Xiao Tian smiled faintly and said, "I don't dare to believe the master of Jinzhai. ”

"Last year, I was hunted down and killed in Wanqi Valley and Jianning Temple, and I almost lost my life, if it weren't for my luck, the master of Jinzhai wouldn't have needed to send Senior Brother Xu over this time."

Xiao Tian's words are meaningful, which means that if he died at that time, Taichuzhai would have been taken down by Jinjiazhai at that time.

"......" Xu Dajian is most afraid of Xiao Tian mentioning this matter. It was he who revealed Xiao Tian's whereabouts to the owner of Jinzhai at the beginning, and Xiao Tian was assassinated repeatedly.

Could it be that Xiao Tian had already guessed that it was him?!

No way?

If Xiao Tian knew, shouldn't he have to settle accounts with himself after he returned to Taichuzhai safely in October last year? ! Why did he let himself take away a group of subordinates at that time, didn't that weaken the strength of Taichuzhai in vain?

That's right, Xiao Tian must not know.

Xu Dajian said to himself in his heart, otherwise, it would be impossible for Xiao Tian to let himself go.

Thinking about it, Xu Dajian's expression was more natural, and he continued to persuade: "Senior brother, this time and that time. ”

"At that time, the master of Jinzhai was also provoked by others, thinking that his junior brother had ill intentions towards Jinjiazhai, and now the master of Jinzhai has killed the person who provoked it."

In the future, Jinjiazhai and Taichuzhai are like brothers, with one fate. If the junior brother still has doubts, the master of Jinzhai said that he is willing to set up a note to show his sincerity. ”

Xiao Tian slowly touched his chin, as if he was groaning.

After a while, he said slowly: "Senior Brother Xu, if the Lord of Jinzhai is really sincere, then let him come and talk to me in person." ”

"Even if you and I want to cooperate, how to divide it after winning Jinju, we have to make it clear, so that I don't have to work in vain."

"Did you say?"

"......" Xu Dajian's pupils shrank, and his eyes flickered. He didn't dare to agree to this casually for the owner of Jinzhai.

A gust of wind blew violently, crackling the branches around the trees and rolling in the dust.

Today's wind is a little strong, and the sun is very bright, and the sun is warm.

This is true of Jinju, and so is the capital of Beijing, which has been cloudy for several days.

Duanmu Fei was nesting in the house to do embroidery, and after embroidering the last stitch, she cut the thread and smiled beautifully.

"These shoes are so beautifully made!" She boasted to herself.

The cicadas and pothos on the side glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

To tell the truth, the shoes of the four girls are indeed beautiful, the delphinium embroidered on the tip of the shoe is lifelike, as if it is about to fly out of the upper of the shoe, and the pointed beak also has a big red peony flower.

Bi Chan smiled and joked: "Fourth girl, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will definitely like it." ”

The embroidered shoes on Duanmufei's hand were specially made for the day of the confession.

Originally, when recognizing relatives after marriage, the woman had to make a lot of her own embroidered objects for the man's relatives, such as shoes, wiping forehead, handkerchiefs, etc., but Duanmu Fei is different, after the wedding, she is the queen of Dasheng, except for Anping, no one has the blessing to receive the embroidery she made by herself.

At this moment, Jin Se lifted the curtain and entered the second room, walked to Duanmu Fei and said, "Fourth girl, Mr. Qi and Mr. Zhong ask to meet." ”

Duanmu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, and then understood why the two of them came.

"Let's take people to the Hall of Truth." Duanmu Fei commanded.

"Yes, girl." Jin Se hurriedly retreated.

Duanmu scarlet slightly straightened his clothes, added an extra jasper plum hairpin between the buns, and took the cicada to the Zhenqu Hall at the front of the inner courtyard to meet the guests.

When Duanmufei arrived at the Zhenqu Hall, Qi and Zhong Yu had already sat down inside, and the maid also served them tea and treated them as guests.

