At this time, the Acacia Lake, as if he wanted to sleep, was quiet with a trace of dead silence, even the birds were perched and did not want to spread their wings to fly on the lake, there was no wind, so everything was still, Meng Tianchu walked towards the lake with the memory of two days ago, and the air seemed to be able to hear his own gasping sound.

Finally walked to the lake, no one saw anyone, but Meng Tianchu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he walked to the lake and squatted down to drink a sip of lake water, and found that the sweetness was not comparable, so he took advantage of the situation to wash his face, stood up, and looked around, such a heaven and earth, he may not come here if he wants to be gentle.

He looked around, but found no human figure, and the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake was also empty, so he had to return to the original way, leading the horse to the main road, and saw the dragon slayer galloping over on a horse, his heart was tight, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Tu Long Fei dismounted, looked solemn, and said, "My lord, I have found the second lady." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Where did you find it?" Are you okay? ”

Dragon Slayer: "Come with me first." After speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, and Meng Tianchu also hurriedly got on the horse and followed the dragon slayer forward.

Less than a mile, Meng Tianchu saw Yin Susu sitting by a river, as if holding a person in his arms, Meng Tianchu hurriedly whipped his horse, flew down and dismounted in front of him, and sure enough, he found that Yin Susu was lying gentle in his arms, as if he had fainted.

Meng Tianchu rushed forward, Yin Susu looked at Meng Tianchu, and said, "My lord, you should mourn and change." ”

Meng Tianchu listened, his mind buzzed, as if he didn't understand, he picked up Wen Wen and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Yin Susu handed Meng Tianchu a bottle, Meng Tianchu took it and couldn't help but sit on the ground. Looking at Gentle Gentle's face again, a trace of thick black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. At first glance, I knew that it was poisoned.

Meng Tianchu tested it with a trembling hand, and sure enough, the tenderness in his arms was no longer breathless.

Meng Tianchu didn't know what to do, so he had to be stunned.

Yin Susu: "I found a piece of paper from the arms of the second lady, it should be written to you, you can take a look." After speaking, he gave Meng Tianchu a note, Meng Tianchu held the dead Wen Wen in one hand and opened the note with the other. I saw that it was written: "I gave you two hours, I think, if you care about me, you will be chasing me, Tianchu, I will set off, if I can't wait for you for two hours." I was in utter despair. I'm not dying to anyone, this time, I'm really determined, please tell my father and mother, I'm not good, I can't go back to see them, ask them to take care of themselves, and in addition, give Jiayin a word. After a night of deliberation, I really wanted to open it, and I said sorry to her, I knew it was wrong, but it was too late. You won't treat me the same way you used to. I was hoping to have a baby for you, but it was also unsuccessful. It's better for me to live than to die, you can go with peace of mind, I have nothing to love in my life, farewell, Tianchu, your heart can be free. Rou'er and Yin are three moments. ”

Although Meng Tianchu was angry with Gentle again, he didn't expect that Gentle would really embark on this road of no return, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, roared, and cried bitterly.

At the same moment, Zuo Jiayin suddenly woke up on the bed at home, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Meng Tianchu was no longer in bed, and only Xia Fengyi was sitting next to the bed.

Xia Fengyi saw Zuo Jiayin suddenly sit up, and hurriedly asked, "Jiayin, you have nothing to do, right?" Is it a nightmare? ”

Zuo Jiayin sweated and said, "Wen... Gentle. ”

Xia Fengyi saw Zuo Jiayin looking at her in horror, so she comforted: "Nothing, don't think about it, is it a nightmare?" ”

Zuo Jiayin said in a daze: "Oh my God, what a terrible dream, I dreamed that I walked gently to my bedside, crying and saying to me, saying that she was wrong, let me forgive her, she was dressed in white, her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, so terrifying!" ”

Xia Fengyi hugged Zuo Jiayin tightly in her arms and said, "Good, it's just a nightmare, it's okay." But there was a trace of uneasiness in my heart.

