Gongqing bone

When Xiao Zimei appeared at the gate of the Tenth Prince's Mansion with simple but elegant makeup, there really was a carriage with the imprint of the Prince's Mansion waiting at the door.

The car body is made of black silk, which cannot be blown by the wind; the four tall horses are fat and strong, and they are arranged quietly and neatly; when you go up and approach, the wood used to make the car still has a faint woody aroma.

Xiao Zimei lifted her clothes, and asked someone to help her get into this low-key and luxurious carriage with full demeanor. This is what she should look like when she travels.

After she got into the carriage, the space in the carriage was more than enough to accommodate several people, and the furnishings inside were even smaller than the inside.

As if recovering from her injury, she hummed a little song and took a tea pot from the grid on the wall of the carriage, and made tea for herself with the hot water that was always burning on the stove; there were many snacks, clothes, etc. spare things;
Then Xiao Zimei took out another book, the content of which caught her eyes:
It was an overseas bibliography, and it was read in a left-to-right order after more than ten years.At first glance, there are still some not used to it.

She knocked on the wall of the car, and there was the sound of the wheels rolling, but the inside of the car was still as stable as lying on a cloud. Xiao Zimei lay down and read books leisurely in the scent of tea.

After a while, she became drowsy; the car stopped after about half the journey.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zimei rubbed her sleepy eyes, and a slight movement woke her up.

"Report to Concubine Xiao, Mrs. Shizi asked the servant to wait for another lady~" the servant serving outside replied softly.

Take a ride...it's okay.It just so happens that I can catch up with the noble ladies in Beijing in advance...

Or maybe it was because the servant directly removed the word "side", which made Xiao Zimei feel good.

"It's okay, I think I will have a good talk with my wife..."

Before the words were finished, the door curtain was lifted, and a wave of hot summer air penetrated, causing the entire carriage to freeze three feet in an instant.

The smile on Xiao Zimei's face also faded, but she continued to pour hot water for the lady opposite her with a cup of tea.

As soon as the splashing of the tea was over, all that moved in the carriage was the water vapor floating on the tea set.

Neither of them spoke.

Because the woman who came up was the mother of Du Weilan, the concubine of the Tenth Prince, who is currently the wife of Dali Temple Minister, Madam Du.

Presumably, Mrs. Xiaoqin Wang Shizi thought that the person from the tenth prince's residence should be Du Weilan, so she arranged their mother and daughter together after planning in advance.

Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes, the two of them got together and became the most embarrassing companions.

Neither of the two of them took the initiative to speak, only the monotonous sound of the wheels rolling, moving forward steadily.

After Mrs. Du got into the car, she not only ignored Xiao Zimei's tea, but also ignored her. She squinted her eyes and never looked at Xiao Zimei.

Xiao Zimei hooked the corner of her lips, and soon this cold face was about to turn into the heartbroken crying face of her dead daughter! ...

After walking all the way in silence, the carriage finally stopped, and immediately a woman came up to help Mrs. Du and Xiao Zimei; the night of the first day of the new year was extremely dark, and the woman led the way silently holding a lantern.

Mrs. Du and Xiao Zimei stepped up the stone steps leading to Baoguo Temple one after the other. The wasteland beside the stone steps was covered with pine trees. Standing on a high place and looking down, they looked like scarecrows standing silently in the endless farmland. , watching them all the time.

Xiao Zimei suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She couldn't tell what the source of this feeling was, but she had an almost beast-like intuition——

She couldn't help slowing down her pace, hearing her heartbeat beating like a drum in her ears, her nose was filled with the smell of pine tree grease, and there was also the smell of lamp oil in it——

Xiao Zimei's thoughts turned, and she hurriedly ran into the pine forest with her skirt and legs up——

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, just as she started to run away, there was a heavy bump in the back of her head...

"Ah!—" Xiao Zimei let out a short scream, unable to control the movement of her body's center of gravity, and flung herself fiercely into the forest full of pine needles.

"Hiss!—" She tremblingly raised her hand, which was full of holes with pine needles, to rub the back of her head that was sore from the pounding just now, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

This is the most embarrassing time she has been since time travel!
The struggle in the gate of the mansion has always been to hide needles in the cotton and kill people without blood. When has there been such real swords and guns and sticks?
Even the time when Concubine Long concubine plotted against her, she suffered from abdominal pain, but she saved her life on the luxurious and decent carved bed! ...

Madam Du held the light pole connected to the lantern with a blank expression, and continued to poke Xiao Zimei in the back with a blank expression, listening to her yelling.

Concubine Long Gui said that this bitch's life will be left to her to handle personally, so she can only collect some interest in advance.But if it's just a wooden pole carrying a lantern, it's really too cheap for this femme fatale!
Mrs. Du watched Xiao Zimei bow her body in pain, her white and tender hands sank deeply into the ground full of pine needles to use her strength to crawl forward, and walked in front of her in a leisurely manner:
"Concubine Xiao, if you want to be a queen, don't dream of your spring and autumn dreams!" As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Du raised her leg and kicked Xiao Zimei in the face viciously—

Xiao Zimei was shocked and tried her best to protect her face, but she was kicked until stares flashed in her eyes, and she fell into a coma...

Concubine Long looked at the torch made of pine branches in the treasury, and clapped her hands with satisfaction.

Fang Tong didn't touch the drug for a while, but he felt an itch in his bones——

His body was hot and cold, and there was a feeling of wobbling. He asked his subordinates: "What time is it?"

"Didn't your lord hear it just now? The watchman just called out, it's the third watch..." That's Zi Shi, exactly the time they agreed on!
Fang Tong stepped on the steed first, and drew out the sword in his waist. The double-edged sword refracted the light like blue frost and purple lightning, which reflected the eyes of every soldier behind him——

Suddenly, a slender bolt of lightning tore through the sky, briefly illuminating the dark Gyeonggi: houses as silent as tombs, trafficked neighborhoods, and city walls like black iron——

It seemed that there was a premonition of rain, and the sporadic footsteps running on the street became more and more hurried, and the hooves of the horses of the Wucheng soldiers and horses when they were patrolling the night also became more and more impatient.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of bombing thunder and shouting resounded in the ears: "Brothers, rush with me! Qing Jun side, kill the demon concubine, and guard the stability of the Great Zhou!
The first one to break through the city gate will receive a reward of one hundred taels!The first person to capture Concubine Long will be rewarded with a thousand taels! "

Hearing this, Fang Tong's subordinates stepped on the horse one after another, and everyone was willing to be the one who got the first place——
