Lu Xiaoshu then said: "Mother, I am about the same size as Sister Liao, and I have new men's clothing that I am going to wear for fun, why don't I ask someone to pick it up! Mother, I think it's better for me to send Sister Liao back. There is a hidden weapon given to me by Brother Zhou, it is very useful!"
As she spoke, she moved closer to Mu Qing and told her that this artifact was used to deal with those two arrogant soldiers in the courtyard in the garden...
Mu Qing glanced at Lu Xiaoshu suspiciously, but Liao Yuanyuan had already refused: "Xiaoshu, how can this be possible!"
"Sister Liao, don't refuse! Since you want to come to see me, how can I ignore it? If you hadn't come to our house, you wouldn't have been delayed by such a thing. If I don't send you back, how can I Don't worry!" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly said.
Mu Qing's lips moved, but she was speechless. She was not very good at words, even if Lu Xiaoshu said so, even if she wanted to stop her, she would not open her mouth, for fear that she would hurt Liao Yuanyuan.
Lu Xiaoshu saw his mother hesitated, why would he wait any longer? Immediately got up and hurriedly dragged Liao Yuanyuan away.
Sending Liao Yuanyuan home is the only one, and besides, she still misses her teacher in her heart. Even though Zhou Shizhi said that, she still feels uneasy, and it is better to go and see for herself...
At the second gate, Du Juan and Hong E were called to follow, they got into the carriage, picked up the remote alley path, and went to Liao's mansion.
Walking halfway, I suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps and low voices from a fork in the corner ahead.
Lu Xiaoshu hastily raised his hand to make a silent gesture, ordered the carriage to stop slowly, and asked Du Juan and Hong E to go and see what happened.
Du Juan and Hong'e took the order and left calmly. When Qingluan and Cailuan saw each other, they were immediately ashamed: They are both servants, so why is there such a big difference? It was immediately compared to others! A servant like him is what the master likes, right
"I'll go and have a look too!" Qingluan gritted her teeth and said boldly, and was about to get up immediately.
Liao Yuanyuan subconsciously wanted to stop her, but she moved her lips but closed them again. Obviously to send her back to the mansion, she can't just let the servants of Lu's mansion take risks, but she protects her own people!
"You don't want to go!" It was Lu Xiaoshu who hurriedly stopped her, and said with a low smile, "Du Juan and Hong E have a sense of proportion, let's just wait here! There is no point in you going."
Qingluan originally blurted out the words out of a moment's impulse, and regretted the words as soon as they came out. Hearing Lu Xiaoshu's obstruction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave a vague apologetic smile, and then pretended to stay.
Not long after, Hong E was the only one who came back. She jumped into the car with a dignified expression, and whispered to Lu Xiaoshu: "Miss, those people are definitely not kind, they are sneaky and don't know what they want to do! Du Juan looked at Strange, I quietly followed! See, miss, this is what they dropped. I don’t know what’s in it, it looks like those people brought a lot of it!”
Hong E said, and handed to Lu Xiaoshu a round object the size of an egg in diameter and more than a chi long in his hand.
Lu Xiaoshu was thinking about Zhou Shizhi's plan, how could he not care about such abnormal things? He hurriedly took it over, looked at it carefully, opened it from one end, and a pungent smell mixed with saltpeter and sulfur came to his face.
When she poured it out, she was shocked and exclaimed, "It's gunpowder!"
Liao Yuanyuan couldn't help but change her face: "Gunpowder? This is a forbidden product!" She thought to herself: It seems that what happened tonight is not over yet...
"Which direction did you see those people going?" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly asked.
Hong E thought for a while and said, "Northeast direction!"
Liao Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she said in shock: "Northeast! If, if you go all the way to the northeast, it's the direction of the palace..."
Lu Xiaoshu's body trembled, and the two looked at each other in surprise.
Based on her intuition, Lu Xiaoshu was sure that the direction those people were going to must be the palace, her mind was running fast, and she thought: I don't know if those people are going to blow up the palace or deal with the people in the palace? Either way, it's not a good thing! Brother Zhou... Maybe he's still in the palace!
"Hong E, you send Sister Liao home." Lu Xiaoshu's eyes darkened, and she wanted to follow Du Juan up to see what those people were going to do with so much gunpowder. If it's a palace...
Liao Yuanyuan, however, refused to go back home, and held Lu Xiaoshu's hand: "Xiaoshu, it's too dangerous! You can't go!"
"I must go, sister, don't worry, Hong'e will send you home safely!" Lu Xiaoshu was anxious like a cat scratching, how could he listen to what Liao Yuanyuan had to say
"Even if you keep up, what can you do with so many of them? If, if their destination is really the palace, there must be someone to meet them, can you enter the palace?" Liao Yuanyuan squeezed her wrist with strength. , asked in a low voice.
