Purple fennel... is really dead!

Confirmed this matter. Wu Jie's heart was empty, and she didn't even know what expression she should use to face all this.

The crisis she had been thinking about was resolved inexplicably, as if it suddenly appeared above her head.

She gave a low laugh. This maid who had been with her for a long time was once her closest partner and the traitor who hurt her the most, and now she has passed away like this.

Looking back on my previous life, I didn't meet Prince Fu, the catastrophe.

Because in her previous life, she went to Beijing three months ago, and because of the unacceptable environment, she finally changed to take the water route and entered Beijing from Jinchuan Port. It did not pass through Jinwu City from the beginning to the end.

But in this life, everything is different. The time to go to Beijing is different, and the route is also different. Zifen replaced her, and then died unexpectedly...

A flash of light exploded in her mind, and Wu Jie suddenly realized something.

If Zifen died like this, then...doesn't she have to go for a kiss? !

Because the princess who married her is already dead! ! !

For a moment, Wu Jie felt that the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and her eyes suddenly became bright.

The princes and princesses of Dongyue died one after another because of Great Wei. Due to reason and reason, Great Wei will never sit back and watch Dongyue. The calamity of destroying the country and massacring the city should be gone, and Zihui has also completed the task of making a marriage, which is better than herself.

A dead imperial concubine will always be invincible in future court disputes!

I was still worrying about how to contact the missions and change my identity back, but now I don't have to worry about it. Haha, she can go back to Dongyue now. Father, mother, concubine, and younger sister... She can go back and have a family reunion. Although I can no longer use this identity in the future, and I may have to cover up my life, but those troubles are nothing compared to the unpredictable and unknown fate.

The days of dark clouds finally faded, and there was a glimmer of light in the sky.

Although the cold of winter is still there, that ray of sunshine is warm enough to fill her with hope.

"Hey, look at that silly girl, she seems to be crying."

"Oh, why are you crying? Are you homesick?"

"What a silly girl, just like our next-door neighbor's daughter, Sha Gu."

The cold wind sent the words of the maids behind her into her ears, and Wu Jie's brows twitched, feeling that after she came to Lu Pingting's house, her tolerance increased sharply.

But compared to the current good mood, this bit of verbal stimulation is nothing to worry about.

Lu Second Young Lady came out, frowned and reprimanded the servant girl, "What are you talking nonsense about? People must feel something when they cry. You don't want to comfort them, but you laugh at them like this. What's the point?"

The little girls dared not speak any more.

Lu Pingting then turned to Wu Jie and asked with a smile, "Silly girl, are you homesick?"

Wu Jie: "..."

You are an idiot, all of you are idiots! Lu Pingting's soft smile was full of black water in her eyes, it's a little bit of sense to call others casually.

Wu Jie's throat has recovered a lot, and she has no problem with her daily speech, but after the silence these days, it seems that everyone is used to her clumsy speech, and she doesn't bother to correct it.

Anyway, parting is imminent, and I don't have to change this impression. To Lu Pingting's question, she only said two words, "The wind is cold."

"It's really cold these days. But we'll be going ashore soon. We'll be warmer when we get ashore." Lu Pingting announced the good news with a smile.

The gate of Jinwu City was closed, and it was almost the New Year's Eve. Many ships chose to turn around and return, or take a longer route by detour. The Lu family had no choice. Mr. Lu just finished his term of office and returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Moreover, the Lu family's ship is too big, and other waterways are impassable, so they can only wait here.

It was inconvenient to live on the ship all the time, Master Lu and several other officials who went to Beijing simply booked a nearby inn.

The business and trade around Jinwu is developed. Although the city gate is closed, the nearby towns are extremely prosperous, with all kinds of buildings and halls.

On the second day, everyone packed their luggage and got off the boat excitedly.

The gloomy weather for many days finally turned into a vast expanse of snow and fell down. Wu Jie followed the Lu family's convoy and moved to the inn for a temporary stay.

Looking up at the falling snowflakes. This year's snow seems to be extraordinarily heavy. Thinking back to the previous life, at this time, I should have just been canonized as a noble concubine and lived in Minghua Palace. Because the New Year's Eve is approaching, there are daily singing and dancing in the magnificent palace.

On land, Wu Jie was also ready to leave.

In the past few days, she took out her own clothes. Although Zihui's clothes looked simple, it was made of gardenia flowers embroidered with silver thread, inlaid with dozens of pearls and a circle of shiny silver pieces. decorate.

