What does Huo Yunwan want to say? Xue Ling thought for a while and didn't have a reason, so he put his hand on the desk casually, too lazy to care.

The Imperial Forest Guard in Beijing has been firmly controlled by the Huo family since three years ago, that is, Huo Yunsheng lost his post, but the power is still there. Ordinary people, if they want to shake, there is almost no possibility, except for Wei Long. But Wei Long and the Huo family are afraid of each other, and if they want to move, they must always have a reason. If it is peaceful, it will not be criticized by the courtiers, and the henchmen of the Huo family will not allow it, so he will naturally not easily offend the anger of the public.

Unless, come and push Wei Long. Let him know that the Huo family has to move. The best, it was pushed by the people of the Huo family, and it was necessary to launch the feeling of "can you bear me".

Judging from the results of these two days, there should be nothing wrong. Huo Yunwan was able to hand over things, which showed that everything was safe in the palace, and Xue Ling took it a little away. But in her plan, Huo Yunsheng went back, and the matter was only half done. The remaining half, in Li Aguna. It's just that I went to Li Aniu's residence a few times, but I still didn't see anyone, Guo Chi said that he was injured by the thief, and the boss took him away, and he didn't know which day he would return.

couldn't help but make her a little anxious, Wei Long's suspicion was too serious. Li Aniu is considered to be a member of the Imperial Forest Guard, in case it was arranged by Huo Yunsheng and dealt with directly, it is not known. In case it is not the desired result, then a whole village of people...... It's all gone. So much so that her trip to Xianbei was put on hold for the time being, waiting for Li Aniu's news.

A few days later, the Queen Mother's sealing ceremony set a holiday. Those eyes that explored the Yongchun Palace naturally moved elsewhere. The little palace maid handed over a letter, saying that it was given by the master. Huo Yunwan didn't dismantle it, and moved it directly to the phoenix candle, until the flames were about to swallow her fingers, and then she threw it away.

The close-fitting grandmother turned around to get the pen and ink, and Huo Yunwan said lazily: "That's it, this letter doesn't have to be replied to."

In a few days, her father will come in with Yao'er in the name of visiting her eldest sister. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to cry for a while, saying that the emperor no longer believes in himself, and deliberately makes a situation to lure the Huo family into the bait, but in fact, he just wants to find a reason to stuff his Huang family into the royal forest guard to share the power of the Huo family.

I don't know if Huo Zhun will believe it? Yes. A few days ago, the emperor didn't just seal his mother's family, but he didn't plan to elevate the Huang family and step on the Huo family's status in Beijing.

Someone came in and whispered a few words, Huo Yunwan grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds casually and said, "Good job." ”

She looked up at the clouds outside the window, a little distracted. I don't know what the girl surnamed Xue had when she received the box, and when will she come back to find herself? If you don't come, it's not easy to urge yourself. I have to go to see the girl in Xuese, I heard that Wei Long has not been to Yaoguang Hall for several days, and the maid has died and has not given a few new ones, so he sent a grandmother to deliver food, and he was frightened when he thought about it. It's also pitiful, I don't know if I was forced to ask anything by Wei Long, probably yes. But what can be asked, how can anyone in the palace know so coincidentally that she is going to leave the palace? Even the Queen Mother only found out after the fact.

In the Yaoguang Palace, the snow shrank on the bed day by day, and the humble body flew up to the branches. Except for the branch that is willing to hold her, the others, not only will not like it, but only have endless contempt. is in front of the favor, and the Yaoguang Palace is only a lot of birds, not to mention that it has lost power today. The so-called Xiaogan Monarch is just a lie that has been spread outside, and here, there are only dozens of lives circling.

The only consolation is that Grandma is not embarrassed, and she serves three meals a day well. People, who will still be used in the future, the most important body bones, cannot be wasted for the time being.

No one has told a lie, including Xue Se, she has never told anyone that she wants to leave the palace, even the little maid Fangqing with her. So much so that she has been thinking about it over and over again these days, who is it, who knows that she is going to leave the palace. Even I never expected that the emperor would allow me to go out of the palace to worship.

The cause of this incident was that Mrs. Su asked someone to deliver a letter and said, "It is probably rainy upstream, and the river on the outskirts of the city has swelled a few days ago, and most of the tombs of my mother have been washed away. It's just that the master who invited said that this matter may damage the blessings of future generations, and asked Niangniang to chant more scriptures in the palace to eliminate disasters and solve problems. ”

She naturally did not dare to slacken, the mother walked on the Chinese New Year's Eve, the villagers felt unlucky, no one was willing to help with the burial, and later a few people said that they were old friends, and they did not dare to have more trouble, according to the wishes of the mother, they chose a place near the water for hastily burial, thinking that if there is wealth in the future, they will choose a blessed land. Life has changed dramatically, and today thousands of people love one, but they can't burn a few paper money for their mothers.

