The Son of Heaven twisted the Buddha beads and closed his eyes to recuperate, his face was as straight as an old pine, and every wrinkle was profound and peaceful.

Miaoyin Mansion is some distance from Taicheng, but this time should have arrived a long time ago. The entire Jiankang dared to put the Son of Heaven aside and wait for a long time, and there was only this favored princess. This is just ordinary for Miao Yin, but the pampering and arrogance in today's situation can't help but make Vimo feel anxious.

He barely ate dinner, and at the moment he felt a faint stomach ache. He couldn't help but look at Cassia, but the old god who was in the same vein as the Son of Heaven was there, and he was also closing his eyes to recuperate.

Vimo had to look around again, and saw that the security had indeed been strengthened, and even the left and right screens and lampstands had been arranged with manpower, and he breathed a sigh of relief slightly—but for a moment he couldn't help but feel lonely and sad when he thought that the relationship between his father and daughter, and between his sister and brother had also reached such a point.

At this moment, he can only secretly pray that Miao Yin will not be confused.

At three o'clock, Princess Miaoyin finally arrived.

Hearing this, Vimo almost immediately bounced up, but the Son of Heaven said in a deep voice, "Sit down." ”

Vimore had no choice but to sit down again.

Miao Yin walked into the house without squinting. She was dressed in great wealth and luxury, her red brocade robe was overlapping and dragging to the ground, and her black hair bun was decorated with the swaying of the golden flower tree, reflecting the lights, and the treasure light was blurred. The four daughters of the Son of Heaven are all very well raised, and they may not be as good as Liuli and Ruyi in terms of beauty, but she is rich and bright, and her demeanor is all directions, and she lives up to the dignity of the princess, just like a peony in Jinghua when the flowers bloom.

She entered the house with a gait and no nervousness or weakness.

When he entered the house and saw Vimo, his long eyelashes drooped, and he first pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

Vimo's face immediately flushed, as if she had seen through her thoughts—it was his sister, a woman who was powerless, but he used all his body and soul to guard her because of Xiao Maode's words.

Miao Yin stepped forward and saluted the Son of Heaven.

Almost at the moment when she bent her knees, the two maidservants behind Miao Yin suddenly flashed forward and pounced on the Son of Heaven.

Although everyone had been prepared, they didn't expect Miao Yin to attack so quickly, and they couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Only one person pounced on one of the maidservants in time and grabbed her by the legs, restraining her. The other handmaiden was already near. Vimo was the closest to the Son of Heaven, and he was blaming himself for this great rebellion, and he couldn't be prepared for a while. Seeing the dagger in the handmaid's hand, he could only block the white blade with his bare hands.

He didn't practice martial arts in the first place, and his gait was chaotic in a hurry, so he tripped himself carelessly, and saw that the dagger was stabbing him in the throat, and he couldn't help but think, my life is over.

He could only close his eyes, but he felt someone press on his shoulder, and the dagger brushed against his neck.

He was pressed down on the knees of the Son of Heaven,

Sticky, hot blood fell on his face.

Vimo's mind went blank, and he opened his eyes without a master, and saw that the Son of Heaven had stopped the dagger with his left hand, and the blade was stabbing between his fingers. I don't know where the stab was, his whole hand was bloody.

The slippery blood of the Son of Heaven could not hold the assassin's hand firmly, and the assassin pushed the dagger forward with force. In desperation, Vimo could only roll over and crash into the assassin, and the assassin's body flickered, and the Son of Heaven took the opportunity to pick up the inkstone in his hand and slapped it in the assassin's eye. The Assassin covered his eyes with a screaming wail, and at that moment the attendants around him finally caught up and pounced on the Assassin to the ground.

Vimo had already fallen to the ground, and then he got up weakly, stammering and shouting, "Pass on the Imperial Doctor......

The voice of the Son of Heaven was still calm, "Don't move! He raised his hand to wipe the red mark on Vimo's neck, and when he saw that his left hand was in even more dire condition, he wiped it with his right hand. Seeing that Vimo only had a layer of skin on his neck, he threw him aside and strode towards Miaoyin.

Miao Yin watched quietly from beginning to end.

Everyone revolves around the Son of Heaven and Vimo, and no one remembers her as a rebellious princess for a while, but Miao Yin has no intention of running away.

It wasn't until the Son of Heaven walked towards Miaoyin that everyone finally remembered her. However, after all, she is the daughter of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is silent, and no one dares to take her.

The Son of Heaven stopped at Miaoyin.

When I looked closer, I saw that Miao Yin was already full of tears. But no one knows whether she cried out of remorse, fear, or the only flesh and blood in her heart.

The Son of Heaven raised his hand and slapped her hard, and only one slap caused her to fall to the ground.

Miao Yin clutched her cheeks and fell to the ground, crying silently with her eyes closed.

