When he came back to his senses, Dongfang Xiu had approached him, and a tempting fragrance of roses penetrated his nostrils, he turned his face away, hid the slight flush on his face, and said softly: "Why are you here?" Are the injuries on your body healed? ”

"Meng Gongzi takes care of it, it's almost fine." She leaned forward slightly and approached Beiliuyun and said, the breath fell on his face a little, and she stretched out her hand again, bypassed his slightly stiff body and hooked the wine jug on the table behind him, and returned to his side to pour wine with a light smile.

Bei Liuyun was a little embarrassed by this teasing, the crimson on his face and ears were instantly dyed, and he took a step back to widen the distance from Dongfang Xiu: "Didn't you tell you to rest?" Why are you looking for me again? ”

"What are you afraid of, I just heard from the people in the workshop that you are in a good mood when you come back from the trial hall, and I want to come to see you, I don't want them to frame me, you just look like you're not happy." Dongfang Xiu took two glasses of wine and stuffed one of them into Beiliuyun's hand.

Bei Liuyun took a glass of wine and put it down, only then did he think of some details in the trial hall, although this matter had nothing to do with him, but the involvement of this matter was really not in his expectations, and thinking about it, there were still many strange things to consider, so he was out of mood for a while.

"Why, when I'm happy or not, it's up to you to see, I say I'm happy, I'm happy." Bei Liuyun looked at the person in front of him, his heart was mixed, he didn't even know how to face Dongfang Xiu now, plus this matter, the person behind the scenes was undoubtedly the person behind Dongfang Xiu, naturally thinking of what Dongfang Xiu did, naturally there was no good tone.

When Dongfang Xiu heard this, the smile on his face froze at the corner of his mouth, and he still didn't give up: "Childe, but if there are any troubles in the trial hall today, you might as well tell me, and I can also solve a problem for you, okay?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and approached Beiliuyun.

Beiliuyun naturally stopped eating this set, avoided his body, looked at Dongfang Xiu fixedly, and asked: "Xiuxiu, let me ask you, do you really not know about the affairs of the Wenguan?" Also, the person behind you is from the South Pavilion? What is the relationship between them and Lou Wange, and the night of Beishen? ”

mentioned this matter again, Dongfang Xiu lowered her eyes, after so many days of hard work, she still couldn't eliminate the slightest suspicion of Beiliuyun's defense of her, and replied a little helplessly: "Childe, since you don't believe me, why do you want to ask me?" As I said, I don't have anything to do with them anymore. ”

Knowing that he was in a hurry to ask, Beiliuyun stroked his Oriental hair, and said softly like never before: "Okay, I won't ask, it's okay, go back, these days you are outside, Lord Jingwen has come to ask me for someone several times, your father misses you, you will go to Jingwen Mansion first, I will send someone to protect you, and there have been a lot of things in the imperial capital recently, and they can't control you for the time being." Rest assured! ”

Dongfang Xiu couldn't hear the meaning of driving away in these words, but he fell into Beiliuyun's extreme gentleness, and only responded: "Okay, remember to find me if there is anything that son, and if there is anything, I will always be by the child's side." ”

"Okay."

Dongfang Xiu reluctantly retreated, if she wanted to completely gain Beiliuyun's trust, she had to spend some effort, and she was not in a hurry at this time.

"Someone." As soon as Fang sat down, Beiliuyun called out to the void, and a figure stood respectfully in the room.

"Sent someone to watch Dongfang Xiu and stared at her. In addition, the imperial capital has been paying more attention recently, especially those who are in the shadows. ”

"Yes."

"Also," Beiliuyun reclined on the soft floor, looking lazy and enchanting, half-squinting his eyes: "There is a person named Ah Long in the Criminal Prison Division, go check his details, as well as Yang Xiao and Chi Feng of the martial arts hall, carefully check their relationship, what is unusual about the three of them recently, who they have seen, they have all checked and informed me together, move quickly, don't let people grab the front." ”

"Yes."

After accepting the order, the man naturally retreated into the darkness, and in a blink of an eye, only Beiliuyun was left in the entire room, he gently supported his head, looked at the candle flame jumping in his eyes, and thought of the details of the incident in the White Day Trial Hall.

Suddenly, there was a "clanging" sound, which broke the silence in the whole room, Beiliuyun woke up suddenly, looked at the falling thing on the ground, but was panicked, gently picked it up and put it in his hand, carefully checked it by the candle flame, and only exhaled a long breath after confirming that there was no damage, held the thing on his chest, closed his eyes lightly, and felt the warmth and stability that the thing brought him, just like his mother's embrace-

It was a small golden lock, which was built for him by his mother when he was a child, and over the years, the golden lock had always been by his side, just like his mother's company, and he also regarded the golden lock as a treasure, and he had never left his body. In this way, when he does everything, in addition to his own strength, he can also feel the power from his mother, so that he will not feel lonely and have no light ahead. At least in everything, there is always something to look forward to.

