"How can it be so, so suddenly?" Su Qi grabbed Xuanwu Yicheng's sleeve and asked anxiously.

"The emperor's uncle was captured by Murong Qin in the Jiu Nengguo Temple, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army changed to the Marquis of Xicheng today, but now the Marquis of Xicheng is suddenly unconscious, and there is no one in the imperial capital who can preside over the overall situation." Xuanwu Yicheng pulled Su Qi up, and casually put the cloak placed next to the tooth bed on Su Qi, and then said: "The general situation is like this, and I can't talk to you about it now." ”

"Quick, you come with me!"

It wasn't until she walked to the gate of the black lacquer gold silk nan wood carving that Su Qifang came to her senses, she looked at Xuanwu Yicheng and asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

At this moment, she thought of killing!

After suddenly learning that Murong Qin was using herself, deceiving herself, and deceiving and even killing Chu Qing's parents, her mind was full of bloody scenes.

"Murong Qin was able to capture the emperor's uncle so easily, it must have been premeditated, and now that the enemy and I are unknown, you should go to my Xuanwang Mansion to hide first." Xuanwu Yicheng said with a straight face.

Su Qi immediately stopped.

"I'm not going." She looked at Xuanwu Yicheng and said word by word, "Where is my grandmother, where is my Su Qi." ”

"Su Qi, now is not the time to be willful, you listen to me, Murong Qin has long harbored hatred in his heart to make such a crazy move today, and you should have known what happened back then, everything started because of your mother, and your father's death ended, whether it was Concubine Huo Niangniang back then, or Huo Mansion, who was in power and opposition, they all died because of this. Whether Murong Qin can distinguish between right and wrong, and whether he can let you go after learning the truth, none of us can guarantee. ”

"If you are worried about Old Madam Su, then let Old Madam Su go to Xuanwang's Mansion to take refuge, and once the situation stabilizes, you can come back."

Speaking of this, Xuanwu Yicheng quickly glanced out the window, and after being sure that the secret guards sent by Murong Qin had been evacuated, he whispered in Su Qi's ear: "The Green Ant Tower of Xuanwang Mansion has a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the imperial capital. ”

Su Qi's eyes widened and he looked at Xuanwu Yicheng.

She was surprised, but not surprised that Xuanwu Yicheng had secretly cultivated such a secret passage. It's because Xuanwu Yicheng actually wants to gain his trust. In order to protect himself and his grandmother, he told her about the secret passage he left for his life, an orphan of a general.

She, Su Qi, was a friend who was closer to the famous His Royal Highness King Xuan than a friend, and she didn't expect him to believe in herself so much.

Su Qiyi directly covered Xuanwu Yicheng's mouth with one hand, and she nodded and said, "Needless to say." I believe in you. ”

Then Su Qiyi pushed the door open. Chu Qing and Chensu, who came in a hurry, were guarding outside the hospital vigilantly. After seeing Su Qi and them, Granny Chensu ran over directly.

"Mrs. Su already knows, and asks the lady to show it."

Chu Qing had already followed.

"Banxiang went to accompany him. Brought Chu Xin over, I have ordered all the Jianghu knights I invited last time to go to Changfeng Hall, whether the two ladies of the Su family and the old lady of the Su family need to be informed, and ask the lady to decide. ”

Su Qi nodded with satisfaction.

It has been less than half a pillar of incense since he learned the news, and he couldn't imagine that Granny Chensu and Chu Qing beside him could make such a proper arrangement, which really surprised Su Qi. Needless to say, Mother-in-law Chensu has been taking care of her for many years, and naturally everything is more comprehensive and meticulous than that girl of Banxiang, and she is very thoughtful.

It's just that she didn't expect Chu Qing to be so alert, and she told her grandmother as soon as possible, and she was afraid that her grandmother would be too worried about letting Banxiang take Chu Xin to accompany her, just in case, but let those Jianghu knights protect Changfeng Hall, Su Qi thought, I'm afraid that I can't think of such a comprehensive way even if I can't think of such a comprehensive way at this time.

Su Qi couldn't help but look at Chu Qing gratefully.

