Soon, mourning music began to play, and the funeral procession slowly moved forward, and after a circle around the city, it came out of the south gate.

After leaving the city, the ladies all changed into carriages, and Qiu Xiyin sat in a carriage with Xie Shi and Feng Zhinan.

After getting in the car, Feng Zhinan said to Qiu Xiyin, "Do you want to sleep in my arms for a while?" ”

Qiu Xiyin, "......"

Feng Zhinan patted her leg and motioned for her to lie down.

Qiu Xiyin, "......"

Xie Shi said lightly, "The princess is pregnant, if you have anything to say, I won't tell you."

Feng Zhinan sighed and said, "I don't have anything to say, I just saw that she had lost a lot of weight and wanted to hug her."

Qiu Xiyin, "......"

Xie Shi glanced at her unexpectedly and said, "Xie Tanwei has a good eye."

Feng Zhinan sighed again, and Qiu Xiyin couldn't help but ask, "How are the little uncle and cousin?" ”

"Same".

Feng Zhinan thought for a while, and said, "Xie Jiashu didn't know that you were locked up by your father, your little uncle said that you were locked up well, he couldn't get used to your father and mother for a long time, if you are so close, maybe your cousin will be angry and kill your father and mother directly, and he will pick up a lively look next to him."

Qiu Xiyin, "...... Did he really say that?"

Feng Zhinan said, "I don't tell lies."

Xie Shi said coldly, "Since you don't tell lies, why don't you tell me why Ning Shenyi has been holding back until now?" ”

Feng Zhinan was stunned, as if she didn't understand why she didn't even know this, "Naturally, in order to make Yinyin see clearly, it was you who forced him to do it, not that he even had his wife's parents and cousins for fame and fortune."

Xie Shi frowned and looked at her, then looked at Qiu Xiyin with a stunned face, and snorted coldly, "You are here to say good things for Ning Shenzhi?" ”

Feng Zhinan said, "I don't tell lies."

Xie Shi didn't pay attention to her anymore, Feng Zhinan stretched out his hands to Qiu Xiyin, Qiu Xiyin hurriedly shook her head, she didn't force it anymore, her hands hung on her knees, and she closed her eyes to recuperate.

Along the way, the three of them didn't speak again, and when they got out of the car, Xie Shi got out of the car first, and Feng Zhinan suddenly said, "Cousin sent a message to tell you not to be afraid, wait for him."

Qiu Xiyin paused, and looked at Feng Zhinan intently, but Feng Zhinan didn't look at her, got off the carriage neatly, and reached out to help her.

Qiu Xiyin looked at her hands stretched out towards her, and looked up at him in disbelief, Feng Zhinan still stretched out her hand towards her expressionlessly.

Qiu Xiyin only felt a majestic and vast emotion rushing to the softest place in her heart, and her eyes turned red suddenly, but she quickly controlled the tears that had reached her eye sockets, and helped her hand to get out of the car.

Xiaochengzong stopped in the emperor's tomb for three days, and during these three days, the civil and military officials and the women and nobles had to complete various prayers and worship rituals.

When the funeral procession arrived at the emperor's mausoleum, it was just noon, and it was not until night fell, that everyone finally completed the ceremony of the day and returned to the temporary house, and Feng Zhinan, who had been silently following Qiu Xiyin during the whole process, followed Qiu Xiyin into the house very calmly.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiu Xiyin closed the door with his backhand, inserted the deadbolt, and threw himself into his arms, and the tears that he had endured for a day were pouring down.

Ning Shenzhi, her husband-

Ning Shenzhi hugged her tightly, and both of them seemed to use all their strength to hug each other, eager to integrate themselves into each other's bodies.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a short moment, Qiu Xiyin raised his head suddenly, stood on tiptoe and eagerly searched for his lips, Ning Shenzhi noticed her movements, and immediately lowered his head.

As soon as Qiu Xiyinfu touched his lips, he immediately put his tongue into his mouth almost greedily.

