Gu Niangzi, who was mixing spices on one side, said unhurriedly: "There are more than 70 people in this courtyard, who passed away thirteen years ago, and it has not been inhabited until now. ”

"This ......" Song Suqing frowned and glanced at the courtyard outside the window lattice, "Their clan relatives don't come to the door to distribute?" ”

"The clan relatives have also passed away." Mrs. He sighed, and was also recalled, "According to the laws of this dynasty, this courtyard has been reclaimed to the official house three years ago, and the state capital has also used this place as a place to handle official affairs, but ......"

The sudden pause in the voice caught Song Suqing's attention, and she raised her eyebrows: "However? ”

"This haunted place." Gu Niangzi said.

The author has something to say:

A chapter with more than 5,000 words is a double change in one.

Considering that it's all updated at night.,So I won't say a chapter at nine o'clock.,A chapter at more than ten o'clock.,Generally, as long as it's not to say no double change.,It's a double change in one by default.,In case someone doesn't know, so say it.。

Chapter 70: Injuries

(I don't like that you have something to hide from me)

The dark and deep eyes stared unblinkingly at the fading courtyard, and the sun fell emergingly, imprinting on the yellowed fallen leaves through the layers of branches, and the decayed fallen leaves shimmered with the last lustre.

Looking a little deeper, you can even see the pond in the middle of the courtyard, the water in the pond has long since become cloudy, and the fallen leaves and petals are drifting away with the waves.

Rao is like this, and you can also see how prosperous the Yin Mansion is, but now it has fallen into a 'haunted' field.

Song Suqing remembered the loneliness in Gu Qinning's eyes when he mentioned Yin Mansion, and then witnessed the current situation with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but his face was not revealed.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Niangzi in surprise, "How can it be haunted?" ”

"The Yin Mansion was wiped out by the mountain bandits overnight, and the people in the city said a lot, and the people of the Yin Mansion who were afraid of being unjustly killed wandered here, unwilling to stop." Gu Niangzi's tone was soft, and she spoke eloquently, her eyes swept over Mrs. He's slightly unhappy expression, she paused, and said with a smile: "If you want me to say that others are not afraid, I am afraid, this is just facing the courtyard of the Yin Mansion, and I don't dare to open the window a little later." ”

Song Suqing noticed her fluttering eyes, and then glanced at Mrs. He lightly, and shook the liquid in the glass bottle thoughtfully, "Don't say it's you, even I'm afraid."

The pale yellow liquid swayed up and down, and the water droplets dotted on the glass bottle slowly slid down, like fallen leaves floating to the wall, with nostalgia and reluctance, but still unable to resist the rules that already existed.

After Gu Niangzi stopped speaking, the courtyard also fell silent, leaving only the small sound of spices falling on the table.

Song Suqing's fingertips rubbed the glass bottle unhurriedly, the smooth glass bottle reflected her eyes, and some complicated thoughts flashed in her eyes.

She seemed to be playing with the glass bottle, but she was actually observing Gu Niangzi, knowing that she knew too much, and the urge to answer from time to time seemed to be deliberately revealing this matter to her.

Song Suqing glanced at Ming Yue out of the corner of her eye, quietly carrying her right hand, her fingertips sliding over her palm, and then withdrew her hand unhurriedly.

"Girl, do you smell this fragrance to your liking?"

Just like the afterglow of the sunset, the dazzling red liquid appeared in front of Song Xuqing's eyes, but there was only a small point.

She glanced at the expectant eyes, waved the plate, and the light and cold fragrance of plum blossoms swung into her heart along the wind, not as dazzling as the color and not eclipsed.

Song Xuqing's fingertips slid over the flower dew on the plate and said, "Gu Niangzi is a good craft, I like this fragrance very much." ”

"If the girl likes it, it's fine." Gu Niangzi said with a smile and took back the delicate and small plate, "This flower dew is already exposed, just mix a little spice in it, and the girl can send the maid to pick it up tomorrow." ”

Song Xu shook his chin and gave Ming Yue a look, "Gu Niangzi is so ingenious, I don't know who it is, this craft is extremely popular even if it enters Beijing." ”

The girl laughed. Gu Niangzi cleaned her fingertips with water, wiped the water droplets between her fingers with a dry handkerchief, and said: "I am from Zhuzhou, I came to Shanzhou a few years ago, and the season in Shanzhou is still within my acceptability. ”

"It's a coincidence, I'm going to Zhuzhou in the future." The corners of Song Suqing's mouth raised slightly, and the words were said to Gu Niangzi, but the afterglow of her eyes fell on Mrs. He.

"That lady is going to try the good taste restaurant in the west of Zhuzhou City, the food there is a must in Zhuzhou." Mrs. He answered with a smile.

