When she was a child, Lime never fully remembered. But by linking the royal secrets she's discovered over the past few years with her incoherent memories, she'll be able to get a rough picture of what happened ten years ago.

Back then, her father and Xiao Guogong were close friends, so she and Man Xue have been playmates since childhood.

When she was young, she was most loved by the Empress Dowager, and often stayed with the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager was afraid that she would be bored alone, so she summoned Man Xue into the palace every time to accompany her.

At that time, Fang Han was the favorite prince of the first emperor, he was very smart, and he showed extremely high talent at a young age.

The first emperor valued him and sent many teachers to teach him alone, so he was very busy with his schoolwork and had almost no time to play. But even so, Fang Han still came to Cining Palace every day to greet the Empress Dowager, and Fang Han and Manxue met in Cining Palace.

Later, Xiao Guogong became Fang Han's concubine, and Man Xue became Fang Han's scholar and studied with him.

According to the rules of the palace, only the crown prince among the princes is qualified to have his own prince, and the first emperor made an exception for Fang Han, which aroused the resentment of the East Palace.

In that year, the Empress Dowager was assassinated, Fang Han's biological mother Concubine Xianshu was unjustly imprisoned and sentenced to death, and Fang Han was also sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for the Empress Dowager and confess to the Empress Dowager for her mother.

Concubine Xian Shu is gentle and virtuous, and the governor is reasonable, Xiao Guogong does not believe that Concubine Xian Shu will do such disloyal and unfilial things, so he has been secretly investigating the truth.

A year later, Xiao Guogong finally confirmed to the first emperor that the mastermind of the case was the biological mother of Fang Hong, the prince of the East Palace, and the queen Dong.

The first emperor ordered the execution of the Dong family, abolished the crown prince and demoted him to a commoner, and was never allowed to enter Beijing, and took Fang Han back from the imperial mausoleum, and raised him in the childless concubine of the knees, that is, the current queen mother, and half a year later, he was established as the prince.

"When I saw him today, I really felt sorry." Seeing that Manxue only ate the rice in the bowl one bite at a time, and ignored the dishes she had prepared for her, Lime knew that she was distracted again, "It's really embarrassing that such a genius has experienced such twists and turns, but has become a mediocre emperor." ”

"Throughout, has anyone ever asked him if he would like to?" Man Xue frowned slightly, and distress and unbearability flowed between her eyebrows.

"This is the helplessness of being born in the emperor's family, that is his mission, and no one can change it." Lime Road.

"I know." Manxue smiled helplessly, "Sister, what did he tell you today?" ”

"It's just reminiscing, talking about some things from childhood." Putting down the teacup, Lime said lightly.

"Reminiscing?" Such a breezy answer made Manxue break out in a cold sweat, my sister didn't know the past between her and Fang Han, how did she reminisce about the past, "Sister, how do you talk to him?" ”

"He said it alone, I just told him, I don't remember." Lime chuckled, "I'm telling the truth, I really don't remember." ”

"Sister, what do you mean, you told Fang Han that I had amnesia?" Manxue blinked and pointed at herself.

"It was no secret in the capital that the third lady of the Xiao family returned to her hometown to recuperate after suffering from brain disease, and it was not an unbelievable thing to lose her memory due to brain disease." Lime Road.

In fact, in that case, there was no other good way to get rid of it once and for all than amnesia.

"That's right, in this way, it does save a lot of trouble." Manxue nodded, and her eyes were lonely.

The aroma of the wine suddenly became very strong and pungent, and the snow came back to her senses, and saw that the lime had poured a cup of osmanthus brew for her and brought it to her, "You are out of your mind again." ”

"Sister, there's something I haven't told you all along." Man Xue lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and finally spoke, "When I left back then, I sent a letter to Fang Han and told him that I was leaving. He said that he would bury two jars of osmanthus brew, one for the day I returned, and the other for ...... Stay on the day he marries me. ”

Hearing this, Lime was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect that the childhood sweetheart between Fang Han and Manxue could not change for ten years.

If Fang Han really wants to marry Xiao Shiyu, he will continue to play the role of Xiao Shiyu and marry Fang Han instead of Xue'er?

Lime thought about it for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, but found that this is the only way to go.

"Cher, if he wants to marry you, are you willing to marry?" Lime asked.

"I'm ......" Manxue blushed and couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing Manxue like this, Lime couldn't bear it in her heart, she had sacrificed too much for herself in the past ten years. She hesitated for a long time, and finally opened her mouth with difficulty, because this time was her last chance.

