It was getting dark.

Xie Yanhe was escorted out of the palace gate by Feng Ying. Before stepping into the carriage, Xie Yan and Yao Yao glanced back......

The resplendent palace is bathed in the last rays of sunlight between heaven and earth. The lights of each palace are lit one after another, like a winding fire dragon.

As if with a "pop-" sound, the daylight was holographic, and the whole world escaped into darkness, only the place where the lights were brilliant, the brilliance was distracting, like a behemoth opening its eyes in the dark night, looking down on the world from afar.

Xie Yanhe's body felt a chill, and his slender jade fingers gently pressed the wind buckle on the Tianshui blue gauze cloak, and with the support of the maid, he boarded the carriage.

The royal blue four-in-one ruyi pattern curtain falls slowly, blocking the outside world. Xie Yanhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the silver-gilt enamel smoker on the table, she was silent for a while.

……

In the middle of the night, the sound of rain was heard outside the window. Xie Yanhe had been sleeping deeply, and when she heard the sound of rain, she immediately got up.

When Mama Gong heard the movement, she hurriedly came over from the blue gauze cupboard, she walked to Xie Yanhe's bed in a few steps, and lifted the gauze tent with her fingers: "County Lord, are you awake?" ”

"Mama, what time is it?" Xie Yanhe's voice had a hint of hoarseness that he had just woken up, sounding lazy and coquettish.

"County Lord, it's only been the fifth watch, can you sleep for a while?" Mama Gong poured a cup of warm water and served Xie Yanhe and drank it slowly.

Xie Yanhe drank the water in one go, and his tone was a little sad: "I just dreamed of my mother's mother." ”

Mama Gong's heart was sour, and she hurriedly held back her tears, and said in a loving tone: "You are thinking about it day and dreaming at night." Madame in the Spirit of Heaven must wish you a happy and happy day. ”

Xie Yanhe silently lowered his eyes.

Xie Yanhe originally resented his mother in his heart, and resented his mother for leaving her alone instead of taking her with him. The elder brother has married and has a wife who loves each other, but she only has a mother.

As a result, she lost her father and mother overnight......

After sending off his father and mother, Xie Yanhe was taken into the palace by Emperor Jianyuan.

At first, she did not eat or drink for three days, and only wept silently. It was Emperor Jianyuan who left behind his complicated official duties and guarded her all day and night...... Until Xie Yanhe smiled again.

Later, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace bullied her for being an orphan girl with no father and mother, and dared to talk about her father and mother in front of her.

After Emperor Jianyuan learned about it, he killed all the palace people who were disrespectful to her, and even the relatives of these palace people outside the palace were not spared. Since then, everyone in the palace has understood the direction of the wind, this young lady of the Xie family is the top of His Majesty's heart, and no one can touch her eyes.

Until...... She was canonized as the crown princess by Emperor Jianyuan, with flowers and brocade, cooking oil in the fire, and became the most noble woman in the palace.

Even today, Xie Yanhe must admit that Emperor Jianyuan has no thoughts about her, no matter when he has thoughts that he shouldn't have, he has the grace of reinvention for himself.

Xie Yanhe's lips couldn't help but overflow with a wistful sigh.

Grace and hatred, love and resentment, mixed in it, can no longer distinguish between right and wrong!

Xie Yan and Youyou said, "Mama, do you know? I used to hate my mother so much, I hated her for being weak! There is no woman in the world without a husband, and she is not alone. But she is the only one who chooses to die for her husband, but she leaves behind her children and has no responsibility as a mother. ”

"County Lord......" Mama Gong was shocked, she didn't expect the county lord to think like this in her heart, she was shocked and heartbroken.

"County Lord, madam, she doesn't love you. Just ......"

"Mama, you don't need to say it, I understand." Xie Yanhe curled his lips, "I probably understand now, my mother is like a wild goose in the sky, and she can't live alone without her father." ”

"County lord......" Mama Gong wanted to speak and stopped. However, after seeing Xie Yanhe's extremely transparent eyes, there was nostalgia, melancholy, and sighs in those beautiful eyes, but there was no resentment. Mama Gong swallowed the words that were held in her throat.

