Huo Lingxiao faced out the window, stood with his hands in his hands, and did not look at Wei Xiyue.

"Xiyue, look at this huge imperial city, there are countless news coming in and out every day, countless people are camping and dogs, and countless people are camping, just to be able to break free from this crowd, so as to better chase the little sweetness left by the royal family."

Wei Xiyue was a little puzzled for a while, not knowing why Huo Lingxiao was so solemn. But Huo Lingxiao said this, she didn't know much about it.

Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and the nightmarish day appeared in front of her eyes again, the woman's arrogant laughter and a terrible scream intertwined in her mind, and the ground was a sea of stump blood, which was... This is!

She shook her head violently, banishing the filmable scene from her mind. The words echoed to.

"What His Royal Highness said, Xiyue still has some understanding, but why did His Highness suddenly say this?"

Huo Lingxiao motioned for Wei Xiyue to step forward, clinging to a corner of the courtyard and making her look at it.

She should look at the outing, and the internal strength is slightly running, staring at the internal force in her eyes and fixing her eyes.

On the camphor tree, there is a nest of chicks waiting to be fed, and the mother bird flies up and down, putting all the food caught into the mouth of the chicks, seeing such a warm scene, the corners of her mouth unconsciously pouted with a smile.

Huo Lingxiao saw that she was fascinated, and as soon as he whistled, a fierce Haidongqing suddenly came, aiming at the nestling in the tree, and a fierce son stabbed down.

"Ahh

When the mother bird saw Hai Dongqing flying, she did not dodge, but bravely greeted it, and tried her best to protect her nest of children.

It's just that the ornamental birds were defeated by Hai Dongqing after all, not only the mother bird was defeated and swallowed by Hai Dongqing, but the nest of fluffy birds was not spared.

Wei Xiyue's chest rose and fell violently, she turned her head and glared at Huo Lingxiao, asking him to tell him what this meant.

Seeing that Wei Xiyue was still confused and full of anger, Huo Lingxiao couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He spoke slowly: "In this natural world, natural selection, the survival of the fittest, and the elimination of the unsuitable, just like this nest of birds, even if the mother bird protects her, because it is too weak, it will be difficult to escape death after all." ”

He looked back at Wei Xiyue and saw a look of thought on her face, and then said: "Let's talk about the mother bird, it is eager to protect her son, but there is a huge disparity in strength, and its resistance is just like a mayfly shaking a tree in front of Hai Dongqing, just a clown who jumps off the beam and struggles powerlessly." ”

"Xiyue, can you see it?"

Wei Xiyue didn't say a word, still thinking about the tragic scene just now, Huo Lingxiao saw this, sighed, stepped forward and grabbed Wei Xiyue's arm, and broke her towards him.

"Xiyue, Xiyue, you can't protect Qinghe for a lifetime. Besides, heaven, earth, king, parent, teacher, which hat is buttoned down, you are powerless to resist. You were killed in the palace and couldn't defend yourself, Qinghe was slandered by the old lady in the house, didn't this make you sober up! ”

Huo Lingxiao asked sharply, in order to make Wei Xiyue understand the current situation, there is a treacherous turmoil in this imperial city, and he can't protect Wei Xiyue from time to time after all, he just wants her to understand her hard work.

Wei Xiyue came back to her senses and said powerlessly: "But... But Qinghe is still only the horn, he is still just a child, it is good to have me, why dirty his hands......"

Wei Xiyue's voice gradually lowered, Huo Lingxiao saw that she still didn't understand it, and knew in his heart that this was just out of love for his younger brother.

He sighed: "Xiyue, I don't know if you have noticed that you are very different from you who just returned to Beijing. At that time, you were quick and high-spirited, and there was always a high-spirited spirit lingering in your body, and now you ......" He sighed heavily.

Myself... Has it really changed so much? Wei Xiyue's heart was at a loss, and her heart unconsciously turned to what Huo Lingxiao had just said.

Seeing this, Huo Lingxiao sighed again, turned around and left, leaving only Wei Xiyue thinking quietly by the window

Since Huo Lingxiao's visit in the early morning, Wei Xiyue's words have always lingered in her heart.

At breakfast, Wei Xiyue looked at the lively young brother, who was happily discussing the practice of martial arts with her mother, and the tragic death of the nest of chicks in the early morning appeared in front of her, she was trembling and her expression was condensed.

"Sister Yue'er, what's wrong today?" Seeing that Wei Xiyue looked sullen early in the morning, Liu Shi opened his mouth and said with concern.

"Mother... I'm fine, I'm... I'm going to the Chengbei Book House today, just... I won't come back for lunch. Wei Xiyue's eyes flickered, avoiding her mother's care, and she just wanted to escape from this room of harmony.

Seeing that her daughter was absent-minded, Liu sighed and told her daughter not to forget that the exam was imminent, and she must review well and show her prestige.

"Mother, my daughter knows, this is an important thing, and my daughter will never forget it." Her eyes drifted to Liu's place, and she was stabbed by the coquettishness on her younger brother's face, she avoided her gaze, wiped her mouth and hurried away.

After leaving the house, Wei Xiyue walked aimlessly on the street, and when she saw a teahouse on the street, she walked in, thinking about taking a break.

As soon as he walked into the teahouse, he was stopped by a small man.