Lu Xiaoshu was startled, and suddenly hesitated. She knew that Liao Yuanyuan was right, but gunpowder was too dangerous. Now that she saw it, she couldn't calm down and pretend she couldn't see it! In case Zhou Shizhi and the others suffer any harm because of this, how can she live in her heart!
"Listen to me," Liao Yuanyuan said in a low and calm voice, "There is a person who can enter the palace unimpeded, but I don't know if he is still in the mansion at this moment. Be sure to get in touch with him soon..."
Lu Xiaoshu just followed Liao Yuanyuan to Rongjun Palace.
The Rongjun Prince's Mansion is also like the Lu Mansion, facing the enemy, guarding the gate and courtyard walls to death. Fortunately, the steward knew Liao Yuanyuan and Lu Xiaoshu, he let them in hastily, he thought they were the ones who were frightened while visiting the Lantern Market, and he comforted them a bit.
Lu Xiaoshu was about to talk about looking for the county prince, but Liao Yuanyuan pulled his sleeves and stopped him with a wink. She didn't know what Liao Yuanyuan was going to do again, so she had no choice but to shut up.
Liao Yuanyuan did not deny the housekeeper's misunderstanding, and after a few polite words of greetings, she proposed to meet the old concubine of the county. After meeting the old concubine of the county, the two told the truth.
The old concubine of the county was skeptical, so Lu Xiaoshu offered the gunpowder cartridge he had picked up without saying a word. She panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly passed on the news to King Rong's confidants, and sent someone to inform King Rong, asking him to be careful. Lu Xiaoshu yelled that it was inconvenient to go with him, and he was secretly anxious, so he could only watch helplessly as the people from the palace went.
The old concubine of the county took pity on the two of them for being frightened, and comforted them for a while, then ordered someone to take them down to rest.
Lu Xiaoshu was a little bit crazy: "What can we do! There is no way for us to stay here!"
Liao Yuanyuan was startled, and looked at her in surprise: "Of course we should wait here, otherwise, where else do you want to go?"
"I—" Lu Xiaoshu opened his mouth, but was speechless all of a sudden. Of course she couldn't say that she was taking Liao Yuanyuan back home, but she actually wanted to see if her mistress was safe!
"Sister," Liao Yuanyuan stepped forward, took her wrist and gently squeezed it, and said softly, "It's better not to meddle in the affairs of our girl's house, the outside affairs should be left to the men! If it hurts your boudoir because of this, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage? Just now, when we came to Rongjun Wang's mansion and met the housekeeper, my sister wanted to see Rongjun Wang as soon as she opened her mouth. Others may not think about anything in an emergency, but what will they think afterwards! My sister's thoughts and schemes are above ordinary people. When she was in Lu's mansion, she was so calm and calm. If it were me, I would I can’t do that either! It’s just that my sister’s temperament is a bit too informal, this is not acceptable! I treat you as my own sister, so I say these things to you. If you don’t like to listen, I will be annoyed by it I have nothing to say!"
Lu Xiaoshu felt a little ashamed secretly when he heard this, she really didn't take this kind of defense between men and women very much.
In the previous life, I was used to doing my own way, and besides, the modern society doesn't talk about it, otherwise it would be hypocritical! She played with her elder brother and Lin Fang since she was a child, and she didn't pay much attention to the countryside; later, she was taken away by that villain Zhou Shizhi, and the two of them have a casual temperament, so they don't have much scruples!
Therefore, now she unconsciously brings out that indifference in her actions and words. I often forget that now I am the daughter of the Marquis of Changping, and that this is the capital!
Although she didn't care, and felt disapproving in her heart, she didn't mean that she liked listening to others pointing at her behind her back.
"My good sister, I appreciate you for saying such things. How can I blame you before it's too late! If it's normal, just don't laugh at me behind my back and make up a lot of rumors. How can you be like you? I know , don’t do this again from now on! Good sister, I don’t have a real sister to mention it, and my mother is busy, so I don’t have so much time to take care of me. If there is anything wrong with me in the future, sister, please don’t be polite, just say it !" Lu Xiaoshu's heart warmed, and he smiled half gratefully and half ashamedly.
Liao Yuanyuan never liked to meddle in other people's business, and it was the first time she had said such a thing to Lu Xiaoshu, she was very happy to see that she didn't blame herself for it, and she quickly smiled: "As long as you don't think I'm meddling, Then I'll say it!"
"No way!" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly said, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Having said that, Lu Xiaoshu was still thinking about his mistress in his heart. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Sister, since we have notified the matter, it is better not to stay here to disturb the old princess! Sister is not in a hurry Hurry home to report safety? Let's go now!"
Liao Yuanyuan held her back again, and sighed softly: "You, it seems that you have forgotten what I just said again! What if what happened just now happened along the way? I thought it was safe outside No, I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous! Don’t worry, the guards in the county palace are much more powerful than ordinary mansions. Just now I have asked the old concubine of the county. She will send someone to report to our two families. We just need to be good Just wait here for dawn! Here, it's safe!"
