On the night Mei Rong died, Chu Changting had no sleep all night. I got up very early in the morning to wash and change clothes, bypassed the mourning hall where Su Jin's body was parked, and went to Heyu Xuan.

At that time, Su He was also sleepless all night, sitting at the table with a haggard face, his eyes were hollow, and there were undried tears condensing on his chin, like crumbling raindrops on the eaves.

As soon as Chu Changting entered the house, he withdrew all his subordinates and walked to Su He's side, his voice with insomnia hoarseness and comforting softness: "Master Su, the festival mourns and changes." ”

Su He raised his head and glanced at Chu Changting lightly, and said with a gentle smile: "After all, I am to blame, and it is I who killed Jin'er." ”

Hearing Su He say this, although Chu Changting felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was relieved when he thought that he had lost his favorite sister after all, but he still had to pretend that his sister was okay at all. She looked at the corners of Su He's chapped mouth, poured a cup of tea for Su He with some distress, and said slowly: "Su Gongzi's top priority is to find out why Su Jin is insane. Since Su Jin died for me, then I am willing to stay in the Splendid Pavilion and try the food that all kinds of people bring to me every day, just waiting for the truth to come out. ”

“...... Miss Chu? Su He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Changting in astonishment, "You don't have to be so ......"

"It's wrong, but it's always my fault. I don't know how to relieve the pain of Su Gongzi's loss of his sister, and after thinking about it, I feel that this is the only way to do it, which is the best and most useful way. ”

"Miss Chu, I know you have a good heart." Su He sighed helplessly, looking at the young leaves in the teacup floating on the steaming cloud tea, turning around leisurely, as small and helpless as a lotus heart, "But you will return to the palace with the emperor in a few days, you still cherish yourself." In this way, it is the greatest benefit to the Su Mansion. ”

"I'm not Su Jin, why do I want to enter the palace?" Seeing that Su He had broken what he thought, Chu Changting frowned, "Last time for Su Jin was just an expedient measure, I can't live forever in Su Jin's coat." ”

"Miss Chu." Su He lowered his eyes, and the young leaves swirling in the tea cup were reflected in his green leaf-like eyes, "If Su Jin didn't enter the palace, the Su family would have been guilty of bullying the king." ”

"I owe the Su family a kindness, so I won't let me pay it back for the rest of my life." Chu Changting's eyes became cold, "If I have been suppressed under the name of this Su Jin for the rest of my life and imprisoned in the deep palace, I absolutely do not want to." ”

"Miss Chu, I asked someone to inquire about my brother's news, and I finally got the result yesterday." Su He's voice slowed down, as if he didn't want to use this as a last bargaining chip, "It was bought by the chef in the palace." The cook was a eunuch before, and was promoted by the emperor for making good dishes, and he has been living in the palace. He had no children under his knees, so he bought Ling Di to be his son and apprentice. ”

"Those places in the palace that eat people without blinking! How to ...... Nampo! Chu Changting couldn't speak anymore halfway through, his voice became weaker and weaker, and was gradually replaced by a choked voice. She clasped her hands to her face, her thin shoulders trembling, and tears slid down her delicate jaw.

Seeing Chu Changting's sad appearance, Su He understood her feelings as the eldest sister very well, and handed her a Jinpa with some emotion. Chu Changting trembled and took Jinpa to wipe the tears on his face, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably, I don't know if it was for Nanpu or for himself.

"Fate is really strange. In this way, I am determined to enter the palace. Chu Changting burst into tears, and suddenly laughed, with a bit of desolation and helplessness in his smile, like beads scattered all over the ground rolling to the end, and he had no more strength.

"Miss Chu, fate is sad, I don't blame Jin'er for dying for you, because I know that there are too many strange things going around here. Therefore, from now on, I will regard you as my own sister, and I will be good to you wholeheartedly. Su He looked at Chu Changting, although his tea-like face was haggard, but he did not lose his elegance, at this moment he looked at Chu Changting sparklingly, his tone was sincere and sincere, which made Chu Changting a little moved.

"That's it... Su Gongzi, don't talk about these scenes anymore. The kindness between you and me is intertwined, and I can't tell who owes and who owes, and fate is like this, then... Follow him. Chu Changting sighed, his hard eyes mixed with a bit of softness. She held the Jinpa in her hand and kneaded it vigorously, her nails with a glossy pale pink luster clasped tightly around the Jinpa, as if she was venting something.

