"I'm here to take you away, don't be afraid, I've solved all the people outside, you're fine, I'll take you home." Su Xiaran smiled lightly, picked up Xu Ruoyun and walked outside.

Ye Moqing wanted to take over Xu Ruoyun, he didn't want Su Xiaran to be tired, but Su Xiaran shook his head, the current Xu Ruoyun is like a frightened bird, and others can't touch her.

Back at the inn, Su Xiaran gently put Xu Ruoyun on the bed, changed her shabby clothes, and gave her medicine by the way.

Unbuttoning his shirt and seeing the large and small wounds on his back, the hatred in Su Xiaran's heart became stronger and stronger.

I saw that the marks of the whipping on the back overlapped the old and the new, and the bruises of the sticks, some of which were already black, some of which were bloodshot, and some of the places where they were cut with knives were already deep in the white bones, and some of the flesh was turned outward, and it looked very penetrating.

Su Xiaran held back her tears, but her hands trembled uncontrollably, these people ...... How ruthless are these people?!

Ruoyun she ...... What have you been through?

Su Xiaran kept trembling during the process of giving Xu Ruoyun the medicine, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Since she met Xu Ruoyun, this little girl from Fenglin has no half-point county lord's frame, she is simple and kind, as long as she is a friend she identifies, she will help her with her heart and lungs.

Such a girl, why? Why should she suffer everything that she shouldn't have suffered, the struggle for power, the troubled war, what does it have to do with her? She is just a simple little girl, but she was born in the emperor's family, is this the calamity that every child of the emperor's family should have?

You can't love what you love, you can't protect your relatives, you will do whatever it takes for the interests of the powerful, and you can even go to your relatives and unjust places.

The king of Fenglin, isn't it rumored that the world loves this little county lord Xu Ruoyun the most? Why did she go to war without regard for her daughter's life?

This imperial family! O human heart!

It's unpredictable, it's unpredictable!

Powerful! Benefits!

I lost my heart and lost myself!

Su Xiaran felt infinite emotion in her heart, but she couldn't change this fate after all, because this is human nature, no one can change it, and no one will try to change it, because it is undoubtedly asking for hardship.

Qi Nuan's words were simply like a few slaps to herself, she came to send a letter to Brother Xiao for her sister, Sister Ruoyun went to Nanqiu Kingdom because of "the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker", saying that she was looking for her son-in-law, and if she couldn't find it, she kept looking for it, and Brother Ye Moqing sent a message back, saying that the county lord of Fenglin, that is, Sister Ruoyun, already had a sweetheart, let Brother Chu Xiao give up, don't ruin the plan. So she played the role of an errand runner, but the scene in front of her was ...... Hey, it's hard for Brother Chu Xiao, it's clear that Brother Chu Xiao and Sister Ruoyun are the best match.

The air seemed to freeze, Chu Xiao's white and slender index finger brushed the body of the wine jug, and the corners of his lips were still cold arcs, "Qi Nuan, you are not deeply involved in the world, there are still many things you can't understand in this world, some people will use her behavior to tell you that there are no ifs in this world, never trust anyone, and don't have any hope." ”

Qi Nuan's heart suddenly hurt, she felt sorry for this man, thinking about how good he had been to Sister Ruoyun, and how good he had been to Sister Ruoyun, she felt sorry for Sister Ruoyun, and felt sorry for him, why can't a lover finally become a family? If he can say such a thing, he must feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"Brother Xiao, don't be sad, Xiao Nuan will drink with you, I will definitely tell my father and mother when I go back, and let them cancel your marriage with the Shen family. You go to Nanqiu to chase your sister, Xiao Nuan supports you! Qi Nuan raised his head and drank a cup after his words fell, coughing spicily, and his cheeks suddenly turned crimson.

Qi Nuan only felt uncomfortable in her stomach, even more uncomfortable than eating chili peppers, her body has been sick since she was a child, spicy food has never been eaten, spicy wine enters her throat, and it is strange to feel good.

"If you can't drink, don't be strong." Chu Xiao reminded loudly: "If you're drunk, no one will send you home." ”

"Oh." If the person sitting in front of you now was my sister, you probably wouldn't have said that......

I just didn't feel happy in my heart, this was an experience I had never experienced before, suppressing the weirdness in my heart, Qi Nuan and Chu Xiao said a lot of things, but most of the time she was talking about it, and he was listening, he interjected a sentence or two from time to time, looking like he was perfunctory to her.

Chu Xiao only learned today that the second daughter of Zuo Xiangfu is a person who talks so much, in the past, he only heard Xu Ruoyun mention her, and this Qi Nuan had saved her before, so she has always regarded Qi Nuan as her sister, a frail and sick little girl who can't leave home, but she doesn't know that she really has a lot of words, and many people feel ridiculous.

"Actually, Sister Ruoyun cares about you very much, when you visit the temple fair, you give her things, she is very precious, I can't even touch it, and the bracelet you gave her, so many years, she has countless jewelry, but only the bracelet you gave she has always wore, and she has worked hard to learn the double-sided embroidery for a long time, and finally embroidered a plum blossom purse for you, and ......"

Rushu Jiazhen's words finally stopped, Chu Xiao's ears were finally clear, he looked out the window, the moonlight was bright, bright and moving, the moon was still the same for many years, but people had already changed.

After a while, I looked at the originally frolicking restaurant, the building was already empty, and there was a drunk Qi Nuan on the table, she was still whispering something, Chu Xiao heard it, it was the words "Sister Ruoyun", Chu Xiao's originally lazy and cold eyes completely lost their temperature, like a cold pool that was unfathomable and calm without waves, but it made people feel their hearts and livers tremble when they fell into it.

