When she fell into darkness, a thought flashed through Wei Qingqing's mind, although she thought it was ridiculous.

"Rong Ruizhang."

She spoke.

In the thatched hut, Rong Ruizhang's figure stopped, knowing that the danger was approaching, he was reluctant to leave.

Perhaps, maybe we can start again?

As soon as such a thought flashed, Rong Ruizhang laughed: "Wei Qingqing, although you hate me, in the final analysis, I owe you in my last life, but I only have a little regret." And now, you only watch out for your own life, don't fall into my hands again! ”

With that, the room fell completely silent.

Wei Qingqing was standing in the secret passage, the subtle sounds in the room were amplified, and she could even hear her own rapid breathing.

After a while, there was a clutter of footsteps approaching.

After someone rummaged around, he heard a voice: "In the forest ahead!" ”

"How many?"

"One."

The people in the house smacked it, looked around again, and speculated: "There should be only one person living here, there is only one bowl, and there is nothing for women in the house, but this soup is still hot, even if there are really women, they can't run far, go chase it immediately!" ”

Bang la blah. It was the sound of the bowl being broken.

Wei Qingqing held her breath and stood motionless in the secret passage like that, she knew that there must be someone secretly staring at the other side of the river, and outside this room, there were also people staring.

Sure enough, after Wei Qingqing's legs and feet were numb, he heard a man muttering from the room that was so quiet that he could hear a needle falling on the ground: "There is really no one." ”

With that, the footsteps slowly faded away.

Wei Qingqing finally dared to exhale and slowly sat down against the damp secret passage wall. I also thought about it.

It's not safe here, but so is the river that leads to the secret passage.

Rong Ruizhang will inevitably be arrested, will he confess himself?

Just now he deliberately said such cruel words, but he let himself escape obediently, Wei Qingqing wondered, how could such a ruthless and selfish man save himself?

Can't figure it out.

Wei Qingqing stroked her belly, seeing that the child in her belly was obedient all the way, she was a little emotional, when she borrowed the corpse to return her soul to this body, she was originally a frail and sick person who had to breathe after walking a few steps, but this year's situation actually made her recuperate and come back.

Think about it, it's still a bowl of soup mixed with the aroma of medicine that can't be shaken by every meal.

She has been drinking the soup since she was still in the Wei Mansion until she married into the Guogong Mansion, and she felt abnormal earlier, so she asked Qiuyue. only to know that Rong Che told her in private, in order to recuperate her too weak body.

At that time, she also felt that Rong Che had done too much to act.

Wei Qingqing thought of what had happened in the past year, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously overflowed with a little sweet smile, now Rong Che should have received the news that he had passed out in advance, in this way, he should not fall for Helian Zifeng.

After thinking about it, Wei Qingqing closed her eyes again and rested for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that the faint light that came in from the gap in the bed board was gone, so she quietly got up and went from the secret passage to the direction of the river.

It was already dark outside, and no one was watching, and no one could tell what time it was, but the fire in the furnace had long been extinguished, leaving only a furnace of cold coal, and a mess all over the ground.

The man covered in blood was afraid to go back step by step, and his legs that had been trampled on the broken leg bones were dragged to the ground, making a hissing sound, and his eyes were full of sweat, but he thought that he should not live long.

The men in black came over and stabbed him in the chest with a single sword.

"Wei Qingqing ......"

He crawled to the brick bed in the corner of the hut, lifted the quilt, looked at the lock that was still intact in the hidden corner, and knocked inside.

No response.

Rong Ruizhang laughed at himself, too, he said something like that, Wei Qingqing is not the fool he used to be, how can he not leave?

I don't know if she can walk or not, and she is pregnant with a child, the child is Rong Che.

Rong Ruizhang thought sourly in his heart, he finally understood his heart after he lost everything and hid like a lost dog.

He still loves power, and he still hates the cheesy gold and silver, but he also knows that no matter how much he admonishes himself and scolds himself for being cheap, the wisps of haunting feelings in his heart can never be cut.