After a long absence, she should have held his hand and asked him about what happened to him these days, and told him about her pain, hesitation and regret during this time, but at this moment, all she wanted was to kiss him and rub herself into his body, forever and ever-

It turned out that what he said was really true, it turned out that he loved a person very much, missed a person very much, and what he thought really turned into only one thought, to get closer to him, to be closer, to be closer......

At this moment, Qiu Zhengshen's voice outside rang out, "Yinyin? I have prepared another place for the princess, and I ask her to move."

Qiu Xiyin's whole body stiffened, Ning Shenzhi's eyes were faintly red, and what was hidden was greed and Gu Wang, he took a deep breath, reached out and stroked Qiu Xiyin's soft hair, his lips moved, and he was a silent "wait for me".

Then, he picked up Qiu Xiyin, tiptoed slightly, jumped to the side of the bed in two steps, except for Qiu Xiyin's embroidered shoes, gently put her on the bed, and fell a kiss between her hair, stabilized his breath, turned around and strode out.

Qiu Xiyin sat on the bed and watched his back as he left, raised the corners of his lips, but tears fell endlessly, Ning Shenzhi, her husband......

……

……

Qiu Xiyin thought that she would not be able to sleep, and she didn't want her to fall asleep as soon as she lay down, but at some point, she was woken up by a faint scream, she sat up and listened attentively, and the screams that seemed to be empty gradually turned into noisy shouts, and then someone shouted to go water.

The palace maid who was waiting also woke up and lit the candle, Qiu Xiyin didn't want her to serve, quickly put on her clothes, shoes and socks, simply tied her hair into a bun, and grabbed her cloak and put it on, she had to take care of herself so that she wouldn't be distracted by Ning Shenzhi.

After getting dressed, Qiu Xiyin went out of the house, the emperor's mausoleum is very large, there are too many people who only come to the funeral, except for a few people such as the queen and concubine, no one can live in a courtyard alone, and many female dependents and even several people crowd into a room.

At this time, a group of people had gathered in the courtyard, all of them pointed to the place of the fire with frightened faces and said something, and when they saw her come out, they all looked over, and several people subconsciously wanted to come around, but they thought about it again, stopped and looked at her again.

Hua Yuexi separated everyone, trotted to him, and asked urgently, "Princess Jun, do you know what happened?" Why did you suddenly go out of the water? ”

Qiu Xiyin looked back at Xie's room next door, Xie didn't know when he had left the room, standing silently on the stone staircase at the door, looking at the place where the fire was soaring, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Everyone's eyes followed Qiu Xiyin to her, and Xie suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Qiu Xiyin, "Yinyin, come to me."

Qiu Xiyin obediently walked to her side and stood still, Hua Yuexi asked again, "Does Mrs. Qiu know what happened?" ”

"It's just men fighting for power," Xie's expression was faint, "Let's just wait for the results to come out."

Hua Yuexi choked, and curtsy after a while, "Thank you, Mrs. Qiu."

The people who were still panicked suddenly all fell silent, yes, the men are fighting for power and profit, some of them know some, and more are completely ignorant, they can't intervene, they can't help, what if they are anxious, what if they are worried?

Just wait for the results!

The distant firelight reflected the entire sky as bright as day, and the faint shouts of killing accompanied by the silence of the courtyard made this midsummer night particularly strange and ominous.

Qiu Xiyin stood a little tired, so he simply sat down on the stone ladder, raised his cheeks and looked at the thin silver moon in the sky, his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful and light, it was a pleasant peace and lightness, that was Ning Shenzhi, he would definitely defeat all the ill-intentioned people and take her home.

Coming home is a warm and pleasant word when you think of it!

Qiu Xiyin silently read a few times, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth deepened.

Time passed little by little, and when the dawn broke in the east, a burst of fast and neat footsteps came from far and near, approaching the courtyard, and the tired people instantly tensed their minds and looked at the courtyard gate vigilantly.

Qiu Xiyin wanted to stand up, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up at all for a while.

