The green lotus is cool and the breeze is dawning, and the red calyx is open and purple is heavy.

The hot summer always seems infinitely long, Apricot sat behind a rockery in the twilight garden, looking at the lotus flowers swaying and dancing in the wind on the water in a daze, she waited for a long time, a little impatient, took off her shoes and socks, a pair of lotus feet soaked in the water, it was getting late, the stuffy breath in the air dissipated, the lake was also slightly cool, she raised a pair of small feet fluttering alternately patting the water, a tall man came in the distance, he saw Apricot a small face frowned together, looked quite annoyed, couldn't help but smile, quietly walked around from behind the rockery, tiptoed behind her, suddenly hugged her, and laughed loudly: "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Xing'er was suddenly hugged by someone, and she was a little surprised, but when she heard the person's voice, her face turned red, and she said half ashamedly and half annoyed: "Ziyi, why did you come here at this time?" ”

Hongday heard her affectionately call herself, and she was already happy in her heart, seeing her tilt her head slightly, revealing her beautiful and lovely cheeks, she couldn't help but move, lowered her head and pecked her face, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother has something to do with me, so I delayed." ”

Xing'er was kissed by him, her cheeks were flushed, and her body fell softly into his arms, Hongyang hugged her, sat beside her, and saw her pair of pink little feet soaked in water, and her mind moved, so she teased: "There are many insects in this water, they see such a white and tender little feet and bite them, see what you can do?" ”

When Xing'er heard him say this, she hurriedly lifted her feet, but when she looked back and saw the smile on his face after success, she couldn't help but be annoyed, and said, "Okay! How dare you lie to me? ”

Hongtian raised his eyebrows and said nothing, revealing a hearty smile.

Xing'er put on her shoes and socks, and suddenly thought that he had just mentioned the fourth elder brother, so she asked, "What is the fourth elder brother looking for you?" ”

An unpredictable look suddenly flashed on the fifth elder brother's face, and then he said, "It's nothing." ”

Xing'er saw that his expression was different, so she knew that he didn't want to say, and she didn't ask much, and said, "I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

Seeing her solemn expression, the fifth elder brother asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's a good sister of mine, named Suyi, I led you to see it before, but she somehow offended Wei Lianghong, and now Wei Lianghong lets her do hard labor every day, she is tired, but she has a gentle personality and is obedient, I can't bear to see her like this, can you take care of it?" Xing'er said, and there was obvious hatred in her eyes when she mentioned Wei Lianghong's three words.

"Suyi?" The fifth elder brother didn't understand for a while.

"Well, it's the one I asked her to send a message last time and it turned out to be wrong, she is the daughter of Lord Shen, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Apricot said.

The fifth elder brother heard her mention Lord Shen, and a picture slowly appeared in his mind, yes, he had indeed seen the woman, but she had a deferential personality and was afraid of herself, although he had seen it a few times, but he had never seen her face clearly, if he remembered it, it was only the elegant and pleasant fragrance on her body.

The fifth elder brother sighed, a look of unbearability appeared on his face, and said, "There is one thing, I don't know how you will feel when you hear it?" ”

Seeing the fifth elder brother's solemn face, Xing'er felt a tense in her heart and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lord Shen committed suicide in prison." Fifth elder brother said.

"What?" Xing'er was startled, staring at the fifth elder brother with wide eyes, she didn't believe it, how could it be? It can be seen that the fifth elder brother nodded, and his heart sank little by little. She came to the fifth elder brother today to ask the fifth elder brother to help Su Yi, but she got such bad news, Su Yi ...... I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it......

"As for what you said about Wei Lianghong's embarrassment for her, I will help her do something, but I can't change her father's affairs. You let her mourn and change. "Fifth Brother said.

"Did the case come to a conclusion?" Xing'er asked as she thought of the case.

But seeing that the fifth elder brother shook his head, his face was solemn: "This case actually has an eyebrow, as long as Lord Shen persists for a few more days, there will be a turnaround, and his grievances will definitely be washed away, but he can't bear the pain of imprisonment and ends his life by himself." The fourth brother came to me today for Shen Weizhong's business. ”

At the beginning of the palace lights, a cool breeze blew in the face, the apricots trembled, couldn't help but shiver, looked up, only to see that there was not even a star in the dark night, the moon hid and disappeared at some point, but the wind was getting stronger and stronger, is it about to change the sky?

Xing'er returned to the residence, only to see Su Yi was moving the two pots of orchids outside the door into the house, she saw Xing'er coming back, smiled, and said, "You're back, it's going to rain, I'm worried about you." ”

"How do you know it's going to rain?" Apricot asked stupidly.

When Su Yi heard this, she smiled lightly and said: "The mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings, you see that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the night is gloomy, but it's not going to rain." ”

She closed the door of the house, but left a window, and stood alone in front of the window to blow the wind, and Apricot came up to her and said, "What are you doing standing here?" The wind was so strong. ”

"I'm tired all day today, I always feel slimy, the heat is unbearable, there is such a strong wind at the moment, it's finally cooler, standing here blowing the wind, it's good to see the rain." Su Yidao.

