Just when Sikong Yan and Su Muyue mentioned Xia Dong, Xia Dong, who was dying after being tortured in the prison, already felt the passage of his life somewhat clearly.

Is that evil ghost coming to take the exchange?

Xia Dong looked at the dark cell, and suddenly laughed slowly, she must be able to avenge her brother.

Sikong Shengzhe, I made a deal with the evil spirits with my life, but please die without a corpse in the future!

In Xia Dong's dream, Su Muyue was the evil ghost who made a deal with her.

"Xia Dong, you must have gone and never returned from this trip, so do you still have to take risks?" At that time, Su Muyue turned into a black mist and appeared in front of Xia Dong in his dream.

Speaking of which, in the process of entering other people's dreams many times, Su Muyue slowly found that she seemed to be able to see some strange pictures.

For example, she is now looking at Xia Dong and finds that a scene slowly appears behind Xia Dong.

In that scene, Xia Dong was lying in a prison cell, covered in blood but smiling and dying.

What's going on?

"Who are you?" Without waiting for Su Muyue to think about it, she was pulled back to her senses by Xia Dong's questioning, even in her dream, Xia Dong was still very cautious.

"I am a demon. Su Muyue smiled and said, "A demon who likes to make deals with people." ”

"Can any wish come true?" Although Xia Dong was a little skeptical, he couldn't help but speak: "Anything can be done?"

"That's nature. Su Muyue said: "It's just that you need to exchange things for it." ”

"Exchange?" Xia Dong asked hesitantly, "What do you want?"

"When something happens to you, I'll come looking for you. This is the dream that Xia Dong had before he agreed to Sikong Shengzhe to kill Su Mubin.

And Xia Dong was not immediately tortured or interrogated after she was arrested, so when she dreamed of the black mist again, she couldn't help crying hoarsely: "You obviously know that I will kill my brother when I come here, why don't you stop me!"

She and Xu He have relied on each other since childhood, although they both worked hard for Sikong Shengzhe later, but what Xia Dong hopes for the most is that one day she and her brother can get rid of such a life.

She also regretted it once, if she hadn't met Sikong Shengzhe, maybe she and her brother would have died a long time ago.

It's actually good to be dead.

"Because you only have one life. Su Muyue said coldly: "Don't you understand very well in your heart, in fact, if you kill Xu He, you will naturally not survive, Sikong Shengzhe will not make any effort to solve his worries." ”

"The master can't do this to us!" Xia Zhi still held on to a glimmer of hope, even if Sikong Shengzhe didn't care about her life, but what about her brother?

My brother has done so many things for Sikong Shengzhe, doesn't Sikong Shengzhe miss the old love at all?

"Xu He is already a waste of chess. Su Muyue said lightly: "You think about it, if you do what I say, maybe I will help you kill Sikong Shengzhe." ”

Su Muyue felt that in fact, this was not a deception to Xia Dong, to put it bluntly, she would deal with Sikong Shengzhe sooner or later, and it was fair to make a deal like this.

"I did as you said, and you helped me kill Sikong Shengzhe. Xia Dong looked at the black mist and asked with some despair, "Then what are the conditions?"

"Your life. ”

Xia Dong only felt that the words that the black fog had said at the beginning gradually dissipated in her ears, and her life seemed to have come to an end.

The black fog asked her to identify Su Mubin, she originally thought it was strange, why didn't she identify Sikong Shengzhe at this time?

But then she figured out that in fact, the emperor would not let the prince be involved at all.

Sure enough, after she couldn't bear the torture and identified Su Mubin, the murder case was finally settled.

Su Mubin, Situ Hao and Xu He had a dispute over personal grievances, and Xu He accidentally killed Situ Hao and slandered Su Mubin.

And Su Mubin became friends with Situ Hao, and in order to avenge Situ Hao, he instructed Xia Dong to kill Xu Bin.

Nian Su Mubin has been blind and paralyzed, exempted from capital crimes, exiled to Linxian, and cannot return to Beijing for life.

Xia Dong let out a slight sneer from her mouth, and Xu He's figure seemed to slowly appear in front of her, she stretched out her hand towards her brother and slowly closed her eyes.

Sikong Shengzhe, I will watch you, and see what kind of fate you will end up with one day!

In the study, Su Muyue was still explaining to Sikong Yan what she had said to Xia Dong, and speaking of which, she also felt very guilty about Sikong Yan in this matter.

After all, she hadn't told Sikong Yan about the fact that she could fall asleep, so this should have deceived him to some extent, right?

But even so, Su Muyue didn't plan to tell her.

In her opinion, people still have to have some little secrets of their own, so that the relationship can become closer and closer.

"The case is basically closed. Sikong Yan didn't ask any further, and he also knew that it was difficult for Su Muyue to explain these things to him for a while, so he changed the topic and said: "The new Jing Zhaoyin is He Yufeng, the eldest son of the emperor. ”

"He Yufeng?" Su Muyue thought for a moment and asked, "Who is that?"