The snow is inevitably depressed, and I don't like to see people, and I don't have any friends anyway. But the rules are indispensable, morning and dusk are inevitable, it has always been the queen in the palace Yingying Yanyan laughed, she couldn't interject, just sat in the corner and listened silently. Most of the time I laughed it off, but that day, I was in love. A concubine said that "the heat is getting heavier", and a beauty said, "No, the summer solstice will be soon". The queen smiled gently and generously as always: "In the past, at home, the summer solstice festival was not a small day, and it was to worship ancestors and pray to God." Those who echoed were all "No, who doesn't hope that there will be no disasters and no diseases, and there will be more than one year after another." ”

Xue Se lowered her eyes, she knew more about the Summer Solstice Festival than these girls. In the folk, the time is busy with farming. The people who watch the heavens and eat must pray to the heavens to hang the curtain and the ancestors to bless them. The arrival of the summer solstice is particularly important, not only to harvest the spring seeds, but also to start preparing for the autumn storage. Her mother also wanted to ..... she suddenly remembered her mother's tomb, and Mrs. Su said that it had been repaired, and she couldn't get out of the palace, even if she burned some paper money? The emperor seems to be very good to himself, and it shouldn't be a big request to secretly burn some paper money.

She didn't expect Wei Long to promise to leave the palace, and she was overjoyed and remembered that Wei Long confessed that she wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, and after returning to the room, she didn't even go out of the door, and the ingots were all hidden by herself and secretly folded with gold foil. lest it be discovered, just a few small, less than a basket, thinking of going to the street and asking the emperor's guards to help buy some. There is no problem here. How could it be, how could anyone know that they were going out of the palace? Why the emperor didn't believe him, maybe, maybe his guards said it.

The night wind blows and hunts, how long will she be trapped here? Will those maids and eunuchs turn into ghosts and come to ask for their lives?

Deshou Palace has been generally arranged, and the eunuchs and palace maids are still picking up some daily ornaments in the treasury to put them, and the queen mother's relocation of the palace is not a trivial matter. The Ji Mansion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also been completed and sent to the Empress Dowager Shengci Zhaoshu, but the Empress Dowager has not shown her words for a long time. The kneeling people didn't dare to breathe, lest something they did not fit their wishes.

Fortunately, the emperor came quickly, and said: "Why are so many people kneeling, but what is not done well, it is also in a hurry, they are in a hurry, and then change it, the queen mother beware of the phoenix." ”

The Empress Dowager Zhaoshu took her eyes off the auspicious clothes and said: "The emperor is here, there is no one to pass on, let's get up and go back, whether it is good or not, the queen mother doesn't care about this." ”

The little eunuch brought a chair for Wei Long to sit down, and the palace maid quickly brought the freshly brewed tea. After receiving the order of the Queen Mother, the people of the Internal Affairs Office scattered in the blink of an eye.

The Empress Dowager Zhaoshu fiddled with the eighteen sons in her hand and said: "The emperor has not taken the initiative to sit here at the mourning house for a long time, and it is rare to come here today." ”

"It turned out that the son was unfilial, if it weren't for the snow color, I wouldn't be able to understand the hard work of the queen mother."

"What kind of hard work can the mourning family have, after all, it is just for the sake of the reputation of the Son of Heaven and help cover up one or two. And when it has passed, it passes. The emperor had to stay as a cat and dog, and no one dared to stop him. But the harem, you always have to give the queen some face, how long have you not entered the door of Yongchun Palace? ”

"The queen mother taught me a lesson. I won't lose Yun Wan. ”

"There you go."

"The son quit".

Empress Dowager Zhaoshu rubbed her fingertips, and the feeling of touching the gold and silver threads on the auspicious clothes had not completely subsided. Finally, no one called themselves concubines, in this palace, for women, only the word "after" is pleasing to the ear. But his own son doesn't understand.

And after his son became the emperor, he didn't want to be a son. But she didn't want an emperor, otherwise, why bother to lose the emperor of the year.

Fortunately, Huo Yunwan understood that although she came to beg for herself because she was afraid of the hot potato, she didn't live up to the friendship that reached out to help her back then. At that time, the purpose was to win over the Huo family, but didn't it also give Huo Yunwan a way to live.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, the emperor is here, you can prepare." The little eunuch ran out of breath to inform Huo Yunwan.

The palace maid below is also very happy, since the fox and the snow climbed the dragon bed, the emperor has not come to Yongchun Palace for a long time. I said it wasn't a good thing, and my mother refused to send it out.

