No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 339 Luo Mingxiang's Trouble (Part [-])
Luo Junyao pulled Luo Mingxiang to an empty pavilion at the back of the garden. Bamboo curtains were hung around the pavilion. Although there was no one inside, there was still a brazier, and snacks and fresh fruits were placed on the table.

Seeing the two people coming in, the attendant who was waiting nearby immediately stepped forward to refill the two with hot tea.

Luo Junyao waved away the attendant, then pulled Luo Mingxiang to sit down, and whispered: "Sister Mingxiang, what do you want to tell me?"

Luo Mingxiang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and put something in Luo Junyao's hand.

Luo Jun shook for a moment, and found that what Luo Mingxiang put in her hand was a veil, but there was something wrapped in that veil.The veil was also stained with some dark red, and Luo Junyao could tell that it was obviously blood.

Luo Jun shook his eyes and raised his hand to open the veil.

Sure enough, there was something inside, which was a hidden weapon made of black iron.Luo Junyao has never seen this kind of hidden weapon, and the lines on the hidden weapon don't seem to be from the Central Plains—at least not from the Shangyong area.

"Big sister? This is..." Luo Junyao's expression changed slightly, "Have you encountered any danger?"

Luo Mingxiang quickly grabbed her, looked around and then lowered his voice, "No, it's... I'm in the village outside the city, and there's a person... who should be the one the regent wants to arrest."

Seeing Luo Mingxiang's strange expression, Luo Jun shook his head before realizing it, "You mean... Qu Tiange? The one who arrested you last time?" You can't count on the portrait skills these days, let alone actually met Qu Tian. There are very few people who sing.Luo Mingxiang can confirm the wanted criminals in one go, who else besides Qu Tiange?

Luo Mingxiang nodded.

Luo Jun stood up hesitantly, "How did he come to your village?"

Luo Mingxiang said: "A few days ago, I went there to check Zhuangzi's harvest and accounts this year, so as not to be busy at the end of the year. It happened to be snowing at the time, and I was worried that the snow would be heavy so I wanted to come back first. Who would want to leave when I was about to leave? That person... that person broke into my room."

Qu Tiange obviously gave her a lot of fright, his face was still a little pale when he said it, and his hands were trembling a little.

"He was covered in blood at the time, and I didn't recognize him. I wanted to call someone, but he cured him." Luo Mingxiang said in a low voice.

She doesn't need to talk about Luo Junyao to understand, how can Luo Mingxiang, a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, be Qu Tiange's opponent?

Even though he had been seriously injured for several days, it was still easy to take down Luo Mingxiang.

What's more, if a strange man appeared in Luo Mingxiang's room, if word got out, it would be another matter.

Luo Junyao stretched out his hand to hold Luo Mingxiang's hand, and patted it lightly, "Big sister, it's fine, don't be afraid."

Luo Mingxiang nodded and continued: "He only asked me to call Delphinium in, bring him water and medicine, and treat the wound. After he washed his face, I found out that he was... that person. He refused. Let me go, these two days I can only live in Zhuangzi, I only tell my family that it takes time to read the accounts, it is too late and the road is slippery due to snow. I wanted Delphinium to try to send a message, but he found out."

Luo Jun shook his head, "Then how did you come out today?"

Luo Mingxiang said: "The family servant sent the post to Zhuangzi. I told him that this flower meeting is very important. If I don't come, people will see something wrong. Even if I call it sick, mother and you will definitely He was also worried that he would go to see me, so he let me out."

Qu Tiange obviously didn't understand these things among the nobles of Shangyong, so naturally he couldn't judge whether this flower festival was important or not.

But Qu Tiange didn't say anything when she left, maybe he knew she didn't dare to make a big deal about it, or maybe he left after she went out, and he wasn't afraid of her telling others.

Luo Jun frowned and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "No, why did he just happen to break into your Zhuangzi? He just happened to enter your room? Big sister, how is his injury?"

Luo Mingxiang hesitated for a moment, then said: "It seems... quite heavy. He had a high fever the first night, and the delphinium said... he had a hole in his chest, which was dripping with blood."

Even though Qu Tiange had a high fever and nearly passed out, she still didn't dare to escape.Qu Tiange's methods are really not something she, an ordinary woman in a boudoir, can match, but she can't move if she is lightly pressed on her body.

She was taken as a hostage, and the delphinium who was instructed to do this and that naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Thinking of this, Luo Mingxiang couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

Although nothing happened, and Qu Tiange didn't mean to belittle her, but when encountering such things one after another, Luo Mingxiang occasionally couldn't help crying just thinking about it when he was alone.She even dreamed that her husband's family caught on to this matter, and she looked like she couldn't explain it.