"It's really ......" Rong Ruizhang opened his mouth and barely raised a self-deprecating smile: "Cheap." ”

With that, he leaned on the side of the bed, looked at the broken porcelain bowl on the ground and the soup spilled from it, and looked up at the moon in the sky covered by dark clouds, and did not say anything more.

When it was almost dawn, there was a knocking sound in the bed where there was no movement, but it turned out to be Wei Qingqing, who had gone and returned.

The river could not be walked, so she could only quietly find a stone that was hard enough to take advantage of and smash the lock.

After smashing for half an hour, only the palms of the smashed hands were full of blood, and finally smashed a gap, and then reached out and smashed the small copper lock, and then crawled out with relief.

As soon as I came out, I saw that my hair was messy. Rong Ruizhang with a bloodstained face.

There is still a blood hole in Rong Ruizhang's heart, and the blood has flowed all over the ground, but the blood stained on the placket of the coarse cloth has changed color, and it seems that it has been a while.

Wei Qingqing saw that his pupils had dilated, and reached out to probe his snort, and finally pursed the corners of his lips.

Wei Qingqing saw that he was still dragging something in his hand, and leaned over to see that it was something he had been sitting at the door and cutting.

Wei Qingqing frowned, and vaguely guessed what this thing was, but in the end he leaned over and pulled out the blood-stained thing that he was holding onto, it was a wooden hairpin with flowing cloud patterns.

Was it for this thing that he dragged his two crushed legs back?

Wei Qingqing's mind suddenly appeared in the scene when she was still in the boudoir, and Rong Ruizhang met her for the first time.

He also held in his hand such a moire hairpin carved from wood, and soon the hairpin appeared on her dresser, and a little poem in his handwriting.

"Covering the eyebrows, the dream is affectionate, and the palm is exquisite.

A wisp of green silk heart cocoa, meet early planting cause and effect.

It is expected that I should have known me in my previous life, and my bones are lingering, and I am used to lying in the clouds.

Open a flower on the mirror fragrance, and lock the acacia for Junqiao. ”

At that time, she was depressed because of the eccentricity of her father in the house and the many calculations of the Qu family, seeing this simple hairpin with a light woody fragrance, and then looking at this affectionate little poem written by her daughter, her heart seemed to be filled with honey for a while.

At that time, she quietly gave her heart to the man who had a poor family background but had his own arrogant bones, but she didn't want to, and her heart was wrong.

He still remembers the hairpin today. I think he also had a sincere heart at that time.

The corners of Wei Qingqing's lips were filled with a hint of sarcasm, she lowered her eyes and looked at Rong Ruizhang who had fallen to the ground silently, put the wooden hairpin back into his hand, changed into the old clothes that Rong Ruizhang left here, turned around and picked up a knife scattered next to the stove, and went to the depths of the dense forest.

Behind him is a hut caught in flames.

She thought, this time it was Rong Ruizhang who saved her life, then she would also fulfill him, and not let his body be eaten by the beasts in the forest, which could be regarded as completely cutting off the evil fate that entangled the two worlds.

In the quiet dense forest, except for the occasional sound of birds and finches skimming the fallen leaves, only the occasional crackling sound of Wei Qingqing stepping on the dead branches was left.

In the past few days, martial law has begun in the capital, and the people don't know why, but they are becoming more and more cautious, and even those who come out to set up stalls on the street don't dare to shout loudly.

I saw a young man with an ordinary face at a noodle stall near the city gate, and after eating a bowl of hot Yangchun noodles, he saw a column of garrisons hurrying to a smoking place in the city. Newcastle

"What a sin!"

The noodle stall owner waited for the garrison to go away, then threw the handkerchief over his shoulders and muttered disdainfully to clean up the scraps left by the previous guest.

"Alright, don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting into trouble!"

The boss's daughter-in-law hurriedly scolded him, and took a closer look at the young man who was eating Yangchun noodles, but saw that the man was drinking soup with his head down unconsciously. only to breathe a sigh of relief.

But the boss didn't do it: "What am I afraid of, anyway, I want to die, look at it, what has become of the city now?" Only allowed to enter but not to leave, how many days have it been, and it is still called no one to live, this is still the root of the imperial city. ”

The proprietress was so angry that she twisted his ears and pulled him in, and it was quiet again.

