Qi Jiuyue casually glanced at Xiao Wanyan, turned his head and said to Qi Jiuchen again: "By the way, Brother Wang, I heard that the identity of the assassin some time ago has been ascertained?" Is the proprietress of Baihuafang? ”

Qi Jiuchen let out a "grace".

"Hundred Flowers?" Xiao Wanyan looked at Qi Jiuchen with a pair of confused eyes.

Qi Jiuchen nodded, without much explanation, he took the cloak from Xiaolian's hand and draped it on Xiao Wanyan's body: "It's windy outside, so you still have to wear thicker." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xiao Wanyan lowered her head slightly, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled softly.

Qi Jiuchen frowned, only to feel that Xiao Wanyan was too disciplined for him, indeed since Xiao Wanyan woke up, everything has been different from before, even the light in his eyes is gone, there is no joy, anger and sorrow, only endless indifference.

Especially in the carriage today, she didn't notice something......

Xiao Wanyan didn't study what Qi Jiuchen was thinking, and she didn't want to know, she just wanted to spend day after day in the mansion peacefully until she took revenge on her family.

She was overwhelmed: "Lord, I still have to go for a walk in the garden, you talk first, I won't accompany you." ”

She took a step and left Qi Jiuchen's side, there was always a sense of depression by Qi Jiuchen's side, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when she left the yard, and she didn't know how her previous days had passed.

After a sigh, she walked along the cobblestone path to the garden, where there were no exotic flowers and plants, only some evergreen trees, and a special smell lingering in the lake.

Xiao Wanyan walked to the river, and from a distance, there was a woman playing the piano in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there was a beautiful man serving beside her, Xiao Wanyan was taken aback, this man was very good-looking, which made her plain heart beat and beat.

She walked forward, Xiaolian followed it, and immediately reminded behind her: "Princess, that's the princess, the prince's favorite sister." ”

Xiao Wanyan's gaze didn't stay on Qi Xiaoran's body too much, but looked at her side: "What about the man next to her?" ”

"That's the waiter that the princess won from the Empress of the Great Liang." Xiaolian explained them to Xiao Wanyan one by one.

"Girder? The country where women are respected? Xiao Wanyan asked subconsciously.

The afterglow of the sunset reflected the bright sunset on the horizon, reflecting on Xiao Wanyan's face, which caused Xiaolian to be stunned, especially the talking-like eyes, which seemed to be breathtaking, making people unable to take their eyes off at a glance.

This scene was in the pavilion

The two of them looked at each other, and even they were stunned, but after noticing Qi Xiaoran's unhappiness, they immediately looked at each other, and said, "Who is coming, don't you know that the princess doesn't like others to disturb when she strokes the piano?" ”

Qi Xiaoran has always been arrogant and domineering, and when she saw that Xiao Wanyan still hadn't come to salute, she snorted unhappily: "What kind of crime should you be guilty of breaking my inspiration to play the qin." ”

Xiao Wanyan "......"

I'm afraid she heard it wrong, and the sounds that popped up just now can also be regarded as inspiration? But she was still patient, and walked over, she was still a person who loved beauty, as if it was good to take a few more looks.

At this moment, she seemed to have completely left Qi Jiuchen behind, and after walking over, Xiaolian was afraid that Qi Xiaoran would be angry, so she hurriedly explained: "Please forgive the princess, the princess didn't know that you came to the mansion today." ”

This sentence of the princess's shout made Qi Xiaoran's head not turn, she looked Xiao Wanyan up and down a few times: "Princess, which princess?" ”

Xiaolian immediately said: "The princess is really good at laughing, and it can still be that princess, naturally it is Princess Yi." ”

"Princess Yi? When did my brother marry my sister-in-law, why don't I know? Qi Xiaoran looked at Xiao Wanyan in surprise.

This woman has always covered her face with a veil, if she is not too ugly, she is too beautiful, maybe her brother is afraid that she will cause trouble outside, but she doesn't know about this matter at all, if it is not for the eight sedan chairs to marry the door, she can't be called a princess

。

Qi Xiaoran was puzzled, and a pair of eyes stared at Xiao Wanyan tightly, as if she wanted to see her through.

Xiao Wanyan was uncomfortable by her, got up and walked towards Qi Xiaoran, avoiding Qi Xiaoran's gaze: "What's your name?" ”

Suddenly poked by this gaze in the softest place in his heart, he lowered his head and said slowly: "Back to the princess, the slave is called Ranran." ”

"Surprised? What a good name. Xiao Wanyan said softly again: "Do you know how to play the piano?" ”

He lowered his head again, and then shook his head slightly: "No." ”

This time, it was Xiao Wanyan's turn to frown, and she was puzzled: "I heard that you are from Daliang, don't they all say that Daliang men are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

Suddenly he couldn't reply, he lowered his eyes and bit his lip fiercely, where was it the turn of others to humiliate him like this when Feng Yiyi was still in the past, he recalled a letter that Yan Jin stuffed to him before he died, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

Looking at his absent-minded appearance, Qi Xiaoran kicked him in the knee, kicked him down the steps, and scolded: "Waste, nothing, what's the use of you." ”

Xiao Wanyan knew that this was for her to see, and she didn't have the slightest temper between her, so she got up and returned to Qi Xiaoran's side, kneeling: "The princess forgives her sins, and the slave will go to school tomorrow." ”

"Why don't you let me teach the princess today?" Xiao Wanyan ostensibly relieved the siege for Ranran, but in fact she had her own plan, and Qi Xiaoran couldn't care about anything else in order to please Chu Huairan, so she had to say: "Since you want to teach, then you can come." ”

In fact, Xiao Wanyan didn't know if she could stroke the piano, she wanted to give it a try, she walked to Qi Xiaoran's side, sat down upright, put her hands on the strings, a melody appeared in her mind like this, she smiled lightly, and finally understood herself a little more.

