Huanhuan fell asleep very late that night, and she kept wondering why Qin Niang would let herself be so dike Ling'er.

Maybe it's because he's thinking about Qin Niang's departure tomorrow, Huanhuan keeps reminding himself to get up early tomorrow before going to bed. She wanted to ask Ling'er to call her earlier, but thinking that Ling'er's leg injury had not healed, she remembered Qin Niang's words. finally dispelled the idea of sleeping with Ling'er. Wrapped in a quilt and falling asleep.

She slept very dazed this night, and the scene in her dream was always the back of Qin Niang waving to her with her luggage on her back.

Half-asleep, she heard a few ducks quack, then rolled over and fell asleep again, but in a drowsy mood, she knew that someone was holding her from behind, and there was something soft against the back of her neck, which tickled her. Someone on her back gently patted her back up and down with her warm fingertips, with a soothing feeling, which made her feel very reassured. In a daze, she snorted softly, turned over and hugged the man, smelled the fragrance of begonia flowers on his body, and curled up to sleep.

Outside the palace gate, the east spits slightly white.

Qin Niang turned to look at the palace where she had lived for five years, nodded slightly, her eyes were reluctant, and she slowly left.

She will go to the post station outside the city to find her brother as the letter instructs.

When she arrived at the post station, Qin Niang deliberately tidied up her clothes and sideburns. Then I slowly walked into the post station and found that there was a person lying in the post station, covering his face with a fan, as if he was sleeping. Look at the figure is a woman, not very old, and the clothes are plain, but the fan is extraordinary. After walking in and seeing the pattern of the fan, Qin Niang's body trembled slightly, subconsciously took two steps back, and then turned around to escape.

"Xu Hui, why are you leaving?"

The woman put down the fan, there was a small black mole on her forehead, and a pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be smiling. The fan shook lightly and motioned for the servants next to her to carry her over.

"Over the years, the palace can't find you, and the capital can't see you. It turned out that you were hiding in Concubine Jin's palace, and now you are hiding in the mansion, so that this palace is easy to find. ”

"Gao Wuxin." Qin Niang waited for a long time before calling out the name, since she heard the name Xu Hui, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back and sweat on her forehead. Then he realized that it was a trap, and continued, "How did you know that I was in the palace and bluffed me out of the palace? ”

"Since she is my precious niece, I don't know if Sister Xu Hui is still called Qin Niang."

Qin Niang was silent, what she was worried about at the moment was the prince, if the identity of the sinner daughter of Miss Lin Mansion was known to the people in front of her, not only would she be harmed and her life would be harmed, but also the prince would be affected.

"I heard that there is a maid before marriage, who has an extraordinary identity, is the daughter of a criminal minister, and has the blood of Ei'er. Do you think this is true? ”

"Don't hurt her!" Qin Niang raised her head and said angrily.

"Oh?" When Gao Wuxin heard this, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was angry, she patted Qin Niang's cheek with a fan, and said coldly, "Then why do you bear to harm her?" ”

Qin Niang looked up at Gao Wuxin in disbelief, she was still so beautiful, the years had not added a wrinkle to her, but it had added charm to her.

"What are you talking about?" Qin Niang hurriedly lowered her head and denied it in a low voice, "I have never harmed anyone, I have never ......"

Qin Niang's words completely angered Gao Wuxin, she bent over and leaned over, stretched out her hand to pinch Qin Niang's chin, and said coldly: "Sister Hui's city, no one is as good as you!" used to be a mother, but now you're a mother, how many more people do you have to harm?! ”

"How could I hurt him! She is the mother's favorite child. ”

"Then you can't bear to hurt your mother!"

"It's not me, it's not."

"Who would that be!"

Qin Niang shook her head helplessly and said no more.

"That's Queen Sun, you are the person chosen by Queen Sun for Niangniang. Some people are friendly on the surface, but in fact they are full of sin and sin against snakes and scorpions. ”

"The queen is not!" Qin Niang didn't know where the courage came from, and tried her best to deny it loudly.

