Xie Fenghua felt like he was in a dream.

In that dream, someone kept calling her name. The voice was soft and beautiful, and it rang in her ears like this, and her head, which had been heavy, fell asleep with the sound.

When she woke up again, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

"Awake?" A gentle voice sounded in her ears, and she was suddenly stunned, and her head went blank for a moment. Why is this voice so similar to the one in the dream?

After the hangover, her thoughts were confused and blank, and she subconsciously frowned, and suddenly a hand reached out beside her to caress the fold between her eyebrows. Gently, itchy, like a cat's claw scratching the palm of the hand, the tip of the heart trembled, and the cowering but curious to meet it.

Xie Fenghua's thoughts were all pulled by that hand, and it took a long time to react.

She turned her head slowly, her face still had some confusion on her face, and when she saw Yuan Minzhou lying on her side, her head seemed to suddenly explode with fireworks, and she pointed at him in disbelief: "Hou...... Hou Ye...... How do you ......"

Why are you lying in my bed?

She didn't have time to ask the whole sentence, but found that she was leaning on Yuan Minzhou's arms, the distance between the two was so close, so close that his breath was full of his breath, and even the sound of a steady and powerful heartbeat could be heard.

She blinked, a little confused.

Since they got married, they have never had such close contact. She is not very sensitive to this kind of thing, and Yuan Minzhou pretends to be dead all the time in her heart, so she naturally refrains from keeping a distance from each other.

Speaking of which, this is the first time this has happened!

Under that gaze, Yuan Minzhou was not so calm.

Actually, he was reckless last night. Knowing the answer from her mouth, he still couldn't restrain his emotions and do such crazy things while she was drunk.

Afterwards, he calmed down and was also very annoyed.

When he first heard those words, he didn't think carefully about the meaning. Although I knew that drunk people don't lie, I thought about it and realized that there were many irrationalities in it.

For example, why is Xie Fenghua still alive, but he has changed his identity?

After pondering, a wave of irritation welled up in his heart—he shouldn't have been so impulsive.

I've waited so long, why don't you wait for her to wake up and make sure?

If it was really the person he had in mind, but he took the opportunity to do such a stupid thing, how would he face it? But if it weren't for that person, wouldn't he be even more wicked?

In such uneasiness, he did not close his eyes all night.

And since she woke up, he paid even more nervous attention to the look on her face. Seeing her go from being confused to unbelievable, her heart also followed. Even, he took the initiative to take Xie Fenghua into his arms.

Preemptively, it's always right!

Xie Fenghua felt that the stimulation he received in his previous life was definitely not as much as at this moment.

Feeling his movements, those confused emotions suddenly dissipated, and she finally realized a problem, pointed at him and said, "Master Hou, why are you ......?"

"What?" Yuan Minzhou gently brushed away the hair covering her face, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Fenghua, if I hadn't discovered your identity, how long would you have to hide it from me?" ”

This soft call completely woke Xie Fenghua from his ignorance. She lifted her upper body suddenly, slammed into Yuan Minzhou's forehead, and immediately fell back into the mattress with a golden eye.

If Yuan Minzhou was still a little calm before, he slowly relaxed at this moment, reached out to help her rub her forehead, and said softly: "There is time for you to speak slowly, why be so excited?" ”

Xie Fenghua suddenly grabbed the hand on his forehead, stepped forward again, carefully observed his expression, and asked tentatively, "Master Hou, what did I say last night?" ”

Her memory seems to be only stuck in the time when she was drunk. Although she also had a vague impression of what happened afterward, she couldn't remember what she had said.

But she was sure of what she had said.

What's more, inadvertently revealing your identity?

She looked over suspiciously, but saw Yuan Minzhou suddenly lowered his head, pressed against her forehead, and stroked her hair with one hand, but his eyes were tightly locked on her face.

I heard him say softly: "You said yesterday that your name is Xie Fenghua." I just slept and didn't remember? ”

Xie Fenghua breathed a sigh of relief, "That's what you're talking about......"

Unexpectedly, her calm and calm look made him feel a nameless fire in his heart, and with his arms wrapped, he tightly wrapped her in his arms, and said in a tone that was secretly dangerous: "Shouldn't you explain to me why you have become Xie Fenghua?" And why ......?"

And why, when he is clearly like that, he doesn't tell him directly, allowing him to fall into the emotions of longing day after day and can't extricate himself?

Xie Fenghua also understood his attitude, so he also said, "Who does Master Hou want me to be?" ”

"Naturally, it's ......" Yuan Minzhou subconsciously wanted to answer her, but when he met such a clear light, his eyes sank, and he immediately swallowed those unspoken words back into his stomach.