Huo Yunwan bowed and saluted: "The emperor has had dinner, but the concubines don't." The dishes in the small kitchen are all the emperor's favorite food. ”

Wei Long stared at Huo Yunwan for a long time, and said, "Are they all my favorite food?" Wan'er has the same heart with me, and knows that I am coming. ”

Without the emperor's orders, how could Huo Yunwan dare to get up? But he said shyly: "The emperor is talking nonsense, the dishes of Yongchun Palace... Every day, I pick up the emperor's favorite food to do, and the concubines. The concubines are afraid that the emperor will suddenly come and it will not be to their taste."

"What are you doing bending over, I said earlier that Wan'er doesn't need to be polite." Wei Long smiled and helped Huo Yunwan up, as if he was just joking. There is no such thing as heart-to-heart communication in the world, only tongue-to-tongue communication. I'm afraid I knew that someone would call him over.

When did his mother and queen stand all the way?

Huo Yunwan put a handful of snow cabbage silver sprouts into Wei Long's bowl and said, "The emperor quickly tasted it, the concubine picked it all afternoon." ”

"Wan'er works hard, it is better than what others do." Wei Long stuffed it into his mouth, not forgetting to joke. It was he who dismissed the people of the Huang family, so Old Man Huang found Huo Zhun?

Huo Yunwan threw away her chopsticks in disgust: "The emperor is used to making fun of his concubines, if this is the case, he will not come to his concubines for most of the month."

"It's me, it's not, it's not a good training for the queen mother." Wei Long is still the prince, coaxing himself as a concubine. What are the people of the Huang Huo family going to do when they join forces, is it possible that they want to elevate themselves as the emperor?

......Huo Yunwan knelt on the ground in horror and said, "The concubine lost her words, please forgive the emperor." ”

The palace maid who was standing aside and waiting also quickly knelt on the ground, God, fortunately the queen didn't finish the sentence that she wanted, otherwise she wouldn't have survived if she heard it.

Wei Long let out a long breath, threw down his chopsticks and said, "That's it, I still have some folds that I haven't finished, and I'll come to see you again tomorrow." ”

Huo Yunwan put her head on the ground: "The concubine will send your majesty." ”

Wei Long couldn't tell whether the fear in her words was true or false, and smiled: "Get up, my queen has any gaffes." As he spoke, he filled a bowl of soup and used some more.

A moment later, Huo Yunwan sent Wei Long to the gate of the palace.

Wei Long stroked the hair on the tips of the queen's ears and sideburns, and whispered: "What did the queen do in the palace of Concubine Shu that night, if you have any grievances, just come and talk to me." In the future, the concubine will be the queen mother, so it is better to go less, so as not to disturb the queen mother's purity. Yun Wan will always be my queen. ”

The last eunuch also walked away, Huo Yunwan turned around and entered the house with a smile, and the table of dishes had not yet been withdrawn. The dish of snow cabbage and silver sprouts was just a chopstick clip.

She never said that she wanted to be a queen, let alone forever so far away. But it doesn't matter, Wei Long is alive, she is the queen.

As for what she was doing in the Queen Mother's palace on the night of the incident, of course she asked the Queen Mother for mercy, no, she was still a concubine at the time.

She, the queen, was derelict in her duties, and she didn't know that a concubine had slipped out of the palace without permission, and she was assassinated on the street. Fortunately, his brother found out and quickly delivered the news. The Guards.,It's inevitable to be well-informed.。。

But what if the news comes, no matter what, say that the harem is not well governed, take care of it, that is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and the only favor has not faded for more than a month, and everyone else has not seen Tianyan for almost a month. She was in a dilemma, so she could only quickly ask Concubine Shu for mercy. And my brother Huo Yunsheng has already asked clearly, Xue Niangzi went out to go to her mother's grave, and her filial piety is commendable, presumably the emperor is also grateful for this, so he was confused for a while.

Maybe, I can be so confused that I will make you the queen mother.

The words are true, every sentence is true, she really doesn't know if Xue Se will leave the palace, let alone say anything about Shen's unitary, it is not a group of women in the harem who are clamoring to pray for the summer solstice, and after lunch, the various palace gates turn around and hang incense sachets, and the trouble will not disperse until sunset. That day, Xuese's sister also said that she couldn't get sick, and she co-authored it because of this.

She was a little surprised, the emperor actually allowed his woman to leave the palace without permission, thinking about which talkative eunuch muttered a few words, "The Snow Lady secretly cried for her mother several times".

Li Aniu has woken up, but he doesn't know where he is. I only know that this place is magnificent, and compared with the broken ground on the outskirts of the city, it is like the difference between the hell of the fairy palace. The sword wound on the chest was almost healed, but one of the ribs was trampled on, and the doctor said that he would have to take care of it for some days.

