Xiao Yizheng's voice weakened, and the room was quiet for a while.

Qingxi frowned slightly, with a lot of questions.

"Do you want to ask, why did you announce your death when you were assassinated?" Xiao Yizheng looked at her and asked, his tone had returned to calm.

Qingxi nodded.

"Father said, "That's what Mother meant."

Qingxi's eyes widened, "Just like that? Don't you even track down the real culprit behind the scenes? ”

Xiao Yizheng sighed lightly: "The truth behind it must be intertwined and implicated." When I was young, I felt that my father obeyed my mother's intentions, not only because I didn't want her to be uneasy behind her, but also because I had a plan in my heart, so that I could hit her with one blow in the future. I even thought that my father really didn't take any action, so what the so-called mother meant was true or false? ”

Qingxi nodded slightly, wanting to say that this was also what she was thinking.

Xiao Yizheng rubbed her hands and continued: "Later, as I got older, the more I thought about it. For example, why did my mother take the unusual initiative to go out? What did my mother and father say that day? Why did my mother insist on taking me to live in the Mind Garden without any name, but my father did not object? Why did my mother never mention her birth and family to me? Why are all accounts of mothers vague? He frowned and paused, "I asked my father. Every time he asked, my father grieved, and then there was only one sentence: Rokuro, you just have to remember that your mother and I only want you to be safe and happy. Over the years, my father's health has not recovered from before, so in order not to make him sad, I will not ask. I also tried to find the truth on my own, and I paid attention to it when I traveled the world, but I found nothing. Even the Grand Commander of the Palace, who was present at the time of the assassination, died of illness the following year. ”

Qingxi had been listening quietly, and when he heard this, he stared and said, "Maybe there are some things that have no answer that is the best answer." As my father said, your good life is your mother's greatest expectation. ”

Xiao Yizheng nodded: "Actually, I don't have too many obsessions about this matter. Ever since I was a child, my mother taught me to be open-minded in everything I do, not to suffer myself or others. That's what I've always asked myself to do. He raised his eyes and looked at Qingxi: "Ah Heng, your willow wind book is very similar to your mother's pen and ink charm!" ”

Qingxi was slightly stunned.

"What I know of my mother's origins is no different from what the world knows. She is from Jiangnan. ”

"There are not a few people in Jiangnan who write Liu Fengxing books, but they have their own styles. My calligraphy was taught entirely by my grandfather. Could it be that my mother used to study under my grandfather? Qingxi was puzzled, and then shook his head again: "But I have never heard my grandfather mention it." However, my grandfather didn't have so many rules, he was good at making friends, and although he never formally accepted students, he taught a lot of people. Maybe there is someone who has a deep heritage of calligraphy, and this person is related to his mother? She speculated.

Xiao Yizheng was noncommittal. "But in any case, one thing, very sure......"

Qingxi held his breath and waited, waiting for his conclusion.

"There must be a big secret surrounding my mother, a secret that even my father has to help hide."

Qingxi's thinking turned quickly: "So, those two jade pendants must also have secrets." ”

Dragon, phoenix?

Her eyes lit up, she lowered her voice, and said very seriously: "Chengzhan, why do I think this secret is a matter of ...... Landscape? ”

Xiao Yizheng's expression relaxed, and he said with a smile: "If two jade pendants can shake the country, then the country is too light." ”

"I'm serious." Qingxi said dissatisfied.

She thought his attitude was a joke.

"I'm serious, too." Xiao Yizheng stroked the broken hair on her forehead: "It is always people and not things that can be related to the country." ”

Qingxi's heart was shaken.

"However, you have a point." Xiao Yizheng smiled dotingly: "Before, I didn't think that I had to find that phoenix pattern pendant. Now, however, it seems that someone has begun to take action, and it is impossible to ignore it. What's more, it's about you. ”

Qingxi frowned again. Yes, why would a person who holds admiration want to see himself? Also went to Sujiang? And did that man really have what they were looking for? Are they the same jade pendant as Li Hanhui? If the answer is yes, then why?

"I sent someone to inquire about that person, and it is consistent with the investigation of the old man Changfeng Bai, and that person is Beisu Pupu

Tong Tong is a merchant, who has been trading some spices on the trade routes of the Western Regions, and has been in Beisu for decades. He also has a family, his son and grandson are all in Beisu, and there is nothing wrong with his life. As for the news from Su Jiang's side, it has not been transmitted back for the time being. He changed his words and said with a smile: "However, Ah Heng, the biggest reason why I want to go back to Sujiang with you is because you miss your hometown." ”

Qingxi smiled lightly, took his arm and said, "Okay, don't bother those things that are easy to hurt you." Let's plan a trip to Sujiang, well, it's best to go back at the beginning of next year, and then I can take you to see Xinyi flowers...... Spring trip to the south of the Yangtze River, intoxicated by it, heaven on earth ......"

The two of them have a lot of imagination.

At the end, Xiao Yizheng asked her casually: "If you live in Sujiang, you will be happy to come, right?" ”

Qingxi smiled and nodded.

She didn't think much of the answer to the question, because she didn't think it was possible.

Nodding her head was just a sign of her love for the land and the people she cared about.

