The messenger was the saint's confidant eunuch.

"The county lord must know that even if you become the crown princess in the future, His Royal Highness the crown prince will never be the only one, you are a smart person, you should persuade the prince to accept the side concubine."

Su Yao's expression was faint.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with the eldest girl of the Sheng family, and serving a husband together is not a good conversation?"

"The original words of the saint, he said, if it weren't for the prince's insistence on marrying you as his wife, this princess shouldn't be you, for the sake of father and son, he can only fulfill his wish, but you should also be sensible and know how to share the worries of the saint and the prince."

"In these two years, if you can persuade the prince to take a concubine, the saint will no longer care about the things that you have caused dislike between him and the prince, and you will be considered to have been punished. If in the past two years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still obsessed, unwilling to spread the branches and leaves, and favors you alone, then the saint will not be able to keep you. For the sake of the Su family's sacrifice for the country, the sage will make an exception and order you to reconcile with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Is she still grateful to the saint, not directly deposing her, but also saving the face of the Su family.

Su Yao listened to the commandment, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, but he was a little funny, "It seems that in the eyes of the sage, I am already a figure who has brought disaster to the country and the people." ”

Liu Fugui said with a smile: "The county lord is indeed captivating the country and the city. ”

Chapter 30

Soon after the eunuch who had delivered the message for the saint left, the gift list from the East Palace arrived.

Su Yao was not interested in looking at it, handed the gift list to Bai Lu, took the carriage to the shore of Lishui, stopped for a while, and then got into the carriage and asked the groom to go to the Hussar General's Mansion.

In fact, she had wanted to go for a long time, but the eldest princess didn't agree a few days ago, in the end, if she hadn't invited Mu Ru'an to Duan's house, she wouldn't have been killed.

No matter what others think, she has to go to the Hussar General's Mansion to make amends to Ru'an's parents.

When the porter of the General's Mansion saw Su Yao's carriage, he hesitated slightly, but still invited someone in and asked her to wait in the flower hall.

After a while, the maid beside the Fang family came over and said, "County Lord, my eldest lady is unwell and can't see you, so I'll wait here for a long time." ”

Su Yao said, "Madam, but you don't want to see me?" ”

The maid said: "The county lord said that he was joking, the county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, and he will marry to the East Palace next month, he is a noble person, how dare my wife not want to see you?" ”

Su Jiao lowered her eyelashes, and her long skirt slowly crossed the threshold, and walked out of the flower hall.

Fang's sideburns were half white, and he sat under the tree, holding Mu Ruan's small clothes for a hundred days in his hand.

"People are gone?"

The maid replied, "Gone." ”

Fang Shi was dumbfounded, and sighed: "Ru'an, this child, I manage her very strictly on weekdays, she complained to me more than once, saying that I have never seen a girl from any family and have access control, and we are a military general's family, and we have been in charge for more than ten years, seeing her being given marriage, depressed, I don't care anymore, let her make trouble, who knows that this time it killed her." ”

Wei Yuan took the Imperial Forest Army to search and rescue on the banks of the Lishui River for nearly half a month, but he didn't catch anything else except for her outer clothes.

"If it weren't for the county lord inviting the young lady to the crown ceremony of Narauszi, the young lady would not have disappeared like this." The maid couldn't help but sob.

The sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard all around.

A few withered yellow leaves fell on Fang's body, she dusted them off, shook her head and said, "Don't be open-mouthed, how about the county lord, it's not your turn to talk nonsense." ”

The maid closed her mouth tightly, but her eyes were not convinced.

Fang said this, and he also knew in his heart that if Ru An continued to mess around, something would happen sooner or later, but he couldn't do anything wrong with Su Yao.

Ru An is her youngest daughter who was conceived and given birth in October and has worked hard for more than ten years.

This maid was originally serving the Fang clan, and was later sent by the Fang clan to Mu Ru'an.

Mu Ru'an's two close maids, one is Hong'er and the other is this Lu'er, and the three of them grew up together, and their love is extraordinary.

