Without raising her head, she said, "I understand, Xiaochun, you should go back and rest first."

After Xiaochun left, she closed the book and sneered: Bai Shuangshuang is really stupid. This Su Mei is probably trying to get close to her to find out the secret of the treasure map!

The order he received was to get the treasure map. It was known that the whereabouts of the treasure map would be on Bai Shuangshuang, so there was no need for Yingmen to put all its hopes on herself. It seemed that Su Mei had received such an order.

Based on the current situation, Su Mei should not have discovered her identity.

In this way, your own actions will be much easier to handle.

She stood up, brushed off the fallen leaves on her snow-white robe, and returned to the room with the book. As soon as she entered the room, a medicinal fragrance penetrated her nose.

She frowned subconsciously: ever since she fainted, she had to drink two bowls of dark, bitter and crumbly Chinese medicine every day. She also asked Zhou Zhen why, and he said that her body had not yet recovered. Drinking this helps her regulate her body.

She had nothing to say.

She picked up the bowl and took a sip. The bitter taste spread from the tip of her tongue to her entire mouth. She finally swallowed it. The bitter taste seemed to flow down her throat to her stomach, which almost made her vomit.

"Is it too bitter?" Zhou Zhen happened to come in from the door. His wife's wrinkled little face made him feel a little cute. He held a small jar in his hand, took out a few candied fruits and stuffed it in. She said: "Take this after drinking the medicine."

The sweet taste opened up in her mouth, instantly dissipating the bitter taste in her mouth, making her feel less uncomfortable.

After chewing a few times and swallowing the candied fruit, Shen Muning glanced at him, pinched his nose and drank the entire bowl of dark concoction in one go.

Then she immediately grabbed the jar in his hand and threw the candied fruits into her mouth one after another, completely suppressing the bitter taste.

Still the same as before, so afraid of hardship.

Zhou Zhen's eyebrows were filled with tenderness. He nodded Shen Muning's nose and said with a smile, "Is it still bitter?"

She shook her head: "It's no longer bitter. How long do I have to drink this medicine?"

She really didn't want to drink anymore.

"Of course, it can be cut off when your body recovers." He rubbed her head again and said with a smile: "Don't think the medicine is bitter. The bitter taste of good medicine is good for the disease. I won't feel relieved until your body recovers. "

His gentleness made Shen Muning's ears turn red. She lowered her head a little shyly and held the jar in her hand tighter.

During these days, Zhou Zhen was becoming more and more gentle and considerate towards her, which made her a little helpless.

She now also understands that she has developed a crush on him, although she doesn't want to face this

It was a fact, but she still admitted it.

Thinking about it this way, I felt sad again.

She sincerely fell in love with him, but his feelings for her were focused on the former Shen Muning, not her.

He is just a substitute.

She visibly changed from happy and shy to sad. Zhou Zhen didn't quite understand why. He just thought it was a woman's heart that was difficult to guess, so he said to her: "Ning Ning, today I, Mr. Su, Pengxuan and the others are leaving the village. We have something to do, how about you come with me? It's just a way to relax."

She had been bored here the past few days and was about to go out to relax. So he suggested it, and she naturally had no objection.

Shen Muning tidied herself up and specially brought the golden walking stick that Zhou Zhen bought for her last time. She also applied some makeup and lipstick to make her whole body more radiant.

Zhou Zhen actually looked at her for a while.

She glared at him coquettishly. Not only did he not look away, but he stared at her even more unscrupulously.It wasn't until her face showed irritation that he touched his nose and sneered: "They have been waiting for us. Come over."

This person made an appointment and was late because of her. It was really annoying.

But she still held his arm affectionately, and the two of them walked towards the door.

During this period, she noticed that Zhou Zhen's clothes were eighty new, but the belt around his waist looked very old.

The long black belt has some patterns embroidered with silk thread of the same color, and a very thin edge is embroidered with gold thread on the edge.

"Zhen, this belt of yours looks very old, why don't you replace it?"

Zhou Zhen was stunned, his eyes lingering on her face with a smile: "You made this for me back then, how could I be willing to replace it and throw it away?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small peach blossom embroidered on the tail of her belt. She really liked to embroider a peach blossom as her name on her embroidery.

"It's already so old, why don't I make you a new one?"

"No." He shook his head solemnly and said with a more serious expression: "You stayed up all night to make this belt. I will not throw it away."

She didn't say much.

But my heart felt even worse.

He really, really likes Shen Muning, and even the belt she made back then is so old that he can't bear to throw it away.

The two of them were silent for a while. She was expressionless and walked seriously, but Zhou Zhen looked at her soft and dignified face from time to time, and felt a little softer in his heart.

When they arrived at the main entrance of Su's house, Su Qingluo, Zhao Penxuan and Ye Qinyuan also happened to be there.They were all young people, and they did not feel as restrained when facing Ye Yuan and others. They greeted each other casually, and then Zhou Zhen introduced Su Qingluo to Shen Muning.

"Ning Ning, this is the eldest son of the Su family, Su Qingluo. As you can tell from his name, he is Qing Qian's brother."

Su Qingluo looks somewhat similar to Su Junheng. He has a high nose and a perfect face. When he smiles, there is a small pear dimple at the corner of his mouth. He has an extraordinary bearing.

"It turns out they are younger siblings." Su Qingluo nodded to her, "My younger siblings are really as beautiful as gods. No wonder our young master has always been obsessed with them."

"Young Master Miao praised it."

She actually read a bit of apology in Su Qingluo's eyes. She didn't at first

She didn't understand, but after she thought about it for a while, she understood why.

Is she probably apologizing for what Su Qingqian and Su Mei did to her?

It seems that this person is not too bad.