"Mrs. He also knows?" Song Suqing looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that Mrs. Cheng He is also from Zhuzhou?" ”

"Not really." Mrs. He pinched a few wisps of spices in her hand and □□ unhurriedly, "Although my parents took a trip to Zhuzhou before leaving the pavilion, I still remember the good taste restaurant there, and I heard that Mrs. likes food, so I recommend it to you." ”

The words did not hide that he had inquired about Song Suqing.

Song Suqing dropped the handkerchief that wiped his fingertips, and smiled: "You know me." ”

Mrs. He smiled, and said unashamedly: "I have heard that Mrs. is lively and moving, even after entering the Guozi Prison, she will not lag behind the man, and such good words are naturally introduced to Shanzhou, and the lord often says to Zhiqiao that he should learn more from you, and don't stay at home all day." ”

"You've heard my name before." Song Xuqing's fingertips on the side clicked on the long table legs, and his eyes fell on He Zhiqiao's body, since he walked into the line of sight, He Zhiqiao was particularly quiet, so quiet that people would ignore her existence, "Miss He has her own temperament, if everyone is the same character, how boring it is." ”

Hearing this, He Zhiqiao raised his eyes slightly and looked at her calmly.

Song Suqing read a little gratitude in her eyes, and after a while, she lowered her eyes again and quietly selected spices.

Seeing this, Mrs. He smiled and said, "This child is just too quiet and dull, so we thought that she could be a little more lively, and make more friends to be able to walk around." ”

Song Suqing smiled and said 'um', understanding the worries of being a parent, but this is not something she can meddle in, and she doesn't talk much.

By the time He Zhiqiao finished selecting the spices, it was already early, and the figures downstairs in the Ningxiang Courtyard were getting more and more numerous, and it was lively, and the current scorching sun was a little hotter than when it was now, and it was no different from roasting on a torch on a person.

Song Suqing stood at the gate of the Ningxiang Courtyard, waiting for the carriage not far away, her eyes swept over the courtyard of the Yin Mansion, where the front of the door was empty, in stark contrast to the Ningxiang Courtyard ten zhang away.

Yu Guang saw He Zhiqiao's gaze, she retracted her eyes with a calm expression, and said, "It's not early, I'll go back and rest first, and if I go to Shanzhou in the future, I will gossip with Mrs. He and Miss He." ”

Mrs. He was stunned when she heard her say this, and thought that she could accompany her for a while, but she didn't expect that she was going back to the house now, so she hurriedly took out the invitation card in her sleeve and handed it out with both hands: "Tomorrow there will be a lotus banquet in the house, if the princess is bored in Shanzhou, you can come to the house to sit for a while." ”

"Hmm." Song Suqing did not refute her kindness, gave Ming Yue a look, and ordered her to accept the invitation, "If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will naturally go to the house for a walk." ”

When the words fell, the sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the ground gradually disappeared, and the wheels rolled over the bricks and stopped in front of Song Xuqing.

Song Suqing nodded and stepped on the stool to get into the car.

Just as she got into the car, she heard a soft voice behind her, and she turned her eyes sideways.

"Mother don't persuade me to make friends anymore, I have friends, it's just that she's gone."

He Zhiqiao's unwavering eyes stared at her, and the words were said to Mrs. He.

Hearing the lonely tone, Song Suqing trembled unconsciously, and immediately understood who she was referring to, pursed her lips, and sat down as if she hadn't heard it.

Fingertips slightly hooked the curtain covering the window lattice, looking at the street where no one passed, Song Suqing sighed deeply, she didn't guess why Gu Qinning would tell her about this, did she want her help, or didn't want her to misunderstand......

If you want to help, she is not in the East Palace in this life, and there is actually not much she can help, if you don't want her to misunderstand, are you afraid that she will misunderstand?

Song Suqing couldn't figure out what Gu Qinning was thinking about until she returned to the courtyard, and she couldn't figure out the intention, but no matter what, this memory was too heavy, and it was difficult for her to accept it as an outsider.

There is no one Song Suqing knows in Shanzhou, Pei Muyao has to return at night, and now the sun is shining, and she doesn't leave the house, so she finds a shady place to flip through the books.

By the time she came back to her senses, it was late afternoon.

The dim dusk shines in the book, and it hurts to see people's eyes.

Song Suqing closed the book, rubbed his eyes softly with his knuckles, looked at Ming Yue who came with nectar tea, and asked, "They haven't come back yet?" ”

"Yes." Ming Yue bowed her head and carefully handed the brewed teacup to Song Xuqing, "What Qi An said in the early morning is that the prince will come back after sunset." ”

"Then you go and ask the kitchen to prepare dinner in advance, and you can serve it when he comes back." Song Suqing took a sip of tea, soaking his dry throat, "It's sunset, I'm afraid I'll be back in a while." ”

Mingyue nodded, waved a little maid, and ordered her to go to the kitchen.

