Sneeze.

The winter night was cold, but the room was warm, but there was still a series of sneezes.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

Xue Qing lifted the quilt and sat up, looking at Song Huzi on a bed next to him.

This bed occupies the position of the original desk, and it is obviously temporarily raised, Song Huzi originally slept on Mrs. Song's side in the room, and Song Ying will also accompany him, but Xue Qing of course chose the Luohan bed on this side of the compartment.

Song Huzi came over, and the little guys trembled under Xue Qing's frowning gaze and carried a small bed and put it in.

There was no light in the house, because Xue Qing said that he was not used to sleeping with a night light, as for Song Huzi's habits, of course, he ignored it, and the maid who was keeping vigil outside could only light up one more night light, at this time the light came in dimly through the bead curtain, and Song Huzi was lying on the small bed, although he endured it and did not turn it over, but he found a new fun and picked his nose with his hand.....

Hearing Xue Qing's scolding, Song Huzi stopped and laughed stupidly.

Xue Qing said: "If you don't sleep anymore, I'll drive you out." ”

A maidservant girl cautiously poked her head in from the outside: "It is very difficult for the young master to fall asleep, and the doctors also said that he is depressed, and it is rare to be able to lie down for so long without moving." ”

Xue Qing sighed and said, "That's easy to do, don't sleep, go out to play, sleep when you've had enough." While waving his hand at Song Huzi, "Go, go, go." ”

Song Huzi didn't understand anything else, and when he saw that he was waving his hand and recognized that he was going to be driven away, he immediately lay straight up, and his hand was taken down and put on his side motionless.

Xue Qing said: "It's okay if you don't sleep, don't make noise with me." After that, he didn't drive him to lie down again, turned over and hugged the pillow and fell asleep.

Song Huzi didn't sneeze anymore, and slowly relaxed.....

The maidservants retracted and retreated silently, and the small courtyard fell silent.

There is no such thing as absolute silence.

The handmaiden's breathing, the crawling of night insects outside, the murmuring of night birds, and the footsteps of approaching slowly.....

Xue Qing hugged the pillow and wrapped the quilt to sleep, and when his footsteps stopped outside the bead curtain, he was silent, only his eyes condensed in the night.....

On the Luohan bed near the window, the girl was wrapped in a ball like a silkworm cocoon, and on the small wooden bed next to it, the chubby teenager slept on his back, drooling with his mouth open, and laughing twice from time to time.....

It's like when I was a kid.

There are two children sleeping on a bed, the big one is facing inward, the small one is spread out to occupy more positions, in the summer there will be a pampa fan gently fanned over them to drive away mosquitoes and bring coolness, and in the winter there is a pair of hands beside them to cover the quilt at any time.....

The oil lamp in the house is dim, this small post station has no oil and water, and the food is only enough to eat and drink, and the lamp oil is the second, but this does not prevent the needlework at night.....

Staying by the side of the two children, there are women sewing under the dim light, and the shoes, socks and clothes of a family of four are kept all year round....

The baby's clothes are small, and the tiger's shoes are kicked and torn again....

"Why is your official robe scratched.....

A voice came from his ears, and the vague figure sitting in his sight raised his head, stood up at the same time, and walked over.

"I haven't issued a new one for several years, when you go to the government to receive rice and grain, ask me, what is there on an official robe that is not given, we are not mainstream officials, and clothes are not worth a few dollars......"

The figure approached the bead curtain, and under the dim light, the daughter of a down-and-out Xiucai family in the countryside gave birth to two children, and her face with traces of time was still beautiful, and her eyes were joyful about her husband's return, and she stretched out her hand as if to check the torn clothes on her husband's body, even if it was a worn one, her dexterous needle and thread could be repaired.

"Good girl..."

There was a sound of bead curtains, and a pair of hands stretched out eagerly, and just as she was about to hold the woman's hand, the smiling woman turned into green smoke and dissipated, stepped in and staggered eagerly, and with a clang, hit the wooden bed that was on the slot.

