General Ye is a rare loyal minister in the hands of Beigong Yu, this time Beigong Yu is relieved to hand over the war of Wu to their Ye family, and it can also be seen that Beigong Yu's trust in him, this sudden sacrifice has set off a lot of waves in the court for a while.

Wu Guo's manpower and strength are not as good as Yue's, and at this moment, Nanming has no time to take care of this side, no one thought that Yan Yanxing would have a hand behind his back, and he was extremely forced.

No one predicted the change, General Ye is gone, and the Ye family's army can only fall into the hands of Ye Qiuyu's brother, but this Ye Zi'an has loved his sister since he was a child, so many years Beigong Yu has seen Ye Qiuyu's indifference in his eyes, and his heart has changed as early as when he sent out the army, as the saying goes, the emperor is far away, and now Yue Hua's hundreds of thousands of troops are still far away in Wu State, Beigong Yu had to take Ye Qiuyu out of the cold palace again in order to stabilize Ye Zi'an, but, everyone knows, but the identity of the hostage has fallen.

Beigong Yu is warning Ye Zi'an that if he dares to make any changes, Ye Qiuyu's life will not be guaranteed.

Yue Hua suffered heavy losses in this battle, not to mention the loss of General Ye, and even the army also lost 100,000 horses, and once again stalemate with Wu State, Beigong Yu felt powerless for the first time, and the soldiers and horses led by General Ji had just fought with Nanming State, and at this time there was no extra person to go to Wu State to help.

But he couldn't move the army's heart, so Beigong Yu could only retreat to a city and delay the longest time with the least casualties.

On the day that Ye Qiuyu came out of the cold palace, Shu Changhua suddenly took people to Xia Yingxi's Xiyi Palace, so as to suspect that Xia Yingxi had performed witchcraft, causing the women in the harem to be uneasy, but the evidence was not found, but Ye Qiuyu's people searched for the needles needed for witchcraft in the Yiyun Palace painted by Shu Chang.

The previous ones who were seriously ill and died, each villain had their names pasted on them, and even Xia Xiaoxiao's, a whole box was thrown into the well in Yiyun Palace.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and Ye Qiuyu is waiting for this moment for not a day or two.

When Ye Qiuyu rushed over from Yiyun Palace with people, he was meeting a person with a long and arrogant toe searching Xiyi Palace from the inside out, and more than one or two people rushed over when they heard the news, and they occupied the entire Xiyi Palace inside and out, Xia Xiaoxiao was sitting on the side of Xia Yingxi's bed and patted her back for her, because she was frightened by this sudden formation, Xia Yingxi, who was seriously ill, immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Concubine Shu, you are framed, but you are too bad at playing."

This is the first time Xia Xiaoxiao has seen her since Ye Qiuyu's accident, her face is much worse than before, but the sharpness between her eyebrows and eyes is a little more, and Xia Xiaoxiao feels that something else has become different.

"Hmph, framed? Ye Zhaoyi, things can be eaten indiscriminately, words, but you have to pay attention to evidence. ”

Shu Changhua sneered, Ye Qiuyu came out of the cold palace, but who in this palace didn't know that she was just a chess piece in the emperor's hand to control Ye Jiajun?

"Come on, bring things up!"

Ye Qiuyu waved his hand, and someone immediately lifted the soaked box behind him, and Shu Changhua's eyes immediately showed disbelief in shock, "You! Where did you get this from! ”

"This was found by several Niangniang and I in Concubine Shu's dormitory, and now that the certified physical evidence is gathered, Concubine Shu Niangniang made such a big thing to shout to catch the thief, isn't it deliberately framed?"

Ye Qiuyu sneered, the box was suddenly kicked open under her feet, the same move she Shu Changhua dared to play in front of her for the second time, how could she Ye Qiuyu watch it?

Suddenly, the pinprick villain with the name of the person immediately scattered out of the box, and even one rolled to Xia Xiaoxiao's feet, those thin silver needles pierced the whole villain with holes, and his face was terrifying, but when Xia Xiaoxiao saw the name on the white paper on the villain's body, she immediately twisted her eyebrows, and looked at Xia Yingxi, Xia Yingxi undoubtedly saw the villain with her own name written on it, but at this time her face was still sickly pale, and the rest of Xia Xiaoxiao, who was holding the silk handkerchief, didn't see anything, Fear and anger are not even visible.

