After all, it was getting late, and Tai Jingwan was worried that Jiang Jinyue would come looking for her.
However, she had just been walking around here for so long, but she didn't see either the old lady's family or Jiang Jinyue.
Thinking of this, Tai Jingwan also frowned. Why had Jiang Jinyue been gone for so long?
Or did Jiang Jinyue actually go to the back mountain?
I thought about how I and the old lady met the man in black in the back mountain.
Tai Jingwan's heart skipped a beat. Could Jiang Jinyue have had an accident?
Seeing Tai Jingwan suddenly standing up, the Queen Mother was also startled. What happened to this little girl?
"Xiaowan? What's wrong?" The Queen Mother looked at Tai Jingwan with concern and asked.
"Old lady, can you wait here for a while? I want to go to the back mountain to look for my sisters." Tai Jingwan looked at the temple where people were coming and going, and thought to herself that the old lady wouldn't be in any danger here. She would just ask the young monks in the temple to help look after her.
However, if I don’t go find Jiang Jinyue, I won’t be able to feel at ease.
...
...
Tai Jingwan didn't dare to think about what might happen to Jiang Jinyue here.
"Is that so?" The empress dowager was in a dilemma. If she said she wanted to go with the girl, the girl would definitely not agree. But if she wanted to let the girl go alone, the empress dowager was reluctant.
"Old lady, please wait here. I'll be back soon." After Tai Jingwan finished speaking, she walked to the little monk in the courtyard and said a few words. She also pointed to the empress dowager not far away and asked him to take good care of her.
He quickly ran to the back mountain.
Tai Hesong saw his daughter running towards the back mountain. He didn't know what happened and was afraid that she might get into an accident, so he followed her.
Wei Xiuyuan, who was hiding in the dark, was also worried that Tai Jingwan might encounter an accident, so he followed.
Jiang Jinyue watched Tai Jingwan go to the back mountain, and thought about how they had agreed to go to the back mountain. She wondered in her heart if Tai Jingwan was going to find her.
As soon as Tai Jingwan left, Eunuch Liu hurried over.
"Queen Mother, are you okay? I was so scared."
"I'm fine. Why didn't General Wei come?" the Queen Mother asked somewhat disappointedly.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, General Wei has been here. Seeing that you are fine, he left. Perhaps there is something important happening in the army." Eunuch Liu said quickly.
"Hmph, such a big thing happened to me, but that unfilial son didn't even come to show any concern for me." The Queen Mother said unhappily.
I feel so sorry. Miss Xiaowan is such a good girl. It seems that that bad boy Wei Xiuyuan is not so lucky.
"By the way, didn't I see Lord Tai coming just now? Where is he now?" The Queen Mother thought again. She had seen clearly just now that Tai Hesong was also there.
"Empress Dowager, you have sharp eyes. Lord Tai was here just now, but when he saw the girl who just accompanied you walking to the back mountain, he followed her. I guess he wanted to investigate the girl's true identity." Eunuch Liu said with a smile.
"That old Tai is just a suspicious person." The Queen Mother thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to investigate. She could thank the girl later.
"Empress Dowager, it's getting late. Shall we go back to the palace?" Eunuch Liu asked hurriedly.
"Wait a moment, I still want to say goodbye to that young friend in a friendly manner today." The Queen Mother had no intention of leaving. After all, she felt that Tai Jingwan had saved her, and she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye.
"But, Queen Mother, it's getting late. The Emperor must be getting anxious waiting in the palace," Eunuch Liu reminded carefully.
After all, today the Emperor and his concubines are here to welcome the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager doesn't return to the palace, the Emperor probably won't hold a banquet first.
"What's wrong with asking them to wait for a while? If Xiaowan wasn't here today, I would have lost my life. What they might see when they return might be my corpse." The Queen Mother said unhappily.
"The Empress Dowager is right." Seeing that he could not persuade the Empress Dowager, Eunuch Liu did not dare to persuade her anymore. After all, if she continued to persuade her stubbornly, the Empress Dowager would surely not be happy.
Tai Jingwan ran to the back mountain, and looking at the empty back mountain, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Jiang Jinyue!" Tai Jingwan shouted anxiously.
Unfortunately, no one responded to her.
"Jiang Jinyue!" Tai Jingwan wanted to go deeper into the peach forest again.
"What are you going to do?" Wei Xiuyuan stepped forward and grabbed Tai Jingwan.
Wei Xiuyuan didn't want to stop Tai Jingwan, but it was getting late. The peach forest on the mountain behind Gratitude Temple would be filled with fog at the hour of Mao. If Tai Jingwan went in, it would be difficult for her to find a way out.
"Why are you here?" Tai Jingwan was suddenly stopped by someone. It was a man who spoke, but she was shocked.
However, when he turned around and saw the familiar Wei Xiuyuan, he felt relieved.
"If it's not me, who does Miss Tai want? Your husband Gu Huaizhi?" Wei Xiuyuan was a little unhappy when facing Tai Jingwan's words.
"General Wei, thank you for saving us last time. You have been recuperating in the mansion these days and have not had the chance to come to your house to thank you for saving our lives." Tai Jingwan first bowed to Wei Xiuyuan before speaking slowly.
Wei Xiuyuan felt upset. Who wanted her thank-you gift?
"It's going to be foggy here soon, so you'd better not go in." Wei Xiuyuan didn't say anything else to Tai Jingwan, but quickly reminded her.
"No, I want to go in and find someone." Tai Jingwan didn't care whether there was fog or not when she thought that Jiang Jinyue might be in danger in there.
After all, they had agreed to meet here, but she was late and Jiang Jinyue had an accident here, so she couldn't forgive herself.
"There is no one here." Wei Xiuyuan glanced at the peach forest and said affirmatively.
"Impossible, Sister Jiang said she would meet me here." Tai Jingwan felt that Jiang Jinyue would definitely not lie to her.
"Are all the wives and concubines in the Marquis Xuanping's mansion so harmonious?" Wei Xiuyuan felt it was very strange for some reason.
Whose wife and concubine are so good?
"General Wei, although you are my savior, this is a family affair of our Xuanping Marquis Mansion." For some reason, Tai Jingwan didn't like Wei Xiuyuan's inquiring look, which made her feel a little guilty.
Why are she and Jiang Jinyue so harmonious?
Isn't it because they have no expectations of their own men?
Without a common goal, there is no need for them to become enemies.
However, she naturally would not tell this to Wei Xiuyuan.
"Sister!" When Jiang Jinyue saw Tai Jingwan walking towards her, she knew that Tai Jingwan was probably looking for her.
She became very worried when she thought about the fog that would form on the mountain behind Gratitude Temple at the hour of Mao.
After all, what if Tai Jingwan gets so anxious that she doesn’t bother to look at the warning sign at the entrance to the back mountain?
Tai Jingwan, who was originally very anxious, only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Jinyue's voice.
Tai Jingwan was about to respond to Jiang Jinyue's words when she saw her father behind her.
"Wan'er?" Tai Hesong looked at his daughter with a complicated expression.
