Frost shines on Qingcheng

one to go.When passing by Ling Yan, she whispered in Ling Yan's ear: "You can't sleep on the bedding that smells of blood." After saying that, she glanced at the incense burner that was still emitting green smoke. cold.

Ling Yan was startled, and looked at Lu Qingrong suddenly, but there was only a burst of cold fragrance on the tip of her nose, and suddenly Lu Qingrong only left her a back view stingily.

Lu Qingrong passed the courtyard, and with a keen sense of smell, she could still smell the faint fragrance.Since Ling Yan is willing to risk lying in front of Zhao Yueyao just to save that stubborn thief, why should she, an outsider, take the extra step—to expose Ling Yan's lies?

But Ling Yan can only help the thief for a while, after all, this Qingcheng is full of Zhao Yueyao's eyeliner and traps, whether the thief who steals can escape depends entirely on her luck.

"Miss..." After everyone left, Qiu Rui immediately collapsed on the ground.

Although Ling Yan was not as timid as Qiu Rui, she was still in a cold sweat from being scared by Lu Qingrong: "It's okay, Qiu Rui, get up quickly."

Empress Qiu Rui was so scared that she almost shed tears: "I really regret hiding that person. If she was handed over to the city lord from the beginning, why should we be so afraid? Maybe the city lord will reward us."

Ling Yan dismissed her words, and just said lightly: "Go and help that person to my bed, she has lost so much blood, if she is not treated in time, she may be in danger."

Qiu Rui was a little angry: "Miss, do you still have this spare time to worry about others? Do you know that if the matter was revealed just now, our little lives would be lost."

Ling Yan said: "No, the city lord will never kill us."

"Miss, don't think that if the city lord loves you, he will tolerate you unconditionally forever." Qiurui was dissatisfied with Ling Yan's insistence on saving a thief she had never met, but Ling Yan was her master, and she could only obey. .

Ling Yan's amber eyes are as clear as clear water: "It was my own idea to save her, and it has nothing to do with whether the city lord loves me or not. Even if things are revealed today and the city wants to kill me, I still won't regret saving her." One life."

Qiu Rui sighed silently, no matter what happened, it's better to drag the person out from under the bed as soon as possible, otherwise Rong Yuexuan will have no place to bury him if he dies.

It took a lot of effort for the two weak women to get the unconscious Shen Shuangzhao out from under the bed.Shen Shuangzhao's face was pale, all blood was gone, and a painful sound came out of her mouth.

Ling Yan put Shen Shuangzhao's hand on her shoulder, and her thin body struggled to support it: "Qiu Rui, quickly lift off the quilt, so that there will be a seat for her to lie on."

Qiurui lifted the quilt as she said, but was scared to death by Ling Yan's blood-stained coat.

"The situation was critical at that time, I took off my outer shirt and hid it under the quilt." Ling Yan explained.Lu Qingrong had already noticed the bloody smell on the quilt, but she didn't expose the matter in front of Zhao Yueyao, instead she let herself go, why?

"Miss?" Qiurui softly called Ling Yan, who was distracted.

Only then did Ling Yan recover, and said: "Qiu Rui, come and help me, be careful, don't press her wound."

Lu Qingrong sat at the table, her black pupils reflected the last gleam of the flickering candle on the table, and the white veil showed a bit of orange-red under the candlelight.She picked up the cup of tea on the table, pinched the lid of the cup, and the mouth of the cup was immediately surrounded by a dense mist.

"Squeak—" The door was opened, and there was a harsh sound.The wind rushed in immediately, and the flame of the candle on the small table was completely extinguished with the wind.

The movements of Lu Qingrong's hands paused, and his narrow eyes glanced towards the door.Someone closed the door, and the dark room was only illuminated by a few wisps of moonlight.

"My subordinates, see Young Master."

"Get up." Lu Qingrong looked away lazily, took a sip of tea, her long and curly eyelashes drooped down, stained a little wet by the rising mist, "Any news?"

The visitor took a sneak peek at Lu Qingrong. Under the light of the moon, Lu Qingrong's heart-wrenching peach blossom eyes were hidden behind the dense mist, making her look even more hazy.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong put down the teacup and asked softly.

Hearing this, the man was startled, afraid that Lu Qingrong would be angry, he hurriedly said: "Return to the young master, the subordinate is incompetent, and I haven't found out yet."

Lu Qingrong's coquettish eyes bent and became deep, without saying a word.