"No...... Not me! Ye Qiuyu, you're framing me! ”

Shu Chang's portrait suddenly remembered something, looking at the guards who were walking towards her, she immediately panicked, and her delicate and slender nails knew that they had been carefully cared for at a glance, and at this time she couldn't wait to catch Ye Qiuyu's face, "Ye Qiuyu, you were stupid last time, and now you want to blame this account on my head, don't even think about it!" ”

She was about to come forward, but was pulled away by the guards who were already waiting on the side, she shook off in disgust and screamed, "This palace is Concubine Shu, which of you dares to touch this palace!" ”

Those guards immediately stopped, and Ye Qiuyu's face was a little unbearable, there are so many people here, although the human and material evidence are gathered, but the identity of Shu Changhua is still there, Ye Qiuyu came out of the cold palace, but it is just a mere Zhaoyi.

"Bengu dare."

Just as Shu Chang's words became silent, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the room, and for a moment everyone's eyes looked at the sick woman sitting between the beds.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't think that Xia Yingxi, who hadn't spoken since Shu Changhua brought people in to search, would suddenly open her mouth at this time, but it wasn't much unusual, Shu Changhua had already blamed her, and Xia Yingxi, who didn't want to offend people anymore, couldn't help it.

Shu Changhua was stunned when he heard this, and when he turned his head, he saw that Xia Yingxi had stood up and walked towards her.

"Huh, you dare? Aren't you just relying on your title of concubine? Shu Changhua laughed angrily, "This palace said that I don't know these things, and it's useless to turn them out of where, Xiao Lizi, go and find the emperor, this palace wants to see who is planting whom!" ”

She glanced at Xia Yingxi arrogantly, turned around and was about to sit down on the chair next to her.

"Stop."

As soon as the little Li Zi's footsteps moved, he was stopped by Xia Yingxi in a low voice, even his voice was still weak, and he had no momentum, but the little eunuch really didn't dare to move, Shu Changhua turned his head and glared at Xia Yingxi angrily, "What, Concubine Xi is a thief?" Don't dare to see the emperor? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Shu Changhua's sworn appearance, and was just worried that Shu Changhua would do something to Xia Yingxi, but as soon as the person stood up, before he walked to Xia Yingxi's side, a crisp sound resounded in the house.

"Smack!"

Silence reigned again.

Xia Xiaoxiao watched Xia Yingxi's hands rise and fall, there was already a red mark on Shu Changhua's face, pursed her lips, and saw that Xia Yingxi's body was weak and about to fall, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xia Yingxi shook her head at Xia Xiaoxiao.

"Xia Yingxi!"

Shu Changhua screamed angrily, Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head and saw Shu Changhua covering his left cheek and red eyes, and had already stepped forward and turned sideways to hide Xia Yingxi behind him, for fear that Shu Changhua would come back in the next moment.

This is the first time Xia Xiaoxiao has seen Xia Yingxi do it for so many years.

"Qingyue, go and call the emperor to this palace, this palace wants to see today, what kind of reaction the emperor will have when he sees these things."

Xia Xiaoxiao sneered, glanced at the pile of things on the ground, and just happened to see his name impartially.

Qingyue Baba was going to go again, but she was stopped by Xia Yingxi again, she shook her head at Xia Xiaoxiao, "Sister, the matter happened in my Xiyi Palace, and now the emperor is worried about state affairs, so there is no need to bother the emperor about this little matter." Her gaze quickly fell on Shu Changhua, "Shu Changhua, today's incident has been witnessed by so many sisters in Xiyi Palace, it is the emperor who is here, and you will inevitably go to the torture hall, and now Ye Zhaoyi has also come out of the cold palace, is it possible that you think what you did to your sister that day, the emperor really doesn't know?" ”

The more Xia Yingxi spoke, the paler Xia Xiaoxiao saw Shu Changhua's face, that day...... Is it the Assassins?

"Hongu said it wasn't me! Xia Yingxi, you spew blood! ”

"Whether it is bloody or not, the emperor will have his own decision!"