"Pingyang Hou. Sikong Yan said in a low mood: "It's the most famous idle marquis in the capital, and he has no other hobbies except horse racing on weekdays." ”

"Is it the person who accompanied you to the battlefield to save you from losing your left arm?" Su Muyue couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw Sikong Yan showing such emotions in front of her for the first time, and she blurted out subconsciously, not thinking at all how she should explain how she learned about such a thing when she was obviously not in the capital.

"Yes. Sikong Yan didn't seem to be surprised that Su Muyue knew about this, but just nodded and said: "After returning triumphantly, the emperor thanked the Marquis of Pingyang for saving my life and gave him the title of Marquis of Pingyang, but he was disabled and was not allowed to enter the court as an official, and since then the Marquis of Pingyang has only been given a title. ”

"Pingyang Hou must be a very powerful person, right?" Hearing the regret in Sikong Yan's tone, Su Muyue thought of the He family and He Yingshan, and couldn't help but ask with some empathy: "Then why did the emperor make an exception for him this time?"

Since people with disabilities can't enter the court as officials, how can He Yufeng make the emperor treat him differently, and no one even objects to him becoming Jing Zhaoyin?

"Because Pingyang Hou is a real neutral. Sikong Yan pinched his eyebrows, shook his head and said: "Yue'er, the royal strife is by no means as simple as you imagined, the reason why I didn't marry you immediately into the palace is that I also have concerns in this regard, I hope I can reduce these disputes a little, so that you won't have too hard to marry me." ”

This time, the emperor was indeed very angry.

Because he trusts Xu He, probably because Xu He doesn't seem to be biased towards any prince.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Xu He turned out to be Sikong Shengzhe's person.

This is very intolerable for the emperor.

Therefore, he still took advantage of Sikong Shengzhe's public divorce and the loss of the county lord's face to order him to think about it behind closed doors for a month and stop issuing silver for three months.

But because of this, he selected many candidates among the civil and military officials, but he still couldn't decide.

In the end, Sikong Yan recommended the Marquis of Pingyang, and although the emperor hesitated slightly, he agreed on the spot.

The Marquis of Pingyang has the grace to save Sikong Yan's life, so even if the Marquis of Pingyang is friendly with Sikong Yan in private, it is better than being involved in the battle of the prince.

This is royal.

"Brother Yan, you don't have to worry about me. Su Muyue walked up to Sikong Yan, hugged him with some distress, leaned her head on his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and said seriously: "As long as I am with Brother Yan, no matter what happens, I can deal with it." ”

Brother Yan, don't worry, I will work hard to grow up and grow into the person who can protect you with open arms even if you are tired.

"Thank you, girl. As if hearing what Su Muyue was thinking, Sikong Yan stretched out his hand to gently stroke her hair, and said softly: "I am very glad that I chose a good princess." ”

"Of course!" Su Muyue said proudly: "Brother Yan, you can't find such a beautiful and smart princess as me even if you look at the entire Yanyan Country!"

"Yes, my little Yue'er is the most beautiful person in the world. Sikong Yan heard Su Muyue boast like this, but nodded in agreement, and said softly: "That's why I hope to put all the beauty in this world in front of you." ”

"Brother Yan, what are you talking about?" Because of her boasting, Su Muyue laughed for a long time, so she didn't hear the whisper that was similar to murmuring behind Sikong Yan.

"It's okay, don't you want to know what Queen Xu did at the beginning?" Sikong Yan patted Su Muyue's shoulder and said: "At the beginning, Queen Xu's son was still alive, so Queen Xu naturally hoped that his son would be the prince, she gave the blood jade to the prince, saying that she would give you to him as a side concubine, but the prince didn't take it to heart at that time, because he knew that the emperor would not agree to this matter. ”

"Then why are there two pieces of blood jade, and they are exactly the same?" Su Muyue looked at the brocade box on the table with some surprise, "I originally thought that one of them was fake. ”

In the previous life, she was promised to Sikong Shengzhe from the beginning, even if her reputation was ruined later, she smashed the blood jade, and she did not hear that there was still a piece of blood jade in the prince's place.

"Because these two pieces of blood jade have one characteristic. Sikong Yan looked thoughtfully at the brocade box containing the blood jade, and said in a low voice: "These two pieces of blood jade are actually carved out of one piece, so if one of them is broken, the other will also be shattered. ”

So that's it!

Su Muyue was even more curious about blood jade now, how could her mother have such a valuable thing?

"Aren't you also strange?" Sikong Yan seemed to see Su Muyue's doubts, so he explained to her: "Actually, when Queen Xu was in the boudoir, she knew your mother and had a close relationship. ”

Queen Xu?

Her mother?

How could these two people, who had no possibility of meeting at all, know each other, or even have a great relationship?
