Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Following

She will never forget that on the day she left Da Zhou, after Qi Jiuyue practiced it for her, when she and Batuwu rode horses to open the capital, the soldiers of Da Zhou quickly came to surround them, Qi Jiuyue rode out of the soldiers, and swords faced each other: "King Pingnan did not keep the agreement, intended to rebel, and someone came to take them all." ”

Batuwu was the bravest soldier in Pingnan, he protected Fu Minmin behind him, and pulled out his long knife: "Your Great Zhou Emperor wants to destroy the agreement?" ”

Qi Jiuyue smiled disdainfully: "It's not that we returned to the agreement, it's your intention to rebel, the emperor is just for the sake of the country, and you thieves will be punished on the spot." ”

After saying that, Qi Jiuyue rode over on horseback, Batuwu was not far behind, the two were deadlocked, the sword and sword, Fu Minmin's heart was flustered, she shouted loudly: "Qi Jiuyue, there must be some misunderstanding in this, my father will not rebel." ”

But the fight between the two sides was chaotic, and they couldn't hear anything clearly, just when Qi Jiuyue couldn't fight and couldn't hold it, a long arrow attacked Fu Minmin, and Batuu was cut by Qi Jiuyue's arm in order to save her, and the sharp arrow hit Batuwu's heart.

Qi Jiuyue looked at the archers who came behind him, and secretly said that it was not good, so he immediately swept towards Fu Minmin, dragged her on his horse, and left the battlefield, followed by the archers who shot long arrows one after another, and countless Pingnan warriors died in the rain of arrows.

Fu Minmin watched Batuu die in front of her, she would never forget it, until she died, Batuwu's mouth still shouted: "County Lord, run." ”

It was the person who had been protecting her like a brother, it was the husband she was about to marry, but in an instant, it was all for naught, and the initiator of all this was the person she loved the most in front of her, the person she wanted to give everything to.

She knocked Qi Jiuyue like crazy: "Qi Jiuyue, my father will not rebel, and Batuu is not an assassin, why are you doing this, why are you doing this." ”

She will never forget Qi Jiuyue's ruthless face and the words she said to her: "Fu Minmin, this is your fate, the fate you can't change." ”

The word fate was deeply imprinted in her mind, and she could never forget Qi Jiuyue's ruthlessness, and she would never forget the figure of Batuwu kneeling facing her.

To say that her feelings for Qi Jiuyue in the past were disappointment after hope, then now it is despair after disappointment, there is not even a day when she doesn't want to kill Qi Jiuyue, but she can't do it, whenever she picks up the dagger, she can't be ruthless.

And when she thought of Qi Jiuyue, her heart hurt very much, the more it hurt, the more desperate she became, she had no nostalgia for this world, if she died of illness, it would be her best ending.

She heard that Xiao Wanyan was dead, and her body was found at the bottom of the mountain, and she even thought that she finally had someone to accompany her on the Huangquan Road, but Qi Jiuyue once again deprived her of the right to want to die.

She was unwilling, she grabbed Qi Jiuyue's collar stubbornly: "Qi Jiuyue, I hate you, I will never forgive you." ”

Qi Jiuyue didn't know his mood at this moment, what he liked was clearly Xiao Wanyan, but for some reason his heart hurt when he saw Fu Minmin's appearance.

He grabbed Fu Minmin's shoulders tightly: "When everything is over, I will let you go, so don't kill yourself again." ”

Fu Minmin smiled desolately, she even felt ridiculous: "The end? You're done with one sentence? Qi Jiuyue, let me tell you, I will definitely kill you and avenge Batuu. ”

Qi Jiuyue didn't expect that a killing would make the silly girl who had been following him and always following him lose her smile, and all that accompanied her was endless suffering, but he couldn't tell everything, the days still needed to go on, and the plan still needed to go on.

Facing Fu Minmin's tearful eyes, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I've known each other for so long, don't you know who I am?" Can't you trust me once? I'll be sure to give you an explanation. ”

Fu Minmin slapped Qi Jiuyue's hand fiercely and laughed mockingly: "If I knew from the beginning that you were no different from those ruthless people who killed decisively, I shouldn't have known you, I believed you for so long, what did you get in exchange?" Qi Jiuyue, don't you want to lie to me again to do anything for you. ”

Now, she can't listen to anything, she only has endless regret in her heart, she hates her trust in Qi Jiuyue, and she hates herself even more for loving the wrong person.

Qi Jiuyue knew that it was useless to say anything, so he had to call the maid in and leave the house, when he walked out of the threshold, Fu Minmin looked at his back with red eyes and said: "Wanyan fell off the cliff was also arranged by you, Qi Jiuyue, don't you feel scared when you close your eyes at night?" ”

Qi Jiuyue paused, continued to walk forward, walked out of the courtyard, and could vaguely hear Fu Minmin's roar behind him: "Qi Jiuyue, you are already hard-hearted, you are not worthy of love, let alone love Wanyan." ”

The sound was so terrible that the birds in the backyard landed on the trees, and flew around in fright, and for a time a few leaves on the trees also fell to the ground, and the bare trunks stood alone in the cold wind, allowing the wind and rain to blow.