No one dared to speak, but layers of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She was afraid of Lu Qingrong.No one has ever known what kind of heart is hidden under that veil as thin as onion's wings.

There was a dead silence in the dark room, and after a long silence, Lu Qingrong finally spoke: "Don't worry, just continue with what I told you, and let me know as soon as you have any news."

"Yes..." The man's taut heart finally relaxed.

"I'm tired, you go out." Lu Qingrong lowered her eyes, resting her forehead with one hand, her eyes were no longer aggressive, but a bit tired.

"Then... the young master wants to rest, and this subordinate will retire."

Lu Qingrong waved her hand to signal her to go out quickly, and she was left alone in the room.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

Zhao Yueyao was sleepless all night.She backed away from the left and right, and sat alone in the pavilion by the lotus pond for almost a night.

"City Master, it's almost dawn. There is heavy dew on the edge of the pool, and this servant is afraid that you will catch the cold, so please put on this clothes..."

Zhao Yueyao turned her head sideways when she heard the sound, and saw Lan Xin standing outside the pavilion respectfully, holding a navy blue coat in her hand.

"What time is it?"

"Go back to the city lord, it's almost time."

Zhao Yueyao held the Longevity Lock in the palm of his right hand, and gently stroked the lines on it with his fingers, indifferent to the clothes in Lan Xin's hands: "Is there any whereabouts of the assassin?"

Lan Xin replied: "Not yet. However, the guards have already searched with all their strength in the city and the palace, and I believe they will catch her in a short time."

Zhao Yueyao nodded slightly, and finally stood up from the stone bench.Seeing this, Lan Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and put the coat in her hand on her body.

Just as Lan Xin wanted to ask Zhao Yueyao if she wanted to go back to her room to rest, she saw the chief guard walking around the corridor with a few guards.

"Subordinates join the city lord."

"No." Zhao Yueyao looked down at the chief guard and asked, "I see you are in a hurry, is there an assassin?"

With a wave of the guard's long hand, the entourage behind him presented a sword with a silver scabbard, and a small emerald was inlaid on the hilt.

"The city lord, his subordinates and other guards searched in the inner city, and found this sword behind a bonsai."

Zhao Yueyao took the sword and looked at it, but didn't make a sound, but his face changed.She was surprised at first, and then a few sparkles appeared in her originally serious eyes, her lips were slightly parted, and even her breathing became rapid.She pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and the sharp blade shone coldly under the moonlight.Zhao Yueyao turned over the sword and saw a plum blossom engraved in the middle of the sword.

You can't be wrong, this sword belongs to that person.

"Where did this sword come from?" Zhao Yueyao stared at the chief guard and questioned.

"This... This sword was found behind a bonsai in the inner city." The head guard knelt down, but his heart was trembling, "The sword was wrapped in a night suit at the time."

"Night clothes?" Zhao Yueyao frowned, and the assassin changed into the maid's clothes, "It seems that this is something left by the assassin."

The chief guard swallowed: "The inner city is heavily guarded. Except for the assassin who broke in last night, no outsider has ever appeared. From this point of view, as the city lord said, the night suit and sword belong to the assassin."

Zhao Yueyao snorted coldly, and glared at the head of the guard fiercely with dark eyes: "You still have the face to say that the inner city is heavily guarded? If the guards are heavily guarded, how could an assassin have a chance to break into the Danyang Palace?"

The chief guard knew that he had slapped himself in the face, and almost threw himself to the ground: "It's my subordinate's negligence, and I would like to be punished by the city lord."

Zhao Yueyao said: "Okay, I'll give you another chance to find the assassin within three days, otherwise..." Although he didn't continue, the meaning of the words was very clear.

"Don't worry, the city lord, the subordinates will definitely try their best to catch the assassin."

"Back off." Zhao Yueyao looked at the sword in his hand, but unconsciously became sad.How could this sword be in the hands of that person? Could it be that you sent that person to retrieve the Longevity Lock?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Although Shen Shuangzhao was injured, fortunately, the wound on his left shoulder was not too deep, nor did he hurt his vitals. It was only because of the ecstasy incense and excessive blood loss that he fainted in Rong Yuexuan.

Qiu Rui didn't know how many pots of water she changed before she wiped off the blood on Shen Shuangzhao's body.

"Miss, do you want this person to lie here?" Qiu Rui lowered her voice, afraid that the guards outside would hear her.