The Son of Heaven asked, "Who instructed you?" As soon as the words came out, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained, "You wolf-hearted and ungrateful thing, I have raised you to such a big age, but I have treated you poorly!" ”

This sentence woke up Miao Yin, and she was still in tears, and her eyes were already full of mockery. looked up at the Son of Heaven and said with a smile, "You raised me to such a big age?" Have you ever raised me for a day! ”

She stumbled to her feet, pointed at the Son of Heaven, and cried and laughed, "Do you think I don't know how my aunt died!" A-Niang is so sick, and you still blame her for those cheap women! Shengsheng forced A-Niang to death! She pointed to Vimo again, "Who do you think your mother is?" It's just a cheap girl, I can only kneel in front of my aunt and flatter things, just because I climbed into the master's bed, I think I can be on an equal footing with my aunt. You're just a slut's son! ”

"You killed my aunt...... she covered her face and cried, "You left our sisters in the care of your aunt, have you ever been to see us in the Hanrun Hall for so many years?" ”

"You said you didn't treat me lightly? But I cry so much and beg you, please don't marry me to Liu Jingyou, what did you say! You can't break your trust......" she laughed again, sarcastically, "am I such a thing?" When you don't use it, you can throw it aside, and when you can use it, you can give it to whomever you want. The kindness of father and daughter is not as heavy as your joke! ”

The Son of Heaven met her accusatory gaze, and couldn't help but raise his hand and slap her again.

Miao Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, but laughed again, like crazy, "Are you so afraid of telling the truth?" You are the only one who sees you and your two sons as human beings. What am I? It's just a dog you raised, and it's so strange that it bites you in turn! ”

The Son of Heaven was so angry with her that he couldn't speak, and only said, "Escort her out!" ”

No one dared to intercede for Miaoyin, so I didn't know who asked worriedly, "Where are you going?" ”

The Son of Heaven paused for a moment before he said, "Take it back to the princess's mansion...... Escort back to Shen's house. He finally relieved himself slightly, "Let Shen Daolin watch and dispose of it himself!" ”

Ruyi had a dream.

The dream was full of white snakes, the snakes were entangled and devouring each other, the snake body rolled from time to time, standing up into the air, and the whole palace city was like a pot for raising Gu.

She ran in fear and kept running. In the dream, it seems to be able to fly, but the body weighs more than a thousand catties, and once it stops, it will fall to the ground and be devoured by ten thousand snakes.

She anxiously looked around for Xu Si and Erlang, thinking of taking them to escape together, but when she pushed open the doors, she only saw more snakes and white bones, and she couldn't find them anywhere.

Her own steps were getting heavier and heavier.

She climbed to the high wall and wanted to rest, but suddenly saw that under the window in the distance, Xu Si was teaching Erlang to read, and the begonia flowers outside the window were blooming, calm and peaceful. The torrent of white snakes was blocked and was storming the courtyard gate, but they didn't know anything.

Ruyi opened his mouth to remind, but he just couldn't speak. She could only jump again, trying to get back to them, but her ankles were cold and slippery. She vaguely felt something roll up.

She turned back in horror and saw a snake wrapped around her leg and climbing up.

Ruyi screamed and fell to the ground, countless cold snake bodies sticky on her skin. She struggled to break free, falling deeper and deeper into the abyss of fear.

Suddenly, it was as dark as night. Ruyi felt naked lying on the ice and snow, curled up so that her long hair was all over her body, and she stiffly propped up her body to find a piece of clothing to cover her body. When I looked up, I saw two giant snakes with the thickness of rafters in front of me intertwined, fighting fiercely and devouring, and the snake scales rubbing and squeezing each other.

She couldn't help but hold her breath and tried to run away, but the snake had already spotted him, and her evil gaze suddenly stabbed at her.

The buzz in her head began - the faces of the two snakes were clearly Xiao Maode and Princess Miaoyin. Princess Miaoyin's face was contorted, as if she was suffocating. And Xiao Maode cannibalized her, but it seems that she is still not satisfied. He was staring at her. Ruyi locked her body hard and retreated, her hands groped on the ground, thinking that there must be a way.

The snake pounced, and she didn't know what she had caught in her hand, so she only raised her hand and stabbed it hard...... She thought she had been stabbed. The snake's belly stood in front of her, and there were countless scales on the snake's belly, and her face was reflected on each scale.

Blood flowed down the snake's belly.

Ruyi woke up violently.

The brocade quilt on her body was still neatly covered, but she inexplicably felt cold, and her limbs seemed to be frozen in ice, cold and heavy.

She sat up with the quilt in her arms, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and something sticky and warm flowed out. She lifted the quilt blankly and softly, only to see the red slowly soaked on the white silk pants.

The night sky is blue, and the sky is full of cold stars. Ruyi didn't know what time it was, but it was still early before dawn.

