"Zhuzhu'er, have you ever thought about it. The Xie family's extermination case and the Cui family's withering were all done by one person. ”

"There is only one person who can not be condemned by the world after doing these things."

"Say, 'Who must this man be?'

The woman in the purple dress looked at the girl with a smile, approaching step by step, revealing the bloody truth in front of her.

"It can make the king of Nan'an not ask about the world, let the Marquis of Zhaocheng have no temper, let many families keep their mouths shut, and even let the people believe it is true...... In the whole world, only one person can do it. ”

"Do you want me to be clearer?"

"Auntie."

At first, Duanmu Yuhua could still restrain himself and listen as calmly as possible. However, realizing what Jiang Ruyu was going to say next, she couldn't help but interrupt the woman who was a little crazy at the moment.

Jiang Ruyu only paused, and after a short sigh. It doesn't matter if she can listen to it or not, she will continue to talk to herself.

"Zhuzhu'er, no one knows how to do it and how to befriend him better than you. Except for the Jiang family's life-saving grace to him a few years ago, he and we already have a common enemy. ”

In fact, it was not the Jiang family who saved his life, but Lu Xingyun.

Lu Xingyun's only bone and blood, Duanmu Xihua, who has almost the same appearance as him. When she appeared in front of Cui Kongling, he would understand everything.

In order to lay out this game, she waited for more than ten years.

"Auntie, do you know who you just identified?"

Jiang Ruyu picked up the teacup, lowered her head and took a sip, her tone was plain, and she was not surprised.

"The emperor of Beixiang, Duanmu Qingjia."

"Auntie."

"You can not believe me, but what if Marquis Zhaocheng tells you the same thing. I can lie to you, but I can't control him. Cui Kongling has always been unrestrained, and he has the power of soldiers and horses, so he will not be held hostage by me. ”

"He never had a reason to lie to you."

"Auntie, maybe Your Majesty really led the battle of Jiangcheng and the withering of the Cui family. But in the case of the Xie family's extermination, there is no evidence that he did it. ”

Jiang Ruyu asked her rhetorically.

"And who else will there be?"

Zhu Zhu'er said, who else could it be. Who still has this ability, so that the Xie family has no power to resist, so that other families dare not make a move. ”

She couldn't hold back the smile on her face anymore, and she was a little panicked to make excuses.

"Maybe they're united."

"Perhaps."

Jiang Ruyu took her words gently, but didn't force her anymore. She looked at the obviously moved girl, her purpose had been achieved. The days ahead are still long, so there is no hurry.

You want to know who is most likely to be the murderer, it's simple. What Yuxi Lingyue taught her was to either see who this person was the most threatening to, or who would benefit the most after this person died.

The Xie family has no ambitions, and only holds an insignificant civil official position in the court, and has little power outside, unlike other families - either holding the lifeblood of the country or holding half of the world's wealth......

Such an indisputable family, even if it is ranked first, who will be a threat? Duanmu Yuhua really couldn't think of it.

And after the Xie family is gone, shouldn't the biggest beneficiaries be the Wei family and the Wang family? They became the first in the family. Emperor, what did you get?

It couldn't be sorted out, it was too messy, and she felt that a very important part of the information was missing.

It's getting late, and late autumn is cool. The girl rode a red and brown horse through the streets, and the night wind blew a spirit.

She returned to the palace in a daze, Qingye sensed that something was wrong, handed over a bowl of soothing soup, and she took it. But that night, I really didn't sleep well.

In the dream, over and over again, what Jiang Ruyu said became true, and it was staged in front of him.

The next day, Kiyono stayed outside the door early in the morning and called several times without being answered. She was anxious, thought twice, and pushed the door in.

The girl's clothes hadn't faded, and her kimono was curled up on the bed.

Kiyono called her tentatively.

"County Lord, County Lord."

Duanmu Yuhua rolled over, frowning. She slowly opened her eyes, and the two looked at each other, and Kiyono was stunned - why did her pupils turn black?

The girl's eyes were wet and confused. Looked at her with some confusion, as if asking who she was?

After not hearing an answer for a long time, the man on the bed shook his head uncomfortably, and let out a painful moan, like a wounded little beast.

Only then did Kiyono react, her complexion was too ruddy. Kiyono stretched out his hand and attached it to her forehead, which was hot and hot, it was a high fever.

First of all, Xie Jiusi's words hit her hard, and she didn't close her eyes for a day and a night. Later, I went to find Jiang Ruyu and listened to her tell the so-called truth. Emotions fluctuate and the mind is exhausted.

I haven't eaten well for a few days, and there was a cold wind on the way back. It is this fever that is menacing.

As soon as Kiyono Fu went out, he opened his mouth and shouted and endured it. No, Duanmu Xihua's pupils can't be seen by more people, so as not to give birth to any unwarranted disaster.

She finally went to the king of Nan'an and taught him to guard the girl himself. Duanmu Qinghe sat in front of the bed and wrung a towel and put it on the girl's forehead.

With a solemn face, he untied a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her, his amber eyes were deep and bottomless.

