It's late at night, and the lights are still bright in Luanfeng Palace.

None of them.

The emperor could not sleep.

Li Xiu had finished bathing, her makeup and hair had been removed, and she was sitting next to Bai Li Xian in a white undershirt, seeing that although he was exhausted, he still couldn't suppress the joy and joy between his eyebrows.

In front of him, it was the birthday gift that Bai Li Ye and Li Tong presented together.

Alas, how much more do you have to look forward to when you receive a gift, so happy?

Li Xiu was distressed for a while, but she didn't speak, just quietly accompanied him.

"Fourth uncle, you really gave me a gift." Baili Xian was so happy that he forgot the emperor's self-title, and he raised his face, his eyes were frighteningly bright.

Seeing that he was happy, Li Xiu also laughed, and wanted to touch his head, but his hand trembled for a long time and finally pressed it down, although the man sitting in front of him was her man, he was still the emperor in charge of the world.

"I look at this jade Ruyi given by Lord Wang, which is also very good." Li Xiu secretly poked and probed: "Lord Li's painting is also good to look at by the concubine, not worse than the general's!" ”

"It's different." Baili Xian couldn't put it down, and he wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it, and emphasized it again: "It's different." ”

"How is it different?"

"Master Li bought it from someone else, and the fourth uncle wrote it himself."

"What if this painting was written by Master Li?"

Baili Xian pursed his lips and didn't make a sound.

Li Xiu smiled again, and pointed to the set of pens next to her with her green fingers: "This is also made by the fourth aunt herself, I heard that this horse's tail is still plucked one by one." ”

Baili Xian looked up, but saw Li Xiu covering his mouth and smiling: "It's not because of people?" ”

For a moment, the room was silent.

Then, annoyance turned into anger.

Baili Xian pounced like a wolf, and threw the person down on the couch, which was soft and soft, and after a while, it became a puddle of water.

"The queen is getting bolder now, and she even dares to make jokes about me." Bai Li Xian made a fierce appearance, but it made Li Xiu tremble.

"Your Majesty, you are so cute." Li Xiu cupped his face with both hands, smiling gently, but he didn't have the banter just now, but added more seriousness.

Baili Xian buried his head in her neck socket, and with the faint fragrance after bathing, his mind could calm down at any time.

"I sometimes think that if I hadn't been born in the royal family, my fourth uncle would still be the fourth uncle who loves me, but if I wasn't born in the royal family, but I can't meet you, as long as I think that you will marry someone else, my heart hurts." Baili Xian raised his face, carefully looked at the face in front of him, which was less than the size of his hand, and gently rubbed the tip of her small nose and delicate eyebrows: "Even for you, I have to fight with him." ”

Li Xiu felt a pain in her heart, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Husband will not lose." ”

"Do you believe in me so much?"

Li Xiu nodded heavily without the slightest hesitation.

"You are the true dragon emperor, this country was put into your hands by the emperor, you will not lose."

"What if I lose?"

"I won't lose." Li Xiu didn't know where he got his confidence, but he decided that he would not lose, word by word, without reason, blindly seeking faith.

Baili Xian hugged her, her petite body and fragile shoulders seemed to be able to shatter as long as she used a little harder, but she was so strong that she couldn't help but make him believe that he would not lose, and Baili Xian was also persuaded in an instant, and he felt that he must not lose.

"I won't kill him." Baili Xian said without a word, but Li Xiu understood.

"That sister of the Li family is also a very good person, the concubine looks at their relationship very well, if it really comes to that point, the emperor, why don't you let them retreat?"

Bai Li Xian touched her head and didn't make a sound.

said that he was retiring, but in fact it was just a seclusion, but it could indeed save his life.

The struggle for imperial power, the battle on the battlefield, if it really comes to that point, whether it is life or death, who can predict it?

The next day, in the general's mansion, Li Tong ran out of the room with a red face, she was obviously neatly dressed, but she had a sense of shyness that was seen through from head to toe.

She really couldn't stay in Bai Liye's eyes, so she stepped on him hard and ran out, and even the red clothes didn't keep up with her for a while.

At that speed, it's a pity not to practice light skills with them.

"General, what have you done to Madame again?" Biyu looked at Li Tong who was gone, and the red clothes who ran with a panicked face, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

Bai Li Ye coughed lightly: "What kind of pig talk are you talking about?" I'm good to her. ”

Biyu rolled her eyes slightly, noncommittal.

After Li Tong ran out of the room, he went around the yard for a long time, but he ran into a ruined yard by mistake, it seemed that no one had lived for a long time, the fallen leaves were floating all over the ground, and the flowers and plants in the yard were also withered, and a handful of them were hanging on the ground, and the weeds were very luxuriant, almost occupying the entire flower bed, and there was a stinky small pond, and the rotten fallen leaves covered half of the pond.