However, the lights were already on outside, and the warm orange light of the morning light reflected on the tent, and the silhouettes of people coming and going were clearly visible. From time to time, the sound of low conversation could be heard.

Ruyi knew - I am afraid that something had happened.

Her mind was dizzy and her body was weak. The pain in my stomach was as dull as if I had a stone. It's not unbearable, but it's also very heavy and uncomfortable.

And she was a little ashamed to see people, so she didn't get out of bed, but only whispered to someone.

Xu Si had already been taught in advance, so Ruyi didn't feel so panicked about the girl's menarche - but when she remembered that vivid dream, she remembered what she saw and heard on Chinese New Year's Eve, and her heart was depressed. For Xu Si's "adult", I can't help feeling disgusted and resistant.

She had passed her fourteenth birthday, and her first period was not abrupt. Xu Si had already instructed, so the things that should be prepared had already been prepared, and the palace ladies quickly helped her clean and replace them.

Because of her unbearable abdominal pain, the people below were busy preparing ginger soup. Ruyi took Mama Liu's hand and asked, "Mom, when is it?" ”

Mama Liu said, "It's three o'clock, it's still early, you can sleep for a while." ”

-- It was still in the middle of the night.

Ruyi asked, "Is something wrong, why haven't the people in the temple slept yet?" ”

Mama Liu was silent for a moment, and finally said, "...... His Majesty was assassinated, and Niangniang went to the front hall to serve, and she has not returned at the moment. Ruyi was startled and was about to get up, but Mama Liu hurriedly pressed her and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang just sent a letter back, saying that it is not important." Just rest well, recuperate, and ask to see you after dawn - and your majesty may not want to see the princesses. ”

Ruyi couldn't help but pause, thinking: Yes, she is not her biological after all, her father...... The Son of Heaven just doesn't want to see her.

She lost her mind. Mama Liu said in a low voice, "...... I heard that the assassin was brought in by the second princess, and His Majesty was very taboo. ”

Ruyi was stunned. Until she was stuffed into the quilt by Mama Liu, seeing that the lights were out outside, the people gently closed the door and went out. She realized in a daze that what Mama Liu hinted at her - Princess Miaoyin killed her father.

Her mind was full of confusion and confusion. What you see, what you see, what you hear, what you hear...... With the pain of her first period, she felt more and more confused. In the middle of the night, I had a fever. Gong E brought ginger soup to her, and she was startled when she touched her hot body. Hurriedly went to ask for a doctor and boiled medicine...... Tossed until the sky was about to dawn, and she fell asleep in a low-grade fever.

The morning class, rain or shine, after self-study of martial arts, was also interrupted on this day. She slept until noon and finally woke up, and because of her poor appetite, she barely ate a little white porridge.

Xu Si had already returned from the Chengqian Palace, and was about to take a nap after bathing and changing clothes, when he heard that Ruyi was sick and was busy visiting Ruyi's room.

Seeing Ruyi's palm-sized little face as white as paper, leaning on the head of the bed and closing her eyes to recuperate, her posture in the illness was weak and beautiful, and her beauty was difficult to hide, Xu Si couldn't help but be stunned - she was implicated by beauty all her life, and she suffered countless more than her peers. At this moment, I realized Ruyi's beauty, but I felt ominous first. But after a moment, this thought was replaced by love and pity.

She stepped forward and probed Ruyi's forehead, and Ruyi felt movement and opened her eyes.

When the four eyes met, Xu Si casually rubbed Ruyi's hair and asked, "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”

Ruyi nodded, his eyes were sour, and tears welled up. Thinking of the news the night before, he still asked anxiously first, "Auntie, how is Daddy?" Second sister, she ......"

Xu Si gently touched her cheek and said, "Your father is fine, it's just that the palm is cut, and there is a little cut between these two fingers." The wound was not deep, and the doctor had already cleaned and stitched it for him. After a pause, he added, "...... Your second sister has been sent to her uncle's house. ”

Ruyi nodded, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good......"

Xu Si asked, "What about you?" ”

Ruyi's tears snapped down, and her voice was low, "Me? Auntie, I'm so uncomfortable......"

It was rare for her to be so weak and coquettish, Xu Si couldn't help but smile and sighed, and rubbed her earrings, "You happened to catch a cold this time." As long as you take care of it, it won't be so uncomfortable next time. ”

Ruyi shook her head—she knew that her discomfort was not due to menstrual cramps and fever, but to her inability to express her thoughts. If there is anyone in this world that she can discuss, it must be only Xu Si. She didn't know how to speak, and was sorting out the matter when someone outside came to see her.

Xu Si saw that it was the person who left the Son of Heaven by herself, and she knew that Ruyi was worried about the injury of the Son of Heaven-after all, she had fourteen years of nurturing grace - so she did not avoid Ruyi and asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

The man opened his mouth and said, "...... Princess Myonne committed suicide. ”