Since the county lord has already seen it, why let her know what dusty old things will only increase her resentment.

"County Lord, you've grown up." In the end, Mama Gong's thousands of pity and heartache turned into a sigh of relief and amazement.

Xie Yanhe bent his eyes. She also wants to be a delicate child in her parents' arms, but God doesn't give her such a chance.

Her initial hatred faded day by day in time; Over time, it turned into a thick longing, and in the end, she was sealed in a certain corner of her heart, dreamed back at midnight, and turned into wet marks on the pillow.

"Mama, you let Tianxing come to see me now." Xie Yanhe retracted her chaotic thoughts, she couldn't sleep at this time, she was full of worries, and she urgently needed an answer.

"County Lord, it's too eye-catching to let Tianxing come over at this time. In case it alarms the Guogong Mansion......" Mama Gong couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

"It's good at this time." Xie Yan and Yanhong's lips were curled, and the small, moist lips were bright and dripping.

"I sued my grandmother yesterday in front of Your Majesty. With the temperament of the grandmother, this should be the result. ”

Xie Yanhe admitted that she did it on purpose yesterday. deliberately exposed the irreconcilable contradictions between her and the eldest princess in front of Emperor Jianyuan in front of Emperor Jianyuan, and also strengthened Emperor Jianyuan's determination to take action against the eldest princess.

Although the eldest princess of peace is the grandmother of Xie Yan and her in-laws, from the moment the eldest princess killed her, Xie Yanhe had already regarded the eldest princess as his enemy. Treating the enemy, why did she still whitewash the peace, just for filial piety and reputation?

She Xie Yanhe has never been a pedantic person!

"County Lord, it's good if you're sure." Mama Gong bent her knees towards Xie Yanhe, turned around and walked out of the inner room.

Xie Yanhe looked at the flickering red candles in the house, and his eyes gradually became stained with a trace of sadness. She hoped that her guess was wrong.

After a stick of incense, Mama Gong led in a slender and slender figure.

The woman's whole body was covered in a cyan cloak, as if she was stepping on dew.

Seeing the girl sitting on the bed, the woman knelt silently on the ground: "The slave and maid see the county lord." ”

"Get up." Xie Yanhe raised his hand towards the woman on the ground.

"Tian Xing, you've been in the Guogong Mansion for ten years, right?" Xie Yanhe had a seemingly chatty tone.

"Back to the county master, the slave maid stayed in the Guogong Mansion for a total of ten years, three months and seven days." Tian Xing replied respectfully.

Xie Yanhe lifted her eyelashes lightly, a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes were as bright as the morning star, and she asked lightly, "Did the Guogong Mansion make any moves last night?" ”

Tian Xing is the maid who waits for pen and ink in Xie Guogong's study, and is deeply trusted and favored by Grandpa Xie Jin, and any bit of wind and grass in Guogong's mansion cannot hide from her eyes.

"Back to the words of the county lord. Yesterday, the Pang family order from the palace of the eldest princess of peace came. The slave and maid were serving in the study. ”

When Tianxing said this, her tone paused slightly, and she saw that the county lord of Yonghe did not interrupt herself, so she continued: "The Pang family ordered that no one should be left in the house, and the slave had to retreat. But the slave and maid practiced their ear power and faintly heard a few words: Shizi, ancestral house, Dali Temple. ”

"You're doing a good job." Xie Yanhe's eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly understood the eldest princess's plan. Is this to send the lobby brother's family back to Langya?

Under the nest, there are eggs. If the eldest uncle was really implicated in the rebellion case, the grandmother's approach would be too naïve.

"County Lord, could it be that Xie Guogong is really the murderer who killed the first marquis?" Seeing that the speculation in her heart had become a fact, Mama Gong trembled with anger, and she refused to even call the old man.