Ling Yan covered Shen Shuangzhao with a quilt, and said: "She was just intoxicated by Lu Qingrong's ecstasy incense, the wound is fine, I also gave her medicine to stop the bleeding, and she will recover after a few days of recuperation."

"Miss, don't you want to leave her here to recuperate?" Qiu Rui looked as if something was wrong.

Ling Yan carefully wiped the sweat off Shen Shuangzhao's face with a towel, and answered Qiu Rui in a silent manner.

Qiu Rui was so angry that she wanted to jump: "It's fine if you save her, but you still want to take her in! The inner city is heavily guarded these days, and she will definitely not be able to escape. If the city lord finds out, miss, do you know the consequences? "

Ling Yan turned around and looked at Qiurui calmly with her deep eyes: "Qiurui, I know the consequences of these things better than you. I have my own decision, if you don't like it or disagree, you can report me to the city lord. "

"What you said really upset me." Qiu Rui shook her head, she and Ling Yan are now grasshoppers on the same rope, if Ling Yan is reported on, her fate will never be better, "Qiu Rui Just worried about you."

A warm current surged in Ling Yan's heart. She put down the towel and took Qiurui's hand with both hands: "I know that Qiurui has always put me in the most important position in her heart. At that time, you obviously had the opportunity to be free, but you chose to be with me. I stay in this high wall and deep courtyard... You have a deep affection for me, and I know it better than anyone else. But we have already saved this person, so we can't leave it alone."

Qiu Rui sighed helplessly, with a complicated expression: "Saving people is indeed a good thing, but I don't want this unknown assassin to cause trouble for the young lady."

Ling Yan looked at Shen Shuangzhao who was sleeping, and couldn't help showing a smile: "Look at her, she is just a child. There is no assassin. If you don't worry, I will let her go when I treat her well." She believed in herself Ling Yan still remembers the way this man looked at him before he fell into a coma.A person with such awe-inspiring and pure eyes would not be some evil assassin.

Seeing that she is determined, Qiu Rui no longer looks for boredom.Forget it, no matter what, she has made up her mind to share life and death with Ling Yan.

Time flies, and it has been two days since Shen Shuangzhao entered the palace to steal the longevity lock.During the period, the entire city was guarded by martial law, and the warm atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival was forced to decrease a bit.All the people in the city were discussing in private that the assassin had entered the Danyang Palace, and some even thought that it was sent by Shuilan City to assassinate Zhao Yueyao.All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion.

Shen Shuangzhao woke up drowsily from a dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw a strange scene, and she could smell aloes from the tip of her nose.Her head was still dizzy, she frowned subconsciously, tried her best to prop up her upper body, closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose and rubbed it.The headache relieved for a moment, and Shen Shuangzhao began to look at this strange place.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano came from the ear.Shen Shuang got off the bed, followed the sound of the piano, her gaze circled back and forth around, and finally stopped on the beautiful figure in white.

Ling Yan didn't notice the people behind her, and was immersed in her melancholy and the sound of the piano alone.

Shen Shuangzhao just stood quietly not far behind Ling Yan. She was not very old, her young face was even a little immature, and the emotions she could feel from the sound of the piano were also very limited.But she could also hear the sadness and distress in it, and she didn't dislike this emotion.Or, in a certain state of mind, she is somewhat similar to Ling Yan.

Qiu Rui came in with hot tea, and just as she turned around and closed the door, she screamed in fright at the scene in front of her, and the hot tea in her hand fell to the ground.It was this scream that brought both Ling Yan and Shen Shuangzhao back to their senses.Ling Yan's subordinates didn't grasp the strength well, and the string broke, making a dull cracking sound.Shen Shuang's jet-black long hair was scattered, which contrasted with the pale and sickly face, showing a few traces of sickly beauty.

One turned around, the other looked up, and the eyes of the two met inadvertently.One is a gentle woman like water, and the other is a quiet and indifferent girl. This kind of encounter may have doomed their future entanglements from the very beginning.

Ling Yan's gentle and jade-like smile bumped into Shen Shuangzhao's black eyes, and she couldn't help but recall those bright and clear eyes and that gentle fragrance that night.All these made it difficult for Shen Shuangzhao to resist, she stared at Ling Yan so fixedly that she forgot that she was still in danger.

"Miss Ling?" The guards in the yard hurried to the door when they heard shouts and broken porcelain from Ling Yan's room.

