Cun Xi was about to bring the lantern over to see which one it was. :3w.し The Imperial Forest Army came in large numbers, and together with the secret guards, they solved the people in the shadows, and rushed to this side, and surrounded the carriage, and the coachman saw that the situation was not right, and actually bit the poison sac hidden in his teeth, and instantly bled to death.

It is too late to wait for the pity and the falling geese to find out.

Cun Xi kicked the dead body and said, "It's a pity that I didn't ask anything." At this time, another carriage arrived, and Xue Yinong got out of the carriage, looking at the tragic situation in front of him, and couldn't bear to look at it.

Luo Yan hurriedly ran to Xue Yinong's side, "Your Majesty, you're dead." ”

"It's okay, I guessed it would be like this." Someone secretly wants to be unfavorable to Xu Shutong, so naturally she won't let her know who did it, why should she do it, "It's just that sometimes the dead will tell the truth better than the living, take the body back and let the red lotus test it." She remembered her imperial physician and seemed interested in studying the human body.

Luo Yan: "......" was speechless in surprise.

"Since it's okay, let's go back! Pity, how are your injuries? Can you stand it, just bandage it, I have a medicine box in my carriage. What about dredging? ”

Cun Xi pointed to the carriage, "If you go back to the emperor, Madame is still in the car." ”

"It's okay." Xue Yinong said slowly, the sky seemed to be particularly dark and cold this night. And when she knew that Xu Shutong was fine, her tense nerves were also relaxed. All her worries were gone, and she stepped into the carriage briskly, took Xu Shutong out, stuffed it into her carriage, and said, "Go back, remember to clean the road, don't scare other guests." ”

The dead soldiers and the guards who were killed were dealt with.

In the carriage, Xue Yinong didn't say a word, and let Xu Shutong lean on his arms. Xu Shutong was still sleeping, like a dead man. Cun Xi sat on the side, cutting his sleeve with a dagger, revealing the scar on his arm, fortunately, there was a cotton coat to block it, although there was a lot of blood, but the injury was not deep.

Luo Yan found out the medicine box, used wine to eliminate the poison for her, applied the medicine, wrapped it in gauze circle by circle, and tied a knot. Looking at her exposed snow-white lotus root, I took a blanket and asked her to surround it, don't freeze.

Feeling her carefulness, he glanced at her with grateful eyes. Don't go over the goose, it won't be accepted.

Xue Yinong, who had been silent at this time, opened his mouth, "Pity, what happened to you?" ”

Cun Xi met the two with King Gongjing, and later got into the carriage, Xu Shutong suddenly fell into a coma and said, "The slave and maid have been checked, it doesn't look like it's poisoned, it's like being drugged, it's just that the slave and maid accompanied me all the way, and I didn't find anything unusual, strange people, it's strange, the slave and maid are fine, but the lady is ......."

No matter who is drugged, no one seems to want Xu Shutong's life!

Back in the palace, Xue Yinong ordered everyone not to mention the matter. I am afraid that the Queen Mother knows that she is going to make a superfluous storm again, and then a few people went back to the Splendid Palace, and Luo Yan went to invite Lin Honglian over, Lin Honglian was surprised, "It's that one again?" Luo Yan nodded, "Something happened again?" Luo Yan continued to nod, and Lin Honglian said: "Trouble, after she came, I was extra busy." ”

followed Luo Yan to the Splendid Palace, checked Xu Shutong, and made sure that his body was fine. "It's just drugged, it doesn't matter. But Wei Chen is very strange, how did this drug come in? ”

Cun Xi naturally couldn't say why, because she was fine, "Madame just drinks tea with people, eats snacks, and people are fine!" She saw Xue Qingqiu eating with her own eyes, if she wanted to say that there were problems with these, it was impossible for Xu Shutong not to know.