The people outside guarded and didn't let them out, I don't know what Guo Chi was anxious about, and Miss Qi San who made an appointment that day, such a big event, she should know the reason why she didn't have it. I was also very stupid that day, just catch the petty thief, and when I saw the professional killer who was dressed and couldn't recognize anything, I got together and threw half my life.

Lone Star changed several people and knocked on the side, but still didn't ask anything suspicious from Li Aniu's mouth, and the other brothers went to check the people around them, and there were no loopholes. It's rare that this person still knows Su Kai and says that he is from a place. When he came to Beijing together, Su Kai was the top student in high school, but this person was still a city patrolman. It doesn't have to be used, it's just that. But when the Cypriots entered the Imperial Forest Guard, the general fortress was reasonable, and they either made meritorious service or passed the examination, so the emperor was not easy to do.

Wei Long listened to everything he found out, and did not ask anyone to delve into the roots of Li Aniu. As long as it has nothing to do with Huo Yunsheng, it can be recharged for the time being. Whether the martial arts are high or not, you can practice again, but it is suitable for this kind of thing, and if you miss it, there will be no more. And Su Kai, the person he thinks he is looking at, is basically stupid and loyal.

At this point, the matter must be closed, Wei Long must be a game, but he didn't grasp the slightest handle. He could only guess who had designed the game. At first, I thought it was the Huo family, but now I feel that the Huang family is also inseparable.

The people in the palace saw with their own eyes that when Xue Liang had just returned to the palace that night, Huo Yunwan went to the palace of the concubine, and no one knew what she said. But later, Concubine Shu went to the Yaoguang Palace to thunder her wrist, and afterwards Concubine Shu suddenly began to speak for Huo Yunwan, he didn't believe that there were no ghosts, but there was no way, it was reasonable for the queen to go to the concubine to ask for peace, it was just a coincidence.

These two families were the main figures who helped him ascend the throne at that time, and afterwards the Huo family's military power was not left behind, and the Huang family covered the sky in the Ministry of Officials. The two occasionally intersect, but only for each other's convenience. Most of the time, the water from the well does not interfere with the water of the river, but now he persecutes the Son of Heaven with the same thing.

Wei Long lay on the chair, not daring to admit his conjecture for a long time. His mother's family actually colluded with the Huo family?

It's not that he doesn't think it's impossible. In the past year, there have been many contradictions with Huang Jiaben, and the emperor can't always obey a woman everywhere when employing people. In addition, the Huang family is big, and it is inevitable that there will be a few black sheep, some of whom have been cut off from office, and those who have cut off their heads. Maybe because of this, the Huang family feels that life is not as smooth as when they first ascended the throne. If you want to make a fuss, remind yourself. It just so happened that the Huo family also had this idea, so it was logical to stand together.

He thought it was a terrible idea. The Imperial Forest Army in Beijing is in the hands of the Huo family, and only half of Shen Yuanzhou in the northwest, and the 100,000 troops closest to Kyoto are the Huang family's pinching talismans. I've never worried about this before, it's terrible.

Xue Ling finally waited for Li Aniu, who looked good, and was packing things with Guo Chi. When he saw her coming, he left his things and came over, saying the reason for the day, and saying that he was going to move. It was a mother who was saved that day, and she has been recuperating in a rich place for the past few days. If you get a blessing in disguise and a reward, you don't have to patrol the streets anymore, but you will have to follow the emperor in the future.

Xue Ling put down the big stone in his heart, but there was not much expression on his face, and he said a few words of congratulations. She didn't dare to ask Li Aniu if she regretted that day, for fear that what she got was not the answer she wanted. I just secretly decided never to do this kind of thing again.

After chatting for a while, Li Aniu asked embarrassedly: "I came back yesterday, and you didn't come." I went to Tao Ji with Brother Guo to see it first, and others said that they didn't sell sword books, what's the matter. ”

"Yes, yes, he's very anxious, I can't tell him to wait, practice swords, practice swords, practice half of his life is gone." Guo Chi leaned over and joked that once his brother was in power, he didn't have to live in this broken ground.

Xue Ling just lied casually that day, and he almost forgot about it, but he was not in a hurry, and said: "You didn't go up to the second floor, the shopkeeper put all the good things on the second floor, I still have something to do today, I'll take you there tomorrow, Tao Ji door, unitary time, see you or leave." Anyway, when she goes back, she will pass by Tao Ji and talk to Tao Hongzhi first, just get two copies out and put them on the table, as long as she gives money, it is expected that the person will not refuse. At that time, I was afraid that the guy was bullying Li Aniu, and the two looked shabby.

