After arranging for Xu Ruliang to return to Qingxinju first, Qi Diaoyan'er turned to Xu Qi and said, "I don't know when Brother Chong'er will wake up, it's not a way to wait like this, the concubine will serve you to go back to the upper room to rest for a while, right?" ”

Xu Qi had just returned home from the court, and he hadn't even taken off his court clothes, so he rushed over first when he heard that his son had an accident. I also felt a little tired at the moment, so I nodded, got up and walked out.

The lacquer carved smoke stepped up to follow.

Mama Wang nodded, indicating that she understood the mind of the lacquer carving smoke and knew what to do.

Qidiao Yan'er shook her head and snorted at Zhang's mother, who was kneeling on the ground. They don't have to worry about it, Zhang's mother must be more anxious than them to confess with Xu Chong. When the time comes, they just sit and reap the profits without touching the leaves.

Mama Wang suddenly realized, quietly gave a thumbs up, and walked out of Hongxuan after Xu Qi and Qidiao Yan'er with peace of mind.

Two people came out from behind the poplar forest outside the seat.

Xu Ruliang bent the corners of his mouth and said innocently: "I've rested enough, let's go back to Qingxinju." "The eyes are shining and shining, and the look is radiant, how can there be the weak shadow of the unconscious just now?

Fei Xiang said happily: "Do you feel better?" ”

Xu Ruliang nodded: "It's a lot." ”

Fei Xiang hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Then can you hold on a little longer now and go back to the second master's house to guard?" ”

"Why?"

"Think about it, now that you have left Hongxuan, the prince who presides over justice has also left Hongxuan, in case the second master wakes up during this period and someone teaches him to collude confessions, then you have no evidence, and you can't say clearly."

has dealt with Qidiao Yan'er, Zhang's mother and others for many years, and she can still see through this trick.

In this regard, she is stronger than Xu Ruliang.

Xu Ruliang was protected by them wholeheartedly when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was instilled with the idea that "the Xu family does not fight infighting", and Mu Lianxuan did not accept concubines for a long time, so he had no actual combat experience of "fighting in the nest" at all.

But Xu Ruliang is not without experience in struggle, and she has a lot of dealings with Mrs. Fate.

It's just that they were all exchanges of swords and guns, and they had never been exposed to these ghost tricks at all, otherwise how could they have neglected to take precautions in their previous life and died tragically at the hands of Xu Ning?

You know, no serious lady will use the despicable means of "incense"!

I don't know how the lacquer carving family, which advertises "poetry and books", could teach a poisonous woman like lacquer carving Yan'er? Moreover, this poisonous woman also ruined the boudoir of their Xu family's daughters and taught Xu Ning to the point that she was not in the stream.

Thinking of all kinds of grievances and hatreds, Xu Ruliang involuntarily clenched his fists.

One corpse, two lives, this revenge is not in vain and reborn!

But now is not the time.

It is vain to say that the ambition and nature of this poisonous mother and daughter have not been exposed at the moment, she has no evidence, even if they are exposed, for the sake of the stability and unity of the Xu family and the prestige and interests, the father will never come forward for her to abolish his wife and kill his wife.

Especially in the past few years, the Xu family is in the most sensitive period.

Even for the sake of the eldest aunt who is struggling to support herself in the palace at the moment, she has to temporarily hide her hatred and think about it in the long run.

Anyway, what she does best is patience.

What's more, right now, compared to defeating the poisonous woman, mother and daughter, she still has more urgent things to do - she has to save the lives of her brother and grandfather, and then investigate the truth about her mother's death......

Xu Ruliang put away his mind and nodded clearly.

Fei Xiang said: "Then you ......"

"I'm tired and want to go back to sleep first."

Xu Chong won't wake up until noon on the third day, even if she wants to stay here, how long can she stay?

Otherwise, why did she pretend to be unconscious just now?

Although Fei Xiang was worried about collusion, he was more concerned about Xu Ruliang's body, squatted down and patted his shoulder, and said, "If you feel panicked by holding it, just use it on your back." The slave walks slowly, making sure not to turn you upside down. ”

Just now, Xu Ruliang said that she was in a panic and asked to rest behind the tree.

It's just an excuse, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously and take it to heart.

Xu Ruliang felt warm, more warm than the evening breeze of this spring, and said with a smile: "How can it be so delicate?" Let's walk back slowly. ”

It's also just right to blow the wind, scatter your mind, and think about countermeasures.

