The carriage was on the street, turned its head and headed in the direction of Poplar Alley. I saw a mansion in the distance that occupied half of the street, still imposing, as if everything was the same as before.

There is a sign crooked on the side in front of him, and the large characters on the gilt black background read: "Ejugation Qingguo Mansion". Half of the sign was broken and discarded in front of the house. Only the two stone lions are still as before, with their fangs open to guard the mansion.

The vermilion gate was tightly closed and sealed. The bright tiles on the wall, the light reflected in the warm sun stinged Shen Qingfeng's eyes, and tears came down unconsciously.

Yang Qin opened the curtain and stared at this former home, refusing to blink. I'm afraid that the next moment, the majestic Qingguo Mansion will disappear in front of me.

The carriage kept moving forward, turning around the southeast corner. Shen Qingfeng's voice came from inside the carriage and said, "Stop." ”

There are very few shops here, so there are not many people passing by on weekdays. There is only a small shop on the corner with a sign: "Zhu Ji Lotus Leaf Chicken". There is no business, and a lonely couple is busy.

The carriage came to a halt. Shen Qingfeng got out of the car. Occasionally, a few people around watched with some curiosity as the bejeweled lady got out of the minimalist carriage.

Shen Qingfeng instructed the coachman: "You go there and buy two lotus leaf chickens, and I'll look around and come back." ”

The opposite door of Zhu Ji's lotus leaf chicken shop is the side door of the Qingguo Mansion, and the main entrance has been sealed. Shen Qingfeng wanted to go in, so he could only enter through the side door here.

Yang Qin hesitated a little, "Princess, the inside is already full of devastation and ruins. Going in will only increase sadness, so why bother? ”

"You wait for me at the door, and I'll be back in a moment." Shen Qingfeng was very persistent.

Shen Qingfeng turned around and entered the side door of the Qingguo Mansion, and his eyes were in a mess. There are also traces of fire.

There were still some broken stools and broken dishes on the yellow lawn. Several tattered garments were stained with black marks.

The warm sun is shining down, and the snow on it has not yet melted. A bright light went straight into Shen Qingfeng's heart, and the tears in the corners of his eyes fell to the ground like beads with broken threads.

Shen Qingfeng vaguely remembered that the original houses and pavilions were staggered in these four directions. There are also stacked mountains and chiseled ponds, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the forests are luxuriant, and the stacked stone tree peaks. It is very elegant and simple, tortuous and deep.

Now the walls are ruined, and the trees have long since withered. The winding path used to be quiet, but now it looks a little wistful and becomes eerie.

The more Shen Qingfeng walked inside, the more frightened he felt. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the appearance of the palace guards coming to raid the house that night. No one heeded their cries and begs for mercy.

No one can escape all this, and it will be all destroyed in an instant.

Only on the broken eaves of the windowsill, the appearance of half a year ago can still be faintly seen. The four corners are stretched out, like a bird spreading its wings, light and lively.

In half a year, the famous Qingguo Mansion has become a ghost house, and the court did not dare to mention the case of the Qingguo Mansion easily. For fear of angering the emperor, he will become a wisp of grievance like those scholars who once died for the Qingguo Mansion.

The Qingguo Mansion, the head of the heavenly officials, no longer exists.

Turn the backyard, and it is Luoxia Pavilion. It was the courtyard where she lived in the Qingguo Mansion, and a peach tree at the door was already higher than the courtyard gate.

Did her cousin plant it for her, or did she choose the best peach. The branches of the tree were bare, but they stood tall. If you see it blossom and bear fruit in a few months, my cousin said that he would make a swing under the peach tree.

But that's gone.

With a "squeak", the door of Luoxia Pavilion was opened from the inside.

Ling Rui pushed open the door, and was caught off guard when he saw Shen Qingfeng, whose face was full of tears, standing in front of him. Obviously, Shen Qingfeng was also taken aback.

"Prince Ling Rui, why are you here?" Shen Qingfeng asked in surprise, and went to the sleeve cage to take out the handkerchief. I really didn't expect that such a down-and-out side of myself would be seen by this evil prince.

Damn it! At the critical time, I couldn't even find a handkerchief to wipe my tears.

Suddenly, Shen Qingfeng had a knuckled hand in front of him, and there was a plain white handkerchief in it.

Looking up, Ling Rui was waiting for her to receive the veil. Shen Qingfeng hesitated for a moment but still took it in his hand and cleaned himself up.

I didn't expect it to be so unfortunate that I just happened to run into Prince Ling Rui.

"Why was the Qingguo Mansion raided? I'm far away in Daliang, and it's been three months since I found out. It's too late to say anything. ”

Prince Ling Rui's expression was very strange, very regretful, and very sad. It stands to reason that he is the crown prince of Daliang and has nothing to do with the Qingguo Mansion.

Shen Qingfeng looked at Ling Rui curiously and said, "Why did Prince Ling Rui suddenly care about Duke Qingguo, the ,,。 ”

Suddenly, he was attracted by a folding fan in his hand. I felt like a thunderbolt and stayed there. One finger pointed at the folding fan in Ling Rui's hand, and the words in his mouth could no longer be spoken.

