"Seen him? What did he say? ”

Putting down the pen in her hand, Xiao Yao looked at "Master Chu" sitting opposite her with a deep brow.

If you want to complain, why don't you go to her "Brother Wenyuan", why do you always come to stimulate her to live a middle-aged, childless and lonely family?

Chu Qingruo lost her mother in her early years, and now she meets Xiao Yao, although she is a little older than her, she is much younger than her mother. However, her temperament is old and calm, Chu Qingruo has been a teacher and friend with her all the way, and she feels the taste of her mother from her, and she can't stop eating the marrow.

Although Xiao Yao had also been tactful, direct, or angry, she was not old enough to be her mother, but she retorted with a smile: "You are the master who was given to me by Long live, you know, you are a teacher on this day, and a mother for life......"

Xiao Yao had a headache: "Isn't it a lifelong father?" ”

Chu Qingruo cheekily leaned up: "We are all women, how can we be fathers?" Be a mother, be a mother. In the future, I will let the iron clothes give you a pension! ”

Xiao Yao said angrily: "Isn't it a mother? Why don't you give me a pension yourself? ”

Chu Qingruo laughed: "You and I are close in age, how can we provide for you in old age?" ”

Xiao Yao: "Then you let me be my mother again?" ”

Chu Qingruo: "Stepmother, also mother......"

Xiao Yao: "......"

You are a lady in the court, is it really good to be a scoundrel in this way?

"Master~~"

Chu Qingruo's soft voice pulled her thoughts back to reality.

Unable to hold back her flattering smile, Xiao Yao deliberately coughed with a straight face:

"Ahem! What I asked you about the case, I am not curious about you and him, what are you calling Master? Hurry up and get the real recruitment, I have to hurry up and reply to Banzai! Deliberately turned his face away and ignored Chu Qingruo's tricks.

Chu Qingruo couldn't help but see her, so he had to honestly talk to Gao Bo in prison, pick out the words related to the case, and relay them to her in 1510.

After speaking, he sighed earnestly, hung his head, and waited for Xiao Yao's reaction.

After Xiao Yao listened, she turned around and asked very strangely: "Gao Bo's heart for you, should it really be Wenyuan to tell you?" ”

Chu Qingruo was depressed: "Yes, I wanted to pretend not to know, but he directly found out like this, I ......"

"Guilt? Or is it a weak heart? Or...... Are you secretly happy in your heart? Xiao Yao looked at her with a smile.

"How can there be so many ideas? Now that Gao Bo is in prison, and there are still many strange things about this matter, Master, do you still have the heart to laugh at me? ”

Chu Qingruo only lowered her head in frustration, shook it heavily, and sighed heavily when she thought that Xiao Yao was sitting on her side, and she might not be able to see it.

"Why do you feel guilty?" Xiao Yao asked knowingly, in order to untie her heart knot.

"I always feel that although I didn't deliberately invite the peach blossom, I deliberately kept silent, which invisibly hurt Wenyuan's feelings. But sometimes I think that since I have never taken these things to heart, why should I take the initiative to mention them to him in a cocoon, which will only increase his troubles and increase the suspicion between husband and wife.

I just thought about it and struggled again and again. Unexpectedly, he actually saw it in his eyes, why didn't he make me feel guilty? ”

Chu Qingruo picked up the teacup and used the tea lid to consider the tea foam in the filtered tea water, but he didn't drink it, just looked at the tea foam gathering in the water, stunned.

Xiao Yao shook her head: "You! Wenyuan, who is also a loss, is generous and trusts you very much. If you are another man, you are so evasive, I am afraid that if you don't doubt, you will have doubts, and you can't do this in the future. ”

Seeing Chu Qingruo nodding and being taught, she immediately relaxed again, and teased her: "They are all mothers of two children, why are there so many peach blossoms?" Colorful into your house? ”

Chu Qingruo, who had already untied the knot, immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Master, don't be polite, you can take all these peach blossoms of Laoshizi!" ”

Xiao Yao feigned anger: "If you poke people's hearts again, you will call me master in the future." ”

Chu Qingruo hurriedly apologized and forgive, and finally coaxed Xiao Yao to dissipate her anger, rolled her eyes, and sat there angrily and let her beat her shoulder.

"Master, in fact, you are just young and your color is still good, why don't you find someone who knows cold and hot and stays with you for the rest of your life? Why don't I go and invite the emperor's brother to take your hands on you, find a few suitable candidates, draw a line for you, and keep a matchmaker, how about it? The two talked about business and joked again. Chu Qingruo pinched Xiao Yao's emaciated bones and asked worriedly.

