Tuoba Mingyan stretched out her hand fiercely and grabbed her shirt, she looked at Hua Beijiao, her lips trembled, her teeth chattered, and a terrible thought was slowly forming in her mind.

No, it can't be, it can't be.

When that thought came to him, Tuoba Mingyan pressed down again.

The person in front of her is obviously a strange woman, obviously not the face of the Queen Mother, how can she think that she is the Queen Mother?

No, it won't.

Tuoba Mingyan trembled, but he could see Yin Xuan clasping Hua Beijiao's hands, her blood faded again, and the chill swelled in her heart.

Tuoba Mingyan opened his mouth, his eyes fixed on Hua Nanjiao's face, and he couldn't say a word.

Is the murderer the Queen Mother?

Nie Bei broke it off like this.

Just now, Tuoba Mingyan questioned Nie Bei's words, but now, Tuoba Mingyan only felt ridiculous, if the woman in front of him was really the queen mother, then Nie Bei really didn't make a mistake, originally Tuoba Mingyan accused Nie Bei of saying that Nie Bei was covering up for someone, and that person was referring to the Queen Hua in front of him.

But is Queen Ruohua really the Queen Mother?

Then Nie Bei deserves to be broken.

He was not wrong, no matter whether the Queen Mother is a wisp of soul and still lives in the Zijin Palace, or she has become the flesh-and-blood North China Jiao in front of her, living in Longyang Palace, she is the Queen Mother!

Tuoba Mingyan stumbled violently, almost fell, Hong Luan was behind her, seeing that she was wrong, he immediately reached out to support her, and exclaimed: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan shook his head with a pale face: "I'm fine." ”

Nie Bei said: "Concubine Ming has not answered the minister's words yet. ”

Tuoba Mingyan looked at Nie Bei, then at Yin Xuan, then at Nie Qingwan, and finally said to Yin Xuan: "The concubine wants to say a word to the emperor alone." ”

Yin Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said, "Is there anything you can't say here?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan said, "No. ”

Yin Xuan frowned lightly, and said lightly: "When this case is closed, I will listen to you again, and now the case is the main thing." ”

Tuoba Mingyan bit her lip, her eyes were full of tears again, she saw that Yin Xuantie was determined to refuse to talk to her, she had to turn her head to look at Nie Bei, and said: "I don't think it is, I just think that Lord Nie's case is too weird, I just have doubts in my heart, I don't know how to judge the case, Lord Nie is profound, there should be no mistake, it's me who thinks too much." ”

Nie Beidao: "This case is indeed very weird, and what is weird is not only the case, but also the hearts of the people." ”

He turned to Yin Xuan again and said, "If the emperor has no objection to this conclusion, then the minister will close the case." ”

Yin Xuan didn't answer, turned his head and asked Nie Qingwan: "What does the queen think?" ”

Nie Qingwan said in two thousand pounds: "I don't know how to judge the case, since Lord Nie is so sure, it should be right, you are the emperor, and this final matter will naturally be done by you." ”

Yin Xuan moved his gaze to Nie Bei again, he always felt that the matter would not end like this, he nodded, and said to Nie Bei: "Just close the case." ”

Nie Bei said: "The emperor is not curious, why did the dead queen mother come to Yanxia Hall to make trouble? ”

Yin Xuan squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I'm not curious. ”

Nie Bei hooked his lips, his lips escaped a sneer, he didn't say anything, he made a retreat at Yin Xuan, and then a retreat at Nie Qingwan, and left.

As soon as he left, Bolu also left, Huatu and Gong Yongqin also hurried away, as well as the four officials.

Yin Xuan's face was not very good, he glanced at the back of Nie Bei leaving, and slowly retracted his gaze, pulled Nie Qingwan to leave, but was stopped by Tuoba Mingyan screaming.