Although it has been delayed for the time being, the problems that will come will still come......

After thinking about it, I unconsciously walked to the edge of Jinshui Lake.

There are two lakes in the back garden of Pingyang Palace, one is called Jiyue Lake, adjacent to the Yanyue slope of Beishan, which is the place where Xu Chong fell into the water, and the other is Jinshui Lake.

Jinshui Lake is located in the deep back section of the inner courtyard of the palace, is a shallow beach in the shape of lotus leaves, because whenever the sun rises and sets, the sun falls on the surface of the lake, forming a golden sparkling waves.

The lake crosses a white marble covered bridge from east to west, and there is a small pavilion with eaves and corners in the center, the golden water pavilion.

Xu Ruliang liked to come here to play when he was a child. Every time the court is off, her brother doesn't have to go to the palace to go to school, so he will teach her to play chess, play the piano, paint red, and paint here......

I don't know if the question with my brother's handwritten annotation is still in its original position?

Xu Ruliang walked towards the covered bridge, but suddenly stopped moving.

Ten years of life and death, at this moment, I have returned to my hometown, and suddenly there is a kind of hesitation of homesickness.

Fei Xiang thought that she was afraid of getting close to the water because Xu Chong fell into the water, so she comforted gently: "If you lead the slave and maid to the middle, even if the wind blows over, it can't blow away." ”

Xu Ruliang was stunned and smiled.

Yes, she's eight years old now, where is there anything wrong with her?

Ride Fei Xiang up the bridge.

On both sides of the bridge floated lush water hyacinth and many rootless wanderers, deep shades of green connected into a lush green patch, covering the clear water of the lake.

Walking on the bridge is like wandering in the green sea.

The breeze blows slightly, carrying the fresh air of the lake, which makes people feel refreshed.

Fei Xiang relieved her boredom and said, "Don't look at the only green now, in fact, there are lotus roots, water chestnuts and horseshoe grown." In the summer, flower bones emerge in the middle of the green leaves. In the middle of summer, lotus flowers and rhombic flowers bloom in unison, red, white, and pink. ”

Xu Ruliang has never seen the scenery of Jinshui Lake in the middle of summer.

Every June, she and her brother would leave Kyoto to stay with her grandfather in Shaoyang, and would not return until late autumn. At that time, only the remnants of the lotus and the dead branches were left in Jinshui Lake.

But it's not like she's never seen lotus flowers in the middle of summer.

Lotus flowers are rare in Xingqing City, Ganning Road, the northwest imperial capital, but in Shaoyang City, Huguang Road, the land of fish and rice full of lakes, can be seen everywhere, and there are many varieties.

In the middle of summer, the smoke waves on the continuous lotus fields are vast, and the crimson green reflects each other......

Xu Ruliang raised the corners of his mouth: "That must be beautiful." ”

"Not really!" Fei Xiang saw that she was happy, and she also rejoiced, and she talked more: "How does a poet praise her, what lotus leaves are green, lotus flowers are red......"

Xu Ruliang smiled: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red." ”

"Yes, that's it." Fei Xiang said happily.

She is a good hand when she is in charge, but she does not dare to compliment this poem.

Xu Ruliang shook his head: "The little Jinshui Lake is worthy of it." Probably only the vast lakes in the water towns south of the Yangtze River are worthy of this poem. ”

Fei Xiang was born in Shaoyang, but he came to Xingqing with his parents when he was a child, and he has long forgotten the scenery in the south.

There was no word for a while.

But I heard a few refreshing laughter and applauding applause from the Jinshui Pavilion.

A slightly immature strange male voice said: "Xu Dashizi, concede, concede!" ”

Fei Xiang sighed suspiciously, and muttered incomprehensibly: "The prince should know that the county lord had an accident, why didn't he go to visit the county lord, but instead entertained guests here?" ”

Xu Ruliang was stunned.

She always felt that something was missing just now, but now she suddenly remembered that it was her brother.

In his previous life, his brother and his father went back to the house together, and his father went directly to Hongxuan, and his brother went to Qingxinju first to find her, and then stayed by her side.

But today, my brother was unexpectedly entertained here.

It must not be that the guest is more important than her, but because of her special status, she has to be entertained by her brother in person.