Li Aniu's face was embarrassed, and he said: "It's not that it's bad, it's just that Ah Kaituo brought me a message to explain that my son would go to his place at night, and he was worried about my injury." ”

"Then go to Tao Ji earlier, and then go to Su Kai with you, I haven't been to his place for a long time." Xue Ling said casually. She plans to go to Xianbei the day after tomorrow, and Su Yan has to pay more attention to the affairs in the court, so as not to miss anything when she comes back.

"Okay, okay, now that I have money, I'll treat you to a meal." Li Aniu didn't know what Xue Ling was thinking, and laughed loudly. He has been in Beijing for so long, and he has never been so happy as at this moment, and he can hold his head high in front of Miss Qi San.

The people around me all say that they are going to soar.

I was thinking about going to Taoji, but when I walked, I forgot about it, and it was not worth looking back. Xue Ling shook his head, and simply planned to go back to dinner at ten o'clock, and by the way, he would go to Linjiang Immortal to eat something. These days I have been worried, and I will inevitably have a poor appetite. And I'm going to Xianbei immediately, but sometimes I can't eat a good meal

Back at Xue's house, the table had been arranged by her, and she took the pen unruly, but she still felt that the surname of the hundred families was quite satisfactory, especially the Huo character, Xue Ling picked it up and looked left and right. The box given by Huo Yunwan was used by her as a paperweight, and it was stained with a lot of ink stains in a few days.

The matter in Beijing has been dealt with, and Wei Long should be able to attack the Imperial Forest Guard. Xue Ling just wanted the Huo family to fall, and he didn't think about taking over this power, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, the Jiang family was worried about how to put people in front of Wei Long and let him replace the Huo family.

And the Huo family naturally never gave birth to a child, Huo Zhun personally went to ask Huo Yunwan why the news was wrong, and the daughter cried tears and said, "The emperor is afraid that he can't tolerate the Huo family, this matter should be designed by the emperor, and in the previous dynasty, find a reason to gradually cut off the Huo family's power in the Imperial Forest Army, and in the harem, he will be crowned the queen mother and abolish her power as the queen." It was because I was useless that I was fooled. ”

Back to Huo Mansion, Huo Zhun felt that he couldn't delay any longer, and he wanted to borrow Tuoba Mill's hand as soon as possible to cut off the Shen family and monopolize the northwest, only in this way could he not be afraid of Wei Long. Huo Yunsheng rarely agreed with his father. He always thought that he should avoid the emperor's edge, but the emperor did too obviously to assassinate him, and he didn't leave half a point for the Huo family.

There are few people in Xue House, and the food is simple, two or three dishes plus a small bowl of rice, fortunately, Xue Ling is not a picky eater, and after eating, he had to take Qinghong out and shake it twice, and he was stuck in his chin that day and stuffed a pill, which always made people feel palpitations. Although there was no mortal threat, Xue Ling realized that he was too accustomed to calm.

When it comes to real fighting, the short sword suffers too much, and you still have to carry other things with you. In the days to come, it is indispensable to deal with outsiders, and it is no longer in the dark as before. So as the sun went west, he changed his clothes and went to Tao to remember, first to round Li Aniu's lie, and second, to see if there was any long blade that he could carry with him.

Although he expected that the guy knew him, Xue Ling still felt that the hospitality of the man was too much. And he didn't take himself upstairs, but led him to the backyard, saying that the shopkeeper had explained, and Miss Xue would invite her to sit in the backyard when she came.

Xue Ling didn't know what Tao Hongzhi meant, so he shook the pill between his wrists, and he didn't embarrass him. She'd been in it at night anyway, and she didn't have to walk around during the day. Tao Hongzhi was not inside, the guy said that he was about to accompany the guests, asked Xue Ling to wait a while, and invited himself, and then left Xue Ling there alone.

The place was no different from the last time she had visited, with candles burning during the day, and it was empty, and there was not even a tea set on the table. Thinking of the danger of the secret weapon that night, Xue Ling suddenly became interested. Tentatively looking for the location of the mechanism. Unfortunately, I found the corner of the cabinet from the wall, and I didn't find anything suspicious.

She was still a little unwilling, thinking that it might be on the ground, so that Tao Hongzhi could start it with just one step on her foot, so she lay on the ground and felt if there were any loose bricks or something. It's a pity that I still didn't touch anything, I clapped my hands and wanted to stand up, but when I looked up, I found Tao Hongzhi standing at the door with his hands on his chest, looking at himself with interest. As a thief, he blushed instantly.