"That could be something else, okay, let her rest and she'll be fine." Lin Honglian glanced at Cunxi, saw that her arm movement was not good, knew that she was injured, and also treated her once, no major problem, just apply some gold sore medicine, and be careful not to touch the water in the recent days. After the diagnosis, I covered the medicine box and was about to go back, so I heard Xue Yinong open his mouth.

"I left good things for you, go back and know yourself." She glanced at Lin Honglian mysteriously.

"Really? Thank you, Your Majesty. "I don't know what a good thing it is. The fox looked suspiciously, glanced at Xue Yinong, slowly walked out of the Splendid Palace, and then ran away regardless of the slippery ground, and when he went back, he saw a bloody male corpse, Lin Honglian said happily: "Long live the emperor." ”

When the rest of the imperial doctors saw her move, they all showed expressions like looking at monsters, this woman is not ordinary! behaves strangely, doesn't marry or talk, fiddles with the dog that eats like a pig every day, and screams when they see the corpse, they still stay away.

Seeing the strange Lin Honglian, the imperial doctors stood on tiptoe with a tacit understanding, and retreated gently like a zombie.

Let's say that in a certain manor, Xue Qingqiu walked around the house impatiently, he had waited long enough, but the people sent out to do errands had not yet returned. Staff Xu sat there, looking at him, drinking tea.

"Don't worry, count the time, it will come soon."

Suddenly, someone came hurrying outside the door. Staff Xu put down the teacup, touched his goat's short beard and said: "It's not about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is ......" He couldn't continue, and the people who came in were covered in blood, although the black clothes were not very visible, but the blood drippeds on the clean floor, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

"Master, something happened, and everyone was killed." After he said this, he collapsed from excessive blood loss. Staff Xu hurriedly stood up and walked over quickly to see if this person still had breath, and felt that a white shadow flashed in front of him, and this person had been given the last blow by Xue Qingqiu's sword.

Staff Xu slowly stood up, "Lord Wang, why are you ......?"

"It's not good, and it's possible to lure the enemy here. This king sees, we should retreat quickly. He retreated decisively, mounted his horse with his guards, and fled by other means, all the way back to his mansion in the capital. Waiting for the slaves and maids to bring tea and take a sip, they took a breath and glanced at Staff Xu, "Staff members, if you have something to ask." ”

"Yes, why can't the prince wait to kill that person, maybe you can know from that person's mouth who is doing bad things."

"Don't guess, it's the little emperor!" According to the plan, Xu Shutong should be lying in his arms obediently at this time, and someone must have come out to stir up trouble. It seems that the little emperor really cares about her, so it's easy to do. "But this time it's good that all the people are dead, we don't have any worries, the little emperor can't find out who it is, the ground in the capital, the fish and dragons are mixed, even if the king is very suspicious, but there is also evidence of alibi, isn't it? It's just that Xu Shutong seems to be a little unwell-behaved, otherwise she wouldn't have understood the prince's invitation, what do you say to do Staff Xu? Does she want to move? ”

Staff Xu thought that this matter should not be rushed, "Lord Wang, slow down a little longer, you have spent too much effort on this chess piece on her, it is a pity to give up like this, she is still useful." Originally, we planned to let her conceive your child, and then falsely claim to be the little emperor, since she can't give birth now, there is no way to do it, but with her, it can also be of other use. Staff Xu whispered a few words, and Xue Qingqiu praised the clever plan.

Xue Qingqiu was happy, but he was still not very happy in his heart, Xu Shutong had become a thorn in his throat, "This king is afraid that she will rebel against the water, and if she is a person from the little emperor's side, it will be very disadvantageous to us." ”

Staff Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, princess, she still wants you to find your sister!" The two looked at each other and smiled understandingly. It's just that this sister has been looking for so long, I'm afraid that she is already suspicious, why don't you take the opportunity to offer 'Xu Shuying'. ”

"The staff is really joking, where can I find that Xu Shuying in this king."

"It doesn't matter, we can make one." As long as you follow Xu Shutong's appearance, it will be impossible to make a fake one to enter the palace.