The boy in the bed was frightened and convulsed in his sleep, stretched out his hand and waved it wildly, and his mouth let out a whining sound.....

"It's okay, it's okay. Song Yuan didn't bother to stand firm, patted Song Huzi with his big hand, and whispered to reassure, "Huzi sleep, sleep, dad is here." ”

Song Huzi shouted, slapped, kicked indiscriminately....

"What's wrong?what's wrong?" Xue Qing sat up with the quilt in his arms, his nasal voice thick.

Song Huzi's noise suddenly stopped, he closed his eyes and put his hands to his mouth and muttered something, tilted his head and grinned and fell asleep.....

Song Yuan withdrew his hand and patted Song Huzi and said, "It's okay." "Get up and walk outside.

Xue Qing sat on the bed and looked at him, and when he was about to lie down, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "There is something..."

Song Yuan stopped and didn't look back, and his voice was a little impatient and interrupted: "What's the matter?"

Xue Qing said: "Who set the fire in Huangsha Road?"

.......

.......

"I put it. ”

Song Yuan, who looked slightly sideways under the night light, had a dim face and an indifferent voice.

"Song Yuan, I am indeed a wicked person in the eyes of the world, I can let my daughter die in my place, and I can also let others die. ”

Xue Qing said: "No one has told me about this yet. ”

In the dim darkness of the room, she could be seen sitting cross-legged, but she couldn't see her expression clearly, but there was no sadness, joy and anger in her voice, only curiosity.

Song Yuan retracted his gaze, turned his back to Xue Qing through the bead curtain, and said: "There is nothing to talk about, the queen mother is weak, and the army of Qin Tan Gong is approaching unstoppable, although it is said that when Qin Tan Gong arrives, Niang Niang will set herself on fire, but in case the fire of the palace can't stop Qin Tan Gong, so after Niang Niang ordered to pour fire oil inside and outside the palace, I will let Niangniang's guards pour fire oil on the whole city....."

The weather is dry and dry, there is no rain for a long time, the mountain rain is coming, the thunder is rolling, and Huangsha Daocheng is like a dry firewood pile.

Knowing that there was going to be a thunderstorm, every household closed their doors and windows tightly in order to sleep soundly.

The firewood shone brightly in the dark night, and it seemed that countless stars fell from the sky, fell to the ground, splashed, exploded, and fireworks, and the ground burned into a long dragon, winding, shaking, circling, swallowing the entire Huangsha Dao City into the mouth.......

Xue Qing closed his eyes and expelled the picture, and said, "Actually, there is no need to ...... at all."

"Why is it unnecessary?" Song Yuan interrupted her, "Do you know that even if the city is full of fire, Qin Tangong has also broken into the mansion, if it weren't for the fact that Niangniang also poured fire oil on herself, it would have fallen into the hands of Qin Tangong....." Turning his head to look at Xue Qing who was sitting on the bed, "It stands to reason that you are also ..... , didn't the mother pour fire oil on you?"

Xue Qing said: "Probably, I can't remember, I think it's reasonable for a cute child like me to be difficult to start." ”

Song Yuandao: "You don't have to say that, since I sent you there, I don't expect you to be grateful or forgiven." ”

Xue Qing said: "I don't mean anything else, just say it casually, mainly to confirm what is going on with the fire in Huangsha Road." ”

Song Yuan said: "Seeing that the queen mother is dead, Qin Tangong ordered that no one in the city should be allowed to escape, people, pigs, dogs, livestock, not allowed, and the officers and soldiers lit a circle of fires outside the city." ”

Qin Tangong did this in order to cover up the true cause of the queen's death by saying that the thunder and fire evil spirits of Huangsha Dao were in the future, Xue Qing nodded and understood, and said: "So the fire in Huangsha Dao City, Qin Tangong did participate, but in fact, you are the real murderer." ”

Song Yuan's voice was indifferent, and he said, "So what? Are you going to sue me?"