Xiao Yao was not angry: "What? Not really. ”

Knowing that Chu Qingruo would definitely refute out loud, without waiting for her to speak, he turned his head leisurely, took her hand, pulled her down from behind him, and sat down on the chair next to him, his eyes became sad, and his tone was heavy: "My real name is Qin Hongcao." This is the daughter of a nine-grade official. When I was three years old, my family changed dramatically, and the whole family was assigned as official slaves. ”

Chu Qingruo shared her sorrow with her sad voice, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Master's life experience would be so tortuous. ”

Xiao Yao sighed, and then said: "The years in the palace are long, just like a painting without color, plain and unremarkable, and the appearance of that person is the only color in the first half of my life. ”

It was only when Chu Qingruo knew that the master was not a bodhisattva carved in clay and wood, and he had no mortal heart. It turned out that there was a person hidden in her heart that had long been unforgettable.

Come to think of it, that person still lost her after all!

Chu Qingruo looked at Xiao Yao hidden in her black hair, with an occasional silver thread or two, and said distressedly: "What happened to that person?" ”

She wanted to ask if he was ...... He's dead.

"He's married."

It's not dead, it's married.

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, if he died, maybe she wouldn't be so sentimental, at least she could monopolize him with Memory Li, and it belonged to her alone.

Unfortunately, no.

Xiao Yao, who is now the second female official of the Great Yan Kingdom, occasionally still thinks of that year, when the snow fell.

A thin and shy young man in Tsing Yi, carrying a crumbling windproof lantern, stood under a red plum tree in the snow, his clothes rolled over, and the sound of hunting came, saluted her, and said with a smile: "I didn't know the way when I entered the palace at the beginning of Liangchu, and accidentally strayed into the girl's boudoir, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

Liang is his name.

Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.

Since then, this name has been deeply engraved into her heart.

Later, under the pressure of his family, the man married the daughter who was the right person with him, and raised his eyebrows.

Leaving her alone, a vermilion deep palace wall has divided them into two worlds.

Since then, the years have passed, the flowers have bloomed, and only the heartbreak of one place has been accompanied by falling flowers all over the ground.

At first, she also asked someone to inquire about him every once in a while. But the news came that he and the young lady were happy and held a 100-day banquet.

After a while, the news of his Jinbang High School came again.

Later, I heard that his virtuous wife had taken a few beautiful concubines for him, and the family had a virtuous wife and concubine, and lived a harmonious and beautiful life.

That's it, that's it, why bother yourself.

As a result, she could no longer inquire about him.

Gradually, the man was no longer heard from.

"Forget it, it's all old, don't mention it!"

Xiao Yao blinked, and gently blinked away the tears that had not had time to flow out of her eyes. turned his head and changed to a reproachful tone: "You girl, you talk about your affairs in a dignified manner, why did it come to me again?" ”

Chu Qingruo was distressed, and said coquettishly in her tone: "It's obvious that the master is afraid that I will talk about my peach blossoms, so he deliberately pulled the topic away, how can you blame me?" ”

Xiao Yao laughed: "I'm not Wenyuan, I don't eat your set." After laughing, his expression returned to seriousness: "Qingruo, all men in the world are lucky, you are fortunate to marry a broad-minded man like Wen Yuan, you must be open and honest with him if there is anything, so as not to secretly quarrel between husband and wife, so that people can take advantage of the opportunity." ”

Chu Qingruo smiled, she knew that Xiao Yao thought that she was pretending to be stupid because of Gao Bo's matter, and she wanted to hide it from Wen Yuan, worried that they would help up the estrangement.

In fact, it is Wenyuan's tolerance that makes her more and more determined in her mind, no matter how colorful those peach blossoms are, she is also immovable.

However, her fist protects the calf, she will not brush off her kindness, nodded again and again, and said that she wrote it down.

"The topic is far away, Qing Ruo knows General Gao's thoughts, so what are you going to do with this matter now?" Seeing that she was taught, Xiao Yao turned the topic back again. "The person who plotted this matter behind him, if he can use General Gao to set up such a situation, he must be someone who knows your life experience."

Chu Qingruo disagreed: "Not necessarily, although there are very few people who are really familiar with my past now, but after all, my life history is not a secret of the imperial court, and if someone with a heart investigates carefully, it is not difficult to know." ”

Xiao Yao's face was solemn: "Is it possible, you and I want to go together?" Also suspect ......? He kept silent about the two taboo words, but pointed upwards with his hand.

Chu Qingruo shook his head: "No, I don't suspect anyone, everything is about evidence, in the absence of evidence, everyone is suspicious, no one is a suspect." ”

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, although my mother has been away from the palace for many years, she still has some friendship with the palace eunuchs who are now in charge of the palace, and I will be responsible for investigating those two." ”

The two she said naturally referred to Emperor Lu Yiqing and Empress Cheng Yujiao. These two people who knew Chu Qingruo as a teenager naturally were also people who knew something about Chu Qingruo's life experience, so they naturally had to check it out.

When Chu Qingruo heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. Coming out of Xiao Yao's room, a gust of wind blew, and I felt a slight chill on my body.

Will this incident come from the palace?

She didn't know, and she didn't dare to think about it.

At this moment, she finally realized the eternal words written in the book.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows!