Although Duanmu Fei always likes to skip class, and she has not been to Huilan Garden many times in total, she still respects the Qi family very much, and greeted each other with a smile.

Qi said with a smile: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing recently?" ”

Bi Chan tried hard to hold back her laughter, and always felt that Mr. Qi's implication was that the girl hadn't gone to the girls' school for a long time.

Duanmu Fei didn't think about it so much, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Qi for your concern, you see, I have gained a lot of weight." ”

Qi Shi was amused by the little girl, "I have drawn several pictures of spring scenery recently, when will the girl come to Huilan Garden and help me comment a few words." ”

As he spoke, Duanmu's eyes lit up, "Mr. Qi, I just drew a peony picture recently, do you want to see it?" ”

Qi thought that the little girl had been busy preparing for the big wedding recently, and she was afraid that she would have no time to paint, so she unexpectedly raised her eyebrows and lowered her chin.

There was no need for Duanmu Fei to order, Jin Se quit the True Fun Hall with a very eye-catching look and went back to Zhanqing Courtyard to get paintings.

While the two were talking, Zhong Yu looked at Qi from time to time, with a little eagerness.

Qi sighed lightly and immediately got to the point: "Fourth girl Duanmu, Zhong Yu and I took the liberty to visit today, in fact, I wanted to inquire about Miss Fu. ”

Qi's expression was a little complicated. She also had no one else to support, so she thought of Duanmufei.

In fact, they knew a few days ago that the entire Fu family had been taken down and imprisoned, including Fu Yingxuan.

At that time, Zhong Yu was in a hurry.

She was anxious to inquire around, only to hear that Fu Yingxuan was involved in the Yang family's rebellion case, which affected the whole family.

But what is the matter, Zhong Yu doesn't know.

Qi Shi saw Zhong Yu scurrying around like a headless fly, and quickly stopped her.

After the peony banquet in the princess's mansion, the Yang family's rebellion case set off an uproar in the capital, and several families such as the Fu family and the Feng family were implicated in the rebellion case, which made the people in Beijing panic and the situation was chaotic.

The Fu family was involved in a rebellion case, which was a big crime that affected the nine clans, and it was not trivial.

Qi's family has been friends with Zhong Yu for decades, for fear that Zhong Yu will fold herself in for Fu Yingxuan's apprentice, and persuaded her several times, but Zhong Yu just can't let go of Fu Yingxuan.

Therefore, Qi took the initiative to ask her to come to Duanmu Fei to ask about the situation.

Originally, the Qi family planned to come alone, but Zhong Yu had to come with her, saying that it was difficult for her to wait alone.

Qi can also understand Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu has been in love with Qin all her life, she only has Qin and a few apprentices in her heart, and her temperament is simple and persistent, just like the Qi family in the past, the Qi family once regarded Zhang Ruoling as a daughter and loved her, and she couldn't wait to put all her maternal love on her.

Zhong Yu regards Fu Yingxuan as his own daughter, and now that Fu Yingxuan has an accident, it is impossible for Zhong Yu to ignore it.

Duanmu also knows this.

"Please let the girl know!" Zhong Yu looked at Duanmu Fei with a sincere face, his eyes burning.

Zhong Yu is really anxious.

She looked a lot haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight, and it could be seen from the green shadow in her eye sockets that she hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, and she had been worrying and running for Fu Yingxuan's affairs.

"Mr. Qi, Mr. Zhong, Yang Xuyao intends to rebel, the crime is unforgivable, and Fu Yingxuan is an accomplice, the evidence is conclusive, and the Fu family is burdened by it." Duanmu Fei said it directly.

Although she and Zhong Yu don't get along well, Zhong Yu always looks at her with a little disapproval, but Duanmufei doesn't care, she is not a gold ingot, where can everyone like her.

Whether people can get along well depends on fate.

