The black steed walked on the familiar way home, clattering, stringing the horn sound outside the city and the drum inside the city into a line, and gradually sent Xiao Hong, who had returned at night, back to the Jingguo Mansion.

The young man's heroic eyebrows were tied in a dead knot at the whispered voice of the maid Xiaoqiao, but the footsteps of pushing the door into the house alone were very light, like a thief.

It's been the second watch, but even if you come home late, there will still be a little warm candle burning in the inner room. Under the faint glow, the beautiful and lovely wife was busy with all kinds of work, waiting for him, enjoying herself.

"Why don't you light the lights?" , With the faint atmosphere in the room, Xiao Hong touched the window, his fingers probed Man Yun's forehead, and asked in a whisper.

The darkness and silence in the room made him afraid to light the lamp in fear, lest the moment the fire fold was brushed up, the hidden truth would fly.

The wife lying on the rocking chair didn't respond as if she was asleep, Xiao Hong's hand on her forehead was tighter, Xiujie's forehead was only slightly cold, but her fingertips went down further, but there was a more cold residual tear.

"Manyun!" , who was originally leaning down, simply half-squatted and half-stood on the edge of the chair, Xiao Hong lowered his head and leaned into Man Yun's ear, quickly filtering the possibilities of his wife suddenly being so sad.

After returning to Yunzhou, the reason why he often stayed in the army, Man Yun knew and understood. Considering Manyun's body, letting her drink as little as possible is just a small reason incidentally, mainly because of the military preparations that Luo Jing's father secretly confessed. In a world of frequent changes, every rear area may become the front line, and if you only care about the comfort of lying on the couch, it may make the whole family unable to live in peace.

The sensible Man Yun will not bother with these things, and that is because ......

Xiao Hong's thought flashed, and he gently persuaded: "Is it still about Brother Xiao Yu's disappearance?" A few days ago. Don't you still say that Brother Xiao Yu is a ghost, if there is no news, it is safer to hide it tightly?"

Being in Yunzhou, although the news of the Central Plains is a little delayed, as the base camp of the Xiao family, Yunzhou will always receive all kinds of military reports from all over the country, almost the same as Luojing. Xu Yu, who returned to Chuyang from Xiakou that day. He disappeared from the border of the puppet Chu more than a month ago, and it is said that he was questioned by the puppet Chu court and blamed by his father Xu Ne because of the escape from the Xiakou Palace that day, and he ran away with the anger of the torture, and now his whereabouts are unknown.

"Man Yun, I received another letter from the fourth brother from Lize today, complaining about the master. The fourth brother said that Xu Nesi was steady, and he was a treacherous man, and there was no sign of suspicion with Liu Taijun, the puppet lord of Chu, because of Xu Yu's affairs. Now the fourth brother is sending people to find Brother Xiao Yu before the pseudo-Chu people, so that it is convenient to ...... It is convenient to use the intermittent strategy. I have written to ask the fourth brother to try his best to open up to the master. As soon as the letter was sent, it occurred to me that you should write a letter to Master and help me beg him to show mercy to Fourth Brother's subordinates......"

Hearing that her husband brought back new news as promised, Man Yun, who had closed his eyes tightly and kept silent, hummed softly in his words, and responded, "I miss Master." ”

Just tell me why!

Xiao Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out his arms under Man Yun's elbows, and hugged his wife like a child, patted her on the back and coaxed, "If the fourth brother's side goes well." I can't say that the next time we go to Beijing, we can invite Master to the mansion as a guest, and ...... And Brother Xiao Yu ......"

I remembered that Master was not at all what he said he cared about. It's selfishly thinking about the medicines you took in your past and present lives! Man Yunfu lay on Xiao Hong's shoulder, his nose was sore, and he didn't feel the urge to cry.

The elixir he drank in his previous life has found its source in this life. Xiang Ling was ordered by his grandmother, Mrs. Zhou, and Xue Hezi should come from Xue Suxuan, who changed his name to Wang Suxue, and the medicine in this life was blocked by Manyin. And Yu Che. According to the speculation of his previous life, Man Yun thought it was He Minglan's masterpiece, but this time they met in the Xiao Mansion.

Back then, what kind of mood did my mother Du Shi feel when she watched her father Zhou Zhe come back from Mrs. Zhou with the medicine that prevented her from giving birth? Suddenly felt that there were some mothers and daughters who had the same fate. My brain turned and I thought of my mother who was now in Jiangnan, and the sadness that I had endured suddenly turned into tears.

"Manyun! Man Yun ......", the name was called in Xiao Hong's mouth over and over again, his hand stroked her long hair, her waist, and tried his best to comfort her sadness.

What did my father think? Did you feel the same sadness when you knew that your trusted mother was going to poison her beloved wife? But what if he didn't know anything, so what if he let his grandmother get his wish?

Man Yun's tears gradually subsided, and he used a little force to break away from Xiao Hong's embrace, sat down steadily, and stared at the pair of eyes that were flashing at her in the darkness with doubts.