"It's just that this fake is fake after all, and she'll find out."

Staff Xu shook his head and said: "The prince doesn't know, there is a person in this river and lake who has faked to the pinnacle, as long as he can afford the price, he can do anything, but this master Shenlong has seen the head and the end, and he has been living in seclusion for many years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find. ”

Xue Qingqiu slapped the table and said, "Very good!" ”

As long as you have this, I don't believe that Xu Shutong is not obedient. Xu Shutong couldn't escape from the palm of his hand, and Xue Qingqiu's five fingers were clenched into fists tightly, looking like he was bound to win.

The next day, Xu Shutong woke up. In a daze, my heart was suddenly shocked. Looking around, he realized that it was his bedroom, and the person lying beside him was Xue Yinong, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she fainted last night, she had roughly guessed the whole story, Xue Qingqiu did something in her tea, even if it wasn't tea, it was a teacup! Careless! It's just how she came back, glanced at Xue Yinong again, and said in her heart: "Mo didn't she save me back, but how did she know about it?" ”

Thinking of the stupid hat on the first floor of the Flying Crane Tower, can she believe that those people have found any clues?

It's just that Xue Qingqiu actually prepared two hands for her in order to achieve his goal. Even if the discussion can't be reached, there is still a backup, he has calculated that Xue Yinong will not be able to give birth to a child, and he wants to transfer flowers and trees.

I didn't sue him, he had a broken body and couldn't give birth, it wasn't because he didn't believe it, or because he was psychologically unbalanced. No matter what point it is, this incident is enough for the two of them to tear their faces, and he is ruthless to her, so don't blame her for being unjust to him.

Cunxi, who was lying on the table and caregivers, rubbed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Xu Shutong had woken up, she looked next to Xu Shutong, Xue Yinong was still asleep, walked over and lowered her voice, and said, "Madam, what do you think?" Is there any discomfort? ”

Xu Shutong pursed his lips and shook his head, about to get up. The movements were gentle, for fear of alarming Xue Yinong beside him. After getting up, he covered Xue Yinong with a quilt, dressed himself lightly and went out, and when he arrived at the small kitchen, Xu Shutong poured tea and ate a few warm snacks before asking, "How did I come back yesterday?" ”

Cun regretted telling what happened one by one, and his eyes were red. "If the emperor hadn't arrived in time, the slave and maid would have lost their lives." In fact, she didn't know what was going on, she was sad for a while, and suddenly she smiled again, for Xue Yinong's timely rain, she praised it many times.

Xu Shutong gouged her out with his eyes, "This little favor bought you off, didn't you think that it might be the emperor's self-directed and self-acting." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression of pity turned into nervousness. "No, it won't."

"A lot of things are possible until the truth is known." Her value doesn't just work in Xue Qingqiu, but also in Xue Yinong.

No wonder Xu Shutong was suspicious, she couldn't trust anything, anyone now. A person who has been deceived will be extraordinarily sensitive to anything. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Even if she felt in her heart that Xue Yinong would not do such a thing, she could still hold this little emperor for the time being, but 'knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts', it is better not to trust anyone.

Xu Shutong looked outside the house, and it was already dawn. She got up and said, "It's not too early, the emperor should get up, I'll go see her." ”

In the main house, Xue Yinong opened his eyes, poked his neck out of the tent, and shook his head to look for people everywhere, like a cute puppy. When Xu Shutong saw it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The emperor is awake?" ”

She walked to the edge of the bed and was fished in by Xue Yinong. asked, "Where did you run this morning, I was worried in vain." ”

"I won't lose it again, the emperor is too careful."

"If you're not careful, you don't know how many people like you, you really don't realize it at all, I'm afraid that if you don't notice it for a while, you will be abducted." She said, "Sit down and talk, I raise my neck and feel uncomfortable. ”

Xu Shutong sat down and saw her retract her warm hand back into the quilt.

