lunch.

I set lunch for An Xiangli, and then I went to the small kitchen to eat slave meals.But An Xiangli stopped me: "Changliu, you can stay and eat together."

I looked at the wide-eyed Jingying, and cheered in my heart, but on the surface I pretended to decline: "Is this not very good?"

An Xiangli thought about it for a while, and then nodded according to my words: "It's really not good. Then you and Jingying go eat."

Me: "Huh???"

I winked at An Xiangli: "Don't you need me to stay?"

"no need."

My face was distorted: "Is it really unnecessary?"

An Xiangli stirred the soup, bowed his head and hummed: "Well, you go down and eat. After eating, I will clean up the dishes in my room."

I angrily followed Jingying and left.

An Xiangli forgot the revolutionary friendship between us when she became the eldest lady, and she didn't even want to eat a good meal with me, Kouheng, I clearly saw my favorite crystal shrimp dumplings in her meal .

Because of the bad breath accumulated in the bottom of my heart, I ate three bowls of rice for lunch in anger, and gave the boss to the small crystal tomatoes, and then returned to the yard wobbly with a shy stomach.Hello Jingying, she followed my ass and asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Don't accumulate food after eating so much. Otherwise, I'll clean up Miss Fourth's room for you."

I was very moved, and patted Jingying on the shoulder: "You are so kind. It's okay, I can still clean up the dishes, you can go back and rest."

Jingying looked at me worriedly as I walked into An Xiangli's wing with my waist supported.

An Xiangli was leaning against the window reading a martial arts novel, and frowned when she saw me: "Why so slow?"

I haven't forgiven what she did just now, so I stiffened my neck and didn't talk to her.

I reluctantly moved to the square table with a rag, threw the chopsticks and spoon into the lunch box, and lifted the upside-down blue and white porcelain bowl...

My eyes lit up, and I said in surprise, "Crystal Shrimp Dumplings?" Turning around, I asked An Xiangli excitedly, "You left it for me on purpose?"

An Xiangli lifted the book to his face, turned his back to me, and said awkwardly: "Who kept it for you, I just don't like to eat it."

"Don't like it?" I scratched my head, "But you obviously ate a lot at the county magistrate's mansion last time..."

An Xiangli interrupted me impatiently: "Eat yours! Why are you talking so much?"

I sat down happily, reached out to take a shrimp dumpling and ate it, but I ate it so fast that I almost choked to death.When An Xiangli heard my earth-shattering coughing sound, he hurried over to pour me some water to calm my breath, while still dissatisfied with admonishing me: "If you don't eat, it's as if you haven't eaten. Don't say it belongs to our Lord Marquis's house when you go out in the future." people."

Seeing that she still wanted to give me water, I quickly stopped her: "Don't give me a drink, my stomach is about to explode, if you give me water again, how can I eat these shrimp dumplings?"

"You eat a lot at noon?"

I held up three fingers: "Normal play."

An Xiangli's face darkened, and he stepped forward to take away my shrimp dumplings.I immediately threw myself on the bottom of my body and glared at her: "What are you doing! Don't move! I told you to protect the food, if you rob me again, I will bite you!"

An Xiangli: "..."

An Xiangli withdrew his hand and pressed his temple wearily: "Just now I gave you a hint to let you eat less, didn't you understand?"

"Hint?" I ate and recalled the conversation An Xiangli had with me before I left, and shook my head: "What hint?"

An Xiangli turned to me and said, "I've got this expression just now, can't you see it?"

I stared at her normal face for a while, fell into silence, and said awkwardly after a while: "Ah, I didn't see such an obvious hint, how stupid I am."

After I finished eating the shrimp dumplings, An Xiangli took out a small purse from the dresser and threw it to me: "Father is going to take me to a banquet in the palace tonight, so go to Jingxuanfang and help me buy some good makeup powder." Come and ask for the best of the best."

I took the purse and turned it upside down, it was so heavy that I dropped my hands: "I don't need so much, the best rouge and gouache in Jingxuanfang is only about ten taels of silver, you need about 50 taels here."

An Xiangli rolled his eyes: "It's as if you have been to Jingxuanfang."

An Xiangli continued: "If you have any leftovers, you can go to the bookstore opposite to buy a few new martial arts novels. You can also buy strange novels without martial arts, but don't say you bought them for me!"

"What?"

An Xiangli said irritably: "If An Yunluo found out about my love for reading this kind of book, he might say something about me in front of my father. I just asked my father to read it more because of an accident. Are you going to confuse people with gossip?"

I took the silver and went out without a word.

I think this Miss Ansi is really sick, she always speculates about the kindest and gentlest Yingluo in the world with malicious intent, the most aggrieved thing is that I have no position to argue with her, otherwise my previous relationship with Yingluo will be ruined. exposed.

