Regarding Xiao's pretending to be stupid, Ling Suhua was noncommittal.

The Xiao clan of Liang Guo seems to have infinite scenery from the outside, but they are just like the caged birds of Zhou State, and life and death are all in the hands of the master. However, the Hundred Flowers Palace is different, although the latter is only a hidden force in the shadows, but the root system is far more developed than the Xiao Clan, if the Hundred Flowers Palace is really determined to tear the skin with the Yuwen Clan, it will definitely be able to bring great losses to the Northern Zhou.

Baihuagong is not afraid of the Yuwen clan, their courage is due to the strength accumulated over hundreds of years, the wealth of the rich and rival countries, and the intertwined interpersonal relationships, and even if the Baihuagong wants to be the enemy of the Yuwen clan, it will never be blatant, fight to the death, and lose both.

For a group or an organization, any overly emotional decision is impulsive, unwise, and likely to bring irreparable damage to itself, which is the so-called big picture that makes people helpless and ridiculous.

"Yun'er." As he spoke, Ling Suhua beckoned to Xiao Shiyun on the side.

"Master." Xiao Shiyun agreed, and walked forward with small lotus steps, her voice trembled, and her expression was a little timid.

Looking at the peerless woman approaching from the side of the main hall, Xiao was stunned at first, and then his eyes showed an excited light.

After a few years of not seeing her, Xiao Shiyun has become even more beautiful, so that Xiao has not been able to recognize her even after careful inspection. Xiao Shiyun was very sympathetic to what happened to Xiao Shiyun's sister, but he was helpless. In the past few years, he and Xiao Shiyun have seen each other more, but in the past two years, as he has grown older, he has to study and deal with political affairs on weekdays, and there are very few opportunities to meet Xiao Shiyun.

"Sister!" Xiao walked up a few steps and called out with some excitement, the light in his eyes was a little hot, and it was full of longing.

"Xiao'er, you've grown up!" Xiao Shiyun looked at the young man who was three meters away and caught up with her, tears could no longer be controlled and rolled down her cheeks, her face was full of laughter, and she said in a choked voice.

"Sister, how have you been doing all these years?" Xiao had tears in his eyes, and looked at Xiao Shiyun fixedly, they are sisters and brothers with the same father and mother, even if they get together less and leave more, but the family affection that blood is thicker than water cannot be parted.

"My sister is very good, and my master and sisters take good care of me." Xiao Shiyun nodded vigorously, from Xiao's eyes, she saw sincerity, saw concern, and a warmth rose in her heart, even though she was abandoned by her father and disgusted by her uncle, there are always people who care about her in this world.

"Mother, father, father, are they okay?" Xiao Shiyun continued to ask, mentioning the word "father", her face couldn't help but darken, and her words stammered a little.

Xiao smiled and said: "My father is in good health, and my mother is fine, but I often talk about you, this time you can go back to the palace, the queen mother must be very happy!" ”

Xiao was overjoyed and excited for a while, and there was less consideration between the words, and he regretted it a little as soon as he said this, and sure enough, hearing his words, Xiao Shiyun's body trembled, her face was even more gloomy, and her reddened eyes showed a thick sadness.

"Yun'er, for the sake of the teacher, there is still something to discuss with Xiao Gongzi, you go down first." Just when Xiao wanted to speak, Ling Suhua's voice sounded again, although her voice was still tactful, Xiao still heard a trace of displeasure from it, obviously Ling Suhua was blaming Xiao for being open-mouthed.

Xiao Shiyun glanced at Ling Suhua a little blankly, and said in a low voice, "Yes." After speaking, Xiao Shiyun walked outside the hall, but her steps seemed a little heavy, and her thin body became more and more lonely.

Ling Suhua's hand in the sleeve tightened slightly, and a touch of pity flashed in his heart, so he glanced at the poppy Hua who was standing on the side, who understood and immediately chased after Xiao Shiyun. When the hall was quiet, Ling Suhua's gaze at Xiao couldn't help but become cold, and the majesty of being a master for a long time slowly diffused.

Xiao Zheng secretly regretted it, and suddenly felt a murderous aura coming, and a stirring spirit in his heart, when he raised his head to meet Ling Suhua's fierce eyes, he suddenly felt like a lightning strike, his face turned pale, and his breathing became disordered and heavy. Xiao is just a weak scholar, even if he has seen big scenes on weekdays, and his temperament is also good, but it is difficult to support it under the pressure of masters like Ling Suhua.

Ling Suhua's momentum was slightly released, and after a little lesson, Xiao then retracted, looked at the latter condescendingly, and said lightly: "Young Master Xiao, I'm afraid you don't know, Yun'er is not only a disciple of this palace, but also the next palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, according to the rules of my Hundred Flowers Palace, the palace master cannot marry." ”

"Palace Master, this ......" Xiao was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Ling Suhua's meaning couldn't be more obvious, and Xiao Shiyun would not be allowed to marry.

From the bottom of their hearts, Xiao didn't want Xiao Shiyun to marry Yuwen, but from the perspective of family interests, they had no choice at all. What's more, Xiao Yue had long wanted to expand the power of the Liang State, so he naturally wouldn't miss such a great opportunity to befriend the Yuwen family, and he would definitely do his best to facilitate this marriage.