Xie Fenghua didn't have as many worries as him, and said to himself: "Master Hou, it's not that I don't tell you, but I don't know where to start." At the beginning, after the battle in Mocheng, I had disappeared from this world. When I woke up again, she was already my own sister. I couldn't believe such a strange thing at first, how dare I tell you? ”

Moreover, when she first woke up, the Xie family fell into all kinds of frame-ups again, and she was all about the death of her previous life and the 50,000 reinforcements, where did she have the energy to admit her identity to him?

Now that she has pierced this layer of paper, and Yuan Minzhou has not shown an unacceptable attitude, she has also put her mind at ease, and the whole person is lazily nestled in his arms, showing a relaxed state.

Now so, it seems good?

And Yuan Minzhou's body stiffened, but the next moment he hugged her violently and called her name softly.

The autumn breeze sneaked in from the window, brushing the exposed skin on his shoulders, Xie Fenghua shrank down, and subconsciously drilled into the warm place.

But she didn't want to, this simple action made Yuan Minzhou's body tense up again, she raised her eyes in confusion, but felt that under the black shadow in front of her, Yuan Minzhou's handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her.

The eyes are deep and tender, teaching people to indulge in them unconsciously.

Xie Fenghua's heart moved, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and trace the outline along the sword eyebrows. She was about to say something, but she saw him suddenly fall down, and the warm breath was mixed with a faint pine fragrance, occupying all her thoughts.

After the affection, Xie Fenghua fell asleep again. When she woke up again, there was no longer Yuan Minzhou in the room, she lifted the quilt and got up, endured the discomfort on her body, and walked out of the door after getting dressed.

At that time, Changying was guarding the courtyard, and when he saw her come out, he immediately lowered his head, trotted forward, knelt down on one knee and whispered: "My subordinates have seen Marshal Xie." ”

Xie Fenghua glanced at him in surprise, but raised his hand to signal him to get up, and said lightly: "Get up." Hou Ye told you my identity? ”

Changying nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of admiration, "Marshal, how did you become a young lady?" No, how did you possess the young lady? ”

If he hadn't heard Hou Ye say it with his own ears, he would have thought that he had encountered a ghost.

"That's a long story." Xie Fenghua glanced at him, and in his expectant gaze, he slowly spoke, "However, I don't plan to tell you." ”

Changying suddenly hung his head in frustration.

"Don't call him a marshal in the future. Call the young lady directly! Remember? Xie Fenghua put his hands behind his back, looked around, and asked, "What about Master Hou?" ”

Changying said: "Dou Chengshou came to discuss peace with Hou Ye, at this time, people should be in the city guard's mansion, right?" ”

Xie Fenghua asked other questions, and the two of them talked about the situation in the four northern cities. She suddenly remembered the mother and son in Linzhou, and couldn't help asking, "Is Linzhou still Gan Ying in charge?" ”

"Yes." Changying was a little strange why she asked this alone, "The two countries negotiated peace, and Linzhou and Jingzhou have also returned to their former state. Some ministers proposed that the two city guards of Linzhou and Jingzhou be removed from their official positions and escorted to Yunzhou to wait for the emperor's disposal. But the emperor's will has not yet come, and the Hou Ye does not dare to make a decision privately......"

After a pause, he cautiously asked, "Marshal, what's wrong?" ”

Thinking of all the things in Gan Ying's mansion, Xie Fenghua's heart suddenly sank, but he didn't say it directly, but said: "After Master Hou comes back, you let him come to me." ”

Now, the injuries on her body have almost healed, and she is also going to Linzhou.

At the beginning, when she left, Gan Tiansheng had not woken up, and Aunt Hua's body was still hidden in the wine cellar. After being delayed for so long, what is the situation with the mother and son?

Xu had something in her heart, and she didn't pay attention to the hour, but she sat in the courtyard for three hours. When she came back to her senses, she looked up and saw that night was approaching.

Just as she was about to get up and go outside, there was a person at the gate of the courtyard, her face was happy, and she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, you are back!" ”

Yuan Minzhou and Dou Zhong talked about business for a day, and they were already very tired, but when they heard this, the fatigue dissipated, and their hearts shook a few times.

Like his wife who has been waiting at home for a long time, greeting her husband who returns home at dusk, he looked at Xie Fenghua in front of him, and suddenly had an illusion, as if they were not a couple who had just met in another life, but a partner who had gone through most of their lives together.

In an instant, he felt that so many years of waiting was worth it!

Xie Fenghua saw that he was staring at himself but didn't speak, so he shouted at him again.