"You like to watch the rain?" Xing'er wondered in her heart and asked.

"Well, the drizzle wet clothes can't be seen, and the idle flowers are silent. I like rainy days since I was a child, when I was a child, I liked to be in the rain, my father was often annoyed that there was no way, I was weak since I was a child, he felt sorry for me, but he was afraid that I would be sad, and it was always bad to brush my mind, so at that time he always didn't like rainy days, because when it rained, I was going to go to the rain, he would scold me, and he would ask a doctor. Su Yi said, mentioning her father, her eyebrows were opened, and there was a smile at the corners of her eyes.

Su Yi's words and smiles fell in Xing'er's eyes, but she felt very dazzling, and she said in a low voice: "You once said that you have a doctor at home who specializes in treating you, but I think it is because you have been in the rain since you were a child, and your father is worried that you will be sick, so he hired a special doctor." ”

"Well, I'm not in good health now, in fact, it has something to do with the rain when I was a child, and then when I grew up and knew my father's thoughts, I stopped getting in the rain, in fact, I still want to give it a try." Su Yi smiled slyly and said.

Xing'er glared at her and said, "Aren't you afraid of your father's scolding now?" As soon as these words came out, Deng Shi regretted a little, how could she advance her father in this stall.

Sure enough, I saw Su Yi's eyes were low, her face was full of loneliness and sadness, and she said abruptly: "I don't know when my father will come out to reunite with me?" ”

"Suyi." Apricot called out to her and reached out to hold her hand, only to feel cold in her hand.

"In fact, my father said a long time ago that as long as I do it for another two years, when I become a relative, he will resign and retire and enjoy the joy of family, but I didn't think about it...... Alas......" The last word seemed to come out of the heart, full of bitterness, which made people feel sad, Xing'er was a person who couldn't hide her words, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Suyi, Lord Shen is dead." ”

That is to say, when this sound, the night sky suddenly split a bolt of lightning, lightning and thunder, the wind raged, the windows were also swept back and forth by the wind, the raindrops of beans crackled and fell, Xing'er regretted this sentence, heard the thunder, her heart was relieved, she only said that the buzzing thunder covered her voice, who knew that Su Yi listened to it word for word, only to see her eyes suddenly widened, her eyes were full of shock, her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she muttered: "What did you say?" ”

It was obviously a question, but the tone was so sad and desolate, Xing'er regretted it in her heart, but she thought that sooner or later she would have to let her know, so she had to bite her lip and say, "Your father is gone, Suyi, you ...... You mourn and change. ”

I saw Su Yi looking at Xing'er in disbelief, she looked at Xing'er, but there was a blank look in her eyes, and as soon as her body was weak, she was about to fall, Xing'er hurriedly supported her and said softly: "Su Yi, don't be like this, you cheer up." ”

Su Yi pushed her away, turned around and rushed out of the door, Xing'er was hit by her coldly, stumbled a few steps, saw Su Yi rushing into the rain, Fang came back to his senses, picked up the oil-paper umbrella behind the door and followed out, but when she went out, where was Su Yi's shadow? I saw that the water curtain in front of me was vast and pitch black, but there was no one. was shocked at the moment, and was about to go out to look for it, but where did she go to find it alone, she immediately thought of going to find the fifth elder brother, but after walking a few steps and coming back to her senses, she walked to another residence, buckled the door, and saw a man with upright eyebrows open the door to greet him, this person is none other than the head of the imperial dining room - Qin Han, Qin Han was stunned when he saw Xing'er, and asked: "Xing'er, why are you here?" ”

I saw Xing'er said anxiously: "Su Yi is gone, you can help me find it!" ”

Qin Han was shocked, grabbed Xing'er's wrist and asked, "What's the matter?" How could it be gone? ”

Xing'er saw him holding his wrist, and wanted to say something to stop him, but now it was important to find someone, so she said: "Her father passed away, and she was sad when she heard the news and ran out, but this palace is so big, I don't even know the direction in which she is running, you can find a few more people to help find it!" ”

Qin Han was so anxious in his heart that he hurriedly rushed into the rain, took a few steps and walked back, and said, "In which direction did she go?" ”

Xing'er looked embarrassed and said, "She ran too fast, the night was dark and rainy, I didn't see clearly." ”

Qin Han's heart was cold, and he said again: "You go back to the house and wait, in case she comes back, you can come and inform us, I will take a few people to find it." It's just that the palace is strictly forbidden in the middle of the night, and she is afraid that she will meet someone who violates the palace ban and runs alone late at night is a big crime. ”

Xing'er was already anxious in her heart, but when she heard him say that at this moment, she was even more annoyed in her heart, blaming herself for not taking a good look at her? Why did you choose this time to tell her?

In the blink of an eye, Qin Han's figure had disappeared into the rain, and Xing'er had to walk back to her residence and wait.
