Xia has been waiting for news in fear for the past few days, and when she heard the maid say that Gu Lianmin sent her a plate of pastries, she sent someone to find her and put it on the table. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Her heart is in dire straits, and she can't even sleep, let alone eat.

Looking at the good shape on the table, exuding a faint fragrance of pastries, Xia couldn't help but wonder, this was given to her by the young lady?

sighed, Yan Xue came over to tell her about her brother this time, which was a great favor, and now she gave her pastries, her heart was really moved.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a piece of pastry, took a small bite and ate it.

Well? It tastes good.

Putting her hand close to her mouth, she was about to take a bite, but she found that something rubbed her lips, and when she looked down, she found that there was a small piece of paper clipped, and she was shocked, so she quickly pulled it away.

Fortunately, she was upset, and the maids were kicked out by her.

The note reads: "Cold, morning, warm sun and moon." ”

Xia twisted his eyebrows and thought, I don't understand what this note means?

Crushed all the pastries in the plate, found that there was nothing else, pondered in her heart repeatedly, and suddenly her eyes flashed with excitement, she knew.

Cold, refers to the cold of summer, morning, refers to the ancient dust, the sun and the moon are warm, refers to tomorrow?

I was sure in my heart again, it must be this meaning.

Yan Xue saw that Ding Xiang was gone, and slowly turned the topic around the Xia family, pretending to ask casually: "Does the husband know about the Xia family?" ”

"That Xia family?"

"It's Aunt Xia's house in the house."

Gu Ruochen frowned, looked at Yan Xue, and said with a touch of deep inquiry in his tone: "Why did Yan Er suddenly ask about the Xia family?" ”

Yan Xue smiled, looked at Gu Ruochen frankly, and said, "I went to the Xia family's courtyard a few days ago, and we chatted unintentionally, so I asked." ”

Gu Ruochen looked away, his heart was a little solemn, and he was a little solemn for a long time: "The Xia family was raided, and the Xia family also has an elder brother who was sent to the frontier. ”

Yan Xue was stunned, she really didn't expect Gu Ruochen to say this, this is the most basic information, not even an understatement, "What else?" ”

"Actually, their brothers and sisters survived, not because anyone interceded, and the emperor wanted to spare their lives," Gu Ruochen didn't understand why Yan Xue was suddenly interested in the affairs of the Xia family.

Yan Xue thought about it, after all, if the emperor didn't let go, whoever pleaded for mercy would be in vain.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Then if Xia Xiuhan escapes back from the frontier, what will be the consequences?" ”

Gu Ruochen's eyes flashed with a cold light, looked at Yan Xue with a little more inquiry, and said: "The consequences are very serious, without the emperor's will, he will be sent to death when he comes back." ”

Listening to Gu Ruochen say this, he knew how dangerous Xia Xiuhan's current situation was, and it was a dilemma to have the emperor further and the Liu family to take a step back.

Yan Xue settled down and said, "Isn't there any other way?" For example, the emperor suddenly discovered that the Xia family was wronged, and Xia Xiuhan was forced to return to Beijing? ”

When Gu Ruochen heard this, he suddenly looked at Yan Xue, his eyes flashed with a faint fierceness, and he said in a deep voice: "How does Yan Er know that the Xia family has been wronged, how do you know that the man's name is Xia Xiuhan?" ”

Yan Xue looked at Gu Ruochen, a touch of cunning flashed in her eyes, she deliberately said this, Gu Ruochen would know about Xia Xiuhan sooner or later.

Blinking his eyes: "Because I saw a man, he said that his name was Xia Xiuhan, and Aunt Xia in the house was his sister, and he really wanted to see his sister." ”

When Gu Ruochen heard this, he couldn't help but be a little shocked, caught the cunning in Yan Xue's eyes, and suddenly remembered an incident that Lei had reported to him a few days ago, saying that on the day Yan Xue went to Shangshu Mansion, there was a child who behaved strangely when he came out, and then Yan Xue went to a place and came out after a while.

Since Xiao Qi'er's death, there has been an unusual movement in the capital, who the man in black is, he doesn't know yet, and the capital has been in some chaos recently, so he asked Lei to pick a person in the secret position, secretly protect Yan Xue, and report to him immediately if there is anything unusual.

When he heard it that day, he had some doubts in his heart, but Yan Xue didn't say anything to him, and there was nothing abnormal, so he dispelled his doubts.

Now Yan Xue said that she saw Xia Xiuhan, which surprised him, what did this little woman do without him?

Gu Ruochen looked at Yan Xue solemnly: "How did Yan Er know Xia Xiuhan?" ”

He was afraid that Yan Xue would be taken advantage of.

"It's that after falling off the cliff, I met Xia Xiuhan when I went to Beiqi," Yan Xue decided to tell a little lie first, she looked at Gu Ruochen's attitude, she couldn't say it all at once, after all, the person behind the scenes was the Liu family.

As soon as Gu Ruochen heard Yan Xue say the word "falling off the cliff", he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the pain last time he had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and it was also the first time in his life that he knew what fear was and what loss was.

"The last time you came out of Shangshu Mansion, it was to see Xia Xiuhan?"

Yan Xue's eyes widened suddenly, "How do you know?" ”

"Xiao Qi'er is dead, because her husband is not worried about you, so he will find someone to protect you secretly," Gu Ruochen said softly.

Knowing that Gu Ruochen was not spying on her, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Qi'er is dead?

Yan Xue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart?

As for how Xiao Qi'er died, she didn't want to know.

"I want Aunt Xia to meet Xia Xiuhan, in fact, their brother and sister are quite pitiful," Yan Xue automatically bypassed the topic of Xiao Qi'er, because when she talked about Xiao Qi'er, she would think of "Qi'er".

When she thought of the beggar, her mood was a little dull.

Maybe it's time to explain to Gu Ruochen that she is not a beggar.

Gu Ruochen was silent for a while, seeing that Yan Xue didn't care about Xiao Qi'er's affairs at all, a gloom flashed in his eyes, and Yan Er must have blamed him for recognizing the wrong person.

With a hint of guilt in his eyes: "What do you want to do?" He knew that Yan Xue already had an idea.

Yan Xue saw the guilt in Gu Ruochen's eyes, and there was a dull pain in her heart, and she squeezed out a smile, and said: "I need your help in this matter, the Xia family will leave the house tomorrow, but I can't find a suitable reason, I am afraid of being suspected, so it should be better for you to come forward." ”

In this mansion, she only trusts Gu Ruochen, and it is impossible for the Liu family to suspect Gu Ruochen's head at once, even if she is suspicious, for Gu Ruochen, the Liu family will think twice.

"Why did Yan'er choose to be a husband?" If Xia went to beg his father, his father would definitely agree.

"Because I suspect that the thing that made me fall off the cliff this time is not simple, and the mastermind behind the scenes may be the people in the house," Yan Xue pretended to be cautious and said, she didn't know how to say so many things, so she said it little by little, and when Gu Ruochen figured it out for herself, she was saying it all.

When Gu Ruochen heard this, a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at Yan Xue, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he always felt that Yan Xue had a lot of things to hide from him.
