Xiao Wanyan sighed, silently walked to the dresser, cleaned up, changed her clothes, pushed open the door, walked out, and saw Qi Xiaoran and Chu Huairan playing chess in the pavilion, she always thought that Qi Xiaoran would only make trouble unreasonably, but she didn't know that she could also play chess.

Xiao Wanyan didn't pay attention to it, and walked straight out of the house, since the matter in the palace was solved, then she could continue to send people to guard, and after walking a few steps, she heard a familiar voice calling her, and she looked back and saw that it was Fu Minmin.

Fu Minmin was dressed differently today than in the past, she wore an exotic long dress, and the jewelry on her head was also different from Da Zhou, she thought about it carefully and realized that this was something native to Pingnan, and it was more suitable for her than Da Zhou's things.

Without Da Zhou's clothes to restrain her, and even walking with the wind, Fu Minmin ran to her and said with a light smile: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a few days, where are you going?" ”

Xiao Wanyan replied: "I'm bored in the house, go out for a walk." ”

Only then did she notice that Fu Minmin was followed by a man, if she remembered it well, it was the man who rescued Fu Minmin under the carriage that day, he still looked like a handsome son, warm as jade.

His eyes moved with Fu Minmin's smile, Xiao Wanyan saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Look at you, you don't know how to introduce me to new friends when you meet them." ”

Fu Minmin then remembered, she patted her head: "You see I have forgotten, sister-in-law, this is Batuu, Batuu is the prime minister's wife." ”

The name Batuu sounded a little special, she smiled at Batuu, dragged Fu Minmin aside, and whispered, "He's not a local?" ”

Fu Minmin explained: "Batuwu is a native of Pingnan, and now he is the general of Pingnan, so it's amazing." ”

The general of Pingnan? Xiao Wanyan was puzzled: "You already know each other?" ”

Fu Minmin nodded and said: "Batuu is my childhood playmate, and later I separated from him when I arrived in Da Zhou, and this meeting can be regarded as fate." ”

Xiao Wanyan only then understood why before, in front of Qi Jiuyue, she was able to leave with a strange man who had only seen one face, and she was far away: "Then the last time he saved you, you also designed it in advance?" ”

Fu Minmin blushed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Sort of, I thought I could use this to let Qi Jiuyue take a look at me more, who knew that he not only didn't care, but scolded me, I can see it, he is just a belly of flowers, and he won't put his eyes on me no matter what, sister-in-law, I also figured it out, there are so many crooked neck trees in the world, and I can't hang myself from a tree." ”

Fu Minmin seemed to have grown up overnight, and it really didn't look like her style to let go so easily, Xiao Wanyan asked euphemistically: "Minmin, are you okay?" ”

Fu Minmin thought that she had learned to empathize with her, and she was very proficient in using it, she said indifferently: "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate me, I used to take Qi Jiuyue too seriously, but now without him, I feel that the air is so fresh and the sunshine is so beautiful, why do I have to stare at him alone?" It's not that he can't live without him. ”

Having said that, Xiao Wanyan still heard a sad meaning, and she couldn't leave Batuu aside for too long, so she found an excuse to leave: "I'm happy for you if you think so, go quickly, don't let people wait for a long time." ”

Fu Minmin turned to leave, Xiao Wanyan looked at her back, thought for a while, and called her: "Minmin." ”

Fu Minmin turned his head, only to hear Xiao Wanyan add another sentence: "You look so good in this dress, better than all clothes." ”

Xiao Wanyan's words went through carefully in her heart, she smiled lightly, didn't say anything, just turned around and her heart fell instantly, she was too tired to like a person, she couldn't support Qi Jiuyue's change anymore.

Xiao Wanyan could see that Fu Minmin was really sincere to Qi Jiuyue, but they were together and would only make Fu Minmin lose his original happiness, Pingnan was recently guarded by the soldiers sent by the emperor, and a little wind and grass first reached Qi Jiulu's ears, she thought that this might be the reason why Fu Minmin gave up.

According to the original regulations, when Fu Minmin grows up, he can return to Pingnan when he reaches the age of marriage, and he wants to come to Batuu for this purpose.

Xiao Wanyan was wandering on the street, feeling that Fu Minmin's love road was bumpy, but thinking back, what qualifications did she have to say about others, and she didn't know where to go with her heart.

She was uneasy in her heart, but she still didn't want to go back to the house to rest, Qu Xiaoran's words before made her think a little, she repeatedly saved Chu Huairan in fire and water, although she said that she hated him, but she had lived under the same roof with him for so long, and Chu Huairan did occupy an unusual position in her heart.

Xiao Wanyan thought about it, and felt that she was indeed against her own will, and then she understood what the men and women who loved so much in the past were for, she knew her own intentions but still wanted to kill Chu Huairan, which could not be changed.

This matter can't be delayed any longer, otherwise with her soft-heartedness, she can't predict what will happen in the end.

