Chapter 12: Unexpected
"It's not what I think, but the truth. Now you may not see it and won't believe it, but on that day, you can't help but believe it. People are cold. As long as she is out of favor, she doesn't have to think about what those servants will look like. Without the protection of the prince, life in the royal palace is not as good as that of ordinary people.
"I will always follow my wife. My wife doesn't have to be so sad." Zhu Xin quickly showed his heart and said.
All she wants is the heart of an ordinary man to an ordinary woman. She doesn't have the ambition of a concubine and stares at the throne of the princess. She always thinks that she doesn't want much, but she often ignores what she falls in love with and has never been an ordinary man.
"What are you rubbing in the back? Hurry up!" Mrs. Lan turned around and urged unhappily. She couldn't stand this slowness, which was as annoying as usual.
"Sister, go first, and my sister will catch up in a minute." She said with a smile that her patience will make her come back one day.
"Keep up with yourself, and I don't care about you." Mrs. Lan turned her head and smiled.
The arrogant and arrogant woman, her capital, I don't know how she can still hang around in this unfathomable backyard without being kicked out. I'm afraid it's also this mindless appearance that makes them not attack her.
"Dong, Dong", the bell that ended early rang, and pilgrims went in to worship one after another.
Lanxin Pavilion
"Lanxiang, what day is today? It's so quiet. I haven't heard those too unique voices. I'm still not used to it." Is it that people have been in a state for a long time and suddenly change the environment but are not used to it? Even if you don't like the previous environment, she smiles softly. Isn't it a little cheap? The days are too boring, and it's good to have some seasonings occasionally.
"Madam, don't you like the ladies coming to visit the door? And every time they are sarcastic towards the Empress..." Lan Xiang was a little speechless. Why can't she figure out the princess's thoughts? Maybe only the prince knows the princess's thoughts.
Lan Ruoyan looked at this deep courtyard. In addition to eating, sleeping or eating and sleeping every day, such rice worm life enjoyment is enjoyment, but the habit developed by them later seems to have become a compulsory course.
"I don't like it, I don't like it now, and it will be the same in the future. It's just that now I think it's actually fun sometimes. Aren't they all in the house?" Lan Ruoyan thought badly that Xuan Yuanchen rarely cares about this backyard, so she had to do her duty well. This is her strength. As long as she does her best, she has not failed, let alone deal with a few unarmed boudoirs.
"Today is the 15th. As usual, the ladies should go to the temple to ask for God." She also thought that she could leave the house at will with Xuanyuan Chen's consent, but she didn't expect that those women could also take this opportunity to go out twice a month. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I rewarded God to worship Buddha, and I still believe this in any era. Oh, no, no one has heard of atheism here.
"How's the Shaofei? Did you go too?" Lan Ruoyan asked inadvertently that the most restless one could be this woman. It was a little strange that she had nothing to do.
"Madam, Shaofei hasn't recovered yet. She should still rest in the yard and give incense. It should also be the ancestral hall of the royal palace." The mother is really forgetful. At least she is involved in this matter. How can she forget it so quickly? She has never paid attention to it.
"Oh. I remember that I have slept so well recently that my mind has been confused. Lan Ruoyan patted her head with embarrassment and said innocently.
"Mother..."
Hongfu Temple
"Have you inquired about it? Are you sure it's the family of King Chen's Mansion? A young man's voice sounded, covering the lush trees and couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"Yes, I have inquired clearly. I will never be wrong to see these two sedan chairs coming out of King Chen's mansion in person. A man dressed as a vendor said with great certainty.
"Have you seen the princess on this trip?"
"I didn't see this with my own eyes, but I think the princess should be very respectful to the woman in blue when she went out." He has never seen the princess. It can be said that he has never seen other wives in the royal palace. How can a rough person like him have a chance to see her?
Half a sound, the other party did not make a sound.
"This, look..." The man dressed as a vendor said submissively.
"Okay, it's all right. This is for you. You can go." While talking, the burly man came out of the forest and took out a few ingots of silver and threw it to him.
The man dressed as a vendor was paid, bowed his body to thank him and turned around and ran away.
"Master, when will we take action?" The burly man looked at the man's departed back and turned around and said.
" Follow all the way, do it when there are few people, and try not to expose yourself." The young man said succinly, taking people's money*, that's all.
"Yes." There are figures in the forest.
