The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 5
Just after noon, Long Xilan was sitting under the sun in the West Garden of the General's Mansion, basking in the sun.

The warm sunlight shone on her fair face, reflecting a faint light.She picked up a stick on the ground, roughly drew a map of the general's mansion on the ground, and then marked the guards guarding each place with circles. After drawing, she couldn't help frowning slightly, just like Ji Jinjiang's layout , I am afraid that only ghosts can escape from this general's mansion!

"My young lady has been chosen as Concubine Xu!"

"Really?" On the other side of the courtyard wall, two servants sweeping snow were talking.

"Have you heard the rumor?"

"What rumor?"

The man replied cautiously: "This is not the first time Prince Xu has been engaged, this is already the third time!"

This word reached Long Xilan's ears, and she was also a little curious, how could Li Huai have already been engaged three times?
"Yes, the first time was with the daughter of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, and the second time was with the daughter of the Minister of War."

"Then why didn't you marry the lady from those two families?"

The man lowered his voice and said, "How to marry? After those two times, the people from the Wangfu Xiaping went, and the other lady died strangely!"

"Why are you chewing your tongue here and not going to work?" At this time, another reprimand came from the other side of the wall.

"Yes!" The two hurriedly turned and left!

Recognizing that it was Ji Jinjiang's voice, Long Xilan erased the drawing on the ground twice, sat back on the stone bench beside her, and her face returned to calm.

"Are you here?" Ji Jinjiang came over and stopped in front of her.

"Why, am I not even allowed to bask in the sun?"

"Of course it is possible. I came to you just to tell you that the person from the palace just now came!" After the other party finished speaking, his eyes fell on her indifferent face, wanting to see how she would react.

But she listened without even blinking.

This is not her business, in her view, she is just a prisoner imprisoned in the general's mansion!

"It doesn't matter who you were before, but now, with this face on your face, you are just the second lady of the general's mansion and the queen concubine of Xu Wang's mansion. You should have understood this earlier."

There has always been a rumor in the market that all women who have made an engagement with King Xu will die soon. Ji Jinjiang didn't believe it at first, but shortly after the emperor summoned General Ji alone to confirm the marriage, Ji Jinhua died soon. In the funeral home, and when he died, his personal guards were guarding outside the house, so Ji Jinhua died without anyone noticing, with no obvious injuries on his body.This marriage with King Xu is imperative, and now he only wants to ensure the safety of the bride.

Long Xilan glanced at Ji Jinjiang's face, and said contemptuously: "Your sister's bones are not cold, so you are eager to find another person to replace her. This big brother is really considerate!"

Ji Jinjiang's expression didn't change at all in response to this cynicism.

He just said: "There will be a lantern show tonight. The people from the palace just came to invite you. King Xu invited you to see the lanterns! I think you are not looking well these days, why don't you go?"

Long Xilan suddenly turned her face away, and said with an involuntary smile: "Go, why don't you go? Everyone in the palace has come to invite me, how can I refuse? Besides, since I have made up my mind to be the queen-to-be, I should know what kind of person my future husband is, right?"

Although she knew that Ji Jinjiang would definitely send someone to follow her, as long as she left the general's mansion, she must have a way to escape!
……

As the sun was setting and the lights were on, a carriage stopped steadily at the General's Mansion.

Soon, Long Xilan came out slowly accompanied by Qinglian.

Before leaving, Ji Jinjiang followed, holding a light white cloak with fur edges in his hand.

"Jinhua, it's cold at night, wear this." He didn't ask Qinglian to pick it up, but handed it to Long Xilan himself.

When he came to him, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "When you come back tonight, I will tell you where the other hairpin is!"

Long Xilan nodded: "Brother, go back!"

Then she walked slowly up the stairs to the parked carriage.

In the car, there was already a handsome man sitting in it. When the waiter opened the curtain for Long Xilan, he happened to meet Li Huai's clear and bright eyes.

She froze for a moment, and called softly, "My lord!"