Xiao Wanyan played very well, of course, Qi Xiaoran also wanted to learn, but before she knew it, it was dark, Qi Xiaoran had an idea, and said to her when she left: "Tomorrow, you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to teach me how to play the piano." ”

Looking at the back of Qi Xiaoran leaving, she stretched her muscles and bones, and after doing it all afternoon, her bones were going to stiffen, but it was worth it, she hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and walked back to the yard with the moonlight.

After dinner, Xiao Wanyan snuggled in Qi Jiuchen's arms and read, and after a while, Qi Jiuchen suddenly said: "Did you accompany Xiaoran to play the piano in the afternoon?" ”

Xiao Wanyan said "um", her eyes still stayed on the tree, and Qi Jiuchen said again: "Did she say anything that made you unhappy?" ”

Xiao Wanyan said lightly: "No." ”

Xiao Wanyan's attention was not on him at all, his innate control made him feel that Xiao Wanyan was about to get out of his control soon, he was a little scared, and directly held Xiao Wanyan's hands and pressed them against the table: "Wanyan, you look at me, I want you to look at me." ”

"Lord Wang, what are you doing here?"

The skin on Xiao Wanyan's wrist was already red, she struggled and was afraid of hurting Qi Jiuchen, she frowned and stared at Qi Jiuchen's eyes.

The dim candlelight flickered on Xiao Wanyan's face, and a different color flashed in Qi Jiuchen's eyes, but soon, he looked down and said, "Wanyan, give birth to a child for me." ”

Xiao Wanyan's whole head was in chaos now, and when she heard Qi Jiuchen's words explode in her ears, her chest became even more dull, as if she was about to lose her breath, she gasped.

Qi Jiuchen carried Xiao Wanyan to the bed, fed her water, and smoothed her down: "Are you better?" ”

Xiao Wanyan stretched out her hand and dragged the quilt up, turned over and faced inside, and said quietly, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, so let's go and rest." ”

Although they are husband and wife, Xiao Wanyan has never slept in the same room with Qi Jiuchen, tonight Qi Jiuchen noticed something unusual, and specially asked Yuyan to make a bowl of soup and send it to the house, he took the soup bowl and scooped it up, blew it, and said warmly: "I let the rain smoke cook it to calm the nerves."

Soup, you drink it before you go to sleep. ”

Xiao Wanyan couldn't resist him, so she had to sit up and let him feed spoonful after spoonful, the taste of the soup was somewhat familiar, and she couldn't help but think of the jade soup specially prepared for her by the back kitchen at lunch every day, she pursed her lips,

only drank half a bowl: "Lord, I can't drink it." ”

Qi Jiuchen looked at the half bowl of soup he drank, then put the bowl aside, quietly wiped the corners of Xiao Wanyan's mouth with a handkerchief, helped her lie down, pulled the hair on her sideburns, and said softly: "I'll wait for you to fall asleep before leaving." ”

Xiao Wanyan closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and as her breathing calmed down, Qi Jiuchen left with confidence.

Listening to the door creak open and close, Xiao Wanyan's eyes narrowed a slit, looking at the empty room and then breathed a sigh of relief, with her intuition, she had already noticed that Qi Jiuchen was unusual, although this person appeared in her memory, and seemed to be her husband, but this memory was only vague, so blurred that she was about to forget.

On the contrary, Qi Jiuyue gave her a more real feeling, and what caused her to suspect was not only these but also the bowl of soup that was not missing on the dinner table every day, since the memory was gone, but her intuition would not degenerate, and her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this bowl of soup.

In the next few days, Xiao Wanyan paid special attention to the soup, and she always secretly poured out the soup at lunch every day, but for some reason, the more this happened, the weaker her body became, and she was awakened by nightmares every day, and even the memories in her mind began to become chaotic.

Especially when she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day to teach Qi Xiaoran to stroke the qin, there were always some broken pictures flashing in front of her eyes, and finally, she no longer trusted anyone and planned to find the truth by herself.

On this day, Qi Xiaoran cleaned up very late, and did not meet in the pavilion on time, Xiao Wanyan planned to walk around the Prime Minister's Mansion by herself, and by feeling, she walked through the garden, walked through the cobblestone path, and came to a deserted courtyard.

This place was cleaned very clean, but there was no human population, lifeless, she hesitated to walk in, opened the door, the room was very cold, she looked around but felt very strange, obviously familiar with other places in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but only here is very unfamiliar.

Suddenly, there was a pain in her head, and a crisp sound sounded in the silent room, she rubbed her head, and as she looked, it was a red bead, and she looked at it suspiciously, and picked it up.

The bead had been dyed red, and she couldn't see what it was, but she didn't know why it had hit her head, and she looked up to see that there was nothing strange except for the missing piece of tile.

But thinking about it again, even if it fell from the roof, who threw it down, she remembered that she didn't see anyone on the roof when she came in just now, Xiao Wanyan felt a cold all around her, and she swallowed her saliva.

It's not that this house is haunted.
