Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Ten Mile Slopes

The atmosphere seemed a bit strange, and Gongsun Lan also sensed something was wrong.

However, Shen Xinniang put down the teacup in her hand and sighed softly, "It's not a coincidence that you came, she went back to Shen's house these two days."

"Go back to Shen's house?" Gongsun Lan asked in surprise.

Both Jin Xiang and Dan Xin lowered their heads, and their movements showed extra caution.

"Could it be that something happened at home?" Gongsun Lan asked cautiously.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "It's not a big deal, I'll be back in two days, I can't go to the house, she will come back in two days, I'll ask her to see you."

Gongsun Lan nodded, feeling that the atmosphere was still weird, and guessed in her heart, could it be that there was something wrong with Shen Siniang's biological mother and aunt?But it's inconvenient for Xin Niang to speak?As an outsider, it's not easy for her to ask too much detail about this kind of matter, so she changed the topic.

Both Jin Xiang and Dan Xin were secretly anxious. Shen Siniang was robbed when she came back from Gongsun's house. Speaking of which, the Gongsun family was also responsible!But now he can only hide it from Mrs. Gongsun, which makes people feel a little aggrieved.

Gongsun Lan was talking about how the cook at home imitated crabs stuffed with oranges, but suddenly there was the sound of a little maid rushing outside.

Shen Xinniang asked Jin Xiang to leave a person at the door, and specially instructed that once there was a letter or note with or without a source, it should be presented as soon as possible.Hearing the footsteps at first glance, Jin Xiang glanced at Shen Xinniang, and hurried out.

The maid outside didn't say much, just nodded to Jin Xiang, called her sister, and stuffed a rolled up note into her hand.

Jin Xiang twisted the note and looked, her face changed slightly, she paused for a moment, entered the room, and whispered a few times in Shen Xinniang's ear.

"Could it be that Xin Niang has something else to do?" Gongsun Lan asked tentatively, "It's just my unlucky time to come today."

When Shen Xinniang heard this, she didn't even try to persuade her to stay, "It's true that there are some things. It's rare for Mrs. Gongsun to come, so go back with some wine. The fourth lady may have to delay for a few days, so she can't go to deliver wine to you."

Gongsun Lan was slightly taken aback when she heard the words. If the wine was really just as Shen Siniang said, it was just for her to drink and play, then it would be fine if she gave it once or twice. Give it away after drinking it?

She stared at Xin Niang with wide eyes, could it be that she didn't think wrong at first?This wine was originally given by Xinniang to treat her brother's illness?

When she was thinking about it, Dan Xin had already made wine and handed it to the maid beside her.

Gongsun Lan moved her mouth and wanted to ask, but her heart twisted, "Is Xin Niang going out of the city to worship during the Cold Clothes Festival? Why don't we go together at that time? Although it is not as lively as the Cold Food Festival, there are still many interesting things to do. .”

Since Xin Niang made an excuse, not to mention that it was given to her brother for medical treatment, even if she asked again, Xin Niang would not admit it.As long as you accept her love in your heart, it's fine. My brother has always regarded himself as a man, but he is not as good-minded as Xinniang. When his brother recovers from his illness, he will be even more ashamed if he tells him about it!With that in mind, the words naturally moved elsewhere.

Shen Xinniang said softly, "Let's talk about it in two days, Dan Xin, send off to Mrs. Gongsun."

Gongsun Lan saw her off in such a hurry, if she didn't know her well, she would think that she didn't want to see her.But seeing the wine in the servant girl's hand, her heart was warm, so she didn't delay, and blessed herself, she took the servant girl and went out with her heart.

After getting into the carriage and leaving Qi Palace, Gongsun Lan suddenly asked the coachman to stop.

"Miss, don't you want to go back to the mansion?" the maid beside Gongsun Lan asked.

Gongsun Lan shook her head, frowned and muttered, "Xin Niang is a little strange today, she always feels like she has some trouble."

The servant girl said in a low voice: "The lady is really enthusiastic. The princess sent us half-baked out. The lady still cares about the princess's affairs?"

Gongsun Lan immediately lowered her face and looked at the servant girl, "Staying by my master's side, why didn't I learn any wisdom from my master? Why was I kicked out? Didn't you see the wine in your hand? If she didn't wait Will you give me wine when you see me? You only see my enthusiasm. My enthusiasm is on the bright side, but my heart is secretly helping you and treating you well! Which kind of enthusiasm do you think is more valuable? "

The servant girl was stunned by the scolding, and she blinked innocently, "My lady, my servant is so stupid, my lady must not be as knowledgeable as my maid!"

Gongsun Lan got up and was about to get out of the car.

"My lady, if you are angry, just scold the servant girl, don't be angry with yourself!" The servant girl immediately grabbed Gongsun Lan's sleeve nervously.

Gongsun Lan pulled her sleeves helplessly, "Why am I betting against myself! You go back with the wine and put it away, but don't touch it, this wine is of great significance! Don't worry about me, later I'll go back by myself!"

"Where is the lady going, how can the lady not have someone to serve her?" The maid refused to let go.

"Why, don't you listen to my words? Can someone in this capital do anything to me? It's done, go back at ease, I'll be back in a while." After Gongsun Lan finished speaking, she pulled the sleeve out of the maid's hand and held it up. Leaping out of the carriage angrily, before leaving he did not forget to turn his head and confess, "Make sure to put the wine away for me!"

