The carriage swayed all the way, but the more I went to the back, the road became more and more bumpy, Cai Wei and I were bumped enough in the carriage, especially Cai Wei, once the car ** was pressed over a stone, and she fell down, and the corners of her forehead touched the car board, and they were all red.

Even if I don't look out the window, I know that we have left the city gate and are heading out into the suburbs.

It's getting colder.

Fortunately, I had been prepared, and probably guessed that the place we were going to should be in the suburbs, so I specially asked them to prepare a thick wind in the car first, Cai Wei put it on me, and put the stove in my hand, and the two of them bumped in the car for a while, and finally heard a very soft neighing of horses in front of them.

Our carriage stopped.

Lao Xia turned around and said, "Madam, it's here." ”

I nodded, and Cai Wei hurriedly came over to help me get out of the carriage, only to find that the surroundings were completely white, and as soon as I got off the train, my feet fell into the snow, and I immediately felt a chill.

As far as the eye could see, we came to a wilderness, surrounded by mountains, frozen rivers, surrounded by dead trees, and the branches full of snow decorated those dead trees with crystal white, like the jade trees of the Moon Palace. And in this white snowfield, in front of our carriage, a horse was parked there, and it was Du Yan who left us instructions along the way and led us here.

As soon as he saw us, he immediately dismounted and walked over with the reins: "Madame." ”

I nodded, and when I spoke, I was amused by a white breath that came out of my mouth. I glanced around: "This is it"

"In front. He pointed to the foot of a hill in front of him: "I turned around, but I was afraid that they would see it, so I didn't follow it." ”

"How long has he been there?"

"It's about a cup of tea. ”

"Oh. ”

I nodded, tightened the wind on my body again, and slowly walked over to that side.

This is not better than the city, although the ground looks white, flat and neat, but the snow is full of rocks and dead branches, I only walked two steps and turned several times, if it wasn't for Du Yan's quick hand to help me, I would definitely fall into the snow, in case of hitting the rocks, it may not be as simple as hitting the redness and swelling.

Du Yan said, "Madame, be careful. ”

I nodded, carefully brushed the snow away with the soles of my shoes, and took a few more steps ahead.

Stepping into the snow, the creaking sound sounded like an inexplicable sense of pleasure, but when I lifted my feet, the mud and snow foam on my shoes were annoying, I had just taken two steps forward, and I was about to turn the corner of the mountain, but suddenly I heard a creaking sound not far ahead.

Someone came in the snow.

In such a wilderness, naturally there will be no pedestrians, so of course the people who come are

I was also a little flustered for a while, and Du Yan and Cai Wei both looked at me at the moment.

Behind him was the carriage and Du Yan's horse, although the surrounding woods were quite dense, but it was not easy to hide these things, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was not far from us.

I thought about it, squeezed the wind on my shoulder again, and simply raised my head and walked forward.

Cai Wei was anxious all of a sudden, and lowered her voice: "Madam"

As soon as the words fell, several shadowy figures had already appeared in the woods in front of them, and when they came over, a pair of eyes met my gaze, and the leader immediately froze there.

Wu Yanqiu stared at me with wide eyes: "How are you?"

I stood still, the smile on my face was as warm as the snow around me, and said, "Lord Wu, what a coincidence." ”

He still couldn't get back to his senses: "Why are you here?"

"I also want to know, on such a cold day, Lord Wu is a newlywed Yan'er, not staying at home, running to the wilderness to do something" Saying, I walked a few steps and looked behind him: "What kind of place is this, so that Lord Wu is so haunted by dreams, even the newlywed wife refuses to tell him." ”

Wu Yanqiu immediately sensed something from my words: "It's Jin Yao"

As soon as Jin Yao's name was mentioned, an angry expression immediately appeared on my face: "It's a shame that Lord Wu still knows that it's your new wife." ”

Hearing me accentuate the word "newlywed", Wu Yanqiu's face became more complicated.