Time has passed, he has not dreamed of his mother for a long time, the memory that belongs to him and his mother is buried deep in his heart, and he has never shown it to anyone, only as his own little beauty accumulated in his heart. Holding the golden lock at this moment, he felt the calm and softness that he had not seen for a long time, and fell asleep in that gentleness.

In the dream, he saw his mother who had been absent for a long time, and the mother concubine was still as beautiful and generous as he saw when he was a child, bright and bright, and she always loved to wear a red dress. The mother concubine in the dream was also wearing a red palace dress and delicate makeup, which looked very good, so she leaned on the door and did not move, her eyes flashing with anticipation and looking into the distance, as if she was waiting for someone.

He had just gotten out of school, and he ran back to the dormitory all the way, wanting to show off to his mother how well he had learned today, and how he had been praised by his master. But from afar, he saw the appearance of his mother, like that, he had seen him for a month, but the person who was waiting for his mother had not come, he knew that his mother was waiting for his father to come, but his father was busy with government affairs, and he had not come to visit for more than a month, and he also missed his father, but in order not to make his mother sad, he never showed his thoughts to his mother. Watching the concubine's waiting gaze gradually darkened, and finally became dim. His heart hurt, and he rushed up to hug his mother, raised a smile and said, "Mother, I'm back!" ”

The mother's eyes were bright, she looked down at him gently, touched his head and said, "Liuyun is good, come in, the mother concubine made you your favorite osmanthus cake, you can taste it." With that, he pulled him into the room, and finally reluctantly glanced out deeply.

The mother concubine handed the pastry to his mouth, he took a bite of it obediently, the fragrance of the osmanthus cake filled the whole mouth for a while, he couldn't help admiring, and took a few pieces and stuffed them into his mouth: "Well, it's delicious, the mother's osmanthus cake is the best osmanthus cake in the world!" ”

"Don't be poor, you see your mouth full of food, come, wipe it." The concubine took out a handkerchief to wipe the crumbs from the corners of his mouth for him, and asked, "How is your school today?" Can you be naughty? ”

He nodded vigorously: "Well, today's master praised me!" said that I am smart and wise, and I am brilliant in writing, and I will definitely become a good helper for my father in the future! As soon as he finished speaking, seeing the stagnant smile on his mother's face, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly lowered his head, took the handkerchief in his mother's hand and wiped it himself.

You raised her head slightly, and said as if admitting her mistake: "Mother, are you angry?" ”

"No, you studied well, how could the mother be angry? Come on, eat some more. The mother concubine has lost her smile, he regrets it, why did he mention his father at this time.

He stretched out his small hand and put it on his mother's hand, straightened his color, and pretended to be an adult and said: "Mother, don't be afraid, Liuyun will always be by her side, protect her mother, and don't let anyone bully her mother, other mothers can't, and neither can my father." ”

Hearing this, the mother concubine smiled and scratched his nose: "Little child, which round will you protect the mother concubine, you eat first, and the mother will go and get you something." ”

He was puzzled, and watched his mother go to another room, and after a while, he saw his mother come out with a delicate box and shook it in front of him: "Liuyun, do you guess what good things the mother concubine has prepared for you?" ”

His head shook like a rattle, but his eyes flashed with anticipation.

The concubine carefully opened the box, and saw that there was a small delicate golden lock inside, which was very dazzling and beautiful, and he looked at it, and his eyes were full of joy.

When the mother saw him like this, she was naturally happy, took out the golden lock, put it on his neck and said: "Tomorrow is Liuyun's seventh birthday, this is a gift prepared for you by the mother concubine, do you still like it?" ”

"I like it!" He pinched the golden lock in his hand and watched it repeatedly, only to feel that the love was not good, the golden lock was engraved with a large and a small two tigers, very vivid, like the mother and him, there is a line of words under the golden lock, "such as the moon of the constant", he read it gently, but did not understand the meaning of this word.

"This is the blessing of the mother's expectations for your life, you remember, you wear this golden lock, never take it off, just treat it as the mother concubine has always been with you."

He was puzzled, and he said something uncomfortable, as if he was saying goodbye. The concubine noticed his strangeness and continued: "Tomorrow you will be seven years old, and according to the rules, you will have to move out of your mother's palace and live alone in another palace, and in the future, your mother will not be able to see you every day." ”

Hearing this, he cried uncomfortably, and the thought of not being able to see his mother was such a uncomfortable thing at that time! "No, I don't want to leave my mother and move out, I won't go anywhere except my mother!"
