"Okay, Er Niang, I'm not someone who specifically wants to cause trouble." Su Ranhua clapped his hands casually, "I know that Princess Nan and Er Niang are angry, so just let them go. I won't care.
of."
Su Ranhua's words as if nothing had happened would have made the second lady's teeth itch with hatred, but now she really didn't dare to show it, and she held back her anger and glared at Su Ranhua. It was obvious that she had taken advantage, and she acted like an adult does not care about small things.
The person's posture makes you angry just by looking at it.
"By the way, Er Niang, Xiaocui went to Beiwang Mansion to accompany me. My mother will ask Er Niang to take care of her more. You also know that she is very weak, so I really can't worry about it." Su Ranhua looked at him with a smile.
The second lady said sincerely.
"Okay." After biting her lip for a long time, the second lady finally squeezed out a word from her mouth. She knew clearly that Su Ranhua was taking care of the third lady as a condition for keeping them secret, but she couldn't refuse and had to agree with annoyance.
, I just hope that nothing happens to the sick third lady, otherwise Su Ranhua will definitely blame her.
In vain, he found a protective umbrella for the third lady. Although he didn't use it very skillfully, he was able to make do with it. Su Ranhua smiled with satisfaction and walked away.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Ranhua thought for a while and decided to go find the small courtyard where the man in black held hostage that day. For those who intended to get close to her, although he would not reveal his identity, she would go and find the answer herself.
After all, he was led by men in black that day and used excellent light skills to fly around, so his memory of the route was not that deep. With the vague impression, Su Ranhua looked around in circles, but found nothing.
Just when Su Ranhua decided to give up and go home, a familiar hoarse sound came from a big tree on the roadside where she was standing.
"Are you looking for me?"
As soon as the sound fell, a man in gray clothes jumped in front of Su Ran's painting. The bamboo hat on his headband was deliberately pulled down, covering most of his face.
Su Ranhua was sure that he was the man in black and stared at him carefully, trying to see his face clearly from the shadow covered by the bamboo hat.
But can't see it.
"We haven't seen each other for two days, why are you so anxious to see me?" The man's hoarse and low voice contained a hint of joking.
"I just want to find a place to visit." Su Ranhua said nonchalantly.
"Visiting?" The man chuckled, his eyes flashed, and his voice sounded a little wary, "Stop those people."
Su Ranhua turned around in confusion and saw Chen Mo, the guard commander of the North Palace, leading a few people towards her.
Su Ranhua calmly concealed the curiosity in her heart, walked towards Chen Mo, smiled slightly and said, "Commander Chen."
"In this humble position, please see the princess." After Chen Mo led his subordinates to salute Su Ranhua, his scrutinizing gaze fell on the man in gray who had just walked away behind Su Ranhua, "Does the princess know that person?"
"He?" Su Ranhua turned around and happened to glance at a gray figure calmly turning around the street. He smiled casually and said, "He's just asking for directions."
"Oh." Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and said respectfully, "Princess, please return home early. I have something important to do in my humble position. Please take my leave."
Su Ranhua smiled and nodded.
Chen Mo led the people towards another road. Su Ranhua stopped for a moment, turned around and walked in the direction where the man in gray left.
Sure enough, the man was waiting at the corner of the street, leaning against the wall, his arms folded leisurely around his chest, and his entire face covered by a low-hanging bamboo hat.
"Your martial arts are so good, and you got out of the way before they saw you, why did you need me to stop you?" Su Ranhua said sarcastically.
"I'm hurt." The man said calmly.
"Are you injured too?" Su Ranhua blurted out instinctively.
"Who else is injured?" the man asked, following Su Ranhua's words.
Su Ranhua's mind shifted from the man in white he met in the mountains to Ximen Hao after taking off his mask. He glanced at the man in black and said lightly, "King Bei, he
Said he was injured."
"Oh?" The man in black raised his eyebrows, raised his head slightly, moved towards Su Ranhua, and took her wrist.
"What are you doing!" Su Ranhua said in a deep voice. She was deeply surprised by the man in black's unexpected attack.
"Sure enough." The man in black touched Su Ranhua's pulse with his fingers, and then let go of her. He said clearly that Ximen Hao, who had been poisoned by the killer grass, had transferred all the poison to her body.
"What do you mean?" Su Ranhua asked curiously.
"Nothing." The man in black was unwilling to answer, and a light flashed through his eyes hidden in the bamboo hat. Ximen Hao would not tell her the truth, and he would not talk too much. It was good for her not to say anything, lest he knew what was happening to him.
It's highly poisonous, so I'm frightened. I wouldn't be poisonous in the first place, but I'll be frightened to the point of becoming poisonous.
Seeing that the man in black didn't want to say anything, Su Ranhua knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he stopped talking.
"Do something for me." The man in black said again.
"Ask me to do something for you?" Su Ranhua felt very funny, "Isn't it enough to stop Chen Mo and the others for you just now? Why do you want me to do something for you?"
