The next morning, when it was almost dawn, Hongying, who was sleeping inside, got up in high spirits. She quietly walked around Baoying and got out of the bed, then called the maid to come in and quietly serve her while dressing.

, Baoying, who was still in her dream, was still awakened by the rustling sound. Shang opened her eyes in confusion, and saw Hongying standing under the window not far away, with a look of joy on her face, reaching out to let the maids

Wear a belt.

It looked as lively as a New Year's Eve. Thinking that Hongying had been so playful and active in the past, Baoying couldn't help but smile. She stood up slowly holding on to the quilt and said, "When is it?"

"Go back to my wife, it's just past three o'clock."

Hearing the maids' replies, Baoying was startled for a moment. She never thought it would be so early. Then she saw that Hongying had already turned back and asked, "Sister, were you woken up by me?"

Baoying saw the rare childish side of Hongying in front of her, so she opened the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed and said: "I just went out of town. Look, you have been thinking about it all night, so you got up so early."

While they were talking, the maids had already put on Hongying's clothes, and Hongying came forward and sat next to Baoying coquettishly, hugged Baoying's hand, leaned on her shoulder and said like sugar, "I've heard this a long time ago.

The centuries-old ancient lotus in Yuqing Temple is a unique sight in Chang'an, and it is now in full bloom.

It's a good time in the city. I heard that ladies from all over the city flock there in an endless stream at this time. Appreciating lotus is a pure and elegant thing, but the large number of people will make it lose the artistic conception. Moreover, if the sun reaches noon

While the sun was shining, I was afraid of getting caught in the heat, so I thought it would be better to set off early."

Hearing this high-sounding reason, Baoying glanced sideways and said with a smile, "Okay, let's freshen up early."

After the two sisters dressed up, they had breakfast together. When they were about to go to Li's Chaolu Courtyard and walked to the curved arch door outside the courtyard, Baoying suddenly remembered something and said to Huirong beside her:

"We are going to Madam's house now. Don't forget to go to the Princess's house."

Hearing Baoying's instructions, Hui Rongfang was about to respond when she saw Hongying on the side suddenly smiled and said: "Sister, I just remembered that I had asked Qiu Zhi to go to Wuzhu Garden. Now

I must have informed Sister Aman."

Baoying paused slightly when she heard the words. When Hongying saw this, she took Baoying's hand affectionately and said in an inaudible tone: "If sister is afraid that Qiu Zhi will not handle it well, it's okay to let Hui Rong go there again."

Baoying knew that Hongying had always been sensitive and thoughtful, and if he really let Huirong go, it would inevitably hurt Hongying's heart. Thinking about the small matter that was just a message, it didn't matter, so he took Hongying's hand and said: "

Qiu Zhi has always been polite, so since she has gone, let’s go.”

Seeing that Hongying was smiling as usual, the two of them headed all the way to Chaolu Courtyard. When Mrs. Li heard that the young lady wanted to go to Yuqing Temple, she didn't stop her. She thought that Monday was always open, and her daughter's family would go out together.

In addition, Yuqing Temple belonged to the royal family and was heavily guarded. It was a safe place, so he only ordered his personal maidservant to go with him, so that he could be taken care of.

When the two sisters Baoying took a carriage out of the city and enjoyed sightseeing on their way, it was already past the fourth quarter of the hour when they arrived at Yuqing Temple. At this time, the sun was already slanting in the clear blue sky, falling on the lattice windows through the intertwined branches and green leaves.

Covered with a layer of mottled and swaying broken light and shadow.

Li Sui saw the light printed on the shark gauze bed curtain falling on his bed, and then he slowly got up. After washing himself under the service of Nian Nu and the others, he ate in his yard. Thinking about today and the

As promised by Baoying, she didn't go anywhere and just read and waited in the room. However, after a stick of incense

At that time, seeing that the sun was about to get hotter, but Baoying couldn't wait for a long time, Li Sui couldn't help but wonder. Baoying has always been a punctual person, but today is a bit abnormal, so he thought about it and said: "

Nian Nu, you go to Baoying’s place and have a look, but what’s the matter and why you can’t come today?”

When Nian Nu heard the words, she immediately turned around and left. Just as she walked to the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, she heard Li Sui behind her suddenly stand up again and said: "Well, I'll be fine for now, I'll go with you."