One rolled over and stood up and said, "I... My hairpin fell off and I didn't find it for a long time. ”

Tao Hongzhi was noncommittal, bypassing Xue Ling and walking to the head of the bed, I don't know where he touched it, a table slowly rose on the table, and the teapot and stove on the top were all available. Then he said to Xue Ling: "Here." ”

Xue Ling laughed dryly twice, walked to the table and did not speak. Tao Hongzhi came over, lit a charcoal fire and boiled water, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to repay the debt, and I will fly away after taking the medicine." ”

Xue Ling was a little embarrassed, after all, he had just run to someone else's house to rummage over things. Who knew that this dog came so quickly, didn't that guy just go and invite it? I really didn't seem to ask for money, but this was not intentional, now the last thing she lacks is money, how can she do such a thing as defaulting on debts, not to mention people like Tao Hongzhi, the mountains do not turn around, I don't know what it means to ask for him one day, what is the meaning of offending and dying.

Xue Ling stretched out his left hand, lifted his sleeve, and revealed the rope tied around his wrist and shook it generously in front of Tao Hongzhi's eyes and said, "It's not bad, you see, I carry it with me every day, so as not to forget your great kindness." ”

The first pot of water was already boiling, Tao Hongzhi poured it into the tea wash, refilled the water and continued to boil, and then took the tongs to hold the tea bowl and scalded it, while asking, "Really?" ”

Xue Ling nodded again and again: "Seriously.." How can it not be true, in case you meet the second Qi Shiyan, you will point to this thing.

Tao Hongzhi's face suddenly became extremely strange, and he was carefully boiling tea there and no longer spoke.

Xue Ling shook for a long time and put his arm down. She has never liked to drink tea, and she can't understand why the people in Beijing have so many tricks in this matter, but Tao Hongzhi has to cook it, and she can't stop it. I was silent for a while, and I realized that it was not a matter for me to go on like this. Xue Ling said: "I came today to find out if there is a blade like software that is convenient for women to use." ”

Tao Hongzhi didn't raise his head and said, "Yes." ”

Xue Ling said: "In addition, I want to ask you for a favor, my friend who uses a heavy sword wants to find a few sword books, I asked him to come and see Ming'er, can you prepare it first, lest you get it when you don't have it, I'm not good at it?"

Tao Hongzhi still said in the same tone: "Yes." ”

Xue Ling looked at Tao Hongzhi's strangeness, and the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking if he wanted to explain, he was just curious just now, and he didn't deliberately turn over his room? But it doesn't seem to be convincing to say it, so don't say much, anyway, I lay on the ground for a long time, and I didn't find anything, and I was covered in ashes.

Xue Ling said tentatively: "Then, I'll take a look for myself?" ”

Tao Hongzhi finally raised his head and said, "What's the hurry, have a cup of tea, and I'll accompany you again." After speaking, he lowered his head again, but added, "If I remember correctly, when Miss Xue bought the heavy sword, she said that she was going to give it to her uncle, and this uncle's rank dropped quickly." ”

Xue Ling slapped his thigh and lied with difficulty: "What I probably said is... Uncle's son, you have heard the truth. ”

In this way, the atmosphere was even more awkward, and she just wanted to say that she didn't like to drink any broken tea at all, so it was better to go to see the sword earlier. Tao Hongzhi got up and went to another room without knowing what to do. She could only sit and wait, the water on the stove was already bubbling, apparently boiling.

Fortunately, Tao Hongzhi came back soon, spread out a paper bag, which was filled with some candied fruit, and said: "Today's tea is called Yu Gan, and it is bitter at the beginning." I'm afraid you're not used to it, so take some sweets to press it. As he spoke, he lifted the water, brewed tea, and poured a full cup for Xue Ling.

Xue Ling took it and tasted it, just a little bit, her tongue was about to fall off, and she hurriedly threw the cup out and said, "What a thing." Then I stuffed three or four candied fruits in my mouth. After stuffing it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and got up and picked up the gurgling cup. I feel very uncomfortable. She hates both bitterness and sweetness, and now they have both come together.

Tao Hongzhi took a cup of tea, drank it slowly, turned a blind eye to Xue Ling's rude behavior, and sat there without moving.

Xue Ling put the cup back on the table, sat down again, stared at Tao Hongzhi and drank a cup of tea, and said, "I don't understand why you like to drink this, the tea is also drunk, let's go." ”

Tao Hongzhi refilled himself with a cup and said: "You sit down for a while, since the name is Yu Gan, what you are talking about is a sweet aftertaste, and you have to wait." ”

"Don't wait, I'm in a hurry". Xue Ling stood up, planning that Tao Hongzhi would not move, so she would go by herself. After Ming'er dealt with Li Aniu, she had to leave for Xianbei, and she had to pack her luggage at night.