Zhao Pengxuan and Ye Qin were not very familiar with her. In their eyes, Shen Muning was their brother's wife, so there was no need to get too close.

Shen Muning originally thought they were going somewhere to deal with something, but a group of five people came to a certain street to drink.

This street looks quite long. Unlike the previous South Street, there are not many people coming to this street during the day. There are many tall buildings on both sides. At a closer look, they seem to be wine shops.

Su Qingluo took them to a dilapidated looking restaurant, gave the waiter a few words, and then let them go upstairs.

They entered a private room at the far end, where dishes were already placed on the table, with five cups corresponding to the number of people they had.

Shen Muning's heart moved. Could this inn be the stronghold of the Su family or the Excalibur Alliance?

Unable to let her think too much, Zhou Zhen pulled out a chair for her to sit down, and then said to her with a smile: "Ning Ning, please stay here for a while. I have something to do with them and will be back soon."

She nodded and didn't ask any more questions: "I'll just wait for you."

He smiled again, looked at her one more time, then turned around and went out with the other three people, and he carefully closed the door.

As soon as the people left, Shen Muning began to look at the box.

The antique wooden loft was not very luxuriously decorated, with just a gauze curtain and a huge white porcelain bottle placed in the corner. Other than that, there were no other decorations.

There was a window to her left. She got up and walked over to open the window. What she saw outside the window was not a busy sidewalk, but a staggered set of houses. In front of her was a taller building, which blocked the distant scenery.

A gust of breeze blew in, blowing her long hair. She carefully looked at the house outside the window again. After making sure that no one was watching, she closed the window and returned to her original position to sit down.

After waiting like this for about half an hour, Zhou Zhen and others returned belatedly.

Naturally, she didn't ask any more questions and continued to be gentle and considerate. As soon as Zhou Zhen opened the door, he saw her sitting upright at the table with a calm expression.The chopsticks in front of her were not moved at all. After seeing him come in, a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

After a hasty meal, he left the restaurant. Before leaving, Su Qingluo whispered a few words to the waiter, and vaguely heard words such as "factory, construction, layout".

She calmly wrote down that she thought the next few people were going back to the village, but under the leadership of Su Qingluo, they actually walked deeper into the street.

The further inside, the more uncomfortable the atmosphere became.

The air in the street seemed to be soaked with the scent of rouge, and pink was surging all around. Although there were no women on the pavilions, everyone knew exactly where this place was.

Zhao Pengxuan awkwardly pulled Ye Qinyuan, who was looking around, coughed, and looked at Su Qingluo thoughtfully: "Mr. Su, this..."

Su Qingluo smiled, pointed forward and said, "We are just passing by, our destination is at the front."

Only then did he feel relieved.

Zhou Zhen held Shen Muning tightly. He never expected to be in a place like this. If he had known this, he really shouldn't have brought Ning Ning out. In such a fireworks place, she, an innocent girl, came over and treated her so well. Bad reputation.

After passing through this land of smoke and willows, we entered an alley again. The light in the alley was too dark. After turning left and right, we entered another inconspicuous small building.

As soon as they entered the door, an old man over fifty years old came forward and saluted them respectfully: "Master, gentlemen, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Old Chen, there's no need to be polite, take us down quickly." Su Qingluo waved his hand and urged.

The old man smiled and made a "please" gesture: "This way."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked behind the curtain.

Behind the curtain was a small room. He moved the vase in the corner, and a door leaning against the wall actually opened!

There turned out to be a staircase inside, and as soon as the tunnel opened, a wave of heat hit us.

Chapter 108 The Final Battle

498,

The eunuch on duty in the duty room in front of the Chuxiu Palace hurriedly brought in the second elder brother's early greeting message.

The eunuch stopped at the second gate. The woman in the inner courtyard received the news. He went to the doorstep of the back hall and returned to Yuetong beside the queen.

Yuetong then turned around and went in again, explaining the matter to Twenty-Twenty.

Although just such a sentence or thing had to be repeated three or four times, it did not waste time, but it also showed the strictness of the palace prohibitions and the rigor of the rules in the palace.

Twenty-two is now the Queen of the Central Palace, and no one can see her any more.

When the news came in, Twenty-Twenty had just stood up and was sitting by the mirror combing her hair.

Yuetong asked softly, "Master, please call the second elder brother in first. Can you wait in the concierge for now?"

Because of Mianning's special status, after the death of Empress Xiaoshu, the late emperor and the emperor still entrusted the second elder brother to Twenty-Twenty to raise him, even though the second elder brother was already married.Therefore, according to the rules, the second elder brother has to come over every morning and evening to pay his respects.Later, because of the filial piety period, [-] exempted Mian Ning and Fujin from greeting each other every morning and evening, and changed it to the usual rules of one small peace every three days and one big peace every five days.

But even so, every time when the second elder brother comes to say hello, no matter what he is busy with, and even when he feels a little uncomfortable, he will still call the second elder brother in, so as not to let him come in in vain. One trip.

But today, Twenty-Twenty stared at the mirror quietly for a while, but said categorically: "No."

As soon as Nianwen said these words, even Yuegui and Yuetong were startled.

Yue Gui thought about it and decided that she should go out of Chu Xiumen to see Mian Ning in person. She bowed and said in reply, "...the Queen and Master will spare the second elder brother's greetings today. Second elder brother, please come back."

Yuegui knew that when her master said "no see" directly, it meant that her master was really angry and didn't even want to find an excuse.

Since the master didn't want to find an excuse, they didn't dare to make up one casually. Moreover, Yuegui also understood that the master was so direct today because she wanted the second elder brother to know her true attitude.

Mian Ning was stunned after hearing this.