The young man who had drunk the noodle soup looked up, revealing a pair of eyes like frost.

The Joyful Palace.

Outside Helian Zifeng's study, there were two heads that had just been cut off, and their heads gurgled for a while, and then they stopped, and their eyes stared at him in disbelief as if they were still conscious, looking at his slowly falling body, revealing a trace of fear.

Next to the heads of those two people, there was only one person left who was still kneeling, Rao was used to all kinds of cruel methods, and now he was watching Helian Zifeng who killed people without blinking. I was also a little worried for a while: "Lord Wang, the secret passage where Wei Qingshan and them escaped has been guarded by us, as long as Miss Wei appears......"

"Do you think she's yours and will deliver it herself?"

The hoarse voice sounded faint, but the person outside immediately slammed his head on the ground as if he had heard that the king of the underworld had sentenced him to death: "The prince forgives the sin, and his subordinates will check again, Rong Ruizhang's body and the hut were burned a few days ago, we suspect that Miss Wei was with Rong Ruizhang at that time, but unfortunately that Rong Ruizhang is a hard bone, we broke his bones inch by inch, and he didn't spit out a word." ”

Hearing Rong Ruizhang's name, Helian Zifeng, who was sitting in the dark, finally moved his face.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to go to the palace to deal with those palace people who were still trying to come to Beijing to make trouble, how could he let Qingqing, who trusted him so much, be burned alive by a few stupid ladies?

By the way, there is also Wei Susu.

"The capital is sealed, and she can't escape. So Wei Susu and the third prince have been out of the city for a long time, and they haven't raised troops yet? Helian Zifeng asked.

Mentioning the matter of the third prince and Wei Susu, the man in black instantly calmed down a lot: "Don't worry, the prince is doing everything according to our plan, and nothing will go wrong." ”

"Indeed, there must be no mistakes, otherwise you will burn your white flesh and scrape out your bones, and you will not be worthy of your sin."

Helian Zifeng's tone was low, as if he was going to swallow his life.

Where did the people outside dare to say that they were not half-sentenced, and they responded again and again. It wasn't until I left the Xiaoyao Mansion that I dared to wipe the sweat from my forehead, looking at today's blue sky and the light velvet clouds, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of Fang Cai's situation, he felt a little sympathy for the three princes and his wife, this time, but he wants to pull your muscles and pick your skin!

Somewhere a hundred miles away from the capital, the third prince sneezed inexplicably.

"It's still cool in early spring. You should also wear extra clothes. ”

The personal ring of the third prince muttered while bringing him a cloak.

The third prince didn't care, and only turned his head to look at the person sitting in front of the dresser behind him, a girl who was like a frost and snow, wearing a water-blue waist-pinching long skirt, the cuffs were tightly tied, and there was no jewelry on her body except for two beaded flowers on her black hair.

But even so, she is also tremblingly beautiful.

"Susu, do you really want to go with me?" The third prince asked her with concern: "I am going to negotiate terms with Rong Hai's thief." Although he must hate the King of Freedom who occupies the capital at this moment, he may not have much kindness to me. ”

When Wei Susu heard this, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed on his pale face, but it quickly turned into a flush of shyness on his face: "Where Your Highness goes, the concubine will go, the concubine has nothing, only Your Highness, does Your Highness really want to leave your concubine behind?" ”

Such a delicate and weak, seeing that the third prince was simply soft-hearted, even if it was faint, he felt that Wei Susu wanted to go to Dongzhou with him, it was not so simple.

However, this time it was also proposed by Wei Susu, although he had soldiers and food in his fiefdom, he also planned to see the Rong Mansion and Helian Purple Wind Sandpiper Clam compete first, and then come out to make a profit, but Su Su said that if he could unite with the Rong family, maybe he could go back to Beijing.

Anyway, the new emperor is missing, Helian Zifeng, the regent is not right, and if he can succeed, he will be the honor of the Ninety-Five, and he can also earn Su Su a mother's honor in the world!