Lu'er replied to Fang's family, and then went back to the Hefeng Courtyard where Mu Ru lived.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Su Yao, who was supposed to leave the house, was in their young lady's house!

Hong'er was still happily talking to her, but Lu'er couldn't drink Su Yao, so she pulled Hong'er out angrily: "What are you bringing her here for?" Don't forget how our young lady didn't! ”

Hong'er said: "How do you speak! The county lord has a great favor to our young lady, and she can come whenever she wants, and if the young lady is alive, she can't blame me. ”

"I see you've been blinded by lard! Miss is gone these days, you said that you were sad for a few days, and now you are still smiling when you see her, I think you are a white-eyed wolf, because you think our general's temple is small, and you want to climb high branches, but you can't follow her! ”

Lu'er thought that Hong'er would refute, but Hong'er said meaningfully: "Miss has already returned the deed between the two of us, and now that Miss is gone, even if I leave and go to the county lord's mansion, no one can say anything about me, it is better than serving other masters." ”

Lu'er just said it casually, but Hong'er really had this thought, and she couldn't say anything angrily: "Okay, I can remember, I'll go and tell the eldest lady what you said immediately, you really have a dog on your conscience!" Our young lady really misjudged you! ”

Su Yaowu hurt herself, and tapped her finger on the cage where the pigeon was kept, although Mu Ruan had never been on the battlefield, she had a lot of skills, she could not only play with knives and guns, but also train pigeons, and she personally trained the pigeons in her house.

When I walked out of the door, I saw the maid I had just met in the flower hall, and brought a few servants and maids who were also dressed up, blocking Hong'er violently.

Hong'er curled her shoulders helplessly and looked at her.

Lu'er opened her mouth with an angry tone: "What are you hiding? Didn't you see that our young lady was gone, and you were going to be a slave to the county lord? Now that the county lord is here, you ask the county lord if you will accept your conscienceless one! ”

Wei Yuan came to the door for a few days, and only today did he follow Su Yao's light and enter the Hussar General's Mansion, and happened to bump into this scene.

He searched for hours that day, and he always felt that something was wrong.

In a flash of light, he came up with an unbelievable idea.

Muruan may not have been in the water at all.

With Mu Ru'an's personality, she also did the matter of escaping from the marriage, but he sent another man to guard the city gate, but he also found nothing.

So in the past few days, Wei Yuan has been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the hussar general's mansion, and if he is asked to grasp the handle, it will not be regarded as a bamboo basket to draw water.

The two maidens in front of him were the ones he sent people to keep an eye on.

It is absolutely impossible for Mu Ruan to escape quietly, and the two maids who are most likely to help her are these two maids and Su Yao.

Su Yao didn't notice that someone was looking at her, and after listening to Lu'er's words, she frowned.

Hong'er has always been loyal to Ru'an, how could she say such a thing?

Could it be that Ru An told her something?

With this thought, Su Yao's heart that had not been wavering for a long time suddenly beat rapidly, and countless thoughts appeared in his heart.

When she was puzzled, Hong'er suddenly cried: "County Lord, you may take in slaves?" The slave maid can't stay in this house anymore, I hope you will read it for the sake of the young lady, and let the slave and maid serve you. ”

Lu'er said angrily: "Where did you come from, Miss Face!" ”

Seeing that several people were about to make a move, Su Yao spoke, and his voice was soft.

"Don't argue, for the sake of your many years of service to Ru'an, I will let you follow me."

Hong'er was overjoyed: "Thank you to the county lord, the county lord saved my life, Hong'er will serve wholeheartedly!" ”

The servants who had been serving Mu Ru'an were extremely angry, but they were helpless, they ran to ask the Fang clan with their heads down, got permission, and watched Su Yao take Hong'er away, before they scolded indignantly.

Among them, the maid in green was the most vicious.

Wei Yuan walked out from behind the tree, his face pale.