"Very well, you come with me to Changfeng Hall. In addition, immediately notify the two ladies of the Su family to come to Changfeng Hall. The latter words were addressed to the rough envoy who came with her.

At this critical moment, she couldn't let Granny Chensu or Chu Qing take this risk.

In a short time, everyone arrived.

Su Sanniang was okay, her face was calm, but Su Siniang had already cried and hid beside Mrs. Su.

"Mother, are these things true?" You asked.

In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the rough envoy of Linyu Pavilion knocking on the door, if it wasn't for the fact that I met the mother-in-law of Changfeng Hall who came to urge me halfway, I was afraid that You Shi and the second master of the Su family would still be working hard in their yard for a long time.

Master Su and Second Master Su each sat on the large open chair carved by Jinsi Nan wood, Master Su had a dark and calm face, and Second Master Su couldn't help yawning.

"If you want me to say, this emperor Lao Tzu fights, we inconsequential characters can't affect it, as long as we stay in our own mansion in peace, even if we change the new emperor, what can we do, will it be possible to drive us out of the mansion? Did you say, His Royal Highness King Xuan? Second Master Su said loudly.

Since he learned that his daughter Su Siniang was going to marry His Royal Highness King Xuan as a side concubine, the second master of the Su family was happy to the sky, not only the wealthy nobles of the entire south came to congratulate, but in less than half a month in the imperial capital, our second master of the Su family also went to publicize every once in a while, the golden silk and ink customized by the Imperial Ink Pavilion in the imperial capital, the customized golden silk phoenix luan wedding dress in the Imperial Brocade Workshop, and even the jewelry of the Baibao Pavilion, the banquet of the Seven Immortal Pavilion, the second master of the Su family came to the door one by one to talk about things, not to mention the Imperial Brocade Workshop, The two families of the Imperial Ink Pavilion are the family industries of the Su Qi Wai family's palace, and after hearing the origin of this Su Second Master, it is natural that the Second Master Su will give whatever he wants, and all of them are provided for free, not to mention the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and the Seven Immortal Pavilion, the threshold of the Imperial Capital General's Mansion has to be guessed by these outsiders these days, and later even a lot of matchmakers came to try to ask the Su family if there are any other ladies to marry, if it weren't for the news two days ago, Mrs. Su got the news and scolded two sentences, I'm afraid that this Second Master Su will be shouting everywhere now.

Unexpectedly, in front of everyone, Second Master Su actually put up the score of "father-in-law". Don't talk about others, even Su Siniang also sank her face. She didn't tell her parents the real reason why His Royal Highness King Xuan wanted to marry her, she only said that she was trying to get along on the hunting ground. His Royal Highness King Xuan was very fond of her, and he didn't expect the edict of the Queen Mother to come down the next day.

Old Madam Su swept over with cold eyes, and Su Qi couldn't stop the black line.

You Shi tugged at the sleeve of Second Master Su, and said with a smile: "Please forgive His Royal Highness King Xuan, our master drank two more cups in the afternoon." ”

Xuanwu Yicheng only glanced at it, and then didn't answer, he turned to Old Madam Su and told his concerns, but he didn't say anything about going to his Xuanwang Mansion to avoid it with Su Qi.

There's no other reason for that. Superfluous people are not welcome in the Xuanwang Mansion.

Old Madam Su looked at Su Qi. Seeing that she nodded, Fang Cai said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan has considered it carefully, although the General's Mansion has not asked about the affairs of the court for many years, after all, it has a lot to do with the past affairs of the previous dynasty. The times are turbulent. Friend or foe are unknown. His Royal Highness King Xuan was able to stand up and speak for my General's Mansion at this moment, and the old body was very grateful. ”

Saying that, Old Madam Su stood up and prepared to salute.

I didn't want Second Master Su's words to take the lead.

"Mother. His Royal Highness King Xuan is going to marry our fourth mother in the near future, and in the future, he will be the son-in-law of the second room of the Su family in my general's mansion, and now I think more about the Su family, which is naturally right. ”

When the words fell, not only did Old Madam Su darken her face, but even Su Qi couldn't help it anymore.

