He Zhiran shouted as he ran, fearing that he would not be able to catch up with Mo Jiuye.
"Mo Jiuye, wait..."
After chasing him for a long distance, he finally saw Mo Jiuye's red figure.
Mo Jiuye turned around and still looked at her expressionlessly: "Is something wrong?"
He Zhiran panted and ran to Mo Jiuye, took his arm and walked back.
"What are you going to do?" Mo Jiuye asked with a frown.
He Zhiran didn't know how to explain his purpose, so he could only say vaguely: "I have a hunch that someone will scheme against you when you enter the palace this time."
When he said these words, He Zhiran was already prepared to be questioned by Mo Jiuye.
However, Mo Jiuye did not do that, but asked: "What did you hear?"
In fact, when Mo Jiuye returned to the capital from the border, he had a vague feeling of being targeted, especially the emperor, who always gave people a sense of hypocrisy when talking to him.
He Zhiran could not say that he understood this period of history. After being questioned, he could only answer bravely.
"I told you, I just have a bad feeling."
In Mo Jiuye's eyes, her explanation was too far-fetched. However, he was in a hurry to enter the palace at this time and had no intention of questioning her.
He let He Zhiran pull him and gave up the initiative to the other party.
He Zhiran wandered around outside the courtyard of the wedding house, and finally his eyes rested on the sedan chair she was riding in.
She let go of Mo Jiuye's hand, ran into the sedan, and took out a thick soft cushion.
This was something that the original owner often took with her when she went out to her parents' home. Whether riding in a sedan or a carriage, she disliked the bumps, so the careful Mrs. He ordered her servants to make a soft cushion for her.
He Zhiran squeezed the thickness of the cushion and found that it was OK, then turned and handed it to Mo Jiuye.
"Believe me, just put this behind your back, maybe it can help you a little."
After a pause, she added: "Also, if someone takes you there on the pretext that the emperor summons you in the harem, you must not go."
There is only so much she can do now. Whether Mo Jiuye can escape the physical pain depends on his own fate.
Mo Jiuye hesitated for a moment and then took the soft cushion.
When he turned around, he said: "It's getting late, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed early!"
Seeing Mo Jiuye's back fading away, He Zhiran couldn't help but remind him: "Don't forget to put the cushion behind you."
When there was no response from Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran could only return the way he came.
When I returned to the yard, I saw eight sisters-in-law and one sister-in-law waiting there.
The eight sisters-in-law were all here before. When they saw He Zhiran coming back, they couldn't help but come forward to comfort him.
"Ninth brother and sister, don't be anxious. The Emperor must have something urgent to do when he calls Ninth Brother into the palace so late. It won't take too long."
"Yes, Ninth Brother will definitely come back in time to have a bridal chamber with you."
"..."
The sisters-in-law were too enthusiastic, and He Zhiran also knew that they were all showing goodwill to her. However, she couldn't listen to what they said at the moment.
Looking at the eight sisters-in-law, all of whom were very young, He Zhiran felt sad for a moment.
These kind-hearted women had a hard life and became widows at a young age.
In the end, he will end up being exiled.
After much thought, He Zhiran decided to give him a reminder.
"Sisters-in-law, I have been having a strange dream these days, saying that our Duke's house will be confiscated and exiled."
Cui Biting, the usually calm elder sister-in-law, stepped forward and took her arm, and said softly: "Nine brothers and sisters, you can't say this nonsense. Our Lord Protector has been loyal and loyal for generations, how can we have our home confiscated and exiled?"
"Bah, bah, bah... don't say such unlucky words. Ninth brother and sister, let's just pretend we didn't hear these words today." Second sister-in-law Xie Fang immediately spat on the ground.
He Zhiran knew that this would be the effect of her reminder, but she did not intend to give up just like that.
"Sisters-in-law, I also hope this is not true, but this dream is too real, and it is the same scene every day, so I think we would rather believe it and make some preparations in advance and we will not lose anything."
Everyone looked at He Zhiran talking so politely, and they immediately became confused.
My sister-in-law, Mo Hanyue, has been cared for and cared for by so many brothers and sisters-in-law, so she is the timidest.
He Zhiran was already frightened after hearing what he said.
The little girl said with a cry: "Sisters-in-law, I'm afraid, this will definitely not be true."
Seeing this, the sister-in-law took the man into her arms and comforted her softly: "Hanyue, don't be afraid, people say that dreams are the opposite."
Mo Hanyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and lay in her sister-in-law's arms.
The eldest sister-in-law looked at the sisters-in-law: "It's getting late. My nine siblings have had a hard day today. Let her rest early!"
He Zhiran didn't know if anyone believed her words. In short, she had done everything she had to do. As for what would happen in the future, she could only take it one step at a time.
Back in the room, several maids waited on her to wash up, and He Zhiran sent everyone out.
What she needs now is silence. Only by calming down can she think about the next step with peace of mind.
Through the light of the red candle, she could see the dazzling array of things in the entire wedding room. Unfortunately, she did not have the ability to take away these things.
In this case, she can only target the banknotes that are most convenient to carry.
She didn't know how many banknotes there were in the Protector's Palace now. There were two thousand taels of banknotes in the dowry given to her by the original owner's parents.
Thinking of this, He Zhiran quickly stood up, put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the house.
Qiaoyu hurriedly came over and said, "What are your orders, Miss?"
He Zhiran waved his hand: "Nothing, I can't sleep, I'm going to see the dowry, you don't have to follow me."
Qiaoyu had been serving He Zhiran since she was a child, and she knew the eldest lady's uncompromising temperament very well. When she saw that she wouldn't let her follow, she obeyed and stayed where she was.
The dowry had just been brought into the Protector's Mansion today, and before I had time to put it away, it was all placed in the ear room.
He Zhiran directly opened the box containing the banknotes, took out a stack of banknotes from it, and checked it. It was exactly two thousand taels, no more, no less.
Holding the banknotes in his hand, He Zhiran's first thought was that when the house was searched, someone would search him. Where could he hide these banknotes so that they would not be found?
It would be great if she had a space like the time-traveling girls in those novels. It would be safer to put the banknotes in the space, but it's a pity...
Just when she was complaining about the unfairness of the time travel master, she suddenly felt that the scene in front of her had changed.
The scene in front of her was all too familiar. This was actually her infirmary.
Could it be that she is not dead?
Soon, He Zhiran was defeated by the ruthless facts.
She tried to push open the door of the infirmary, but the door was like a decoration. There was no response at all, and she couldn't even see the gap.
The same goes for the windows, as if they were welded shut...
