"Miss Cousin!" the maid was extremely nervous, "Does it taste wrong?"
Mingwei shook his head, handed the custard back, and said, "There's nothing wrong, I just suddenly lost my appetite."
It's really strange. Is she sick?
Recently I feel sleepy easily, can't lift my energy, I'm always hungry, but my appetite fluctuates.
Is it a symptom of the new life star?
The two maids looked at each other, one of them had a fierce look in her eyes and nodded to the other.
The maid then turned around, smiled at Ming and said, "Since my cousin doesn't want to eat, we'll take it away. Do you have anything you want to eat? We'll tell the kitchen to cook it."
"No need..." Mingwei said just two words when the servant girl standing in front of her suddenly opened her mouth and blew out a puff of smoke.
She had been depressed recently, and she was woken up early in the morning. She was already sleepy, and her perception was not as sharp as usual. When she noticed something was wrong, she had already inhaled part of the smoke, and when she touched her waist out of habit, she remembered that the flute was not with her - dress
It was too heavy to carry around with me, so I gave it to Duofu for safekeeping.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a palace official shouted: "Why is there smoke over there? Is there water leakage? Hurry! Call someone to report the news, and you must not affect the auspicious time."
When Mingwei heard this, his head started to feel dizzy.
The two maids saw the opportunity, rushed forward, and took action together——
In the palace, Yang Shu was restless, asking for tea and going out to look at the palace gate.
Seeing him like this, Ah Xuan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so nervous, how can you lose the bride? It's just a marriage, that's all."
Yang Shu looked at him sideways: "You make it sound like you've been married."
Ah Xuan choked and was angry.
Listen, are these human words? You kindly comforted him, but you stabbed him in return.
Seeing that their master and servant were chatting to death, Eunuch Liu smiled and came to the rescue: "It is natural for your majesty to be nervous. After all, it is a lifetime event." Then he suggested, "Why don't you read the memorial to get distracted? The etiquette is complicated, it's hard to
Free time."
Yang Shu waved his hand: "Where can I see it?"
He stood up, walked around twice, and asked, "What time is it?"
Ah Xuan rolled his eyes and replied: "You just asked me before, and it's not even a cup of tea."
Yang Shu sat down again and asked himself: "What should we do first? Oh, let's worship heaven and earth first, and then do the Ning ceremony..."
Ah Xuan couldn't bear it, so he simply reported: "Your Majesty is so worried, why don't you go see it yourself and report it immediately?"
Yang Shu was eager and immediately said: "Go, go, go!"
…
Duofu walked back quickly with the food box in hand.
There were many people in the Ji Mansion today, so the kitchen happened to have egg custard prepared, which saved time.
As she walked, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
I have been walking for a while, and the way back is not that long.
She stopped and looked around warily.
This sight made her full of doubts.
It's too quiet around here.
Today, the house was full of guests, and there was no quiet place at all. But where she stood, there was no sound except the rustling of the leaves in the wind.
She put down the food box, looked around, pulled out a stick used to fix the branches from the flowers and trees on the roadside, and weighed the weight. Although it was a little lighter, the length was still appropriate.
Duofu opened his eyes and looked over inch by inch.
A shadow flashed from the corner of her eye.
Found it!
She jumped up and hit her with a stick: "Drink!"
The opponent reacted very quickly, twisting his body like a swimming fish and staggering away.
Duofu swiped his stick and followed closely, forcing the opponent to turn around and deal with it.
This man was wearing coarse clothes with traces of wet soil on them. He had an ordinary face, as if he was a gardener just hired by the house.
The two of them went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, ten moves passed.
The opponent, relying on his advanced skills, slapped him with a palm, forcing Duofu to fight head-on.
In a hurry, Duofu could only sweep past with one stick.
"Boom -" there was a muffled sound, and the opponent was knocked to the ground by the air wave. Before he could catch his breath, his throat was pressed against the stick by the stick.
"Who are you?" Duofu asked, "What are your intentions in sneaking into Ji Mansion?"
The other party didn't expect that Duofu's internal strength was so deep. After he regained his breath, there was no room for counterattack. At this time, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Young girl is very skilled. In fact, I don't have any ill intentions. I just followed the order of my master.
Send a message to Miss Mingqi."
Duofu frowned: "Just spread the word, what are you doing by setting up a formation to stop me? Is this not malicious?"
This person laughed dryly: "It's just a small thing that is not appropriate..."
"Okay!" Duofu shook his wooden stick and shouted, "You don't need to explain. Just tell me clearly, whose order you came here? What message do you preach?"
The man said: "Miss Ming Qi will know who my master is as soon as he hears it. He wants to ask, since we have promised a marriage agreement, how can we marry two women to one woman?"
Promising a marriage alliance? Duofu was stunned for a moment.
The young lady had been engaged before, but the other party was the fifth young master! Where did he come from?
She was wondering when the other party saw the opportunity, raised his right hand, and dust with a peculiar smell came out.
Duofu didn't have much experience in traveling around the world, and he had never encountered such a despicable trick. Although he retreated in time, he still sucked in some of it.
The man took the opportunity to roll away from the threat of the stick, a sinister smile appeared on his lips, and the hidden weapon in his sleeves was released.
Duofu felt dizzy and was about to be shot by these hidden weapons.
At the critical moment, someone jumped over from the side and pushed her down: "Be careful!"
Duofu was dizzy, but when she regained consciousness, she realized that the person who saved her was Ah Xuan.
"Why are you here?"
Ah Xuan had no time to pay attention to her, because the gardener realized that someone was coming to help him and ran away.
"Why are you still standing there?" He ordered his men, "Go and arrest them quickly."
"Yes." The expert he brought chased the gardener.
Ah Xuan pulled Duofu up and asked, "What's going on? Who is this person?"
"I don't know either, just now..." Duofu shook his head, still feeling dizzy.
Ah Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper and put it to her nose.
A foul smell rushed into his nose, like a basin of cold water pouring over his head, and he woke up.
"Okay? Tell me what happened."
"Oh." Duofu said the matter simply, "...that's it."
Then he saw that A Xuan's face turned ugly, turned around and ran towards Ming Wei's residence.
"Hey!" Duofu caught up and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know who it is?"
Ah Xuan ran back to her: "Have you forgotten? Not long ago, Miss Ming got married."
Duofu suddenly realized: "It's the Second Young Master of Tang Dynasty!"
Everyone knew that the wedding was a trap, so she didn't take it seriously at all.
"That guy Tang Shao actually sent someone to interfere with His Majesty's wedding." Ah Xuan gritted his teeth, "They wanted to hold you back just now. I'm afraid something happened to Miss Ming!"
He ignored the palace people who came to block him, ran all the way into Mingwei's courtyard, and kicked open the door.
"Miss Ming?"
The room was empty, and no one came back to him. (To be continued)