Dare to love this second uncle who thinks he has become a relative of the emperor?

Su Qi stood up and said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan wants to marry the fourth sister, but that is also the decree of the Queen Mother, not to mention today, even in the future, the second uncle sees His Royal Highness King Xuan, whether it is in front of the person or after the person, I am afraid that I have to respectfully call 'His Royal Highness Xuanwang', the status of the royal family is not on our ordinary people's house, the difference in one word is often a completely different level and treatment, the second uncle is happy with this family business is naturally good, but if he is too happy, he is afraid that it is not necessarily a good thing!" ”

"You girl, you second uncle and I are also what you can say?" The second master of the Su family jumped up, pointed at Su Qi and shouted.

Murong Qin motioned for Shao Gong and them to step back and sit down on the throne himself.

The old woman said bluntly. The old lady was unceremoniously, "My Muli is young and ignorant, and he is a sincere child who lacks heart, but he let Prince Murong target him, and the old woman is short-hearted, so she rushed over with illness." ”

Murong Qin was stunned.

"Let me say bluntly, the third prince and my general's mansion have always had a deep enmity, although the past is unbearable, but it is a matter of human life! The old woman and I are already sick and crippled, but if the third prince still has any plans against my general's mansion, the old man will fight back with his life. The old lady looked excited.

"Back then, I could only watch my toddler being victimized by a traitor, but now under my nose, the old woman is willing to give up this old life and never let the past happen again, but the third prince is not dead?"

Murong Qin's expression was gloomy, and he knew that it was probably not a good thing for her old man to come here.

"The old lady was too worried, just because I had not cleared the remaining poison, so I bothered Mrs. Su to diagnose and treat her. The grievances of the previous generation, although I have been implicated to some extent, but the stakes are very high, and I have already been dealt with by my father, after many years, although I have a heartache, I have never had the heart to hurt others, and I hope that the old lady will investigate. He stood up and saluted her respectfully.

When he first looked for Su Muli, he knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect the old lady to be so ruthless. Didn't the secret guard's message say that she was an old man who was half-stupid and soft-hearted, and had not asked about the world for many years?

Why do you sing today's play?

"My Muli is young, and his medical skills are not enough, it is rumored by outsiders that it is too much, what a miracle doctor and a living Bodhisattva are all rumors, my wife's illness has not been good through her hands, the body of the third prince is not better than that of mortals, and the gold is very expensive, so don't be delayed by my family's seven mothers." The old lady decisively refused.

Murong Qin was helpless, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay." ”

"The old grievances in the past, the saint has already dealt with them, and I don't want to worry about it anymore, I hope that the three princes will remember today's promise, and if each other's well water does not interfere with the river water, they will be safe, if not, the old woman can accompany each other with her life at any time!" The old lady dropped such a sentence, and left without looking back.

And the tea on the table is still warm.

"Childe, this ......", Shao Gong's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't know what to do.

Murong Qin frowned, it was urgent, but such a figure appeared at the most critical moment, no one expected that the old lady who was seriously ill would have a great change in temperament, it seemed that ...... Things are getting trickier.

The beginning of June is the day of the concubine's sacrifice, if he can't rush back to the imperial capital before then. I'm afraid I'll have to spend another year in this Cen Prefecture......

Calculate carefully, how many years he has wasted......

Murong Qin's pale face flushed sickly from anxiety, and his deep eyes were full of pain and helplessness at this moment......

…………

At night, just after the hour, an uninvited guest waited in the small courtyard of the bamboo forest.

Xuanwu Yicheng's expression was calm, and the usual shallow smile at the corners of his mouth was evil and demonic, but the faint bloodshot at the corners of his eyes revealed his haggardness.

Murong Qin was neatly dressed, and he was playing chess pieces alone, and the lights were dim, stretching his figure for a long time.

"The third brother is so idle." King Xuan sat on the opposite side.

"It's just idleness. The fourth brother is late. He pushed over the clay pot filled with sunspots.

"Ben Wang is not good at chess. I won't have to fight with the third brother. King Xuan pushed back the clay pot and smiled reluctantly.