Tu Long walked up to Meng Tianchu and said, "My lord, don't be sad first, let's send the second lady back for the third lady to see." ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head blankly and said, "Is there still hope?" ”

Yin Susu: "My lord, have you forgotten that the third lady is a famous doctor?" ”

Dragon Slayer: "Hurry up, don't waste time." After speaking, he took the initiative to pick up Wen Rou, signaled Yin Susu to help Meng Tianchu up, Tu Long put Wen Wen on the horse's back, and then turned over on the horse himself, without waiting for Meng Tianchu and Yin Susu, he rode away first.

Zuo Jiayin and Xia Fengyi were talking, when they suddenly saw Feiyan rushing into the door, clutching her chest, panting and saying, "Quick... Fast... Gentle..."

Zuo Jiayin hurriedly got up and said, "What's wrong with gentleness?" ”

Xia Fengyi: "Feiyan, don't worry, say slowly, what's wrong with gentleness?" ”

Feiyan: "Gentleness is back, and the dragon slayer let... Let Jiayin take a look, and say that he has taken poison gently. ”

Zuo Jiayin stood up and said, "Where is it?" ”

Feiyan: "It's in the gentle room. ”

Zuo Jiayin hurriedly got up and rushed out of the door, Xia Fengyi hurriedly said, "Jiayin, you haven't put on shoes yet." As soon as the words fell, Zuo Jiayin had already gone out barefoot.

Zuo Jiayin ran to the gentle room and saw Meng Tianchu holding the gentle with a calm expression.

Zuo Jiayin walked to Meng Tianchu's side and said, "Tianchu, you let me take a look." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Zuo Jiayin, and when he saw Zuo Jiayin's determined look, he said, "Is there hope?" ”

Yin Susu said: "My lord, you still let Jiayin take a look, don't delay any longer." ”

Zuo Jiayin couldn't help but say, snatched Gentle Rou away from Meng Tianchu's arms, and then asked the dragon slayer to pull Meng Tianchu away, and put Gentle Flat on the bed, Yin Susu handed the bottle to Zuo Jiayin, Zuo Jiayin sniffed the bottle, not only frowned, then opened his gentle eyelids and looked at it, touched his pulse, and then said: "The breath is very weak, and it has probably been a long time to eat." Tianchu, I will do my best. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Jiayin, it's up to you." ”

Three days later.

Meng Tianchu's family returned to Meng's house in Renhe County, because Meng Tianchu meant that after all, someone in the family died. It was not good to hold a funeral at the governor's palace, so he went home. According to local customs, when a person dies, he can only be buried after seven days, Zuo Jiayin chose a day for gentleness to go out of the funeral, the family seems to be shrouded in a shadow, no one is happy, no one dares to talk to Meng Tianchu more, Meng Tianchu silently does everything for gentleness. Originally, he sent someone to the capital to report the news, but considering that Wen Wen's mother was sick, he decided to wait until after the burial, and the matter of entering the capital was also postponed again because of Wen Wen's death.

Fortunately, Xue'er and Lin Ruofan came to help, and Xie Zihan also came, and everyone quickly got the mourning hall. There are also many officials who go to the place of condolence. Everyone knew that gentleness was a moment of negative anger and died of poison, and they didn't dare to mention it, and then Meng Tianchu had no intention of talking to them, so he gave a gift, comforted them a few words and left, coming and going, but Meng Mansion was very quiet, and no one even spoke loudly.