But Zhong Yu is not a bad person, so Duanmu Fei is also patient with her.

Really. Regarding Duanmufei's answer, Qi was not surprised. She had already guessed that Fu Yingxuan's affairs were afraid that there was no room for turnaround, and today's trip was to make Zhong Yu die.

Zhong Yu poured out his heart and lungs to deal with Yingxuan, and asked for nothing else, but unfortunately Fu Yingxuan was not worthy of Zhong Yu's effort.

"Accomplice? Duanmu Fourth Girl, Ying Xuan, what did she do? Zhong Yu's pupils shrank, and his face turned three points pale.

She muttered in disbelief, "No." Ying Xuan wouldn't do that, she's a good boy. Is there something wrong? She looked dazed, as if she was muttering to herself.

In Zhong Yu's mind, Fu Yingxuan has always been the nine-year-old girl at the beginning, innocent and full of enthusiasm for the piano.

At that time, the little girl knelt in front of her, knelt respectfully to herself, and said to herself with a sincere face: "Sir, I will learn the piano hard, even if I can't be blue, I will never insult Mr!" ”

And that's exactly what she did when she was learning from her own disciples.

She was the youngest of several apprentices, and she was also the most outstanding and diligent one, and she had at least seven or eight points of her own attainment. She is still young, and when she reaches her age, she has a bright future.

Zhong Yu has always had high hopes for Ying Xuan.

Duanmufei didn't explain again, and asked solemnly, "Mr. Zhong, what do you think of Fu Yingxuan?" ”

Zhong Yu looked at Duanmu Fei in confusion.

Duanmu Fei and Zhong Yu looked at each other, and their black and white eyes were like a clear mirror.

She asked again: "Mr. Zhong, ask yourself, did you really not find anything wrong with Fu Yingxuan?" ”

"You're just lying to yourself."

"You are the closest to her, like a mother and daughter, Fu Yingxuan can hide it from others, but she can't hide it from you, you have already noticed it, but you have always been unwilling to admit it."

Qi sighed in her heart when she heard this, Duanmu Fei actually said what was in her heart, because she and Zhong Yu were close friends, and some things were not easy to say.

Duanmufei continued: "You think you know Fu Yingxuan, and you think you can let Fu Yingxuan go the way you want her to go, but is this Fu Yingxuan's hope?!" ”

"Fu Yingxuan has changed a long time ago!"

"......" Zhong Yu's face became paler and paler, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were chaotic, and a bitter taste spread from his heart to his limbs.

The truth is often a stinger.

As Duanmu Fei said, since he saw Fu Yingxuan who escaped from Jingxin Nunnery again more than a year ago, Zhong Yu felt that Fu Yingxuan had changed a little, and he had become different from when he was in Jiangnan before.

She became deep, she became sophisticated, she became less pure......

You can hear these from the tunes she has been making in the past few months.

Fu Yingxuan has changed, Zhong Yu obviously found out, but he has been reluctant to admit it.

She felt that Fu Yingxuan had suffered for so many years in Jingxin Nunnery, and in that difficult environment, her heart would inevitably be affected. As long as she guides her more, with this child's intelligence, she will soon wake up and turn back into the Fu Yingxuan who loved the piano and cherished the piano.

Zhong Yu once persuaded Fu Yingxuan, persuaded her to be open-minded, persuaded her to stop dwelling on the past, and persuaded her to stop selling the song to the land of fireworks.

Fu Yingxuan's mouth should be returned, but it is yang and yin.

Zhong Yu gave Fu Yingxuan a chance again and again, but Fu Yingxuan disappointed her again and again.

The bitterness in Zhong Yu's heart was so thick that it was about to overflow.

Since the Lantern Festival, Fu Yingxuan has been going out early and returning late, Zhong Yu felt wrong, and asked her a few times to let her tell herself any difficulties, but every time Fu Yingxuan just casually perfunctory herself, and later entered the Qingping Office despite her own opposition.