"It's you." Gao Wuxin stood up high, no longer had the heart to shake the fan, for so many years, she climbed from a small maid to a phoenix admired by thousands of people, she has counted many people carefully, but she has never harmed the concubine Shun, who is as pure as water and treats her very well. Her only obsession now is to find out the murderer who killed Concubine Shun back then, solve this mystery, and hate her.

"If you want to know the truth, promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Support the establishment of the emperor."

"I thought you would beg me to spare your life and spare your life. I don't need you to say it, I asked my brother to choose him and let Yu'er marry him, just so that he could ascend the throne in the future and be a generation of Ming Jun. ”

Qin Niang sneered and said, "Since this is the case, is it good to change it to not hurt the girl of the Lin family?" ”

"I'll promise you only one thing."

"If you swear not to hurt Miss Nalin, and not to let the princess harm her, I will tell you who I am instructed by."

"Who?" Gao Wuxin was emotional, leaned over and reached out to grab Qin Niang's shoulders tightly, her voice trembled and promised, "I swear, as long as it's for her, you tell me quickly, who is it?" I'm going to kill her!" ”

"It's you." Qin Niang's eyes drooped slightly, her expression was solemn, and she said seriously.

"Why don't you tell the truth!" Gao Wuxin was almost crazy, shaking Qin Niang's cold body fiercely, and said with anger and grievance.

"That's the truth. In fact, Niangniang's piece of purple cold jade pendant was given to His Majesty. Because of your appearance, she gave it to Xiao Rong'er. Over the years, although Niangniang has not befriended His Majesty on the surface, she has actually melted ice for him in her heart. At that time, His Majesty was all about his mother, and there were countless beauties in the harem, and he only spoiled her. The guards in the palace, the cooks, and the people who take care of the mother are all personally selected by His Majesty, and it is impossible for the harem concubines to harm her. ”

"It won't be me, I've never poisoned my mother! I want her to live well, I haven't heard her sing yet, she said it, she will teach me. She also said......"

Qin Niang ignored her whispering and continued: "On that day, when she wrapped the purple cold jade pendant and was about to hand it over to me to give to Your Majesty, you came back after disappearing for nearly a year. Niangniang looked at your slightly bulging belly, the maid behind you, and countless gifts, and suddenly woke up from the sweet dream that His Majesty had woven for her for several years. She still accepts your existence with a smile on the surface, but in private she always likes to hug me in a daze, just like she used to stand on a tall building in a daze.

Finally, not long after, His Majesty began to spoil you, even if you entered the Niangniang's palace, you didn't come to look at her. And you are always self-righteous for the good of the mother, and share the novelties that His Majesty gave you with the mother. Only I know how bitter my mother's heart is, not only am I jealous of you, but my mother is also jealous of you. Later, you had a princess, and the mother went to see her once, and after she left, the princess had a high fever in the middle of the night and almost died. What does this have to do with Niangniang? She hadn't done anything. ”

Gao Wuxin nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, it's not her, it's me who didn't take good care of her, and I was greedy with Your Majesty and ignored her." ”

Qin Niang lamented and said: "Niangniang is the purest person in the world, but Your Majesty doesn't believe her, and the next day she ran angrily to question Niangniang." The mother couldn't argue, closed her eyes and didn't answer. His Majesty seemed to be provoked by something, and he didn't know if it was a punishment or not, so he forced her. Perhaps it was that time that completely shattered all the beautiful fantasies of Niangniang about His Majesty, and also shattered her beautiful reverie about the future of life.

Not long after, the old lord of the Liang Kingdom in the Western Regions passed away, and the news reached Niangniang's ears, and Niangniang cried silently for a long time. Until one day, my mother woke up, held my hand, and said that she dreamed that her father was in the grassland, sitting on horseback, waving a whip, and saying to wait for her. Since then, Niangniang often dreamed of that dream, and she seemed to be stunned. I speak Western Regions all day long, and I don't understand a word. And at that time, because of the princess, you were promoted and left the palace. ”

"And then?"