Xia Fengyi walked to the study and knocked on the door. Meng Tianchu said: "Come in." Xia Fengyi pushed the door in and said, "Tianchu, Xue Xue is here." ”

Meng Tianchu got up from the chair at this time, and saw that Xue Xue was already wearing linen and filial piety in plain clothes, Meng Tianchu smiled reluctantly. Said: "Snow." There you are. ”

Xue Xue stepped forward and said softly, "Tianchu." I just came to see you, and I heard Sister Fengyi say that you haven't eaten for two days, how can you go on like this? ”

Meng Tianchu got up and walked to Murong Zhenxue's side and said, "Don't get in the way, I'm not hungry." ”

Xia Fengyi went out and closed the door gently, Murong Yuxue looked at Meng Tianchu distressedly, and said, "Tianchu, let's mourn and change, and I hope you can be happier." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I have thought about it these days, if I wasn't afraid of the snobbery of the hot springs and insisted on not accepting gentleness, she wouldn't marry me, and maybe marry any royal relative in the capital, she should be very happy, I didn't expect that because of my temporary unbearableness, it led to today..., gentleness is still so young, it is..., how can I explain it to her father?" ”

Murong Zhenxue: "Tianchu, there is no regret in the world, and a person's heart determines her attitude towards life and her position on things. Gentle can't think about it for a while, in fact, the heart knot is not easy to make a person relieved, besides, Jiayin also tried his best, you also want to open some, just now I went to see Jiayin, she is a lot haggard, has been guarding the mourning hall, you all blame yourself like this, why bother? Tianchu, gentleness has gone, this is not your fault, nor is it the fault of Jiayin, you know? In the past, I was unhappy about this, but in fact, it was myself who really suffered, and then I figured it out, and I was relieved, if I love you, I should love the people around you. ”

Meng Tianchu gently hugged Murong Xue in his arms and said, "Xue Xue, do you know? Gentle said that I was partial, I really didn't, I felt distressed for each of you, but Gentle must think that I didn't love her, and I was against Jiayin and Feiyan everywhere, how did you let me treat her? If Gentleness had understood earlier, it wouldn't be what it is now, I'm really annoyed, why force myself to love a woman I don't love at all? Now that she's dead, I'm to blame for her death. ”

Murong Zhenxue: "Tianchu, this is your fault, what are you responsible for?" She bets herself that you're still asleep, how do you know that the deadline she gave you was only two hours? It's because she doesn't want to live anymore, so she gives you a reason to feel guilty, who are you responsible for, we are all adults, do you have to be responsible for another adult? ”

Meng Tianchu didn't speak, and Murong Xue said: "The dead person naturally doesn't know your suffering, because she is relieved, so she dies with peace of mind, but you have to think about those who are alive and still care about you, they are not wrong, why don't you eat or sleep, so you are torturing these living people, don't you think you take care of one thing and the other?" ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Xue Xue, you are mature." ”

Murong Zhenxue: "We should all grow up, shouldn't we?" You have to cheer up, everyone doesn't want to see a sluggish Tianchu, you are not only gentle, you also have Fengyi, and Jiayin, as well as Feiyan and me, what do you say? If you're like this, how should you deal with good news? She is already very sad, thinking that she made Gentleness die, if you do this again, I should be sad, Tianchu, I shouldn't have said you at this time, but do you want to be gentle. Jiayin also died of heartbreak? ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Xue Xue." How do you say that? ”

Murong Xue said, "Tianchu, what are you so surprised about?" Isn't it? Think about the Miaojiadi bloody case, isn't it because of suspicion and self-blame? ”

Meng Tianchu was silent, silent for a long time, nodded, and said, "Okay, Zhenxue, I know." ”

Murong Yuxue smiled at this time. said: "Let's go, then I'll accompany you to dinner." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and followed Murong Yuxue out.

Doge's Palace.

Xiao Wei sat in his own courtyard, there were more than a dozen heavy soldiers guarding the door, Xiao Wei had a gloomy face, and there was a person in military uniform kneeling on the ground, looking dusty.

Xiaowei: "What do you say?" The hot springs want to rejuvenate the teacher, ask the sin, and want Meng Tianchu to ask for people? ”

"Back to the mother's words. Precisely. You asked me to find out, and I got the news and hurried back. ”

Xiao Wei thought about it, stood up, and said, "Everyone is dead, who else does he want in the hot spring?" ”

"I heard that the hot spring has been eating a kind of pill given by Meng Tianchu, saying that it has the effect of calming the nerves, he has always wanted this recipe, but Meng Tianchu didn't give it, probably this time he wants to take this opportunity to blackmail Meng Tianchu."