After that, Fu Yingxuan became more and more impatient with herself day by day, and she didn't even bother to be perfunctory, always saying that she was busy, and sometimes, she didn't see anyone for several days, and every time the excuse was that the Qingping Department was busy.

For today's Fu Yingxuan, what she loves is not the piano, the piano is just a tool in her hand to achieve her goals.

Zhong Yu has been obsessed with the piano for decades, and he doesn't understand the world, but he can't even feel it.

During these days, Zhong Yu has been evading.

She never wanted to believe that the little girl who simply loved the Aegean in her memory had become so much, so quickly, into a person she didn't know at all.

At this moment, Duanmu Fei directly tore apart the side that Zhong Yu didn't want to admit, so that she had to face the cruel truth.

Zhong Yu closed her eyes, her expression was bitter, her eyes were dim, and she looked even more haggard, but it was just a cup of tea, and she seemed to be several years old all of a sudden.

Her pale lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything after all. What else could she say?!

The Qi family next to him drank tea silently.

It hurts to tear open a wound, but it's better than letting the wound suppurate in an invisible place.

To put it mildly, with her and Zhong Yu's age and experience, what can't you think of!

Duanmu Fei said calmly: "Mr. Zhong, the next case of the Fu family will be tried by the three divisions." If the gentleman wishes, he can go to the court to hear the trial. ”

If there are others, it is useless to say more, this is a matter between Zhong Yu and Fu Yingxuan, it is better to let Zhong Yu verify it by himself and face it by himself.

Zhong Yu took two deep breaths, his mood quickly stabilized a lot, and his eyes also settled, deep and bright.

She stood up elegantly and solemnly saluted Duanmu Fei: "Fourth Duanmu girl, thank you." ”

Duanmu Fei avoided it, and returned the other party's half-salute decently: "Mr. is polite." ”

No matter how she said it, she is also a student of the women's school, Zhong Yu is her husband, an elder, how can Duanmu Fei accept the other party's courtesy.

"......" Zhong Yu looked at Duanmu Fei with some surprise, and his expression became more complicated.

Qi smiled and said, "Ah Yu, if you really have the heart to thank Miss Duanmu, you might as well give her a few rare music scores." ”

Duanmu Fei also smiled, his eyebrows were crooked, and he nodded: "Those who know me, Mr. Qi too!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and even Zhong Yu, who was originally restrained, relaxed a lot and was busy.

Duanmufei and Zhong Yu both sat back again, and at this time, Jin Se came back with Duanmufei's peony picture, and the topic of Fu Yingxuan ended here.

The three of them enjoyed the painting and drank tea together, and after that, Qi and Zhong Yu did not stay for long, and took the initiative to leave very interestingly.

Duanmu Fei instructed Bi Chan to send them for her.

When the carriage slowly drove out of the Muguo Mansion, Zhong Yu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said to the Qi family: "Ruoyun, you are right. I shouldn't be blind. ”

Because of Fu Yingxuan, she has been prejudiced against Duanmu Fei over the years, so that she is blind.

Qi smiled slightly, his expression was gentle, and he gently patted Zhong Yu's shoulder, "Ah Yu, that girl looks at a small person, and her heart and vision are me, and she is ashamed of herself." She has always been open-minded and transparent, and she also sees you as a gentleman, so she will say that. ”

Zhong Yu also understands this. Otherwise, Duanmu Feida could have sent them away casually today, so why bother arranging for her to go to the trial.

When he let go of his previous prejudices and looked at Duanmu Fei from a different angle, Zhong Yu found that he was really wrong before.

Their carriage drove faster and faster to the shouting of the grooms, and only the chaotic sound of horses' hooves echoed in their ears.

In the carriage, there was silence.

