There was no other way, too many people would die if they let go, and Fang Shu might be responsible because she was in the back kitchen.
Because there are more girls, the back kitchen is very busy, and they have to cook a lot of prey, and also make some daily light food, because they are used to eating all kinds of exquisite refreshments, and they are not used to eating prey roasted by fire.
Indeed, it's too greasy, and needs to be neutralized. When I arrived, the ingredients were complete, so it's nothing.
In fact, the crystal dumplings and soup dumplings she made are popular, and she is also happy, feeling recognized.
She also heard that someone compared her soup dumpling with the "No. 1 in the world" soup dumpling outside the palace.
Said that since the other lady boss left, the soup dumplings have changed a lot, both in terms of quantity and recipe, and the taste is no longer there.
The shop owner's son and woman quarreled every day, and once it broke out that rat meat was used instead of pork, it made people sick.
Fang Shu was stunned when she heard this, the son and daughter of the boss
It took a long time to realize that it might be Mu Qing and Mu Ge, they found them and occupied the shop.
In order to save costs, they actually used rat meat instead of pork. With such a righteous temper, Mujin's quarrel was justified.
She alone can't deal with her two rogue brothers, and if her two rogue brothers insist on taking a share, she may have nothing to do, otherwise she wouldn't quarrel every day.
Fang Shu suddenly felt a little reconciled, the brand she worked so hard to open, the shop she opened was cheaper than others, and it was originally reserved for Hibiscus, or continued to open after leaving the palace, this almost cut off her thoughts.
The shop is dirty, even if it reopens, it will be useless, no one will come again, they will only remember that the soup dumplings in this shop are mixed with rat meat.
Fang Shu was a little depressed. After finishing breakfast, she found a place to rest. Watching many eleven or twelve-year-old girls playing on the grass, her smile was very sunny, and her mood suddenly improved again.
A hundred gold a month, she should have accumulated a lot of money after leaving the palace, don't worry.
Because of chasing the emperor, there is only one hour of rest in the daytime every day. The rest is either on the road or setting up tents, because the emperor's team is still walking inside. If they don't hurry up, they will be left behind if they can't keep up. open.
This is not what the empress dowager wants to see. The empress dowager wants to introduce someone to the emperor, but no one can see her. How to introduce
So I got tired and rested, and continued walking after resting. On the third day, the road was so difficult that the carriage could not get in, and I had to walk.
The queen mother only came down and walked for half a day before giving up. She was so tired that she lay down in the tent and didn't recover all night. Not only her, but also everyone else, Fang Shu couldn't bear it.
She heard those girls say, why are you chasing after the emperor? Even if he looks like a fairy, I don't want to chase him anymore, it's too tiring.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was echoed by other girls, and worried about being heard, he deliberately lowered his voice.
But, there are not so many places to camp in the barren mountains and mountains, so they are all crowded together, and the tents are not soundproof. Occasionally, you can hear a few words, which are funny and helpless.
Giving up so easily would not be a rival in love at all, but they haven't met the emperor yet, so they don't know that the emperor is really a fairy.
If he knew, he would have to keep up even if he sharpened his head, talk to the emperor, talk about love, right
Of course, this is not up to them, it depends on the emperor's intentions, Fang Shu is still very confident about this, the emperor is not the kind of person who cares about the skin and eats tender grass.
A girl who is only eleven or twelve years old, how can she do it
Fang Shu thought in a daze that she was only fifteen years old with this body, so she suddenly laughed, the emperor is a beast, even fifteen years old will not let it go.
After staying in the mountains for three or five days, I don't know if it was her illusion, but I feel that something is wrong today, it is too quiet.
She would go back to the hut every day before going to bed. In order to ensure the quality of sleep, she went to several places today, and they were all so quiet that there were no insects or birds singing.
Because I didn't pay attention to what was going on at ordinary times, I heard that it would be like this when it was about to rain, and it would be quiet for a while, so Fang Shu didn't take it to heart, but instinctively felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if something was about to happen.
Worried that something really happened, she huddled in the tent and didn't go out, and was afraid that because of her cowardice, she would harm herself and everyone else.
I wanted to contact the emperor, but unfortunately they were too far away. They rode on horseback, and they were always one step faster than here.
Hurry up during the day and stop at night to wait for them. When they catch up, there are only traces of stationed at the scene, and the people have already left.
Maybe she knew that the queen mother was planning to give him a blind date, and it was intentional. This also caused Fang Shu to lose contact with him, and she could only wear it on his body at night.
At that time, she was too tired to move. Fang Shu was not that boring. If she bothered him at that time, she would not be able to open her eyes under normal circumstances.