"Cher, would you like to help me?" Lime paused and shook Manxue's hand, "Master finally allowed me to go out of the valley, if I can enter the palace to investigate, I will definitely gain something." If Fang Han asks to marry, it is not a bad strategy to push the boat down the river. ”

"For so many years, I know best what my sister has done for this matter, and I know how important the truth is to my sister." Man Xue held Lime's hand, her eyes were full of distress, "Sister doesn't need to worry about the future, I support my sister to do anything." ”

"Cher, thank you." Lime lowered her eyes, felt the force from her palm, the corners of her lips rose, and her eyes showed a little expectation, "My brother is a teacher of Taixing, I believe he will be fine." He has not been heard from so far, perhaps incognito, pursuing the truth like me, if this is the case, he may be found in the palace. ”

"Sister, Xue'er has something to ask for." The hand holding the lime suddenly tightened, and Man Xue said, "Please sister promise Xue'er, no matter what, don't hurt his life." ”

Lime knew that Manxue was referring to Fang Han, "Although the first emperor personally ordered the extermination of the palace, there was something strange about what happened back then. What the truth is, maybe Fang Han knows better. What I want is the truth, to rehabilitate my father, not his life, not to mention that although Fang Han is not a good emperor, but after all, he is the people of Li Min who are Su Yan, although I have resentment in my heart, how can I ruin the peace of Li Min for my own selfishness. ”

"Sister is righteous, Xue'er is ashamed." Manxue was relieved and much more relaxed, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Lime.

"What is the righteousness, I just believe in the vision of my father, my father is loyal to the first emperor, and he is not foolish. My father has been concerned about the people of the court all his life, how can I let him down. Lime narrowed her eyes, and her eyes were a little moist.

His father, King Rongma, had a lifetime of great military achievements, but his death was unknown, and he was infamous for rebellion. If you don't find out the truth and rehabilitate your father, how can you let your father rest in peace under Jiuquan.

Lime came back to her senses and remembered what she had told Manxue today, "By the way, how is the matter investigated?" Can you have eyebrows? ”

"Not yet, that person's information is really insufficient, and there is no way to start." Man Xue pursed her lips and complained, "Sister, how did you provoke this person?" ”

"Why did I provoke him, it was he who suddenly appeared in the Sakura Pavilion, and he didn't reveal his identity, and he actually knew that you and I came from the deep valley, which really has some background." Lime frowned slightly, a little confused, "For some reason, I always felt that he was very familiar, as if I had known him for many years. ”

"I'll let the following continue to pay attention to this person, but there seems to be something wrong with the eldest brother." Talking about Xiao Shizhi, Manxue's face was full of doubts, and she said puzzledly, "I only knew that the eldest brother had left home to practice martial arts since he was a child, and today I found out that the eldest brother actually went up to Taihang Mountain with the prince, and the eldest brother disappeared with the prince back then, but a few years later, only the eldest brother came back alone." What puzzles me the most is my father, today I flipped through the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, and found that the ancestors of the Xiao family have clear teachings, and the Xiao family is not allowed to enter the profession as a doctor. But now that the eldest brother is the chief academician of the Tai Hospital, his father actually allowed the eldest brother to do this kind of unfilial thing that violates the ancestral teachings! ”

"What do you say, don't be a doctor!" Hearing this, Lime was shocked.

Xiao Shizhi violated the ancestral teachings and took the doctor as an official, and he must have a plan. Xiao Shiheng acquiesced to his son's unfilial behavior that violated the ancestral teachings, what is the secret in this?

The most important thing is that Xiao Shizhi disappeared with his brother, but came back alone, Xiao Shizhi must know his brother's whereabouts!

"Brother." Lime muttered softly, a little flustered in her heart, she hadn't heard from her brother for too long, and this sudden news made Lime a little overwhelmed, "Xue'er, prepare for me, I'm going to visit Aoge at night tonight." ”

Late at night, Xiao Mansion Proud Pavilion.

The night was already deep, Xiao Shizhi put down the pen in his hand and was preparing for a wide coat. But hearing a slight sound, Xiao Shizhi squinted, glanced out the window, and said loudly, "Since you're here, why don't you show up?" ”

Then, the window creaked, and a lilting black figure stepped into the room. The person who came was dressed in black, covered his face with a black veil, couldn't see clearly, couldn't distinguish between men and women, it was lime.

