The residence of the city lord of Seoul is a majestic pavilion with double eaves and flying pavilions.

It was silent at the rockery.

In the night, the lights are dimly lit, the hanging lamps and the pavilions complement each other, and in the dense grass, there are insects chirping from time to time.

Two shiny green eyes suddenly appeared.

Ning Xia was taken aback, and hurriedly helped Su Yang: "Master,? Here... why is this place getting more and more remote? Let's go back,? The emperor is in the courtyard, and no one is following us,? What if What if someone is evil!"

Su Yang took out the fire folder from his sleeve.

As soon as the cap was lifted, the fire pocket was lit with fire.

Her side face became more and more obscure in the firelight.

"No,? Ben Gong thinks that he must indeed meet someone he knows."

The fleeing figure? She has seen it no less than ten times.

In a dream, in the suburbs.

In that inaccessible compound, the empty and desolate courtyard was cold.

Only immature children, hiding in the quilt in the house, weeping softly while covering their faces.

The boy who doesn't even dare to cry out loud? Lives there.

Live here for five or six years.

So he is in Seoul?

Su Yang lit the fire booklet, and followed the trampled leaves of the grass to find it.

On the way, a curious maid who passed by bowed to her and bowed to her, "Concubine Yu, where are you going?"

Su Yang stopped in her tracks.

Rather than looking for someone in such a disorderly manner, it is better to ask the maid actively.

Since he is a member of the city lord's mansion, he must know more about some secrets.

She stood under the steps, a smile slowly appeared on her lips: "During the dinner just now, I saw a person. She was standing under a tree. She seemed to want to come and eat together. Don't dare, maybe I saw Ben Gong looking at her, felt offended and left in a hurry."

Her voice was gentle, as if she was really worried about that woman who dared not approach.

Being so sympathetic to the common people, the maid was more respectful than she was sincere and apprehensive.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about that woman? That woman is a distant relative of the Wu family in the City Lord's mansion. She is somewhat related to the City Lord. She said she escaped from the disaster. The City Lord's wife took pity on her and specially gave her a courtyard to live in alone. I also assigned two maids to serve."

"But this woman came to the city lord's mansion and chanted words that the servants could not understand all day long, and she went crazy not long afterward."

Her eyes showed sympathy and disgust, "Your Majesty is kind, but don't get close to her, she always has hysteria when she is crazy, and she scolds everyone when she sees her. It should be because the servants didn't watch her just now, so she went to the front yard." , bothering the empress, I hope the empress will not mind the city lord, the city lord's wife because of this."

Su Yang said: "I'm not the one who will take revenge."

Ning Xia took two steps forward and said, "Then where does this woman live? Can you take your mother over there to have a look?"

Concubine Yu asked all the questions.

Naturally, the older maid couldn't shirk anymore, so she asked the little maid beside her to bring tea, and she walked ahead with her own words, and took Concubine Yu and her close maid to the courtyard of the crazy woman.

In front of the courtyard where Mrs. Wu lived, there were overgrown weeds and it was a bit depressed.

Those two big green eyes just now are the little wild cat raised by Mrs. Wu.

The little wild cat stood at the door, grinning at Su Yang.

The servant girl kicked her away with one kick, screaming pitifully.

Ning Xia carefully supported her master's hand, her scalp went numb from the screams.

The little wild cat was kicked and didn't run away. It looked over in the dark, crawled on the ground and meowed.

The maid said: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, this wild cat is in spring."

Su Yang shook his head: "Nothing."

This is Wu's courtyard?

She looked at the maid who brought her here.

The maid said: "Yes, Madam, this is the place."

She pushed open the locked door.

The heavy door opened slowly with a bang.

Mrs. Wu should have climbed over the wall to get out today.

The maid bowed down respectfully, and stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, you must be careful."

Su Yang nodded, and stepped into the threshold with the corner of her skirt.

This Wu family's courtyard is very big, presumably the city lord still has friendship with her, he didn't treat her harshly in the residence, but locked it and forbids going out to make trouble.

Doubt flashed across the maidservant's eyes.

In the past, this crazy woman, Mrs. Wu, honestly never went out through the wall.

I don't know what happened today, but it suddenly became like this.

When Su Yang was going down the steps, he paused slightly.

Her gaze was fixed on the small pond in the middle of the courtyard.

A fence around the side should prevent people from falling into the water.

The jade-white stone is marble, not the extravagant jade fences she has seen before.

The servant girl respectfully said: "Ms. Yu Concubine, this is what Wu requested when she first came to build a small pond in the middle of her yard for raising fish. The servant girls thought she liked fish very much, so they released two or three of them. The little fish went in, but after playing for two days, she stopped throwing fish feed into it."

"So the fish in this small pond are very skinny, not as fat and strong as the little fish raised by the ladies in the palace."

Su Yang grabbed Ning Xia's arm to support his body's center of gravity.