It had been more than twelve hours since the clue was discovered, and he had indeed arrived a little late.

From the general's mansion aster to the bamboo forest courtyard, it only takes a pillar of incense to turn over the ground. Yet it took him a whole day. During this period. He had locked himself in the house all the time. No eating, drinking, or sleeping for more than a day!

Sixteen years have passed, and it has been a full sixteen years since the Xuanwu royal family was used to use the "Curse Killing Technique", but he still remembers it clearly. The eager anticipation and remorse in the eyes of the emperor before his death,

"Cheng'er, you ...... Certain...... You must crack this technique, you must ...... To reproduce the ...... of offspring, the father ...... Wrong......"

Over the years, in order to find a way to crack it, in order to fulfill his father's last wish, and in order to avenge his mother's concubine, he traveled south and north under the pretext of playing and searched almost the entire Middle-earth Continent, but unfortunately he has not been able to find the book "South Water", but he didn't expect that it was in Murong Qin's hands.

But he was scared.

He was afraid that the final result would be that the "curse and killing technique" was unsolvable, and he was afraid that he would not be able to achieve the last wish of his father and queen mother in this life......

"The third brother is so bitter that the fourth brother is hidden." King Xuan smiled bitterly, his eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively, "Is it okay, let my brother take a look." ”

"Yes." Murong Qin put down the chess pieces in his hand, "It's not ......," he hesitated.

Xuanwu Yicheng's heart hung in his throat, "The third brother said directly, the fourth brother will definitely do his best." ”

"However, do you need the younger brother to resolve the prejudice between the third brother and the Duchess of the Kingdom?" He then asked, he had already received the message about today's events.

"No, it's not an overnight affair that I have a deep grudge with the General's Mansion." The corners of Murong Qin's eyes flashed helplessly, "What's more, the old lady has an upright temperament, and the fourth brother is afraid that it will be more difficult." ”

This matter is not trivial, and he does not dare to act rashly.

Xuanwu Yicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, isn't it good, this matter is related to the previous dynasty, and he is really not a little sure.

"Since the third brother brought the younger brother here, he must have something in his heart. The younger brother is eager to read and hopes that the third brother will speak out. ”

Murong Qin glanced at King Xuan, who was eager on the other side, "This first thing is very simple for the fourth brother. ”

"So, what about the second thing?" Xuanwu Yicheng raised his eyebrows.

Murong Qin's smile became deeper and deeper, "The fourth brother is straightforward, and this second and last thing is to ask the fourth brother to assist me in thoroughly investigating the Huo clan's extermination back then." He asked rhetorically, "Fourth brother, do you dare?" ”

Xuanwu Yicheng was stunned when he heard it, when the Huo clan went to the Zhulian Nine Clans because of treason with the enemy, this matter was related to the secrets of the Great Yue Kingdom, and it involved the Nanban, which was really not simple.

"Why don't you dare?" He chuckled wickedly, "In this world, there is really nothing that my brother does not dare." ”

Apart from...... Absolute ......

Therefore, he had to find a way to crack the "curse and killing technique" from "South Water" anyway.

"Third brother, what about the first one?"

"I want Su Muli, the name is right, go back to the emperor!"

Inside the house, the oil lamp was still bright, and the flickering flames were about to be extinguished, but Murong Qin's eyes were extremely firm......

On the second day, Xuanwu Yicheng left Cen Zhou alone before dawn, and there was a letter left in the purple garden, which was addressed to Qi Niang Su Muli, and there was only one piece of paper in it, which was taken from her in the Moli Garden that day, and there was nothing else to say.

Qi Niang sighed lightly, why did she expect to leave an explanation to King Xuan, who came to do her own thing, she really thought about it.

Banxiang stood outside the door with a bitter face, hesitating.

"Banxiang, why don't you go in?" Chensu came over with a pot of honey lotus leaf soup.

After this little girl came back from outside yesterday, she had a bitter and hateful face.