"This is this year's new tea Cangshan snow green, produced in the foothills of Cangshan Mountain. It's hard to find a tael of gold, but you can try it. After looking at the people, Xiao Shizhi picked up the tea on the bookcase and took a sip, and pointed to the tea set on the table not far away.

Lime glanced at the tea set on the table, slightly hesitating.

"If you don't drink tea and chat with me, how can you achieve your goal?" Seeing that the person did not move for a long time, Xiao Shizhi raised his eyebrows, put down the cup in his hand, played with a folding fan, and carefully looked at the person in front of him, his body was thin, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, so the corners of his mouth raised lightly, "What does the girl think?" ”

"Lord Xiao has good eyesight." Lime spoke, her voice hoarse, apparently altered by medicine, "Thank you, for the tea." ”

It seemed that he wanted to make him speak, and this tea must be drunk, and Lime poured himself a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?" Just as the tea was about to be eaten, Xiao Shizhi suddenly spoke, his eyes revealing a little essence, and he smiled evilly.

Lime stopped suddenly, but only a moment later, he calmly put the tea in his mouth, "Cangshan Snow Green really lives up to its name, and its lips and teeth are fragrant." ”

"Good courage, good courage!" Xiao Shizhi got up, bypassed the bookcase, and walked slowly towards the lime, with a little admiration in his tone, "However, are you really not afraid that I will be poisoned?" ”

"If the adults wanted to kill me, they would have done it a long time ago, not to mention..."Lime looked at the tea making utensils on the table and said, "Since the adults make tea themselves, they must be tea lovers, how can they poison the tea and spoil the snow green of this mountain." ”

"What does the tea I brew taste like?" Looking at the tea set, Xiao Shizhi's eyes were a little gloomy, and he asked inexplicably.

"The lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless." Lime wondered, where did his sudden gloom come from? After tasting the aroma of tea, Lime replied seriously.

"Unfortunately, I can't cook him." Xiao Shizhi muttered to himself, as if he was recalling something, and his expression looked a little sad.

"The person Childe said—" Lime said meaningfully, trying to find out something.

Xiao Shi was shocked that he had revealed his true feelings in front of this stranger, which was tantamount to exposing his weaknesses. There is something special about this woman that allows her to let her guard down unconsciously. After carefully looking at the woman covered by the black veil for a long time, Xiao Shizhi replied, "Naturally, it is the one who gave me the tea ceremony." ”

"Oh." Lime rolled his eyes slightly, and he was slandered in his heart, but this person reacted quickly.

"You came here today, I'm in a good mood, what do you want to ask, maybe I can tell you." The woman's quick eyeball appearance made him laugh a little, and he was suddenly in a good mood, and the haze of Fang Cai was swept away, as if it had never happened.

"How does Childe know that I have something to ask?" Xiao Shizhi's attitude made Lime instantly alert, and she really couldn't guess his intentions.

"The Pavilion is very clean, and there are no rare things to worry about. Since you enter the room calmly and do not do anything with me, you naturally ask for me. Xiao Shizhi asked impatiently, "Say, are you sick, or is your family sick?" What is the disease? Have you ever seen Lang Zhong? ”

"Heart disease, Childe may be cured?" Lime asked.

"Tell me about it." Xiao Shizhi was slightly stunned, and his eyes were a little more unusual.

"I heard that Gongzi left home with the prince of Yiwangfu to practice martial arts, but now only Gongzi has returned, I don't know where the prince is?" Lime was calm, and the muscles in her body tensed, ready to do it.

"You use drugs to change your voice, nothing more than to hide your identity, but at the same time you expose yourself." Xiao Shizhi squinted dangerously, stared at the lime deadly, and said word by word, "Either you have already met with me, or we will meet later." Even if I can't keep you today, I will find you in the future, aren't you afraid of death? ”

As soon as the words fell, the folding fan in Xiao Shizhi's hand suddenly unfolded, and a sharp sword popped out of the fan bone, stabbing straight at the lime.

Lime was startled, quickly dodged, but was helplessly taken advantage of by Xiao Shizhi, in the small study, there was no chance to shoot for a while, so he had to drop a smoke/bomb, find an opportunity, and quickly leave this place.

"Thirteen, follow her!" Surrounded by smoke, Xiao Shizhi's brows tightened, and his eyes showed a dangerous light.

Out of the proud pavilion where Xiao Shizhi lived, Lime performed light skills and went all the way to the west. It wasn't until he completely shook off the chasing people that he slowed down, turned a few more corners, and entered the fireworks resort, leaning on the Moon Tower.
