Your Highness, you stole my heart

As night fell, An Er returned to the Princess Mansion again to report his orders. More than [-] guards in the entire Princess Mansion searched Qiu Shan, but there was still no one in sight.

An Er came back to beg for death. As a dark guard who was cultivated from a young age, there were more than 50 children who were trained in the Dark Guard Hall with her, and only 12 were able to leave their names in the Dark Guard Hall. .And she took second place.

She let people disappear from her eyes, and even apologizing with death can't bring it back.

Peng Ji's gloomy face made the huge study room even quieter. For the first time, she felt that she was so stupid.

She once sneered at those lewd people, and she was full of confidence, feeling that she would not be led by the nose by anyone.

But she always believed in that person easily, that person who everyone called Sha Shen.

She has been cautious and cautious in employing people since she came back from the northwest. Anyone who can get close to the princess mansion is the person she cultivated since she was a child.But she not only let Fa Yi enter the princess mansion, but also allowed her to be her son-in-law, and even said such ridiculous things as husband and wife.

She told herself forcefully that she accepted that person because she wanted to recruit her as a staff member and wanted her to be used by her.But during this period of time, she let go of her defenses again and again, and she could no longer deceive herself.

She, Peng Ji, was fascinated by beauty.

Whenever that person approaches her, there will always be a vague picture in her mind, she looks like she is playing in the water naked.

In this way, she will not think of people as enemies, and always feel that she is really her loyal minister.

Clearly aware of his special status, clearly aware that he should not easily trust someone who doesn't understand.But still believe it.

That method coaxed Ruo sister to cling to her obediently in a short period of time, so why didn't he believe her in a short period of time.

It was my own stupidity that made sister Ruo disappear.

Originally, he didn't get close to the child because of his heart knot, but now he put her in danger because of his negligence.

Pengji's regret filled her body.

Peng Ji supported the table and stood up, "I want to find it myself." After speaking, she walked outside.

With An Er leading the way, followed by the martial arts plum blossom, Peng Ji went up to Qiushan.

Qiushan is on the outskirts of Jingzhou, and it takes half an hour to ride a horse.The hills are not high, and because of the pleasant scenery and geographical location, it is often a good place for young masters and ladies to go outing. Therefore, the inside is not as scary as the deep mountains and old forests.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are many small roads trampled by people, and Peng Ji is even more skeptical that there will be tigers in such a densely populated place.

She was almost sure that it was Fayi who took Ruojie away.As for the purpose, she was completely puzzled.

The few people finally arrived at the place where the guards were, and a man who looked like a small leader came forward to report, but still no one was found.

An'er bowed and saluted, "Master, the son-in-law and the young lady disappeared here."

Peng Ji looked around, the trees were not lush, at least the road in the middle was clearly visible, and the leaves did not block the ground.

Such an environment cannot hide people at all.

"What about the tiger?"

"Master, that tiger ran in that direction." An Er pointed to his right side.

Peng Ji followed her hand to look in that direction, but found that it was neither the direction up the mountain nor the direction down the mountain, but clumps of dense grass and some waste branches, "Where does this lead?"

The little head of the guard just now hurried away and Li replied, "His Royal Highness, this is the top mountain leading to the rear, and there is no way."

Peng Ji stared in that direction and remained silent.Jueding Mountain is the only peak that connects the three major cities of Jingzhou, Liangzhou, and Huazhou. Because the mountain is steep and unattainable, no one has ever stepped into it easily.

According to legend, there are not only wild beasts, but also fierce ghosts in the mountain. There are fences at the foot of such a weird and terrifying mountain, and there are stone tablets warning people not to enter.

Peng Ji staggered a step back, the torches in the guards' hands made her face dark yellow, and Mei Hua standing behind hurriedly supported her, "Your Highness, why don't you let the slaves go in and check?"

"I'll go in person." Peng Ji straightened her body and walked towards the abandoned branches that were obviously smashed by something.

Immediately, all the guards in the forest knelt on the ground in unison, "Think twice, Your Highness."

Plum Blossom stepped forward to continue to support Peng Ji, using her hands slightly to keep Peng Ji from moving forward, "Your Highness, let alone how long it takes to get to the foot of the Juding Mountain, His Highness's body is no better than that of a martial artist. He is strong and healthy, so he might be exhausted before leaving this hill. Besides, the son-in-law and the young lady don’t necessarily have to go here.” Mei Hua thought for a while and said: “Your Highness, the son-in-law is the champion handpicked by His Majesty. It is a court lieutenant of the second rank, why would he want to be unfavorable to the young lady? The servants are afraid that His Highness thought it was the son-in-law who took the young lady away, but in fact it was the real thief who took the young lady and the son-in-law."

Peng Ji shook her head, "I have already made a conclusion in my mind. Falaojiu is clever and cunning, and can come and go freely in the palace of the princess with many guards. Even the dark second can't catch her. Who can catch her?" She." Peng Ji seemed to have figured something out, "But Mei Hua, you are right about one thing, she will always have a reason to take Ruo sister away, I should go back to my house now, and wait for her to come to ask for her." Stuff is."