Of course, the third prince of the Ninety-Five Venerable wanted to, but he had always been more cautious and cautious, but he couldn't bear Su Su's sad eyes and told how she was slandered and looked down upon now, how could the third prince bear it?

Immediately, he decided to set off and went to Dongzhou in order to join forces with Rong Hai.

The two set off together with their own thoughts, and no one noticed that Fang Cai was still smiling at the corner of his mouth with a pair of rings that wanted to climb up to the third prince.

Since the incident of the eldest princess in Dongzhou that day, Rong Hai was seriously injured and completely drew a line with her, so far, she was also disheartened, went to the nunnery, and left home.

When Wei Susu heard the news that the three princes all sighed, she smiled coldly: "Who made her unclear and ended up like this." It's just retribution. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and the third prince looked at the beloved woman who was close at hand, and felt that he was about to lose her in his heart, and couldn't help but clench her hand tightly: "Susu, I won't end up like the imperial sister." ”

Wei Susu didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question.

Even though Wei Susu thinks that he is scheming enough, the third prince is not a stupid person who has been planning for the crown prince for so many years, he just loves himself too much, so sometimes he can't see the real tricks he plays like a fog in front of him.

"Why does Your Highness say that?"

Wei Susu lowered his eyes and silently withdrew his hand.

The third prince looked at the empty palm and understood something, but looked at the slender and slender neck when she lowered her head, buried her head with a smile, and said like a coquette: "Susu, if we give up these powers, we will have money that we can't use up in our lifetime, and you can still be surrounded by slaves." Live a rich and leisurely life, and I can also be a rich and noble son, and we will have many more children......"

"Your Highness, you are tired, and you are talking nonsense."

Wei Susu's voice became cold.

The third prince's eyes were wet, and he finally understood the words of his short-lived mother concubine before she died, and when he realized that he loved someone so much that he could not spare his own life, it was time for his life to die.

"Your Highness, it's time to Dongzhou."

There was a noise outside.

The third prince took a deep breath of the aroma around Wei Susu's neck and smiled softly: "Susu, there will be no one in this world who loves you more than me." ”

As he spoke, he took off a pale yellow jade piece the size of a thumb cover around his neck, put it on for Wei Susu, and saw her slightly moved eyes, so he took her hand and walked towards Dongzhou City with satisfaction.

At this moment in the capital.

Wei Qingqing was wearing an old man's clothes, this is Rong Ruizhang's clothes, after she came out that day, she cut off the long part, and rubbed the dust on the ground, now she looks like a beggar with a big waist and a round waist.

There is no shortage of such beggars in the capital, and some rich and noble families will set up special charity halls in order to show their benevolence and provide food to the beggars in the capital.

It is a beggar like Wei Qingqing who appears, which is not too eye-catching.

"Brother, which kind of good church are you mixed with?"

She was sitting at the mouth of the alley thinking about how to pass through the eyes of all parts of the capital for a while, and thought of going to Zhu's house, which had been burned out, when she saw two good-faced beggars coming over.

Seeing that they were white and chubby but dressed in rags, Wei Qingqing knew that this was a collision with the Mixed Shan Tang.

Before Wei Qingqing could recite a name, the two looked at her in a low voice and said, "Your stomach is big, why do you still have thin arms and legs, you won't be eating Guanyin soil, right?" ”

"You can't eat that thing, it's going to die!"

The two of them chattered, and without waiting for Wei Qingqing to speak, they had already fabricated for Wei Qingqing a life experience in which he was excluded by the beggars and could not find food and had to swallow Guanyin soil in the City God Temple.

Seeing this, Wei Qingqing simply shut up and acquiesced.

The two of them sighed for a while, thought about it, and simply said to Wei Qingqing: "That's it, let's take you to hunt some wild food, you will mess with our brother in the future, you call us brother, we will cover you!" ”

Wei Qingqing: "......"

In this way, Wei Qingqing was pushed and shoved by the enthusiastic beggar duo and pulled directly to the place where the wild food was eaten - the Zhu Mansion that was burned to a mess.
