Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Everyone set off for Beijing, and an atmosphere of terror spread in the convoy.

After being bitten by a dog, Madam Lu has been in a semi-comatose state. The village was too remote, so several doctors were called in to see her. The doctors were so scared that they waved their hands and only prescribed a few life-saving and fever-reducing medicines before running away.

Everyone said that the day when Nanny Lu had the accident was the seventh day after the death of the late lady. The late lady's soul had not yet left, but Nanny Lu started to speak nonsense, so the late lady's soul attached itself to the yellow dog and almost bit her to death.

With the last breath left in her body, it seemed she wouldn't be able to reach the capital.

Hearing the gradually weakening moans of Madam Lu, the maids who followed were all frightened.

They always felt that the ghost of the late lady was always following them around, so scared that they dared not walk alone. When they saw Shen Li, they did not dare to act rashly. They bowed politely and spoke in a gentle voice, fearing that they would be the next one to be punished.

On the 27th day after her mother's death, as night fell, Shen Li walked alone to the river to burn paper money for her mother.

Banxia came over and whispered, "Miss, Madam Lu is dying."

Shen Li remained silent. Banxia said excitedly, "Our Da Huang is really proud of this. I feel so relieved when I think of the scene where he bit Madam Lu. Now those dogs won't dare to bully you anymore. They all secretly say that the late Madam is protecting you."

After the paper money was burned, Shen Li clapped her hands and stood up. Banxia put the cloak she brought on her, and the master and servant walked towards the convoy.

She left Huang Gou and Brother Dayong on the farm. Brother Dayong was the wet nurse's son. After the matters in the capital were settled, Shen Li would come back, so she had to leave her own people here.

......

Ahead was the town where we would rest tonight. As we walked, the team stopped.

Suppressed sobbing could be heard from inside. Seeing that Nanny Lu was only breathing heavily, Madam Li, who was sent by the second wife, Madam Zhao, panicked and did not dare to make a decision herself. She came to Zi Su to ask Shen Li for help in asking how to deal with Nanny Lu's funeral.

Zi Su listened to her with a smile and said calmly, "There's no need to ask the young lady about this. Madam Lu was sent by the old lady and she has never taken the young lady seriously. You can handle her affairs yourselves. Whether you throw her away here or send her back to the capital with the carriage, it has nothing to do with the young lady. But if she is sent back with the carriage, please put her body on your carriage, away from the young lady's carriage, so as not to smoke us."

Mother Li was stunned.

I always thought that the most difficult person around the young lady was Banxia, ​​who would hit people at every turn. I didn't expect that the smiling Zisu in front of me could kill people without shedding blood with a soft knife.

When the people sent by the Shen family saw Mother Li coming back dejected, they surrounded her and asked what to do with her.

When Mother Li told everyone what Zi Su said, everyone was shocked.

The journey back to Beijing was still more than ten days away, and no one was willing to give up a carriage to carry Madam Lu's body. Even Madam Li wanted to buy a carriage specifically for the task, but no one was willing to drive it.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and no one can stand that smell.

After some debate, they finally decided to buy a thin coffin in the town and bury it near the mass grave so that Nanny Lu's son could find it later.

Nanny Lu got what she asked for, and the curses she had said against Shen Li's mother came true on her.

Too evil.

Everyone became more and more afraid to get close to Shen Li.

The next day, the spring breeze was gentle, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and there was a sweet scent in the air.

Shen Li lay leisurely in the carriage, taking a bite of snack and drinking a sip of tea. The sound of horse hooves could be heard in her ears, and the carriage was rocking gently, making her sleepy.

Suddenly, in a daze, an inexplicable breath came into the car, and Shen Li suddenly opened his eyes.

It smells like blood.

Shen Li turned over and sat up.

I opened the curtains and looked around; the smell of blood was even stronger.

There had just been a fight here.

Her professional acumen made her extremely alert.

Is it an accident?

Or was it done by someone from the Shen Mansion?

I heard that the Shen family took her back to Beijing because they were forced by her uncle.

My mother is obviously an only child, so where did her uncle come from?

It just so happened that this uncle was a general who had just returned from a victorious battle and was looking for his sister who had been lost many years ago. Even the emperor was alarmed by this matter.

After much searching, she discovered that the general's sister might be her mother, who had been insane for ten years. Coincidentally, the news of her mother's death reached the Shen residence, and the Shen residence had no choice but to take the opportunity to host the funeral and bring her back to the capital so that the general could confirm her identity.

If my mother is really the general's sister...

Everyone in the Shen family was terrified!

Naturally, some people don't want her to go back safely, and they hope something happens on the way.

So for such a long journey, the Shen family didn't even send guards.

Now that the maids sent here have failed to torture her, there's no guarantee they won't send a letter via carrier pigeon, asking the Shen family to make new arrangements.

......

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Zi Su looked at Shen Li strangely. She was lying down peacefully, so why did she suddenly get up?

Shen Li lowered the curtain.

"Stop the car and go down to relieve yourself."

If she doesn't get things straightened out, she still has half a month to go before returning to Beijing, and she doesn't want to sleep with her eyes open every day.

Shen Li got off the carriage and looked around. The smell of blood came from the forest on the left.

"You guys wait here, I'm going to the bathroom." Shen Li said.

When Banxia heard this, she grabbed the stick on the shaft of the cart and said casually, "I'll go with you, young lady."

Shen Li waved her hand and said, "No need. I don't like people being next to me when I use the toilet. If anyone wants to go to the toilet, go to the other side, not on my side."

No one dared to say no.

The people in the Shen Mansion were afraid of the late Madam's spirit, while Zisu and Banxia knew Shen Li's temper.

The girl became decisive after being pulled out of the water. Although she was a stranger, they liked her.

Someone immediately went to the other side. Shen Li lifted her skirt and walked towards the woods on the left.

Banxia stood by the road, waving a wooden stick and said to Shen Li: "I am here, Miss, if you need anything, please call me, I will be there soon."

Shen Li waved her hand, turned around, and disappeared into the woods.

Every once in a while, Banxia would call out, "Girl, are you there?"

"exist."

Shen Li took a deep breath, jumped onto a tree, and looked down from among the leaves.

In the open space in the middle of the forest, there were seven or eight men in black lying, apparently dead.

A man in black was leaning against a tree nearby. There was a pool of blood under him. He was holding a sword in his hand, and his chest was heaving slightly.

After looking around and confirming that there was no danger, Shen Li leaped over to the man, squatted in front of him, and reached out to touch his neck.

brush.

Just as she stretched out her hand halfway, a sword was already at her neck, almost picking off her veil.

The man half-opened his eyes and looked at Shen Li coldly.

The sword tip flashed with cold light, and Shen Li could feel the stinging pain of the skin being cut. If it moved forward just a little bit more, Shen Li would be killed on the spot.

I didn't expect that a dying person would still be so alert and explosive.

Shen Li suddenly felt a sense of mutual understanding.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Shen Li withdrew his hand, tilted his head slightly, let the sword rest on his neck, and reached into his sleeve pocket to take something out.

Fortunately, I took out some pills from the space before leaving, just in case.

"Time is running out, I don't have time to explain to you," Shen Li said, "Take these medicines quickly. If you want to live, listen to me."

"Miss, are you there?"

Over there, Banxia's voice came again.

What a loyal and good girl.

"I'm here, don't worry." Shen Li was afraid that her voice was too far away and she couldn't hear it, so she replied to her through her Dantian.

The sword tip slowly left her skin, and Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

He handed over the pills in his hand and said, "Open your mouth."
