Liu Xi'er thought that Huo Shu had come to Daqi, and the whole person was a little absent-minded in the past two days, recalling the years that their mother and daughter had lived in Lin'an, step by step to this day, only they themselves know how difficult it was.

The guests who were drinking tea in the tea hall listened to the song from behind the screen with a deep sadness, and the more they listened, the more depressed they felt.

"Miss Liu, let's change the tune!" said a diner, who was in a good mood at first, but felt irritable when he listened to this song, and seemed to be too sad.

Liu Xi'er snapped her fingers and stopped.

She took a deep breath, changed to a light minor key, and listened to the music that played from her fingertips, and the more she listened, the more irritable she became, and the speed became faster and more chaotic, only to hear the sound of "bang-", and the strings broke.

Everyone looked at each other, and some even booed.

Liu Xi'er stood up directly from her position, turned around and walked out through the door behind her.

As soon as she walked out, she saw An Ruyi standing in front of her, looking at her worriedly.

Liu Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile at him.

An Ruyi stepped forward and said, "Let someone make your favorite dish, you rest first, and we'll have lunch together later." ”

Listening to An Ruyi's words, Liu Xi'er said with some puzzlement: "Why didn't you go to deal with official business today?"

An Ruyi chuckled: "Those official duties are not worth mentioning compared to you." ”

Liu Xi'er frowned, and said seriously: "You have finally gained a firm foothold in the court now, I don't know how many people are staring at you, but you can't do it willfully." ”

"The way you look now, how can I feel at ease to deal with other things?" An Ruyi said, "If you have anything, you must tell me." ”

Looking at his serious gaze, Liu Xi'er suddenly chuckled and nodded: "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry about me, yesterday was just an accident, everything will pass." Otherwise, tomorrow my mother will come back and discipline me again. ”

An Ruyi's eyes sank slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "Then you have a good rest, remember to let people find me if you have something." ”

"Well, I'm not a three-year-old child, so I know how to do it. Liu Xi'er said, "Go back quickly." ”

An Ruyi touched her head and turned to leave.

Looking at his figure going out, Liu Xi'er's original smiling face gradually put away.

Her mother had said that they couldn't just talk to others about their identity, so she never told An Ruyi that she was from the Great Zhou, nor did she tell him once about her father's Huo Killing.

Everyone thought that Liu Yue was just a widow with her oil bottle.

But now that Huo Kill is here, she is very entangled, after so many years, she doesn't know whether to hate him or miss him, but fortunately, her mother will come back tomorrow.

Liu Xi'er dragged her heavy steps back to her room, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, squinted her eyes slightly and looked around, as if someone had come, she walked in and saw a bunch of strange things on the table in the room.

She walked forward, all jewelry, some small cakes wrapped, and two strings of sugar gourds, her favorite osmanthus cake when she was a child, and hand-woven grasshoppers......

Looking at it, her tears fell without warning.

Her hand clenched tightly, she trembled a little, took a deep breath, and directly raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears.

"Come on, take these things out and throw them away!" she said.

The two maids hurriedly stepped forward and saw the things on the table, and looked at each other puzzled, they hadn't seen these things when they had just left the young lady's room, and they hadn't seen anyone enter the young lady's room, so where did these things come from?

But when the young lady spoke, they hurried forward and took everything with them.

Liu Xi'er was about to sit down, when suddenly a small servant hurriedly walked in.

"Miss, here's a letter that says it's for you. ”

Liu Xi'er didn't even raise her head: "Who gave the letter?"

The little guy said: "Just now, not long after Gongzi An left, a person came over mysteriously, stuffed the letter, and said something related to the proprietress . ”

As soon as she heard that it was related to her mother, Liu Xi'er took the letter in the little girl's hand and opened it.

But as soon as she saw the letter, her eyes widened slightly.

"If you want Liu Yue to live, meet you in a broken temple on the outskirts of the city today, and bring a thousand taels of silver, don't tell anyone, don't bring others, otherwise you will kill her!"

The letter also contained a jade pendant that his mother had brought with him......

Mother is hijacked!

Liu Xi'er's mind was in a mess, but what she could barely think about was that they had a humble status and just opened a small teahouse, why would anyone target them? Is it just for money?

One thousand taels is not a particularly difficult thing for them, but if they go forward in such an unclear way, they are afraid that there is a calculation.

She tried her best to calm down, and said to the little girl: "You immediately send someone to the Zhuangzi outside the city to see if your mother is there, and when you see her, you will immediately come back to report and let someone inform Ruyi." ”

"Yes. Seeing that the young lady was so nervous, the little guy walked down quickly to make arrangements.

She paced back and forth in the room, looking at the letter in her hand, the handwriting was clear and neat, and it didn't look like it was written by an ordinary robber.