"If you leave Shangdu's parents and brothers, are you willing to do it?" Xiao Yizheng asked softly again.

"Huh?" Qingxi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Do men also ask such childish questions?" ”

"Childish?" Xiao Yizheng was stunned.

"That's right! It's similar to a wife falling into the water at the same time as her mother, who do you save? ”

Xiao Yizheng was puzzled: "There is such a problem? How I have never heard of it. ”

Qingxi smiled: "I see it in the script......"

Xiao Yizheng watched her smile so happily, and she was also happy, and some things didn't want her to worry about in advance.

Two days later, Zeng Ji returned from inspecting the battalions of the Northwest Army. He was accompanied by an envoy from Guiping who came to present a letter of friendship with Dacheng for eternity, saying that their new emperor would come to Beisu in person in the near future to show his sincerity.

Moon Shadow quipped: "Your senior brother has come to pick you up in person." ”

Zhixi's face flushed, smiled shyly, and didn't speak, but his face was full of happiness.

After Qingxi came back from Guiping, she picked up Zhixi from Xie Mansion to Shuaifu, and she was also very concerned and cared for on weekdays, and she was also very grateful.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Senior brother is now the emperor, but I am a little scared. ”

Qingxi also understood and said with relief: "You have been friends for many years, and you have shared hardships in the rivers and lakes, you have to have confidence in him." ”

Zhixi nodded: "Actually, I knew that there would be this day, when I was very young, a stranger came to my brother's house and talked a lot to my aunt. Later, many masters came to the teacher brother alternately to read and write, perhaps just to prepare for today. ”

And this stubble? Qingxi thought that if this was the case, then there would be no need to worry about Zhou Yifeng's bad governance and return to the country. It seems that Zhou Chaozong has a thousand undesirable points, but he is not confused in this matter.

She takes Moon Shadow and Zhixi out shopping, wanting to pick out some gifts for Zhixi, after all, they will soon be separated. I don't know when I will see you again.

Zhi Xi is very prevaricated, and Qingxi insists on 12 points. This time, I went back and forth until the next night.

Qingxi picked all the way, and still felt that the jewelry was the most suitable.

Girls like it, it's lightweight, easy to carry, and can be kept for a long time.

The three of them entered a jade shop.

Beisu jade is well-known all over the world.

The shopkeeper was warmly entertained, looking at Qingxi like jade, with an extraordinary temperament, and he subconsciously introduced it with his heart.

Qingxi looked around, asked for opinions left and right, Moon Shadow is good at seeing anything, and knowing pity is to look at everything.

She clapped the board: "Shopkeeper, which is the best jewelry in your store?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Of course, the best thing now is a magnolia hairpin, but at that time, it was not for sale, there was a master." ”

Hearing the word Magnolia, Qingxi was curious: "Can you let me wait to see and see." ”

"That's fine." The shopkeeper thought that such a treasure would be taken out for everyone to enjoy, and it would also earn face for the store.

When the shopkeeper placed the hairpin in the tray and carefully held it in front of the three of them, Moon Shadow and Zhixi both let out a sound of admiration.

The magnolia hairpin is small and exquisite, crystal clear, white and flawless, at a glance, you can know that it is a fine jade, and it is rare that the workmanship is also superior, and the meticulousness is just right.

Qingxi liked it when he saw it,

Low-key yet unworldly.

"Is there really a master?" She asked reluctantly. ν.

The shopkeeper nodded helplessly: "Specially made." ”

Qingxi pouted, very disappointed.

"Why don't you look at something else?"

Qingxi turned around and swept it, feeling that he couldn't see anything.

Moon Shadow knew that she liked it, so she begged the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, we can pay more, or if someone orders this, we will discuss it with him." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "This, you can't discuss it." It was made by His Royal Highness King Heng. ”

"Who?" Moon Shadow asked.

"Your Highness!" The shopkeeper was categorical, not like he was simply answering a question, because his eyes were fixed on the door.

"Shopkeeper, give it to the princess!" It was Xiao Yizheng's voice.

He had already stepped into the house.

The three of them followed the prestige. Moon Shadow and Knowing Pity hurriedly saluted.

When the shopkeeper heard the word "princess", he was stunned at first, and then saluted Qingxi first, "It's the princess, I just said when did Beisu come to have such a beautiful lady." It is the villain who has eyes and does not know the princess, forgiving sins. This hairpin style was designed by His Royal Highness himself, hey, you can take it with you. ”

Qingxi looked at Xiao Yizheng, thinking that when he first came to Beisu, the inn Xiaoer seemed to have mentioned this matter, but he didn't care.

Xiao Yizheng had already walked to her side, "I didn't see you when I went back to the backyard, I said that you came out, so I followed you out." After he finished explaining, he turned to Zhixi and said, "Zhixi girl, we will give you another gift, this hairpin is a gift from me to my wife, it is not easy to cut love." ”

Zhixi nodded hurriedly, not knowing what to say. She didn't mean to.

Xiao Yizheng took the jade hairpin and raised his hand to insert it into Qingxi's hair. Then, he nodded with satisfaction: "Beauty and jade shine together." ”