Xiao Wei sneered: "This hot spring is really not idle. When will the people of other places arrive? ”

"I heard that it has already set off, as soon as Meng Tianchu's flying pigeon passed the book arrived in the capital, he sent someone to set off in the afternoon, saying that he was bringing more than 100 people, and threatened to level the Meng Mansion."

Xiao Wei snorted. Said: "You immediately repair the book to the Long Live Lord." ”

"But Banzai has always liked hot springs. Isn't that a mother..."

Xiao Wei said thoughtfully: "You just said that Zuo Jiayin has a place that can prolong his life today." I have tried it with many people, and it has the effect of reviving the dead, so I immediately sent someone back to the capital. ”

"But, Niangniang actually doesn't."

Xiao Wei: "Isn't there a pill for Meng Tianchu to calm the qi and calm the nerves?" Send some to Banzai Lord first. ”

"Mother, is this appropriate?"

Xiao Wei: "Now only Long Live Lord can save Meng Tianchu, I don't care about what is suitable or not, but you seal my mouth for me, and no one is allowed to say it, you know?" ”

The person on the ground hadn't spoken yet, and suddenly there was a noise outside the door, Xiao Wei gave the man a look, and the man immediately broke out of the window, and soon the man brought one person back, and Xiao only saw that it was Chen Xingpeng.

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Xingpeng, what are you doing outside the door?" ”

Chen Xingpeng was already trembling with fright, and said tremblingly: "Humble duty..., humble duty is just passing by." Xiaowei walked in front of Chen Xingpeng, Chen Xingpeng knelt on the ground with weak legs, and the sweat on his forehead fell down.

Xiaowei: "Passing by? So what do you run? ”

After hearing this, Chen Xingpeng hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Niangniang, spare my life, I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything." ”

Xiaowei walked to the door and closed the door, walked up to Chen Xingpeng, and said, "Really? I'm afraid that you've heard everything and understood everything, so you can't wait to send the letter. ”

When Chen Xingpeng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Niangniang wronged me, I was born as your mother's person, and died as your mother's ghost, who should I send a letter to?" ”

Xiao Wei sneered: "You used to be in Hangzhou Dongchang, you were a hot spring, who do you say you went to deliver the letter?" ”

Chen Xingpeng looked at Xiao Wei's frosty face, and hurriedly said, "No, there really isn't." ”

Xiao Wei looked at the person standing behind Chen Xingpeng, and walked out with a smile, Chen Xingpeng hadn't reacted yet, a circle of wire had been wrapped around his neck, the person behind him was expressionless, his hands were crossed, Chen Xingpeng tried his best to struggle, who wanted to have infinite strength behind him, and soon, Chen Xingpeng struggled a few times, and went to heaven to accompany Gentle.

Xiao Wei waited outside the door, and the man packed up Chen Xingpeng, received the wire in his hand and put it in his boots, and then opened the door and went out.

Xiaowei: "You go and do it now, I want the people of Long Live Lord to try to get to Hangzhou before the people from the hot springs arrive." "But Niangniang, the people from the hot spring land have been off for almost a day."

"Don't you know how to put up some obstacles?"

The man immediately understood, and quickly retreated, Xiao Wei stretched out his hands and stretched comfortably, and then walked over to a guard and said lazily; "Clean up the people in the house, and then clean up, I still have to sleep at night, don't let him dirty my house."

"Yes, sissy."

Xiao Wei turned around and walked to the east courtyard, the subordinates were busy cleaning up, Meng Tianchu and they left, the east courtyard was deserted all of a sudden, Xiao Wei thought about it, and said to a subordinate next to him: "Hurry up and clean up, I will live in the east courtyard at night." ”

The subordinate hurriedly responded and said, "Yes, Niangniang."