Tuoba Mingyan rushed up, stopped him, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the concubine really has something to say to you alone." ”

Yin Xuan pursed her lips, let go of Nie Qingwan's hand, and said to her, "You go to the Imperial Rim first to wait for me." ”

Nie Qingwan glanced at Tuoba Mingyan, shook her palace sleeves lightly, and walked towards the palace with the support of Huandong and Huanxi, along the way, she raised her chin and looked at the scenery of this palace, thinking, there was nothing originally, the flowers were full of self-falling, and the branches would move the crops, and they would eventually wither, and they would eventually die.

When the room was empty, Yin Xuan asked Tuoba Mingyan, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan sent Hongluan out, and glanced at Suihai again, Suihai stood there with his eyelids down, quiet as a stake, seeing Tuoba Mingyan's eyes look over, he thought about it and walked out.

When there were only Tuoba Mingyan and Yin Xuan in the room, Tuoba Mingyan trembled his lips and asked Yin Xuan with a frightened voice: "Queen Mother...... She's back, isn't she? ”

Yin Xuan sighed, thinking that she was not stupid yet, after so many things had happened, in the current situation, she could detect the abnormality, and she had not followed the Queen Mother for so many years in vain.

Yin Xuan looked out the door at Nie Qingwan's back walking away step by step, his heart gradually emptied, as soon as she left, his heart was empty, only when she was by his side, he felt that life was complete and his heart was real.

Yin Xuan looked at Nie Qingwan's back like that, but said to Tuoba Mingyan: "Why do you think so? ”

Tuoba Mingyan said: "I don't want to think like this, but just now Nie Bei said that the reincarnation of heaven, cause and effect have their own retribution, it's not that they don't repay, it's just that the time has not come, the time has come, and none of the people who do evil can escape." ”

She paused for a moment, and saw that Yin Xuan was frowning because of this sentence, and she said again: "I know Nie Bei, he said this to me, and what he hates in his heart is nothing more than those who harmed the Queen Mother, I only understand now, why did you abolish Chen Dedi, the emperor, why did the Chen family fall apart, why did you ignore your previous promises and drive them away, because you know very well that the Queen Mother is back, and the Queen Mother will not let them go, so in order to keep them, you let them go, others don't understand you and think you are ungrateful, But I know that you are the most important kindness, and you don't want to owe the Chen family, let alone me, so you have to pay for this sin alone, and clear it with the Chen family and me. In the final analysis, you are still unkind, you are only willing to owe her, but you are not willing to owe others a penny. ”

Her eyes fell on the purse on Yin Xuan's waist, since he came back from the Daimyo Township, it was difficult for her to see him again, and when she saw him, she only watched from a distance, it was difficult to get close, she only knew that he had always carried a purse around her waist, but she didn't know what kind of purse it was, and what could be carried by him cherished terrain was bound to be sewn by the Queen Mother.

Tuoba Mingyan stepped forward and reached out to pick up the purse on his waist, Yin Xuan didn't stop it, let her watch.

Yin Xuan knew that she could see who this was from.

Sure enough, Tuoba Mingyan read it carefully, her steps staggered more and more, her eyes were hot, and she muttered: "I have learned this stitch with her for a long time, and I have not been able to learn it, she comforted me at the time and said that everyone has their own strengths, there is no need to force it, although she can sew this unique purse, but she can't make incense, she said that she wants to learn to make incense, let me teach her, but I taught her, she can't learn." ”

Thinking of the past, Tuoba Mingyan's expression turned from sad to trance, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart throbbed: "I'm sorry for her, I respect her and love her, but I also hate her, what do you say I should do?" I don't kill her, my heart is uneven, I kill her, my heart hurts, these three years, I have also suffered from time to time, I don't want to sell the lord for glory, Yin Xuan. ”

This is the first time that the two have known each other for so many years, and Tuoba Ming has called his name once.

Yin Xuan withdrew his gaze from looking out of the door and looked at her.