Song Suqing put down the teacup, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Ask someone to put the water away, and I will eat after bathing." ”

But until she came out of the bath, Pei Muyao never returned home.

Looking at the exquisite meals on the round table one after another, the maids in the kitchen came and went to heat up, Song Suqing's brows furrowed slightly, "What did Qi Anke say about leaving the house today?" ”

"The slave has no way of knowing about the prince's affairs." Ming Yue was keenly aware of the anxiety that her girl had inadvertently revealed, and reassured: "There are many secret guards around the prince, and it is late to come back before the matter is finished, so don't worry about the girl." ”

Song Suqing's expression was relieved when he heard this, but for some reason, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

After thinking about it, I felt that Ming Yue's words made sense, even if Pei Muyao was too busy to take care of himself, there were still Qi An Zechuan and others guarding by his side, naturally nothing would happen, and the drum beating in his heart gradually fell back to reality.

But wait, wait, wait, I didn't see Pei Muyao's figure for three minutes, and I didn't even have a message.

Looking at the already cold meal on the table, Song Xu stood up calmly and walked out without looking back.

Who knew that when he walked out of the hall, he happened to bump into the oncoming Qi An, and Qi An quickly turned sideways, "Princess." ”

Song Suqing swept over him with a fierce expression, made sure that he didn't see anything wrong in him, looked in the direction behind him, and didn't see any other figures, before asking, "Where is your prince?" ”

"The prince and Zechuan are still watching, for fear that the princess will be worried, send his subordinates back to report to you that they are safe."

Qi An gasped slightly, which showed how hurried he came back.

Song Suqing's heart was a little calmer, but he also felt strange, "What did you do, why did it take so long." ”

Hearing this, Qi An's eyes swept over the people waiting on the side, and said in a low voice: "The prince found a secret passage in the Yin Mansion, and this secret passage leads to the port, and it took a little effort to be entangled. ”

Song Xuqing's eyebrows furrowed, he considered his beard for a moment, and waved his hand to let Qi An go down, "You go back to him to protect, if you need me, remember to send someone to report." ”

Qi An received his order and hurried away.

Staring at his back, Song Suqing pursed her lips slightly, and said to Ming Yue: "You follow me to see where he went." ”

"Girl." Ming Yue raised her eyes in surprise and saw the worry in her eyes, and her heart was slightly cold.

Song Suqing lowered her head and stared at the ground where she was half kneeling, her expression was abandoned, and she ordered someone to bring a candle, the dim candle flame illuminated the ground, and the two drops of blood solidified on the bricks pierced her eyes fiercely.

She took a deep breath, then got up and walked out, and Ming Yue hurriedly followed.

It is also strange to say, on weekdays, even if the person who landed silently followed behind Qi'an, he could be shocked to notice that Song Suqing was following behind him at this moment, but he didn't see him turn back once, and he hurriedly walked out of the house.

When walking through the wall in front of the courtyard, he turned his footsteps, but went to the back of the courtyard, Song Xuqing tiptoed and hurriedly followed, holding his hand on the wall to look at it, only to see Qi An leap over the wall and enter the house.

Song Suqing: "......"

She glanced at Ming Yue, and also saw surprise in Ming Yue's eyes.

Song Suqing sighed deeply, turned around and went back to the house, and walked towards the oblique side courtyard of the main courtyard with heavy steps, where there was another courtyard and no one else lived.

Before they approached the courtyard, the two of them saw the window lattice of the attic, which should have been dark and silent, with a light candle flame flashing, and some footsteps sounding in the courtyard of the study house.

Qi An, who was guarding the door, saw Song Suqing's eyes widen suddenly, and when he was about to pass the message, Ming Yue's eyes quickly covered his mouth.

Song Su shook his head and motioned for him to step back.

Qi An looked at her with a puzzled expression, but only for a moment, he gave way.

Song Suqing stood in the doorway, the sound of conversation through the crack in the door echoed in her ears, and the click of scissors falling on the cotton cloth, and the slightest smell of atractylodes falling on the tip of her nose.

"Lord Wang, bear with me a little, I will wipe the wound for you now, this arrow wound is not deep, but you are afraid that you will not be able to move your right arm for some time, otherwise it will take more time to heal."

"Hmm." Pei Muyao said lightly, silent for a few breaths, and then he said again: "Qi Anke is back?" ”

"When I came back, my subordinates heard him." Sawakawa twisted his eyebrows and replied, "The princess is not suspicious. ”

Pei Muyao shook his head, "Then ......"

"Smack!"