Shen Shuangzhao realized that she was still trapped in the inner city of Qingcheng, she subconsciously protected Ling Yan behind her, and looked at the door vigilantly.

Ling Yan was startled, she didn't expect this child to protect her, her heart warmed up, she said to the guard outside the door: "No problem, it's Qiu Rui. She tripped over her foot and broke the teapot and cup."

"Miss Ling..." The guard is still a little worried, but he can't break into his daughter's boudoir without authorization, not to mention that Ling Yan is still the city lord's favorite.

Ling Yan winked at Qiurui, and Qiurui reacted: "Miss, Qiurui is reckless, I'm going to get a broom to clean up this place." She turned around and went out, just in time to hit the guards face to face.

Seeing that Qiurui came out safe and sound, the guard immediately dispelled most of his doubts when he was wet with tea, and clasped his sword in both hands: "Miss Ling, it's my subordinates who interrupted you."

"Back off." Ling Yan said.

This article is relatively slow (??_??)

☆, acquaintance

There was no sound outside the door, Shen Shuangzhao gradually let go of her guard, and her eyes softened.She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had something on her mind.

Ling Yan was guarded by her behind her, and after the guards retreated, they completely shifted their minds to Shen Shuangzhao.She turned her head to look at Shen Shuangzhao, only finding it interesting and curious: "Obviously you broke into the castle lord's bedroom privately and got injured, but you still have the intention to protect me."

After hearing the words, Shen Shuang didn't know how to answer for a moment, her slightly immature face was stained with a suspicious blush -- it was embarrassment and shyness.Shen Shuangzhao's upright body shrank instantly because of Ling Yan's few words.

Seeing her so shy, Ling Yan couldn't help laughing, and really felt that the person in front of her was a pure and harmless child.

"Does your wound still hurt?" Ling Yan didn't intend to tease her anymore, asking about her body.

"It's just a small injury, it's okay." Shen Shuangzhao has always been silent, especially when facing a woman he is not familiar with, it is better to be cautious, even if the other party saved her.

Ling Yan walked to the piano alone, and gently stroked the broken string: "It's a pity, I broke this string."

Shen Shuangzhao listened quietly, but her lips were tightly pressed, as if she wanted to say something.

Ling Yan sat down again, plucked the other strings, and the zither made several irregular sounds: "My mother often played this piano when she was alive, and after my mother passed away, my father gave it to me. Afterwards, my father also left me, and it became the only thing I thought about them." When she said this, a gentle smile appeared on Ling Yan's beautiful face, but there was a ray of sadness in the gentleness And self-blame, "I love it very tightly, I don't want to be broken by me today."

Shen Shuangzhao frowned slightly: "It's good to have a thought. It's not like me..." She hesitated to speak, and realized that she had confided too much to a stranger, so she changed the subject, "Don't be sad, even if the strings If it is broken, the kite can still be repaired.”

Ling Yan: "Don't ask me why I saved you? Do you know that you are still in the inner city? You may be arrested at any time."

"Why?" Shen Shuangzhao was indeed puzzled.

The eyes of Shen Shuangzhao that night appeared in Ling Yan's mind, and he said casually: "Just treat me as a momentary confusion." She didn't want to say anything more about it, but she just saved her.

Qiu Rui happened to come in with a pot of freshly brewed tea, and she also heard the conversation between the two outside the door, and said, "Listen well, although Miss saved you, don't you want to stay here forever." Yuexuan. Since your injury is not serious, then leave here as soon as possible, so as not to cause us any trouble."

"Qiu Rui!" Ling Yan couldn't help but tone a little harder, signaling her to shut up.

Qiu Rui closed her mouth disgruntled, and gave Shen Shuang a supercilious look.

Shen Shuang didn't change her face, and said: "I will definitely remember this girl's life-saving grace. When it gets dark, I will leave here, and I will never cause trouble to you two."

Qiu Rui snorted coldly: "It's good that you know."

Ling Yan said: "You have been in a coma for a few days, and your body is very weak. Besides, the guards in the city have been patrolling extremely frequently in the past few days. It must be difficult for you to get out like this. You should wait until tomorrow night."

Shen Shuangzhao was extremely grateful for her tolerance, and seeing that the other party still cared about her, her young and pure heart was slightly touched: "Shuangzhao is very grateful."

"Shuangzhao..." Ling Yan's red lips opened and closed, her voice was so soft that it seemed to brush past her lips, her clear eyes fell vaguely on it, Ruyu's face was beautiful and charming, "Your name?"