Jiang Wu leaned over and said: "Your Highness, look at this situation, it is that Hong'er has no backer in the General's Mansion, and she has climbed to the county lord of Yongjia by virtue of Mu Ru'an's affection, and the other maids seem to despise her behavior very much." ”

Wei Yuan's smile was very shallow, "Good birds choose trees to perch." In the future, these maids will be sent to do rough work, or serve a difficult master, thinking of today, may not be regretful, regret that they did not go with Su Yao today. ”

He didn't bother to take care of these maids' affairs, but Jiang Wu's next sentence was said in his heart, "It's just that this Hong'er entered the county lord's mansion and entered the East Palace in the future, and if his subordinates want to send someone to watch her, or pry something out of her mouth, I'm afraid it will be impossible." ”

Wei Yuan pointed with his eyes and said, "That's not another one." ”

"Give her a try."

……

Su Jiao took Hong'er back to the county lord's mansion, and even Bai Lu didn't let her follow, and as soon as she entered the house, she asked people to close the doors and windows.

The dim light shone down obliquely through the cracks in the window, and the fine dust floated in the air, and she could not suppress the tremor of her voice, and asked, "But Joan told you to do this?" ”

Hong'er was surprised, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and said, "The county lord is wise, it was my young lady who made me 'kicked out'!" ”

After she finished saying this, she methodically talked about how Mu Ru'an used the flower bud to contact the outside world, how she got acquainted with the young owner of the Yin family's caravan, and how she used the chaotic golden cicada to get out of her shell......

When it came to the critical moment, Su Yao was still a little afraid, and when Hong'er finished speaking, a thin sweat appeared on her forehead.

The huge surprise made her still a little unable to recover, and her eyes were red again, but this time she was lucky.

Hong'er continued: "God knows this matter, Miss knows about the county lord, and the rest is only known to the young owner of the Yin family. The young lady was worried that someone would be suspicious, so she didn't even tell Lu'er.

She was afraid that those people would hear any rumors from the slave maid, and because the young lady wanted to contact the county lord, she would not let the slave and maid come if she was pretending to be someone else, so the young lady specially told the slave and maid before leaving, and she would definitely let the county lord accept me. ”

"I know that she has always liked to mess around, but this time, even I was kept in the dark." Su Yao pretended to be angry, "I was going to cry blind a few days ago, why didn't you come to tell me?" ”

Hong'er shouted injustice: "This is the inconvenience of the slave and maid, if you don't come with the county master, the slave and maid may not be pointed out to which girl is on mission, every day is watched, and she can't even leave the house, how can she tell the county lord all this, even if you tell the county lord, and frequently send messages, I am afraid that it will be suspected by people with a heart, and then it will fall short." ”

Su Yao said: "It's such a reason. So where is she now? ”

"Counting the days, it should have been successfully to Wuzhou," Hong'er said with a smile: "It's an extremely beautiful place, next to Yangzhou." ”

"Wuzhou?" Su Yao remembered the bamboo she saw in Lishui Villa, she was also from Wuzhou, "It just so happened that I heard it." ”

Hong'er smiled and said, "This is the place that the young lady has chosen for a long time, and she still wants to meet you one day." ”

The smile on the corner of Su Yao's lips gradually faded.

She will be the crown princess in a month, how can any crown princess leave Beijing at will?

In this life, she can't leave the capital.

Unless......

A trace of strangeness crossed Su Yao's eyes, she lowered her eyelids, and the fan unconsciously slapped twice on her chest.

Unless, she chooses the second choice given by the saints.

As long as Wei Jingji has no other woman besides her in the past two years, the saint will never keep her by his side.

This is a holy decree, and even Wei Jingji cannot resist it.

When she made a request, the sage would definitely agree, and as long as Wei Jingji had not succeeded to the throne in the past two years, then this path would be feasible.

In this way, she doesn't have to serve a husband with her friends, and she doesn't have to be trapped in the deep palace, pretending to be virtuous and virtuous.

After leaving her, she went to Jiangnan and traveled with Ru'an, which was not much better than being confined to the capital.

Su Yao was silent for a long time and fell into deep thought.
