The Four Concubines

The ministers of the Ministry of Rituals counted a grand wedding day for the emperor and empress, which is said to be the best day, and then as soon as the decision was made, the whole country began to prepare for the wedding. The preparations outside were in full swing, and the palace people in the palace were even more busy. The foot hits the back of the head, the big day is too close, and the time left for them to prepare is only about a month.

So from the day after the announcement of the establishment, Yun Xiao was free-range.

The palace people started to work before dawn, and the imperial city was brightly lit up in the middle of the night for the empress' wedding, and there were no servants to fight wits with her, so who would have the time to control her going out of the palace?

How could Yun Xiao waste this great opportunity, she would go out for a stroll when she woke up, and come back after a stroll in the evening.

There is almost no difference between the work and rest and the retired uncle who walks the bird.

During this period of time, Yun Xiao took the capital of the country for a long time, and every time she passed Yingchun Building, Yun Xiao would go in and take a look around. She wanted to see Sun Jing again. After she went back that day, the more she thought about it. The more I feel that Sun Jing is a person of great wisdom, there are several ministers surnamed Sun in the court, so it is not easy for her to stop people directly and ask if your family has a daughter named Sun Jing.

In desperation, I had no choice but to go to the Yingchun Tower every day to try my luck, or maybe she was unlucky, and didn't meet Sun Jing for a week, but I asked the servants in the Yingchun Tower, and they said that a beautiful girl came to drink every day these days Tea.

It's a shame that she didn't meet her.

Yun Xiao was walking on the main road, looking at her gray head, wondering if it would rain, the day of her wedding was getting closer and closer, the whole country seemed to be infected by this happy event, bright red decorations could be seen everywhere.

As usual, he entered the Yingchun Building. Yunxiao made preparations for permanent residence today, and he must wait until Sun Jing.

Maybe it was extremely peaceful, Yun Xiao saw a familiar figure appearing at the door before the stool warmed up today, Sun Jing hurried into the door with the maid, and walked in quickly.

It's just that before he entered the inner gate, he was surrounded by several men who followed closely behind him. Yun Xiao felt bad, so he got up and ran down.

Those men obviously had bad intentions, but the distance was too far, and the place was too noisy. Yun Xiao couldn't hear the noise over there, but when she went down to the first floor, she saw the woman being directly It was only after the hood was put into the sack that I realized that today's matter was really big.

Those few men looked familiar at first glance, and their movements were done in one go. They just walked away regardless of what they had set up, and they even chose small paths. Can't keep up.

There were so many people on the other side, Yun Xiao didn't dare to scare the snake, so he could only follow. These people obviously had a premeditated plan, and they followed the route without hesitation. In the end, they turned into an inconspicuous small courtyard.

Yun Xiao stood outside the wall worrying, the wall was half as high as her, and she didn't have light skills, so she couldn't get in at all.

"what!"

Yun Xiao was still thinking about how to get in, when suddenly a woman's shrill cry came from inside.

"what!!"

"Who are you!"

"..."

Yun Xiao heard it intermittently, but just listening to the intermittent content, he knew that there was nothing good in it, so he didn't care to think about it any more. Yun Xiao recalled the movements of using the wall to climb over the wall on TV, gritted his teeth and took a run-up. Another kick on the wall, using force to turn over the top of the wall.

Then it almost rolled and landed in the courtyard. The courtyard was quiet and unguarded. There was only one room in the small courtyard, and the captives must be inside.

This yard seems to be a miscellaneous yard, with hay for horses piled up at the gate, and a dry kiln burning on the other side. Yunxiao looked at the kiln and got an idea, picked up the long sticks on the ground, and picked out one from the kiln. The completely carbonized firewood was picked all the way to the dry grass. In just one breath, the half-person-high dry grass burst into flames.

Yun Xiao squatted outside the door of the house with a long stick and shouted inside.

"The water is gone! The water is gone! Put out the fire! The dry kiln is on fire! It's burned to the courtyard!"

As expected, there was a panicked landing in the room, as well as panicked footsteps getting closer. The door opened suddenly, and a leg stepped on a cloud-climbing boot stretched out. Yunxiao had been waiting for a long time. Unceremoniously, swinging a long stick is a sweep.

"Ah!!!" There was a cry like a pig being slaughtered, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Yun Xiao didn't care what it was, and took advantage of this gap to get into the room.

The decoration inside is not bad, obviously it was specially prepared. When Yun Xiao entered the inner room, she saw a woman with a messy bun, holding her front with both hands, sitting tremblingly on the bed.

"Miss Sun!" Yun Xiao hurried forward.

The woman seemed to have heard another person's voice, and turned her head hastily, their eyes collided.

……

Yun Xiao looked at this strange face and was stunned, isn't it Sun Jing?Immediately frowned, recalled the journey just now, and confirmed that those people didn't have time to switch bags, so where did Sun Jing go...

"Tsk!" Yun Xiao patted her head violently, all the girls with maids in the world are Sun Jing, right?She got it wrong in the first place.

