On July 26, the sky is high and cool, and it is suitable for travel.

Liu Xinning and Xiao Muze, with the maids and guards quietly set off from Zhaoyang City early in the morning.

This outing, the emphasis is on being casual.

If the scenery of any place is good, Liu Xinning will stay for a few more days and enjoy it carefully.

If the scenery of that place is average, Liu Xinning will quickly take a look at the flowers and leave.

In the evening of this day, they entered the county seat of Xian'an and chartered a large courtyard in the most luxurious inn.

Liu Xinning was sitting in the house drinking tea and resting when there was a knock on her door.

Chun Nuan hurriedly went to open the door, only to see Xiao Muze come in with a cold face.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Liu Xinning looked at Xiao Muze's serious expression and asked curiously.

"There's something wrong with your maid Mei Rui, she betrayed you."

"What?" This exclamation was made by the spring warmth who was waiting on the sidelines.

And although Liu Xinning was not shocked, her face changed.

Mei Rui, as a second-class maid, is qualified to serve in the main house in the capital.

Even when she arrived in Zhaoyang City, she was also the main person who went into the main house to serve. Now, it's the people who travel with them.

If she has a problem, then the problem is really big.

After Chun Nuan exclaimed, she quickly covered her mouth and looked at Xiao Muze with a panicked expression.

Xiao Muze didn't blame Chun Nuan, but continued: "When I arranged for someone to guard it today, I saw that Mei Rui was in a corner, sneakily taking a note from a pigeon's foot, and looked at it with a solemn face. After I took it, I saw that it said that Merry must persuade you to go to the Fairy Lake. Later, I asked the guards to escort her to the firewood room for careful interrogation, only to find out that she had been passing on the news to others. ”

Liu Xinning's face became more and more heavy.

It's no wonder that Mei Rui didn't come into the room to serve for such a long time.

She also thought that Mei Rui was going to help her explore the good spots nearby as before, but she didn't expect to be tortured for delivering the news.

"Who did she send my message to?" Liu Xinning asked with a sinking face.

Merry said she didn't know. She just tied your message to the carrier pigeon as requested. As for to whom it was passed on, she had no idea. ”

"It seems that it is the peripheral informant of development. However, I don't know how I can make people pay so much attention? ”

Liu Xinning sneered.

She's just a woman. Even if he is a county lord, he actually can't play much role in political battles.

However, there are still people who collect news about her?

"Did Merry say why she betrayed me? How long have you betrayed me? ”

Liu Xinning asked, while carefully thinking about what Mei Rui had participated in about her.

"She's a soft bone. It was just a few words of intimidation for her, and then a little more punishment was all taken. ”

Xiao Muze told the scene of Mei Rui's confession in detail.

It turned out that after Mei Rui became Liu Xinning's second-class maid, her identity was naturally rising.

Therefore, there are many flattering people around me.

However, that Merry is not stupid. She understands where everything she comes from, so she does her best for Liu Xinning.

However, women, who can cross thousands of mountains and rivers, are sad.

Mei Rui met one of the guards in the mansion in mid-May last year, and fell in love with the man at first sight.

The man was an orphan in the army, adopted by the royal guards, and then trained as a guard.

Later, he was assigned to the eldest princess's mansion as a guard.

The man was tender and sweet to Mei Rui, and the two quickly fell in love.

After he made love with Mei Rui, he secretly agreed to wait for Mei Rui to reach the age, so he went to ask his master to let them get married.

However, in June, when the salt and gold mines were officially mined, Mei Rui received a letter from the capital.

The man was controlled.

The man in control demanded that Merry do as he was told, or else kill the man.

Along with the letter was a distress letter written by the man and a token of promise that Mei Rui had given to the man.

Mei Rui panicked, and actually agreed.

The other party Xu was because it was inconvenient to send the message, so he only asked Mei Rui to inform him of Liu Xinning's route to Beijing, but did not ask anything else.

After learning that Liu Xinning was going to leave early, Mei Rui pleaded hard and got the opportunity to follow in order to pass the route back to Beijing.

"Along the way, Na Merry had to run errands, so there were a lot of times when she acted alone. And because the guards only focused on the perimeter guard, no one noticed that Mei Rui was wrong. This time, I also happened to find out. Xiao Muze was both happy and guilty.

He was in charge of guarding Liu Xinning's safety, but he never found this spy.

This time, he found Liu Xinning's favorite dim sum in the shop on the street, so he bought it and sent it over.

It was such a coincidence that he discovered what Mei Rui had done.

"It's not your fault. Mei Rui is my maid. I've always trusted her, and I really don't focus on her. Let's focus on the dangers that may exist on the outside, where do we think that there will be mistakes inside? ”

Liu Xinning said with a wry smile.

She, the master, didn't notice the situation of this person, how can she blame Xiao Muze who doesn't pay attention to the affairs of her daughters?

She did notice that Mei Rui's mind was a little restless, but she only thought that it was because she had advised her not to be a demon of helping her brother.

After all, the current trend is still patriarchal. Being an elder sister is for the family, and dedication to the younger brother is almost a convention.

She only thought that her own thoughts had made Mei Rui feel uneasy, where did she think that it was because Mei Rui had betrayed her and sent news to others?

After a wry smile, she began to reminisce carefully.

Because of her limited trust in others, she only took Chun Nuan to do many things.

That is, after going to Zhaoyang County, Mei Rui will follow more.

However, Mei Rui knew at most that she didn't go to You'an County to guard filial piety.

This matter, thanks to the fact that she has reported it to Emperor Qingping and the Queen Mother. So, even if it gets out, it doesn't matter much.

Those so-called reputations, she didn't care.

And now, listening to Xiao Muze's interrogation, Mei Rui didn't even spread this, so she didn't have to worry.

However, as long as she returns to Beijing, does she want to do something on the road?

What kind of hands and feet do you move?

Is it to ruin her innocence? Or do you want her to get hurt with her hands and feet broken? Still is...... Want her life?

Why?

Is it because you're thinking about her salt and gold mines? Or was it because she sabotaged the man's gold mining plan?

She always felt that the fifth prince was the first suspect......

Stop! Inertial thinking is unacceptable, and it is certainly unreliable!

Proof, proof!

Liu Xinning tried hard to get her thoughts back and focus on the things in front of her.

"Now, is it for Mei Rui to persuade me to go to Fairy Lake?" Liu Xinning groaned.

Fairy Lake is a basin outside Xian'an County, with blue water in it.

Everyone said that this place was the place where the fairies came down to bathe and change their clothes, so it was as clear as the blue sky. The view is stunning.

This is the news that Merry had learned from the innkeeper and told her.

"Is there anything special near the Fairy Lake?"

Liu Xinning has walked along the way, and there are many scenic spots that she has passed.

However, she puts safety first, so she tries to avoid any steep terrain or unstable factors.

Let her go to Fairy Lake?

So, is there anything special near this fairy lake that will definitely succeed?