"Xiao Hong! I...... I'm in a bad mood, not because of Master and Brother. But...... Perhaps, if I say anything further, you will find it ridiculous, but please listen to me carefully, okay? ”

A cold little hand tightly grasped Xiao Hong's palm, and Man Yun's eyes were full of determination, he took a deep breath and slowly opened his lips.

The woman's voice was still soft, but it was like an ice pick breaking through the air and hitting her ears, and the coldness coming from her fingertips was enough to penetrate her heart from the ends, making people want to die......

The sound of tables and chairs turning over frightened the small bridge hanging upside down on the poplar branches at the edge of the courtyard, and the two cyan silk ribbons around the arms were loosened, and the top of the head was about to touch the ground like an onion. Xiao Qiao, who was secretly annoyed by his hearing and was easily distracted, pouted, turned over and twisted the front, but before his toes landed on the ground, his ears heard Xiao Hong's shouting at the door of the upper room more clearly.

"Little Bridge! Get out of here! ”

The six-room couple has never left the maids around them to be on duty at night, and even because Xiaoqiao and others are sensitive to martial arts, they also ask them to stay as far away as possible at night. So on weekdays, a few of them are happy to be idle at night, but the small bridge practice is difficult to change, and they can't sleep in a good place, and they always climb trees and hang eaves at night to grab the territory of the owl bird. This is clear to both the master and the servant.

Guess there's something to do? The green silk that had not had time to be put away was scattered around his arms, and as soon as he got close to the small bridge that flew with wings, he saw the obvious anger on Xiao Hong's face, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips.

"No matter what, you have to check it out before you can make a conclusion! What is plain suspicion for no reason! After a few words of instruction to Xiaoqiao, Xiao Hong, who was standing by the door, looked back at Man Yun, and his red eyes showed resentment and annoyance towards his wife for the first time after getting married.

The person who made himself suspicious was his own mother! Zhou Manyun's hands in front of him were knotted with ten fingers, but his head was raised arrogantly, and he watched Xiao Hong gather the hands of people to take out of the door.

"You follow!" , Xiao Hong clenched his fists and whispered to his wife. He asked her to follow, not to advance and retreat together, but to prove her wrong.

A carriage quietly left the corner gate of the Jingguo Mansion under the cover of night, quietly drove through the streets of Yunzhou City, which had been curfew, and stopped at the entrance of Jibao Lane. A group of soldiers on patrol came to greet each other, and after checking the waist plate of the government shown by the chaseman, they quickly left as instructed.

There are several households in Jackpot Lane who have worked for many years, and although it is not common for people to come late at night to look for them, there are precedents.

It's just that in this quiet summer night, the visiting guests seem to be embarrassed to knock on the door, and the figures seem to be nighthawks passing through the air, and they all jump directly into the courtyard wall from the wall.

Cuiluo did not stay in the mansion, although it was quite hard to serve Mrs. Xu during the day, but when she returned to her own courtyard, she still did not sleep peacefully, but washed her hands and moved the small chair to sit next to the baby cranket, taking care of the fat grandson who had just been born.

She herself blossoms first and then bears fruit, and her daughter-in-law also follows the example, so that she is the first time to be a grandmother who holds her grandson, and she is reluctant to fake the hands of others.

Looking at the fat grandson's sleeping face, and then touching the lotus-like arms and legs, Cuiluo smiled happily.

There was a click on the pane behind her, and her grinning mouth suddenly fixed on her face, her mouth was tightly blocked by a handkerchief, and a pair of eyes involuntarily dilated the pupils, showing fear. Unable to scream or move, a large green silk was wrapping her from head to toe like a shroud.

At the same time, a tall man in a dark robe bent down and slowly stretched out his hands to the sleeping baby.

Cui Luo's two lines of turbid tears immediately flowed, and then, the green cloth covered her head and face, and as soon as she saw the weak sneak attacker's arms, she was carried across her shoulders.

It's simple and brutal!

Man Yun, who was asked to only watch from the sidelines, couldn't help but roll his eyes at the man who was about to pick up the swaddling clothes, pointed in a low voice, and then put his hands to the side again. Now this man's dissatisfaction with her is angry, and he refuses to let himself interfere in the trivial things that can be solved by using a little poison to induce a confession, so she can only wait for the conclusion.

He was taken captive from a room with only one light, but when he pulled back the green cloth that seemed to make people unable to breathe on his face, he was already in a cage-like torture cell. Cuiluo squinted and swept around, and when she could barely see the situation in the darkness in front of her, she immediately knelt on the ground through the railing, crying bitterly.

On the chair opposite was sitting Xiao Hong, who was dressed in black ink like a life-seeking Yama, and he was holding the swaddling clothes made by Cuiluo himself tightly in his arms.

"Aunt Cui's grandson is almost 100 days old, right? I had prepared a congratulatory gift for him! Xiao Hong lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head and said coldly: "But I don't want to, Aunt Cui gave me a big gift first." ”

"Sixth son! Please...... Please return the bolt brother to the slave first! Cuiluo, who was so frightened that she couldn't hear the sneer, took two steps forward and stretched out her hands to the child in his arms crying.

With a sneer, Xiao Hong reached out and picked up a tea bag from his side, and threw a long arc into the air and slapped it directly on Cuiluo's head. (To be continued......)