On the second day, Qi Xiaoran's birthday, this day the Great Zhou everywhere was full of joy, the emperor ordered the whole country to celebrate, and sent all the most precious things to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Wanyan looked at the lively door and couldn't help but admire: "It's worthy of the princess's birthday, so lively." ”

Qi Jiuchen on the side listened tightly and tightened his hand holding Xiao Wanyan's shoulder, and said dotingly: "If you like it, when you are born, I will also celebrate you like this, even more lively than this." ”

If it was usual, Xiao Wanyan would definitely feel happy, but after yesterday's events, she felt an indescribable feeling for Qi Jiuchen in her heart

Fear, she didn't want to stay with him for a moment longer.

She looked at the hand on her shoulder and smiled slightly: "The princess is noble, how can I compare everything with her, and it is not in accordance with the rules, this kind of thing, the prince will say less in the future."

Maybe it was Xiao Wanyan, who was accustomed to the rules, Qi Jiuchen didn't refute, but just replied: "My princess must be worthy of the best in this world." ”

Xiao Wanyan smiled slightly, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

The two walked into the mansion, and on the cobblestone path, a maid greeted her: "Princess, the princess is waiting for you in the lotus pavilion, please come with the slave maid." ”

Xiao Wanyan glanced at the maid who came to lead the way, and then at Qi Jiuchen: "Lord, I'll go first." ”

Qi Jiuchen nodded, took advantage of the situation, and tightened her cloak: "Okay, I'll go to you again in a while, you pay attention to yourself." ”

Xiao Wanyan followed the maid all the way to the west, three turns and two turns to the lake, the lake is sparkling, very good-looking, the air contains a fragrance, the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming just right, what is a cherished variety, it is almost the end of autumn, this lotus is still so beautiful and moving.

The maid led the way in front, walked across a small bridge on the lake, and saw Qi Xiaoran smiling on the pavilion in the center of the lake, discussing with a few flattering noblewomen, and she heard something when she got closer.

Qi Xiaoran looked very self-conscious: "She is asking for her own hardships, and the world will soon be my imperial brother's, and she thinks she is something, and she dares to show me a look." ”

The noble lady was full of smiles on her face, and she said: "No, now Pingnan is pressed by the emperor and doesn't dare to come out, to put it nicely, she is a county lord, if there is no Pingnan, she is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the princess." ”

Qi Xiaoran was very proud when she heard this: "This is what you said, she will come here after a while, give her some hardship." ”

Another noble girl wondered, "Can she still go out in this situation?" ”

Qi Xiaoran smiled again: "I personally gave her the post, she didn't dare to come, not to mention that she was looked at by my brother Wang, and it wasn't my business to let her come." ”

"The princess is amazing."

………………

A word between the nobles, I gave Qi Xiaoran a sentence to the sky, Qi Xiaoran was happy, when she saw Xiao Wanyan coming, she walked towards Xiao Wanyan with a smile on her face, took her hand and walked to the crowd.

Xiao Wanyan appeared in a gathering among these women for the first time, and these people definitely didn't know each other, but they just looked at Qi Xiaoran's extremely intimate appearance to her, and they all surrounded her.

"This is Princess Yi, my sister-in-law, sister-in-law she rarely goes out, so you rarely see her." Qi Xiaoran introduced.

This topic exploded in the noble girl for a while, and she had never heard of King Yi marrying a wife, let alone Princess Yi, and even a few women who had secretly agreed to Qi Jiuchen cast hostile glances.

One of the women in pink clothes had a look of arrogance on her face: "I don't know what rank the princess's family is, why have I never seen you?" ”

Xiao Wanyan didn't like the woman in front of her, so she simply kept silent, Qi Xiaoran saw that she didn't speak, so she replied for her: "Sister-in-law Wang's family lives in Jiangnan, the child of a merchant, and she has never been an official in the court. ”

The woman said, "No wonder, none of us have heard anything about the princess. ”

The atmosphere was once embarrassing, and Qi Xiaoran hurriedly took Xiao Wanyan's hand and sat down: "My sister-in-law is amazing, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she taught me all my piano skills." ”

A woman in a green robe in the crowd said in a thin voice: "In this case, the princess's piano skills must be very superb, I heard that there is a hibiscus girl who has a good talk about music in Baihuafang recently, I have the honor to listen to it twice on the street, why don't we see who has the better tune of the princess and the hibiscus girl?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the face of the woman in the crowd stiffened a little, the world knows that only the people in the building will play with their piano skills everywhere, not to mention that they will also take out the Oiran of Baihuafang to talk about things, but also compare with it, if it is spread, the princess's face will be lost.

Xiao Wanyan glanced at the person and asked Qi Xiaoran, "Princess, who is this person?" ”

Qi Xiaoran hurriedly introduced: "Sister-in-law Wang, this is the young lady who supervises the Sun family of the imperial history, Sun Miao. ”

"A little five-grade official lady dares me to play the piano, I don't know if you should say that you are really temperamental or too bold." Xiao Wanyan didn't save Sun Miao's face at all, and her words became even more ruthless: "Aren't you afraid that I will chase you for one of the following crimes?" ”
