Hongtian jumped on the horse's back and stretched out his hand to Xing'er. Xing'er looked at the people on the side cautiously with her eyes, but saw that no one in her entourage dared to cast any gaze, and even Cheng Yun just calmly climbed onto the horse. Apricot took a deep breath and put her hand on his. With a slight pull, Hongsun pulled her onto the horse. Hands crossed her waist to pull the reins, and the bright voice rang in Xing'er's ears: "Sit tight."

The apricots are as thin as mosquitoes and flies. Hongyang smiled lowly: "Drive."

The horses galloped wildly. Xing'er was startled, leaned towards him again, and only heard Hongday's voice mixed with the wind: "The first time to ride a horse."

Apricot's voice trembled a little: "I've never sat on a horse."

"Don't be afraid ......"

The shrubs of the woods are rapidly disappearing backwards. The sky is full of smoke and haze, and the sky is rendered colorful. Apricot looked up to meet the golden rays of the sun, and the joy in her heart slowly amplified with the clouds overhead......

Balmy autumn day. Cinnamon fragrance.

Hongday sat at the table in the private room of the drunken wind building, bored and sipping tea. When he heard a knock on the door, he said, "Come in."

I saw Xing'er wearing a set of tender yellow dresses and walking briskly. She had a black lacquer plate in her hand. Two delicate pastries were placed on the plate. Seeing this, Hongtian hurriedly took the plate and put it on the table. Xing'er said, "This is what Su Yi did. She learned this craft from Master Su of Yipintang. You taste it."

"I've heard you say that Suyi has never seen her all day. What a holy place she is?" Hongyang took a piece of pastry and took a bite and said.

"It tastes good, isn't it?" Apricot asked expectantly.

Hongyang raised an eyebrow and nodded. Xing'er said: "Su Yi's father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. She is an official lady and her identity is different from ours. But she doesn't have the frame of a young lady and is kind and kind. The people in the Drunken Wind Building love her."

"It can be praised by the entire Drunken Wind Building, but it's not an ordinary person." Hongdaydao.

His eyes fell on her dress and said, "Didn't you say that we will go hunting in the mountains today. Why didn't you change your clothes?"

Xing'er's face suddenly darkened, and she said in embarrassment, "I don't have many clothes. Not even in riding clothes."

Hongtian froze for a while. said." Apricot ......"

"Never heard you mention your family. Your parents ......" Hiroshi hesitated.

Apricot bit her lip. He said, "I was an orphan and grew up in the nunnery. When he was six years old, the nunnery was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Moen, who raised me, also passed away as a result. Later I was sold by human traffickers to the estuary. Worked as an apprentice in a troupe for two years. Escaped a few times. Later, he fled to Yanshan and was sold into a large family as a maid. The owner of that house has a bad temper and always likes to punish his subordinates. Then I ran away again. With a group of refugees fled to the capital."

Apricot smiled. Then I went into the Drunken Wind Building. I have been a handyman for several years, and Master Jiang saw that I was smart and taught me the craft. I've only been a cook since last year......"

Her words were very brisk, but Hongday's heart was full of mixed feelings. He took her hand and called, "Apricot......"

Xing'er smiled: "It's all over......"

"Yes. It's all gone. No one will dare to bully you in the future." Hongtian looked at Xing'er's surprised eyes and said. From now on. I'm here to protect you. No one will hurt you anymore. No one will ever force you to do something you don't want to do."

"Fifth master......" Xing'er looked at him with surprise and joy.

"If I had known you fifteen years ago. and that you will be spared the afflictions of your childhood. If I had known you ten years ago. You will be spared the wind and frost of your childhood. If I had known you five years ago. You will not have to be troubled when you are young. But God told me to meet you now. Then I will spare you from misery for the rest of your life......" Hongtian said word by word.

Apricot looked at him. I just felt unbelievable. Such tenderness would almost drown her. There was a mist of water under her eyes. muttered, "Fifth Master......"

"Call me Ziyi......" Hongtian said.

Apricot leaned against his chest and sobbed quietly.

In front of the curtain, a pot of hosta flowers was placed on the plum blossom table, but it bloomed at this time. The stamens reveal a fragrant fragrance that fills the room. Her life is as bright and bright as this blooming flower. Those dim pasts will never be there again......

Red decay and emerald reduction. The cold wind is bleak.

It's almost late autumn. The business of the Drunken Wind House has also darkened a lot. Perhaps because of the cold weather, most people avoid the cold wind and are reluctant to go out.

A few customers in the store finally left one after another. Apricot rubbed her sore neck and walked out of the back kitchen. I was about to pour a cup of tea for myself, but I saw Su Yi running in in a panic. Xing'er was stunned: "Suyi." I saw that Su Yi was only wearing thin clothes, and she didn't even cover her cloak. The curled hair is also a little loose. There are still a few beads of sweat hanging faintly on the forehead. Xing'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but felt that her fingers were cold. I was even more worried: "What's wrong with you. How did you come over now. What about Miaoyu. I'm not going to add you a coat." She asked a lot of questions, but Suyi just gasped for air. Xing'er said again. Come with me to the kitchen to warm up."

Su Yi grabbed her sleeve and pleaded: "Xing'er. You're going to help me......"

