Inside, it was finally warmer, Huan'er was still a little nervous, she always felt unaccustomed to coming to the Fengyue place for the first time as her daughter's family, looking around, but it was Chinese New Year's Eve, even the girls inside were already celebrating the festival, and the official prostitution was not allowed to open for business in the first month.

When they arrived at the house, Qian Sulu asked the maid to serve hot tea, and Sima took a sip to remember that Huan'er was shivering outside just now, so he asked her to come over and hand her the tea. Huan'er picked up the teacup and looked a little restrained, holding the teacup while looking at the beauty in front of her vigilantly, the more she was kind to Sima Yi, the more she felt awkward, because Sima Yi was her only reliance, although she knew that she didn't dare to think anything wrong with her identity, but she didn't know where the woman in front of her who could sit with Sima Yi came from.

Sima Yu said in a calm tone: "Unexpectedly, Miss is still in Jinling City, I thought you went to the north, and King Hui also sent someone to find it, who would have thought that Miss would be here?" ”

Qian Suqi smiled slightly: "It's not to hide here, it's just that it's in the dust, it's not easy to have a place to live, the little woman lives here and doesn't open the door to welcome guests, but she has to pay silver to the aunt here every month, and live as an inn." ”

Sima Yi nodded with a smile, thinking of some of the words Li Shanye said before, he was a little surprised, it should be that Li Shanye had already known that Qian Sulu was in this official brothel, so he would bring him here for a banquet.

"Mademoiselle is going to take refuge here?" Sima asked.

Qian Suqi said with a little sadness on her face: "The little woman has no relatives around her, and she is duckweed, how dare she dream of a peaceful life?" I stayed here because I had nowhere to go, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet my husband again, and I couldn't help but sigh. ”

Sima Yi also sighed lightly. He was not the same as Qiansu Quercus, he was a homeless person, and on this Chinese New Year's Eve, he had reached the point where he had nowhere to go, and he could only go to this official prostitute to accommodate him, and he didn't want to ruin Qiansu Quercus's name. It is not possible to stay overnight at Sensu Oak.

"If you can, Miss still set off for the north, with your relationship with your old friend, I believe that she will let you settle down in the north, it is better than in Jinling City...... Even King Hui is looking for the whereabouts of the young lady. ”

Sima Yi didn't continue, and some words were difficult to say. In the past, King Hui Xiao Ling was so suave, even if he lingered in the flowers, he knew how to control himself, and he had a good impression of Qiansu oak was only affectionate and polite, but now it is different from the past. Xiao Ling has great power in his hands, there are too many supporters around him to do things for him, it is known that Qian Su Oak is here, without King Hui doing it himself, that is, the people of King Hui's Mansion will rob Qian Su Oak, and Xiao Ling will no longer maintain any etiquette, and now there are many people who have been robbed in King Hui's mansion, Xiao Ling knows it and does not say it. It's because his mindset is different from what it used to be.

Qian Su Quercus bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr., it's just ...... The little girl came from a humble background. How dare you climb high? Originally, it was possible to go north, but after thinking about it, it was better to stay in Jinling City and live a day. ”

Sima Yi also felt a little more sad in his heart, he was in a very similar situation to Qian Suqi, and he wanted to go back to the north a little bit. But thinking that he didn't do anything after he went back, he simply stayed, and it was not allowed to stay between the empress and King Hui's mansion, so he had to live a life of hiding.

Sima said: "In this way, I will write to the north for the young lady." Ask the old friend about his attitude, so that the young lady can feel more at ease. ”

Qian Su Oak shook his head with a little sadness and said, "No need. There are some things that cannot be forced. ”

In this way, the two fell silent again, but the tea in front of them seemed to be able to speak, blocking between the two, so that the atmosphere was not too embarrassing.

Huan'er stood aside and listened for a while, but she was very confused, she didn't know who the old friend in Sima's excuse was, let alone anything from the north and south, she only knew that it was okay to follow Sima, although Sima was not as loving as a lover, but it was not like shouting and drinking like a slave, following Sima Yi could make her feel at ease, at least she felt that her life had found a place, no matter where Sima went, as long as she followed behind, Sima Yi would shelter her from the wind and rain, There will be no less food for her to eat and a piece of clothing to wear.

"Huan'er, if you're tired, sit down and rest, we'll be on the road in a while." Sima Yu suddenly turned around and said to Huan'er.

