Su Jiu's eyes suddenly widened, and she became anxious, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
Cuizhu just stopped, and before she could take a few breaths, she was pulled away by the villain again and hurriedly ran towards the direction of Qinzheng Hall.
"Princess, please wait for me, slave!" Seeing this, Huang Ying quickly picked up the hem of her skirt and followed her.
The young man was left squatting on the spot alone. He raised his dark eyes and looked at the direction where the villain left. His red lips tightened a little, and there was a bit of grievance in his flashing eyes.
**
"Hey, have you heard? The master was summoned to the palace by His Majesty early in the morning."
"I heard about it. I heard that the one who came to summon him was the famous man in front of His Majesty, Eunuch Zhou Fu. This shows how much he respects the master. Do you think it could be because of the incident between the second lady and Prince Gu?"
"That's for sure. Maybe we are discussing the etiquette of getting married at this time."
"Maybe, given how bad our second lady's reputation is, you don't know that Prince Gu can like her?"
"That's right. If Prince Gu really wanted to take responsibility, how could he run away after waking up?"
"..."
In the Song Mansion, two maidservants were chatting animatedly.
"You two, what are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up and work!" At this time, an elderly slave not far away came over and scolded the two of them: "After you finish working, go to the kitchen to help. If
If I see you just chatting and not working again, I will ask the housekeeper to sell you to someone else. My master’s family can’t afford to support you lazy and lazy girls like you!"
The two maids hurriedly begged for mercy and said several times that they didn't dare. The old slave was satisfied and left.
After the two of them swept the courtyard for a while, they saw that they were almost done, so they hurried to the kitchen with brooms in hand.
Song Zhirou walked out of the pavilion behind the rockery with a scroll in her hand. She glanced at the direction the two maids left, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Just when Song Zhirou was about to go back to the house, she saw a man walking out of the yard not far away, carrying a copper basin, and he didn't know what was in it. He was so sneaky.
She knew this person, it was Song Xueyue's personal servant, Xia Tian.
Song Zhirou's eyebrows were frivolous, she turned sideways and hid behind the rockery again.
After Xia Tian walked out of the yard, he looked around cautiously and saw no one was around, so he took the things in the basin and hurried to the backyard.
The backyard of the Song Mansion is relatively desolate, where the servants live. At this hour, the servants are all working in the front yard.
Xia Xia walked along the path for a long time, then stopped in a relatively hidden corner, put down the copper basin, looked around again, and after making sure that no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the contents in the basin into
Fell down in the dense bush.
After fidgeting with the surrounding weeds a few more times to cover up all the traces, I picked up the pot and turned to another trail.
It wasn't until Xia Tian's figure disappeared at the end of another path that Song Zhirou walked out from behind a thick tree.
Push aside the obstructing branches and leaves.
There were some black and gray ashes in front of me, which were obviously left after burning something. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be dealt with in a generous manner. However, this kind of behavior in summer gives people a feeling of trying to cover up.
Xia Tian is Song Xueyue's personal maid and the person she trusts the most.
Thinking of Song Xueyue's abnormality these days and the incident between Song Xueyue and Gu Shenghui, Song Zhirou frowned even more tightly.
What kind of medicine is sold in Song Xueyue's gourd?
After looking carefully for a while, she saw that there were no valuable clues. Song Zhirou stepped up and was about to leave, but she caught a glimpse of a white corner out of the corner of her eye.
Song Zhirou paused, looked over, and saw a palm-sized piece of rice paper with burning marks on the edges hidden on a branch of a bush. If she hadn't caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye, it would have easily been ignored.
Song Zhirou stepped forward and picked up a corner of the rice paper.
There is a vaguely visible word "shu" written in a meaningful handwriting.
special?
Song Zhirou lowered her eyes. Among the people she knew, there seemed to be no one with the word "special" in their name.
After thinking carefully for a while to no avail, Song Zhirou wrapped the broken rice paper with a silk handkerchief, put it in her arms, and left.
As soon as I returned to the front yard, I was almost hit by a slave.
Song Zhirou quickly took a few steps back and frowned slightly: "Why are you so panicked?"
When the servant saw it was Song Zhirou, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Back, back to the eldest lady, someone from the palace is here, saying they want to invite the second lady to the palace."
Song Xueyue?
The doubts in Song Zhirou's eyes deepened, but she calmly said calmly: "I know, she may still be asleep now. It's not convenient for you to go, so I'd better go and talk to her."
The servant hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to refute Song Zhirou. He responded softly and retreated.
Song Zhirou naturally did not miss the slave's hesitation, and a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes.
The entire Song family was controlled by Li Qin, so he was naturally on guard against her. It was really difficult to worry about her like this.
Song Zhirou would not be stupid enough to do something like this. After all, before she completely left the Song Mansion, she was still a member of the Song Mansion. If anything happened to the Song Mansion, she, Song Zhirou, would still not be able to escape.
With this thought in mind, I came to Song Xueyue's door and knocked a few times.
The door creaked open from the inside, and it was Xia Tian who came to open the door. Seeing Song Zhirou, Xia Tian's eyes flashed with a hint of caution.
"Miss, my young lady is sleeping."
Song Zhirou showed a faint smile and repeated what the slave had just said.
"really?!"
Before Xia Tian could reply, Song Xueyue's voice of surprise came from inside the house.
"If it's true, the second sister should get up and ask the servant in person. Since the words have been brought to you, I will leave first."
Song Zhirou said calmly.
I don’t know if it was because of the surprise that she was about to become the Crown Princess. Song Xueyue’s attitude was unprecedentedly good. She even thanked Song Zhirou sweetly for not leaving, and she was almost disgusted and refused to let Song Zhirou eat her breakfast.
Spit it out.
Song Xueyue dressed up carefully, and then was helped out by Xia Xia. Her posture was graceful, as if she was already the princess of the world.
Song Zhirou was hiding behind the rockery, and when she saw Song Xueyue leaving, she returned her gaze with an expressionless face and walked towards Song Xueyue's house.
It seems that after that foreign envoy's palace banquet, Song Xueyue somehow dispersed a group of people in the courtyard, leaving only Xia Xia to wait on them.
This was actually more convenient for Song Zhirou. After successfully entering Song Xueyue's house, Song Zhirou glanced roughly.
Finally, his eyes fell on a portrait hanging in the room. It was a portrait of a girl. The person in the painting was none other than Song Xueyue.
And sign the payment.
A single name contains the character ‘special’.
It's special again.
Song Zhirou frowned slightly, and was about to step forward to check carefully, but suddenly she heard a slight noise coming from behind her. She was startled, and just when she wanted to turn around, her lips were covered by a big palm!
