I was about to get up and wash up when I heard the door open.

My eyes were so red and swollen that I couldn't see anyone, so I retracted into the bed and turned my back to the door.

"Miss Song?" The mother-in-law spoke cautiously, "Haven't you gotten up yet?" But you're feeling a little unwell? ”

My throat was a little dry, and I coughed lightly, and I replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, I'll get up in a while, and my mother-in-law doesn't need to worry about it." ”

Hearing this, she said, "Your schoolwork has stopped, and if you are tired, it doesn't hurt for you to sleep for a while." The old slave just came over for Gongzi and wanted to hand you a booklet, which was about the customs of Yasukuni and the likes and dislikes of Emperor Jing, and Gongzi said that he wanted you to remember it within five days, and after five days, Gongzi would send someone to pick you up and go to Yasukuni. ”

When I heard these words, my heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. I sighed faintly and replied, "I see." ”

After saying that, the mother-in-law left.

I sat up and turned my head to look at the thick booklet on the table.

Now, no matter how much I don't want to face this reality, I have to face it.

I sat at the dresser and stared at the person in the mirror for a long time.

In the mirror, his eyes were very red and swollen, and there were still white tear stains on his face, his lips were shriveled and white, and the whole person looked really haggard.

But I was sitting here a few days ago, and I was able to carefully whitewash my appearance.

Everything is like a world away.

Gradually, I lowered my right hand, caressing my cheek, and slowly opened the drawer in front of the dresser, removing the shredded letter from earlier.

It clearly reads: A complete exploit...

I burst out laughing to myself.

Yi Xuan is right, if I think this statement is false, no one can prove that he is true. Come to think of it, I've been deceiving myself for too long, so reality has to expose all this so cruelly.

I tore up the pieces of paper, got up again, opened the window, and threw the shredded paper out of the window. I watched them sink like dead leaves scattered in the sky in autumn, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Miserable and miserable.

I sighed, and when I raised my hand to close the window, I suddenly saw Yeon's painting.

She looked at me and walked in.

"I heard Yi Xuan say that Childe has already told you about it."

I sat at the table with her, and she seemed to be amazed at my haggard countenance, and she had a look of surprise on her face.

I nodded slightly, and raised my hand to wipe away the dry tears on my face, trying to make myself look more energetic.

After receiving my affirmation, Yan Hua looked at me with a look of compassion, and she gently opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but closed her mouth again. She looked at me quietly for a long time before she asked slowly, "Are you interested in Childe?" ”

I glanced away, laughed sadly, and muttered, "Yes or no, it's all wrong." ”

She frowned slightly, looked at me as if distressed, and sighed slowly: "It turns out that there are so many people in this world who are trapped by love. ”

I didn't respond to her, just stared at the ground in silence.

"Yanhua, promise me one thing." I suddenly turned my head to look at her and said softly, "Never tell Fu Yuying, I have this in mind for him." ”

She was puzzled: "If you don't say it, do you have to keep it in your heart?" ”

I let out a long sigh and said to her, "If he knows, how will I deal with him when I return?" After a pause, I added: "I didn't understand why he didn't want to tell me everything earlier, but now that I have calmed down and thought about it, I didn't have any loyalty to him earlier, so he knows that if he tells me this, I will definitely weigh the pros and cons." As he spoke, I chuckled, "Yes, marriage is so important to a woman that he must feel that I will not sacrifice my happiness for him." But he didn't know, in fact, at that time, I didn't care about what men and women were marrying, all I wanted was to have the power to take revenge on those who disgusted me the most. So come to think of... In the end, he miscalculated. ”

I reached out and flipped open the booklet on the table, staring at the words on it.

"You know that the son is cold by nature, so you shouldn't be tempted by him."

I just smiled and didn't answer.

I don't understand, but there are some things that I can't control.

I didn't want to go any further, so I changed the subject: "I know that since the Yang family's incident, you have become alienated from me. But I am such a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, not to mention that the other party is a person I hate, how can I let her go so easily? Now, I'm leaving, and I'm telling you this, just hoping that when I come back, you'll let go of your prejudices about me, or at least, I really want to be with you. ”

Yan Hua was stunned, and suddenly smiled lightly: "Why do you think so, I am dissatisfied with your approach, but I have never thought of being estranged from you, after all, the Yang family's enmity was avenged by you, how can you say that you and I are half confidants, how can I alienate you because of others?" If I had really had this idea, I wouldn't have invited myself to prison to change you out that day. ”

It was actually invited by Yan Hua? I lowered my head and smiled faintly, it seeming that I had been thinking too much about it.