Luo Junyao also knew how much shadow Qu Tiange had cast on her, so he put his arms around Luo Mingxiang and said, "Sister Mingxiang, don't be afraid, I will take care of it."

Luo Mingxiang quickly wiped away his tears, and said in a low voice: "I made you laugh, I don't know who else to tell, mother..."

Like her, mother is a weak woman in her boudoir, and she really doesn't want her to worry.If she told her father or her two elder brothers, she couldn't open the mouth.

"It's okay, I won't tell my parents." Luo Jun said, "No one will know about it."

After all, Luo Junyao summoned Feng Jian, handed her the veil with the hidden weapon, and told her to go back to find Xie Yan.I still didn't forget to solemnly ask Xie Yan to be careful when he went there, and he must not reveal his whereabouts to let people know that he had been there.

Feng Jian nodded solemnly, took the things away and took Qin Yao'er away.

When they left, Luo Mingxiang frowned and asked, "Could he have already escaped?"

Luo Jun said: "I don't think so. Qu Tiange is not a random person, so I'm afraid he may not be easy to fool." He let Luo Mingxiang out, and it may not be because he was deceived by Luo Mingxiang's reasons.His master is still in the hands of the imperial court, if Qu Tiange wants to save Qu Fang but does not want to be restrained by Xie Yan, the most likely way is actually to hold Luo Mingxiang hostage and take the opportunity to blackmail him.

Since he let Luo Mingxiang leave, he either didn't intend to save Master and really ran away, or he was waiting for someone to catch him.

As for why he didn't appear by himself... I have to ask Qu Tiange himself.

Luo Jun shook his head and asked, "Elder Sister, you have lived outside the city for two days, and your brother-in-law didn't visit you?" She remembered that just now Eldest Sister said that a servant in the family sent the post.He wasn't worried about his new wife being trapped outside the city by snow for two days, wouldn't he go out to pick her up?
Luo Mingxiang smiled, and said: "He is preparing for Chunwei. He heard that the candidates for the exam next year are all good, so he is also a little anxious."

Although Xu Zhaolin is the eldest son of Uncle Chun'an, the Xu family will no longer be an earl when he inherits the title in the future.In Shangyong, if he wanted power, he would either take the imperial examination or go to the battlefield. As one of the seven talents in the imperial city, Xu Zhaolin naturally wanted to take the imperial examination.

Only then did Luo Junyao nod, "So that's the case, don't worry big sister, as long as the people around you keep their mouths tight, this matter will never get out."

Luo Mingxiang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, only Delphinium is around me knows."

Luo Junyao knew that the delphinium had followed Luo Mingxiang since he was a child and was the most loyal, so he nodded reassuringly.

Not far away, Su Clan and Princess Changzhao came over, and Zhang Jingyu was following them.Before the three of them came in, the two people in the pavilion immediately stood up to greet each other, "I have met the eldest princess, I have met Mr. Zhang, mother." Luo Mingxiang said respectfully.

"Sister Changzhao, mother, Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

Princess Changzhao said with a smile: "What are you talking about, the two of you sisters went to meet your mother before seeing anyone, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. It's about to start over there, why don't we come over and look for someone?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "I have something to say to my eldest sister, so I went over late to say hello to my mother, and please forgive me."

Su naturally didn't mind, and shook her head with a smile.

Princess Changzhao looked at Luo Mingxiang, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter, big girl? But which girl without eyes bumped into you?" Princess Changzhao obviously saw Luo Mingxiang's reddish eyes.

Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "I made the princess laugh. It was a bit windy outside just now, and Xuemo swept my eyes by accident."

"That's where you have to be careful."

Seeing that Su Shi was still looking at him, Luo Mingxiang hurried over and took her arm and said with a smile: "Mother, it's really all right. If there is something really wrong, how can I not tell you?"

Su smiled and nodded her forehead and said, "I think you are more willing to talk to Yaoyao now."

Zhang Jingyu next to him smiled and said: "It's so good, it shows that their sisters have a good relationship."

Luo Junyao also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is right, I have a good relationship with eldest sister, but mother is jealous?"

After listening to her words, everyone laughed again.

While talking, everyone turned around and left the pavilion, and walked towards Ting Fengxuan.

Now that the banquet is about to start, they naturally have to go.

It's just that this kind of banquet, which has neither singing, dancing, music, nor meat and food, really makes people look forward to it.

　Luo Mingxiang: Author, you are rude!Did I dig the ancestral grave with the surname Qu in my previous life?
　　Author (rolling eyes): Ah... This, maybe, maybe, probably, maybe... is it fate?

　　Luo Mingxiang: Nie Yuan, right?

　　Author (wiping sweat): Yes... right?