There are still folding fans in the winter, and there should be only Prince Ling Rui in the whole world.

But Shen Qingfeng is not because of this. But there are two lines of words in the very ordinary fan in his hand, which read: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud." ”

The above half sentence is free and easy. It is also more powerful and calm, and the pen is sharp. There is the breath of a sword on the outside, and the color of gold and stone on the inside, which is obviously the handwriting of a man.

Then what really touched Shen Qingfeng's heart was the second half of the sentence. The writing is smooth, the font is round and hidden, and the middle palace is restrained. It seems to be a cloud, but it is like flowing water. It was the handwriting of her mother He Min, but it appeared in the hands of Prince Liang Lingrui.

It's still a naked love poem.

It's no wonder that Shen Qingfeng was hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Qingguo Mansion is the head of the literati in Yandu, and the children of the clan are very strict, so the children have always been like a breeze and a moon, and they are the objects of admiration in the minds of the literati of Yandu.

And Shen Qingfeng's mother is the only concubine of the Qingguo Mansion, so she is naturally knowledgeable, gentle and generous. How could there be a vestige of his mother in the hands of Prince Daliang.

"You, where did this fan come from?" Shen Qingfeng asked suspiciously.

Ling Rui unfolded his fan with a snap, and pointed the side with the word towards Shen Qingfeng. Said: "Gift from my father." ”

"So, whose handwriting is there?"

"Naturally, my father. Below this is my mother's handwriting. How can Princess Qin have any advice? Ling Rui restrained his smile and looked at Shen Qingfeng with a bit of seriousness in his eyes.

After all, not everyone can accept their bizarre background.

"Who is your mother?"

Shen Qingfeng wanted to ask the answer she wanted the most in one breath, and there was an answer in her heart to tell her the truth.

"My father ascended the throne eighteen years ago. According to the Great Liang ritual system, the new emperor must first experience the suffering of the world. Only by inspecting the local people can you have the heart of a benevolent monarch. When I was inspecting the land of Chencang, I met my mother. It's just that my mother fell ill and died after giving birth to me. ”

Shen Qingfeng remembers that her mother would make two fans by herself every year, one of which was a folding fan. There is also a flower silk fan, which my mother usually keeps for herself, and often thinks about the fan.

But he has always respected his father Shen Nanshan, and Shen Qingfeng thought that was the way for husband and wife to get along.

"I heard that Prince Ling Rui was born to the deceased Concubine Min." Shen Qingfeng couldn't believe it.

But she knew that her mother had been separated once when she moved from her hometown to the capital 18 years ago. For this grandfather blamed himself, and he turned white overnight.

"It's just for the sake of this prince, who can rightfully become the prince of Daliang. Only my father and I know that my mother's name is He Min, and she is the most noble lady in the Yandu Qingguo Mansion. It's also a person who can't stay around. Ling Rui stared at her, as if he was looking at another person through her.

"You, your mother's name is He Min? Then I'm ,,,"

Shen Qingfeng's fingers couldn't help but tremble, how could this be?

Ling Rui's hot eyes seemed to burn her. She felt so hot that her heart was frozen. I didn't know how to speak for a while.

Ling Rui held her outstretched fingers in the palm of her hand, and slowly spoke: "Mother Concubine He Min left Daliang for the sake of her family. He also left me and my father, and was pregnant when he left. So you,"

All the answers don't need to be said again.

Shen Qingfeng only felt that the strength in his body seemed to be pumped, and he stood in a daze for a long time. This thunderous news made her indigestible for a while.

"When I heard the news that the Qingguo Mansion was raided, it was already three months later. My father and I can't do anything. ”

Ling Rui's eyes turned red. thought that after experiencing life and separation, he could reunite his family through hard work. I didn't expect to die so soon.

When he came to Yandu again after taking care of the big beams, he heard that Shen Qingfeng had been given a marriage to marry the King of Qin.

After a while, Shen Qingfeng came to his senses. asked, "Then why did you come to Yandu?" ”

"Even if the concubine is dead, I should come and see it. What's more, you're still in Yandu, aren't you? Ling Rui's sadness subsided in an instant.

As the crown prince of Daliang, he knows too well the importance of being happy and angry. I also knew that sadness wouldn't solve anything, so I quickly restrained my emotions.

Shen Qingfeng seemed to mutter: "That's the case, you said that you took me to Daliang." ”

She had never thought deeply about Ling Rui's intentions, even if she knew that the prince of a country could not be naïve enough to fall in love with a foreign woman at first sight.

"Since your mother and daughter left Daliang, my father has missed you very much. Because of overwork, my health has been bad. This year is getting colder and colder, and I linger in Yandu. I don't have time to take care of my father. Do you want to go to Daliang? Father misses you very much. ”

Ling Rui asked her in a coaxing tone.

"Father? I,,I,,"

This word is too foreign to her. Her biological father is not Shen Nanshan, which is too unbelievable, she can't accept this thunderbolt for a while.