What's the use of suing him? This matter will only be pushed on Qin Tangong, and Emperor Baozhang will not let Song Yuan bear this notoriety, and it will affect the reputation of Emperor Baozhang, and Chen Sheng and other officials will not agree.

She can't do such a thing as a lonely testimony to the world, she can't do it.

Xue Qing smiled and said, "No, no, you think too much, I'm just confirming." ”

What to confirm?

Song Yuan said lightly: "You can confirm that your father and I are indeed a wicked person who sacrifices his children and is full of blood." ”

Xue Qing said: "It was also your idea to search all over the world?"

Song Yuandao: "At that time, the Five Worm Army took you to hide and lost a trace, and Qin Tangong seemed to be suspicious again, and asked everyone if it made sense to say that the most dangerous place was the safest, what could I do?" looked at Xue Qing.

Xue Qing said: "It's really not easy to do. ”

Speaking is always like this, yin and yang weird, Song Yuan looked indifferent, and said: "I can only be obedient, I propose to rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, Zong Zhou is the henchman of the Qin family, and he is the person who is most familiar with the first emperor and Empress Baozhang and Emperor Baozhang, he came to do this to win the trust of Qin Tangong the most, but this person is inferior and conceited because of his disability, and he is obsessed with martial arts to show off his literary talents and disdain to leave the palace, I made up a scripture to coax him into the bloodline of the Son of Heaven can make his face stay forever....."

Xue Qing said: "It's okay if I'm dead, those girls..."

Song Yuan interrupted her and said, "Those girls died for His Highness, and they died as they deserved. "Don't wait for Xue Qing to speak, "I am the one who arranged to defend you, and I am the one who arranged to reveal your whereabouts and hunt you down, if you don't die for a day, Your Highness will be safe for a day." ”

Xue Qing said: "What if I die?"

"Aren't you dead now?" Song Yuan's voice came out of his teeth.

There was silence in the room.

Xue Qing said: "I haven't finished speaking, I'm dead, and Your Highness is safe." There seems to be a smile.

The room was silent again.

It seemed that after a long time and it seemed to be just a breath, Song Yuan's voice sounded again: "At the beginning, when I sent you to go with the queen mother, I told you, don't tell others that you are my daughter, you will be your father and mother are dead, forget it." Then he strode away, the door opened and closed, and his footsteps were far away.

Quiet inside and out, night insects murmured, Song Huzi on the small bed shouted a few vaguely, kicked his legs a few times, turned over and snored and fell asleep.

Xue Qing stretched out his hand and patted his heart, and said, "Poor child." "Wrapped in a quilt, he fell asleep again.

......

......

The footsteps hurriedly broke through the night of the small courtyard, the mourning hall was brightly lit, the servants had already withdrawn, Song Yuan stood in the mourning hall and looked at the tablet coffin, his face was pale, panting, his body shook, it seemed that he had exhausted his strength to walk this way, and staggered forward to support the coffin.

"Good mother, the children are complete, you, see it. ”

He muttered, and then burst into tears, and his body fell limply downward, and when he was about to fall, he held on violently.

"I can't fall, good mother, I can't fall. He grabbed the coffin and stood up straight little by little, his voice was hoarse, and the green tendons on his hands burst out, "This burden, I can't let it go!"

Under the candlelight of the white thorns, the man in the black and red official robe stood stiffly beside the coffin, tilting his head to cry and holding back, and finally only a low whimper swirled in the room and floated out into the night sky.

......

......

Before dawn, Xue Qing was already about to go out.

"I'm not a scholar now, and I'm not a man anymore. She said, turning her head to look at the maidservant girl beside her, "Are all the young ladies working so hard now?"