Huan'er was about to sit down on her knees when she heard the sound, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she was still stunned, and finally found a place where she could stay without blowing the cold wind.

Qian Suli said: "I didn't ask Mr. why he came out late at night with a package, but Mr. wants to leave Jinling?" ”

Sima sighed, but he didn't know how to explain the matter to Qian Su Li. Just when he was a little hesitant, Qian Suli also seemed to notice something, nodded and said: "If Mr. has nowhere to stay, you might as well stay here these days, or wait for the city gate to open, and then it's not too late to leave the city." ”

Sima Yu shook his head and said, "Miss is clear, and I don't dare to destroy it." In fact...... There is nowhere to go below, wait for tomorrow, or go north out of the city, or...... Find a place to settle down for a while, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Qian Suli didn't say anything anymore, turned to the maid and said, "Qing'er, go and clean up the back room, and Mr. will rest here tonight." And you shall vacate your bed and give this girl rest......"

Sima Yu hurriedly said, "How can this be? ”

Qian Suqi smiled and said: "Mr. doesn't have to be formal, the little woman is in the dust, what is her name?" The little woman can go to the next door to spend the night for the time being, in the first month, it is also very empty, the house is mostly empty, and Mr. can live here for a month. ”

Sima Yi had a wry smile on his face, he is now homeless and wants to spend the night in the Qinglou, how desolate is this, instead of continuing to be so desolate, it is really better to leave and return to the north, at least have relatives, and still have a settlement.

Originally, Sima Yi didn't want to accept this favor, but he thought that the small courtyard couldn't go back, and he really had nowhere to stay, and since he didn't live in the same room as Qian Suqi, there was not much place to be formal. Sima Yu sighed: "Then I will thank Miss for her kindness first." ”

Qian Suqi nodded and smiled: "It's good for Mr. to accept it, I'm afraid that Mr. will dislike such a place." Qing'er, go clean up, it's not too early. It's also good that Mr. can rest sooner. ”

Sima Yi continued to sit in front of the lamp and drink tea, he didn't know what time it was outside, this was not the bleakest New Year he had ever had, but the past few years in Jinling City made his mentality feel desolate.

After everything was cleaned up, Sima Yi and Huan'er went to the back room. The place where Sima Yi slept was Qian Su Quercus's embroidery bed, and the place where Huan'er slept was Qian Su Quercus's personal maid's bed. Qian Suli briefly explained and left the house with the maid, and when the people left, Huan'er looked at Sima Yi with some embarrassment: "Sir, are we going to live here for a long time?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "No, we'll leave tomorrow." ”

Huan'er nodded, and when she put down her burden, she turned around and asked, "What...... So where to go? ”

Sima said, "Are you willing to go to the north?" ”

Huan'er said, "Where is Mr. going?" and the slave and the maid shall go. The slave will follow the gentleman. ”

Sima Yi couldn't help sighing, this night, he seemed to feel a little bit of the vicissitudes of time, saying that there is a home, but if you think about it carefully, what if you have a home? What about going back to the North? In the end, he still has to be as homeless as duckweed.

When Sima Yi lay down, he still couldn't sleep until late at night, he thought too much. The main thing is that I feel worried about the future.

At the same time, in the Huiwang Mansion in Jinling City, earth-shattering things are happening. Dozens of assassins sent by Zhu Tongjing took advantage of the darkness to enter King Hui's mansion and create a big bloody killing in King Hui's mansion.

After entertaining the guests, King Hui went in early to accompany the beauties, and when he and several beauties were in the dark, he heard a scream, which seemed to be made by a woman. It's very poignant. Xiao Ling crawled out of the bed, and before he could stand firmly, he heard the door being slammed open, and several assassins rushed over with bright blades for the reason of instability, so that Xiao Ling didn't even have time to put on clothes. You can only hide back and forth in the dark palace.

"Catch the assassin!"

The mansion was full of this kind of sound, and there were all kinds of screams, Xiao Ling didn't care where these assassins came from, he finally simply hid under the desk, and watched those assassins kill his concubines one by one, these women were still calling his name when they were dying, but he could only cover his mouth and not make a sound, if these assassins found out his line of hiding, he would almost die.

Xiao Ling hid under the desk and felt that the time was very long, he didn't even know how long, until the screams outside died down, and the room was bright again, he walked out with weak legs and feet with the help of a group of soldiers, and when he saw the concubine who was still flattering and begging for joy in front of him not long ago, died of blood all over the ground, his eyes were full of great horror.