Looking at Ling Yan, who was so beautiful that it was almost nothingness, for a moment, Shen Shuangzhao's breathing stopped, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he stared straight at Ling Yan in a daze: "Yes..."

"Good name." Ling Yan said, "You can't wear that maid's clothes anymore. Qiurui, your figure is about the same as hers, go and get her clothes."

Qiurui couldn't be more angry when she heard that: "Miss!" She resisted angrily, "She's just an assassin of unknown origin..."

"Don't you listen to my words?" Ling Yan asked back.

Qiu Rui was speechless, and the depression in her heart was even worse, she stomped her feet and turned around to go out, out of sight.

"Qiu Rui's words, don't take it to heart." Ling Yan picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Shen Shuang to take a picture, "I've been in a coma for so long, drink some water."

Looking at the white porcelain cup filled with tea, Shen Shuangzhao felt a warm current rushing from his heart to his eyes: "Thank you, except Master, no one has ever been so kind to me..." Such gentleness.

Ling Yan laughed that she was really a child, and a glass of water made her eyes blush: "You don't need to be moved."

Shen Shuangzhao tried hard to force back the tears in her eyes: "I have my own judgment."

"Do you know what my relationship is with the city lord?"

Shen Shuangzhao recalled that night she fled from Danyang Palace to Rongyuexuan. Although Rongyuexuan was not far from Danyang Palace, it was behind a bamboo forest, and it seemed extremely remote in this huge inner city.This is a rather strange design.

"In this inner city, the city owner seldom spends the night at other people's houses, but she will stay here for a few nights in Rongyuexuan within a month." Ling Yanwu said to herself.

Before Shen Shuangzhao had time to digest the meaning of Ling Yan's words, she heard her say again: "Do you know what this means?"

"You...you are the city lord's favorite woman..." Shen Shuangzhao's voice was full of disbelief and a little loss.

Ling Yan looked down at the cup containing the tea, and her half-smile was reflected on the tea-colored liquid: "You guys, it seems that you only see this layer..." She smiled wryly, "Even if I live in this remote Rong Yuexuan, everyone will still think so..."

Then time seemed to stand still, and both of them were immersed in their own thoughts.

"No one has ever asked me if I would like to stay here..." Shen Shuang looked at the helplessness and bitterness creeping up between Ling Yan's black eyebrows.

"If you don't want to stay in Qingcheng, I'll take you away." Shen Shuangzhao said anxiously.The other party has saved her life, if she can help her, she will do her best.As long as he arrives in Shuilan City, he will be able to protect her well.

There was some smile mixed into the bitterness on Ling Yan's eyebrows: "You are too young to understand. In this world, not everything can go according to one's own wishes. Most of the time it is involuntary."

"You are not happy staying in Qingcheng." Shen Shuangzhao retorted, Ling Yan was only five or six years older than her, why didn't she understand some things?

Ling Yan smiled wryly and shook her head: "But if I leave Qingcheng, I will be even more unhappy."

At this moment, Shen Shuangzhao had to admit that she really didn't understand.She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something to convince Ling Yan.It's just like a stick in the throat, and in the end, I can't say anything.

"I'm also confused. I actually mentioned these things to you, who I've known for only three days." Ling Yan let out a breath, and his mood gradually improved again, "I said this just to tell you, here It is still the city lord's territory, and the city lord will come over at any time. You have to be more careful and don't run around. Speaking of which, I am also on the side of the city lord, and saving you is just a matter of my mind. If the city lord finds out here Without you, the fate can be imagined."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Shuangzhao agreed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The head guard knelt in front of Zhao Yueyao, his body was so low that he even knocked his forehead to the ground.

Zhao Yueyao stared at him coldly, and his words seemed to be immersed in ice water: "The three-day deadline has come, where is the assassin?"

The head guard was trembling with fear, and almost fell to the ground.He is a majestic seven-foot man, but now his hands and feet are weak, and he can't even speak clearly: "This subordinate... sin... deserves death, and failed to arrest the assassin. Please... please punish the city lord..."

"I'm so surprised, there are so many guards in the inner city, but they can't even catch a yellow-haired girl!" Zhao Yueyao sneered, "I don't know if the assassin is really capable, or someone is cooperating with her." , she pulled out the silver scabbard sword with a "bass".

