There are several palaces to go from Qingyuan to the gate of the palace, the distance is not too far, but Mu Qingyan doesn't like to take a sedan chair, so she walked towards the gate of the palace with a bag of things in her arms.

Even though the guards had seen Mu Qingyan many times, they didn't know that the real identity of the visitor was just the little maid next to Su Rufeng.He stopped her according to the rules, and after Mu Qingyan showed Su Rufeng's badge, the guards looked at each other and let her go.

After leaving the palace, Mu Qingyan came to a dilapidated old alley, which was narrow enough for two people to walk side by side.As soon as Mu Qingyan appeared at the entrance of the alley, more than a dozen cats and dogs immediately flocked up, circling around her and wagging their tails.She knelt down and took out the braised pork and rice balls from her arms, and the little animals immediately huddled together and ate them.The appearance of small animals eating is very cute. Mu Qingyan stretched out her right hand to caress the black cat closest to her. When her hand accidentally touched the cat's tail, she felt something sticky. That feels like soft frozen tofu?

Mu Qingyan looked at the red sticky thing in her hand, what is it? At this moment, Mu Qingyan felt a little strange, her nose was itchy, she didn't notice it just now, and now she realized that there seemed to be a faint smell in the air. The smell of blood? Mu Qingyan's sense of smell has been different from that of ordinary people since she was a child, so even though the smell of blood is very faint, she still detects it.Mu Qingyan walked into the depths of the alley following the smell. This alley had been deserted for a long time, and a pile of sundries blocked her view, but when she heard a muffled groan coming from ahead, she pushed it away without even thinking. The pile of rotten bamboo baskets that were emitting a stench.A girl covered in blood came into view, she was seven or eight years old, she was small and thin, her pink and jade-carved face was bloodless. The blue dress was also stained dark purple with blood.

Mu Qingyan hastily stepped forward to support her against the wall, but the moment she touched the girl's body, Mu Qingyan was frightened by the cold touch, which also made her shiver unconsciously.The girl's body was surprisingly cold, like a block of ice, if it wasn't for the occasional ups and downs of her chest, Mu Qingyan felt that this person must be a dead person. "Hey, wake up"? She patted the girl on the shoulder but didn't get the slightest response. Mu Qingyan had no choice but to pick up the girl and leave the alley to find a medical clinic. Seven or eight-year-old children are not heavy, but Mu Qingyan also But 13 years old, so it is not so easy to hug.It was noon, if Mu Qingyan was hugging someone else, she would be sweating profusely, but the person in her arms made her feel very, very cold.

In the medical hall, Mu Qingyan followed the doctor's instructions and laid the girl flat on the recliner. The doctor began to examine the wound, while Mu Qingyan stood beside her.When the blood skirt came off, the three wounds on the smooth and white abdomen came into the sight of the two of them.Blood continued to flow out from the three slender openings, as violent as a flood that burst a bank.The old doctor hurriedly got some dark medicine and applied it on, but the girl's injury didn't seem to change in any way, and her face was still as pale as paper.Mu Qingyan felt distressed at such a young age. She was a little worried about the girl's condition, so she asked aloud, "How is she, doctor?"

"Strange, this old man has never seen such a situation. It is easy to stop the bleeding if the wound is not deep. How could it be..." The old doctor stroked his white beard and shook his head.

The girl's condition did not improve, and Mu Qingyan couldn't leave, so she kept guarding in the medical hall, next to the girl.Until dusk, the girl woke up without warning.

"Are you OK?"

The girl stared at Mu Qingyan's face with her cold eyes, and did not blink until a long while before she slowly asked, "You saved me?" It is in the cold winter.She also didn't ask about her injury but asked an insignificant question, as if she didn't care about her injury at all.

"I just brought you to the clinic. The doctor gave you the medicine." The girl was still staring at Mu Qingyan's face closely. This girl is very similar to the one she was when she was a child. Appearance, but the feeling of being calm no matter what happens, especially those cold eyes without any emotion, but this girl seems to be a little more rebellious and mysterious.Although Su Rufeng is also cold, it is mostly manifested in his dull appearance and reticence, but this girl exudes a kind of coldness all over her body, especially her eyes are like abysses, as if she would be crushed to pieces just by looking at them.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Thinking of the girl's injuries, Mu Qingyan asked with concern, but the girl just shook her head, her gaze still not moving away from her face.

Mu Qingyan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the girl. She casually glanced at her feet to hide her embarrassment. Why did this man keep staring at her? Just when Mu Qingyan didn't know what to do, she smelled a It was a very familiar smell, she had smelled it for many years, the unique smell of that person, neither strong nor weak but unique.

"Miss?" Su Rufeng's voice came from behind.

"Why are you here?" Mu Qingyan looked at Su Rufeng's expressionless face, this person is always dressed in white, but the white robe that used to be as white as snow has become black and white. Don't know where it got so dirty.

"It's getting late, it's time to go back." Apart from herself, only Su Rufeng knew that Mu Qingyan would sneak out of the palace from time to time, and Mu Qingyan asked Su Rufeng for the token specially. , Said to be convenient.Su Rufeng was also worried about Mu Qingyan's safety and wanted to go with her, but Mu Qingyan refused.In the afternoon, Su Rufeng still didn't see that familiar figure, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried and went out of the palace to look for her.

"I see." Although Mu Qingyan answered like this, she still had no intention of going back to the palace, so Su Rufeng could only stand aside and wait silently.

"You go back", after an unknown amount of time, the girl said coldly, her tone seemed undeniable.Compared with Mu Qingyan, the girl feels more like a high-ranking princess.

"But your injury?"

"Someone will come looking for me in a while."

Seeing the girl's resolute appearance, Mu Qingyan didn't say anything else, she thought for a moment, and took off the blue bird-shaped jade around her neck, "Since you won't let me help, then I will accept this for you. This can be useful." Mu Qingyan reached out to pick up the girl's left hand, opened her slightly clenched hand, and put the jade on it.

"No, this is a gift from the master to Miss." That jade is the protective jade given to Mu Qingyan by Emperor Qiande when Mu Qingyan was born. A symbol of status, Su Rufeng couldn't help reminding him.

"Things are dead, people are alive. I have a predestined relationship with this child. Even if it's against the rules, it's fine to be happy in my heart. There's nothing wrong with it." Mu Qingyan's voice was very soft but it made people feel the difficulty clearly. Hidden down.Mu Qingyan didn't go to see Su Rufeng, but she said this to that person on purpose, and it was what Mu Qingyan thought, so it's good to be happy in my heart, isn't it? Why bother with the etiquette? Will that person murmur as she thought?

There was some emptiness in Mu Qingyan's eyes, the corners of her flat mouth turned down and then turned up, and she regained her usual gentleness and said to the girl: "Little sister, I have to go home, we will meet again by fate."

After Mu Qingyan left with Su Rufeng, there was another black-robed man in the medical hall, "The subordinate is late, please punish the master." The hoarse voice was not like that of a normal person. But those hawk-like eyes are very special. This tall man is full of hostility, but at this moment he kneels in front of a little girl who seems to have no offensive power at all.

"How's the investigation going?" The tone was obviously not in a hurry, but it gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

"It hasn't been found yet, but the second son seems to have dispatched a lot of people, do you want to send someone to monitor?"

"No need, that person is too brave to be a great weapon. By the way, Ying, help me find someone." The girl looked down at the jade pendant in her hand.