Ning Xia helped her to walk over, and saw her reaching out her hand, gently stroking the marble fence, with an inexplicable expression on her face, something that people couldn't understand or understand.

It seems to miss.

It seemed to be stunned.

Su Yang said: "This stone is cold, but it is exactly the same."

The maid was far away, so she couldn't hear what she said.

The older maid said in a low voice: "This Mrs. Wu is here, and she is very domineering. The city lord arranged for her to stay, but I didn't expect that she would find someone to renovate it. I don't know where she got the money at that time. She was obviously fleeing. here."

Su Yang said: "Escape, what's the difficulty?"

"This Wu family has been married. Her husband's surname is Xu. Her own surname is Wu. What is her name? Yue Lai. The slaves don't know it very well, but one thing they know is that her husband's family is not a man, and she often beats and violent In the past, it was said that there was a child, but the husband's family..."

She coughed lightly, and said with some disgust: "This husband's family insisted on having intercourse with her, resulting in a miscarriage of the child. It is said that the pregnancy was less than two months, and then the body was injured, and there was no child anymore, but her husband's family made public Take a concubine, one door at a time."

These are old-fashioned rumors in the city lord's mansion.

But anyone who came to the city lord's mansion and served him for two years knew that there was a crazy woman in the courtyard to the north. She escaped and was beaten by her husband's family, and she ran all the way to Seoul to join her relatives.

It turned out that this relative, whose family was very poor, gave a little money to a girl who was still working in another mansion at the time, which caused him to go to Beijing to rush for the exam. He had to spend a lot of money, and ended up as a moderate official. I have been a city lord for several years.

That's why the city lord is so grateful.

So much so that he became insane, and he didn't lose his conscience to drive people out.

Su Yang said: "This city lord is indeed a loyal and filial person."

It's no wonder that even though he was sent to Seoul so far away, he was able to manage the city in an orderly manner, and married a lady from all over the world.

The maid secretly covered her mouth and smiled.

Concubine Yu has a good impression of the city lord. If in the future, even if she can talk casually, she can think beside the emperor, maybe she will send the city lord to another place for promotion. Chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Su Yang waved his hand: "I know, you should step back."

She came to the city lord's mansion today to have a banquet with the emperor, and she was dressed extravagantly and gorgeously, showing her majesty and imposing manner.

The servant girl should be, and then walked forward quickly, and after lighting the lamps in Wu's courtyard, she went to the door and guarded it, but did not come in.

As soon as the light came on, it immediately illuminated the courtyard brightly.

Su Yang was about to leave Yushi, the fence, when he inadvertently glanced into the water.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to have worn this brand new dress before.

In the ripples gently swimming in the cleansing fish, she was wearing a reddish and more formal dress of a concubine, which was reflected on the water. In the ripples, she could clearly see her cheeks with light makeup.

Deja Vu.

The place felt weirder and weirder to her.

Who is this Wu family?

Ning Xia supported her and walked up the steps step by step.

The door was pushed open, and inside, Mrs. Wu was sitting at the table with disheveled hair. The food box opened on the table contained already cold food.

She stuffed it mouthful by mouthful without seeming to notice, her eyes were slack and empty.

Said to be a middle-aged woman.

In fact, she looked very old.

The lines at the corners of the eyes and the unfocused eyes looked more like a crazy person than the Wang family in the cold palace.

She was wearing messy makeup, her cheeks were red with rouge, and her lips were so red that it made people feel dizzy.

Ning Xia held Su Yang's hand, and dared not move forward.

She was afraid that this gloomy crazy woman would hurt her master.

If she hurts her master, she will desperately strangle her to death!

Su Yang only glanced at the woman, and then he was startled by the screen and layout of the house.

Without a teacher, she went to the curtain and lit the lamp with a torch.

Then he looked inside again.

In the empty room, there is only a lonely pillow inside, and the quilt arranged on the bed seems to have never been used, and it has been leaning there.

She took two steps and frowned deeply.

Turning around and returning to the crazy woman Wu Shi, she said with a cold expression, "Who are you?!"

The layout was exactly the same as the room she had dreamed about before.

The small pond outside this house, although it cannot be completely reproduced, it also shows something that seems to be unbearable to guess.

Is it...

Could it be that this woman was once Xiao Xuan'er's maid?

Xiao Xuan'er seems to have a very good family background, and all the utensils used are expensive and luxurious, but this simple room is far inferior.

She was abused by her husband's family from the capital and ran to Seoul to escape and defected to the city lord.

Then why, the design of this exact thing is almost the same as in her dream?

Wu raised his head with dull eyes.

The woman in front of her is delicate and charming, her eyes are gentle and bright, but she can hardly hide the doubt in her eyes.

that clothes.

Those are the clothes of the imperial concubine!

Wu's slack eyes were rarely clear.

"You, you are! You are the emperor's woman!"

She lost her mind and murmured: "You...you are Xuan'er's wife!"