Xiao Wanyan entered the Hundred Flowers Workshop, in the room, Yu Jin had been waiting for a long time, and Qu Xiaoran was waiting on the side, when he saw Xiao Wanyan coming, he raised his head expectantly, and his eyes were full of caution.

Xiao Wanyan pretended not to look at him, and walked to the table with Lu Jin, who took out the map and put it on the table: "Empress, we have gotten the news, and the people of Daliang will return the same way in a few days, we must not let go of this opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult to wait for the next time." ”

Qi Jiulu let Feng Ruyi go when he caught the assassins, indicating that he knew very well that those assassins were not the people of the Great Liang, but as far as she knew, those people were all dead soldiers, from the fight to the time they were captured, they all committed suicide by poisoning, and Qi Jiulu had no chance to interrogate their identities at all.

Xiao Wanyan couldn't help but doubt: "I suspect that the Great Zhou Emperor already knows that the people who came to assassinate him are not from Daliang, and he wants to take the opportunity to detain a large number of people, but he didn't expect to miss last night." ”

I also heard about last night's incident, Qi Xiaoran returned to the palace at night, and even the Queen Mother was alarmed, but fortunately, the Queen Mother was defending Qi Xiaoran, which made the emperor

The plan is out of the blue.

But with Xiao Wanyan's understanding of Qi Jiulu, he will definitely not give up, and if he doesn't catch Qi Jiuchen this time, he must be unwilling, maybe he is plotting the next plan again.

Xiao Wanyan's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and she couldn't hold her mind for a while, she hesitated: "You send someone to keep an eye on the palace, this time we must kill Feng Ruyi, and no matter who comes, we will kill it." ”

Yu Jin nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates will go and prepare." ”

From entering the Hundred Flowers Workshop to coming out, Xiao Wanyan's eyes never fell on Qu Xiaoran's body, and she hesitated to intercede for Qu Xiaoran: "Empress, is there no room for relaxation in Qu Xiaoran's affairs?" ”

Xiao Wanyan hesitated: "Qu Xiaoran's temperament is too reckless, he is not suitable to continue to stay by my side, since you have chosen to let him stay with you, take good care of him, don't let it interfere with our plans." ”

Yu Jin, knowing Xiao Wanyan's temperament, didn't say much, just took out a porcelain vase: "Empress, I know that it must be reasonable for you to let Qu Xiaoran leave, but I believe that she is not the one who will betray you, this porcelain vase was handed over to me by him, he originally wanted to wait for the matter to pass before handing it over to you, but now I can only hand it over." ”

Xiao Wanyan took the porcelain vase and took a deep look: "He told you everything?" ”

Lu Jin shook his head: "He just said that he never had the intention of betraying you, he just wants you to return to Daliang faster." ”

Of course Xiao Wanyan didn't believe Qu Xiaoran's heartfelt intentions, but she was afraid that he would be used by someone with a heart, Xiao Wanyan still didn't let go and let Qu Xiaoran come back, she just let Yu Jin look down on him, and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It was night, Chu Huairan didn't come back, she was alone in the house looking at the porcelain bottle that she got back from the brocade, the bottle was very simple, the color was pure white, there were no other impurities, after opening it was a dried flower, the color was delicate, but there was no fragrance.

She seems to have seen this kind of flower in the ancient books of Daliang before, this is a strange flower in the Western Regions called Shihua, colorless and tasteless killing is invisible, but it is only useful when the flower is just broken off and the freshness is preserved, this flower is often preserved in bamboo, and it is the best killing weapon in the Western Regions.

Xiao Wanyan quietly covered the porcelain bottle, put it in the copper box on the cabinet, and walked out of the room.

She sat on a stone bench in the courtyard with a wine jug in her hand, looking at the moon hanging in the air, while tasting the spicy spicy wine in the wine, there were already many empty wine jugs on the side, arranged irregularly, under the illumination of the moonlight, emitting a bright white light.

In the past, Xiao Wanyan drank lightly and didn't like this kind of stimulating headache very much, but now she felt that this was the only way she could find comfort, looking at the four, five, and six wine bottles in her hand, the wine glass in her hand was still stable, it seemed that she was good at drinking, and she could compete with a thousand glasses without getting drunk.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Huairan came back, he walked to Xiao Wanyan's side in a cool air, and when he saw him, Xiao Wanyan was stunned, staggered up, and said with confused eyes: "You are back, come, drink with me, we will rest as soon as we get drunk." ”

Xiao Wanyan stumbled a few steps, Chu Huairan hurried to help, but Xiao Wanyan held down her arm, she stabilized her figure, and put the wine glass in Chu Huairan's hand, and smiled: "I'm fine, don't underestimate me too much, my amount of wine is good, it's not modest to say that I am not drunk with a thousand glasses." ”

It's really immodest, Chu Huairan has never seen Xiao Wanyan like this, he is behind him, for fear that Xiao Wanyan will accidentally fall to the ground, he swept the empty wine jug on the table, and looked at the wine jug in Xiao Wanyan's hand that was about to be empty, and frowned: "Wanyan, don't drink, it's time to rest." ”