"Bang-"

The courtyard gate was rudely pushed open, and in the cramped courtyard, as soon as the courtyard door was pushed open, everyone inside could be seen at a glance.

A group of brocade-clothed guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists poured in, and in an instant, the already crowded courtyard was crowded, and they were neatly divided into two teams like a tide, revealing the last person - Ning Shenzhi was dressed in light armor, carrying a longbow on his shoulder, and carrying a quiver on his back, striding forward with a solemn face. I read books

Almost instinctively, all the female dependents retreated to both sides, revealing Qiu Xiyin and Xie Shi, who were sitting and standing in the innermost.

The moment he saw Qiu Xiyin, Ning Shenzhi's solemn face instantly lit up, his lips moved, and before he could shout a "Yinyin", a person suddenly jumped in front of Qiu Xiyin in the dark, and the silver dagger was tightly attached to Qiu Xiyin's bare neck.

Xiao Yin——

Ning Shenzhi stood still, his face sank instantly, Rong Xuan, who was protecting behind him, took two steps forward, pulled out the embroidered spring knife to protect him, and shouted, "Let go of the princess of the county!" ”

He looks as beautiful as a good woman, but the embroidered spring knife he pulled out is full of blood, and his face is also splashed with blood.

Xiao Yin tried his best to control the chill in his heart, and the hand holding the dagger increased his strength, and shouted inwardly, "King Ningjun, this palace doesn't want to be your enemy, as long as you promise to protect this palace to ascend the throne, this palace will immediately release the little senior sister!" ”

Rong Xuan was about to speak, but Ning Shenzhi reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, pushed him to the side, and said word by word, "Take away your dirty hands!" ”

Xiao Yin hissed and shouted, "The throne was originally mine!" It's mine! I'm just going to get my own! ”

Ning Shen took half a step back, slowly pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, drew the bow, and the red feather arrow pointed directly at Xiao Yin, "I'll say it again, take away your dirty hands."

Xiao Yin straightened his chest and shouted, "I'm the crown prince!" Ning Shenzhi, you dare to rebel—"

Before he finished speaking, the red feather arrow had already left the string, and shot straight at Xiao Yin's forehead with a strong wind, Xiao Yin didn't even snort and fell straight backwards.

There was a muffled sound, and the dagger in Xiao Yin's intact right hand when he fell down was tightly gripped, and it was only after a while that he fell down the stone stairs with a bang.

"If anyone dares to stretch out his hand to my beloved wife, remember today!"

Ning Shenzhi's voice was not loud, and he didn't necessarily know how sharp it was, and the people present, even including Rong Xuan, only felt like a thunderclap that slashed straight at his most fragile heart, and the chill went straight to the bottom of his heart!

Qiu Xiyin looked at Ning Shenzhi, who was cold and full of anger, Xu was in a hurry, although his face was washed, his body and hands were full of blood stains and scars, obviously she should feel fear, even disgust, but strangely, at this time, her heart was full of pride and love.

This is her husband-

Qiu Xiyin stroked her heart a little strangely, deep there, one of her hearts was beating violently, a very novel feeling, but full of beauty, Ning Shenzhi's arrow shot at Xiao Yin, but it hit her heart directly-

"Yan Yan'er—"

Ning Shenzhi swept in front of her like a gust of wind, half-knelt down, and carefully hugged her into his arms, "Yan Yan'er, don't be afraid-"

Don't be afraid of me—

Qiu Xiyin strangely understood the unfinished meaning of his words, reached out and gently hugged his thin waist, exhaled lightly, put his face on the cold armor, listened carefully to the rapid heartbeat there, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, I am not afraid, you don't have to be afraid, in this life, I will definitely cherish you well, love you well, we are good, white-headed to old age......

postscript

In the twenty-seventh year of filial piety, Xiaochengzong collapsed, Deng Guifei's party and the Ministry of Labor Shangshu were deeply feuding, and the abolished prince Xiao Yin intended to kill the queen Li and help the second prince to ascend the throne as the emperor.