Shen Xinniang ordered Gongsun Lan to be sent away, so she called Jin Xiang, "What is written on the note today? Shilipo outside the city?"

Jin Xiang took out a note from her sleeve and unfolded it in front of Shen Xiniang. In addition to the two sentences Jin Xiang said, she also warned, "If the concubine is still not sincere and brings more people, it will not just delay time." The day is so simple, I have to leave something for the princess! I heard that Shen Siniang is good at embroidery, so how about leaving her right thumb?"

Shen Xinniang let out a breath slowly, "Tell the hidden guards not to follow."

Jin Xiang immediately frowned, "Lady, they are clearly blackmailing the lady with the Fourth Lady. The person they really want to arrest is the lady. If the lady does what they say... Isn't the lady dangerous? Even if the lady cares about the four Miss, you have to ensure your own safety? If the lady is taken captive, who can save the fourth lady?"

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, "I know."

"Does the lady know that she is going to take risks?" Jin Xiang almost burst into tears.

Shen Xinniang was helpless, "Who said I was going to take risks?"

Jin Xiang stared, "The servant girl knows what a lady is capable of, but now that the lady is pregnant, isn't she unable to perform normally? The lady must not be brave, the most important thing is to take care of the little one in her womb!"

"Send someone to invite Master Ziyang and Taoist Huang to come." Shen Xinniang ordered.

Only then did Jin Xiang heave a sigh of relief, "I thought my lady was going to go alone. If Ziyang Daoist and Taoist Zodiac accompanied her to protect her, she would be more confident!"

Dan Xin, who had sent off Mrs. Gongsun, came back, and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But the hidden guards left by Fang Yan could not agree, and their task was to follow at any time to protect the princess.Now that the concubine wants to risk herself, let alone bring them by her side, how can they explain to the prince?Everything is fine, that's all, if there is even a slight mistake, they can't afford to pay for it even if they die?

"With your kung fu, the general situation is not bad. Didn't someone find out last time? Follow-up will only add to the chaos!" Master Ziyang sneered while stroking his gray beard.

The dark guard's face was very embarrassed, "Last time, there were too many guards accompanying us, it wasn't us who were exposed!"

As a hidden guard, one is to protect the master in secret, and will not show up unless it is an emergency, let alone let anyone discover them before they show up.This is the basic quality of a dark guard.Now that my basic qualities are despised by others, how can these hidden guards hold their breath.

"How much stronger can you guys be? If you don't accept it, come and learn!" Seeing Master's contemptuous expression, Huang Shuaiyin immediately stood on the united front with Master, and said contemptuously.

The dark guard was furious.

Seeing that the two parties were arguing endlessly and time was being delayed, Shen Xinniang said slowly: "Why don't you do your best to hide and see if you can detect each other. If you can't, we will go on the road together. If you are detected by the other party, Let's talk again."

The princess opened her mouth, and Master Ziyang naturally agreed.

The hidden guards didn't object either. Master Ziyang stuck the talisman on his body, read the mantra, and flew up. The talisman can help them hide their breath, and people who are not Daoist than them will not notice it.

The secret guard's mutual skill may not be top-notch, but his hiding skill must be top-notch, otherwise he would not be able to take on the duty of a secret guard.

As soon as the two sides hid, Shen Xiniang set off immediately, with only two maids, Jin Xiangdanxin, beside her.

The carriage was rolling towards the outside of the city, Jin Xiangxiao was concentrating on observing carefully, but she couldn't notice Ziyang Master and those hidden guards, she couldn't help being a little worried, "Miss, could it be that they didn't keep up? Did we go too fast and get rid of them?"

Shen Xinniang glanced at her lightly, "What do you think?"

"My lady, my servant is worried. If something goes wrong later, my lady must put her own safety first. I don't care about waiting for danger. My lady has two lives!" Jin Xiang said with a frown.

"Bah bah! Can't you say something nice? For example, we won the victory and successfully rescued the fourth lady? For example, the fourth lady is safe and sound, and we will return safely?" Dan Xin stared at Jin Xiang, dissatisfied and said.

Jin Xiang glanced at Dan Xin silently, and said slowly, "May everything be as Sister Dan Xin said."

But she clearly has no confidence in her words, and her small face is full of worry.The bloody hair floating in the teapot last time seemed to be still in front of her eyes, but she really didn't realize that they should be so optimistic now.

Shen Xinniang didn't say anything, the closer the carriage got to the outside of the city, the calmer her expression became.Even breathing became more and more calm.

Ten miles outside the city, it was very quiet at this time, Shen Xiniang's carriage was parked alone at the bottom of a small hill, and there were no people around.

"Could it be like last time, not even showing your face? Are you playing around?" Dan Xin raised the curtains and looked out. She was clearly nervous, but her tone was pretending to be relaxed.

Shen Xinniang got up and wanted to get out of the carriage.

However, Jin Xiang stretched out her hand and held the corner of Shen Xinniang's clothes tightly, her eyes were deeply worried, "My lady..."

"I know." Shen Xinniang nodded to her, "The situation is not right, I will definitely protect myself."

Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Jin Xiang slowly let go of her hand, but jumped out of the carriage before her.After looking around, he stretched out his hand to open the car door and helped Shen Xinniang get out of the car.