He finally came back to his senses, gathered his extra thoughts, naturally took her hand, and asked as he walked, "I heard Changying say, do you have something to look for me?" ”

Xie Fenghua was already informal, and he didn't notice his movements because he had something in his heart, and replied: "I heard that you are going back to Yunzhou tomorrow?" ”

"You guys?" Yuan Minzhou stopped and looked at her very puzzled, "You're not with me?" ”

Xie Fenghua nodded, "Linzhou City Guard Gan Ying, you must know it, right?" He has a son who has helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, I might not have been able to get the Linzhou Pass so quickly, and then rush to Jincheng as quickly as possible. When I left, he was injured and unconscious, and I had to go back and see. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear a voice for a long time, and she couldn't help but look up. But he saw that Yuan Minzhou was looking at him, with a smile in his eyes, and he didn't know if he had listened to what he had just said.

poked his arm with his hand, but he held it with his backhand, and then listened to him: "Fenghua, don't you think that you look like a little wife who reports her whereabouts?" ”

Xie Fenghua was about to beat him, but he hugged him and was about to break free, but he sighed: "Fenghua, you are still here, I am very happy." ”

The movement of breaking free suddenly stopped.

Xie Fenghua smiled, quietly wrapped his hands around his back, and hugged him back.

……

Early the next morning.

When Yuan Minzhou and the envoys of the Northern Darkness embarked on the road back to Yunzhou, Xie Fenghua also went to Linzhou. As soon as she entered the city, she sneaked over the wall into the castle guard's mansion and went straight to the cellar. But I found that there was no Aunt Hua in the wine cellar, and after sniffing it carefully, I didn't smell any peculiar smell, and I had a faint guess in my heart.

After leaving the City Shou Mansion, she went directly to the Qinglou, but learned from Su Weijing that Gan Tiansheng had already left after waking up.

Xie Fenghua made a special trip to come here, but he couldn't find anyone at the moment, and there was no other way for a while. led the horse and was about to leave the city, but she heard someone shouting to her from behind, and when she looked back, it was Gan Tiansheng, who was nowhere to be found.

It turned out that after Gan Tiansheng left the Qinglou, he secretly returned to the city guard's mansion. He was originally an unfavored concubine in the house, and no one would have thought that he had done anything, but it was convenient for him to go to Aunt Hua.

After this search, I found the cellar.

Although Xie Fenghua had simply cleaned up for Aunt Hua, when he saw the scars on Aunt Hua's body, he could also guess what had happened before.

At that moment, he longed to break Gan Tian's body into pieces.

Later, he took Aunt Hua to escape from the chaos and found a place to bury her.

Xie Fenghua saw that he was a little in good spirits, and said worriedly: "Next, what are your plans?" ”

"I don't know." Gan Tiansheng shook his head.

Until then, he just wants to live in peace. You may not have much money and can't afford too much osmanthus cake, but at least you can live well. Now, there is a man who is still so humiliating because he is dead, he feels that he might as well die.

Xie Fenghua handed him a cup of tea and asked, "You know all about Aunt Hua?" ”

Seeing him nod, she suddenly said, "I'm sorry." If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in such trouble. Aunt Hua won't just die like that......"

"The young lady is serious." Gan Tiansheng smiled reluctantly, "If it weren't for you, my life would probably be gone." I can only say that Aunt Hua and I are destined to suffer this catastrophe. It's all fate, and I admit it. ”

He smiled bitterly, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, and that face looked even more old, as if he had seen the ups and downs of his life. He should be younger than Dou Changke, and he should have lived so carefree, who knew that he would have to suffer so many tribulations!

Thinking that the culprit of all this was himself, Xie Fenghua couldn't wait to slap himself.

But she couldn't do this in front of Gan Tiansheng, she could only rack her brains and think about how to compensate him. After a while, she asked, "Master Gan, if you don't know where to go, are you willing to go to Tianjing with me?" ”

Gan Tiansheng was stunned, and soon understood her intentions, and said with great gratitude: "The young lady saved my life and found a hiding place for Aunt Hua, I have nothing to repay, how dare I trouble you again?" Leaving the city guard's mansion, the world is big, where can't I go? ”

Xie Fenghua wanted to persuade him again, but he was rejected several times, so he could only give up.

Until she got up to say goodbye, she didn't mention Aunt Hua again.

At the beginning, I promised Aunt Hua to protect her identity. But Xie Fenghua was in too much of a hurry when he left, and he didn't have time to hide his white hair, if Gan Tiansheng saw it, would he think of anything?

Xie Fenghua was a little uneasy, but Gan Tiansheng didn't ask about related things, as if this person disappeared from the world and disappeared, and it was not worth remembering anymore.

When they parted, she stood tall on her horse and watched Gan Tiansheng walk to the end of the long street, and suddenly had the illusion that he already knew everything. Moments later, she shook her head again and rode out of the gates.

As the autumn mood intensified, Gan Tiansheng gathered his thin clothes, walked through the streets and alleys of Linzhou, bought a pot of wine in a roadside tavern, and climbed to a secluded hillside in the east of the city.

His body had not fully recovered, and he was already out of breath when he reached the top of the slope.

walked a few steps forward, sat down next to a tombstone, poured some wine from the wine jug, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I saw the young lady today, and she was with you before you died, right?" ”

On that day, when he found the wine cellar and saw the gray hair, he finally knew the identity of Aunt Hua - his mother.