"Miss Wei stays, my son-in-law is invited, I wonder if Miss Wei can enjoy her face and taste tea with my son-in-law?"

Wei Xiyue said strangely in her heart, she didn't often show up in Beijing, and she didn't know who his son-in-law was, but she recognized herself.

There was simply nothing to do, so Wei Xiyue walked up to the elegant room on the third floor through the little guy.

As soon as she pushed the door open, Wei Xiyue burst out laughing. The person in the elegant room was originally Huo Lingshen, the eleventh prince.

"Your Highness is doing these demons again" Wei Xiyue laughed and said, thinking that today was not a day off, Huo Lingshen should have studied in the palace, she said curiously: "Isn't Your Highness supposed to listen to the Taifu's lecture in the palace today, how can you appear here, isn't the Third Highness not punished hard enough last time?" ”

She glanced at Huo Lingshen and quietly stepped on Huo Lingshen's sore foot, and sure enough, Huo Lingshen immediately retorted: "It's not!" Taifu asked for leave today, so I didn't pretend to be sick and skip school. ”

Seeing that Huo Lingshen didn't admit herself, the smile on her lips deepened, and she said lightly, "Huh?" Huo Lingshen was even more anxious.

"If it weren't for the performance held by Tianxianglou outside the city today, I heard that the world's most glamorous Oiran Muzi would also appear, I... I'm not going to do that! ”

Listening to Huo Lingshen's inward-looking confession, Wei Xiyue even smiled and bent over.

"Xiyue, you go with me, the third brother will not punish me when he sees you!"

Huo Lingshen's mind turned, and he thought of this crooked idea in a blink of an eye.

Hearing the name of the third prince, the smile on Wei Xiyue's lips froze, and she couldn't resist Huo Lingshen's repeated invitations, and even pulled her sleeve and began to be coquettish, Wei Xiyue had no choice but to agree to him.

The two got into the carriage and drove out of the city together. Along the way, Wei Xiyue listened to Huo Lingshen's rumors about the Oiran excitedly, she was powerless to support her forehead, and she had no choice but to deal with Huo Lingshen.

When he came to the outskirts of the city, the stage had already been set up, and the surroundings were crowded one after another, so that there was not even a little space left, Huo Lingshen also untied his waist card when he saw this, and ordered the little servant to come to a private room like the principal.

After a while, the little guy came helplessly, and there seemed to be embarrassment on his face.

"Eleventh Master, the principal does not have a private room here, only a high platform like that." The little guy pointed to the platform in the distance, Huo Lingshen couldn't, so he had to take Wei Xiyue to the high platform.

The performance soon began, among the flying flowers in the sky, on the round platform in the middle, more than a dozen women in red clothes danced softly, and the sound of the pipa was as crisp as a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate.

Suddenly, there was a sound of pipa, and countless soft red sorrels flew down from higher places on the high platform, and for a time the world was ambiguous and hazy.

The sound of the pipa recalled, like a silver bottle bursting, and the iron horse protruding. A black figure slowly descended from the sky. The black skirt spreads like a dahlia blooming with evil spirits, luring people into the abyss of sin.

The spectators were stunned for a moment, and watched the woman in black fall on the high platform.

She writhed her delicate body nimbly, turning the white circle from left to right, and the people below erupted in applause. The woman twisted towards Huo Lingshen and casually picked up a wine bottle on the table next to her.

"Your Highness Eleven, the slave family is very happy in their hearts, and they have come to salute His Highness for a cup."

How did this woman know Huo Lingshen's identity, Wei Xiyue was vigilant, took a step forward, and was about to say something, but the woman flew over, threw a soft sword from her sleeve, and flew straight towards Huo Lingshen's heart.

"Your Highness!" Wei Xiyue was startled, and pushed Huo Lingshen to the side suddenly, about to block in front of Huo Lingshen, who had thought that he was still a step slower, and the soft sword still pierced Huo Lingshen's arm.

There was an uproar on the high platform, everyone was scattered as birds and beasts, and for a while, people pushed everyone and crowded people, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

The women who had just performed on the round platform also flew forward, and Wei Xiyue protected Huo Lingshen while paying attention to the entanglement of acquaintances.

She took Huo Lingshen to retreat to the corner step by step, and wanted to run away, but she was outnumbered, not only could she not leave with Huo Lingshen, but she also weighed several swords.

Seeing that group of women approaching step by step, slowly closing the circle, Wei Xiyue was desperate, did she have to explain this today?

As soon as it was too late, a group of black-clad guards rushed in from the staircase, training to subdue the women one by one.

Seeing that the guards finally arrived, Wei Xiyue's heart was relieved, and she fainted in front of her, and Huo Lingshen behind her hurriedly picked up Wei Xiyue, thinking about the leader of the guards and walking.

After the women and the Oiran were subdued, they all foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground in a short time.

A black-armored guard stepped forward to take a look, then turned around and said, "If you swallow the medicine, you will be killed immediately, and you can't save it." ”

The leader nodded thoughtfully and wrote down what the guard had said.

The black-armored guards were divided into two teams, one team stayed here to interrogate the person in charge, and the other team escorted Huo Lingshen and Wei Xiyue back to the mansion in a hurry.

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!" When he returned to the mansion and ordered the doctor in the mansion to settle Wei Xiyue, he came to the courtyard and severely reprimanded the dereliction of duty of the black-armored guards.