Zhong Yu's slender and powerful fingers clutched the handkerchief and was silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Zhong Yu said slowly: "Ruoyun, I really don't want to believe that Yingxuan has changed so much." ”

"In the past, when I was in Jiangnan, Yingxuan was obsessed with the piano and had no distractions, and often played the piano, talked about the piano, and composed music with me."

"In order to play a song well, she will forget to sleep and eat, and her fingers will grind out thick calluses."

"In order to make up for a broken song, she will figure it out repeatedly, ask for advice everywhere, and talk with me at night."

“……”

Recalling the past, Zhong Yu's eyes flickered, until this moment, she still didn't want to believe that the former Fu Yingxuan would become what she is now.

Qi sighed, knowing that Zhong Yu was actually just venting the depression in his heart, so he didn't persuade her, but said, "When the hall opens, you can see it with your own eyes." ”

Zhong Yu nodded silently and picked up the teacup in his hand.

She will definitely go, if she doesn't see it with her own eyes, she always has a trace of luck in her heart, always wondering if all this will be a misunderstanding...... Or, Yingxuan, has she been deceived?

While the two were talking, the carriage turned to the right, and the teacup in Zhong Yu's hand shook slightly, and the tea leaves in the cup rippled slightly.

Zhong Yu stared at the clear tea in the cup, suddenly thought of something, and said with a sigh: "I'm afraid this little girl has been annoying herself recently." ”

In this way, Duanmufei is still willing to bother to entertain them, which is also rare.

As Qi said, this girl is indeed open-minded, she has lived so many years longer than her, but she is in love.

"yes." Qi Shi replied with emotion, knowing that Zhong Yu was talking about evil things.

In the past few days, in the streets and alleys of the capital, in addition to the Yang family's rebellion case, the most concerned topic is probably whether Duanmufei is evil or not.

In particular, Duanmufei's identity as the future queen has also added a lot of attention to this topic.

Although in the court of Jingzhao Mansion that day, Jingzhao Yin had already decided that Duanmu Chao and Xiaohe were falsely accused, and then there was a rebellion case of the Yang family that shook the entire capital, and it was clear that the onlookers knew that it was the Yang family who was plotting against him, so he deliberately slandered the future queen.

But even so, the rumors about Duanmufei being an evil demon still spread among the people, and they are getting more and more intense, and the more they talk about it, the more they look like that, and Duanmufei is said to be the reincarnation of Daji.

Even Qi and Zhong Yu, who don't like to listen to those gossips on weekdays and only love piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, have heard a lot about them when they go out, or from the mouths of students and subordinates.

The three of them became tigers, and all of them were golden.

These gossips without real evidence can also kill, and moreover, they can kill people without seeing blood.

Since ancient times, there have been countless such things, especially in this world, women have a more difficult life than men, and women's reputation cannot be flawed.

Before coming to Muguo Mansion today, Qi was actually a little worried about Duanmufei, afraid that the little girl would be depressed after hearing these ugly rumors, but just now he saw that Duanmufei's complexion was good, and Qi was slightly relieved. She didn't want to block Duanmufei, so she didn't take the initiative to mention this topic.

Zhong Yu sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Ruoyun, when I went out two days ago, I occasionally heard some 'rumors'. ”

She originally went out to inquire about the Fu family and Fu Yingxuan, but she didn't hear the news, but she happened to hear some rumors about evil spirits.

"What rumors?" Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Yu suspiciously.

"Recently, there has been no rain in Beijing, Jizhou, and Yuzhou for a long time, and there was less snow last year." Zhong Yu put down the teacup and frowned, "I heard rumors that it was because the fourth girl of Duanmu was possessed by evil spirits, so God was angry and condemned Dasheng, so it hasn't rained for so long." ”

Some people also said that after the new emperor decided to set up, it never rained again. This is God's warning to the new emperor. ”

"Say, if the new emperor ignores the warning of heaven again, heaven will definitely send down even greater disasters and make the people miserable!"

Zhong Yu's voice was a little dignified and a little hard.