Fortunately, the county king Ning Shenzhi stopped in time, and the three princes of the full moon were helped by the will of filial piety Chengzong, and in the turmoil, the second prince died, and Deng Guifei hanged herself in the cold palace.

Ning Shenzhi coerced the dragon's work, was named the regent, and assisted the government, which was the first year of filial piety.

Ten years of filial piety

In the bright water pavilion, Taifu shook his head and read, "...... Establish a life for the people and open a peaceful ...... for all generations"

The next group of little radish heads are listening attentively, only the little boy wearing a bright yellow jacket follows and shakes his head, and if you look closely, you will find that he is actually dozing off, but the Taifu is strict, he doesn't dare to lie down to sleep, and it looks like he is studying with the old lady from a distance.

The old lady soon noticed the abnormality below, and slammed the ring ruler at the bookcase in front of the child.

There was a "pop" sound, and the frightened little boy stood up and shouted loudly, "Taifu, I, I didn't sleep!" You see, my eyes are open! The old lady was so angry that her beard trembled, and she said viciously, "The emperor will stand and listen!" ”

The little boy lowered his face bitterly, but he didn't dare to choke with Taifu, and stood straight and didn't dare to move.

About two quarters of an hour later, the old lady announced that she was going to school, but the little emperor was left behind, and the other children had long been accustomed to it, and they all saluted and left.

As soon as he came out of the water pavilion, all the children whispered and snickered, but the youngest child still maintained the solemn expression of the lecture, and the other children seemed to be used to it, and did not talk to him, and easily isolated him.

At this moment, a girl in an aqua blue dress walked over with a food box.

All the children cheered, and rushed up, and chattered around the girl, and the girl responded patiently, and took out the snacks in the food box and distributed them to them.

Finally, he handed the plate containing the ice silk lotus paste bun to the cold-faced little boy, and said softly, "Cousin Ning, this is your favorite food, I made it myself, try it."

Although Xiao Tong still looked cold, he reached out and took it, took a bite, and said, "It's delicious."

The girl immediately smiled and bent a pair of big cat eyes, and the little boy's face softened a little when he saw it, and he finished eating a lotus paste bun in a few bites.

"Do you want more?"

The boy shook his head, but the girl didn't persuade him, and told him a few words to keep warm, and he was going inside.

Xiao Tong hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Are you going to wait for the emperor?" ”

The girl turned back and smiled at him, smiling like a flower.

The boy stood in place for a while, and then walked out with the book basket, and after a while, he saw his own father standing in the middle of the road ahead.

Obviously, he didn't do anything, but he just didn't feel weak for no reason, so he hurriedly hurried up and saluted.

Ning Shenzhi glanced at him lightly and asked, "Like the eldest princess?" ”

"She looks like a mother."

Ning Shenzhi pursed his lips, sure enough, his son was born to compete with him for favor! It's not that Yan Yan'er is talking about any child every day, he doesn't want this little ghost who competes for favor!

"She didn't think so, she told me that day that she was prettier than your mother, and younger than your mother, and wanted to be a little lady for you."

Xiao Tong's eyes widened in shock, and Ning Shenzhi raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Tong pursed his lips and leaned over to salute, "Father, it was my mistake, I won't take other people's things to eat in the future."

Ning Shenzhi touched his head, "There are too many people in this palace who have bad intentions towards you, you can't concentrate on studying here, I will send you to the Xie Academy another day."

It's better to be far away and not to be an eyesore, well, and Qiu Zhengshen, who was under house arrest in the Qiu Mansion but didn't give up, and instigated Xiao Lin to toss, it was better to send it far away, so that Yan Yan'er's mind couldn't help but put it on him and Xie's body.

The child hesitated, "My father has mentioned it before, but my mother disagrees."

Ning Shenzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "She will agree."

He endured the disgusting feeling and listened to Xiao Lin say those disgusting words, and tolerated her approaching Yan Yan'er's heart treasure, was it all fun?

Child, "......"

I always felt that my father had bad intentions, however, there was no evidence ⊙_⊙