"Your Highness, all the assassins have been killed, and none of them are alive." The commander of the guards of King Hui's Mansion came over and said to Xiao Ling.

"How, how could this happen, you ...... How do you do things, Mr. Sima, where is he? I want to see him! Xiao Ling shouted as if she was almost out of control.

The people next to him were very embarrassed, they all looked at each other, and the commander of the guards said: "Your Highness, Mr. Sima went to Fujian and Zhejiang to supervise military affairs a few months ago, and he was in distress on the way back, and now he ...... His whereabouts are unknown. ”

Xiao Ling was suddenly stunned and said, "When is this happening, I ...... Why doesn't this king know? ”

The people next to him were even more embarrassed, they used to tell Xiao Ling this, Xiao Ling only cared about spending time and drinking, how could he ever care about Sima Yi's life and death. Now that something happened, I suddenly thought of Sima Yu, because in the past, the security around Xiao Ling was arranged by Sima Yi, but now, the guards in the mansion have long been replaced, and some people with ulterior motives have removed some important positions in the royal mansion in order to install eyeliners, and the scene of guests gathering in the mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve is a little chaotic, which makes the assassins take advantage of it.

"Your Highness's condolences are good!" Next to humanity.

"Condolences? What is the mourning? Mr. Sima may not be dead, you should send someone to find ......" Xiao Ling said as he was still distressed about the death of his concubines. But he didn't understand, in fact, the people around him advised him to mourn and change because of his dead concubine, not Sima Yu.

When he got outside, Xiao Ling realized that the situation outside was even more miserable, the soldiers were still carrying the dead bodies, and most of the guests who came to the mansion were civil officials, and the assassins were menacing, and the people in the mansion were like lambs to the slaughter, and they had no ability to resist.

Xiao Ling said angrily: "Don't you boast all day long that the guards in King Hui's mansion are tighter than the palace? Is it that tight? In the past, Zhu Tongjing and Xie Rumo wanted to attack this king, but no one had ever been so rampant! ”

Xiao Ling squatted on the ground regardless of her identity, as if she was hugging her head and crying, but no one dared to come forward to find out.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Ling suddenly stood up, wiped her face with her sleeve and said, "Mr. Li, where is Mr. Li?" It is...... Mr. Shanye, you send someone to find out Li Shanye, this king wants to see him, he should know the whereabouts of Mr. Sima! Just go! ”

The entourage around him responded while also playing drums in their hearts, they had all heard of Li Shanye's name, but this Li Shanye was a figure who could not see the end of the dragon, where did they go to find it? Xiao Ling: Isn't this giving them a problem?

"Your Highness, the palace sent someone to send a message to inquire about what is happening here."

Just when Xiao Ling was almost out of control, another guard came over to pay respects.

Xiao Ling was a little angry and said: "It's really troublesome, what can happen, isn't it just a few people who died...... Woo, as long as I'm not dead, go in and tell my imperial niece, just say that his imperial uncle is blessed with a great life, and now this life is well preserved, but tomorrow is not certain. ”

"Your Highness, do you need to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty? Your Majesty has invited you to the palace for a reunion before, but ......"

Xiao Ling shouted loudly: "But what? You group of wine bags and rice bags, sure enough, all of you are not thinking about the country, the country, and the society, knowing that my emperor's niece sent someone to invite me, why don't you tell this king? Go and prepare the court clothes, and the king will enter the palace to see my imperial niece...... Woohoo......"

The people next to them all felt embarrassed, how undignified and majestic Xiao Ling was in front of him, which was very different from the King Hui who could eradicate Xie Rumo and drive Zhu Tongjing away in their impression. But they don't know, this is Xiao Ling's original appearance, how can he hold the power of life and death in his hands, even he himself is a little inexplicable, from beginning to end it is the people around him who are plotting, and the main planner is the first person who thought of Xiao Ling when he encountered a catastrophe, the friend Sima Yi who had been of great help to him.

"Your Highness, the court clothes are here, you ......" The attendant brought the court clothes, but he was a little hesitant, because Xiao Ling still had a lot of blood stains on his body, and now he changed his clothes outside and entered the palace, which was obviously not in accordance with the rules.

Xiao Ling took the court clothes, put them on his body indiscriminately, and beckoned the guards to accompany him into the palace. (To be continued......)
