The night was dark, Yang Bai sat at the table, holding the white jade cup that had drunk all the tea in his hand, turning it over and over, as if he could see a flower in this cup.

Xiao Mengqing stood quietly next to him, finished those few words, and then said no more.

In the past few days, Yang Bai has come to Lingyuan when he has time, but he does not stay long.

He is not an indulgent person, he doesn't do that every time he comes, and sometimes he depends on Xiao Mengqing's mood.

But whether he did it or not, he would leave in the middle of the night.

Xiao Mengqing wakes up every morning and is alone.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and when he heard the sound of "bang", Yang Bai put the cup in his hand on the table.

He looked at Xiao Mengqing with a pair of peach blossom eyes, still with that expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "That's all she said?"

Xiao Mengqing bowed, "Yes, after saying this, he left." ”

Yang Bai's slender and powerful fingers tapped on the table, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"

Xiao Mengqing lifted her skirt, took half a step back, and knelt down, "Qing'er is guilty, please punish the adult." ”

"Tell me about it. Yang Bai's voice was gentle, retracting the wooden light, still staring at the cup in front of him.

"Qing'er shouldn't go out of the house without permission, shouldn't go to the paper shop, and shouldn't have contact with Miss Duan. Qing'er is guilty and willing to be punished. ”

Yang Bai snorted, "I have never restricted you, and I have not allowed you to leave the mansion." Going to that shop is to sell five or seven things for your father, which is not an offense. As for the contact with that big girl, she came to find you, and you are not wrong. How shall I punish you?"

Although he said this, Xiao Mengqing still felt Yang Bai's anger.

In fact, Yang Bai was not angry, he was just curious.

Why did the things in his previous life, this big girl know.

Could it be that she is also the one who lives again?

She is not only from Duanfu, but Xiao Mengqing and Duan Nanjie are old acquaintances. Then she asked Xiao Mengqing to say these words, was it instructed by Duan Nanjie?

However, looking for Xiao Mengqing, Duan Nanjie didn't know that she was still alive.

In this way, this big girl really has other plans.

However, what is she planning for as a girl's family?

And she said she knew what she was up to, and knew it was a crime of a thousand cuts. Yang Bai couldn't help but sneer again, did she really want to help herself? Just because she was a merchant woman, what could she do to help herself?

Yang Bai's ridicule was about too obvious, and Xiao Mengqing couldn't help but sweat for Nanxing when he saw it.

According to what she knows about Yang Bai these days, this is by no means a man who will be easily bewitched by others.

"Do you think this is ridiculous?" asked Xiao Mengqing.

Yang Bai came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Mengqing who was kneeling on the ground, "Do you think it's very reliable?"

Xiao Mengqing shook her head, "Qing'er thinks that it is not easy for this woman to say these words, and if it were me, I would never dare to say this." It's a bit of a skill, not necessarily ridiculous. ”

Yang Bai sighed slightly, "You get up, I won't punish you." ”

Xiao Mengqing got up slowly, thought about it, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you curious, why did this girl suddenly come to me and deliver a message to the adult?"

The cup in his hand was almost pinched out by Yang Bai's fingerprints, and he thought about it and said, "Of course I'm curious." ”

"Qing'er heard that last night, the Zhenguo Mansion was besieged by Jin Wuwei. ”

Xiao Mengqing said lightly, and with a "snap", the white jade cup in Yang Bai's hand was finally crushed.

Xiao Mengqing, who was taken aback, immediately fell silent and stopped speaking.

Yang Bai slowly moved his gaze to Xiao Mengqing's face, "Do you still know about the siege of the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Xiao Mengqing's eyes shook, and she said, "What Xiaoli told me today, there was a lot of movement last night, and everyone in Kyoto knew about it." ”

"Coincidentally, this morning, this big girl came to you to pass a message to me. Yang Bai said with a smile, "It can be seen that Zhenguo Gong is really for the people." ”

Xiao Mengqing couldn't laugh, "The Duke of Zhenguo is a horse, and the entire Zhenguo Mansion is now alone, which is also pitiful." The Three Realms were reshaped, and the Duke of Zhenguo handed over the military power, Mingzhe protected himself, and stayed away from the imperial court, but in the end he ended up like this, which is really lamentable. ”

Yang Bai said: "Now that the three divisions have not yet been tried, and they have not even filed a case, how do you know what the fate will be?"

Xiao Mengqing hooked the corners of her lips and showed a wry smile, "Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, my father Xiao Deyun is not a victim of Chaodou." Don't Lord Yang know whether the evidence in my father's dereliction of duty case is true? The princelings are now in dire straits, and they are almost forced to retreat by the five or six princes. If Zhenguo Gong falls again, the princelings are afraid that they will lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. ”

Yang Bai was surprised: "What timing?"

Xiao Mengqing looked out the window and then at Yang Bai, "Of course, it is the time for Your Majesty to pass away and the dynasty to change." ”

Yang Bai sneered, "This is a good time for the crown prince, why not a good time for the fifth or sixth prince?"

Xiao Mengqing clenched the handkerchief in her hand and shook her head, "So Miss Duan came to me to hand over the message to the adults, presumably just to take advantage of this opportunity to do something." ”

Yang Bai raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Mengqing meaningfully, "Have you ever said these words to others?"

"No, I didn't. Even in the past in Xiao Mansion, I rarely told my father about this. He didn't like me to talk about politics in vain, saying that the girl's family should find a good family, and it is the right way to teach a husband and children. ”

Yang Bai stretched out his hand and brushed the fragments of the white jade teacup on the table, "What your father said makes sense, these words are not allowed to be said to others." Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and now we are always looking for faults, the princelings are difficult, and I am afraid that there will be chaos for a period of time in the future, so you should go out less. ”

"Yes. ”

"Today's events should not have happened, and I will take care of them. ”

Xiao Mengqing lowered her eyes, "Yes." ”

Yang Bai stood up, put one hand on Xiao Mengqing's shoulder, looked at her and said softly: "I don't stop you from burning paper sacrifices for anyone, just a little, no matter where you go, you must pay attention to safety." I'll arrange for a few shadow guards to follow you, and you have to be careful when you go out on your own. ”

Xiao Mengqing slowly raised his head, like this, Yang Bai was still the first time.

She has always felt that Yang Bai is a cold person, and she doesn't take herself to heart, but as he said, she looks at herself very well, and he has some secrets that he can't tell to the outside world, so she can only maintain such a relationship with herself in secret.

Xiao Mengqing suddenly had an illusion at this moment, Yang Bai seemed to have known him before, as if he had known him for many years.

Yang Bai narrowed his eyes and scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers, "What do you want, can't you agree?"

Xiao Mengqing came back to her senses and shook her head, "I'll be careful, and I won't go out in the future." ”

Yang Bai also wanted to explain that it was not to let her go out if she was not allowed to pay attention, but she felt that it was extremely cumbersome to explain, so she simply stopped mentioning it.

He took her wrist and walked inside, and Xiao Mengqing suddenly blushed.

Although he is very restrained every time these days, he is really unbearable in that regard, and he is a little worried at this time.

As soon as he entered the inner door, Yang Bai suddenly asked, "What did she say her name?"

Xiao Mengqing was stunned, "Who?"

"Miss Duan, what's her name?" Yang Bai asked.

Xiao Mengqing thought for a moment, "Duan...... South Star. ”
