Seeing that Lu Tianlin didn't speak, but just sighed heavily, although Lu Tianjiao's eyes were staring at him motionlessly, his heart had already become numb, and after staring for a long time, he said, "It's not okay?" ”

Lu Tianlin thought about it again, but it seemed that there was still something very puzzled.

Not far from the gazebo, the bustling and lively people are still in high spirits. But these two siblings were the only ones standing together and looking at each other.

Under the moonlight, the two grew up together and could not be more familiar with each other, but at this moment, it seemed that such a strange figure was dragged infinitely.

After a while, Lu Tianlin hesitated, and suddenly exploded, "Sister, you... You don't know the masters in the palace very well, do you? ”

When Lu Tianjiao heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled, and it seemed that even his heartbeat stopped in an instant. At first, he was stunned by Lu Tianlin's eyes, and then quickly dodged his gaze.

He turned sideways again, pretending to be a little inexplicable, and said angrily to him, "Me? What does my brother mean by this? Since childhood, my sister has never entered the palace. The emperor summoned him, and his brother always accompanied his father into the palace to face the saint, when did my sister ever see those people in the palace? Speaking of people, I don't even know where the door of the palace opens? ”

Lu Tianlin listened indifferently and said disapprerovingly, "But when you were young, you were deeply loved by the concubine, and you often accompanied her, didn't you often enter the palace with the concubine?" Haven't you ever met some people in the palace? ”

Lu Tianjiao looked innocent, and said hurriedly, "Brother, it's been eight years since the concubine died, and my sister was only a few years old at that time, doesn't my brother know?" Childhood memories, who can remember? ”

Hearing this, Lu Tianlin seemed to have no choice but to shut down, sighed helplessly, and shook his head.

"Brother, what happened?" After a long time, Lu Tianjiao once again came to Lu Tianlin, who seemed to be at a loss, and asked softly.

Lu Tianlin was still silent with a serious face, as if he hadn't heard what Lu Tianjiao said at all, and only cared about his deep thoughts.

He stood upright on the railing of the gazebo with one hand, watching in amazement as a group of red carp swam freely in the light of the night. Until one of the fish, who was quite happy, suddenly jumped high on the surface, and then fell back into the water, and then caused a ripple to break the whole calm water.

Lu Tianlin seemed to come back to his senses and said, "The restoration of the guardian's portrait has been completed. ”

Hearing this, Lu Tianjiao was suddenly surprised and happy in his heart, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly stretched out his hands to hug Lu Tianlin's arm tightly, leaned on it, and said happily, "'The emperor lives up to his hard work', great, it's really good, so many years of hard work have not been in vain, my father has done it, my father has finally done it." ”

Suddenly, she slowly let go of her hand, the joy on her face gradually dissipated, she stood up, raised her head to look at Lu Tianlin's sad face, and asked puzzledly, "Since the restoration of the guardian portrait has been successful, what is my brother worried about?" ”

Lu Tianlin sighed lightly on his back, and said quietly, "Sister."

My sister should know that my Lu family is deeply favored by His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the concubine. If it weren't for the concubine, I am afraid that you and my brother and sister would never have the possibility of coming to this world. If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Qin, my father would have been killed by traitors long ago, and he would have been beheaded all over the house. Emperor Jing is tyrannical, mediocre and suspicious, while King Qin is kind-hearted, righteous and awe-inspiring, and loves the people like a son. ”

Lu Tianjiao nodded at what Lu Tianlin said, in order to show affirmation, Lu Tianlin looked at Lu Tianjiao's eyes, and continued to say seriously, "The portrait of the guardian has finally been successfully repaired, such a major matter, naturally His Royal Highness the King of Qin should be notified as soon as possible, and then His Royal Highness will decide how to deal with this matter." But one night a few days ago, as soon as my father and I had completed the restoration of the portrait of the guardian, someone from the palace from thousands of miles away personally passed the emperor's decree, announcing that my father and I would immediately enter the palace with the portrait of the guardian and not stay for a moment. Obviously, someone must have leaked the news in advance. And this matter, in the entire Xiqin Academy, there are only you, my brother and sister and my father, and no one else knows about it! ”

"So, my brother suspects that my sister did it?" Lu Tianjiao suddenly realized.

"Sister ......"

Before Lu Tianlin could say the rest of the words, Lu Tianjiao hurriedly raised his voice to interrupt him, "Brother, sister is in your heart, is it so unbearable?" My sister's loyalty and devotion to His Highness are no less than half a point of you and your father. Others don't know this, doesn't my brother know either? ”

"Sister......" Lu Tianlin seemed to have anticipated the suspicion in his heart and the inappropriateness between his words, but even if he was cautious, he still stabbed the heart of this rather sensitive sister again. But he still tried to explain something to him at the moment, so as to make amends and comfort him.

