"Let's go back. Lord Wang, he didn't want to see anyone. Gu Yu wanted to speak and stopped.

"The prince is drunk again, right?" Qu Lingxue ate several closed doors, holding back a fire in her heart.

Gu Yu nodded: "Come back tomorrow." ”

Qu Lingxue sighed: "You guys are so waiting." ”

After speaking, Qu Lingxue left.

Willow tops on the moon. Qu Lingxue's face was gloomy, and she was very unhappy in her heart.

"My son, the prince has never been waiting to see the princess. Concubine De did not fall ill because of this. It stands to reason that the prince should not be happy? Su Xin was very puzzled.

Qu Lingxue snorted and said, "Although it's not a childhood sweetheart. But they have known each other since childhood. In order to find a long time away, the prince sent all his subordinates out. and thus depressed, and drank to kill his sorrows. It shows that the prince has not been away for a long time in his heart, and he didn't know it before. ”

Su Xin looked worried: "I thought it was a good thing that the princess disappeared, but alas, ......"

Qu Lingxue turned around, put her hands on Su Xin's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I have only been favored for a few days, and this kind of thing happened." Su Xin, did you get discouraged so quickly? Our good days in the Chu Wangfu haven't been around for a few days! ”

"Widow, the slave is worried about the princess's return. The slave was also worried that she would not return. However, the slave maid still thinks that it is good that the princess does not come back. After a long time, the prince naturally forgot about her, and he will return to the widow! Su Xin said.

Qu Lingxue sighed and continued to walk forward: "Whether or not you can come back after a long time is not something we can decide. So, it's not helpful to think too much. ”

In just a few days, Xia Heyuan is no longer what it once was. Seven or eight more maids were dialed here. The yard was cleaned and there were a lot of greenery. The hallways were also freshly painted, and the windows were re-painted.

At night, there was also a noticeable increase in the number of guards patrolling through the summer courtyard.

Qu Lingxue sat in front of the dresser and took off the jewelry on her head one by one.

Previously, he always appeared at this time. Qu Lingxue would see his face in the mirror.

At that time, the other maids were sent away just to make it easier for him to come in.

And now, he won't come again. He was so cautious that he must not be willing to take this risk.

With her hair draped over her shoulders, Su Xin carefully combed Qu Lingxue's hair with a comb.

Qu Lingxue looked at herself who had removed her makeup in the mirror, and only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Su Xin, you go and rest." Qu Lingxue said.

"Yes, widow." Su Xin put down the comb and walked out.

At the moment, there is only yourself, and the surroundings are quiet. Qu Lingxue felt sad in her heart, her nose was sour, and tears flowed out.

Qu Lingxue thought that she knew him very well. However, after all, I miscalculated the word sincerity. He has never been sincere to himself, and Yun Chuhan does not love himself. A sense of loneliness that I had never felt before surrounded me.

***

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the ghost thorn and several other people hurriedly restored the tomb to its original appearance.

"Someone's coming." Ghost Thorn frowned.

As soon as he finished speaking, several other people hurriedly hid. The ghost thorn leaped for life, flew to the tree, and quietly looked down.

A man walked over and stopped in front of the tombstone. The moonlight shone on his face.

He crouched down and looked at it, as if he had noticed something unusual, so he grabbed a handful of dirt with his hand and looked at it. Before, he stood up, looked around warily, and hurried away.

When the ghost saw him leave, he jumped down. Although it had been buried, the earth underneath had been turned up, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it had just been moved.

A few days later.

The ghost thorn returned to the capital, and as soon as he entered the house, he went straight to the main hall.

Situ Jing was holding a book and looking at it carefully. When he saw that the ghost stabbed back, he raised his head and closed the book.

"The young master was right, it was an empty tomb. It seems that Qi Xiao is indeed alive. Ghost Thorn said.

Situ Jing's lips rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "It's been so long, and there is finally progress." It's just that it's a little difficult to get Qi Xiao to appear. ”

"Young master, King Chen's personal guard, Yun Che, also went there." Ghost Thorn said.

Situ Jing narrowed his glasses, as if he was searching for this person named Yun Che in his mind.

"Did he find anything?" Situ Jing asked.

He noticed that the grave had been turned over and hurried away. Ghostphorn replied.

Situ Jing put down the book in his hand and stood up: "I didn't expect King Chen to also be interested in Qi Xiao, no, he was interested in the throne." Xiaomen's financial resources and power are coveted by so many people. Fortunately, it has fallen into my hands for a long time. ”

After speaking, a trace of coldness flashed in Situ Jing's eyes.

"Is the young master going to fake it and be with that woman?"

Listening to the ghost thorn's words, Situ Jing's face showed a mocking look, and his eyes were full of disdain: "Even if her mother is not from Daning." However, there is also his father, who is the prime minister. The blood of the Daning people was bleeding from Jiujiu's body, the dirty blood. If it weren't for ......"

Situ Jing paused, and his expression became a little solemn.