Su He shook his head with a smile, covered the loneliness in his eyes, gently took a sip of Wangshan Yunwu tea, and buried his thoughts in a deep place.

Chu Changting returned to the Splendid Pavilion and met Su Zhilai. As soon as Su Zhi saw Chu Changting, his face immediately became gentle and kind, but in Chu Changting's eyes, he felt extremely hypocritical and pretentious. Su Zhi came up, grabbed Chu Changting's hand, and said with a smile: "Jin'er, where did you go this early in the morning, you are really the one who wants to be a concubine, it is very different from the past, and you are not even greedy for laziness?" ”

Chu Changting hadn't said a few words to Su Zhi, and he had always suspected that Su Zhi had two hearts, so he had to pretend to be close to her at this time, which made her very embarrassed in her heart. But what Chu Changting was most afraid of was acting, she sank her breath, and immediately put on a childlike look, put her hand on Su Zhi's hand affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Sister~ You are used to making fun of me!" ”

Su Zhi smiled, but the expression on his face gradually became strange. She rolled her eyes, hiding the disgust and jealousy in the depths of her eyes, and said in a seductive tone: "Jin'er, you were boating with the emperor that day, you don't know how worried I am, for fear that you will make that little kid angry to the emperor." ”

Always feeling that Su Zhi wanted to set his own words, Chu Changting was highly nervous, pondering every answer: "Sister, I can only play with the child's temper in front of my brothers and sisters." I know how to be measured in front of others. ”

"Eh, I haven't had time to ask you, you lost your temper that day, why did the eldest brother suddenly knock you out and take you away, the saint's car is almost at the door of the Splendid Pavilion, where did he take you at such a critical juncture." Su Zhiying smiled, but Chu Changting could hear a bit of gnashing of teeth in her tone. Chu Changting pouted, as if he was a little aggrieved: "My brother naturally reprimanded me and taught me not to make mistakes in front of the saints. But where did my brother knock me out? How could he be willing to put so much effort into it? It's just that I was in pain, and in order to scare him, I pretended to faint. Hum! ”

Su Zhi secretly thought in his heart, and for a while he couldn't tell whether Changting's words were true or false. She took Chu Changting and sat on the soft couch of the Splendid Pavilion, then waved her hand to let her subordinate serve a plate of sand fruits, and said with a smile: "Sister, look, my sister brought you your favorite sand fruit again!" After Na Mo Li's death, there were many more sand fruits in the warehouse, and my sister picked the best and sent them to you! ”

The sand fruit was bright red, like the color of blood, thickly covering Chu Changting's nerves. She was stunned, resisting her urge to gag - since the destruction of the Chu Mansion, she always couldn't help but gag when she saw this bright red and blood-like fruit - she tried to hold back a smile, and then choked her throat and said: "Sister, maybe it was because the plum makeup was peeled to death outside the courtyard of the Splendid Pavilion yesterday, I don't know why, my stomach has been churning and uncomfortable today, and I have no appetite when I see this favorite sea buckthorn fruit in the past." ”

"Oh......" A trace of viciousness and disappointment flashed in Su Zhi's eyes, but he was quickly caught by Chu Changting. Chu Changting's heart snorted, and her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with this sand fruit, so she hurriedly said, "But it's good to raise it for two days." Yan'er, quickly collect the sand fruit sent by my sister! ”

Hearing this, Yan Er quickly put away the sand fruit, Su Zhi's eyes flashed, and then he changed into a face like a virgin, and said softly: "Stomach disease is not a trivial matter, and it will not be good if you leave the root of the disease in the future." In this way, I'll ask the gentleman in the house to grab some medicine for you and come back to boil it. ”

"Good! Thank you, sister! My sister is so good to me! Realizing that this was another great opportunity to test whether Su Zhi had two hearts for Su Jin, Chu Changting reacted and laughed very quickly, then rubbed Su Zhi's shoulder blade, and said coquettishly, "Then sister, go quickly!" My stomach is so bloated right now! The days when you can't eat sand fruits are really bitter! ”

"Okay, okay, sister, let's go." Su Zhi smiled softly, and then left the Splendid Pavilion to help Chu Changting get stomach medicine. Chu Changting stood at the door, and after Su Zhi had already walked away, he hurriedly instructed Yan'er: "Quickly send half of this sand fruit to the eldest brother, just say that I specially sent it to him." Remember, be sure to say deliberately. ”

"Got it, miss." Yan Er's nerves were simple, and without thinking too much, he happily received half of the sand fruit into the small box and ran to Heyu Xuan. Chu Changting looked at the remaining half of the plate of sand fruits on the table with a complicated expression, and the simple Su Jin, who had absolute trust in his sister, suddenly came to mind, and under Su Weaving's gaze, he happily ate one after another sand fruits that had been drugged by Su Weaving, and unknowingly got madness, and finally died inexplicably.