"There's no way to rush it, it's probably a moment before the toxicity can kick in." Tao Hongzhi was still drinking tea, his eyes were not squinting, and he said without any ups and downs, not like he was poisoned, but like saying that the weather was good tomorrow.

Xue Ling was about to grab the white, but he reminded himself that he was here to beg for someone, so let the dog finish talking first. The next moment, peace slipped into his hand. Said: "Tea is poisonous? ”

Tao Hongzhi: "No".

Xue Ling untied the rope in his left hand and pinched the pill, not knowing whether to eat it or not. The thing was given by Tao Hongzhi, and if he poisoned himself, it was difficult to say if there was a problem with this pill.

Tao Hongzhi looked at Xue Ling, gestured to the stool with his eyes, and said, "Sit." ”

Life is in the hands of others, and it is necessary to be obedient. Xue Ling thought for a while, pulled out the stool, sat farther away, and said, "I don't know what poison it is, and I don't know when it will be poisoned." So, you have a chance to say three words, and if you don't satisfy me, you will die first. lest I die of poison, and I can't do it, and I feel a loss when I go to the palace of Hades. ”

Tao Hongzhi smiled: "Miss Xue is really interesting. ”

"One sentence."

"The effect of the medicine is fast, but it will take several days for people to die."

"Two sentences."

Tao Hongzhi ignored Xue Ling's threat, picked up the tea, and said leisurely: "Why did Miss Xue assassinate the palace concubine at the door of Tao Ji?" ”

Xue Ling stood up with a sense of relief, not to mention whether it was poisonous or not. Her identity has never been dismantled for so many years, and she didn't meet Tao Hongzhi that day, why would Tao Hongzhi know that she assassinated Xue Se.

Tao Hongzhi also changed his expression, and said proudly: "What if the three sentences are finished, since I am sitting here, there must be others who know, if I don't go out, the people behind Miss Xue are afraid that they will be killed alive today." ”

Xue Ling has never been threatened, but she doesn't dare to act rashly, she can't tell how much Tao Hongzhi knows about the whole thing. There are so many people involved, if this person really says it, death is not the most terrible thing at all.

"So, do you want Miss Xue to sit down and talk?"

Xue Ling tucked Pingyi back into his sleeve and sat on the stool as he said, but he didn't look at Tao Hongzhi. As long as she can get out of here today, she will send Xue Li and Li Aniu away before making plans.

Tao Hongzhi washed the new cup, still refilled the cup for Xue Ling, and said: "Yu Gan is a good tea, I don't take it out for hospitality easily." If Miss Xue doesn't drink a few more glasses, it will be a bad idea. ”

It doesn't matter if it's poisonous or not, Xue Ling can't care about the bitterness, he picked it up and drank it all, slammed it back on the table and said, "I'll give you ten more words, if you want to talk about it, if you don't talk about it, I'll kill you first, and then I'll save people." Those who can't be saved come out, leave it to fate. ”

Tao Hongzhi continued to serve tea, changed his smile and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, I just want to ask, why did you assassinate the harem concubine at the door of Tao Ji." ”

Xue Ling had no need to hide it, and said, "Frame Huo Yunsheng." ”

"What is your relationship with the Huo family?"

"I want him to die."

"How do you know about the affairs of the palace? The time and place are still so accurate." Tao Hongzhi pushed the tea in front of Xue Ling and said, "The tea is cold." ”

Xue Ling picked it up angrily, damn, this person just calculated himself, he was forced to eat such an unpalatable thing, and threw it back on the table after drinking: "You can know that it's me, I can't know who is in the carriage, don't pour water anymore, say anything quickly." ”

Tao Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Xue Ling to be so reckless when he knew that he was poisoned, but he ignored her, and still poured a glass and said, "Drink more, it's always beneficial." Your surname is Xue, which Xue? ”

When Xue Ling heard this question, he suddenly laughed, leaned back, leaned back in the chair and said, "It turns out that you don't know, you only know about the assassination that day, and you don't know who my surname is and who I am acting for." Therefore, you can threaten me, it's just this life, but my life is probably stronger than yours. ”

"That's it." Tao Hongzhi saw that he was exposed, and instantly relieved his tense expression, and Xue Ling leaned back and said: "In this case, why don't you and I be open and honest, if we don't conspire with each other, we will go to the sky in the future, and we will go to one side." ”

Xue Ling said: "I just picked a random place to hide, it happened to be at the door of your Tao Ji, what do you need to explain to you?" And what can we do? ”

Tao Hongzhi pointed to Xue Ling's palm and said, "Medicine, the money for medicine hasn't been given yet." ”

Xue Ling threw the pill in his hand on the table with the rope and said, "If you can't receive the money, you will have to take your life, so you can pay it back today, and you can pay the bill." The two sides of the silver and the goods do not owe each other. Can you give me an antidote? ”

Tao Hongzhi pointed to the cup: "Tea, the tea is cold."