"Where does anyone like me, the emperor thinks nonsense, except for you, I'm afraid they don't like me, it's too late for them to hate me." Looking at Xue Yinong's black crystal eyes, they were like that at all times, as black as ink, with a lustrous light in them, and the word 'sincerity' was written, she had no way to think about what method Xue Yinong would use to perform in front of her. "I know everything about yesterday, thank you to the emperor for rescuing. How could the emperor just appear there? ”

Xue Yinong knew that she had doubts, and she didn't sell it, and sighed: "Where did I just appear there, it was obvious that I was rushing there, and after you left yesterday, I was restless, and as soon as you left, I thought about what you thought about to die." Speaking of this, her face turned slightly red, and she didn't dare to look at Xu Shutong, feeling that she was too hypocritical, and continued: "I thought that you would finish talking to King Jingjing, take you back, and go shopping again, but I heard that you came out of the restaurant, and I didn't come over for a long time, and I suspected that something was wrong, so I looked for you everywhere, found you, you were already in a coma in the carriage, only one person was busy fighting with the coachman, I heard that the coachman was disguised, the real one, I am afraid that I have been attacked by the enemy." She lowered her eyelashes and said quietly, her pity was not avoided at all.

Xu Shutong grabbed Xue Yinong's handle, "You picked me up?" ”

"I wanted to come like this, but it turned out to be ......" Xue Yinong frowned, it was rare to want to play a romantic game, but something like this happened. Xu Shutong's hand had reached over and scratched her brow.

"Don't wrinkle, if you wrinkle, you will age quickly."

Xue Yinong stretched out his hand from the quilt again and shook it. I want to pass on my temperature to Xu Shutong. In the morning, the secret guard came to report that he had found the body of the coachman, who had been killed when he went to the toilet, his face was blurred with blood, and his face was torn off.

"Then burn it, and the driver's family will pay for it."

"The subordinates understand. In addition, respectfully to the palace, there is news coming. The dark guard took out a small bamboo tube from his waist and handed it to Xue Yinong respectfully with both hands.

"Okay, I understand, let's go."

After the secret guard left, Xue Yinong took out the small roll of paper in the bamboo tube, and there were some eyebrows that had been checked, Xue Qingqiu's house, except for the general laundry and cooking mother-in-law, and the slave who swept the floor, there were no young and beautiful women, and he rarely talked to women.

Xue Yinong pinched the roll paper in the palm of her hand, Xu Shutong's laughter outside had arrived, she was afraid that there were people in Xue Yinong's house, so she squeaked a little, Xue Yinong smiled and said, "Shutong come in." Xu Shutong came over with a small plate of spring rolls early, and Xue Yinong asked, "Why did you think of making this?" ”

"There are a lot of people in the palace who are busy making pastries these days, and it is expected that the emperor will be tired of eating too much, so he specially got some gadgets to change the taste for you, and it can be regarded as thanking the emperor for saving his life."

Xue Yinong reached out and took one early, and was glanced at by Xu Shutong a few times, "The emperor has learned from children, he doesn't wash his hands, and he doesn't know how to use chopsticks." ”

"Hey, hey." Xue Yinong is a little proud, it is still quite fun to have someone by her side to '□□□□', and Xu Shutong has always been three points □□, three points of resentment, and four points of coquettishness, which makes her feel strange. I can't wait to take it into my arms and sit down, and let her talk with her for a while. It's just that his hands are already stained with oil, and he refuses to stain Xu Shutong's clothes anymore, so he eats a few bites before saying, "Your sister's matter is a little eyebrow-raising." ”

"Really?" Xu Shutong was faintly looking forward to it, but it was not good to show that it was too much.