The woman on the bed frowned when the person who came saw her, and then patted her head again, looking a bit annoyed, as if she didn't want to save her, so she didn't care about other things, so she quickly said, "My lord , please save me."

Hearing the voice, Yun Xiao quickly regained consciousness, stretched out his hands to gather the woman's coat, and said seriously, "Follow me closely, I will take you out."

When Yun Xiao touched her coat, the woman's body trembled subconsciously. Obviously, she had a psychological shadow on her before. The woman ran out.

Before going out, Yun Xiao took a look at the man who fell on the ground, hehe, this meeting is really an acquaintance, Mr. Pang who fell on the ground seemed to be fainted by the pain of that stick, Yun Xiao was puzzled and kicked Kick him in the face.

He let out another "ouch" from the pain in his foot, and his body twitched uncontrollably.

Yun Xiao didn't have time to care about this scumbag's life and death. The dry grass was placed very close to the door. Fortunately, it was against the wind. Although the wooden door was also on fire, it was not completely burned. Kicking open the gate, there are already people outside who have seen the fire and came to put out the fire.

as well as……

Several men who were kidnapped in Yingchun Building before.

Yun Xiao's eyes met with theirs, but the other party still didn't understand what was going on, and rushed into the crowd to take Yun Xiao and them down.

Yun Xiao dragged the woman and ran away, the small road jumped up, the panting sound behind her became more and more serious, Yun Xiao also knew that the woman was able to persist in running so far, probably because she was frightened by what happened before, so she held her breath, ran to the present.

After confirming that there were no pursuers within the visual range, Yun Xiao finally stopped.

"Boom!" There was a thunder just as it stopped.

The rain that has been holding back for a day seems to be finally falling.

Yun Xiao panted, looked around, and carefully identified it, and found that this place was very close to the imperial city. Yun Xiao was hesitating, so he brought the woman into the imperial city first, to see if the group of people dared to Chase in.

"Ah!" The woman next to her exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiao looked around warily.

"I saw my house." The woman pointed forward excitedly.

Yun Xiao and the others stopped in a T-shaped alley. They could see the road and people, but it was hard to be discovered. The woman pointed at the end of this intersection. Yun Xiao looked in the direction of her finger, and could only see half of the gate. However, only the word "Mansion" and a stone lion can be seen on the plaque. Although only half of it can be seen, it is considered magnificent, and it is obviously not an ordinary mansion.

"Is it the one with the stone lion at the door?" Yun Xiao confirmed again and again.

The woman nodded affirmatively, "That's right, I won't admit that the stone lion is wrong. Young master, follow me, it's not safe here!"

With her back against the wall, Yun Xiao glanced at the direction they came from, listening to the approaching footsteps and conversation, she said softly, "It's too late."

There are still two small alleys away from the woman's house. They are now physically weak, and they will probably be stopped before they reach their destination.

Yun Xiao turned to look at the woman and said seriously, "You go home quickly, those people are chasing after you, I'll help you lure them away."

"No, no!" The woman replied firmly, "Young master has already saved me once, how can I let him go and run for my own life at this time, my father is an imperial court official, they dare not approach my house."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Yun Xiao didn't have time to say more, and pushed the woman towards her house, without turning her head, she said quickly, "There's something wrong with your maid." After speaking, she revealed herself and ran to another room. direction.

The woman was stunned, and saw that Yun Xiao had already run out, gritted her teeth, and ran towards her house. She is not stupid, since she is already like this, then she has to go home as soon as possible. Get someone to come out and help.

The men who came to chase did not stop at the T-junction, and ran directly after the white figure in front. Yun Xiao wanted to go back to the palace, but the alley was too long, and she didn't even have a chance to turn. She already felt Before she still had legs, the sound of her heart beating at high load was in her ears, like a death knell, reminding her of the countdown.

After two more alleys, Yun Xiao couldn't run any longer, leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, just in time for another thunderclap, followed by big raindrops falling down in an instant, and Yun Xiao was immediately drenched completely .

The wet clothes were stuck to Yun Xiao's body, and it was unclear whether it was more rain or more sweat. The sound of footsteps stepping in the stagnant water was especially obvious. Yun Xiao didn't even need to distinguish carefully, he could hear those The people caught up again.

Yun Xiao wanted to stand up, but her legs didn't work, and when her consciousness was about to blur, there was a sudden "squeak" beside her, and only then did Yun Xiao realize that there was a door next to her, but it looked like it should be a door. Which yard's back door.

The wooden door opened, Yun Xiao looked up and saw an umbrella covering her head, and Sun Jing's faint smile caught her eyes.

Yun Xiao didn't know how embarrassing her current "drowned chicken" look was in the eyes of others, but she was probably infected by Sun Jing's smile, and she unconsciously smiled along with it.

Finally standing up with the support of the wall, the sound of footsteps was approaching, Yun Xiao only hurriedly said, "Someone is chasing me."

Sun Jing was not in a hurry, holding an umbrella for Yun Xiao with one hand, and supporting her arm with the other, and pulled Yun Xiao into the door. After entering the door, the waiter who had been waiting for a long time quickly closed the door again.