Gao Wuxin had already guessed the answer, but she still couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, hoping that Qin Niang would tell her another answer.

"Speaking of which, you should know the answer." Qin Niang sighed, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said sadly, "Niangniang committed suicide, Your Majesty should have guessed it." Otherwise, how could you not thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to Niangniang. Only Xin'er, you are stupid and don't know, and you are still on the side of justice, pretending to find the truth for Niangniang to alleviate your guilt towards Niangniang. The only thing I regret is that I watched my mother drink the poison and didn't dare to stop her. ”

When Gao Wu heard this, he fell to the ground and cried, and explained to himself: "Sister Ying'er, I am also forced to climb to Your Majesty, which is the only hope for the revival of the family." Don't blame me, don't blame me...... It must be Xu Hui that you are lying, you didn't tell me the truth, you must be bluffing me! ”

Qin Niang didn't explain, and when she told the truth, she felt relieved. She looked up at the sky, and in the mist of tears, she seemed to see an eagle flying with wings in the sky, as if it was swooping down on her, trying to take her.

Is it a mother? Is it an eagle? Take Hui'er away and get out of here......

"This is the truth, I don't blame you, no one blames Niangniang, she only blames this life. Before drinking the poison, she was still thinking about Liangguo and asked me not to tell anyone about it, and I made a poisonous oath. If you have not kept your promise, you must take an oath! I hope Xin'er remembers her oath to Hui'er. ”

After saying that, Qin Niang pulled out the sword on the waist of the plainclothes guard standing behind her, and committed suicide by slashing her neck.

"Don't!" Before Gao Wuxin could blurt out these words, she saw the cold sword cut through Qin Niang's wrinkled neck, and she cried, "I didn't lie to you, I found your brother, and you only hope to return to your homeland in this life, find your brother, and serve your mother." Hui'er, Sister Hui. ”

Gao Wuxin's eyes were splashed with the blood pumped out of Qin Niang's neck. She didn't know if it was because her eyes were wet with tears, or because of Qin Niang's blood, she hadn't felt wet in her eyes for a long time. She hugged Qin Niang tightly, grabbed her hand and said fearfully.

Qin Niang desperately squeezed out a smile, squirmed her lips, and whispered: "I don't blame you, Xin..."

Before Xin'er could summon the whole thing, Qin Niang closed her eyes, and the moment her vision darkened, she saw a pair of good-looking smiling eyes, I don't know if it was the eagle in her palace or the little girl in the palace. But no matter who it was, that pair of smiling eyes made all her pain disappear in an instant.

The closed wooden door of the inn was slammed open, and an old man dressed in cloth rushed out, his body was weak, wearing a scholar's hat, looking at the woman lying in a pool of blood, his steps became staggering, and he hesitated for a long time before he confirmed that it was his own sister whom he had not met for decades. He pushed away Gao Wuxin, who was still holding Qin Niang, and knelt down to hold Qin Niang's hand.

The guard standing behind him still had a cold face, like an emotionless wooden man, standing straight next to him. Seeing that the old man dared to push the queen of the key country, he immediately drew his sword at him.

After Gao Wuxin was pushed down, she knelt on the ground and looked at Qin Niang's corpse. After looking at it for a while, she smiled weirdly, and her phoenix eyes seemed to be smiling, picking up the blood-stained red fan, slowly shaking the fan, and standing up to sort out the dirt on her body. As if complaining, he chuckled: "This skirt is stained with the blood of a, it's a pity." ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at her angrily.

"With the death of Concubine Shun, I found the murderer. It was Xu Hui who harmed the pure and kind Concubine Shun, and it was not a pity for her to die! ”

Gao Wuxin shook the fan, paced the lotus steps, and slowly walked towards the post station.

"Mother, what should I do with this old man?"

"Kill it, go to the underworld to accompany his good sister, my sister Hui. The old rules are clean..."