"What about being as beautiful as a fairy? Everyone in Daning makes me feel incredibly disgusted. ”

After speaking, Situ Jing's eyes became fierce and hateful.

Situ Jing took out something from his sleeve. The ghost stabbed at a glance, it was the secret weapon of Xiaomen that he brought back that night.

"Why does the young master keep this thing?" Ghost Thorn wondered.

Situ Jing smiled coldly: "That night, the people from Xiaomen were near the Chu Palace. Maybe, it will be mixed in the palace of the king of Chu. What does this mean? ”

The ghost thorn thought for a moment and said, "The people of Xiaomen have been protecting for a long time. ”

Situ Jing shook his hand and threw the hidden weapon on the table: "Qi Min is the pearl of Qi Xiao's palm." Her only daughter, how could he, as a grandfather, not care? ”

Situ Jing didn't have the slightest ease in his heart. In the past few years, in order to find Qi Xiao, he tried his best to send out many people, but he found nothing. He had to find another breakthrough.

So, Situ Jing thought of leaving for a long time.

It was an accident that he fell into the water for a long time, but it was not by chance that he appeared there.

Situ Jing waved his hand and motioned for the ghost to stab down.

The ghost stabbed and bowed, and walked out.

"Don't waste your time for a long time." Situ Jing muttered.

It's night.

"Jiujiu, what do you think I brought back?" Situ Jing was holding a bag of things in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he said mysteriously.

Li Jiujiu hurriedly ran over: "Roast duck? ”

Situ Jing gently scraped his nose with his hand, and said with a smile: "You know how to eat!" ”

After speaking, Situ Jing put the things in his hand on the table and took them out one by one. There were red candles, red paper with the word Xi written on them, and a few other things.

Li Jiujiu blushed all of a sudden, and understood what he meant.

Situ Jing smiled and took Lijiu into his arms: "Jiujiu, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Lijiu blushed, buried his head in his arms, and nodded.

Situ Jing let go of his hand, took a step back, and looked at Li Jiujiu. He took Lijiujiu's hand and said, "Jiujiu, I have no relatives. Why don't you invite your relatives over there to drink our wine? ”

Hearing Situ Jing say this, Li Jiujiu showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "It is estimated that Prime Minister Li will beat me to death." As for the others......"

Situ Jing nodded: "It's definitely not okay to leave the prime minister." However, I don't want us to be lonely and lonely, and no one will bless us. ”

Li Jiujiu sighed: "It would be nice if Bi Luo was here." ”

Situ Jing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Since you can't stay away from the prime minister's side, do you have any relatives on your mother's side?" Grandparents, uncles, cousins, etc. ”

Li Jiujiu frowned and shook his head: "I only know that there are rumors that I have a grandfather, and I don't know about the rest." However, I don't know if the rumors are true or not, and I haven't met any grandfather. ”

Situ Jing pretended to be puzzled: "Grandfather? Rumor? It can't be the old man Qi of some kind of door, right? ”

"You've heard that rumor too?" Li Jiujiu looked at Situ Jing and didn't think much about it.

Situ Jing nodded: "I've heard of it before, and I just remembered it." Jiujiu, is your mother really the only daughter of Old Man Qi? ”

"I don't know. My mother died when I was very young. I don't even remember what she looked like. Li Jiujiu smiled, picked up a candle and looked at it.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Situ Jing's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

As the night deepened, the originally quiet mountain became more silent.

Close your eyes for a long time. Situ Jing sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her. The tenderness on his face disappeared without a trace, and there was only coldness in his eyes.

For a long time, I was motionless for a long time, only the sound of even breathing.

"For a long time." Situ Jing shouted quietly.

It's still motionless for a long time, and it looks like he's sleeping soundly.

After making sure that he had fallen asleep for a long time, Situ Jing got up. He did not go back to his bedroom, but went out into the courtyard.

Outside, a dark shadow flashed.

"Who?" Situ Jing immediately chased after him.

The shadow fled to a nearby pine forest and stopped. It seems that he deliberately led Situ Jing over.

In the moonlight, a woman stood with a veil on her face, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes.

"You brought me here to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Situ Jing looked at the woman not far away, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The woman let out a few laughs, and then said, "Situ Gongzi naturally left people nearby, and they must all be masters." Don't worry, Childe, I'm here alone. ”

"Who are you?" Situ Jing looked at her vigilantly.

The woman took a token from her waist and held it up: "Can Situ Gongzi recognize this?" ”

Situ Jing looked at it, it was a delicate token, with the sign of Xiaomen on it, and a Xia character.

Situ Jing was happy in his heart: "I heard that Xiaomen has four halls in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The girl is from Xia Zhitang. ”

The woman smiled and put away the token: "Situ Gongzi is a smart person, then I'll say it directly." My master knew that Situ had been looking for him. A few days ago, Situ Gongzi's subordinates also went to the empty grave. ”

"I don't know where Old Man Qi is now? Jiujiu and I are about to get married. Situ Jing pretended to be calm and said.