Ling Suhua snorted coldly, and his words became more and more severe: "Xiao, I am often worried about you, but I never thought that you are such a wolf-hearted and ungrateful person, and you will do whatever it takes to sacrifice your own sister for the sake of profit!" ”

Xiao was shocked, and he didn't know how to argue for a while, so he could only sigh bitterly and helplessly: "Palace master, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, what can you do?" ”

"Bastard!" Ling Suhua wrinkled his eyebrows and scolded: "Yin and Yang are violated, Li Dai Tao, don't you know?" Back then, your Xiao family caused the collapse of Nanliang for their own selfish interests, and handed over the great rivers and mountains to others, and now you are doing this again, it is really short-sighted and shameless! ”

Xiao Wenyan's face suddenly turned pale, Xiao Zushang did bear an unshirkable responsibility for the fall of Xiao Liang's regime back then, otherwise Chen Baxian would not have had the opportunity to establish Nan Chen, but his shortcomings were exposed to his face, Xiao couldn't help but be very ashamed, and said in a cold voice: "Ling Palace Master, I respect you as an elder, and I don't dare to offend you in my words, but if you speak ill of my Liang King again, I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between you and me." ”

"Hahahaha!" Ling Suhua burst out laughing when she heard this, her laughter was full of ridicule, "What, little doll, are you angry?" A man's husband has to dare to be bold, and Xiao Nai has always been a man who stands up to the sky, but now it seems to be really disappointing. ”

Xiao was speechless, ashamed, angry, aggrieved, and all kinds of emotions surged into his heart, and a handsome face turned from blue to red, and from red to purple, which was very ugly.

After a long time, the colorful colors on Xiao's face dissipated and regained his calm, he looked at Ling Suhua with burning eyes and said: "Ling Palace Master, if the younger generation can't welcome my sister back to the palace, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will send down the wrath of thunder, and I'm afraid that I'm not the only one who will be unlucky at that time." ”

Ling Suhua snorted lightly and said to herself: "It is said that Yun'er has never been home since she was born, and there seem to be only three people in this world who have seen her appearance and know her identity, including you. After speaking, Ling Suhua looked at Xiao with deep meaning, and her deep and beautiful eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Xiao was stunned, and immediately seemed to think of something, his eyes widened in shock, and he said with some hesitation and some horror: "......What do you mean?"

Ling Suhua smiled incomprehensibly: "You can complete the mission, and Yun'er doesn't have to be wronged, isn't it great?" ”

Xiao Moran wrung his eyebrows and thought hard.

Although Ling Suhua has no famous words, judging from her words, her plan is very clear: Li Dai Tao is stiff, and Yang is against Yin. However, this matter is very important, and the slightest carelessness will put the Xiao family in a situation from which they will never recover, and it is a big crime to deceive the king and resist the decree.

……

"Senior sister, don't worry, what Master promised will definitely be done. Although King Liang is quite powerful in Jiangling, I, Baihua Palace, am not afraid of him, even if the Holy One wants to move us today, we must weigh it carefully. Poppy chased out of the hall, stepped forward to hold Xiao Shiyun's cold little hand, and said with relief.

"Senior sister, thank you." Xiao Shiyun smiled reluctantly, "I believe that Master will make decisions for me, but for some reason, I always feel a little sad in my heart." ”

"Sad about what? Look, the little face is crying, it's not pretty, my sister doesn't like you anymore! Poppies laughed while reaching out and pinching Xiao Shiyun's cheeks, making the corners of her mouth curl wider, "Let's go, accompany my senior sister to practice, see if you have grown recently!" ”

Xiao Shiyun was in a slightly gloomy mood, nodded obediently and said yes, and then walked towards the back of the hall with the poppies.

……

Huaizhou, Xuyi City, Thorn History.

"The sun is going down again!" A beautiful and graceful woman leaned on the railing and looked at the western sky, looking at the gradually falling sunset, a touch of amazement slipped over her pretty face, and she whispered in her mouth. She was wearing a goose yellow skirt, her figure was slender and graceful, her temperament was quiet and gentle, and her contemplative and melancholy appearance was extremely moving.

"Sister Shun, do you miss your husband again?!" A crisp voice sounded behind itself, but it was Zhang Lihua dressed in black, although there was some banter in her words, but a trace of undetectable longing flashed in her eyes.

"Sister Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Wu Shun turned his head in some panic and quibbled, but his voice was like a mosquito, and his pretty face was also flushed with shame, which was even more gorgeous.

"Lihua, are you naughty again? I don't know who shouted in the dream last night, 'husband, husband'! Zhang Rong relieved Wushun in a timely manner, and looked at Zhang Lihua teasingly, until the latter's face turned into a red cloth in an instant, and she said with some shame: "Sister! ”

"Shy of what? It's common to miss your husband! Zhang Rong is older, taking care of the Qinglou gambling hall, and has more contact with the three religions and nine streams, and is more open in character, so bluntly saying that she misses her happiness, Wu Shun and Zhang Lihua glanced at each other, and the shyness in her heart faded a lot.

I only heard Zhang Rong continue: "According to the news from Luoyang, the husband should be able to come tomorrow. ”

When Wu Shun and Zhang Lihua heard this, their faces showed a touch of joy. Just as the three of them were about to say something, they heard the attendant in the porter suddenly run towards the inner courtyard, and shouted loudly with joy and excitement: "Princess, the little prince is back, the little prince is back!" ”

"Husband is back?"

Zhang Rong, Wu Shun, and Zhang Lihua were stunned at first, and then overjoyed, their faces welled up with indescribable excitement, and they looked at each other and walked quickly towards the front yard together.