The silver thread, silver pieces and beads on it were all taken off by Wu Jie. With this as a coil, when the time comes, she will directly change into men's clothes and return to Dongyue by boat.

Although she is a princess, she is not the kind of Eldest Young Lady who pampers her boudoir. The customs of East Vietnam are open and the people are rich. Prince De is also a person who likes to play. Wu Jie and Wu Wan often travel with their father in micro-services, and they have gone as far as the border. So have some understanding of the way of business. Although have never gone out alone, there is a first time for everything. As long as she can go home, Wu Jie is confident that she can overcome any difficulties.

It takes a lot of courage for a woman to walk alone, but now it is this ordinary face that gives her the most courage.

If she was still as beautiful as before, even if she changed into a man's clothes, Wu Jie would not dare to go on the road. After all, the world is sinister. Now the face is much safer.

Thinking about it carefully, I really should be grateful to Zifen, if she hadn't resorted to Li Daitao's stiff method, I really wouldn't have had the chance to get out of that vortex.

There is another important reason for rushing to leave. Jinwu City has been closed, and always feel that something is about to happen. Thinking back to Prince Fu's rebellion in the previous life, in this life because of the variable Zifen, maybe the rebellion will happen earlier.

It's better for me to leave earlier, if I get involved in the rebellion, I will almost die, and when I leave, I have to leave a note to the Lu family, reminding them to return to the evacuation as soon as possible, it can be regarded as repayment for their life-saving Yes.

Just as he was thinking about finding an excuse to leave, another unexpected piece of news came.

Hearing that Princess Jinning had been assassinated and died, Dongyue urgently dispatched a second wave of envoys to deal with the matter. And the leader of the envoy this time was Prince De who was in charge of contacting the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Father is going north to Jinwu City!

Hearing the news, Wu Jie was even more overjoyed. It is obviously safer and faster to find an opportunity to contact the father than to venture out alone.

Wu Jie stayed at Lu's house for the time being.

"Ju'er, you and Sha Gu went to the Bairui Building at the east end of the town to buy a box of colored ink today. Miss wants to paint today, but she ran out of several colors." Shan Fang ordered unceremoniously, since the last time After Lu Pingting called her once, the name Sha Gu seemed to be fixed.

This is really using her as a maid. Wu Jie was speechless, and went out with Ju'er.

Shan Fang had already arranged the carriage, and the two set off from the back door and quickly drove into the street.

Sitting in the car, the little girl Juer couldn't hold back her excitement.

"Today is New Year's Eve. It's the day when the married daughter-in-law returns to her natal home, and it's also the day when the engaged family walks around and gives gifts to each other."

No wonder there are so many people in the market! Wu Jie suddenly realized.

All the way to the north, praying lamps are hung in front of the door of each store. Because there are many merchants nearby, the lamps are mostly golden. The golden toads that send money and the ingots that are blessed are in various forms, reflecting the whole market as if it were daytime. .

From time to time, young men and women traveled side by side, and the defense of men and women in the Northern Wei Dynasty was not as strict as in the previous dynasty.

While the carriage was driving, in the alley where no one was paying attention, suddenly a dusty figure flashed from behind, and then followed the carriage.

But Wu Jie and Ju'er in the car were totally unaware of the coming danger.

In the inn, in the lobby of the main room where the Lu family stayed, Mrs. Yang, the wife of the family, was sitting on a pear wood chair, sipping a cup of tea, while asking the lady in charge: "Is that girl really going towards Bairui Tower?" Beautiful, but the cheekbones are slightly higher, naturally sharp.

The lady in charge reported back: "It's absolutely true, the servant saw Shan Fang send someone out, and only brought Ju'er to serve."

Yang groaned and put down the teacup. Don't blame her for being ruthless, that damn girl's mother died early, and she was already one of the five unmarried, but her vision was so high that she refused to even take the good marriage she offered. That being the case, don't blame her for being cruel.

When people are sold out, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, so they don't have to be an eyesore anymore.

The lady in charge looked at Mrs. Yang, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "But the master...if he finds out, I'm afraid he will be angry."

"What's there to be angry about? Did he abandon our son and daughter because of that girl? When the time comes to make up a name for elopement, it will naturally be covered up quietly." Yang snorted coldly. She has raised three sons and three daughters, six children, plus a few children of concubines, a dozen people are waiting to be fed.

"What's more, this time the master will go to Beijing to seek an official, and he also needs a large amount of money to manage."

It was that little girl who was ignorant and refused to hand over the dowry contract back then. Since she was unkind, she could only be unrighteous. Accustomed to the rich life, she must not fall into that barren life again.
