The moment the words fell, there was a heavy knock on the locked door inside.

Song Xuqing's tense heart raised to his throat and eyes, and he stared at the closed door with his eyebrows, and at this time, it was pushed from the outside again.

Xianwen and Qin Ting immediately blocked in front of her, staring at the door that was being pushed, and the guards who picked up the big scissors and were about to continue pruning the flower branches also forgot to change the blade, but grabbed the big scissors in the direction of the gate.

Song Suqing looked around at the guards in the courtyard and pursed his lips: "Xianwen stayed to explore the outside of the door, and the rest of the people followed me." ”

The author has something to say:

Chapter 76: Contrast

(The girl is the person of comparison that Miss Xie is looking for)

Hyeonwen received the order, and walked quietly in the direction of the main gate with one of the guards.

Song Xuqing lifted the lid of the teapot and poured the hot tea into the trees, and casually threw the teapot and cups into the neatly trimmed bushes, glanced at the rickety door, and walked inside without looking back.

"Girl, it's me and Qi'an."

At this moment, suddenly a familiar voice came through the crack in the door, and Song Xuqing, who heard some sounds, paused, his dark pupils gradually dilated, and his eyes stared at the door directly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xianwen's surprised eyes, Song Suqing knew that he had heard correctly, and walked quickly towards the door through the crowd.

When she came, Xianwen had already walked to the door, through the gap and the people outside to the code, after getting a familiar answer, he happily bowed his head to Song Xuqing, and pushed open the door at her signal.

The next moment, the figures of Qi An and Ming Yue and the other three fell into Song Suqing's eyes, her tense heart fell suddenly, her eyes swept over the blood stains on Ming Yue's clothes, and she didn't know how much suffering she had experienced.

After the three people outside the door saw Song Suqing, their hearts were suddenly relieved, and the sorrow of sending off their companions and friends dissipated a little.

Looking at their slightly lonely looks, Song Xuqing's eyes circled the three of them, remembering the five people she said when she returned, and she also understood a little in her heart, She beckoned, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Come in." ”

Ming Yue stepped forward to bless her body, and was helped up by Song Suqing before her knees bent down, her eyes lifted, "Girl......"

"No need to be polite." Song Suqing's fingertips ran over her hair stuck to the root of her ear, pulled it behind her ear, and swept her eyes over Qi An, who was standing aside, her mind calmed a little, "I just learned the news of your disappearance, and I thought you were still trapped over there, when did you get out?" ”

"The subordinates didn't have to deal with them for long, and they returned to the place where they met at night, but fortunately, the horses were still there, so they rode back, but on the way they met the secret guards they supported, so ......" Qi An's eyes darkened, and a trace of choking slipped through his forbearant voice, "After getting out again, the subordinates and others hurried back after burying the two of them." ”

There was only the voice of Qi'an in the silent courtyard, and after the voice fell and disappeared, only the breath of the breeze was left, and the corners of Song Suqing's mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

Life is at stake, and no amount of words is just a pale and weak statement.

Song Xuqing's eyes swept slowly and methodically over everyone present, knowing that they were all comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, and they all thought that there might be such a day, but it was still a blow when it really came.

There was a slight choking sound echoing in her ears, and she was panicked when she heard it, and she remembered the back of the horse that night when she rode away, and she stood upright, and her clear eyes were rippling with a little water, but now was not a good time.

Song Suqing was ready to act according to Shicai's plan, cleared his throat and recalled everyone's thoughts, "Since they are all back, then leave with me." ”

The others were busy packing up the dry food, but Qi An stood still with a slight expression.

After Song Suqing told Qin Ting to bring enough dry food and water, he saw Qi An's expression of wanting to speak and stop when he turned sideways, and in an instant, he understood what he wanted to say.

She glanced at Qi An unhurriedly, and waved her hand after making sure he was fine, "Go, you and Zechuan have one by his side, and I can rest assured." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Qi An's eyes lit up instantly, and he took the dry food hurriedly handed by Ming Yue and walked out of the yard without looking back, taking away the horses that had taken a short rest and rode away with a whip.

Song Suqing retracted his gaze, ordered Xianwen to close the door, and led everyone to the kitchen.

After the stone wall was moved, everyone escorted Song Suqing into the secret passage, and when Qin Ting and Xianwen were left, she suddenly heard a noisy sound in the courtyard, and her heart was cold, and she couldn't care too much, so she immediately reached out and pulled the two in.

The stick was inserted into the candlestick, and the stone wall closed at the right time, blocking out the noise of the outside world.

The guards who were exploring the way ahead lit the candlesticks in the secret passage, and the dark passages were lit one by one.

However, the secret passage of 500 zhang, if you go straight and go straight, the slowest and slowest is also half an hour's foot, but it is done like a maze that disturbs people's minds, not to mention the seven turns, and some fortresses even do three directions.

If it weren't for the fact that Da Wen was a little familiar with this, everyone was afraid that it would take a day's journey.

