The last rays of the sunset on the horizon have dispersed, leaving only the smoky blue clouds and haze, which are gradually obscured by the darkness.

Xiao Gu hurried out, letting the door behind him collide with each other.

Out of sight and out of mind, she took a deep breath and gradually regained her composure.

The scene of the red note was made for her to see, but Jingyu did not push it away, and the intimacy and tacit understanding between the two pierced her heart like a needle.

It may not be that they really have a personal relationship, but they must have some kind of common secret between them.

What the hell are these two people up to? What kind of planning and layout? What are you going to do? Xiao Gu didn't have a clue about this, but the hidden worry in her heart gradually came to her heart—was it really right for Jin Lan to follow in their footsteps and let so many brothers and sisters join in their deceitful schemes?

There are thousands of thoughts in her heart, and what comes to her mind is the corpse of her father hanging for public display, the miserable and depressed lowly female dependent, and the other time Jingyu's resentful and frantic eyes, and the sarcastic and cunning look of the red note......

Where is the big ship of Jinranhui going? What exactly should be done in the future?

In contemplation, she shuddered, and then realized that it had been a long time since she had stood under the peach tree in the courtyard.

The next moment, a crane with a snow-green feather crepe face and a white fox skin was draped on her shoulders, and when she looked back, she was seeing Qin Yao's quiet and dedicated eyes.

"You're finally back safely."

He leaned over, tied the strap of the collar buckle for her, and said softly: "Every time you go on a mission, I have a heart hanging in my heart, not to mention that this time I went deep into the edict of Jinyiwei first...... Promise me not to take such a risk next time. ”

Xiao Gu looked at him with a smile, "They can't help me, Seventh Brother, don't treat me as a weak woman who is powerless...... Besides, this is the big brother's plan, and you should also trust his wisdom and plan. ”

"I heard the sixth brother talk about the whole process - although he was lucky, he also went wrong in the middle, and he was almost caught."

Qin Yao's eyebrows showed deep wrinkles. staring at her smile, he said meaningfully: "If someone is often worried about your loss and fearing that you will be injured, then he must care about you very much; In the same way, if a man doesn't care about a woman, he often thinks that she is powerful and omnipotent. ”

Xiao Gu burst out laughing, "I know that Brother Seventh Brother is good to me and always takes me to heart." ”

However, she chewed on the second half of Qin Yao's sentence, but felt that he meant something, "You think." Big brother - Ah Yu, he didn't take me to heart? ”

Qin Yao shook his head lightly, "I can see the affection for you in his eyes, but you should also know what is the most important thing in his mind - not you, nor Jin Lanhui, but that unforgettable hatred." ”

This sentence hit the bull's-eye, straightforward, but it made Xiao Gu's face turn pale, and his red lower lip was bitten tightly by his teeth. still tried to defend the man, "The revenge of killing my father is not shared, and Ah Yu grew up with his father, it is like the sky is falling." ”

"I'm not saying revenge is wrong. It's his eagerly aggressive approach that makes people uneasy. ”

Qin Yao squinted his eyes, feeling as if he was saying bad things behind his back, and his expression was even more melancholy, and he hesitated for a long time. Only then did he answer, "I'm just afraid that one day in the future, Jin Lan will be affected by him." ”

This sentence is even more bloody and piercing Xiao Gu's heart. said what was on her mind, but under the hidden pain, she retorted excitedly: "I will watch him, stop him, and I won't let him go any way!" ”

"He still cares about you, but can this care make him change his deepest and heaviest obsession?"

After saying this, Qin Yao patted the peach blossom petals on her shoulder, sighed lightly and left, leaving only Xiao Gu, looking at his figure in the center of the courtyard.

The window of the Lanxiang Pavilion on the second floor was closed, and there was a faint laughter like a silver bell, which penetrated into Xiao Gu's heart like poisonous smoke, igniting the anxiety and irritability in her heart.

****

Returning to the Hou Mansion's room listlessly, Xiao Gu unexpectedly saw Qin's mother and Chu Lan in the room, the two of them were snorting melon seeds on the low stool next to the bed, seeing her come back, Qin's mother's eyes lit up, and she pushed Chu Lan, "I'm a little thirsty, you go and bring a pot of water." ”

Although Chu Lan has a straightforward personality, she is not a fool, and when she saw this, she immediately understood that the two of them had something to say, nodded to Xiao Gu and turned to leave.

"You have been living with your fellow villager for a few days, have you ever asked him to find his relatives?"

This was an excuse for Xiao Gu to think of a good idea, but at this time she smiled without changing her face: "I still have no clue, but I have seen a lot of fellow villagers, everyone is a boat servant and a craftsman to make a living, and life is very difficult." ”

Mother Qin also sighed, "It's good to use a thunderous method today, everyone who supported his nephew back then has ended up miserable, and those who have seven relatives and eight relatives are also unlucky." ”

Xiao Gu smiled bitterly and responded - although she fell into the lowly status, she tried to tamper with the identity documents several times, and now her identity record is no longer the daughter of Hu Yan, the former Dali Temple, but the daughter of a petty official relative who was implicated for no reason.

Mother Qin is still babbling to explain Xiao Gu, "But your hard days are coming to an end, and there are rumors on the street that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and generous, and he will definitely pardon a large number of lowly sins in the future!" ”

Xiao Gu was taken aback and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

"I don't know what to say, but the people who live on the streets outside the house are coaxing the rumors, and everyone is talking about it these days, seeing that this is true, right?"

Xiao Gu felt a pang in his heart, and intuitively felt that this matter was very wrong - even if the prince really had the heart to pardon, it was also after he ascended the throne, although he was old but still in good spirits, and he was dissatisfied with the prince, if the prince threatened to pardon the sinners condemned by his father at this juncture, unless he was really crazy!

There's a lot going on here!

Somehow, Xiao Gu's eyes appeared Jingyu's cold and cruel smile, and the delicate and sarcastic sneer of the red note leaning on his arms—did this rumor have anything to do with the two?

Inexplicably, Xiao Gu felt that his heart was a little messy.

Mother Qin felt that she was worried, but she didn't think it was strange, so she continued to persuade her: "Even if you want to be pardoned, it will have to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, and it is unknown when you will have to wait!" ”

After speaking, she immediately realized that she had said something rebellious, and hurriedly smashed her mouth to look left and right, and then slapped herself hard, "Look at my mouth-of course, the Holy One wants to live long live!" ”

Xiao Gu laughed and bent over, the depression in her heart was also reduced a lot, Qin's mother glared at her, but she didn't say anything - when it comes to her heart, she really doesn't have a good impression of Zhu Di today, but because Mrs. Zhang's maiden family is inclined to Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and the reason why the second-room couple who bullied and framed her is noble is because they have won the favor of Jinshang.
