Bai Zhi also followed the request of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and after respectfully welcoming Taifu Pei into the palace, he galloped to his mansion at a gallop.

He had already decided, and when the crown prince ascended the throne safely, he would immediately resign as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and accompany her at home, believing that time would surely heal the rift between them.

"Huan'er, look at what I brought you, it's your favorite sugar gourd." Excitedly stepping into the courtyard door, Bai Zhi also raised his voice against the humanity of the opposite.

However, no one answered in the courtyard, not even the cleaning handyman was nowhere to be seen.

What's going on?

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He ran to the master bedroom in a panic, almost stumbling and rushing in, but when he looked around, there was no one in the room.

"Huan'er, Huan'er!" He entered room by room, shouted room by room, almost to the point of hoarseness, but the familiar shadow never appeared in front of his eyes.

"General......" Suddenly, the housekeeper in a long coat and blue shirt stumbled in from outside the door, and as soon as he saw Bai Zhi, he knelt on the ground, crying, "Madam, she...... She took the little master and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake. ”

"What did you say?" Bai Zhi was still stunned, and his breathing was also suffocated.

"After you left, Madame said that she wanted to be clean, so she drove all the servants in the courtyard away, leaving only one apricot. Later, Mrs. said that she wanted to go to see the little master, and Xing'er accompanied Mrs. to go, but halfway through, Mrs. said that it was snowing soon, and it was cold, so she asked Xing'er to take a cloak for her. But I didn't expect Madame, Madame, she ...... She took advantage of the nurse's inattention, and threw herself into the lake with the little young master in her arms. ”

Bai Zhihuan's chest suddenly felt like a sharp sword piercing, and blood ached, and he stood there in a daze, with the sound of the housekeeper crying and screaming in front of him, but his mind was white.

Blurry, shiny, cold, glaring.

It's snow.

It's really snowing.

"It's so cold snow."

I was just about to go to the Lake Pavilion to sit down, but I was greeted by a cool breeze, and the cold snowflakes fell in a pour, and after a while, my vision was fascinated.

"It's winter, and the snow is naturally cold." Sun Hu shook his head and put the cloak on me.

"Yes," I walked slowly, Sun Hu followed behind me, "There will be no snow in the summer." ”

When Sun Hu heard me say this, he immediately guessed that I had something on my mind, "Childe is worried about the war ahead?" ”

I shook my head.

Qi Guo deliberately chose such a good time to attack Qin State, and Qin State naturally wouldn't let them come in vain.

Danger is always the beginning of opportunity.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, Yang Jie has been at the border for so long, he won't be unable to hold it."

Sun Hu paused, and then asked, "That son is worried about Mrs. Pei's return to Beijing?" ”

I didn't answer.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has borrowed Lu Xuan's hand except for many people from the Pei Party, even if Taifu Pei comes back, the major affairs of the court and the central government should not be something he can control, why is the prince so worried?"

Sighing softly, I looked at the vast lake in front of me, and there was a faint, abrupt feeling, "Pei Lu is scheming, I can't take it lightly, and besides, I'm not thinking about it, I just don't have a reason to think about it...... Flustered. ”

"Panic?" Sun Hu was stunned.

I nodded, turned to look at him, "Xiao Hu, you and Xiao Jie have been with me for many years, in my heart, you have long been my inseparable relatives, if, I said, if, one day in the future, we have a last resort to have to have a sword against each other, what will you do?" ”

Sun Hu looked at me with wide eyes and surprise, and then he turned his head away, his eyes slightly moist.

"What are you talking about stupidly," his voice was astringent, with a bitter taste, "Wang Jie, he has already betrayed you." ”

As soon as my eyes dimmed, I walked into the pavilion, and the cold snowflakes fell on my face, turning into water in the blink of an eye.

"Is it all a passing thing?" I looked at the snow on the lake and was focused.

Sun Hu's footsteps paused, and he didn't take a step forward.

A cold wind swept over the lake, along with a faint scent of plum blossoms, and I blinked my eyes and came back to my senses in an instant.

"My mother, have you sent someone to see it? How is she doing lately? I turned around and sat down.

Sun Hu walked up to me and whispered back, "Madame, everything is fine, the house is very quiet, every day Madame either embroiders some patterns, or walks in the garden, and occasionally goes to listen to operas, but there is nothing that can annoy Madame, just ......"

With a frown, I looked at him, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that the servant maid who serves her can always see her wife crying silently out of the window at night." Sun Hu hesitated, but still finished his sentence.

I was stunned and didn't speak.

"Jia Chun should have prepared all the soldiers, horses, food and grass, so you can leave tonight." I reached out and poured myself a cup of tea.

Sun Hu bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

"What has Emperor Qi been doing lately?" 3a Reading Network

"It's just that I heard that I can go to the court once in a while, and the rest of the time I am cultivating in the Heart Cultivation Palace."