Banxiang was stunned for a moment, "Oh." I...... I'll go in. ”

Chen Su sighed lightly and then pushed the door directly into the house regardless of her, the lady has also been worried recently, and she has been displeased with the old lady, so she is even more anxious, she is worried and anxious, so she can't take care of anything else.

"Lady, the newly made honey lotus leaf soup is the best way to get rid of the fire in your heart."

Qi Niang was copying the scriptures and stopped writing, "Mother-in-law has a heart." Did your grandmother send it? ”

"Just delivered. The fourth lady tasted it and praised it for being delicious. Dust Su was overjoyed.

"Well, then I'll boil some more and send them to all the houses and courtyards." Qi Niang thought for a while and then added, "The lotus leaf is cold, and the uncle has a heart disease. Do not eat too much. ”

"Yes." Dust bowed and retired.

About a quarter of an hour passed. The half-incense outside the door just came in.

She immediately knelt down with a "poof". "Lady...... Lady ......", she choked up, but she couldn't say any more.

Qi Niang was taken aback. Hurriedly stepped forward to help the little girl up, "What's the matter, Banxiang?" ”

"But Shopkeeper Yu scolded you?" She asked with concern.

Yesterday just after noon, she went to deliver the embroidered three-foot cloud smoke brocade, but I heard that it was almost dark before she returned home, and as soon as she came back, she fell asleep under the pretext of being uncomfortable. Qi Niang was puzzled in her heart, could it be that the shopkeeper didn't like her own design.

After the half-incense was embroidered, she repeatedly checked that there was nothing wrong, the needle angle was fine and hidden, the embroidery thread color was elegant and bright, the koi coloring was fresh and free, the beauty embroidered was even more beautiful, and the new nine-tailed spirit fox green hosta between the green silk was more smart and fresh, and she also boasted about the little girl at that time.

"No, no, no." Banxiang wiped her tears and shook her head vigorously.

Qi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "What the hell is that?" ”

"Yes...... It's the handkerchief that has been snatched away, lady! Banxiang howled and cried, it was a relic left by the lady to the lady, and the mother-in-law had been treasured for so many years, but now it was snatched away by the disciples.

Qi Niang suddenly, it turned out to be for the green cicada wing silk handkerchief.

"I see, it's not a big deal, don't cry." Qi Niang comforted.

"Lady...... Got it? Banxiang was stunned, but she didn't ask the shopkeeper Yu for a long time, and the lady already knew!

"It's King Xuan, it's not robbed, it's bought." She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears from the little girl, "Don't feel distressed, find a good material another day, and I'll teach you to embroider something better, okay?" ”

"Huh?" Banxiang was even more puzzled, "But, this is what Mrs. left for the lady!" "It's not that she's rare, and I'm afraid that she won't be willing to love the lady?

"Well, I know, I'll have to come back if I have a chance." Qi Niang comforted, "However, you can't tell your mother-in-law that the Xuan throne is high and powerful, and it is not something we can compete with." ”

In other words, I don't want my mother-in-law to be in a hurry.

"yes, okay." Banxiang nods in understanding.

Qi Niang looked straight at it, took out a letter from her arms and handed it to her, "It's been inconvenient for me to leave the mansion recently, you send this to Prince Murong Qin." ”

"Yes." Banxiang wiped away his tears and reluctantly withdrew.

Qi Niang sighed, her grandmother never called her to go since she was forbidden, even if she took the initiative to go to acupuncture, she was turned away, and she was really angry with her.

On that day, it was true that she was too eager, but ...... But she didn't know why, once it came to Murong Qin's matter, she was extremely easy to get angry, even if she deliberately suppressed it, she couldn't suppress it.

King Xuan suddenly left Cen Zhou, and Prince Murong had no news at all, and she was now sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Can...... There were countless whys in her mind that she wanted to ask.

Why lie to me?

Why approach me?

Why use it for me?

Why do you deliberately deceive me?

Her chest swelled with doubts, speculations, resentment, and the sadness of being deceived and concealed.

Really...... The five flavors are mixed, indescribable, unclear, only self-knowing.

This morning, she wrote countless whys in her closed-door study.

But in the end, the letter sent by Banxiang only contained a prescription to suppress the poisonous fire, and she ...... after all I can't ask.