While talking, Li Sui had already led Nian Nu and Yu Nu towards Baoying courtyard. When the three masters and servants arrived outside the courtyard, they felt more deserted than usual as soon as they entered, until they reached the verandah outside the main room.

On the way up, I suddenly saw a somewhat unfamiliar person

The little girl suddenly walked quickly from the corner to the bamboo curtain outside the house, looking around a bit furtively. Seeing this, Li Sui immediately stopped and blocked Nian Nu and Yu Nu who were following him back.

The three of them quietly hid behind the wall.

When he poked his head out for a moment, he saw that the bamboo curtain was shaking slightly. He must have entered the house. Li Sui frowned, his eyes changed slightly, and he immediately walked towards Baoying's house after thinking.

When they quietly opened the curtain and followed in softly, they discovered that there was no sound of conversation in the huge room at this moment. It was obvious that Baoying and his servants were not in the yard. At this moment, she followed the subtle rustling.

Sheng Zhizhi went outside Baoying's bedroom. Through the swaying bead curtain, he could clearly see the little girl just now tiptoeing open the bottom drawer of Baoying's dressing table and pulling out a folded tissue paper from her sleeve.

Just put it in.

Almost at the same time, Li Sui deliberately opened the bead curtain and made a "crash--" sound. The little girl panicked, and the next moment she hurriedly stuffed the things in her hands into her sleeves.

"Where are you from? What are you doing secretly in my wife's house? Could it be that you are stealing something?"

At Li Sui's signal, Nian Nu stepped forward and asked sternly. The little girl was so shocked that she knelt down with a "bang——" and defended incoherently: "Slave, I am here to serve Madam Bao, now.

Just about to come in and clean up——"

"oh?"

Nian Nu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and shot his sharp eyes at the little girl's sleeves: "Then what is hidden in your sleeves?"

As soon as the little girl heard Nian Nu's question, she was so frightened that she reflexively hid her left hand behind her back. Seeing this, Li Sui glanced at Yu Nu next to him. Yu Nu immediately understood, stepped forward and easily pinched the little girl.

His hands were naturally strong due to his daily martial arts practice. He saw that the little girl was restrained and unable to move. She was shocked and in pain and could only cry: "Princess, please forgive me, Princess, please forgive me."

The next moment, Yunu smoothly took out the page of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Li Sui. When Li Sui opened the page and took a look, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at the girl kneeling there and sneered: "

Is this how you serve your wife?"

When the little girl heard Li Sui's tone changed, she was so panicked that she didn't even dare to raise her head. She could only kneel down and kowtow and cry: "Please forgive me, Princess, I don't dare to do it anymore -"

Li Sui squeezed the thin paper in his hand tightly, looked at the person kneeling at his feet with cold eyes, shook the paper in his hand, and made a small "squeak" sound, and his words were full of coldness: "

Now I will give you another chance, who asked you to do this? If you can't tell me today, I will ask the jade slave to send you to your aunt, and then drive you out and sell it."

As soon as she heard that she was going to be sold, how could the little girl not be afraid? She was so frightened that she kept kowtowing and said: "Please forgive me, Princess, these, these are -"

I saw the little girl crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. She was shaking like chaff and said, "The red lady asked the slave to do it. I don't dare to do it anymore. I don't dare to do it anymore."

really--

Li Sui's eyebrows were cold when he heard this, and he immediately asked: "Where is Madam Bao now?"

Upon hearing Li Sui's question, the little girl quickly lowered her head and said, "Back to the princess, Madam went to Yuqing Temple with Lady Hong early this morning."

Before he finished speaking, Li Sui immediately turned around and left. As he walked, he ordered in a cold voice: "Niannu, send me to Wuzhu Garden to wait."

Seeing this, Niannu naturally knew that the matter must be extremely urgent, so he immediately responded and stayed.

"Princess? But what happened to Madam Bao?"

Hearing the question from the Jade slave who followed him, Li Sui handed the page of paper to the Jade slave. When the Jade slave took it, his pupils tightened. The paper was actually in the name of the King of Bohai County, inviting Lady Bao to go to the Jade slave.

A brief narration of the Qing Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Madam Hongying would frame her own sister in this way?

"There is a trail up the mountain from here to Yuqing Temple. We need to get there before it—"

After saying that, Li Sui's eyes turned and he made a decisive decision: "Jade slave, immediately prepare two fast horses and wait at the west corner gate."