I don't want Lu Tianjiao to suddenly step back step by step, and he covered his ears and shook his head, as if he was angry in disbelief to stop him, "Don't say it, don't say it, I know, you don't believe me, my father doesn't believe me, everyone doesn't believe me, Your Highness also ...... In this world, all the people don't believe in me, so what am I still alive for? I hate you, I hate you, I never want to see you again! ”

Lu Tianjiao roared hoarsely and angrily, while wiping his tears and running down the stone steps of the pavilion, and then ran towards a quiet path, and disappeared in a flash.

"Tianjiao, Tianjiao......" Lu Tianlin looked panicked, looked up at the sky, and chased after his back in stride.

The fire trees and silver flowers will eventually disperse, and only the sun and the moon will last forever.

On the fifth watch of the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky has not yet dawned, but the street market, which has been boiling for most of the night, has finally slowly returned to quiet.

In front of the gate of the Yifu in the west of the city, the carriage of the head of the family who entered the palace began to slowly drive towards the palace on time as usual.

Dressed in a navy blue dark pattern new clothes, he was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt that his right eyelid kept beating, and he seemed to be worried, and he couldn't help it

He muttered to himself, "God bless, but don't let anything happen!" ”

When the carriage drove to the front of the Zhao Ji Teahouse at the corner of the street, suddenly, a carriage that seemed to be somewhat familiar came on, and its speed was so fast that when it reached the blind spot of the corner, it didn't know how to slow down by half a minute. If it weren't for the fact that the carriage with the clothes had just started, and the old slave driving the car had just started and the old slave who was driving the reins in time, I am afraid that the two carriages would have collided together like this, and it would not be as simple as a person turning over on his back.

Yi Shangkun sat in the carriage, as if he was suddenly frightened and sobered up, his eyes widened, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and then he reached out angrily and opened the curtain of the car door, and the anger in his chest was about to attack, but he heard the old slave driving in front of him say respectfully, "The young master is back!" ”

Hearing this, Yi Shangkun also exclaimed, "Is it Jun'er?" ”

Before he could lift the curtain, Yi Shangjun had already jumped out of the carriage and strode to Yi Shangkun's car, saluted him and said urgently, "Father, something is wrong!" ”

As soon as Yi Shangkun showed his face, he looked at the gray-haired Yi Shangjun with a tired face, and there was nothing else in the car except for him and the little guy who was driving, it was empty, and he couldn't help but have a very bad premonition in his heart.

Stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked anxiously, "What happened?" You... Could it be that you came back from an overnight trip? What about Yan'er? Why didn't Yan'er come back with you? And Yun'er? Where's your eldest sister? ”

Unexpectedly, Yi Shangjun suddenly knelt down with a thud. Seeing this, the clothes on the Kun suddenly felt frightened, the sky was dark, his eyes were full of stars, trembling and trembling under the support of the old slave who drove the car, looked at him in surprise, and asked tremblingly, "What happened?" Say it quickly! ”

Yi Shangjun's face was full of panic and anxiety, and he lowered his head and said to Yi Shangkun, "Father, eldest sister, she... She was galloping in the wind, and it was raining on a rainy night... Falling off a cliff, life and death unknown, missing! ”

"What did you say?" When the clothes were heard this, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and the old and thin old slave did not hold him, almost making him sit on the ground.

"Father, father......" Yishangjun quickly reached out to catch it and picked it up in time, which made it not land on the ground.

Yi Shangkun only felt that the vision in front of him was getting more and more blurred, so he let Yi Shangjun stand in front of the Zhao Ji Teahouse next to him, and took out a long wooden bench that was put away on his stall, and let him sit down without realizing it.

He just put one hand on his forehead, and his elbow was propped up on the table in front of him, as if the sky was about to fall. After a long time, Fang lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "This... What's going on? ”

Hearing this, Yi Shangjun reported the search for people in the south of the city to him word for word.

"The old man knows that she shouldn't be involved with that King Qin, it's good now, something big finally happened!" After listening to Yi Shangjun's words, he was silent for a while, and Yi Shangkun seemed to have a fire in his belly, and said angrily.

However, Yishang Jun defended it hesitantly, saying, "Father, this matter... It seems that it can't be relied on by His Royal Highness King Qin. His Royal Highness the King of Qin

It was also to save the eldest sister that he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. ”

Yi Shangkun pondered for a moment, put down his hand, and said to himself with a cold snort, "Is all this really the will of heaven, and we can't hide from it in the dark." The benefactor was right, she shouldn't have been close to entangled with those people in the royal family, they would only bring disaster to Yun'er...... God, she has already paid the biggest price in a woman's life for this, are you still unwilling to let her go? ”

Hearing this, Yi Shangjun was very puzzled, "Father, what are you talking about?" What 'pay the greatest price in a woman's life', eldest sister she... What the hell happened to her? ”