"What about Gu Yuancheng?"

"Gu Xiang became the little prince's teacher, and he frequently went in and out of the Qi Palace every day, and he lived directly in the palace a few days ago, but I heard that the grandfather and the princess of the Gongqin Mansion left Biancheng and traveled away, I don't know if it's true or fake, maybe they want to use this to spy on our Qinguo military situation."

"Wandering? They're really chic. ”

"Childe is envious?"

I pursed my lips and dismissed "Not interested." ”

Sun Hu looked at me and couldn't help laughing, "It's dinner time soon, what does Childe want to eat?" ”

"Whatever, let the next person bring it here, I want to see the night snow."

"Yes, I'll give the order." After Sun Hu finished speaking, he bowed down and was about to retreat.

"Wait." I stopped him.

Sun Hu was puzzled, but when he saw me pointing towards the lake, a budding plum blossom branch fell from the tip, and many petals were broken on the ground.

"Send someone to bring it to Master Taifu."

Slightly stunned, Sun Hu understood, walked out of the lake pavilion, picked up the broken flower branches on the shore, and left here quickly.

At three quarters of the night, when the moon is the softest, the wine is wrong, and the snow is shining.

The delicacies in the palace were drunk and drunk, but he escaped death, and Mrs. Pei, who had just returned to Beijing, was not drunk at all, and hurriedly said goodbye to the banquet, so he left the palace at night and temporarily lived in the post station.

At that time, the loyal butler of Pei Mansion was already waiting there.

"Master, the things are ready."

Pei Lu nodded and sat down behind the bookcase.

"What did Lu Xuan say before he died?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "At that time, there was only Shen Xiang in the house, and the old slave inquired in many ways to no avail." ”

"This Shen Qingzhi!" Pei Lu was angry, and directly brushed the cup on the table to the ground.

"Lord Bu has a good hand of chess, but it's a pity that Lord Lu was reluctant to take Shen Xiang's life at all, and finally died in the hands of Shen Xiang." The housekeeper is also choked, but fate is like this, they are helpless in the end.

"Heh, he dared to hide from the old man, and the people who enveloped the old man almost made the old man have no place to stand in the court, and he didn't ask him to divide the corpse of five horses and break the corpse into ten thousand pieces, which is already the mercy of God." Pei Lu sneered, "If the old man hadn't noticed it in time, he would have been in the army, and the old man would have his life today?" ”

The butler fell silent, not knowing what to say to calm the anger in his heart, and after a while, he looked at Pei Lu's expression, and then looked at the night outside, and said, "It's already late at night, sir, ...... you."

"Knock knock!" There was a sudden knock on the door, and the people at the post station announced outside, "Master Taifu, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion has come, saying that he wants to give you something." ”

Pei Lu frowned, and glanced at the butler, who nodded, and immediately opened the door and walked out, and in a short time he returned with a long and narrow box.

"Master, do you want to open it?" The housekeeper asked.

Pei Lu nodded.

When the housekeeper saw that Pei Lu agreed, he immediately put down the box and opened it.

"A plum blossom?"

Pei Lu narrowed his eyes coldly, "It's a withered plum blossom that hasn't had time to open yet." ”

The housekeeper was stunned.

"What a Shen Qingzhi, he is still staggering and unstable, so he dares to provoke the old man like this!" Pei Lu Huoran got up, shook his robe vigorously, and walked from behind the desk to the center of the room.

"The old man asked you, did Wang Jie leave?" Pei Lu endured this breath and turned back to ask the housekeeper behind him.

The housekeeper replied, "Before you came back, the old slave sent him away, but the old slave was worried that he was not reliable, after all, he had always been Shen Xiang's person, and later took refuge in Lu Xuan, and according to the old slave's private investigation, he seems to be inextricably linked with the prince, such a person is really not a good person." ”

Pei Lu shook his head and walked slowly to the window.

The snow was still falling outside, like there was no end in sight.

"Be a man, never be deceived by appearances, he is more trustworthy than Lu Xuan and even Wei Yinghou's Mansion."

Yes? Idea?

The housekeeper couldn't figure out the reason for this, but he didn't have the energy to drill the horns, everything was just waiting for tomorrow, the ministers and the court.

More and more snowflakes fell from the sky, and they became denser and denser, and they were still scattered during the day, and in the second half of the night, it became a goose feather snow, and the heavy snow covered the capital and the morning glow of the next day.

"This ancestor said, the country can not be without a king for a day, the minister can not be without an owner for a day, His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister is desperate for his life, and escaped from death, in order for my Daqin to be passed on for thousands of generations, don't resent what the old minister is doing today for the thousands of people in the Qin country." Pei Lu took a step forward, walked in front of the ministers, and raised his hand to salute Cen Xi standing in front of him.

Cen Xi's expression did not change, he didn't speak, and he didn't make any movements, just looked at Pei Lu like this, looking indifferent.