"Yes, there is no trace of your sister in the palace of the king, you can rest assured now, the king of the king of respectfulness cannot threaten you, and I have already asked people to check if there are any other courtyards or basements, and the result is still like this. Dredging, what I can do for you has been done for you, what are your plans next? Xue Yinong looked at her calmly, and saw that Xu Shutong's face was very bad, and there was hatred in his eyes. When she thought about it, she understood that Xue Qingqiu deceived and used him like this, Xu Shutong was only afraid that he would hate him to the core.

Xu Shutong rubbed and rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, and found that Xue Yinong was looking at her, and said with a smile: "That's good, at least my sister is safe now." "She gritted her teeth clearly, but in the face of Xue Yinong, she said such an 'understatement', which made Xue Yinong feel all kinds of pity, and Xu Shutong saw these in his eyes." Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Xue Yinong nodded, and did not say any more comforting words, for fear of hurting Xu Shutong's self-esteem. Xu Shutong didn't stay long, so he went out with a smile, but he turned his back, his eyes were already red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, Xue Qingqiu was really lying to her! A sinister smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

It seems that he has to eat Xue Qingqiu's flesh, drink his blood, and crush his bones to ashes before he can do it. It's best not to let her find a chance, otherwise let him know that he is definitely not so easy to deceive.

Because of this, Xu Shutong was unhappy for two days.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. The busyness in the palace seems to have stopped, the banquet of the hundred officials has already been done, but this year is not as rich as last year, the disaster outside is strict, Xue Yinong is also interested, and after a simple meeting, he handed over everything to Prime Minister Yu and asked him to entertain the banquet of the hundred officials.

She ate a little by herself and went to a small gathering with her family.

The family banquet was placed in the Queen Mother's Recuperation Palace. Xue Yinong's family members were all present, not counting those relatives who rubbed the edges, those, she planned to invite them again on the fifteenth. In addition to the aunt of the Queen Mother, it is her parents, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, niece, sister, Yu Shiyou, and her.

Even then, it took two or three tables.

My sister and brother-in-law have really been idle over the years, and they have spread out, and those children of all ages have sat at two tables, not counting those concubines.

Xue Yinong has three sisters, all of whom are beautiful women, dignified and generous, but they were born early, and now they are nearly thirty-five or sixteen years, which is a golden age in modern times, but a few white hairs have appeared on their heads, and there are crow's feet at the corners of their eyes, and they are not less tired at home.

Xue Yinong's eyes moved to the three brothers-in-law, she was usually busy, she really didn't have time to see these people, and when she saw it, she was a little dissatisfied. The brother-in-law looks older than her sister, she remembers the situation she let people check, these brothers-in-law are nearly forty years old, all of them look like they are fifty or sixty, their faces are yellow, as if they have been malnourished for a long time, they are worse than her old father Xue Dingshan, they are in their sixties, their eyes are flickering, and they are full of spirit.

Xue Yinong looked at it and shook his head, if it goes on like this, she will have to see the king of Hades in a few years, and besides, looking at these people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to become her right-hand man, it seems that if she wants to clean up those who have ill intentions, she has to cultivate talents in addition.

With Xue Dingshan here, naturally he still has the final say in this banquet. He said a few opening remarks, words of blessing, everyone ate together silently, and the men sat at a table, drank wine, and talked about some news and current affairs in the capital, which was inevitably boring.

Xue Yinong couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, so he had to sit with him for a while, and then went to the female dependents to accompany the Empress Dowager. Sitting in the female dependents, it is not an eyesore, and the sisters are very affectionate, "Your Majesty, this has been married for a few months, is there any good news?" They had just asked the queen about this, but the queen was silent. Everyone is a woman, so they naturally know that this problem lies with their younger brother, so they can't help but ask this question.

"I'm blessed, not yet!"

The Queen Mother said: "I'm afraid it's not Fubo, it's not my best!" No matter how barren the crops are, as long as they are fattened enough and diligent at all times, they will eventually be harvested. If you don't sow seeds, don't water, and just say that you are blessed, your Majesty, is this not very good? ”

Xue Yinong was embarrassed, and only said: "What the Queen Mother said is true." ”
