As soon as the emperor's edict of accountability reached Yong'an City, the military department acted quickly and seized the Joy Place. The main body of the house was found to have committed suicide by poisoning himself, and many innocent maiko were displaced.

It is said that after leaving the Joy Workshop, Zhang Gongzi, the benefactor of light yarn, failed to lend a helping hand in times of crisis, but a simple rice merchant accepted her, so that light yarn was good; Ling Bu went to the former rival's house in Joy Fang, and got along there; Yingge has been depressed, and finally settled in a small workshop to become a pianist...... Of course, these things happened for a long time after the closure of Joy Place, and I will not repeat the various things in the process.

Far away in the Qin Mansion in the capital, Duan Qin was concentrating on reading the letters that King Jing brought her.

The letter said that Helian Luang, who had ascended the throne as the king, had basically stabilized the situation in the snow country, and last month he also married Qi Qige, the daughter of the national teacher Qi Lian, as the queen, and the maid Qingping was also named a side concubine because of her meritorious service...... Duanqin closed the letter and smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she is able to deal with it all calmly. Helian Luang, she really let go.

Qin Fu, who was sitting behind the desk reading a book, heard his wife "sigh" and thought something was wrong: "What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?" Recently, Duanqin's appetite is obviously not very good, and he only eats a little bit of food, and he wants to ask the doctor to come and see it, but she thinks he is making a fuss.

"No, I'm fine. It's ...... you" Duanqin sat down beside Qin Fu, pointed to the scroll he was reading, and said, "I just saw that you were reading this page, why didn't you turn the page for a long time?" I think you're uncomfortable, and you've been soulless all day. ”

"Qin'er, you've heard about it too...... My brother's business. Qin Fu looked at his wife with a complicated expression and explained, "Today...... It was the day of his punishment. "At three o'clock in the afternoon today, Qin Yan's body will be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to be whipped and beheaded in public.

"No wonder you're upset! Go ahead and secretly give him one last ride. "Regardless of whether Qin Fu is the biological son of a scholar of Qin University, after all, he is also the elder brother that Qin Fu has called for twenty years. Duanqin could understand his mood and had no intention of hindering her husband.

"Qin'er......" Qin Fu kissed his wife's forehead movingly, very grateful: "Thank you!" ”

Duanqin shook his head, turned his face to look at his daughter who was sleeping soundly in the crib in the inner room, and then looked back at her husband's eyes and said, "You and I are husband and wife, don't say the word 'thanks'." ”

Qin Fu nodded heavily, put on his cloak and hurried to the Dharma field.

When Qin Fu arrived, the outer circle of the court was already surrounded by water. He fastened the hood from his cloak to his head and squeezed it slightly forward as far as he could. At the same time, in the corner where everyone is not paying attention, there is also such a mysterious person who hides himself tightly with a dark cloak is watching.

As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon arrived, the executioner carried Qin Yan's body to the execution platform to prepare for execution. As usual, the executioner took a sip of liquor and sprayed it on the leather whip used for execution. Although the prisoner had been lost for a long time, the executioner still followed the proper steps.

Execution begins! Chu Peitian threw out a lottery with an expressionless face.

The long whip crackled on the corpse, and the already swollen corpse was quickly peeled open under the sudden external force, and even streams of putrefaction flowed. Whether it was the scene at that time or the unpleasant smell it emitted, it made the onlookers sick and disgusting.

With each whip of the executioner, the two of them hidden under different cloaks couldn't help but shudder secretly. Qin Fu only glanced at it twice and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he clenched his sleeves tightly for fear that he would cry out in grief.

Just as the flogging was over and the executioner was about to change his knife and prepare to behead him, a dark cloak spun and flew from under the stage, covering the executioner's head and face at once.

"Who? Who is it! The executioner struggled and shouted angrily, and Chu Peitian, who saw that something was wrong, also reacted quickly and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to be under martial law.

No sooner had the executioner removed the cloak from his head than a red light flashed before his eyes, and then he fell to the ground motionless, the fatal wound on his throat bubbling with blood.

"Someone robbed the Dharma Field! Fast! Take down this thief for this official! Chu Peitian shouted as he retreated to a safe area.

A masked woman in a red shirt holding twin thorns stood proudly on the execution platform, her eyes like a torch, and she looked at the officers and soldiers who wanted to round her up with resentment. She scooped up Qin Yan's body and put it behind her back, glanced at the shrunken Chu Peitian with disdain, and said, "With my ghost night owl here, see which of you dares to touch the corpse of the sect master!" ”

"Zi ......" Qin Fu recognized the person on the stage as Zi Xiao at a glance, and just as he was about to make a call, he was covered by a hand that suddenly stretched out behind him.

"Don't make a sound. Unless you don't want to live anymore. A familiar voice came from behind Qin Fu's ears, and when he heard this, he immediately stiffened and didn't dare to move. The person behind him chuckled: "The second son comes with me." ”

Qin Fu turned around abruptly, and followed the "acquaintance" who only showed the back of his head to a remote alley outside the crowd.

"The second son can still recognize the minion, the minion is really flattered!" Ah Mo, who was dressed as a woman and changed his hair color, gave a salute to Qin Fu.

"Amo? It's really you! It's great that you're alive! Qin Fu looked back at the court frequently worriedly, listening to the chaotic sounds, presumably Zixiao had already fought with the officers and soldiers. He was so anxious that he pulled Laamo's arm: "Zixiao is in danger now, aren't you going to save her?" ”

Amo shook his head lonely: "I can't save her." She had already escaped death, but she had to go back to find her own way to die, and none of us could save her. ”

"Why? Aren't you with her? Qin Fu excitedly held Ah Mo's shoulder, he didn't want to watch Zixiao die like this!

