The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

At the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, two horses galloped past, splashing a pool of mud.

Shen Qinglan and Shuwen quickly arrived at the road that was blocked after the landslide.

"Xu."

Shen Qinglan pulled the reins and stopped the horse. The cold rain hit her face, blurring her vision.

"Miss, the road is blocked, how can we get through?"

Shuwen looked at the blocked road ahead and asked in a deep voice.

Shen Qinglan looked around and saw a steep cliff on the side. If he could use a rope, he could climb up, but it was a bit dangerous.

Without saying anything, Shen Qinglan dismounted from his horse and pointed at the cliff.

"Go this way."

"It's too dangerous! No! Miss, you rushed here in such a hurry, what happened in Xiangshan Temple?"

Shuwen also got off the horse and listened to Shen Qinglan's words. He immediately frowned and seemed to disagree.

She didn't know why Shen Qinglan insisted on rushing here when she heard that there was a landslide at Xiangshan Temple and the road was blocked.

After all, this matter is not a big deal.

But since Shen Qinglan was coming, as a maid, she naturally wouldn't refuse!

But if Shen Qinglan wanted to take the risk now, Shuwen would never agree.

Shen Qinglan pondered for a moment. She actually had no evidence to prove that bandits attacked Xiangshan Temple, but everything was too coincidental, so she had to be cautious.

"Shu Wen, I'm not sure what happened in Xiangshan Temple, but I have to go up and take a look, otherwise I won't be able to rest easy!"

In fact, Shen Qinglan suspected that the banditry might not be real!

Where did these bandits come from in the suburbs of the capital, at the feet of the emperor?

No matter how arrogant they are, which bandit dares to jump in front of the emperor?

It just so happened that the banditry appeared at such a coincidence, and there was also the old Princess Zhan in Xiangshan Temple. All of this made Shen Qinglan think deeply!

She even suspected that this might be the second-hand preparation of the person behind the scenes who wanted to destroy the weapons last time!

The old War King had just passed away, and this news was probably hard for Huo Zhanting, who was far away in Lihe, to accept.

If something happened to Princess Zhan at this time, it would definitely be a blow to Huo Zhanting.

The battle of Lihe has now reached the critical moment to decide the outcome!

Whether it is the weapons transported from the capital or Huo Zhanting’s disturbed mood, any small detail may affect the battle situation!

If the battle of Lihe is lost, it will be a disaster for the entire Yong Dynasty and its people!

After all, once you cross the Li River, there will be a flat plain, and the troops of the Western Qi Kingdom will probably come all the way to attack us!

By then, blood will flow like a river and corpses will be everywhere...

That's what Shen Qinglan doesn't want to see!

Therefore, nothing must happen to the old princess!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan once again said to Shuwen: "I suspect there are spies from other countries pretending to be bandits and are in Xiangshan Temple!"

This sentence made Shu Wen's eyes widen immediately, his face became nervous, and he immediately asked:

"Miss, you can't just say things like that. You have no evidence!"

"That's why I want to go up and take a look!"

Shu Wen knew that Shen Qinglan would never joke about such a thing, so he was silent for a moment, nodded at Shen Qinglan and said:

"My young lady is so precious, let me go up and investigate."

"No, let's go together. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."

Shuwen couldn't persuade Shen Qinglan, so he nodded and agreed.

Shuwen is good at extending his hands and his lightness skills are also amazing, so it is not difficult for him to carry Shen Qinglan with him at this time.

In addition, there were many branches growing on the cliff that could be used as leverage. Shuwen pulled Shen Qinglan and the other person to climb for half an hour before they finally reached the top.

The two were extremely tired. The rain soaked their raincoats, making them feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Before the two of them had time to clean themselves up, Shen Qinglan had already smelled a strong smell of blood! He was immediately shocked, knowing that his guess might have come true!

Shuwen naturally also smelled the blood. The two looked at each other and hurriedly and cautiously moved towards Xiangshan Temple.

at the same time……

Inside the Xiangshan Temple, a group of burly men were laughing and chasing after the pilgrims who were trapped by the heavy rain!

Screams, pleas for mercy, and cries were heard everywhere!

The old princess, Xie Wanying and several other women were hiding behind the giant Buddha at the back of the main hall. There was a small dark room there, where the novice monks in the temple hid them before the bandits came!

It’s a pity that the young monk had just hidden them when he was chopped in half by the criminals!

The old Princess Zhan looked through the gap and saw blood all over the hall, and groups of men committing violence against a young girl. She was shocked, angry and afraid!

Xie Wanying was already trembling with fear, her body shaking uncontrollably. She held onto the old Princess Zhan's arm and cried softly,

"Xuan, Aunt Xuan, are we going to die? Woo woo woo, is there no one coming to save us?"

Upon hearing this, the other girls could not help but wailing in fear.

The old Princess Zhan had a heavy expression on her face at this moment. She turned around and whispered to the few people:

"Cry louder and you'll die!"

With just one sentence, all the girls dared not say a word. They covered their mouths and looked at the old Princess Zhan with tears in their eyes.

At this time, it seemed that only this elderly princess could give them some comfort.

Princess Lao Zhan felt very heavy in her heart.

She was not stupid. This was the land under the emperor's feet. How could a group of bandits suddenly come?

Moreover, she had also been to the battlefield, and could see that although these people seemed fierce and brutal, they were actually looking for someone in a very planned manner!

But now, all the servants around them have been killed, and they are just lucky to hide here...

However, they have been trapped for three days and cannot get out! How can they send a letter to the people down the mountain?

But if no one discovers the situation here, they will probably have no choice but to wait for death!

Taking a deep breath, Princess Lao Zhan remained calm and said:

"The guards are the loosest at night. If you want to escape, you have tonight! It's raining heavily outside now. If you can escape, the traces may be covered by the rain."

"With the rain covering us, maybe we can escape! Whether you guys go or not, I will definitely leave tonight! If we don't go down the mountain to find someone as soon as possible, no one will survive!"

Although Xie Wanying was afraid, she knew that what the old princess said was right, so she nodded quickly and said respectfully:

"Aunt Xuan, I will do whatever you say!"

The old princess glanced at Xie Wanying and nodded with satisfaction.

Even though Xie Wanying might have some little thoughts and had made some mistakes before, she was able to distinguish right from wrong in the end, which made it worthwhile for her to raise this child for so long.

The other girls were naturally terrified when they heard this, and couldn't help sobbing softly:

"We are not afraid of death, but, but if we are caught, then, then it would be worse than death..."

They have heard a lot of cruel and brutal sounds these days, and even though they wanted to escape at first, they were now so frightened that they dared not do anything else.

How important is a woman's reputation? If it is defiled, she will die and cannot even be buried in the ancestral tomb!

The old princess naturally knew that this was a very dangerous move and that very few people would be able to escape.

He sighed, took out a handful of green grass with yellow flowers from his arms, handed it to them and said:

"This is the Heartbreak Grass. I found it by accident when I was hiding that day, so I picked it. You guys take it. If anything unexpected happens... you can save yourself."

When the girls heard this, they all showed some fear.

Gelsemium elegans, if you eat it, your intestines will be broken!

But at this time, they had no other choice but to take the heartbreak grass with tears in their eyes and put it in their arms.