The maid was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Xue Qing didn't wait for her to answer, turned his head to look at Song Huzi who was following here, and said, "I didn't sleep well at all last night, and I got up so early today, it's really bitter." ”

Song Huzi didn't understand what she said, but he grinned happily and nodded again and again.

Song Yuan stood with his hands down by the door and said, "Don't be verbose, let you enter the palace and go quickly, when you are so busy." ”

Xue Qing said: "Yes, when you're so busy, you shouldn't need my help, right?"

Song Yuan looked at her with a blank expression.

Xue Qingyi lowered his head and stepped into the car, Song Huzi followed, Song Yuan's lips moved, and he didn't stop it in the end, turning around and getting on the horse first.

The honor guard of Song and Yuan's travel is still tightly guarded, and it will be fine after today, announcing the return of Emperor Baozhang to the world, and also announcing that Song Yuan is no longer a villain.

There is still a big court meeting today, officials gathered in front of the palace gate, the palace gate has not yet opened, everyone whispered in twos and threes, and stopped when they saw Song Yuan, and they were surprised to see the carriage behind Song Yuan.

Song Yuan got off the horse and stood among the officials, and the carriage did not stop and went towards the palace gate, was it going to drive straight into the palace gate?

Even Wang Lieyang is not qualified to ride on the shoulders in the palace, who can enter the imperial city in a carriage like this?

There was a low sound of discussion and a slight commotion all around.....

Liu Chunyang hurried forward, but was soon grabbed by Zhang Liantang, who stepped over.

"It's her...," Liu Chunyang said hurriedly.

Zhang Liantang said: "Knowing that it's her, don't stop her carriage, at this moment, it's good to be able to ride straight into the imperial city from here." ”

Although she didn't get out of the car and walked, firstly, it was inconvenient for the woman's identity to show her face, secondly, it was reasonable for Xue Qing to sit in the car with an injury, and most importantly, this was the attitude of the imperial court.

Although Xue Qing is a daughter, she can take such an unprecedentedly high standard as a car, and enter the imperial city through the big palace gate of the hundred officials, instead of quietly entering the palace through the side door like other female relatives when they are received.

For now, it is already a very good thing, so don't block her carriage, let her have a discretionary choice of whether to get out of the carriage or not.

Liu Chunyang understood, stopped, and looked at the carriage walking beside him, the winter carriage curtain was thick and low, and the people inside could not be seen.....

The surrounding officials also reacted.

"It's Xue Qing. ”

"Is this going to court?"

"Can't you, you can still be an official? Isn't the champion fake?"

"Hey, the champion is not fake, it's just a daughter. ”

"I'll know in a while, can I see it in the court..."

The palace gate was wide open, the solemn guards did not search the carriage at all, the carriage drove straight in, the palace gate closed again and isolated the discussion, only the imperial city in the morning light with many guards was more empty and solemn, Xue Qing did not come to the main hall of the Shang Dynasty, but walked into the palace behind it, which was the place where the Shang Dynasty rested before.

There was no loud communication, only a eunuch respectfully led the way to make an invitation, Xue Qing walked into the hall, there was a line of sight from the hall, Xue Qing also looked over, the morning light was dim in the hall, and the vision was a little blurry when he came in, but Xue Qing still saw the young man clearly.

The young man also saw her clearly, his eyes had already adapted to the light in the hall suddenly rounded, and in the morning light, a girl wearing a blue and black skirt walked in, she was tall, tied two braids and hung down on both sides, swaying slightly as she walked, as if she was hanging a jewel, this posture was unfamiliar, but her face was .....

The complexion is slightly pale, the eyebrows are long, and the facial features are delicate.....

Brother Qingzi....

As soon as he saw this face, the impact of the woman's dress suddenly disappeared, Guo Ziqian instantly had a sour nose, but before he could shout, the people around him had already jumped out first.

"Xue Qing, you liar!"

The woman's screams resounded throughout the temple.

Xue Qing raised his hand and pressed his ear, alas, it's so annoying.
