with the folk people who have been invited to perform at the dinner. Their personnel are not large, and they can only rely on foreign objects to make the trouble successful, which is nothing more than fire and poison. Su Wanning combined the content of Zhong Bohou's letter and added her own thoughts.

Mei Zhexu nodded: "That's true, the things that pass through the mouth on weekdays have the palace maid's silver needle to test the poison, and the eunuch has used it orally, so you only need to be a little vigilant." But as far as the fire is concerned, it is menacing, and if there is a large amount of gunpowder hidden in the temple, it will inevitably cause an uncontrollable fire! ”

"Then, let's go to the courtyard where the folk artists settle to check?" Su Wan's eyes showed a color of expectation, which made Mei Zhexu, who wanted to refuse, hold back the words in his mouth.

"It's time to see. Cousin, didn't you say that there are still a few tracks to be screened, just choose them together. At this time, Mei Zhexu still didn't care much.

But when he really saw the monkey riding on the iron wheel, the parrot holding the grain of rice to form the country and the people's peace, and the dancing girl beating the drum with her water sleeve......

Every scene impacted Mei Zhexu's stereotype of Dayan Kingdom in the past five years.

"Cousin, this is a good ......"

"It's a fun ...... to the eye"

……

Su Wanning held her forehead: "Cousin Mei, there is a limit to the number, otherwise I don't want to screen out other teams, but the rules have already been set." ”

"Oh, I see." Mei Zhexu was still a little lost.

"The prince of the world does not have to be disappointed, please come with the slave and maid, the fire tree and silver flower will begin."

Su Wanning didn't take this inconspicuous palace maid to heart, until after walking out of a few corridors, things seemed to be a little wrong.

"This aunt, in front of which master are you serving?" Su Wanning has a broken jar attitude.

If it was really the coincidence that I met someone who was discussing the firelight beads on the wall that night, it must have been another bloody storm.
