The head of the cell was unwilling, so he was humiliated by Wei Xiyue in public, he wanted to sue his superiors, but Wei Xiyue ignored the school's regulations and beat people without authorization.

But he was secretly suppressed by Huo Lingxiao, and had people drive him out of the Heavenly Academy, and then sent someone to kidnap him and send him to the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion, where he was tortured by thousands of silver needles day and night.

The heart-rending screams of midnight are creepy and add a bit of oppression to this cold dungeon.

Zhou Sheng ran to Wei Qingxue's room every day, and it was rumored that he was chewing his tongue, he was a straight man, and directly announced that he was going to marry Wei Qingxue, and he had asked his father at home to ask for marriage, so that the gossip people shut their mouths.

This year's annual leave can be taken in advance due to some special reasons, Wei Xiyue did not return to the Wei Mansion for the first time, but reminisced with her father's old department, and discussed retraining an army in the deep mountains.

In winter, the snow is falling, and the earth is covered with a layer of white snow and frost, and the branches and leaves are lost.

This year seems to be much colder than usual, and every household has prepared more than twice as many charcoal fires to survive the winter with peace of mind.

Wei Xiaohe and Jiang have been talking about Wei Qingxue's engagement, and Wei Liuming has to enter the palace every day to teach riding.

Wei Xiyue stood in the corridor, looking up at the goose feather snow, with a scarf of snow rabbit fluff around her neck, a cloak, the tip of her nose was a little red, and her eyelashes were covered with layers of frost.

"Miss, the weather is too cold, your body can't be cold, hurry into the house to warm up." Xiaohuan lifted the curtain and pushed Wei Xiyue back into the room.

"Xiyue, I made some sticky cakes today, and I am ready to celebrate the winter solstice, you send a little to the third uncle and three aunts, and by the way, bring this warm clothes to Liu Ming and Qingxue."

Liu put the basket on the table, turned around and walked to the edge of the cabinet, took out the clothes, folded them, and put them away.

"Mother, I want to eat boiled fish today." Wei Xiyue said coquettishly, holding Liu's arm and rubbing it on her shoulder several times.

"Okay, then the mother will do it for you, don't stay in Luohuayuan for too long, remember to come back for dinner." Liu said.

After the two chatted for a few words, Wei Xiyue took Xiaohuan to deliver something.

Xiaohuan held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a basket in the other, only letting Wei Xiyue hold her clothes.

As soon as Wei Xiyue arrives in winter, as soon as her hands are cold, she will get frostbite, and it will take a long time to warm up if she is stiff and can return to a normal temperature.

After Wei Liuming came back, her cheeks were red and swollen, and Wei Qingxue asked after finding out,

"Third sister, what's wrong with your face?" Wei Qingxue broke Wei Liuming's body and clearly saw a fiery red slap print.

"Who hit this?"

"Qingxue, you let go, I was careless." Wei Liuming broke away from Wei Qingxue's hand and ran into the room.

Wei Qingxue stood quietly outside the door, patted the door for a long time, and didn't see Wei Liuming respond, she specified that she suffered in the palace, and she was embarrassed to say who did it.

As soon as Wei Xiyue came, she saw Wei Qingxue taking the initiative to greet her outside the door.

"Qingxue, why are you outside, don't go in quickly, it's all frozen for a while." Wei Xiyue raised her hand and rubbed Wei Qingxue's frozen red ears.

"Big sister, the third sister was bullied and beaten in the palace." Wei Qingxue pouted, seeking Wei Xiyue's comfort.

Wei Liuming in the room heard the movement, it was Wei Xiyue who came, and hurriedly opened the door.

lowered his face and said, "Big sister, don't listen to Qingxue's nonsense. ”

"Let's go in and talk."

The room was lit with red charcoal, and the room was warm, and Xiaohuan took off the cloak for Wei Xiyue and hung it on the shelf.

The three sisters sat at the small round table, forming a triangle, and after the pink tea, they retreated outside the room with Xiaohuan.

"Liu Qing, what's the matter with the wound on your face?" Wei Xiyue asked.

Wei Liuming said that she was embarrassed by Princess Wen Ke, "It was Princess Wen Ke who beat me, I was ordered by the emperor to teach the princesses how to size, but this Princess Wen Ke felt too tired and unhappy, so she slapped me." ”

"I didn't dare to argue with Princess Wen Ke in the palace, so I had to swallow my anger, I didn't expect her to be more and more excessive." After Wei Liuming finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the whiplash wound on his arm.

Wei Qingxue was angry and cried, "This Princess Wen Ke is notoriously rude and willful, this whip must be very painful!" Staring at the wound on Wei Liuming's hand, he said.

"Princess Wen Ke? I haven't heard of her, what is her origin? Wei Xiyue asked curiously.

"She is the emperor's favorite daughter, although Princess Wen Ke's mother status is low, but when Princess Wen Ke was born, there were purple stars in the sky, symbolizing auspiciousness, and she has always been held in the palm of the emperor's hand, so she dared to act so recklessly."

Wei Liuming was also very helpless, originally thinking that after enduring these days, she would be able to stay away from Princess Wen Ke after completing the task, and the injuries she usually suffered were in invisible places, but she was slapped today, so she was exposed.

