This morning, Wan Qing waited outside the door for a long time, but didn't hear the sound in the room. She couldn't help but feel puzzled, and couldn't help but knock on the door, "Miss, Miss..."
No one responded in the room. Wan Qing knocked again for a long time, but there was still no sound. She was worried and pushed the door open. As expected, there was no one on the bed. She was anxious. She hurriedly stepped forward and touched the quilt. It was already cold, indicating that it was cold.
The lady has been up for a long time.
At a glance, she saw a note on the table. She quickly picked it up and saw the lady's delicate handwriting, "I have something to do, I'll be back in the evening." There was no name, but Wan Qing recognized that it was the lady's handwriting, and she suddenly relaxed.
tone.
"Zi Qian." Wan Qing walked to the door and called out to the empty yard. Someone immediately appeared. She asked, "Miss went out early in the morning. Did you and Zi Yuan see it?"
"The eldest lady went out alone and we are not allowed to follow her." This means that they saw Liu Yun leaving.
"Damn it, you actually let the eldest lady go out alone?" Wan Qing couldn't help but raise her voice. Seeing Ziqian's silence, she regained her composure. She knew she shouldn't blame him. The lady had a tough temperament and she couldn't.
If you give in, you can't follow. If Ziqian follows secretly and is discovered by her, she will never give up. The most intolerable thing for her is disobedience.
Wan Qing stood there and stared at Liuyun's room for a long time. He turned his head and thought about what day it was. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered that it was the death anniversary of the young lady's own mother.
Three years after the death of the mistress, the master placed Ji's memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. The deceased was only worshiped in the ancestral hall during the Qingming Festival, but not on the anniversary of the death of the mistress.
But speaking of it, the young lady had never gone out alone on the anniversary of her mistress's death. Besides, when the mistress passed away, the young lady was only nine years old. In the late Qing Dynasty, the young lady even thought that the young lady had probably forgotten her mistress.
But I didn't expect that she would run out like this today.
"Hurry up and search separately with Ziyuan. The eldest lady may have gone to the ancestral hall of the ancestral temple, or she may have gone near Liuli Mountain." The late Qing Dynasty was not sure of the eldest lady's thoughts, so he could only guess secretly.
Zi Qian nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you want to inform the young master?"
The usually quiet Wan Qing rarely had such a cold expression. She turned around and looked at him for a while before asking, "Didn't the young master tell you that when you arrive at the 'Zhu Yan Pavilion', you will only have one master?"
"I understand." After saying that, the black shadow flashed and disappeared.
"Xiao Liuzi..." Wan Qing called a few times, and Xiao Liuzi hurried over. She lowered her voice and said, "Miss is going out to do some business. You quickly send someone to guard the door of the yard. If anyone comes, send them away. Say Miss today.
I won’t see anyone. If the old lady or the master comes, I will reply like this.”
Xiao Liuzi frowned, "But if the master and the old lady are not here..."
"Do as I say." Wan Qing glanced at him calmly, and Xiao Liuzi nodded immediately. She continued, "Miss's going out must be kept secret. If the second lady finds out, it will be troublesome."
"Don't worry, Sister Wan Qing." After saying this, Xiao Liuzi left.
In fact, it is indeed what the late Qing Dynasty thought, but it is not entirely correct.
At this time, Liu Yun had already rode a black horse to Liuli Mountain outside Linyang City. She left the black horse at the bottom of the mountain and only went up the mountain. Fortunately, she was prepared and changed into light men's clothes, which made her walking much easier.
Liuli Mountain used to be called Yushan. Later, because of the wild flowers all over the mountain and the sunlight shining down as colorful as glass, it was called Liuli Mountain over time. Later, because of the chaos in the world, many people died at the foot of Liuli Mountain. After that, Liuli Mountain became
It was cast a shadow of death and was regarded as an extremely ominous place.
Liu Yun is holding a slender crutch, which she prepared earlier. Although this crutch looks long, thin and easy to break, it is actually made of fine suet wood and is very hard.
, unless a person with high martial arts skills breaks it with internal force, and it is absolutely impossible for a person with Liu Yun's strength to break it.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, so she used this crutch to support her as she walked up. She didn't know if it was a special material like suet wood, but she didn't see any of those snakes and insects, and Liu Yun was happy and relaxed.
Passing through the dense woods, there was a sparkling moon lake. Liuyun didn't stop for much, and walked straight around the moon lake to where she wanted to go.
The green leaves at the top of the giant tree are connected together, casting mottled shadows. A small wooden house is hidden behind the lush camphor tree, looming. It is a place only Liuyun knows. Ji once brought her there when she was a child.
After passing here, she passed away and Liu Yun never came here again.
She breathed a sigh of relief slowly and slowly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun shining on her body, as if her mother was gently stroking her long hair. After a long time, she opened her eyes again, with
Walking into the cabin with a peaceful smile.
The door to the room opened with a creak. The table was covered with thick dust, and the furnishings were as simple as before. Her long white fingers slowly brushed every thing in the room, which... my mother had used.
s things.
In fact, there is a secret that has always been hidden in Liuyun's heart, about the cause of her mother's death.
She used to be too dependent on Lin, so she believed everything she said, but now she has seen through Lin's hypocrisy, and suddenly discovered something she had never thought of before.
How did her mother die? Both Lin and her mother said that her mother died of illness, and she had accepted this theory. However, her mother was a spoiled child and had always been in excellent health. Why did she suddenly die of an emergency?
During these days, she repeatedly thought about what happened a few years ago, but to no avail, so she thought of coming to Liuli Mountain.
Her mother used to come here occasionally. She often said that such a paradise is the life she likes. She is the aloof mistress of Mu Mansion, noble and dignified, virtuous and virtuous, but she is not the real herself. Here, she can
Sitting at his desk painting, playing the piano and reciting poems, this is the real Ji Mengxian.
Liuyun walked to a wooden box, opened it, and saw a box full of rice paper. These were poems and songs written by her mother in the past, but no one appreciated them.
Her eyes suddenly paused, and she took away the pile of rice paper. There were actually two booklets at the bottom. Liuyun immediately picked it up and flipped through it. After roughly flipping through a few pages, her face suddenly turned pale. She bent her fingers and the booklet fell to the ground.
She was so frightened that she suddenly took two steps back.
She clutched her chest, forced herself to calm down, and swallowed with difficulty. After a while, she finally calmed down, squatted down and picked up the two books again, but for a moment she didn't know whether she should put them back again.
After hurriedly flipping through it, she realized that the two books contained secrets, Ji's secrets, and royal secrets. If anything was revealed, it would lead to death.
Liu Yun, who had regained his composure, held the book and carefully thought about whether he should let them stay here. If they were taken away by people who went hunting in the mountains and spread out, the consequences would be disastrous.
"What should I do?" She murmured to herself, but her hand holding the booklet suddenly tightened.