Thinking about it carefully, whether she is with Murong Qin or with Xuanwu Yicheng, they are just friendships, so why bother to talk deeply......

What's more, there is still a hatred between her and Murong Qin for killing their father and mother, they are destined to be enemies in this life, and they will only be enemies!

Qing left the courtyard, and Sanniang now wanted to know why, so she slapped her hard, "Slut, then you tell me why!" ”

Wu Niang was beaten to her knees and sat down, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, "My sister doesn't understand what my sister means." ”

"Don't understand?" , the corners of Sanniang's eyes flashed fiercely, "Then I'll beat you slut today until you understand!" She raised her hand and slapped her face a few more times.

Wu Niang couldn't dodge and was beaten, her cheeks were red and swollen, and more blood overflowed the corners of her mouth.

"Stop!" Da Lang, who rushed to hear the news, kicked the door open.

"What is the third sister doing?" He hurriedly helped Wu Niang up, and the pain in his eyes was obvious.

"Yo, the eldest brother is so fast, I guess I didn't have such a speed when I went to Chunmanlou to find Sister Yao's happiness." Sanniang's language was sarcastic.

Wu Niang was so ashamed that she hurriedly pushed away Da Lang's hand.

"Five sisters ......", Da Lang cares about chaos.

"It's better if the eldest brother is here, let's just ask the conversation together." Sanniang raised her eyebrows, "It was your bad idea that day, let the eldest brother ask the girl next to her grandmother, and it was the girl who complained to the second room later, you say, it's not you slut who framed me behind my back, who else can there be?" ”

"Third sister ......", Da Lang couldn't help but persuade him.

Wu Niang's tears fell, "My sister didn't, my sister didn't, Zipei's friendship with Chun Manlou Lu Ji was said by my mother's side, I also thought about it for a while, thinking that Xu was useful to inform the third sister, as for the rest, my sister really didn't know at all." ”

Wu Niang cried even more aggrievedly as she spoke.

Da Lang's heart was broken when he heard this, "The third sister, the fifth sister is still young, how could she know that these things must have been provoked by others." ”

"Hmph, I don't know.!" Sanniang gritted her teeth with hatred, "From the original proposal to obstruct my grandmother's return to the house to the later proposal of the girl's pendant, she has designed and planned this one by one a long time ago, and now she dares to talk to me with sharp teeth, quibbling and crying, see if I don't kill you!" ”

Sanniang rushed forward suddenly, punching and kicking Wu Niang, Da Lang was in a hurry, Aunt Wan, who was hiding in the backyard window, gritted her teeth and burst into tears, she couldn't stand it anymore, turned her back and ran out crying.

So, it didn't take long for even Changfeng Hall to be alarmed.

At the beginning of the day, the lights in the Changfeng Hall were bright, and the meals that had been prepared in the small kitchen were cold and reheated.

"Let's warm it up first, it is estimated that it will not be finished in a while." The housekeeper's mother-in-law commanded.

"Yes." The cook was anxious, "Can ...... I'm afraid this peach blossom assorted honey fish is ...... Fishy. ”

When the fish is cold, it has a fishy smell.

"Withdraw." The housekeeper's mother-in-law sighed, this matter is very big today, and the implication is widespread, and it is estimated that the old lady has no heart for dinner, "Prepare some official swallow ginseng soup." ”

"Yes." The cook stepped back cautiously.

The marble tiles of the main hall were full of kneeling, and sparse sobs came and went.

The old lady sat upright, her eyelids half-drooping, not angry and arrogant.

Fang Cai, the resentful Sanniang, the aggrieved Wuniang, and the cowardly Dalang all told the ins and outs of the matter, and the girl who had been locked up made a supplement.

Chen's heart is uneasy, whether it is Dalang Sanniang or Wuniang, she is the person in her big house, and now there is such an unfilial scandal, I am afraid that her mother will be to blame.

The eldest lord was annoyed and angry, first he did such a big rebellious thing, and now they are still fighting for it, which really disgraced his old face, it was his father's poor discipline, and he was useless. (To be continued.) )