I haven't seen the emperor for a few days, and I haven't left a note with the emperor. I really want to contact him today.
Because I was uneasy, the feeling that the storm was coming was too strong.
But after returning to the tent, looking at the soldiers with torches coming and going, and the sleeping figure beside her, she would feel that she was overwhelmed.
Living with her are several servant girls, brought by the queen mother, some who pinch shoulders, some who wash feet, and some who comb hair. Because the queen mother only brought her a female chef, it is impossible for her to live with men, so she followed The maids slept together.
There are three or five people in a tent. They all know each other and have topics to talk about. Together, they complained about the bad temper of the official lady, and praised who is beautiful, but they never talked to her, as if they were excluded from the outside. .
Fortunately, she got used to it. When there was no hibiscus, she was always walking alone. She bought a book before traveling with her. Every time others chatted, she couldn't sleep because of the noise, so she would read with a book.
Sometimes I listen to some of their chats intentionally or unintentionally. It's no big deal, but the atmosphere is very gratifying.
Fang Shu didn't hate it, so she never stopped them, saying that they were too noisy, it was too late and it was time to go to bed, and so on, she just paid attention to them silently.
The uneasiness actually wanted to talk to them to calm down the nervous mood, but unfortunately, there was no one.
Fang Shu sighed, and at night, she came out of the tent by herself, pulled out the whistle hanging around her neck to have a look, and decided to blow the whistle to attract the emperor's eagle.
The emperor hadn't slept yet at this point, and he had been sleeping very late recently, so it was still a good idea to find him.
It's good to talk to the emperor, talk about the things here and her uneasiness, in short, she really wants to communicate with him now.
The whistle was loud, fearing to wake up the queen mother, Fang Shu was going to go to a farther place, preferably in a remote place.
At night, the ground was uneven, but just for a moment, Fang Shu didn't bring a light, because the weather was fine, it was the kind of gray, silver gray, and the reason for the moon that could be seen faintly.
The moon is very big. In modern times, such a moon could only be seen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Now it can be seen as long as the weather is good. It is really miraculous.
Fang Shu carefully stepped on dead branches and fallen leaves, supported the tree all the way, and went to the edge of the mountain. After making sure that there was no one in the place, she took out the whistle and was about to blow, when there was a sound of trampling on broken branches in the distance, Fang Shu was startled With a jump, he instinctively hid.
When she went to the latrine in the evening, she felt something was wrong. There was no chirping sound nearby. The weather was dry and cloudless, and the moon could be seen. It didn't look like it was going to rain, so there must be something wrong somewhere else.
For example, being targeted by wolves, or something.
In addition to attracting the emperor's eagle, there is another thing to do when I come out this time, which is to explore the situation.
I wanted to tell the generals and let them investigate, but I was afraid that she was overwhelmed and would be accused of nonsense without evidence, and then criticized and locked up for two or three days or something.
There was no other way to come out alone, otherwise she would always feel uneasy.
Fang Shu waited for a while, then secretly poked her head out to look, and was relieved to find that it was a person.
It's better if it's not a pack of wolves.
wait, people
How could anyone else be here
Looking at his clothes, it's not a soldier, nor a court lady, nor an eunuch, nor those ladies from noble families. They are dressed casually, a bit like ordinary people.
This is a site specially circled by the royal family. It is impossible for people to come and go, and the probability is lower than that of wild wolves.
There is eccentricity, there is definitely eccentricity.
Fang Shu saw him hiding in the darkness, secretly approaching several soldiers who ran out to go to the latrine. Those soldiers didn't feel anything at all, and one of them who stood a little far away was suddenly pinched from behind.
Then a few black shadows appeared from nowhere and killed several other soldiers.
Fang Shu covered her mouth, frightened by the bloody scene.
Did she seem to accidentally discover something
Because everyone was basically in a group, chatting while going to the hut, distracted, and some didn't go far, not like her, almost far away from the tent, at least one or two hundred meters.
Those soldiers were out on patrol, so they had to walk so far. They just went to the hut during the patrol, and they suffered a disaster.
Fang Shu suddenly felt scared. If she brought a lantern with her when she came and exposed her whereabouts, would she be like them, decapitated now
She didn't dare to move anymore, the blood all over her body was cold, and her legs were so frightened that she couldn't walk at all, and she couldn't walk. This is a forest, and there are dead leaves and dead wood everywhere. Just now, one of them just stepped on it. The dead wood was exposed, and Fang Shu didn't want to follow his old path.
She can only wait, waiting for them to leave.
