"...Did you fall?"
Master Lu had a headache. He couldn't help but rub his temples and said tiredly: "Your Highness, I have been in a state of confusion these past few days. I am not very awake. I can't remember how I fell. But it's something strange. There is something in my purse." Not a single word of the copper plate was missing, but the amulet they gave me was completely lost."
"amulet?"
Master Lu responded and said casually: "A few days ago, I saw a little girl near the Shantang. She was eleven or twelve years old. She looked pitiful. I felt soft-hearted for a moment, so I gave her a steamed bun, and she gave it back. It was a small amulet. At that time, I was still puzzled. This little girl was delicately born, with skin as white as snow, and had a Jiangzuo accent. She didn’t look like a child from Shantang. I was about to ask about it when it broke. In my head, I don’t know that little girl——”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly thought of something and her expression turned ugly: "Isn't this little girl sold to Wanhua Tower by the people from Shantang?"
Yun Chuyao frowned and looked at Jinmei.
Jinmei whispered: "If I tell you, Your Highness, the people from Jingzhao Mansion have already investigated the Wanhua Building, and there is no eleven or twelve-year-old Jiangzuo girl inside."
"This...could it be that I guessed wrong?" Master Lu said in a daze, "Maybe she escaped?"
Yun Chuyao's eyes darkened.
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Master Lu was old and had been injured. He became tired without saying a few words and his face turned slightly pale. Naturally, Yun Chuyao didn't want to stay for a long time. After giving a few simple instructions, he stood up and left.
After walking out of the Lu family's door, she suddenly said: "There is a tunnel in the main house of Shantang. Have the people from Jingzhao Mansion checked it?"
Jinmei hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I checked, but I didn't find anything famous. It is said that the tunnel extends in all directions, not only connected to Wanhua Tower, but also directly to Hanshan outside the city. As for other things, I couldn't find anything else. Out, I think their accomplices have received the news and ran away first."
"What is the identity of the young master in Wanhua Tower who needs someone to serve him?"
"There is nothing special about a concubine from an official family," Jinmei's expression was a little solemn, "I wonder if it is my misunderstanding. I always feel that something is not right, and the matter is not over yet."
Suddenly, Yun Chuyao stopped.
"You said that the tunnel of Shantang leads to Hanshan Mountain?"
Cold Mountain.
Could it be...
Thinking of the shocking case in her previous life, Yun Chuyao's heart trembled, her hands, feet and back all felt cold, and her heart palpitations almost swallowed her up!
No.
She must investigate this case!
"……who?!"
Yun Chuyao's eyes flashed, and her sharp gaze was instantly cast not far away. At the same time, she flew forward and rushed over as fast as possible!
The guard guarding the alley also changed his face slightly, and said sternly: "No! Chase! Chase quickly!"
"Run away to the south!"
A group of people came forward quickly!
Among them, Yun Chuyao was the fastest. Almost as soon as she saw the other person's back, she took the bow from the guard beside her and aimed at the man's left leg, preparing to draw the bow and shoot forward. At that moment, Yun Chuyao's eyes suddenly condensed!
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot from behind!
It shot straight towards the man's back!
Yun Chuyao's heart beat wildly, and she shot without saying a word. At the same time, she narrowed her black eyes and stared at the long arrow she shot.
Judging from where it landed, it was not aimed at that person!
"Whoosh! Bang!"
Two arrows met in the air!
Broken into pieces!
Yun Chuyao felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief!
"Chase!"
The guards rushed forward, jumped over the high wall, and directly captured the tall, thin and frail figure not far away!
At the critical moment, Yun Chuyao suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone stopped quickly!
"Xu is a nearby resident, there is no need to chase her," Yun Chuyao said, her voice neither high nor low, with a hint of indifference to everything, "Jinmei, let's go back to the palace."
The guards opened their mouths and looked at each other.
Although Jinmei didn't understand what Yun Chuyao meant, she didn't ask any more questions. As soon as Yun Chuyao's order was given, she immediately responded: "Okay, I'll do it now."
Yun Chuyao nodded but said nothing.
Only when she looked at the tall and thin figure running away in the distance, her eyes became slightly complicated.
Lin Fengshi.
He is a scholar from a poor family. He is not at home writing poems or writing warm books at this time. Why is he here?
What's his purpose? Wait for yourself? Visiting the Master? Or is he also related to the Shantang case?
Things are getting more complicated.
Yun Chuyao felt heavy at the same time, but she was also a little eager to try. No matter whether the incident in the shantang was related to the major case in her previous life, she would order someone to investigate. If she really saved those women, it would be considered as a virtue for herself. , to thank God for allowing her to live a new life.
she thought.
After leaving the palace, Yun Chuyao's mood not only did not relax, but also became a little tense. Even when she returned to Changle Palace, her expression was a little heavy.
Jinmei didn't dare to say anything, and her steps became much lighter.
However, Jinzhu couldn't sit still and glanced at Jinmei one after another. Then when Yun Chuyao wasn't paying attention, he rolled his eyes again and said sourly: "Well, you Jinmei, His Highness usually likes you." That's all. Why does His Highness think of you even for such a good thing as leaving the palace? How can it be like me? Since I entered the palace, I have never even seen Tian'er outside the palace. Being trapped in such a small place is really... Life is miserable!”
"Jinzhu!"
Jinmei's face changed slightly: "What did you say? I'm not afraid that it will be spread by someone with ulterior motives, and it will implicate us again!"
"You!" Jinzhu was so angry that he stamped his feet, and his eyes were a little red, "Sister Jinmei, you clearly know that I didn't mean that, I just, I just... the princess was obviously the closest to me before she fell into the water, why did she suddenly... I am unwilling to be alienated!"
"Whoever the master likes and who he wants to get close to is all the master's business. As slaves, we just have to accept it. Where do you get so many little thoughts?"
After saying that, Jin Mei sighed when she saw Jin Zhu's aggrieved face and advised: "What's more, His Highness is the most generous and kind-hearted person. Even if he is not close to you and me, he will never let anyone be wronged. We You should be content.”
I don’t know if Jin Zhu took these words into his heart. He responded several times before standing on tiptoes and looking into the palace. His expression was a little nervous: "I have something to say to His Highness. You will guard the door."
Jinmei glanced at her and ignored her.
Jinzhu was furious, stamped his feet vigorously, and followed Jinmei into the house.
She has always been very discerning. Seeing Yun Chuyao half-leaning on the beauty's couch, closing her eyes and concentrating, she couldn't help but slow down her steps, slowly stepped forward, and carefully kneaded Yun Chuyao's hands. Shoulder.
Yun Chuyao's expression became more and more relaxed.