The chief guard understood Zhao Yueyao's meaning too well, he raised his head tremblingly, glanced at the sharp blade, and the cold sweat on his back immediately wet his clothes: "The city lord Mingjian, the subordinates are loyal to the city lord, how dare they collude with others?" , do such a thing that endangers the city lord!"

Zhao Yueyao smiled without saying a word, and rubbed the plum blossom engraved on the sword with her finger: "One side's words."

"City Master, my subordinates and guards almost turned Qingcheng over in the past three days, but there is no trace of the assassin. The subordinates suspect...doubt..."

"Doubt what?"

"Subordinates suspect...the assassin is still in the inner city."

The movement of Zhao Yueyao's hands stopped, as if thinking about something.

Seeing that her expression had improved, the chief guard bravely said: "The city master also saw that night, and his subordinates chased the assassin to Rongyuexuan, and then the assassin disappeared. The subordinates in other rooms of Rongyuexuan After everyone has searched one by one, only..."

"Only Yan'er's room, you have never stepped into..." Zhao Yueyao said the following words for him, and suddenly she remembered something that she had ignored.

That night, Qiurui said that Ling Yan couldn't fall asleep, so she wanted to add some agarwood, but she remembered that she smelled some agarwood when passing by the courtyard.Zhao Yueyao knew that Ling Yan had the habit of playing the piano and burning incense at night, so Ling Yan was actually playing the piano in the courtyard that night.But Ling Yan and Qiu Rui agreed that she had already rested, and there was obviously a conflict between the two.

Zhao Yueyao put the sword back into the scabbard, and said: "Get up. Summon the guards and surround Rong Yuexuan. Without my order, you are not allowed to act rashly."

The head guard kowtowed unceasingly: "My subordinate complies with the order." He stood up with difficulty, and finally regained some strength in his limp hands and feet, but after kneeling for a long time, he staggered several steps before he managed to stand still.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------

Huan Hong has followed Lu Qingrong for many years, and when Lu Qingrong came to Qingcheng this time, she naturally followed.It's just that Huanhong was entrusted by Lu Qingrong to do some things.After finishing her work, she saw a large group of guards rushing towards Rong Yuexuan. She felt strange, so she went back and reported to Lu Qingrong.

"Rong Yuexuan?" Lu Qingrong sat in the pavilion by the lotus pond and slowly filled a glass of wine for herself.Qiufeng lifts up a corner of her veil intentionally or unintentionally, peeking at her charming red lips.

"Exactly." Huanhong said.

Lu Qingrong picked up the wine glass, smelled the aroma of the wine, and drooped her long eyelashes: "How about what I asked you to do?"

"The servant has sent someone out to investigate." Huan Hong knelt down, a bad premonition rose from her heart.

The corners of Lu Qingrong's lips curled up, as enchanting and glamorous as she was usually.

Huan Hong was secretly annoyed at her talkativeness, when she heard a bang, Lu Qingrong put the wine glass on the stone table, and the wine in the glass splashed out immediately.Huan Hong hurriedly said: "The servant deserves to die."

"You didn't do well what I asked you to do, and you still have time to take care of other people's affairs?" Lu Qingrong's tone became stern.

"Young servant deserves to die, please forgive me, young master." Up to now, Huan Hong could only blindly admit her mistake.

Lu Qingrong glanced at her, raised her brows, as if she was filled with unspeakable sorrow: "Forget it, it's reasonable that you can't do what I asked you to do."

Seeing that she had no intention of blaming herself, Huan Hong's hanging heart was put back in her stomach.

"You said a large group of guards went to Rong Yuexuan?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"Yes, the servants saw those guards hurrying, so they should be in a hurry."

Lu Qingrong smiled lazily, drank the rest of the wine in the glass, raised her eyebrows, and jokingly said: "Go, come with me to see the good show of the little thief being caught."

☆, meet again

"Is the sweet-scented osmanthus blooming better this year than last year?" Shen Wanrong stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, wearing a pink and white brocade dress. The golden sweet-scented osmanthus contrasted with the plum blossoms on her forehead, revealing her beautiful face There is a trace of charm, seductive and frightening.Her slender fingers gently pinched the branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus, her eyes were closed, and the tip of her nose was close to the sweet-scented osmanthus, greedily enjoying the refreshing fragrance.

Xueqing and Ruodie stood behind her respectfully, Xueqing said: "Actually, the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms very well every year, but this year it blooms even more. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus has been lingering in Shuilan City for the past few days. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also the birthday of the city lord, which is really the icing on the cake."