I raised my head again and said to her slowly, "I'll go wash up first, it's really hard to see people like this." With that, I got up and walked to the dresser.

Clear water, slightly powdered, light eyebrows, light lips.

I looked at myself in the mirror, I was still so young and pretty, but my state of mind was not what it used to be.

Time flowed like water, and three days passed in a hurry.

In the past three days, I haven't seen Fu Yuying, but I just heard Yi Xuan say that in recent days, the court has been quarreling over the uprising of the Lingzhou militia, and some courtiers hope that Fu Yuying will personally lead troops to quell the rebellion, and some think that Fu Yuying has no experience in leading troops and should not be sent there.

In this regard, I just laughed it off, Fu Yuying will not go, not to mention that the emperor is jealous of him and will not let him make military achievements, just say that Fu Yuying himself, in order to restrain his edge, will definitely be willing to go.

I was looking down and grinding the mint leaves, wanting to use it to smoke the sachet on my body, but Fu Yuying suddenly pushed the door in.

I raised my head when I heard the voice, and the moment I saw him, my heart still beat strongly a few times, so I lowered my head again, and my voice remained as calm as water: "I remember almost all those chores in the past few days, just waiting for you to tell me what Chao Fuqin looks like." ”

He walked up to me and said slowly, "You don't have to go first. ”

Then I raised my head again, stopped what I was doing, and wondered, "Why?" ”

He sat down with his sleeves and said to me lightly: "The emperor ordered me to quell the rebellion in Lingzhou, and after I left, it would be difficult to continue to control the current situation in the court, and others did not need to worry, but the left minister made me have to be vigilant, yesterday he strongly recommended me to quell the rebellion, which really made me have to make me suspect that he wanted to send someone to assassinate the emperor after I left, and then support the new monarch to take the throne when I have no time to return to the court." ”

I frowned and asked, "So you mean that I have to find a way to kill him?" ”

Fu Yuying nodded, and then he took off the golden wrench on his thumb, put it in front of me, and said slowly: "Li Shengqi has been sitting firmly in the position of the left minister for many years, and he is not an easy character to deal with, this wrench can mobilize the entire Ning Xiao, I want you to solve him as soon as possible after I leave." ”

I reached out and picked up the wrench on the table, and asked him suspiciously, "Do you want me to temporarily take the position of the leader of Ning Xiao?" ”

"Not temporary." He rejected my words, and then said slowly: "You must know that the house where you live in Ning Xiao is originally the residence of the leader of Ning Xiao. ”

I looked at him in disbelief.

"From today onwards, you don't have to live in Ning Xiao, move to the East Palace immediately, and Yi Xuan will go with you. You just need to remember that it is important to dispose of Li Shengqi as soon as possible. ”

I pursed my lips, nodded, and replied, "I know, you can go with confidence." ”

With that, I lowered my head and continued to tinker with the mint leaves. Seeing this, Fu Yuying couldn't help frowning, and wondered, "What are you doing with these?" ”

I smiled faintly and replied, "I've been very tired lately, so get some mint to refresh." ”

He was silent and asked no more.

I raised my eyes, glanced at him quietly, and then lowered my eyes again.

How would he know that I did this because I was worried that after I went to Yasukuni, I would miss the familiar mint fragrance on his body, and that's it.

The two compartments were silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room was inevitably a little awkward.

I broke the silence with a loud voice: "Lingzhou... What kind of place is it? ”

He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't come back to his senses until I asked him out loud.

"Lingzhou..."He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he said to me: "Lingzhou is a very rich place, there is also a sea there, it is very beautiful, if you have a chance in the future, I will take you to see it." ”

When he said this, I couldn't help but feel a little moved, but for some reason, at this time, my face did not show the slightest joy in my heart, and I still maintained the calm and calm of Fang Cai.

"If it's a good place, why is there a popular uprising?"

Fu Yuying rubbed her eyebrows, sighed briefly, and said slowly: "The wars with Yasukuni have been too frequent over the years, and Lingzhou is at the junction of the two countries, and the people's lives will inevitably be affected, just one year or two, but this war has lasted for five years, even if it is a rich land, it really can't withstand such consumption." So this time, they are rebelling under the banner of the incompetence of today's saints and the need to depose them. ”

I nodded thoughtfully and asked him again, "Are you sure of victory?" ”

"Nature." He smiled at me slightly, "It's just some chaotic ministers and thieves, compared to those elite soldiers and strong generals in Yasukuni, these people have nothing to worry about." ”

His confident appearance caused me to chuckle, "It's better not to be careless, if Li Shengqi sends someone to Lingzhou to make trouble for you again, you will have to be busy." ”

He smiled faintly, noncommittal.