Fang Shu leaned on a protruding rock and leaned her back on the mountain. It could be said that she watched them pull the soldiers aside, changed their clothes, followed their example, and lined up to go to the tent. direction.
What are they going to do
Assassinate the Queen Mother? Or assassinate one of the noble girls
Who caused the catastrophe
Fang Shu knew nothing about them.
It was just a coincidence that she found them.
Girls, it's always easy to think too much when going out to the latrine alone at night, especially when it's quiet and unbelievably quiet.
What kind of ghosts suddenly appeared, wild wolves appeared suddenly, or assassins appeared suddenly, she had simulated all the conjectures in her mind.
Because of this, she was panicked and uneasy. She didn't expect that it was this "overthinking" that made her discover the clues in advance.
What should we do now
Run away, or notify everyone
It was a question of where she would run alone, and in the wilderness, if a person wanted to die alone, even if she survived by luck, she would be killed next time.
Escaping unexpectedly is in itself a serious crime of beheading.
There is only one choice left for her, to stay and find a way to tell everyone the news.
Fang Shu wanted to run back, but stopped after two steps, no, why is it so quiet all around
If there were only one or two people, there might only be a small area of silence, and the entire outer circle became silent, indicating that there were many enemies hiding in the dark, and it was very likely that the entire camp would be surrounded.
Such a big battle is obviously not aimed at one person, maybe it is aimed at the queen mother and all the noble ladies, trying to catch them all
Why
Is it related to the batch of ministers that the emperor dealt with a few days ago
To avenge them
But they are not dead yet, the emperor issued an order to ask to be executed after autumn, and they have just been sentenced now.
Do you want to rob prison
How about jailbreak? There's no reason to take the risk and come here to provoke this group of nobles
So who is it
The Song family
The person who is right about the Song family should be the emperor, what will they do to the queen mother
Fang Shu panicked, but she still kept her breathing and footsteps down, trying not to make a sound. She was not sure how many people were hiding in the deep mountains
Are they here to kidnap the Queen Mother, or are they going to kill the Queen Mother
If it was the former, there was still a glimmer of hope. If it was the latter, as long as she showed her face, she would basically die.
Fang Shu was terrified, but she couldn't be afraid. Now she was the only one who found the problem. Because she was a girl, she would go farther than others to go to the latrine. She went to the outskirts, which was the farthest place from the tent. By fluke.
Under normal circumstances, no one would run that far, which means that everyone's life is tied to her alone.
She must cheer up and tell them that the danger is close at hand!
Fang Shu came back close to the mountain, which meant that she didn't have to guard her back, but just looked at the front.
It's so dangerous, it hasn't been discovered yet, probably there are only a few people in this area, and they've already left, so it's not that dangerous here
Fang Shu didn't dare to relax her vigilance, bent her body, covered by the grass, and went all the way back to the barracks.
Fortunately, those people haven't taken action yet, before it's too late.
Fang Shu immediately went to find the general who was protecting the queen mother. The emperor told her that he would use the jade he gave if necessary. Unexpectedly, he had just finished talking a few days ago and would use it today.
When she said she wanted to find the general, she was stopped, and Yu took it out. The guards hesitated for a moment, stared at Yu for a long time, and then turned her eyes away, "Wait here."
Then I went in with jade, the sound insulation of the tent was not good, Fang Shu heard them talking, the young general said that someone was asking to see him outside the door, another slightly dignified voice asked, who
The young general probably showed him the token, and the man quickly said, "Please come in."
Before the young general could come out, Fang Shu rushed in, and before Li had time to make a move, she said, "When the servants just went to the latrine, they found a few people who had killed the patrolling soldiers and put on their clothes to sneak in. General, please take them quickly." Down."
She pointed outside, "They probably brought a lot of people and surrounded this place!"
As soon as the words were finished, a flaming arrow shot suddenly, burning through the tent and grazing her scalp.
The sound of burning hair filled my ears, and warm liquid slid down my face, I don't know if it was sweat or blood.
Fang Shu's knees softened, and she sat on the ground paralyzed. She stepped back in fear, but after only two steps, countless arrows suddenly shot from her side. There was nothing in the tent, not even anything or a place to cover it.
Fang Shu watched helplessly as the general standing beside her was shot in the chest by an arrow, holding her jade in his hand, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and fell in front of her with a bang.
The bloody jade rolled and landed not far from her.
Fang Shu was panting, her pupils were full of fear, and it took her a long time before she dared to reach for the piece of jade with shaking hands, which still had another person's body temperature on it.
That person was still talking to her just now, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.
