In the city of Kyoto, because Wang Shiru returned to face the saint, the court was in an uproar.

In the Li Mansion, Li Shoudi looked at the full house and circled, and Li Mukun, who was anxious, said: "Big brother, what should I do now." ”

"You still have the face to ask me, didn't you say that Wang Shiru and those wastes you have disposed of?"

Li Shoudi said anxiously: "Big brother, I did send someone to clean up Wang Shiru and those prisoners, so it stands to reason that there will be no problem." ”

Before Li Shoudi finished speaking, he was stopped by Li Mukun, "Waste, I can't even tell the difference between people and dare to talk about cleaning up, do you know who Zong Zhixian picked up from Beijing yesterday?" ”

"It's the King of Huai'an, the King of Huai'an!" Li Mukun slapped the table and said angrily: "I don't believe it, he is such a big person from Linshui to Jin'an City and then to the border city, and he also led a dummy horse all the way from the border city to swagger back to Kyoto, you didn't even notice it!?" ”

"This, this, that Wang Shiru and those prisoners."

"When you were trying hard to intercept it, Wang Shiru and everyone had arrived in Kyoto, what did you have to do."

"Then what should I do now, the Zhou family, Lord Zhou must have a way."

Li Mukun waved his hand and sat down in the chair, "No, the situation is not as good as before, I'm afraid they won't be able to return to the sky." ”

"What about the shadows? They will help us even if they protect themselves. ”

"No, after the Shaoguang incident, the Li family's chess piece has already been a dead move. They've already found a home. ”

In Zhou's mansion, Zhou Liang came back and saw the people waiting in the study, and his already gloomy face became more and more ugly.

"Master, you're back."

Zhou Liang frowned and said, "I still have official business to deal with, you can go back first." ”

Li Yue'e hurriedly said: "Master, the concubine has something to say to you." ”

Zhou Liang held back his anger and said, "Go back." ”

Seeing this, Li Yue'e knelt down and cried: "Master, please, save the Li family, my father's body can't bear this crime." ”

Zhou Liang said angrily: "I told your father a long time ago, let him take care of that Li Shoudi, how much effort I have spent for him in the affairs of Shaoguang Hall, and now he still dares to hit the royal people, is the King of Huai'an someone he can afford to provoke?" Now that the evidence has not been erased, it has been caught again. ”

Li Yue'e panicked: "How come? ”

"How so? How could it not? Zhou Liang said and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Wait, did you already know about this matter!" ”

Seeing that Li Yue'e didn't squeak, Zhou Liang stroked his chest, slapped the table and shouted: "Don't tell the truth yet!" ”

"It was Li Shoudi who said to his concubine's father, he said that once Wang Shiru returned to Beijing with evidence, our Li family would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so they wanted to simply destroy Wang Shiru and all the evidence."

Li Yue'e said and glanced at Zhou Liang, bit her lip and said: "He, he also said that the Li family and the Zhou family are both prosperous and lossy, if something happens to the Li family, the Zhou family will definitely not be able to escape, so I told Yi'er about it, but don't worry, master, Yi'er only made a plan for the Li family, and the rest never participated in the slightest." ”

Zhou Liang was shocked: "What, Yi'er!?" I told him a long time ago that he was not allowed to participate in this matter, how could he..."Zhou Liang said as if he thought of something, and shouted outside the house: "Call the young master over immediately." ”

"Yes."

A moment later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the room.

A thin, sickly teenager walked in, "Father." ”

Zhou Liang said in a deep voice: "Kneel!" ”

Li Yue'e: "Master." ”

"Get out!"

Zhou Yi said softly: "Mother, you go back first." ”

After Li Yue'e wiped her tears and went out, Zhou Liang spoke: "How much have you been involved in the Li family's matter?" ”

"That person said that he would settle the matter of the border city, and after this matter, he would help our Zhou family to return to the previous glory."

Zhou Liang said angrily: "You are confused! ”

"Father, now the emperor is already dissatisfied with our Zhou family, if we don't borrow our strength to protect ourselves, we can only let people eat meat in the future."

Zhou Liang sighed and said: "Then do you know that that person not only did not help you erase the evidence in Wang Shiru's hand, but also gave you the wrong information, so that Wang Shiru could return to Beijing safely with his people." ”

"Impossible!"

"Originally, we only needed to get rid of the burden of the Li family, even if we were implicated, we would not lose the Zhou government, but now that you are involved in this matter, and someone has taken the handle, now, even if we want to be alone, it is impossible."

It was already evening when Jing Rong and his party returned to Beijing, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the empty streets, slowly stopping in front of a house.

The guard at the door saw Jingrong's figure, rushed over and bowed and said, "Lord Wang, you are back, your subordinates will go..."

"No need, tell the people inside to be quiet."

The guards were stunned for a moment, and saw Jing Rong take out a blue-clothed boy from the carriage, and several people immediately lowered their heads and whispered: "Yes, my subordinates will go." ”

Jing Rong glanced at Heshan and the stunned Xiaokong Dao: "Let's go." ”

The next day, when Meng Zhou woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and she stared at the bed tent for a long time before she suddenly realized that she had arrived at the palace.