However, he was an important minister of the court in the end, and he quickly calmed down.

He said, "It was Jin Yao who asked you to come, and she asked you to follow me."

I lightly hooked the corners of my lips: "Where did she want to get this by following her, she is stupid, she only knows how to torture herself when she has grievances, but I want to ask Master Wu, who are you torturing like this?"

Hearing that my tone was not only rushing, but also with a hint of resentment, Wu Yanqiu also frowned, he turned his head sideways, and said to the attendants behind him: "You go over there and guard." ”

"Yes. ”

And the men withdrew.

Wu Yanqiu took a deep breath, raised his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Madame seems to be very angry today. ”

I said, "Lord Wu, if you have a beloved sister who is left out in the cold after marrying into her husband's family, and she stays alone in the empty room on the wedding night, will you still be able to laugh?"

His smile froze a little.

After a while, he said, "Jin Yao told you"

"When a person is wronged, he either resists or needs to confide in. ”

“”

"She can't resist you, what else can she do but talk to me"

“”

He stood in the snow, his face even revealed a trace of haggardness, for a while, he sighed softly, and said: "I have long said that she is not suitable to be my wife, and she and I are not suitable at all. ”

"It's not suitable, you're already married. I walked up to him and looked him in the eye: "Even if it is no longer suitable, the emperor has already given you a marriage, since this qiē is already a fact, why can't you accept her well"

"As I said, we are not suitable"

He frowned and sighed heavily: "She's just an ignorant little girl"

My brow furrowed.

But this time, I didn't argue with him immediately, but the swelling arrogance in my chest made me feel a little painful, and I worked hard for a long time to calm down my anger a little, and then said: "Lord Wu, in your eyes, she can only be the one who disguised herself as a man and went to the restaurant to peek at you?"

“”

"Don't you allow her to grow up"

Wu Yanqiu said: "I don't see any difference between her and the past. ”

I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm here to sue you for how different she is from the past. ”

“”

If it was Yang Jinyao in the past, when she met someone who treated her so coldly, she would definitely slap the table, and even make a lot of noise to seek justice for herself. ”

“”

"But, she just cried in my arms. ”

“”

"I asked her to be cold to you too, at least not to put all her body and soul on you, because then she would give others all the opportunities to hurt herself, but she still couldn't do it. ”

“”

"Even when she came to my house every day, I could feel that she was absent-minded, and the later it was getting darker, the more anxious she became, and it was only when I went back that I could see her happy. ”

“”

"I think she's been obsessed with you since she first saw you, but I just can't pull it back. ”

“”

In fact, I know very well that Yang Jinyao fell in love with him at first sight, and it is because of this that she will be so painful when the marriage is rejected, I watched her come step by step, and was played with by the hand of fate in a short period of time, but even so, when she got the marriage, her smile was still as bright as ever.

It's just that it seems to be her last brightness.

A woman, after putting a heart in the hands of a man, also gives all the opportunities that can hurt herself.

"And you, Lord Wu," I walked up to him and stared into his eyes, "I want to know how you can bear to make a girl who smiles so brightly cry like that, and for you." Who told me that I was moved by my heart, so where is your heart now?"

He didn't speak, just stood there with complicated eyes, and I could almost see a lot of affection colliding in his eyes, as if many invisible hands were desperately tearing at him.

"Besides," looking at his contradictory and struggling appearance, I added: "You really don't understand, Concubine Ning's purpose for asking the emperor to marry you?"

He was stunned and looked up at me: "What purpose?"

I sighed lightly and said, "Yang Jinqiao, who is now Concubine Ning, was planned into the palace by the queen and the emperor together. ”

He said, "I understand. ”

"I think some of her past things, even if you don't know very well, you should have heard about it. ”

Yang Jinqiao's matter can be hidden from the world, but how can it be hidden from Queen Taishi, and it is impossible for Wu Yanqiu not to know at all.

