His tone was soft and natural, as if to say that the weather was very good today......

When Duanmu Huanxi heard this, he looked at Lou Yueqing in surprise, obviously surprised by Lou Yueqing's words, after all, this sentence seems to be light, but in fact, the things it contains are extremely heavy.

Frowning, Duanmu Huxi asked softly, "Worry-free...... Do you want the country of Liguo?"

Lou Yueqing was stunned, and the hand under the cuffs tightened slightly.

but he did not answer.

Looking at the world outside the city wall, Duanmu Xixi tightened his eyebrows, and said slowly, "Now the government of Liguo is chaotic, in just ten years, the whole country has fallen to this, Xiao Zhenglin is mediocre, Liguo has long since lost the situation of ten years ago, and even the famine in the first two years, there was a scene of starvation all over the wilderness, it is really embarrassing, if the king of Qi really succeeds to the throne, it will be ......hell on earth."

Ten years ago, Liguo was rich and strong, and it was the strongest among the four countries, and it was precisely because of this that Chu was defeated, and Chu had no choice but to send the seventh prince Rong Zhi as a proton, but now?

After Rong Zhi's hard work, the country and the people are safe, although the means are terrifying, it is undeniable that since Rong Zhi's regency, the Chu State has been declining for more than 20 years, who dares to underestimate it now?

On the contrary, the country of Li, which had been prosperous for decades, thought that the king of Runan would make the country stronger after he ascended the throne, but he did not expect that it would be such a situation.

The eldest prince King Qi was born to Queen Tang, and his temperament was with Queen Tang, who looked wise and gentle, polite and polite, but in fact he was ruthless by nature, vicious and unworthy of being a king, but now this situation seems to be if it continues like this, I am afraid that if King Qi wins the throne, it is only a matter of time before the country is broken.

Hearing this, a trace of hatred crossed Lou Yueqing's eyes, and she smiled coldly, "King Qi, don't even think about it!"

Even if she subverts the country of Liguo, she will never let Xiao Yihuai and the Tang family be satisfied, and she will definitely not let Liguo fall into their hands!

The corners of Duanmu Hanxi's mouth pulled slightly, but he didn't speak.

Staring closely in the direction of the north, after a short silence, Lou Yueqing suddenly said, "Master, I miss her......"

Duanmu Huanxi turned his head suddenly, looking at Lou Yueqing, "Worry-free ......" wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat and couldn't say it.

Lou Yueqing's eyes were slightly moist, she took a breath, and said quietly, "When I was young, I could often see her, they said that my appearance was carved out of the same mold as her, at that time, I always stared at her sleeping face, and I only felt that my father was lying to me......"

But now, when I grow up, every time I see my appearance in the mirror, I can't help but think of her, I want to go back to see her, I want to tell her in person, worry-free has never let her down, it's just ...... Never dared to ......"

Tears slid down his cheeks, dripping onto the back of his hand in front of him, and then slid to the ground.

She didn't care.

Duanmu Hanxi was extremely distressed, pulled her and said softly, "Okay, don't worry, don't think about it......"

Every time she was mentioned, Lou Yueqing would always cry.

For so many years, the number of times I saw Lou Yueqing crying was very rare, and the torture of cold poison was very bearable, but even if it was this kind of inhuman torture, she gritted her teeth and would not shed tears for it, but when she thought of her, she often couldn't help it.

Since childhood, Lou Yueqing has not been a crying person.

There are very few people who can make her cry.

Lou Yueqing ignored Duanmu Xi's words, and said with a wry smile, "I have always wondered if she would feel distressed if she had a spirit in the sky and saw me become like this, when she chose this name for me, did she ever think that her daughter, who wanted to live happily ever after, would become so cruel......

It became cruel that even she didn't recognize.

Yes, cruelty!

When she was young, she accidentally killed the imperial grandmother's rabbit, and everyone didn't think she was wrong, but she was always distressed......