If there is an effect, there must be a cause. Falaojiu's arrest of Ruo's sister must be to exchange her for something. Is it what she wants?

The two had agreed that when the great cause was accomplished, she would take the same thing she had.Could it be that she wanted to take away what she wanted to exchange with a dead heart at the beginning.

But what is that thing?

Peng Ji swears that she must investigate to find out who this person is, or who it belongs to.

Peng Ji returned to the Princess Mansion, ordered them to surround the main family of the Fafu, and ordered people to go to the Tingwei's Mansion to check, and when she found that the Tingwei's Mansion was empty, she fell ill. The hanging breath was sucked away.

Bamboo Fragrance was frying the medicine, and every time he fanned the stove, he would curse at Fa Yi.

And on the top of the Jueding Mountain, there is a small mountain hidden. This small mountain is hidden in the most secret place, and is called Huashan by the ladies.

Huashan is not like Jueding Mountain, which is uninhabited.

The mountain is full of playful laughter, the smoke is everywhere in the morning, and the bonfire is burning and drinking good wine at night.

Fayi was on this mountain at this time, she took sister Ruo up the mountain and joined the clan.

All members of the lady clan are women, and the family history has existed for hundreds of years, and Fayi is the patriarch of this lady clan.

Due to the geographical location of the clan, every clansman learns lightness kung fu from an early age, which is like a tiger's sharp claws.

This is the second night when Ruojie went up the mountain. The entire Huashan Mountain was lit with candles, and the clansmen sat around the campfire in large and small circles.

As for Fa Yi and Ruo Jie'er, these are several older clansmen, Elder Yin and Fa Siqi are also in this circle.

Sister Ruo looked at the people in this mountain area miraculously, they were talking and laughing while drinking, like the fairies in the book that a maid reads, looking for wine and having fun without any worries.

Some people even started to twist their bodies and dance, and a sister who was taller than him came to pull her along, but Dugu Yaruo hid in Fayi's arms and refused.

"Ruoer, don't be afraid, that sister wants to dance with Ruoer because she likes Ruoer." Fa Yi seemed to want to encourage her to make some friends.

Sister Ruo shook her head, "Father, aren't we going back home? Mother should blame us." She still remembered that her mother only allowed her to go out with her father for one day.

That day her father took her to find stones of many colors, and she really saw little monkeys and big flying birds, and she even flew in the sky with her father.

She knew that her mother would be angry, but she felt that she was willing to be punished after seeing so many fun things.

When this matter was mentioned, Fa Yi was also terrified.

Fa Yi asked Fa Siqi who was sitting on the other side: "Siqi, when you went to tell the princess after I went up the mountain, what did she react?"

Fa Siqi was stunned for a moment, it's too bad, because he was too excited to finally be able to return to Hui, he forgot.

Fa Yi saw the change in her expression, and tentatively said in disbelief: "You don't mean to tell me, forget about it."

Fa Siqi stood up at once, "Patriarch, I'm sorry, I really forgot, when I go down the mountain tomorrow, I will go to ask Princess Pengji personally." After she finished speaking, she quickly got up and ran to another circle.

The fast Fa Yi didn't even have time to let go of the villain in his arms to hit her, so he just yelled: "Fasi Qi."

But Fa Yi hugged Ruo'er tightly in his arms, "Ruo'er, today's ceremony is over, and I'll be back home tomorrow morning. Ruo'er must remember that when mother punished father, Father, please forgive me."

Fa Yi could already foresee Peng Ji's anger, she took away her daughter without saying a word, that person might be in a hurry.

In fact, she didn't want to, but if Peng Ji was told in advance that she would take Ruo'er away for three days, not to mention Peng Ji, then Nanny Lin would have to kill herself.

The patriarch is married, and the children must be included in the genealogy and recognize their ancestors. This has not changed for hundreds of years.

The patriarch of the lady clan must be the first child of the previous patriarch, so Ruojie must recognize her ancestors and return to the clan after her wedding, and dance with the clan members at the bonfire.

Even ordinary clansmen who have children with their lovers before they want to get married must recognize their ancestors and return to their clan when they get married.

"Ritual? Is dancing like this called a ceremony?" Sister Ruo asked with her eyes open.

Fayi hugged Ruojieer and sat on his lap, "It was the great-grandmother who wrote Ruojieer's name on the genealogy just now, and that was a ceremony, which means Ruojieer is my child." .”

In fact, there are many more ceremonies, which are completed by the elders of the clan, but if the sister is still young, she can't explain it clearly.

Dugu Yaruo couldn't understand these things, but she remembered that old nanny, whom her father called her great-grandmother, was sitting on the right side of her right now.

If she remembers correctly, her mother never said she had a great-grandmother.

So in the end do you want to believe in your father or your mother?

When Dugu Yaruo, who was only four years old, went to Huashan Mountain for the first time, she was very troubled.