"We escaped separately and haven't been in touch since. I thought that today's execution of the master, according to her temperament, she will definitely come to rob the law field. So he came here to try his luck, just to stop her before she could act impulsively. It's a pity that I'm still a step late......" For Zixiao, he can't help more except guilt.

"Could it be that we two big men just watched her die and did nothing?" Qin Fu angrily picked up Ah Mo's collar. If someone passes by the alley at this time, they will be stunned by the strange scene in front of them - a young man is angrily coercing a tall lady, and I don't know which family I think is the son of the family who is angry with the concubine!

Ah Mo indifferently brushed away Qin Fu's hand and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?" Do you want to save her at the risk of being accused of being an accomplice to the rebels? Have you ever thought about the consequences? What about your princess wife and daughter? ”

Ah Mo sneered, as if a heavy punch had been smashed into Qin Fu's chest, and it was so painful that it was hard to breathe! Yes, he still has a family, and he can't abandon them. Qin Fu, who had calmed down, didn't know what to do.

Ah Mo finally looked in the direction of the law field and made a difficult decision, he patted Qin Fu on the shoulder and said, "Ah Mo wants to trouble the second son, go to see Zimo for me, and give this to her by the way." He took out a pack of Yanjin plums hidden in his sleeve and stuffed them into Qin Fu's hands. He thought he would never get a chance to deliver it again.

"Amo, where are you going?" Qin Fu wanted to know where Amo went.

"I don't know. But the second son is right, I can't stay here and watch Zixiao die with my own eyes. So, I'm going to go first. The second son, go back too, don't let the important people worry......" The last sentence seemed to be said to Qin Fu, and he was also saying it to himself. After saying that, he disappeared without a trace, leaving Qin Fu alone in the alley to make a difficult decision.

There was a sudden commotion outside the alley, could it be that Zixiao was captured? Qin Fu hurriedly ran out to find out, and the scene that caught his eye made him extremely shocked and unforgettable.

Zixiao knelt on the torture table, her body had been pierced by countless spears, and the blood had dyed her crimson clothes purple. is obviously a tragic picture, but at this moment, it reflects a strange poignancy in everyone's minds. Why? Probably because of the satisfied smile on the woman's lips.

Zixiao hugged Qin Yan's body tightly in her arms, as if it was a rare treasure, and like her beloved lover. The cold sharp weapon connected their bodies together, and the heat of the blood finally melted the distance between them. She never wanted to be separated from him again.

The dried plums fell from Qin Fu's hands, and the naughty plums scattered and fell to the ground. And Qin Fu couldn't move at all, he stared at the two corpses snuggled together in a daze, and shed tears.

It turned out that the person Zixiao had been hiding in her heart was Qin Yan, she waited silently for him and paid wholeheartedly, but she never asked for a trace of return! Zixiao, you are the stupidest and stupidest woman in the world!

Zixiao, you finally died in the arms of the person you love, do you have no regrets? Qin Fu wiped away his tears, turned around and strode away.

Another remnant of the rebellious party was ambushed, and the emperor was relieved and inevitably worried about the fugitive of the other person, so he intensified his wanted arrest of Mo Jian.

Luan drove back to the imperial capital Yong'an at the end of October, and before Duan Yulin could unload his exhaustion, trouble came to his door. The most tricky thing at the moment is the orphan of the eldest princess of Hongluan-Du Xuexian.

This Du Xuexian, twenty-two years old and not yet out of the cabinet, is a real old girl! After all, she is the daughter of the eldest sister, so she can't let it go. Although she still has a sister, Du Honglian has been married for many years, and it is always difficult to take her sister to her husband's house to support her; Duan Yulin thought about bringing this poor niece to the palace, but she didn't want to! It was really sad for him.

Fortunately, Fang Da was clever and reminded Duan Yulin - what Du Xuexian needs most now is not only a place to stay, but more importantly, to find a lifelong support for her.

Isn't he just a matchmaker, he's good at this! But once he considered the issue of candidates, Duan Yulin made another difficulty. Which of the young talents in Yong'an City is willing to marry an old girl who has a dead father and has no support? The older ones don't mind, Xuexian can only be a concubine when she marries. The emperor didn't want to be notorious for treating his niece badly.

After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out, and finally simply summoned Xuexian and asked her to choose her husband by herself. As a result, Xue Xian's words were amazing, and he actually said frankly that he would not marry a prince in this life! What a good thing that is! Duan Yulin has a headache.

However, the marriage must always take into account the parties' own intentions, so the next day he summoned the prince to ask him about his intentions. What made the emperor even more sad was that the prince actually refused without thinking about it! The emperor was angry, slapped the table and reprimanded: "Can't you understand your father's difficulties at all? Xue Xian is too old to marry her, what will you do if you call her? ”

"Father, son, son......" The prince was about to explain, but was stunned by Duan Yulin's glare.

"Shut up and listen to me." Duan Yulin continued angrily to "know with reason, move with affection": "Xuexian is your cousin, why can't you pity her?" And no one forces you to raise your eyebrows with her, just marry her and raise it. ”

"Father, the crown princess has just passed away. If you marry now, will you ...... "The prince has no intention of Xuexian, and it is during the new funeral of his wife, which makes no sense!

"It's okay, people will be admitted to the Lintoe Palace first, and it's not too late to make up for the wedding in the first half of the year." Anyway, Du Xuexian probably doesn't care about these.

"Then this ...... prince is not good at proportion.

"Let's give Liangdi's identity first." The emperor decided for him.

"Everything is according to my father's arrangement." Duan Yingting had no choice but to accept his fate.

Xuexian finally got her wish, but no one knows whether the road ahead will be smooth sailing.