Could it be that he is dealing with himself for Ruyi?

She placed the letter in her hand to the dresser, then turned and walked out of the room.

Ah Qi, who was hanging upside down on the roof, fell directly, looked at the letter, and then walked in the direction of Ni's mansion.

In the past two days, Shen Yanshu has been quiet in Ni's mansion, and Ni Wan will often come to Beishang Courtyard to relieve her boredom.

"Did you see clearly that what was written in the letter?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Ah Qi nodded and said, "That sister also asked people to find An Ruyi." ”

Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed, on the day she came back, Ah Qi saw An Ruyi in the Tea House, she didn't expect Liu Xi'er and An Ruyi to have an intersection, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.

She pondered for a while, since this person wanted to calculate, he must have been prepared in advance, this letter was not delivered sooner or later, but after An Ruyi left, and the time was set tightly, I was afraid that the person sent by Liu Xi'er had not returned with the news, and her time would be insufficient.

And no matter how much An Ruyi can protect Liu Xi'er, Shen Yanshu has to look at Liu Xi'er secretly.

Shen Yanshu walked out of his room directly, then walked to the side room in the courtyard, pushed open the door, and saw Huo Shu carving something with a knife.

She looked at Ah Qi with some puzzlement, and Ah Qi shook her head, saying that she didn't know what it was all about.

Shen Yanshu stepped forward and finally saw clearly that what he was holding in his hand was a small wooden horse carved out of most of the mold.

She froze.

This should be for Xi'er, when she was a child, Xi'er often told her that her father would carve a mighty horse on the battlefield for her......

His nose was a little pantothenic, Shen Yanshu looked at his serious appearance, his mouth was obscure, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Huo Shu didn't raise his head, he was still concentrating on carving the things in his hand, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Shen Yanshu half-squatted down and said to him: "Naturally, there is something to do, about Xi'er." ”

Huo Skill's hand paused.

Shen Yanshu raised his head and motioned to Ah Qi, asking him to tell the story of the incident.

After listening to what Ah Qi said, Huo Shu put the things in his hand on the table next to him and got up.

"Eh, what are you going to do?" Shen Yanshu stopped him.

Huo Shu said coldly: "Go and help them." ”

Shen Yanshu sighed and said, "Then are you going to go to the outskirts of the city to break the temple?" or go to find Liu Yue?"

Huo Shu said: "Naturally, I went to the outskirts of the city. ”

"There must be an ambush on the outskirts of the city, but not necessarily Liu Yue is there. Shen Yanshu said.

Huo Shu turned his head to look at her, frowning slightly.

Her meaning is very simple, maybe Liu Yue is also in danger.

Shen Yanshu said: "Xi'er has me and Ah Qi over there, and we will do our best to protect her safety, as for Liu Yue...... I guess you should go and see her. ”

"Please. Huo Shu didn't have any extra nonsense, and he didn't doubt Shen Yanshu's decision, and walked out directly.

They acted separately, Huo Kill went to Zhuangzi outside the city to check Liuyue's movements, and Shen Yanshu and Ah Qi came to the small shop next to the Xichaxuan after leaving Ni's Mansion and sat and waited for her to go out.

Seeing that time passed little by little, Liu Xi'er looked up at the sky and sighed helplessly.

The news has not been sent back from her mother's side, and the person who went to find An Ruyi has not come back to report, what should she do?

A letter alone was not enough to convince her that her mother had been abducted, but it also contained a jade pendant that her mother was wearing, which she had tied around her waist before going out.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and Liu Xi'er's hand couldn't help but stir the handkerchief in her hand.

"Miss......" The little guy who went to deliver the message ran back panting.

Liu Xi'er stepped forward quickly and looked behind him, but did not find An Ruyi's figure.

The little servant took a deep breath, slowed down, and said, "Miss, Gongzi An has already entered the palace, and we can't pass the word in." ”

"Was it summoned by the emperor?" asked Liu Xi'er.

The little girl replied, "It seems to be because of the princess......

Liu Xi'er was stunned for a moment, but she knew that the three princesses liked An Ruyi, and she had wanted to get close to Ruyi several times, and even wanted to ask her emperor father for marriage, compared with the three princesses, she was indeed a little insignificant.

But now that her mother has not sent back the news for a long time, is it really that she has been kidnapped by gangsters?

Liu Xi'er was not so naïve to think that all this was a coincidence.

She pondered for a moment, then turned back to her room, slamming the door shut.

He took out a dagger from the bottom of the dresser and tucked it into his sleeve.

Then she took out a box from the innermost part of the cupboard, opened it and saw that it was all silver, she just glanced at it, closed the box, and carried it out of the door of the room.

"Miss, where are you going?" the little girl looked at Liu Xi'er nervously.

If something happened to Liu Xi'er, Gongzi An would not spare them!