When I killed someone for the first time, I had nightmares every day for a period of time, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I was woken up by nightmares......

A few years ago, countless people died in her hands......

But now, hundreds of lives, one order, there is no longer the pity and fear of childhood, and there is no longer fear, there is only indifference.

People's hearts will become harder and harder......

Hearing this, Duanmu Hanxi hurriedly turned Lou Yueqing's body, looked into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, that's enough, don't say it!"

Lou Yueqing's lips pursed slightly, looking at Duanmu Hanxi, her eyes trembling slightly.

"Master......"

Reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Lou Yueqing's eyes, Duanmu Hanxi said softly, "Okay, don't think about it anymore, your queen mother will understand......"

No matter how cruel or kind, as long as you live well, nothing matters......

When Lou Yueqing heard this, she lowered her eyes and was silent.

……

Walking down the city wall tower, he planned to go back to the city lord's mansion, the matter of driving Xuanying, when Duanmu Huanxi saw Xuanying, he was naturally curious about who Xuanying was, after all, the people around Lou Yueqing Duanmu Huanxi all knew each other, and there was an extra girl by his side, so he was naturally curious.

Lou Yueqing naturally couldn't say that it was Rong Zhi's person, so she said that Lou Yichen arranged the person who escorted her to Gusu City, and sure enough, Duanmu Hanxi had no doubts.

After all, it is normal for Lou Yichen to arrange someone for her.

Gusu City is very prosperous, the carriage is driving on the street, there is a noise and all kinds of shouting on the street, and people come and go on the street, it is very lively.

After going around for a while, I finally arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the distance, Nangong Yi looked at the solemn gate of the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, the person who was slowly getting off the carriage, his expression was unknown, he looked up at the plaque of the City Lord's Mansion, and pondered.

In the next few days, Lou Yueqing didn't go out much, almost stayed in the city lord's mansion, and went to Duanmu Huxi's courtyard every day to accompany her, otherwise she would stay in her own residence to practice calligraphy and painting.

Mo Li has already started to use clotted jade dew cream, but after just a few days, the scars have changed a little, and it looks more and more serious, but it is actually effective.

Lou Yueqing was naturally happy, and went to Mo Li's room several times a day to watch, and gave Mo Li three bottles of things to let her make herself, without feeling distressed at all.

……

Rong Zhi's secret Chu Jing was originally unknown to no one, but after not seeing anyone for two days in a row, everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent had just returned to Beijing for a day, and he was no longer in Beijing.

But no one knew where he went, even the county lord of Qingning didn't know where Rong Zhi went out of Beijing before dawn, Li Kui didn't know, and Mingshu followed him again.

Knowing that Rong Zhi was not in Beijing, Lou Yichen seemed a little strange, but he was not very surprised.

However, he immediately went to see Mrs. Ning Guo.

At this time, the Yuan family was in chaos.

Yuan Xin'er committed suicide by hanging a beam last night, and when she was found this morning, her body was already stiff.

During this period of time, Yuan Xin'er was naturally grounded and not given out, plus Yuan Xin'er has been crazy all day since that incident, no one thought that she would commit suicide.

Guo had been guarding her, and last night she went back to sleep in her yard because she was too tired, but she didn't expect that as soon as the morning dawned, her daughter ran out of breath, and she immediately found it difficult to accept it, and cried next to Yuan Xin'er's corpse.

Yuan Ji naturally had an extremely bad face, looking at his daughter who was put down and lying on the bed and had long lost his breath, and then looked at Guo Shi, who was crying as if he was about to get angry, after all, he couldn't bear it.

said lightly to the maidservant beside him, "Help the lady back to her room!"

When the two maidservants heard this, they immediately stepped forward to help Guo up, but Guo immediately broke away from the two mothers, lay next to Yuan Xin'er's corpse, and said hysterically, "Don't touch me, I don't want to leave my Xin'er, Xin'er ......."