"Girl, are you awake?"

"Ah, wake up." Meng Zhou quickly put on his shoes and opened the door.

Outside the door, there were two delicate little girls standing, who were stunned at first when they saw Mengzhou's appearance, and then said respectfully: "Slave Lian Ye, slave Lian Zhi came to serve the girl on the order of the master." ”

Meng Zhou saw the tray in Lianzhi's hand and hurriedly got out of the way.

"Girl, the slave maid is waiting for you to wash and change your clothes."

Meng Zhou was a little uncomfortable, took the clothes in Lian Ye's hand and said, "Don't bother you, I'll just come by myself." ”

"Well, if the girl needs to call a slave." Lian Zhi said and exited the door.

After washing and cleaning up, Meng Zhou looked at the pink coat in the mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

"That."

Hearing Meng Zhou's voice, Lian Ye immediately stepped forward, "What does the girl command?" ”

"Do you have any other clothes there?"

"The slave and maid will go and prepare for the girl again."

Hearing this, Meng Zhou immediately waved his hand, "No need, no need, I'll just wear this." ”

"That Lianye combs the girl's hair."

After Meng Zhou sat down, he looked at Lian Ye, who was busy in the mirror, and asked, "Lian Ye, do you know where the son and the child who came with me yesterday went?" ”

"Back to the girl, that boy took the little boy out early in the morning, and he left a message for you, so you don't have to worry."

"And what about your master?"

Lian Ye said: "The master entered the palace earlier to face the saint and has not yet returned, but the master instructed that he would come back at noon to have dinner with the girl." It's almost time to come back. ”

"Oh."

The room was quiet for a while, and Lian Zhi said, "If the girl is bored, the slaves and maids will accompany you out for a walk." ”

Meng Zhou immediately waved his hand, "No, no." ”

Lian Ye glanced at Lian Zhi, took out a card order and put it in front of Meng Zhou and said: "The master instructs that the girl can walk around the palace at will, if there is any need, just show the card order, and someone will guide the girl." ”

Lian Ye said and saluted: "The slave and maid retreat first." ”

"Okay."

After the branches and leaves left, Meng Zhou was relieved. She has always been wild, and she is uncomfortable when she is treated so respectfully.

Mengzhou put away the token and pushed the door open, the sun outside the house was warm, the breeze was like water, soft and soft. She was lazy, and it was rare to be in a good mood.

Meng Zhou was walking around the courtyard, and suddenly saw a figure outside the courtyard probing his brain.

"Who's there?"

Meng Zhou spoke, the figure immediately disappeared at the door, Meng Zhou chased out, and saw a young man in fancy clothes and a guard standing a few meters away, seeing her come out, the little man in fancy clothes turned around and left.

Meng Zhou chased after him a few steps, and after seeing the child clearly, she was pleasantly surprised: "It's you." ”

Seeing that the child frowned and was silent, Meng Zhou pointed to his money bag and reminded: "It's me, we've met, in the inn." ”

There was disbelief in June's tone, "It's you." ”

Meng Zhou squatted down and smiled: "You remember, it's such a coincidence, we met again, June, your name is June, right?" ”

The man behind June immediately shouted, "Bold..."

"Kuan, step aside." As soon as June spoke, the man called Ah Kuan immediately lowered his head and took a few steps back.

Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows and said secretly, this little boy is not very old, but his momentum is quite strong.

"By the way, why are you here?"

June frowned, "I should ask you this." ”

Meng Zhou smiled, "Of course I am a guest invited back by the owner of this house." Meng Zhou said that she saw the falling flowers in June's hair, but before her hand touched June, he waved it open.

"Don't touch me!"

Meng Zhou was caught off guard by June so hard, and sat down on the ground with a shake.

Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed in June's eyes, and he instantly returned to weakness.

Meng Zhou was stunned for a moment, just thinking that this child didn't like others to touch, so he sighed helplessly and got up and patted his clothes, and said, "Okay, I won't touch it." But if you don't want to walk around the yard with a flower on your head, it's better to take it down. ”

A gentle call was heard in the distance.

"Chi Huan."

Meng Zhou followed the voice, a woman in a white skirt, a weakened figure, gentle eyebrows and eyes came in the breeze, a layer of soft light around her body, and every step seemed to be a fairy in a painting.

When the two looked at each other, Xu Xuan's eyes instantly turned red, in the past four years, she had fantasized about seeing Su Qinghui again countless times, but she didn't know that this was actually four years of life.

The acquaintance in the past and the time of the past four years collided together, which made Xu Wan's heart sour. She was afraid that all this was just a dream, and she woke up full of melancholy.

"Auntie, Kongqing is here."

June woke up Xu Juan with a soft call, and she wanted to stop the steps she wanted to step forward.

"Oh, little master, you can run slowly."

"Auntie, auntie, you see I've found something good."

Kong Qing shouted all the way and ran madly in front of Xu Juan, very excited.