Tuoba Mingyan let go of the purse in his hand and said sadly: "She came back early in the morning, but I didn't know, I thought you had changed your mind, it turned out that you didn't, it turned out that she was really the queen mother." ”

Yin Xuan's thin lips pursed lightly, paused for a long time, and then reached out to touch the purse on his waist, all the indifference became gentle when he touched the purse, he thought of what was in it, and he couldn't put it down more and more, he whispered: "It's okay if you know, when I'm gone, you can leave the palace, I know that you let Hong Luan buy a shop outside during this time, you want to go out of the palace to run an incense shop, you want to stay away from this harem, I will allow you to go out." I really don't want to owe you any affection, nor do I want to owe Chen Dedi any affection, I only owe her one person in this life, and I only want to owe her one person, whether it is hatred or love, whether it is betrayal or punishment, this is a matter between me and her, it has nothing to do with you, I can die in her hands, I am also willing, you don't know, how happy I am during this time. ”

You don't know that I want to see her heart through a life and death.

Therefore, death is not afraid of me at all, and if my death can be exchanged for her tears and her heart, I feel that it is worth it.

Yin Xuan didn't say this, he wouldn't say it to Tuoba Mingyan, his psychological words, he only said to a woman, whether she listened or not, he was willing to say it, and no matter how willing other women were to listen, he wouldn't say it.

After Yin Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Tuoba Mingyan looked at his back, tears finally broke down, don't you want to owe me? But what to do? I just think you can owe me, remember me, never forget, even if what is remembered in your heart is not love, just a trace of debt, that is also remembered by you, if my life flashes in your heart, there is no trace, then my life is not equal to living in vain?

You erased everything about Chen Dedi, and let history not record her name, do you still want to erase everything about me?

Tuoba Mingyan laughed, laughed and cried, like a madman, Hong Luan immediately ran in in fright, and eagerly asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything, just sat cross-legged on the ground like a person who had lost her heart, staring at the door in a daze.

How happy he was during this time, how could she not know?

His joy is so evident that who can't see it?

Tuoba Mingyan recalled all kinds of North China Jiao's entry into the palace, thinking that North China Jiao's first day into the palace was a night, no one led her, no one arranged a palace for her, she kindly went to take her in, she refused, and didn't know how to run to the imperial study, let Yin Xuan open his mouth to give her the palace, although the palace was as cold as a cold palace, but in the end he was his own master, that day Tuoba Mingyan was still thinking, this Jindong county lord is really a good eloquence, can actually say that the emperor, now it seems, where is she the Jindong county lord, she is the queen mother, is the queen mother, how can she not cope with the emperor?

Later, the incident of Yanxia Hall happened, and now there is no need for Nie Beiduan, Tuoba Mingyan knows that the incident in Yanxia Palace was done by the Queen Mother, but it is not the Queen Mother who died, but the Queen Mother who is alive, and the person who helped her is Xian Bi.

Xian Bi is the person she personally raised, loyal to her, she once gave Xian Bi a lot of medicinal materials, and then she was cold and poisonous, and she was also looking for Xian Bi to take the flame flower.

She manipulated the incident of Yanxia Palace's 'medicinal herb killing' behind the scenes, but it was not aimed at her, it should be aimed at Nie Bei, she needed Nie Bei to come out and cut off the death of the Queen Mother, so she created such an unsolved case. It's just that the emperor didn't do what she wanted, and would rather close the case than let Nie Bei come out, so she manipulated another unsolved case behind the scenes, that is, the queen was poisoned.

It's a pity that the emperor still didn't let Nie Bei out as she wished, maybe, if it wasn't for the accident of Concubine Feng that day, she would have other tricks.

It's just that the Chen family was too anxious, and it happened that they couldn't steal chickens and rice, and they helped her a lot by mistake.

Although she received an arrow, she successfully lured Nie Bei out.

In this way, her path of revenge was officially opened to them.

What Nie Bei really wants to break, and what the knife of the Sixteen Yan Judgment really wants to cut is not these unrelated cases, but the death of the Queen Mother.