When he was about to arrive at another secret door in the secret passage, Xian Wen led a few people to explore the road first, and Song Suqing walked for an hour without interruption, his legs and feet were also a little sore, and he found a place to rest on the wall.

"Girl." Ming Yue handed over a pot of water, and held a neatly packaged dry food in the other hand, "Let's eat something." ”

Song Suqing took the water and took a shallow sip to moisten his throat, pretending that he had no appetite for things in his heart, and he really couldn't eat, so he waved his hand: "You guys eat, I can't eat." ”

Glancing at her, Ming Yue knew in her heart, knowing that she was worried about the prince's affairs, and said: "The girl doesn't have to be anxious, the slave maid and Xianwen and others have followed the prince for many years, and they have not seen the prince do anything that he is not sure of. ”

Hearing this, Song Xuqing's slightly drooping eyes lifted slightly.

"If the girl doesn't believe me, ask the others if they think so." Ming Yue said again.

Saying that he was about to call Qin Ting, Song Suqing quickly grabbed her wrist and shook his head unhurriedly, "I don't believe you, I just have a new understanding of these things." ”

Before coming to Shanzhou, Song Suqing knew that Pei Muyao needed to work hard to get to that position step by step, but after coming to Shanzhou, he experienced these things firsthand, and he had a deeper understanding of his style.

Song Xuqing's eyes swept over the guards who were biting on dry food and talking and laughing, and finally landed on Ming Yue's body, she raised her hand slightly, "I don't know yet, where is your home, why did you come to be a secret guard?" ”

Ming Yue smiled indifferently: "The slave maid's house is cold, and there are brothers and sisters who are not full of food and clothing, and they can be regarded as finding a good place to go, and it is a little bitter, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they can be regarded as fulfilling their childhood wishes." ”

After a pause, she said again: "Except for Qi'an and Zechuan, everyone is similar, they are all looking for a way out. ”

After listening to this, Song Suqing nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Da Xianwen, who went to explore the way, came back with someone, and he arched his hand: "Princess." ”

Song Suqing retracted his fluttering thoughts and stood up straight, "How." ”

"There is an abandoned wellhead in front of you, just climb up after setting up a ladder, just ......" Xianwen pondered for a moment, and continued under her signal: "It's just that it's daylight now, and if so many people go out, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of others." ”

"Then wait until it gets dark." Song Suqing commanded, Yu Guang saw that everyone was quite tired, his eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to signal him to rest, "Let them all have a good rest, I don't know what will happen when I go out at night, cultivate my spirit and act at night." ”

After finishing speaking, Song Suqing found a place, sat down casually, and closed his eyes slightly.

Qin Ting quietly approached and looked at the princess's beautiful face, pulled Ming Yue's sleeve, and raised her chin slightly to signal her to leave with her, "The princess has been sleepless for two days, and she often wakes up from nightmares, and now that she finally has sleepiness, don't bother her." ”

After the two walked to a no-man's land, Qin Ting informed Ming Yue of what had happened recently, especially in terms of daily life.

In the two days when Pei Muyao was sent away at the beginning of the year, Song Suqing was able to take them and his group to talk about book strategies, and he also found an empty space to move out the books in his spare time, and became a teaching gentleman to tell them about the knowledge in the books, and occasionally took them to talk.

However, including Song Suqing, everyone's chess skills are not proficient, even if they play five beads, it will end in less than a cup of tea, and after the game is played one by one, the courtyard is full of laughter.

It's just that time goes by, and since the day before the cargo ship docked, Qin Ting was keenly aware of the princess's wrongness, and she didn't show it in front of everyone during the day, but she tossed and turned for a long time at night, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

I finally fell asleep when the day was about to dawn, but I woke up in a few hours.

Ming Yue listened to what Qin Ting said, her eyes gradually became dyed with surprise, she turned to look at her girl for a while, and sighed in her heart.

No one in Beijing knows that the concubines of the Hou Mansion are pampered and raised, and even bumps and bumps are rare, but now seeing Song Suqing's tenacious appearance, he did not forget to leave with them while running, and he was at ease in the face of the surrounding crises, which was not at all like what everyone remembered.

"When I first saw the princess, I thought she was a delicate lady, but after getting along for a few days, I knew that she was not at all like the group of people in Beijing said." Qin Ting raised her head and drank a sip of water, soaking her dry throat caused by her words, "Do you say that the group of people in Beijing don't know people clearly, they used to compare Miss Xie with the princess, and said that the princess is not as good as Miss Xie family, I think they were poked blind." ”

"There is a contrast before there is a boast." Ming Yue handed the dry food in her hand to Qin Ting, took the kettle and raised her head to drink, raised her hand to wipe off the water stains that slipped from the corner of her mouth to her neck, "Everyone knows that Miss Xie is very knowledgeable, but if you want to put this profound knowledge above the heads of all the noble girls in Beijing, you naturally want to find a person to compare, and the girl is the person who Miss Xie Family is looking for." ”

Qin Ting gnawed on the dry food for a slight pause, glared and swallowed the dry food anxiously, "You mean, this is Xie Zijin deliberately doing this, deliberately spreading such rumors?" ”

At this time, Miss Xie stopped calling her by her name.