"Su Jin, after all, I owe you once. This time you're in the Heavenly Spirit, so take a good look. ”

Qingyi City, Wenxiang Street, the lights are on, and they are colorful. Yi Lunhuan was pacing in a light blue robe, wearing men's makeup, following him with a masked face, his eyes were empty and gloomy, as if he had lost his soul.

The teahouses on both sides of the restaurant came from the sound of the merchant girl, and the red room of the green building smiled and the red sleeves were fragrant. Yi Lunhuan hated this kind of wind and snow, and kept walking in the middle of the road with a frown and a cold face, for fear of being contaminated with the dust on both sides, so although he had a handsome face, few girls dared to rush forward to pick up his guests.

When he walked to Huamanlou, Yi Lunhuan stopped, raised his head and carefully looked at the most prosperous and noisy building on the entire street, his eyes were cold.

"Prince Wang, do you want to go in and have a look?" Mei Makeup said lightly, her voice as dull as a wood carving.

Before Yi Lunhuan could answer, the delicate voice wrapped around Yi Lunhuan's arm - "This master is so raw, did he come from another city to eat his mouth?" ”

Yi Lunhuan squinted in disgust at the bewitching woman who was wrapping around his arm like a water snake, his eyes became gloomy, and his voice was gloomy and cold: "Let go." ”

As if she was startled by Yi Lunhuan's cold attitude, the woman was stunned for a moment before slowly letting go of the hand wrapped around Yi Lunhuan's arm. But she still smiled coquettishly, her peach blossom eyes hooked towards Yi Lunhuan charmingly, and her voice was charming: "How can this master be cold, it scared the little woman." As he spoke, he saw Mei Makeup standing behind Yi Lunhuan again, so he walked to Mei Makeup's side and climbed on her shoulder, saying, "This young master is so thin, come with me into the building, and I'll feed you well." ”

Mei Xiang was aroused by this woman's excessive enthusiasm and goosebumps, she wanted to immediately beat the woman in front of her into the dirt, but she still tried her best to hold back, and then stiffly said, "Get out!" ”

was scolded by two people in a row, and the woman's face finally looked a little unsightly. Her eyes rose with anger, and she whispered as she turned around and walked towards the Huamanlou: "What are you angry, what are you pretending to be high when you come to such a realm." ”

Hearing the woman's broken words, Mei Xiang grabbed the short sword on her waist and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Yi Lunhuan with an outstretched arm, and said coldly: "No need." ”

Yi Lunhuan took a deep breath and strode into the Huamanlou, the smell of rouge gouache from the floor made his stomach churn. He used his internal force to regulate his physical discomfort, and sat in the highest position with the guidance of the turtle slave, retreated all the women, overlooked the entire Huamanlou, and scanned every detail.

The woman who was rejected by the two just now stood on the first floor, squinting at the two with a superior temperament sitting on the second floor with bewitching peach blossom eyes, with a trace of inquiry and curiosity floating on her face. Another prostitute on the side saw her standing there in a daze, stepped forward and scratched her ribs, and then laughed: "Sister Chun'er, what's wrong today?" Look at your god-like appearance, why, finally have an official to look at? ”

"Don't mess around." That woman was Chun'er, and she wore heavy and delicate makeup tonight—the day she first met Su He was a month ago today. Chun'er playfully hooked the corners of her mouth and whispered, "Why don't you come with Shengyi?" ”

"Sister Chun'er, what are you talking about? What is born and not born? The prostitute asked curiously.

"It's fine. Why are you so idle tonight? Pick up the guests! Chun'er smiled and sent the prostitute away, and then carefully looked at Yi Lunhuan and Mei Makeup for a while, and a weird smile slowly appeared on her face.
