She smiled like a weak little flower stained with dew, very beautiful but helpless, Huan Xuan looked at her, and thoughtless the wild flower called "Xiyan" that he saw in this palace that day and night, the same soft, the same pitiful.

He couldn't help but interject: "The word 'thin' means meager, and the meaning is very bad, so it's better to change it to the word 'xi' of 'sunset', and you will be called 'xi'er in the future." ”

Ah Xi looked at Miaoyin pitifully, showing a look of help, obviously liking his original name very much and not wanting to change it.

And Miaoyin's eyes showed a look of surprise, as if with sadness, but also with a very clear understanding. She glanced at Huan Xuan's expression, put away her smile, and said lightly: "Since the master asked you to change your name, you should call it 'Xi'er', I also like this name very much." ”

Although she said "like", there was no trace of joy in her eyes, and she was completely insincere.

Ah Xi, now called Xi'er, can only kneel down and kowtow helplessly, and say obediently: "Thank you master for the name." ”

Miao Yin cheered up, squeezed out a smile at Hagi Niang, and said gently: "My sister has worked hard these days, but now it's okay, with Xi'er serving me, my sister can rest at ease." ”

Hagi Niang only felt that her smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, but she didn't understand why, did Huan Xuan say something to her before?

According to the reason that Huan Xuan came in person, she should be so happy that she can't find Bei Cai.

She was puzzled in her heart, but it was not easy to ask directly, so she nodded to Miaoyin and said to Xi'er: "Niangniang has a very kind temper, you are blessed to have such a master, and you must serve the master with all your heart, you know?" ”

Xi'er nodded in agreement, and respectfully got up and stood aside to serve Miaoyin's meal.

It was a bad night, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and if you didn't light the lamp, you couldn't see anything.

Hagi Niang ate at Miaoyin's, then went back to her house in the dark, and only felt that some raindrops hit her on the road, and the mountain wind was very strong, but I was afraid that it would rain heavily that night.

In the middle of the night, Hagi Niang was woken up in a daze, she opened her eyes and saw that it was Jiang Rui, who was on an errand in the kitchen, she was strange in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Why don't you sleep so late? ”

Jiang Rui pounced, knelt in front of her, and begged, "Girl, please save the slave and maid." ”

Hagi looked at her in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Rui sobbed and said: "The slave woke up from sleep at night, only to hear a strange sound in the next room, and secretly got up to take a look only to find that the guards guarding the palace were ......."

She couldn't go on, she was so scared that her face changed, originally she thought it was a sister-in-law next door who was indecent, so she was curious and wanted to take a peek, who knew that she saw those usually kind guards actually holding knives in their hands, and they were quietly slaughtering the palace maids.

"The slave maid is in the moonlight, and she can see clearly, Shang Cui, who combs her hair on weekdays, and Dou Ya and Chen Xiu, who are in charge of the female red, are all one by one, and the blood is splashed out...... It was the first time for the slave to see such a terrifying picture...... "Jiang Rui's pale face seemed to have only two eyes left, and her eyes widened widely, which was very terrifying.

"There are still three palace maids who sprinkle and sweep in that room, and when they see that they can't live, the slave and maid are afraid that they will come to the slave's house after they kill that house, so they ran out, but they don't know where to go, so they come to beg you." She looked at Hagi Niang in horror, with a pleading look on her face.

Hagi Niang was also shocked, Huan Xuan promised himself that if he found the traitor, he would let go of these palace maids, but now he wants to break his word?

She hurriedly got dressed and said to Jiang Rui: "You just hide in my room, I'll go to Miaoyin Niangniang to ask about the situation." ”

The moon is dark and kills the night, is the wind high and the day is on fire? She walked out the door, and sure enough, it was dark outside, and the ground was very wet, so it was indeed raining during the night. However, there were lights in Miaoyin's hall, she looked at the muddy ground under her feet, and walked over on tiptoe, and heard Huan Xuan's voice outside the door saying: "I've taken care of everything, this will let people wake her up, you ask Xi'er to help you pack up some more soft bedding in the car, so as not to bump for a while, but it is uncomfortable." ”

Hagi Niang didn't fully believe Jiang Rui's words, but after hearing Huan Xuan say this, she realized that there should be something wrong tonight, and Huan Xuan had planned it a long time ago.

She entered the door angrily, and sure enough, she saw that Huan Xuan and Miaoyin were dressed neatly, looking like they were hurrying overnight, she ignored Miaoyin's surprised gaze, and said angrily to Huan Xuan: "Huan Lang, didn't you promise me to let those innocent palace maids live?" ”

Huan Xuan was silent for a while, and the expression on his face was a little unpredictable.

Hagi Niang turned to Miao Yin and said, "Sister Yuan, do you know what your Huan Lang told those sergeants to do? Your palace maids were all killed by him, if Jiang Rui hadn't sneaked out, I'm afraid that you and I wouldn't have known about it at all, and he really let those palace maids go. ”

Miao Yin looked very embarrassed, she smiled unnaturally and said: "Sister Hagi, I believe that Huan Lang naturally has his own reasons for doing things, and we women from Taoist families should not interfere with men's behavior." ”

Hagi Niang's heart was cold, it turned out that Miaoyin had known it for a long time, she pursed her mouth tightly and couldn't speak anymore.

At this time, a sergeant grabbed a thin woman and approached the door, and asked Huan Xuan for instructions: "Master, this palace maid said that she is the maid of the Zang family's girl, not a person in the palace. You see......"

Huan Xuan frowned, raised his hand and waved, ordering him to act according to the original plan, leaving no one alive.

Hagi Niang looked at it, and sure enough, the woman was Jiang Rui, her face was pale, her expression was panicked, and she couldn't move when she was caught.

She hurriedly stopped the sergeant: "Wait! Then he turned his head to Huan Xuan and said: "You have said to me before that you will give me great honor and complete respect, but now you are not willing to leave me even the life of a little maidservant, go back on your word, is this the family motto of your Qian Guohuan clan?" ”

The sergeant saw that she had no respectful attitude towards Huan Xuanshu, and couldn't help but look at her dissatisfied.

But Huan Xuan listened to her speak so rudely, and he didn't feel uncomfortable in his heart, but instead bent the corners of his mouth, revealing a fox-like cunning smile, he turned sideways, hiding his happy expression, and said deliberately embarrassed: "Hagi Niang, it's not that I don't want to respect your opinion, it's just that from the day Miaoyin left the palace, these palace maids have already died." Here, everyone knows who I am, and they have seen me and Miaoyin Niangniang together, do you think I will still keep their lives so that they can go back to the palace and talk about this matter as gossip? ”
