Xia Houran sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her own face in the bronze mirror that was exactly the same as Shuzi's. Her hand holding the wooden comb was shaking a little. She felt very uneasy. She always felt that she had lost something unknowingly.
, but I can’t say what I lost...
"Madam." Wei Quanfu's voice came from outside the room.
Xia Houranluo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, put down the wooden comb in his hand, and responded softly: "What's the matter?"
"The poster asked me to send a message that he found something suspicious on the outskirts of the Imperial City and asked me to take my wife there."
Something fishy?
Xia Houranluo had a strange feeling in his heart. Early this morning, Gong Lianyangxuan took Xiangli Rongde and Yao Yun into the palace. He wanted to go in and see the terrain in broad daylight, but why did he go to the outskirts of the city? But Wei Quanfu
She didn't doubt it, so she picked up the veil on the dressing table and put it on her face before leaving the room.
"Okay, let's go there now."
"Okay, I have arranged the carriage at the back door. Madam, come with me." Wei Quanfu said with a smile, and then walked ahead to lead the way.
In fact, Xia Houranluo, the Prime Minister's Mansion in Gonglianyangxuan, is very familiar with it. After all, she once worked as a maid here. Outside the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is an uninhabited alley, which is usually where servants come and go. If the carriage is arranged
If it's at the back door, it seems that Gong Liyangxuan doesn't want others to know that she, an ugly girl, lives here, or maybe... this time she goes to the outskirts of the city so no one else can know.
That uneasy feeling filled her heart. Xia Houran sat in the carriage of the carriage, and couldn't help but grab the hem of her skirt with both hands, and tangled them together...

The road to Xingyu Palace has already become muddy due to continuous heavy rains. Even though it has stopped raining now, there is no sunlight in the gloomy sky, so this road is not easy to walk.
A little girl was walking on the road leading to Xingyu Palace, dragging her usual pale pink skirt. As she walked, her gold and red embroidered shoes with peonies embroidered on them would be exposed a little under the pale pink skirt.
, just like the little lotus stamens in early summer, but even though she was walking on such a road, she did not soil her clothes and the gods did not soil the soles of her shoes, because she seemed to be walking on a muddy road, but in fact it was not like this.
, she... was walking in mid-air, still a little away from the muddy road. Even the skirt and belt tassels trailing behind her did not touch the ground.
She walked slowly and leisurely like this, as if she were a fairy falling from the sky.
The little girl originally walked along the deserted road in the direction of Xingyu Palace, but she stopped halfway and looked at the woods that looked a bit eerie in the dim light.
, and then couldn't help but turn around, the pale pink figure flashed, and entered the woods. There were faint traces of a village in the woods, but now there are only traces left. Obviously, even if there is a village here, it is already
There is nothing left of what happened a long time ago, but there is a lake not far from the village. There is a faint blue light flashing on the lake. If ordinary people saw it, they would definitely think it was a will-o'-the-wisp and avoid it, but the little girl was too small.
, that cute face like a porcelain doll has a smile on it, sweet and pleasant.