After some inquiry and confirmation, he finally learned about those unknown pasts.

Those people said that his mother abandoned her husband and children, and was ruthless and unjust.

But he saw the unavoidable suffering that was buried deeply.

He raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said, "Today, the young lady asked me to go to Tianjing with her, but I refused. I knew she might be pitiful and wanted to get me out of here. ”

After a pause, he added, "She's a good person." ”

However, his life can only be decided by himself, and even good people can't do anything.

After a few more words, he got up and left.

Autumn in Linzhou was getting colder, and the sun was shining warmly on his body, but he tightened his clothes and strode down the slope. The wind blew his white hair, like fluttering snow, reflecting the withering season.

Winter is coming.

……

"Winter is coming!" Xie Fenghua wrapped himself in a cloak and said with a smile.

After separating from Gan Tiansheng that day, she took a shortcut to catch up with the convoy of Yuan Minzhou and others.

At this moment, the convoy was stopping in a post station for a short rest.

She was not idle, and ran to the outside of the post station with Yuan Minzhou, so that she could see the scenery. After this rush, she was sore all over, and she wished that she could end such a bumpy day as soon as possible.

Fortunately, we are about to arrive in Yunzhou.

Yuan Minzhou changed her into a warmer cloak, took her hand again, put it to her mouth, and said, "Why do you feel a little weak in this body?" When I arrived in Yunzhou, I wanted to find a doctor to take a look. ”

"Don't bother, right?" Xie Fenghua didn't care much, he just felt that he was making a big fuss.

But he didn't want to, but Yuan Minzhou took the opportunity to lean into her ear and whispered, "What's the trouble here?" What should be seen is still to be watched, otherwise how can the mother hold her grandson as soon as possible? ”

Xie Fenghua's face was hot, and he kicked it over. Seeing him clutching his knees and screaming in pain, she suddenly burst out laughing, and her whole face became more and more vibrant.

"Come on! Get up! She stretched out her hand to Yuan Minzhou, but she didn't want to, Yuan Minzhou took advantage of her surprise, pulled her into his arms, and took the opportunity to kiss her earlobe.

Her body trembled, her face was hot, and she glanced at him angrily, but she didn't break free from his embrace.

After knowing her identity, Yuan Minzhou seemed to have changed as a person, and the actions that he thought could not happen to him before were now done by him, but they came easily.

Whenever she wanted to get angry or express something dissatisfied, he looked at her quietly. She thought she was thick-skinned enough, but she didn't dare to meet such a gaze, for fear that one would drown in his tenderness if she didn't pay attention.

And the frolicking movements of these two people also attracted the attention of some people in the station.

Tomorrow Xiang stood in front of a window somewhere on the second floor, looking at the two people downstairs who were snuggling and laughing at each other, and a trace of gloom crossed her eyes.

Yuqin, the personal palace maid, said disdainfully: "Eldest princess, these two people are really shameless!" In front of the public, I actually hugged and hugged me, and I was not afraid of others watching the joke! ”

Tomorrow Xiang glanced at her and said, "What can you say this?" Palm! ”

Yuqin was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and slapped her face fiercely.

Tomorrow Xiang looked upset, so she walked out and pushed open the room on the left.

There was a woman sitting in the room, and when she saw her angrily breaking in, a trace of panic crossed her face, and she hurriedly curtsied and said, "I've seen the eldest princess." ”

When Tomorrow Xiang saw this face, she suddenly lost her anger, closed the door, and beckoned her fist to the woman's body. The woman didn't dare to dodge, so she could only close her eyes and weep as she took these fists.

After a while, Tomorrow Xiang was also tired, sat on the chair without any image, pointed at the woman and said, "What are you crying about?" If it weren't for you, why would this palace have traveled thousands of miles to suffer these humiliations? ”

What happened in the forest farm that day had nothing to do with her. She was just a victim, but for the sake of the lowly person in front of her, she had to self-destruct, and she gritted her teeth and admitted this shame.

Because she didn't dare to bet!

Yuan Minzhou occupied a pivotal position in the peace talks. If she angered him and missed a big event, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Thinking of the grievances suffered by Pingbai, and seeing the woman in front of her crying with tears, Tomorrow Xiang's whole person became extremely irritable, and immediately pushed open the door and walked out.

happened to meet Xie Fenghua and the two who came hand in hand.

Xie Fenghua was quite surprised, looked behind her, but saw a woman in the room crying in a low voice.

She roughly captured the silhouette of the man, and wanted to take a closer look, but saw that Tomorrow Xiang had slammed the door shut, and had to withdraw her gaze.

After a pleasant greeting with Tomorrow Xiang, the two walked back.

Two days later, the convoy finally returned to Yunzhou.