Looking at his silent appearance, I affirmed this even more, and then said: "The queen mother has read my letter and knows about you, so she gave up letting Jin Yao enter the palace and chose Yang Jinqiao, she is also risky to do this, if Yang Jinqiao enters the palace with a grudge and works against the queen mother, plus some other people are reinstated, do you think the queen mother's status in the harem is still stable?"

“”

"However, when you were in Taimiao, Yang Jinqiao asked the emperor to give you a marriage, do you understand the significance of her move?"

“”

She was suing Queen Sù that she was calculated, she endured it and accepted her fate. ”

“”

Actually, it's not that she endures it and accepts her fate, but she knows very well that doing this is good for her, Yang Jinyao, and the Yang family, but she can't be ruthless herself, and Chang Qing and my calculations made her finally embark on this road.

What's more, she affirmed the union of the interests of the princess, the queen and their Yang family, one glory and one loss, so that Chang Qing would believe that she did not hold a grudge against herself, after all, the danger of the harem was no less than that of the previous dynasty, and Chang Qing did not dare to put a person who he did not fully trust by his side, only when Yang Jinqiao expressed his position with this matter, Chang Qing would completely let go of his guard and believe her.

Wu Yanqiu looked at me, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

I shook my head slightly.

With Wu Yanqiu's identity, he shouldn't be unable to see it after many years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, but now looking at his appearance, it seems that he really doesn't understand.

Perhaps, if you really care about it, when you meet some people and things, all the wisdom and calmness in the past will disappear without a trace in that person and about her.

Perhaps, for Yang Jinyao, he is not careless.

It's just that I don't know how to pay attention.

I sighed and said softly: "Yang Jinqiao Ning Concubine asked the emperor for marriage, firstly, to show goodwill to the queen, and secondly, for the sake of her sister's happiness. But now, you treat Jin Yao like this, have you ever thought that the union of the two of you is not her wishful thinking and your unwillingness, if one day, Concubine Ning knows that you treat her sister like this, what will she think?"

“”

"Queen, and what is the attitude of the Grand Master towards their Yang family?"

“”

"If that's the case," I looked at him: "Do you really think that Sister Jin Yao is the only one who is ignorant?"

Wu Yanqiu didn't speak, but I knew that at this moment his heart was turbulent, all kinds of emotions were surging, and he could almost see it in his eyes, and after a long time, the wind in the field blew up, blowing down the snow on the dead trees and branches around him, and the snow foam brushed his face and condensed on his eyebrows, adding a little melancholy.

He slowly raised his head to look at me, and said, "Thank you, madam, for waking up the dreamer with a word." ”

I laughed: "I just don't understand, how can a person who is so awake as Lord Wu be in a dream"

“”

"Who made you fall asleep?"

When he heard my playful words, he also smiled lightly, but there was also a little more understanding in his smile.

Probably, in the past thirty years of experience, he has not met anyone who will really make him confused and make him fall asleep.

Thinking of this, I said softly: "Master Wu, no matter what, you have already married, no matter how unsuitable Jin Yao is, she is already your wife, you give her a chance, you are giving you a chance." If Qianmo is a game and the common people are chess, why not make two happy chess pieces, but must torture each other like this?"

"Qianmo is the game, and the common people are chess"

He muttered and repeated, and then looked at me again, his eyes clear.

Then, he gave me a long bow, "Thank you, ma'am." ”

I also laughed, and then stretched out my hand to my mouth and breathed kindly: "Okay, okay, I finally moved you iceman, go back quickly, it's not in vain that I went to the street today, and I didn't even drink a sip of tea, so I came here with you." ”

He smiled, "Then let's go back quickly." ”

Both of them turned around and walked towards where we had come from, Lao Xia and Cai Wei were standing by the carriage waiting for us, and Du Yan was gone.

As we walked over, I casually glanced back.

A snow-capped mountain stands not far away, the pine trees on the mountain stand tall, and the snow reveals a very strange verdant.

On the top of the mountain, the pavilion is faintly exposed