Desolate and lonely, even on this hot day, just standing at the gate of the courtyard makes people feel chills all over their bodies.

Li Tong rubbed his arms, hesitated for a moment, and walked in with his feet raised.

The door of the house was open, and there was no movement inside.

"Anyone?" Li Tong stretched his neck, shouted cautiously towards the dark room, and then stood in place for a while.

"Excuse me, anyone?" She amplified her voice slightly, and all that was answered was a cold gust of wind.

People, the more curious they are, the more they want to see it, and the same is true for Li Tong.

But what she thought about was that after all, it was in the General's Mansion, and there shouldn't be any major incidents, not to mention that in broad daylight, the yang energy is so heavy, and the demons and monsters shouldn't dare to come out, right?

Li Tong walked in slowly, and when he stretched out his hand to push open the hidden door, he rushed to the gate of the courtyard in red clothes.

There was a "squeak" and the door opened.

The first musty smell in the room came to his face, Li Tong pinched his sleeves and covered his mouth and nose, and looked around, the tables, chairs and benches in the room were already covered with dust, and no one came to clean them here, so it was deserted.

She stood by the door and turned her head, the door facing the ruined pond, something in the depths of her memory.

"But it's not been three days, and the second lady is gone!"

"The second lady seems to have drowned, and it seems to be ......"

Li Tong's throat tightened, and he swallowed unconsciously.

"Drowned." She muttered.

In fact, since he has been with Bai Li Ye for a while, although he still doesn't know what kind of person he is behind his back, on the surface, he is indeed not a person who loves to kill, but he is indeed ruthless and decisive.

Those nuns in the Cold Night Temple, he just did it, and he only broke other people's fingers, Li Tong didn't suspect it at all because she was there.

What if she's not there?

Can those nuns live?

Li Tong didn't dare to think deeply, she put her eyes back on the dusty room, the tea sets on the table were neatly upside down, the benches were neatly placed on the table, the flowers placed by the door had died, and the floor leading to the inner room was covered with dust, without any footprints, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

Li Tong stepped over gently, the bedding on the bed was neatly stacked, and a scabbard hung on the wall next to the bed, and the sword inside was missing.

"Madame......"

Suddenly, a voice arose, Li Tong turned his head, and saw a woman in red standing at the door, the woman was carrying the light on her back, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and Li Tong's heart stopped a little for a while.

"Ma'am, shall we go back?"

Li Tong came back to his senses, and this was clearly the voice of the naked clothes.

She stroked her heart and gasped, "Before you speak, can you give a hint?" Scared the hell out of me. ”

Chiyi scratched his head: "This is the courtyard of the second lady, since the second lady passed away, no one has come back." ”

Li Tong was silent for a while and asked, "Is it that no one comes again, or does no one dare to come?" ”

The red clothes were stunned, and lowered their heads, this is the answer, Li Tong didn't say anything, only walked out of the house, and stood on the edge of the deserted small pond for a while before leaving completely.

"The matter of the eldest lady and the second lady, the general won't let you talk about it in the mansion, right?"

"Yes."

"You can't say that either?"

"I can't."

"Okay." Li Tong stretched, and just as Chiyi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say again: "I'll ask him myself." ”

Bai Li Ye went out of the house with Biyu at this time, without him, go to Liuyue Village to go around, the kid named Ren Tang before is still quite clever, if he can, he can let him Zhang Luo for him in the people in the future.

Today's Liuyue Village has been restored to its original state, and it is even richer and more peaceful than the previous Liuyue Village.

Ren Tang has also grown a lot taller, after this experience, he is more calm than before, when Baili Ye came, he was reading to other children, with a board and a glance, like a little gentleman.

"This kid is good." Bai Li Ye stood in front of the window with an amiable smile.

When Ren Tang turned around, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, raised his head, and saw Bai Li Ye smiling at him, he was overjoyed, and trotted out after explaining a few words.

"Brother General, why are you here?"

Bai Li Ye touched his head that was about to reach his chest: "I haven't seen you for a long time, come and see you, is life going well?" ”

"Thanks to the general's brother and wife, our village is now self-sufficient, and there is no trouble with flash floods.

Bai Li Ye frowned slightly, he vaguely remembered that this field was indeed given by him, but this fruit forest ......

"Is this orchard your idea?"

Ren Tang didn't dare to take credit, but said: "Someone brought us more than 30 fruit trees and a few bags of seeds, and let us go to the mountains over there to plant them." ”

"Is that man a man or a woman?"

"It's a sister."

Bai Li Ye carried one hand on his back, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen that woman's face?" ”

Ren Tang also reacted at this time, and was a little frightened: "Isn't that person not sent by the general's brother?" Have we been deceived? ”