Shen Wanrong opened her eyes, her starry eyes were even more captivating. She withdrew her hand: "It's a pity that the sweet-scented osmanthus fell to the ground. Xueqing, you and Ruodie sent someone to collect the sweet-scented osmanthus. Well, don't waste it."

"Yes."

Shen Wanrong walked towards the gravel path, and after a few steps, she seemed to remember something: "By the way, I haven't seen Shuang'er for a few days. Has she studied hard recently?"

"Back to the city lord, a few days ago, I heard that Shuang'er said that she would go out of the inner city to buy a birthday gift for you." Ruodie replied.

"How many days ago?" Shen Wanrong was puzzled, "How many days ago?"

"About four days."

Shen Wanrong thought for a while: "Then... have you seen her back recently?"

"Back to the city lord, Xueqing and I have been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival these few days, and have no time to take care of Shuang'er..." Ruo Die's voice was a little softer, with some self-blame and worry.

Shen Wanrong frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong: "Follow me to her place."

Tang Mengxuan was fidgeting, and kept pacing the room.Shuangzhao has been gone for three or four days, and she hasn't come back yet, did something happen?She was worried about Shen Shuangzhao's safety, she should never have done it, she should not have let Shuangzhao go out of the city alone.She also knows that her master Shen Wanrong loves her junior sister Shen Shuangzhao the most among her apprentices, if her master finds out that something happened to Shuangzhao...

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Tang Mengxuan felt that Shen Shuangzhao must have encountered an accident in Qingcheng.She can no longer stay in this room thinking and worrying, she has to go and talk to Master.

As soon as Tang Mengxuan stepped out of the room, she saw Shen Wanrong coming.

"Mengxuan pays homage to Master." Tang Mengxuan saluted.

"Get up." Shen Wanrong said, "Meng Xuan, where is Shuang'er?"

Tang Mengxuan's eyes were full of anxiety, and she immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Mengxuan, what are you doing?" Shen Wanrong became more worried, "I ask you, where is Shuang'er?"

Tang Mengxuan knelt and didn't dare to raise her head, almost crying: "It's all Mengxuan's fault. It's Mengxuan who didn't take good care of my junior sister. Master please punish me."

Shen Wanrong was a little annoyed: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to know where Shuang'er is?"

"Master, Junior Sister...Junior Sister should be at...at..."

"where?"

"Qingcheng..." Tang Mengxuan said.

Shen Wanrong was stunned: "Qingcheng?"

There are only Qiu Rui and Ling Yan in Rongyuexuan all the year round, and only during festivals or when Zhao Yueyao comes over will the place become more popular and lively.

Qiurui was sweeping the yard with a broom by herself, complaining in her heart while sweeping.Autumn is troublesome, the leaves on the trees fall to the ground, and she has to clean it herself every day.It would be great if someone could share some of it for her, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

It's a pity that her young lady doesn't like crowds, and because of the grievances and grievances many years ago, only the two of them are left to depend on each other in Rong Yuexuan.Qiu Rui stopped sweeping the floor, held the broom with both hands in a daze, and sighed unceasingly.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of chaotic and eager footsteps coming from far and near.She rolled her eyes, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.Qiurui walked to the door, poked her head out to look, and saw Zhao Yueyao and the chief guard leading a large group of people coming here.She was so frightened that she immediately dropped the broom and ran towards Ling Yan.

Shen Shuang saw that Ling Yan felt sorry for the broken strings of the qin, and sat by the qin for most of the morning. She said, "I told you that this qin can still be repaired."

As far as I am concerned, it has lost its usefulness, it is better to throw it away."

"But this is something your parents left you, you can't lose it, right?"

Ling Yan shook her head, smiled, and said nothing.

Her silence made Shen Shuangzhao confused, she smiled awkwardly: "Did I say something wrong again?"

"No. Of course what you said is right. No matter how broken this piano is, I will not throw it away."

"So, since you can fix it, don't be sad, sister." Shen Shuangzhao said.

Just as Ling Yan was about to answer, Qiu Rui rushed in hastily.

"Miss... the city lord and a large group of guards are here." Qiu Rui was a little out of breath, "What should I do?"

Both Shen Shuangzhao and Ling Yan stood up from their stools in shock.Ling Yan looked out through the thin window paper, only to see that several guards had already entered.She was also very nervous, and originally planned to