At this time, Guo's family, like a shrew rolling around, unkempt and haggard, got up early in the morning before he could make up, he heard the news of Yuan Xin'er's death, his face suddenly aged ten years, and his sideburns turned white.

The remorse in her heart is known only to her.

She just went back to sleep, but she didn't expect her daughter, who was crazy during this time, to commit suicide......

In this way, how can you not regret it?

The two maids looked helplessly and helplessly at a loss.

Yuan Ji's face sank, but there was nothing he could do, Yuan Xin'er's death, he naturally couldn't be indifferent, how to say that it was also his daughter, although he didn't care about it, but it was also his blood, how not to regret it?

Sighing helplessly, Yuan Ji could only let Guo do this.

In the end, it is also his wife and daughter......

Yuan Jing'er, who was standing on the side and watching this scene coldly, turned her head to look at Yuan Ji, and saw the pity in his eyes, Yuan Jing'er's eyes were slightly gloomy......

Glancing at the corpse on the bed and the tearful man beside the bed, Yuan Jing'er didn't linger any longer.

However, as soon as she walked out of Yuan Xin'er's courtyard, she saw a woman in Tsing Yi walking slowly and leaning over slightly in front of her.

Yuan Jing'er frowned.

The woman in Tsing Yi said softly, "Miss, Madame asked you to go to Xueling Courtyard to see her immediately!"

Hearing this, Yuan Jing'er's face moved slightly, bowed slightly, and followed the woman in Tsing Yi to Xueling Courtyard.

Xueling Courtyard is the most elegant courtyard in the Yuan Mansion, although it is not as gorgeous as Mrs. Yan's, but it is much more beautiful than Mrs. Yan's.

Everyone in the house knows that Xueling Courtyard is where Xiangye's favorite Aunt Cen lives, speaking of this aunt, she is not coquettish and willful, let alone charming and charming, nor has she ever been pampered and arrogant, she never comes out in her own yard, anyway, I have never heard of her pampered and arrogant.

Everyone knows that this Aunt Cen is the heart and soul of Xiang Ye, and the courtyard where she lives is in addition to the fourth lady, that is, Xiang Ye himself can come and go at will, otherwise, even if it is a lady, she can't go in without permission, let alone the people in the house, and all the regulations of Aunt Cen are personally managed by Xiang Ye, and Mrs. can't control it.

No one has ever seen this Aunt Cen come out, but almost except for the fact that Xiang Ye will be there with his wife when necessary, or have government affairs, the rest of the nights are spent in Xueling Courtyard, and everyone in the house is curious, who is this Aunt Cen, and she is so favored.

During this time, Xiangye let Aunt Cen be in charge of the house, but he didn't expect to become the fourth lady in charge in the end, so it makes people even more curious, what does this Aunt Cen think.

Yuan Jing'er walked to the door of Xueling Courtyard, and her personal maid couldn't follow in, only she walked in slowly.

Xueling Courtyard is very quiet, the elegant courtyard is planted with a lot of rare and exotic grasses, walk through the two corridors, and see a woman in purple sitting there with her back to her in the pavilion not far away, with her head down, not knowing what she is doing.

Beside her stood a young woman also dressed in green clothes, who was also her maid.

Yuan Jing'er walked over slowly.

Standing behind her, he slowly bent his knees, "Mother!"

The tone was very respectful.

Who knows, as soon as her voice came out, the woman in front of her who was facing away from him said lightly, "Kneel!"

Yuan Jing'er paused, and then slowly knelt down, not thinking about why she knelt down at all.

The woman turned slowly and looked down at her as she knelt on the ground.

A woman has a good face and is glamorous, but that's it.

Looking at the age of his early thirties, his eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Yuan Jing'er, but he looks a little more beautiful than Yuan Jing'er, and his body exudes a sense of indifference.

A black hair is very simple to pull up, a hairpin is fixed, hanging down behind him, there is no trace of mess.