"What's wrong. Something's wrong." Apricot is even more confused. Su Yi has never looked so embarrassed and flustered.

Su Yi said and tears fell: "Something happened to my father."

"Lord Shen. What's wrong with him." Apricot was surprised.

"Apricot. Go and beg the fifth brother for me to let me see my father. My dad was wronged."

"Suyi. Don't worry. You speak slowly." Apricot pulled her to sit on a chair and poured her a glass of water.

Su Yi choked up and said, "The people from the Criminal Department arrested my father. said that my father was corrupt and took bribes and disregarded people's lives. But my father was wronged."

"Lord Shen is an honest official, how can he be corrupt and take bribes." Apricot also doesn't believe it.

"I don't know...... I don't know who wanted to kill my dad." Su Yi said sadly. Jing Han has already gone to various prefectures to inquire about the news of this case. But apricots. I can't help it. My father never allowed me to ask about him. I don't know who can help him in the officialdom. I can only come and beg you. You go and beg the fifth elder brother, okay?"

Apricot held her hand soothingly: "Don't worry. Tomorrow, the fifth elder brother is here, and I will ask for you."

Su Yi nodded. Say gratefully, "Thank you. Apricots."

"Xiao Ningzi said that you are in a hurry to find me. Why are you in such a hurry?" Hongtian pushed the door in, saw Xing'er greet her, and asked.

"Something happened to Suyi's father." Apricot said. Can you help Lord Shen Weizhong?"

Hongyang smiled lightly: "You are here for Suyi's business. I thought something had happened to you......"

"Lord Shen's affairs are indeed tricky. The officials below have been biting that he instructed it. And the copy still has his private seal and signature. Huang Ama has always hated corruption and bribery. In addition, human lives are involved, so the case has been transferred to Dali Temple for trial."

"But Lord Shen is an upright person, and he shouldn't have done such a thing. He must have been wronged......" Apricot said.

Hongli couldn't help but smile: "The so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts. How do you know that he must have been wronged?"

"I ......" Apricot said. He also said: "I have a good relationship with Suyi. Occasionally, I will go to Shen Mansion and sometimes stay overnight in Shen Mansion. Lord Shen is kind and kind, and he definitely doesn't look like a vicious person who will careless of people's lives."

"I also have occasional negotiations with Lord Shen. I also think there's something strange about this. However, the case has been handed over to the fourth brother for trial. I just want to help Lord Shen, and I can't do anything in front of the evidence." Hongtian took a sip of tea and said.

"But what about Suyi." Apricot couldn't help but worry." Su Yi lost her mother when she was a child. How sad it must be for Lord Shen to be in prison alone."

Hongday's face gradually became solemn. He called, "Apricot ......"

"Hmm."

"Once Lord Shen's case is confirmed, then Su Yi will be implicated......"

"What do you mean?"

"Once Lord Shen is convicted. Then Su Yi became the daughter of a criminal minister. According to the law, he will be punished to serve in the Xinzheku." Hongdaydao.

"How so." Apricot couldn't believe it.

"Even if Lord Shen commits a crime, what does it have to do with Su Yi. She's just a woman......" Apricot asked.

"If it were an ordinary bribery, it wouldn't be so serious. However, this case is widely implicated. The whole expedition is involved. Emperor Ama Longyan was furious and will be severely punished." Hongtian said again.

Seeing the worry on Xing'er's face, he comforted. You don't have to worry. The case is still under investigation. But ......"

"But what." Apricot asked.

"If in a few days Su Yi enters the palace to serve. Then you ......"

"Is there a way for me to go with her to the Xinzheku?" Apricot said.

"You're going to the Xinzheku." Hongdaydao.

"Hmm." Apricot nodded. I know you've been struggling with how to get me into the palace. I think Suyi's matter is an opportunity, as long as I enter the palace, then we can see each other from time to time."

Hongyang took her into his arms: "The palace is not as comfortable as the drunken wind building. You have to think clearly. Although I really want you to enter the palace. But the library is not a good place to go. I want to put you next to my mother. But she can't accept you now......"

Xing'er stretched out her little hand against his lips and smiled lightly: "I know your difficulties. That's why I want to enter the Xinzhi Library. One is for you. The second is also for Suyi. Although she has a good personality, she is too weak and does not know people's hearts, and if she enters the palace, she is afraid that she will suffer a lot. I can be with her and I can be with her."

Hongtian listened to her words, and he was full of concern for Su Yi, and he only thanked her for her kindness, and even the light smile on the corner of her lips felt very moving. Leaning over, he landed a light kiss on her forehead: "Apricot. I'm not going to make you suffer."

Apricot blushed and wrapped her arms around his waist.

The promise at that time must have come from the bottom of my heart. From the bottom of my heart. But the world is easy to move. The human heart is fickle. At that time, how could the mountains and seas swear withstand the flow of time. Flowers are becoming more and more charming. In that field of flowers, you can remember the apricot blossom that blooms only for you. You can still find her traces.

If life is only as it first sees. What is the autumn wind sad painting fan.

Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts. But the old way is that people's hearts are fickle.

Lishan language is half a night. The night rain bell will not complain.

What a good brocade dress. Wishing on the day of the wings.