Tuoba Mingyan slowly stood up with her hands, the death of the Queen Mother, she lowered her eyes and said to Hong Luan: "Follow me." ”

Hong Luan didn't understand that Niangniang was going to die just now, why was she so energetic at this moment, she looked at her worriedly, pulled her arm, and asked, "Is Niangniang okay?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan said: "I'm fine, you come to the house with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Although Hong Luan was puzzled, she could see that Niangniang was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, oh, and followed Tuoba Mingyan into the house.

Tuoba Mingyan showed her all the incense he made, said the name marked on it, and said to her: "You have been with me for many years, and you have learned some incense-making skills from me when you have nothing to do. Just now, the emperor has allowed us to go out to sell incense, and I will ask the emperor to write a handwritten message, you go out with the handwritten message, and set up the shop first. ”

After speaking, she went under the bed and took out a very hidden private box, took out the key from her sleeve pocket and opened it, carefully took out a book from it, and handed it to her: "This is our ancestral incense-making secret of the Tuoba clan, I haven't taken it out to show you, now we are going to open a shop, and you want to help me take the lead, you have to stand up first, there is no real kung fu, it is untenable, so, you take this book first, and study it when you have time, you can't smash the signboard of my Tuoba clan's ancestors." ”

Hong Luan took the book inexplicably, and asked Tuoba Mingyan: "Just now, Niangniang wanted to talk to the emperor alone, just to ask the emperor to allow us to go out and open a shop?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan pulled a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "Yes, it actually takes a lot of work to leave the palace, I am the title of Ming Guifei, and it is not easy to take it off for a while, so the emperor will find a way, but I can't leave for the time being, you go first, and when you get a firm foothold, my head is almost solved, and then I can live with you outside." ”

Hong Luan was extremely happy, hurriedly put away the books, and said with a smile: "That's great, when will the slave leave the palace?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan said, "Let's go out at night." ”

Hong Luan frowned: "Is it so fast?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan said: "It's not fast, you have to take the lead, and you have to find someone to decorate the shop, you can't delay." ”

Hong Luan thought about it, and then said: "The slave and maid left at night, who will serve the mother?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan said: "My body has already been raised, and I don't need to be served, I really need someone to serve me, there are not so many palace maids outside, you can have as many as you want, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Hong Luan said: "Then I'll go and help Niangniang finish the incense shop first, and then wait for Niangniang to go to town." ”

Tuoba Mingyan nodded: "Hmm." ”

She looked at Hong Luan's happy appearance, but her eyes became more and more red, she reached out and touched Hong Luan's hair, and then reached out to hold Hong Luan into her arms, at that moment, Hong Luan's heart moved, and asked, "Niang Niang is reluctant to be a slave?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan let go of her and said without concealment: "Of course I am reluctant, but it will only be a few days anyway." ”

Hong Luan said: "I can't bear to be a mother, otherwise I would still serve my mother first, right?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan said: "It's important to do the right thing. ”

Hong Luan stuck out her tongue, Tuoba Mingyan endured the pain and sat in the chair, in the afternoon, she sent someone to find Yin Xuan, let Yin Xuan write a verbal message out of the palace, and dissolve Hong Luan's palace registration, let her be free, Yin Xuan responded, after eating at night, Hong Luan got the oracle and her palace registration book, Hong Luan took these two things, and knelt down in front of Tuoba Mingyan: "Slave and maid thank Niangniang, Niangniang's great kindness, slave and maid will never forget it for the rest of your life." ”

Tuoba Mingyan helped her up and said, "Get out quickly." ”

Hong Luan wiped his face, stood up and said, "Well, Niangniang will wait for me to finish the incense shop and pick you up." ”

Tuoba Mingyan smiled, personally sent her to the gate of the palace, waited for her to go away, watched the palace gate gradually close, she said in her heart: "Hong Luan, take care of yourself outside, those silver tickets are enough for you for a long time, and those spices are enough for you to support the business of a shop, you have served me faithfully for many years, and your own brother died because of me, what I can do for you is to give you freedom and give you a place to live, you don't have to wait for me, I can't get out, our master and servant, just say goodbye here." ”

After the door was closed, Tuoba Mingyan couldn't see Hongluan's shadow at all, she retracted her gaze, and returned to the Yanxia Hall heavily, waiting for the coming wind and rain and thunder.

