Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 266 Falling off the Cliff ([-])

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the snow gradually became thicker, the footsteps of the bearers became slower and slower, and Mu Qingwan's heart hung higher and higher.Finally, the long sedan chair team stopped on a mountain road. Reed came from the front with difficulty to pass on a message, saying that the snow was getting heavier and the sky was getting dark again. I am afraid that I will not be able to go up the mountain today. On the mountainside, there is a Taoist temple. , it is better to rest here for one night, and wait for the dawn of tomorrow before starting.

It's long overdue!After hearing Princess Wei's decision, Mu Qingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe Princess Wei really just came to enjoy the snow, and she was overthinking everything.Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Princess Wei in front of her getting off the sedan chair with the support of Mother Dou, and walking forward, Mu Qingwan hurriedly asked, "Want to walk?" Lu Wei nodded, and said, "Yes, the Taoist temple needs to be Going up a mountain road next to it, the sedan chair can't reach it, so you can only walk, but don't worry, the young lady, that road is not difficult to walk."

Is it easy to walk?That is not bad.But even if it's hard to go, she can't turn back, you see Princess Wei has taken the lead, can she back down?Mu Qingwan lifted her skirt with one hand, supported Lu Wei's arm with the other, and got out of the sedan chair.

There is snow on the mountain path, which is not too deep, but it is precisely because it is not deep that every time you step on it, you can touch the thin ice at the bottom, which is very slippery.Mu Qingwan looked around and saw that there were dense bushes, and there were no cliffs or cliffs. She thought that even if she accidentally slipped, it would be all right.

"Young master, young master, slow down! Slow down!"

Mu Qingwan was stepping on the snow carefully, when she suddenly heard Shi Tianci's voice from behind, and then, a gust of wind blew past her, and a figure seemed to squeeze past her and ran to the front.

"What's going on?" Mu Qingwan asked.

Shi Tianci came up panting, and said: "The young master heard that there are wintersweets in front of him, so he insisted on seeing them. I can't even catch up with him."

"Lamei? Who told him there are winter plums?" Mu Qingwan showed displeasure, examining Shi Tianci's expression.

Shi Tianci was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, without answering, he just said: "I have to chase the young master quickly, please don't worry, young mistress, nothing will happen."

Mu Qingwan looked forward on tiptoe, and although there were guards lighting up lanterns in front of her, she still couldn't see Wei Fan's figure. She couldn't help complaining: "What Lamei, Shi Tianci must be talking too much!"

Lingxiu said with a smile: "Eldest young mistress is worrying too much, even if Shi Tianci said it—eldest young master is not a fool." She lowered her voice very low for the last sentence, for fear that others would hear it.

Hey, why did she forget this? Wei Fan is not stupid at all, so why would he go to see winter plums because of Shi Tianci's words? Perhaps, he just wanted to run because he was bored after sitting in the sedan chair for a long time It's only two laps. Anyway, he has kung fu and is not afraid of slippery roads.

After thinking about it, Mu Qingwan felt relieved and quickened her pace.At some point, Bai Yuhe and Mu Qinglian caught up with her and chattered about her life in the palace. Mu Qingwan was so annoyed by them that she simply walked a few steps, caught up with Princess Wei, and asked them to accompany Princess Wei Talk to go.

Strange to say, Bai Yuhe and Mu Qinglian hit it off with Princess Wei, chatted and laughed happily, and got along very well, causing Lingxiu to mutter in a low voice: "Sure enough, people like to flock together, things like to divide, annoying people, always There is something in common.”

Being so close to Princess Wei, you are not afraid of being heard when you say such words?Mu Qingwan was about to remind her to keep quiet, when she suddenly heard panicked screams and loud noises coming from the front.

"What's going on?!" Princess Wei stopped and looked forward.

Lu Wei listened carefully, and said in surprise, "It seems that someone fell off a cliff!"

"Falling off the cliff?!" Princess Wei was taken aback, "Who fell off the cliff? Hurry up and see!"

Almost all the people jogged, scrambling to go to the front to see the situation, Mu Qinglian even lifted her skirt, for fear of falling behind others.Mu Qingwan stretched out a hand involuntarily, and pressed it on her chest. She knew that accidents would happen when traveling in such weather. Originally, she hoped that everything was just her own carelessness, but she never thought that the accident she was worried about would happen. It still happened.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Jinyu quickly comforted her and said, "Maybe it's the guards who explored the road."

Mu Qingwan forced a smile, but remained silent. For some reason, she just felt that this matter had something to do with her. Without any reason, she felt that this matter had something to do with her. Perhaps, this was a woman's sixth sense.

A group of them, led by Princess Wei, came to the edge of the cliff, and the guards stood in a row holding hands, blocking the way and not allowing them to go forward.Mu Qingwan noticed that the cliff here was not on their only path, but they had to go around a bush to reach it. That is to say, if they walked normally, they would not fall off.So, what's going on here?
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Jinyu pointing towards the distance, and her voice changed its tone: "Eldest young mistress, you, look!"

Mu Qingwan followed her pointing, looked forward, and was stunned for a moment. She saw Shi Tianci standing beside a dead tree on the edge of the cliff with his waist hooked, looking very embarrassed, with loose hair and loose belt , the clothes on the chest were even missing a large piece, it looked as if it had been torn off abruptly.And on the dead tree, hung a wide belt inlaid with white jade, which looked very familiar, then, isn't that the one that Wei Fan wore around his waist when he went out as soon as possible?
Mu Qingwan's heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her throat, she rushed forward recklessly, grabbed Lu Wei who was asking the guards for news, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? !"

Lu Wei turned around and glanced at her with pity in his eyes: "Young Mistress, the guards said that the Young Master insisted on picking plum blossoms, but shopkeeper Shi couldn't persuade him, so he stepped forward to pull him, but he didn't expect Before pulling, the young master slipped and fell towards the bottom of the mountain. Shopkeeper Shi hugged the dead tree, desperately trying to pull the young master up, but, but... in the end, he couldn't pull him up..."

In their eyes, Wei Fan is a complete fool, so his actions are very normal and very logical, but Mu Qingwan knows that Wei Fan's stupidity is just pretending, a normal person , I would never go to the cliff to pick any wintersweet in this kind of weather, especially this wintersweet, which still came from Shi Tianci's mouth.

She didn't believe it, she didn't believe that Wei Fan would be so stupid, but seeing the dangling belt on the dead tree in front of her when the wind blows, she couldn't help but believe it, could it be, could it be that Wei Fan really fell to the bottom of the cliff ? !
She shook her head involuntarily, broke away from Jinyu's holding hand, and insisted on going to the edge of the cliff to have a look.The guards tried their best to stop her, but Mu Qingwan rushed forward like crazy. In the end, Princess Wei couldn't help but frowned, and ordered someone to escort her to the edge of the cliff.
