Governor's Mansion.

It is not as gorgeous as the General's Palace, and it is not as noble as the Imperial Palace.

According to the palace rules, the show girl of Chu Xiu Palace is not allowed to be taken out of the palace, but a show girl died this morning, Hao Zhe claimed to have taken away the murderer of her daughter, and there were the queen's servants to testify, and the guards guarding the palace gate were not easy to obstruct.

Du Wei Haozhe's eldest daughter Pei Shan was born to the previous wife, and I heard that when Pei Shan was young, her biological mother unfortunately died of illness, and Pei Shan was raised by the grandmother of the family.

After her grandmother died of old age, Pei Shan lived alone in the house, fighting wits and courage with the three wives her father remarried, and dealing with the other younger siblings born to her father.

Along the way, Haozhe babbled about Pei Shan's life experience, and the entourage couldn't bear to see him so sad, and said with relief: "Lord Duwei, Miss Pei Shan has left, please mourn." Fortunately, there are two young ladies and two sons in our house, if the emperor asks to send another show girl into the palace......"

"No!" Haozhe vetoed, his eyes like copper bells widened, "I will never send my daughter to death again!" The loss of a Pei Shan has made my heart ache, and I have to choose the right family for the rest of the children, marry a wife or marry someone. As soon as I entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea, and my status in the previous dynasty was not high, and I could not protect the children's integrity at all. ”

The attendant nodded: "Yes, Lord Du Wei is really a loving father, I believe that both the young lady and the son can understand your hard work." ”

After saying that, the attendant glanced at Tang Anxia sitting in the carriage behind him, and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Lord Duwei, what are you going to do with the second miss of the Tang family?" Even if she is really a murderer, the queen intends to use your hand to get rid of her. However, after all, she is the daughter of a general, and I heard that she has a great relationship with Prince Wen, and she has a good relationship with the eldest prince. ”

Haozhe looked calm, riding on the back of a staggering horse, as steady as Mount Tai, and spitted: "Hmph, I don't understand the queen's mind, if these two young ladies don't climb the high branches of the eldest prince, they won't be killed." As for Pei Shan's death, it shouldn't have been her doing, how could a woman who can maneuver between Prince Wen and the eldest prince kill the show girl in the palace because of a trivial matter? This is a strange thing. ”

Arrived at the mansion.

Haozhe was worried that someone was secretly watching, so he asked people to hold Tang Anxia's arms and escort her into the mansion.

In the main hall, Pei Shan lay quietly and peacefully in the coffin, her eyes closed, changed into clean and neat clothes, and the body was surrounded by white and yellow chrysanthemums.

On the table in front of you is an incense burner, as well as two plates of sweets and two sake.

Entering the hall, Haozhe raised his hand and motioned for the attendants to retreat, and they willingly let go of the palm that imprisoned Tang Anxia.

"Go down, all of you." Haozhe said to the slave maid who guarded the spirit and the young lady in the house.

"Yes." Everyone dressed in filial piety clothes left the main hall one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only Tang Anxia and Haozhe were left in the mourning hall.

Tang Anxia slowly walked to the coffin, lit a stick of incense, and bowed to Pei Shan three times.

Instead, she said calmly: "Lord Duwei, on the way here, you didn't let me parade through the streets, but chose to let me ride in a carriage, covering my face, leaving me room to see that you believe that I am innocent." All the way I thought, why don't you make a deal with me? ”

"Oh?" Haozhe was very surprised, Tang Anxia was so young that he dared to speak to the ministers of the court like this.

Tang Anxia politely blessed his body: "Lord Duwei, you let me go and help me return to Chuxiu Palace." I promise to find the murderer of Pei Shan, and return my innocence and justice to you. ”

Haozhe sat down with his sleeves brushed up, took a sip of the teacup, raised his eyelids and looked directly at Tang Anxia: "Why should I believe your words?" The queen mother said herself, you are the murderer, if I let you go back, wouldn't it be against the queen? ”

Tang Anxia's face was like a flower of spring dawn, his eyes flashed with the light of glass, and he said loudly: "The person who really opposes the queen is actually the eldest prince." However, I don't plan to become the princess, and try not to involve the eldest prince in this matter, lest I owe him another favor. ”

Haozhe was stunned, which show girl doesn't want to be the prince's concubine!? Especially the talented and suave prince, his grandfather is Taifu Yang Qing, his mother is Concubine Shu of the harem, and he is the eldest son of the emperor.

Hao Zhe couldn't help but wonder: "I can't compete with the queen, if you can't let the eldest prince help you, is there anyone else?" ”

Tang Anxia spit out three words: "Prince Wen." ”

Haozhe was stunned, secretly admired the woman in front of him in his heart, and sneered: "You are young, but you have a lot of thoughts!" I heard that you and Prince Wen were childhood sweethearts, and it doesn't seem to be a simple relationship. Anyway, I'm not interested in you male and female lovers, you stay in the guest room of the mansion for the time being, let me think about it for a few days, and by the way, see the movements of the queen and your father, and then decide whether to let you go." ”

"Okay." Tang Anxia responded happily, raised her eyes, her fluttering face made her breath tight, and she asked, "My lord, will you kill me?" Would you still kill me even if you knew I wasn't the murderer? ”

Haozhe hesitated for a moment, his cheeks full of vicissitudes of life showed maturity and calmness in line with his age, and said calmly: "I am an official in the court, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and it is inevitable that I will be involuntarily. You are smart and shrewd, and you should understand a truth, the more we stand tall, the easier it is to be driven by interests. Even ordinary people can't do what they want, if I am oppressed by the powerful, in order to protect myself, of course I will kill you. However, Pei Shan's revenge must also be avenged, the other party is not simply killing her, there must be other purposes, and sooner or later it will come to light. ”

Tang Anxia stopped talking, and she suddenly felt that Haozhe was not a sinister person.

Late at night, Tang Anxia lay on the bed in the guest room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

According to the plan, Yuhua should have secretly escaped from the palace at the time of the third watch, sneaked into Prince Wen's mansion, and informed Li Junqi that he had been framed.

Tang Anxia believed that with Li Junqi's cleverness and wisdom, he could know that she was sent to the Governor's Mansion.

Just, what's next? She is now under house arrest, unfortunately she will be killed, she can't contact anyone, she can't do anything.

"You can't sit still." Tang Anxia turned over and sat up, muttering to herself, "Instead of relying on others to save me, it is better to save myself." Only you can rely on yourself! ”

She looked around the room, simple and unpretentious, not even a bronze mirror or dresser, only an ordinary table, and two worn-out chairs, and the bed where she slept.

Tang Anxia's gaze finally fell on the faltering candlelight on the table, and the candles in the candlestick were burning, emitting a slight light.

Tang Anxia put on his shoes, put on his clothes, walked to the table, and held up the candlestick with both hands, which was a little hot.

Enduring the scorching heat of her palms, she slowly walked back to the bed, took a deep breath, and threw the candlestick onto the bed!

The candle fell out of the candlestick and rolled down to the quilt, and the flame tilted, as if mad, and scurried around, devouring the whole bed with impunity.