Perhaps the heavens really have eyes, or perhaps the weather in early autumn is strange, as soon as dinner is over, thunder rolls outside, and after a while lightning pulls the clouds, tears open the corner of the sky, and hits the earth, and then a strong wind blows, and the rain comes.

Nie Qingwan had just finished dinner with Yin Xuan and was about to go out when she encountered this sudden storm.

Yin Xuan immediately pulled Nie Qingwan back, blocked behind him, and asked Suihai to prepare an umbrella, but it was useless to prepare an umbrella, because the rain was too heavy, Yin Xuan thought about it, and pulled Nie Qingwan back to the dormitory through the inner door inside.

After entering the dormitory, Yin Xuan asked Suihai to close the doors and windows, because the wind was too strong.

It rained, and he couldn't go out, Yin Xuan didn't deal with the twists and turns in the morning, and he didn't have it in the afternoon, he was dealing with the case in the morning, and he was sleeping with Nie Qingwan in the afternoon to read books and arrange flowers, he didn't go into the imperial study all day, and at night, he originally wanted to take Nie Qingwan for a walk, but it was raining outside, and he couldn't take a walk anymore, seeing that Nie Qingwan was lying on the bed and going to sleep again, Yin Xuan really couldn't sleep, so he went to the side hall and asked if he had come back from Suihai Li Donglou.

Sui Hai said: "I haven't come back, but Commander Li handed over the message, saying that although he received the order and also took the people from the Ministry to Nie's Mansion, he couldn't get in, and he couldn't get in, because Nie Buwei and Nie Xifeng were blocking the door." ”

Nie Buwei and Nie Xifeng are two of the six generals who once bathed in Kyushu, and their strength is on par with Yin Xuan, only one person comes out, and Li Donglou can't stop it, let alone two people are there.

Yin Xuan twisted his eyebrows, he didn't expect the two of them to really dare to blatantly resist the order.

Yin Xuan asked: "Li Donglou is still outside the Nie Mansion?" ”

Suihai said, "Yes." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Let him go back, it's raining outside, his injury is healed, don't get drenched again, today I am in a hurry, so I let him go to search Nie Mansion, now I think about it, I am also confused, those hard bones in Nie Mansion, I can't gnaw on them, let alone Li Donglou, go tell him, disperse, let the people of the Ministry go back." ”

Sui Hai answered yes and went down to inform Li Donglou.

When he came back, Yin Xuan had already rested, and waited outside the door with the sea for another half an hour, but he didn't see any communication inside, so he went down to sleep.

The next day, Yin Xuan got up and didn't alarm Nie Qingwan, she slept peacefully and quietly, her eyebrows were gentle, and the whole person exuded a lazy and sweet atmosphere, Yin Xuan lowered his head and kissed her for a while, reluctantly got up, put down the red and yellow veils around her, and announced that he came in with the sea to serve.

When changing clothes, Yin Xuan asked, "It's still raining outside?" ”

Suihai said: "Yes, it's been a night, look at the momentum, it will be another day." ”

Yin Xuan sighed, looked up at the dark sky outside, and his heart also became gloomy, he frowned, packed up, and went to the Jinluan Palace in the imperial chariot.

Although the heavy rain poured, but the ministers still came to the court on time, for this sudden heavy rain, many ministers are discussing, Nie Bei stood there silently, looking at this heavy rain, thinking of the night of the queen mother's death, it was also such a heavy rain pour, thunder and lightning, and the sudden evil omen swept the entire Dayin, and today, history will repeat itself, and the knife of the sixteen Yan judgments will be slashed at the guilty people with the wrath of heaven.