Xu Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said gently: "Run slower, be careful of falling, I'll see what strange things you find." ”

Kong Qing peeked at June, and mysteriously stretched out his hand and said, "This is a baby." She smacked and turned to June and spread her hand away.

Seeing June's instantaneous change in expression, Kong Qing became more and more proud, "Hahahahaha, I knew that this was right to use against him." ”

Meng Zhou glanced at the thumb-length bug on the ground and raised his eyebrows.

"You're naughty again." Xu Wan said and took out a handkerchief to wipe his empty hands.

Kong Qing pursed his lips, only then did he notice Meng Zhou beside June, and asked in a childish voice, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Wan paused, looked at Meng Zhou, and opened his mouth several times without knowing where to start.

"Guest."

Hearing June's cold voice, Xu Juan frowned, even if she wanted to hide June or enlighten and relieve her, it was difficult to resist the child's sensitive nature and long-suppressed feelings.

"Oh, you're Daddy's guest."

Xu Juan sighed, fortunately, Kongqing's child is not more meticulous than June, so it's better to hide it from her for the time being, so as not to cause Kongqing to bottom out and rebel. After they spend a long time with each other, this relationship will gradually develop.

"Daddy?" Meng Zhou's face was inexplicable, and after doubting, the memory slowly returned, and a vague shadow gradually became clear.

Kyoto, inn, kids...

Meng Zhou staggered back, holding on to the trunk of the tree, and his heart was shocked, and waves of unsettled waves rose again. No wonder she always looks at Jing Rong and is familiar.

Now all the beautiful thoughts in her heart are gone, and she just hopes that there will be a crack for her to get into.

Thinking about it in the dream, he gritted his teeth and said secretly, this bastard has a family and still comes to tease her, doesn't he want to accept her as a concubine!?

As soon as this thought came out, Meng Zhou suddenly felt five thunderbolts.

Xu Juan looked at her on the side, stepped forward and worried, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Meng Zhou took two breaths and said with a smile: "It's okay, by the way, I just came to this mansion and am not very familiar with it, can I bother you to bring it." ”

"Nature."

Along the way, Xu Juan saw that Mengzhou was absent-minded when he spoke, so he was busy scanning around, and asked out loud, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Ah, I'm just curious that this courtyard is so big, it takes a lot of effort to go out."

Xu Juan said with a smile: "Although the Huaiwang Mansion is big, but the way out is naturally separated, from the place where you just lived to the east and then through a garden, along the path all the way up there is a side door, and then from the river bridge down there, turn forward and cross the corridor pavilion is the main gate." As for the other side doors, there is a time limit, and most of them are closed on weekdays. ”

Mengzhou nodded, "Then is the garden you just said big?" ”

Xu Wan was stunned and slowly shook his head.

On the side, Kong Qing tugged at Xu Xuan's hand a little boredly, and said in a glutinous voice: "Auntie, when will Daddy come back?" ”

"Count the hours, it's almost time to get to the door."

Meng Zhou was shocked, "Ahem, that, I suddenly remembered that I still have something in the house that I haven't taken, why don't you go first?" ”

Xu Juan said: "You are not familiar with it when you first came to the house, why don't I accompany you on a trip." ”

Meng Zhou wants to cry without tears, the last thing she needs now is to be so enthusiastic.

"No, no, I remember the way."

Before Xu Juan could speak, only the afterimage of Dream Zhou and the breeze were left to pass by.

In this Huai'an Palace, except for Kong Qing, who dares to jump up and down all day long, the rest of the people have always been courteous and humble, so Kong Qing saw this meeting, and it was rare to sigh with emotion, "Wow, aunt, she is faster than running in vain." ”

“……”

“……”

Xu Juan waited in place for a long time and didn't see Mengzhou's figure, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "Ning'er, have you gone to see her back?" ”

"Yes."

"Auntie, can't we go to Daddy first? I think..."Kong Qingzheng said, his eyes lit up, and he rushed forward excitedly, "Daddy! ”

"Daddy, I miss you so much, Daddy, are you okay outside? Have you received a letter from Qing'er? ”

Jing Rong touched the empty green head and said gently: "Everything is fine, Qing'er's letter has also been received." ”

Kong Qing looked at June behind him and said, "That word was written by my brother who taught Qing'er, so my brother also misses my father very much, isn't it, brother." ”

"Father."

Hearing June's voice, Kongqing looked forward to it, begging for June to pop out a few more words, but the words fell silently. Kongqing stomped his feet with a wrinkled face, full of hatred that iron does not become steel.

"I see." Jing Rong reached out and patted June's head, and said softly, "Daddy misses you too." ”

June's clenched fist, which had been hidden under his sleeve, suddenly released.

Jing Rong stood up and said to Xu Wan: "You've worked hard these days. ”

"You guys, just come back."

The four eyes are facing each other, and everything is silent.

The past is like a dream, several times the soul dreams are with you, and now you meet the old people, I only hope that you will be safe, and the rest of your life can be crossed.