"Young Master Chu walks slowly, and will come often in the future." Xiao Er enthusiastically sent Chu Xiao away, Chu Xiao held the plain-clothed man in his arms, Xiao Er entertained so many people in one day, and he still had the eyesight to know people, and the one he held in Chu Gongzi's arms was clearly a girl.

But he didn't say anything, how could he have the qualifications to talk about the affairs of the rich and noble, if he didn't keep it, he would offend the nobles, and people were mixed in the capital, so it was better to do more things and talk less.

Chu Xiao had already noticed what Xiao Er was thinking, he didn't care, there were few people in Beijing who had seen Qi Nuan, and no one even knew that there was a second lady in Zuo Xiangfu, and it didn't matter if she was seen now, and it wouldn't ruin the reputation of the two of them.

The night is quiet, the early winter night is bleak and cold, it has to evoke people's memories, the sky gradually drifts snowflakes, oh, God may think he is not sad enough, it actually snowed, and it was exactly the same as that day, it was the first snow...... His most painful day...... lost the woman he loved the most, that gentle, kind, dignified and kind mother, and since then, his life has changed.

It became so tiresome and boring, that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the warmth he wanted.......

He only felt cold, but he felt that someone was colder than him, Qi Nuan was drunk, and his body was not good, although he had a cloak, but the wind and snow were drifting, and he shrank from the cold.

If it weren't for this movement that shocked Chu Xiao, he would have almost forgotten that he was still holding someone in his arms, Qi Nuan was really light, as if his arms were warmer, she shrank her head in, and her whole head was attached to his heart, and her heart was sullen.

"Now is not the time, the queen's family is a disaster for the court, there are many party henchmen, intertwined, pervasive, we must be cautious, one mistake will be lost, the emperor will not be severely punished for the sake of the overall situation, there are a lot of people involved, the country's foundation is unstable, the people's turmoil is a big deal, when to take out the arrow in my hand, I have my own arrangements."

What Chu Xiao wants is not a small punishment, but to completely eliminate the scourge of Dongning Kingdom! What's more, Ye Moqing hasn't said how to act specifically, this matter is not trivial, it is better to wait for Ye Moqing to come back and discuss it together.

"I see, this king is at your disposal." King Jin patted his heart.

The conversation changed, "Who is the person you are hugging?" Qi Zhen didn't have this treatment. ”

Sure enough, the nature is hard to change!

With his temperament, if he doesn't tell him, he will go all over the capital to find him.

"The second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Qi Nuan."

"Huh~" King Jin looked at Chu Xiao with a look of understanding and ill will.

"Get down to business." Chu Xiao immediately interrupted King Jin's idea of not doing his job.

"How long will it take for Ye Moqing to come back? The people on the eldest prince's side have already found him three or four times, and as far as I know, they have done it once before. King Jin immediately recovered and looked at Chu Xiao with a serious expression.

I have to say that King Jin's ability to change his face is indeed unmatched, he was still giggling in the last second, and he was serious in the next second.

"I don't know, last time Ye Moqing found someone to spread the word that he would come back in a month at most, and when the time comes, the state of Chu will change." Chu Xiao looked out the window, he didn't know how to feel in his heart, he didn't care about the fate of Chu State, he cared about what happened to Xu Ruoyun in Nanqiu Country at the moment.

Who the king of Chu is does not have much influence on him, if the king of Chu is his good brother, then he will not stop it, but will fully support it.

"Now the queen's power is getting bigger and bigger, the emperor indulges the queen to do whatever she wants in the harem, and now there are many people who are dissatisfied with the queen, but they are only dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, the queen's power is too great, and those ministers don't dare to say it clearly, they only dare to talk about it below." King Jin said as he picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"And Uncle Guo's Mansion too, it has become more and more rampant recently, although our people have been suppressing them in secret, but because they are secret, they can't affect anything, and now everything is ready, just Ye Moqing came back and gave an order." Chu Xiao didn't seem to be worried about how powerful the queen or the national uncle's mansion was, because as long as it was the queen's family or the core figures of the national uncle's mansion, they had already been replaced by their own people.

"I heard that this kid has found a daughter-in-law in Nanqiu Kingdom?" King Jin was really serious, but in three seconds, he began to hang his son again.

"Hmm."

"I heard that the country is overwhelmed, and it is as beautiful as a fairy?"

"Hmm."

"I also heard that ......." King Jin said a lot of nonsense again, Chu Xiao didn't hear what he was talking about at all, just nodded politely.

The door was pushed open, Xu Ruoyun looked in the direction of the door opening, and saw a man in white walking slowly towards her.

Stepping on the light, the breeze blows the sleeves, a few wisps of green silk fall to the ground, the eyes are like stars, vast, deep and mysterious, a glance of ten thousand years.

The sword eyebrows are smooth, the teeth and lips are red, light as water, and the steps are slow, like the fairy in the painting, and like the heavenly man.

Xu Ruoyun was stunned, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose up, it was him.

On the other side, it was already three poles, and at this time Qi Nuan got up, he had a terrible headache and was very hungry, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his sister holding a soothing incense in front of her bed, the fragrance was pervasive, calming the nerves and relieving pain.

"How's it going, does your head still hurt? You can't take tranquilizers, so it's better to light incense and be comfortable. Qi Zhen rubbed her head for her, "You, what kind of wine do girls drink, fortunately nothing happened, otherwise how would my sister live." ”

"Not next time."