After leaving An Xiangli's courtyard, I purposely walked around to Yingluo's courtyard, just wanting to take a look at her from afar before leaving.As a result, before I reached the yard, I saw a figure flashing past quickly. I walked two steps in the direction where the shadow disappeared, and saw a few drops of dirty blood on the ground.

I covered the dirty blood with soil, jumped to the room where the figure flashed into, lifted the tiles and looked inside.

Curiosity will kill me one day.

It was Yingluo's study room, where there were several elegant calligraphy and paintings, as well as a Guqin.Ying Luo still sat on the main seat like last night, and there was a person kneeling on the ground who was still panting.

The man kneeling on the ground was seriously injured on his shoulder, and dirty blood continued to drip from him.Yingluo acted as if she hadn't noticed, drinking her fragrant tea gracefully.

After a while, he asked gently, "You know, I don't want to hear bad news."

The person kneeling on the ground trembled, and I could feel his scalp numb through the roof.The man kowtowed and stammered: "Master, my subordinates chopped her three times, and my subordinates did their best..."

Yingluo laughed lightly when she heard the words: "Does that mean you didn't complete the task?"

I don't know what kind of deterrent Yingluo's words have, but this man with good martial arts is so scared that his face is pale and cold sweat: "Although it didn't cut to the fatal point, but the subordinates painted the handle of the knife. Almost no one in the world can understand it, so..."

"That means she is not dead yet?"

The people kneeling on the ground kept kowtowing.

Ying Luo sighed, stood up slowly, twisted Yu Ruyi on the bookshelf, and then there was a light click, and the bookshelf turned away, revealing a black hole.

"Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life! Give this subordinate another chance, just give this subordinate another chance." There was deep fear in the man's eyes, as if he had seen something more terrifying than death.

Yingluo didn't force him to push him in, but leisurely fiddled with the Langhao pen: "Ah Xun, I have given you many chances, you should be clear. I sent you to find the princess but you can't find it." , I sent you to kill people but you couldn’t kill them, you said, what am I going to do with you?”

"Master, master, although the princess ate that thing, she did not forget her martial arts. The subordinates followed her all the way, and lost her when they reached Cheng County. If the princess finds out that I am hiding from me, it is the same. It's possible. I beg the master to spare me, my subordinates have been with the master for so many years, and even if there is no merit..."

"You are really noisy," Yingluo threw the brush on his face before he finished speaking, and the ink splashed on the man's face, forming a sharp contrast with his pale complexion.

"Go, go quickly, you know the rules." Yingluo persuaded with good words.

The man wanted to know that he really couldn't hide, so he kowtowed and said slowly: "I-I also ask the master to let Amu go, he, he is still young..."

Then he stood up, step by step, and walked into the cold hole in despair.

Where he went and what he will endure is no longer something I can know.

I don't know how I got out of Houye's Mansion, how I found Jingxuanfang and Bookstore, and how I bought rouge powder and martial arts novels. I only know that when I came back to my senses, I had changed to a clean palace Pretend to sit with An Xiangli on the carriage to the palace.

On today's fifteenth day, the royal relatives, Qi Yi and the assistant ministers are going to have a banquet in the palace according to the ancestral custom.

An Xiangli asked me what was wrong many times, but I just forced a smile and said that I was nervous because I was going to the palace.An Xiangli laughed at me for not seeing the world, and took out some snacks from the food box for me to eat.

I squeezed the dim sum into my mouth, and felt tasteless for the first time.

After entering the palace, all the family members have to get off the carriage and walk away.I supported An Xiangli and followed the lady in front.There are rules in the palace, female relatives are not allowed to look up when they enter the palace.But I still couldn't hold back, and quietly raised my head to look at the person with the highest rank in the front of the female family.

She still looks warm and gentle, and the soft light in the corner of her eyes doesn't seem to be pretending at all.

but.

I can't deny it.

I don't seem to know this person, don't seem to know her at all.

When they arrived at the banquet palace, An Xiangli and his wife sat down according to their ranks, waiting for the biggest ones in the palace to arrive and start the banquet.

An Xiangli is not familiar with other ladies and wives, and she is very boring, so she can only chat with me.

After talking nonsense, An Xiangli suddenly pointed to the moon outside and said, "Look at Changliu, the moon outside is scary round."

I looked in the direction she was pointing.

The moon is as round as a bead, and the night is dark.

Under the sharp cold light of the moonlight, there is a layer of red mist looming. .

A bad feeling spread from the bottom of my heart.

Someone outside the palace suddenly staggered into the palace, and said in a crying voice.

"It's not good, it's not good. General Fu Ling was seriously injured, I'm afraid... it's useless..."