Ming Yue's eyes turned to the girl with her eyebrows tightly twisted, and she bowed her head: "The prince ordered me to investigate the matter of Miss Xie in private, and I searched around and found out that something was wrong, but I only found out about this matter before leaving Beijing, if she hadn't come to Shanzhou, she wouldn't know where she is now." ”

After receiving the order, Ming Yue deliberately began to investigate from the gossip in Beijing, and this investigation only learned that it turned out that the talkative people in Beijing often compared the girl with Xie Zijin, and every time the girl was mentioned, she finally had to say how Miss Xie was doing, and then she went deeper, only to find out that Miss Xie ordered someone to do it deliberately, just to set off her own reputation.

Looking for other family daughters to make comparisons, how can they achieve the effect of using the daughters of the Hou Mansion to make comparisons.

Xie Zijin also figured out Song Xuqing's unfamiliar nature of ignoring the world and ignoring right and wrong, so she dared to act like this, if it wasn't for the reputation of the Hou Mansion, she was afraid that she would make these rumors spread more wanton and unscrupulous.

Qin Ting couldn't help but shudder when she heard this, and snorted: "This Xie Zijin is also idle, and when she is full and has nothing to do, she will only think about some crooked and evil things, no wonder she dared to do such a shameless thing before the princess entered the palace." ”

What's more, except for Ming Yue, the other guards have only heard the rumors in Beijing, and they only know that Xie Zijin vainly tried to enter the palace on the day after the wedding of the prince and princess, seeking the position of side concubine, which is really shameful.

But Ming Yue knew that Xie Zijin really wanted to kill the girl in order to enter the palace, if it wasn't for the girl's timely response at that time, I am afraid that she would have broken her appearance.

Thinking of this, Ming Yue retracted her eyes: "What the prince asked you to find, have you found it?" ”

When Qin Ting heard this, her face was radiant, and her words were full of pride: "Naturally, I just can't find it, and I will press Dr. Hu to make it." ”

Ming Yue bowed her head, booed, and quietly walked towards Song Suqing, took out the blanket from the burden she was carrying, and draped it lightly, for fear of waking her up.

Maybe she was really tired, Song Suqing slept for two hours, and when she woke up, everyone was ready.

Song Suqing rubbed his hazy eyes, covered his mouth and yawned, but before he could stand up, he said first: "Let's go." ”

"If the girl hasn't rested well, she can rest a little longer." Ming Yue looked at the green silk under her eyes and said worriedly.

"Don't delay." Song Suqing held her palm, stood up and stretched her arms, followed Da Xianwen and led everyone away.

Xianwen led the two guards to climb out of the well first, and after making sure that there was no one around, he whistled and told Song Suqing that it was safe to go up and could come up.

Looking at the ladder that couldn't see the height clearly, Song Suqing couldn't help but smile when she heard Qin Ting worrying about how she was going to go up, she put her hands on both sides of the ladder and stepped on it, and said playfully: "Don't worry about me, climb over." ”

Her clear and translucent eyes blinked slightly, blinking into Qin Ting's heart, and her mouth exclaimed that it was so beautiful.

Song Xuqing stared at the ladder of the cloud ladder with lowered eyes, stepped on it step by step, and climbed up only after making sure that he had stepped on it.

Until I looked up and could see the twinkling stars above the round well, I also had a little hope in my heart, and continued to climb up.

When he was about to lean out of the well, Song Xuqing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see the lines of this palm in the night, so he raised his head and said, "I don't need it, you can go nearby to see if there is a ......"

Halfway through speaking, his raised eyes suddenly fell into a pair of eyes as deep as a clear pool, and a slight smile flashed under his deep and dark eyes, which made people want to peek into them.

Song Suqing blinked, and an unknown astringency gradually appeared in his heart, and he tugged at his heart fiercely.

Her lightly opened lips trembled several times before she overflowed: "Pei Muyao, you are finally back." ”

The author has something to say:

Working overtime today, there is no double change, but there is a single bigger fat chapter with 4k words!

Chapter 77: The Abandoned Son

(Why don't you blame your subservient master)

Just like the bright moon and the clear breeze of the voice, staring at the eyes that wanted to speak, Pei Muyao's heart tightened, and his chest seemed to have been gently kneaded, with a slight itch, followed by overwhelming astringency.

His voice was hoarse: "It's my fault, it's late." ”

Listening to his apologetic words, Song Suqing pursed his lips and shook his head, let go of the left hand that was gripping the ladder and fell into his outstretched palm, and climbed up lightly with his strength.

Song Suqing didn't have time to stand firm in the moment she landed, and the person in front of her pulled her into her arms with a slight pull, and the palm attached to her waist was impenetrable, holding her fiercely in his arms.

She didn't have time to rejoice, but she felt his fingertips tremble slightly, as if with a little joy for the rest of his life.