"Mama, we'll talk about this later." Xie Yanhe looked at the woman standing quietly in the room, and her beautiful eyebrows showed a hint of appreciation.

"Tianxing, don't worry, my brother's future will be arranged. Tomorrow, I will arrange for your family to redeem you......"

"Slave and maid, thank you county lord." Tian Xing's brother who was most concerned about her heart was settled, she couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and made a big gift to Xie Yanhe very gratefully.

"As for the slaves...... The county master, the slave and maid know too many secrets of the grandfather of the country, and the grandfather of the country will never let the slave and maid out of the house! ”

Although Tian Xing had already anticipated her end, her face was very calm.

"The slave maid has a pill here, which was given by the first lady. After the slave served, it only took half an hour for the angina to break out...... Even the most brilliant doctor in the world could not find out the cause of the slave's death. ”

After Tianxing finished speaking, she silently kowtowed to Xie Yanhe: "Mrs. Xian saved the slave's family and is the benefactor of the slave and maid." It's a pity that the slave maid can no longer serve the county lord......"

"Tianxing, I said that I would let your relatives ransom you out of the house. Whatever I promised, I will do. Xie Yanhe looked at the woman on the ground who was bent on dying generously, and his expression was calm.

Sweet apricot was a dark chess piece that her mother put on her uncle's mansion back then. Although Xie Yanhe didn't know why her mother made such a decision back then, she trusted her mother's arrangement very much.

After her mother left, Tianxing still remained unchanged for ten years and was loyal to her mother. Such a loyal servant, how could Xie Yanhe let her die in vain!

"County master, the slave and maid have a cheap life, and you will not hesitate to do so, please don't startle the snake for the slave and maid."

Tian Xing has been by Xie Guogong's side for many years, and she knows better than Xie Guogong's pillow person Cui Shi what kind of hypocrite Xie Jin is.

A person like Xie Jin looks like a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he is timid, greedy, and life-saving, and the slightest disturbance outside may make him like a rat and shrink into the hole.

For the sake of his own life, so Xie Jin was suspicious, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"Sweet apricots. In my place, there has never been a person who lives cheaply, only whether he should live or not. Xie Yanhe waved his hand, "You do what I arranged, so that you won't startle the snake." ”

Tian Xing bit her lip, and a look of struggle flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Mama Gong hurriedly stepped forward and made Tian Xing greedy: "Tian Xing girl, the old slave knows that you are loyal." But those of us who are slaves and maids, let the master live, we can't die easily, sweet apricot girl, do you understand? ”

This girl has a tendonous temperament. Mama Gong knew that it didn't make sense to reason with her, so she could only coax and coax her.

Seeing that Mama Gong said this, Tian Xing didn't dare to go down again, she got up from the ground silently, and asked Xie Yanhe very respectfully: "The slave knows her mistake, please calm the anger of the county lord." ”

Seeing this, Mama Gong suddenly felt a sigh in her heart: Xie Jin loves this maid so much, probably because he is suspicious by nature and doesn't like too smart women.

I have to say that Mrs. Xian's eyes are like torches, so she can prescribe the right medicine, and she can stop Xie Jin's pulse at once.

When Tian Xing left the inner room, the footsteps faded away.

Xie Yanhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she said with a little melancholy: "I don't know where my mother dug up this baby that day, I was almost angry with her for admitting death like this." Or Mama, you have a way. ”

When Xie Yanhe said this, he laughed lightly, and said with a sneering look in his eyes: "It's really embarrassing for my eldest uncle to look at such a girl differently." ”

Mama Gong pursed her lips and smiled: "County Lord, you yourself are extremely smart, so you also like to use smart girls." A stupid person like Tianxing can only be a little maid who sprinkles and sweeps in your yard. But an unbearable person like Xie Jin doesn't like stupid girls? ”

When Mama Gong said this, Xie Yanhe's heavy mood couldn't help but relax a little, and she sighed with a smile: "In Mama's eyes, it's always good." ”