"Don't make a noise, you go to the south of the city. Find a medicine house called Yanyu Fangcao. It must be this family, you give him the jade pendant, if he asks you poetry. ”

"You've got it in mind."

"Go to the poor place of the water, and sit and watch the clouds rise."

"Who is the true person, the sound and appearance are in love."

Lu Xingyun and Xie Yunrong, there is the medical hall they opened together, and it is also the place where the two often meet in secret, carrying many of their good memories.

And he met Xie Yunrong in this hospital. Sometimes Duanmu Qinghe thinks that it is better not to meet the city, and this hatred will last for a long time.

Of the three, none of them could make it. The two of them left one after the other, leaving only him, who had to guard Zhuzhu'er for them.

Kiyono took the jade pendant, mounted his horse, and galloped all the way away.

Duanmu Qinghe's side boiled hot ginger soup and fed it to her little by little. When the towel was hot, he touched the temperature with his fingers and changed it from time to time.

In the middle, there may be times when she is awake, opening her eyes and looking around in confusion, her eyes are empty. His hand paused, and the medicine that maintained the color of his pupils had failed much earlier than expected.

"Cold."

The girl struggled in pain, choked, and sobbed lowly.

She fell into a nightmare of infinity, darkness and drowsiness. The call of different people rang in the ears, sad, joyful, loving, angry......

My mother said, you have to be strong alone. Xie Jiusi said, please forget the past. Yuxi Lingyue said, what is the benefit of life, what is the benefit of death? and Jiang Ruying, who asked her over and over again, why did she harm the Xie family......

Even the emperor Lu Xingyun, who she had never seen and had only heard in her memory and from the mouths of others, had a faint silhouette in her dreams at this moment.

He was dressed in white and couldn't see his face clearly. The tone was very kind, and he called her Zhuzhu'er, which made her feel the urge to cry.

She asked him – what should I do?

Child, you have to think more, you can't see a lot of things with your eyes, you have to experience it with your heart, and the answer will slowly appear.

Let me tell you again, I am only an emperor, and all I teach is the way of the emperor.

You ask what an emperor is, and the power of the emperor is not reflected in destroying the world with a word, but saving the people with a word.

Child, I don't have much time left for you. We are sorry for you, but we still hope that you will be strong.

If love is too persistent and hate is too strong, it will teach people to lose their clarity.

……

His voice grew lower, his shadow faded, and she felt a breeze on her cheeks before it was completely gone.

"No, don't go."

The girl didn't know what she dreamed of, and she couldn't stop trembling, and tears poured out.

"Zhuzhu'er, good boy. Don't be afraid, Daddy is here. ”

King Nan'an's voice was gentle, and his broad palm gently patted the girl's shoulder.

"Lord Wang."

After an hour, Kiyono hurried back. Duanmu Qinghe nodded to her, looked behind her, and did not follow anyone.

"Where's the doctor?"

"The doctor said he couldn't come, but he gave the medicine bag and the prescription, and this."

She handed the delicate and small white porcelain vase to Duanmu Qinghe, and then hurried out after a salute.

"The slave maid will go and boil medicine for the county lord first."

He opened the stopper, and inside was the medicine that Xie Yunrong had brought many years ago to change the color of Duanmu Xihua's pupils.

After a dose of decoction, the flush on the girl's face disappeared instantly, and she slept a lot more peacefully. They had just breathed a sigh of relief, and that night, they were up again.

This high fever lasted until the third day, and it completely subsided.

When Duanmu Yuhua woke up, the crimson glow shone in through the window, and the sunset was infinitely better, but it was just near dusk.

She seemed to have slept for a long, long time, and had a long, long dream.

What I remember most clearly at this moment is that the words of the white-clothed emperor in the dream seem to be true.

Weak and weak, she turned her head slightly, and found the girl sleeping next to her bed, she was very tired. She didn't want to wake Kiyono, and her eyebrows became more and more gentle.

There was a slight sound of the door opening, and the footsteps were inaudible, and the occasional friction was negligible.

She looked over and saw that it was her father. Duanmu Qinghe held a tray in his hand, on which was the freshly boiled medicine, and steaming white smoke.

"Zhuzhu'er, you're awake."

This sentence deliberately lowered the tone, and the girl who was dozing off by the bed still heard the movement and immediately woke up.

"The county lord? Is it better? ”

I don't know how many times I said it, it became a habit, and she subconsciously greeted her like this. However, in the next second, she looked at the girl with a pair of amber eyes full of smiles.

"County Lord, are you awake?"

Kiyono couldn't suppress his joy.

She wanted to open her mouth to respond, but found that her throat was dry and hoarse and she couldn't make a sound, so she had to nod as hard as she could.

In this way, after three more days, she recovered and was able to laugh vividly again. Only his face is still a little pale, and his body is also a lot thinner.

Calculate the time, and in a few days it will be the Wei family's Jiaowei Feast. The king of Nan'an called a few well-known embroiderers in the market and asked her to choose the color she liked, so as to make cloaks and coats.