After staying in Qi Mansion for so long, the recent events have been quite smooth, Xue Ling has not been forced into such a situation for a long time, and he only feels that the foul words he learned in Pingcheng are about to blurt out. But he endured it, drank another glass, and said, "Do you give it or not?" ”

Tao Hongzhi seemed to have succeeded in his prank, his eyes were full of evil smiles, and he pointed to a whole pot of tea and said: "There is no poison in the tea, it is all an antidote, you can drink it or not." He pointed to the bag of candied fruit and said, "The poison is here, you have eaten three or four grains, I'm afraid you have to bring two pots to be enough." But it doesn't matter, this medicine doesn't kill people, but it can paralyze for more than a month. I just scared you. ”

Xue Ling's face was blue for a while, if it was usual, she would rather cut Tao Hongzhi's dog immediately than have an antidote. It's a big deal to go back and lie down for two months. But now that he is going to Xianbei immediately, there is no way to drag it, so he can only admit this breath.

She drank tea and said, "If you can't tell how to recognize me, I guess you won't have a chance to say it in your life." ”

Tao Hongzhi didn't take this sentence as a threat at all, and said: "I didn't expect you to come, but there is nothing to hide about this matter." He picked up the pill that Xue Ling had unraveled, hung it in the air and shook it, and said with a smile: "The Tao family's medicine, as I said earlier, is the only one in Beijing. The remaining two pills were locked in the warehouse, and as soon as the fight started that day, Tao Ji closed the door, and then the assassin entered my courtyard, I didn't want to cause trouble, so I didn't show up, but the smell afterwards was that this medicine was useless, except for you, it seems, there was no one else. ”

Xue Ling took the pill and put it on his nose and asked carefully, but he didn't smell anything. Tao Hongzhi laughed on the side and said, "Dogs may not be able to smell it." Except for me, I guess only the master who makes medicine can do it. ”

Xue Ling tied the pill back into his hand, and the dog put himself along, so he didn't have to give the money. Tao Hongzhi watched her movements, picked up the teapot and shook it, "Do you want to make another pot for you?" ”

Xue Ling said: "No need, you can boil a few more pots for yourself, if I can't get up the day after tomorrow, I think you can lie in bed for a year, and no one will cook it when the time comes." She has always been eager to repay her, and this is recorded here in advance.

Tao Hongzhi said: "You sit here, if there is no poisonous hair after two moments, it is a solution." I'll go and tell the men to get you some soft swords." With that, he got up and walked out the door.

Xue Ling looked at the departing back and pinched his wrist. She felt that Tao Hongzhi didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but she couldn't make up her mind what to do. The two have known each other for a while, and killing people is always a chore. There was still some residual tea on the table, and she drank two cups angrily. It's just that there is a hint of sweetness in the mouth, not sweeter than the usual sugar, but with a little fragrance of flowers and leaves, and there is no greasy taste at all, which is really sweet.

Later, Tao Hongzhi really took four or five soft swords, the workmanship was ingenious, and it could be used as a belt to tie around her waist, and she didn't lose the magic weapon when she shook it off, she looked at it and liked it. Tao Hongzhi was also generous and said: "You can choose at will, no money." ”

Since he said so, it was even more difficult for Xue Ling to make other plans, so he had to ask casually: "What do you ask me to do." ”

"I don't know what a concubine has to assassinate, I'm afraid you are going to assassinate the emperor."

Xue Ling pretended to be casual and said, "Then what if I really want to assassinate the emperor?" ”

Tao Hongzhi rolled up all the soft swords she had picked up, put them aside, and walked over and said, "Then Miss Xue must invite me along." ”

Xue Ling didn't look like he was joking, but he didn't dare to believe it immediately. What does a street shopkeeper have to do with the palace? After a few glances, he looked away, and casually diverted the topic.

The two of them will be tense, and now they are sitting down, but they are like old friends for many years. After waiting for two moments, Xue Ling was nothing unusual, and explained to Tao Hongzhi not to forget about tomorrow, so he got up and left. Tao Hongzhi was gossiping to send her to the door, but when the two separated, he said: "If Miss Xue has a noble person in the palace and wants to do a favor to match, she wants to deal with some personal matters." ”

Xue Ling casually agreed, but didn't pay attention to it for the time being. Don't say that you can't finish a bunch of things, even if you're idle. Before she knew who Tao Hongzhi was, she didn't dare to act rashly.

As he walked, he couldn't help but raise his left wrist and smell it, but the pill still didn't smell anything. I don't know if Tao Hongzhi is true or false.