"Madam, shall we go straight back to the house or leave after eating in the temple?" Every time after my wife worships God, she will use her vegetarian meal here before leaving. I don't know if it's the same this time, and she looks at Mrs. Lan sideways.
"What's delicious about vegetarian food? It doesn't taste anything. When I came out, I had already asked the kitchen to prepare delicious food and went back home. What do you think, sister? She doesn't want to eat such a bad food here. In the past, Shaofei didn't say much here. This time, she has to say what she says.
"Listen to my sister, let's go back home and have a meal." Well, she doesn't want to eat here either.
"Let's go. We still have something to do when we go back." Mrs. Lan took the lead and walked forward.
When they go down the mountain, there are not many Xiangke. After all, there are not many people who do nothing every day like them and just want to enjoy life. Some of them also worship each other in their small Buddhist hall and will not come here deliberately like them unless they return to God. People who are busy making a living every day finally took time to ask for God's blessing. After worshipping their peace of mind, they continued their unfinished business. The path was not bustling.
With a "rug" sound, a white light flashed in front of them, and several men in black lay in front of them.
The woman who had never encountered such a situation had already been stunned and motionless.
"You, who are you? Do you know who I am? Mrs. Lan hesitated and said that she didn't know how to face this situation for the first time, but she must not lose this momentum.
"It doesn't matter who we are, as long as we die." One of them said viciously.
"How dare you! We are from King Chen's Mansion. Who dares to touch me!" Mrs. Lan roared regardless of her image. At this time, there was only one life-saving charm.
"Oh! What about the people in Chen's Mansion? However, as long as you can answer my question, I can let you go!" He came when he received an order to end Lan Ruoyan's life. For others, he didn't want to waste his strength.
"What you said is true, really?" She couldn't believe that the person in front of her would have the conditions to talk about because of this sentence? They don't look like a very fearful expression.
"Stop talking nonsense. We live on reputation, and we can do it naturally! Don't be mother-in-law anymore!" Although there is a black cloth covering his face, he can still feel his anger. Princess Chen is not on this trip?!"
"Princess?" Zhu Xin was surprised and blurted out. How could it have anything to do with the princess?
"Are you Lan Ruoyan?" The first man said, and while speaking, the long sword pointed straight to Mrs. Chun's delicate neck.
"Ah! Madam!" Zhu Xin didn't expect that his unintentional shout would cause his wife to suffer.
"I'm not Princess Chen, I'm just a small concubine in the royal palace." Mrs. Chun said calmly that since she was looking for the princess, it had nothing to do with them. And they are just pond fish.
"In that case, we also want to help her, right?" The sword was about to be cut down, and the other three people started together as soon as they heard this.
How did the four women think that they would suddenly meet robbers in black here? They usually came here very peacefully, but they didn't expect to encounter this situation today.
"Ah~! You unfaithful robbers! Help~" Mrs. Lan pulled the maid beside her and dodged and shouted.
Believe in the killer, and believe that this kind of simple-minded person is the only one who is merciful to the killer. "Madam, run away! I'm here to deal with it!" Mrs. Lan looked at her girl in disbelief. The sword was blind. In a blink of an eye, the blade pointed straight at the two and there was no time to escape.
Mrs. Lan opened her eyes wide and couldn't move half a step in the face of the unavoidable danger. She could only watch the knife fall.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible and the blade was getting closer and closer, Mrs. Lan closed her eyes nervously and dared not look again. Feeling that her body was pressed by a heavy object, and then she only heard the sound of a knife stabbing into the flesh. Mrs. Lan opened her eyes and looked at the girl who blocked the knife for herself, the girl who had been following her and had never paid much attention to.
The man in black solved one, and then rushed to Mrs. Lan. Seeing that she couldn't sit down and wait to be killed, she pushed away and ran away. No matter how fast she was, she could be compared with the trained killer. With a "pull", her arm was in severe pain, and blood flowed out.
"Ah~" Mrs. Lan screamed and fainted.
With a bang, the blades were connected, and the man in blue fell from the sky. With one enemy, the sword in the man's hand is as flexible as silk refining, and he greets people directly.
"Who is coming?" Seeing that this person was not good, one of them said fiercely.
"It doesn't matter who you are. The important thing is that you can't tolerate a few unarmed people in broad daylight." After saying that, he danced several sword moves fiercely, swirling in blue in the air, and the sword picked the veil of the man in black.