"Don't you want to come to my house? I'll tell you no." The man in black leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.
"What you want me to do is to go to your house." Su Ranhua affirmed. He didn't believe that the man in black would tell her the location of the small courtyard for no reason.
"I just like smart women like you." The man in black smiled noncommittally.
"I'm no longer interested in your family." Su Ranhua said nonchalantly.
"If you want to be at home between the Northern and Southern Princes' Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace, you should go there." The man in black threw out a bait, took out a branch from his arms, and handed it to Su Ranhua, "Put this in the
In the crack in the wall on the stone pier at the entrance of my small courtyard."
Su Ranhua lowered her eyelids and glanced at the branch. The branch had been cut several times. If the man in black hadn't handed it to her in person but had been thrown on the roadside, it would not have aroused the curiosity of others, and it would not be related to the broken branches.
The branches that fell to the ground were the same. But at this moment, Su Ranhua knew that this pruned branch must be a signal to be sent out.
"Don't you know how to do such a simple thing yourself?" Su Ranhua did not go to pick up the branches.
"I'm injured." Su Ranhua could hear the helplessness in the plain voice of the man in black.
Su Ran frowned and stared at the man in black intently. He couldn't see his face, but from the look of his body, he was still in good spirits. He didn't know where the injury was. And shouldn't he go back to recuperate after being injured?
Thinking of this, Su Ranhua suddenly understood. He looked at the man in gray clothes and the masked man in black with a bamboo hat. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Could it be that your lair was discovered by Ximen Hao? You are now
Became a lost dog?"
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!" The man in black put a branch in front of Su Ran's painting and said coldly.
"Okay," Su Ranhua took the branch, held it between his fingers, and looked at it casually, "I'm going to see who has been to your house, and also see who can understand the meaning of your branch.
"
"You can say hello to people who come to my house. As for people who can read tree branches, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to see them." The man in black left the wall, stood up straight, and shook his sleeves.
"Let's talk after we get there." Su Ranhua said, gently shaking the branch.
According to the words of the man in black, Su Ranhua finally found the small courtyard. It was actually in the center of the capital, and within a hundred meters was the bustling main street. That day, the man in black took Su Ranhua and used Qinggong to move quickly, as if
We walked a long way, but it turned out that we deliberately went around several times to confuse Su Ranhua's eyes.
The door of the small courtyard is ajar, and there are stone piers placed on both sides of the door.
As if taking a casual walk, Su Ran walked over leisurely and sat on the stone pier. He held the branch in his hand and shook it as if bored. His eyes were paying attention to the surroundings calmly, and his ears were listening.
The movement in the small courtyard.
After there was no movement for a long time, Su Ranhua stood up and inserted the branch into the crack in the wall as agreed.
She has been sitting here for a while. If someone had been waiting near this small courtyard, they would have noticed her in the dark and would have waited to see the result of her processing of the branches, that is, the exact meaning she wanted to convey.
As soon as Su Ranhua planted the branches, he unexpectedly faced the ajar door of the small courtyard and said loudly, "Ah! There is a thief! Catch the thief quickly!"
Before the voice could finish, two people rushed out of the yard and looked around.
And it was obvious that a breath passed quickly from one side.
"Over there!" One of them also noticed it and jumped to chase after him.
The person who stayed behind cast his scrutinizing gaze on Su Ranhua.
Su Ranhua was slightly startled. She originally thought that there would be Ximen Hao's people in the small courtyard. She recognized the clothes of Chen Mo's group and the Beijing Guards, but these two people were neither, they looked very strange.
Their identities could not be determined at the moment.
Su Ranhua regained his eagerness in an instant and watched the man chasing after him.
Soon the person who was chasing him came back empty-handed and shook his head gently at the person who stayed behind.
Su Ranhua was secretly very disappointed. As expected, the man in black was right. She did not see the person who received the message from the branch, but only felt a gust of wind leaving.
"Girl, please come and sit in my house." The person who had been looking at Su Ran's paintings said. Although he said it very politely, it was obvious that he had a strong sense of coercion.
Su Ranhua's brain couldn't wrap his head around it for a moment. How could the place that was obviously the man in black become this man's "mansion", his home?
In other words, they are really not Ximen Hao’s people?
This was a good time. Su Ranhua originally thought that the people in the courtyard were tracking down Ximen Hao in the small courtyard, so he shouted to deliberately attract their attention and use their hands to find people related to the men in black. In the end, he shouted
A person with a strange identity came out. The thief hiding in the dark ran away and focused all his attention on her.
It's no wonder that the "thief" hides so secretly and is so skilled. How could a seemingly ordinary woman find her so easily? Unless she is a thief who sincerely wants to catch the thief.
Su Ranhua also wanted to understand the situation in front of him, so he followed the man's words and walked into the yard without hesitation.