Looking at Yuan Jing'er, her eyes were still indifferent.

"I told you, don't worry about those people, it seems that you are taking my words as a deaf ear?"

Hearing this, Yuan Jing'er looked up at her mother and said, "Mother, I ...... it."

Cen Xue didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said coldly, "Do you know what the consequences will be if your father knows about this?"

Yuan Jing'er was stunned, and then bit her lip, she knew......

's father spoils her, but because she has been like her mother for so many years, she has never maliciously sued, let alone targeted people in the main room, and because of her mother, but if she played a role in Yuan Xin'er's matter this time and her father knew it, it would be self-defeating.

Stopping the daughter kneeling in front of her, Cen Xue said coldly, "No matter how Yuan Xin'er dies, it shouldn't go through your hands, this matter is over, if you dare to mess around again, your father will know, I won't care about you!"

Hearing this, Yuan Jing'er's face changed, and she immediately pulled Cen Xue's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, I know it's wrong, and I won't mess around again in the future!"

If her mother didn't care about her, wouldn't it ......

Seeing that Yuan Jing'er knew her mistake, Cen Xue said lightly, "Get up!"

After speaking, he pulled out his sleeve, turned around, and continued with what he had just done.

Holding a book and looking at it quietly.

Yuan Jing'er slowly stood up with the support of the maid in Tsing Yi.

Cen Xue said lightly, "Sit down!"

Yuan Jing'er sat down, she was already used to her mother's coldness, so she didn't feel strange.

Picking up a folded piece of paper from his side and handing it to Yuan Jing'er, Cen Xue said lightly, "Your eldest brother's letter, take a look!"

Hearing this, Yuan Jing'er's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly took it.

When she opened it, her joy was palpable.

Looking at Cen Xue, Yuan Jing'er asked with a smile, "Mother, what the eldest brother said is true?"

"Hmm!" was just a mmmmm, nothing superfluous.

Yuan Jing'er said, "Great, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a few days......"

Raising his eyes to look at her, there was no fluctuation in her joy, Cen Xue said, "Remember my words, don't meddle in the affairs over there in the future, although your father will not be suspicious of Yuan Xin'er's death this time, but you can't take it lightly, even if Yuan Xin'er is not liked by him, she is also his daughter, it is not your turn to decide whether you live or die, don't be smart!"

For so many years, she knows the character of Yuanji best.

Therefore, because he understands, he knows what to do to keep his heart, he has always disliked people who pretend to be smart, and he doesn't like jealous women, but Guo has both of them, so he is bored, and if you want to keep his heart, you have to learn to calm down.

Yuan Jing'er bowed, "I know!"

Seeing that Yuan Jing'er had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, Cen Xuecai's face was a little pale, but her tone was still light, and she didn't see joy, "Well, it's good to know, now that the Guo family has killed themselves, you don't have to be in a hurry, it should be your thing, and no one can take it away, understand?"

Yuan Jing'er pursed her lips and was silent.

Yes, now Guo's is like this, although her father still has affection for her, it doesn't help, if it weren't for the queen in the palace, I'm afraid that after the last Yuan Xin'er's incident, she would have divorced her wife, and now that Yuan Xin'er is dead, Guo must have counted these accounts on his father's head, after all, it was his father who ordered Yuan Xin'er to be placed under house arrest......

The mother's empathy touched the father the most, he had wronged his mother for more than 20 years, and now, it was time to make amends.

Looking at her daughter, Cen Xue's face did not move, but said lightly, "I know that you are unwilling, and your mother is not reconciled, but what can you do?"

No matter how unwilling you are, you can only endure it.

The mother's empathy touched the father the most, he had wronged his mother for more than 20 years, and now, it was time to make amends.

Looking at her daughter, Cen Xue's face did not move, but said lightly, "I know that you are unwilling, and your mother is not reconciled, but what can you do?"