Wei Xiyue asked Wei Liuming to endure for a few days and figure out a way by herself, "Since Princess Wen Ke is the emperor's palm treasure, then you naturally can't have any opinions on her, bear with me first, I will find a way to let you out of the palace as soon as possible." ”

"I think Princess Wen Ke seems to have done it on purpose, although she didn't treat me well before, she wouldn't have beaten me, I don't know if she was instigated by someone to do it, and she would shoot at me in the end."

Although Princess Wen Ke is notoriously stinky, but she obeys the emperor's orders, the emperor asks her to learn riding, and will not do it because she is not convinced by her own teaching, Wei Liuming suspects that someone in the palace instructed Princess Wen Ke.

Wei Xiyue took the initiative to ask Huo Lingxiao to meet, and it just so happened that Huo Zeshen was also on the side, and he wanted to come with him, Huo Lingxiao really couldn't get rid of this dog skin plaster, so he had to go to the appointment with Huo Zeshen.

In the VIP private room of Xian Mei Pavilion, Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao sat opposite each other, and Huo Zeshen poured wine for the two of them in the middle.

Wei Xiyue asked Princess Wen Ke about her temperament and way of doing things.

Huo Lingxiao said: "Wen Ke is arrogant and willful, but he is very favored by the emperor, and his biological mother is just a beauty, but because he was born with a rui appearance, he will be favored lawless." ”

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask Wen Ke, a little troublemaker? Huo Zeshen was puzzled, Wei Xiyue hadn't seen Princess Wen Ke, how could she inquire about her?

"Liu Ming taught the princesses riding skills in the palace, but this Princess Wen Ke has a lot of things, and she also injured Liu Ming, so I came to inquire with you." Wei Xiyue picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The hot wine smoothed from her throat to her stomach, and a burst of warmth helped Wei Xiyue drive away a little chill.

"But Liu Ming told me that the reason why Princess Wen Ke deliberately targeted her was because someone was instigating her behind her back, and I want to find out if someone deliberately instructed her."

Wei Xiyue asked Huo Lingxiao to investigate whether there was someone behind it, and Huo Lingxiao agreed without hesitation, she could do something for Wei Xiyue, so that she owed a favor.

Huo Zeshen heard that Wei Liuming was beaten by Princess Wen Ke, and apologized to Wei Xiyue, saying that he did not protect her well.

"What? Wen Ke actually beat Liu Ming? It's all because I've been too busy lately, and I haven't taken much care of her. Huo Zeshen blamed himself for failing to complete the task assigned to him by Wei Xiyue.

Wei Xiyue comforted: "I don't blame you for this, you can take care of Liu Ming for a while, but you can't stare at her all the time, as long as you investigate the instigator behind it, you can know who is so targeted." ”

Huo Zeshen was still sullen and drank a lot of wine, Huo Lingxiao asked Huo Zeshen to take Huo Zeshen to another box to rest in the name of Huo Zeshen's drunkenness.

Then asked Wei Xiyue what she thought about this matter, "I guess you should already have the object of suspicion in your heart, and you asked me just to help you confirm this idea, right?" ”

"The third prince is really smart." Wei Xiyue's eyebrows were lightly raised, and her fingertips drew circles on the table roundly.

"Why do you doubt the crown prince and not Huo Zeyu?" Huo Lingxiao was curious, according to the situation of grievances and grievances, it should also come from Concubine Wei.

The prince can't beat the eight poles, how can he deliberately instigate Princess Wen Ke to make things difficult for Wei Liuming?

"It's very simple, Huo Zeyu was exploited by the emperor for his official position, and he only thought about how to restore the throne, and he didn't have this kind of mind to deal with Liu Ming at all, then only the prince would be left, as for the real purpose, this requires you to go out." Wei Xiyue said methodically.

Huo Lingxiao agreed and said that the prince had wooed him, "Elimination law? The prince had intended to win over me, a sick man. ”

Huo Lingxiao poured himself another glass of wine, holding a jade wrench in his hand, his face was a little pale.

Wei Xiyue was puzzled, wondering what Huo Lingxiao was about to treat the olive branch thrown by the prince.

"So, you're going to side with the prince?"

"Stand, of course you have to stand, stand on the same team, and in the end only I am left, isn't it good?"

Huo Lingxiao made no secret of his ambitions, he would get rid of the crown prince and his henchmen.

At this time, Huo Zeshen staggered in and complained, "Third brother, you are too unjust, I'm not drunk!" ”

Huo Zeshen returned to his place and sat down, supported his chin with both hands, and continued: "I met the fourth brother at the door just now. ”

"Oh? Huo Zeyu was not busy resuming his official position, and ran to the Xianmei Pavilion to have fun, for fear that Concubine Yao would be angry if she found out. Wei Xiyue said.

As soon as Huo Lingxiao hit the fan, the shopkeeper came in, Huo Lingxiao asked him to go out to inquire why Huo Zeyu also appeared in Xian Mei Pavilion, and then learned that Wei Feiyue was also present.

"Tsk, it seems that my fourth brother, who is not angry, has fallen in the gentle township." Huo Lingxiao was next to Wei Xiyue and spat hot air in her ear.

Wei Xiyue's ears turned red as soon as she brushed them, and her neck was also red, Huo Lingxiao saw this and said, "You are so cute!" ”

Wei Xiyue raised her foot, kicked Huo Lingxiao to the ground, and looked at Huo Lingxiao with a frown.

Huo Zeshen laughed at the prince for being cuckolded, "Isn't the prince a cuckold?" ”

"I don't know who brought the green hat to whom." Wei Xiyue glared at Huo Lingxiao and said.