The guards behind Ye Qiuyu had already stepped forward to drag Shu Changhua out, and Shu Changhua struggled hard, "I said it wasn't me!" Ye Qiuyu, since you have admitted that you were drugged, why do you have to frame the head of this palace! You really want to die so much that you have to pull a cushion!? ”

Just when Shu Changhua was taken by Ye Qiuyu's side, Ye Qiuyu made people stop, walked to Shu Chang's picture, glanced at the person in front of him, and looked at the eyes that had always been watery, and finally a little fear rose, only to feel unprecedented joy, and whispered a sneer close to her ear, "It's still acting, who is to blame?" You first wanted to borrow my hand to get rid of Xia Xiaoxiao, but I planted it in your hands, and now you want to drag Xia Yingxi into the water so ignorantly, Shu Changhua, since when did these women around the emperor get in the way of your eyes, do you have to take people's lives one by one at the expense of pain? ”

Ye Qiuyu straightened up and looked at her with pity, "A person, love is love, don't love, you have exhausted your means, what can you get in the end?" ”

There was a hint of imperceptible loneliness in that tone, Shu Changhua looked at her sluggishly, his face was full of tears, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Shu Changhua was quickly taken down, Ye Qiuyu turned his back to everyone, looked at Shu Changhua's back who didn't know what to shout, a tear fell like this, love, that person is yours from beginning to end, if you don't love, it's not yours, but, I don't know when it started, many years ago, when she first entered the palace, Sister Ye and Sister Ye called her Shu Changhua has become like this, at that time, she could see that the emperor really liked Shu Changhua A little bit like Shu Changhua.

Who said that there is no sisterhood in such a deep palace, it's just that some people take it lightly and some people value it seriously.

Ye Qiuyu wiped away the tears on his face with a silk handkerchief, and glanced back at Xia Xiaoxiao and Xia Yingxi in the hall.

In the end, the matter made a big fuss, and soon it also reached Beigong Yu's ears, the magic of witchcraft in the palace is not a trivial matter, and immediately the official department Shangshu learned of this matter and hurriedly rushed into the palace to intercede with Beigong Yu, at that time Beigong Yu was dealing with the twists and turns of the war in Wu State in the Lingyun Palace, Beigong Yu just glanced at the official department Shangshu kneeling in front of the hall, his eyes fell on the paper again, and he raised the pen and gave an order, "Come on, read on the love between me and Concubine Shu for many years, I will leave her whole corpse, a glass of wine, three feet of white silk, let her choose." ”

Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials immediately fainted.

Beigong Yu watched impatiently let people in and dragged people out, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xia Xiaoxiao coming from behind the screen with a soup bowl.

"Why haven't you slept so late?"

Beigong Yu put down the pen, pulled her to sit on his lap, wrapped his hands around her waist, and said dotingly.

"You be careful...... Xia Xiaoxiao annoyed him by his move of pulling her down at every turn, and carefully put the soup bowl on the table.

"What is this?"

He rested his chin on her shoulder and sniffed her in a low voice, casually glanced at the soup on the table, and asked in a low voice.

"Seeing that you have worked so hard for the sake of the people all day, I feel sorry for you, so I also worked hard to let the imperial dining room prepare some bird's nest ginseng or something to make up for you."

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled, and he took the bowl and spoon and handed it to Beigong Yu's mouth, "Come and taste it." ”

"I'm embarrassed to say it's hard work." Beigong Yu glanced at her funny, opened his mouth and took a sip of the soup that Xia Xiaoxiao fed to his mouth, and immediately frowned, "Which cook made it?" ”

"What? Doesn't taste good? Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Beigong Yu's seemingly unkind expression, and couldn't help but jump carefully, "You must have drunk too fast and didn't taste much." ”

Saying that, she hurriedly scooped another spoonful and handed it to Beigong Yu's mouth, this time Beigong Yu also drank it quickly, but the next moment Xia Xiaoxiao just put the bowl back on the table, the back of her head was clasped with a big hand, and then a slightly warm lip covered it, and the slightly salty soup crossed into her mouth!

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes widened at him, and he saw a flash of laughter in his eyes, and then he pinched the back of her neck, and the tip of his soft tongue touched-

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

As soon as Beigong Yu let go of her, Xia Xiaoxiao swallowed all the soup that Beigong Yu had just crossed over in a hurry!

"Beigong Yu, are you disgusting!" She wiped her mouth in disgust and glared at him angrily.

"You wasted my bird's nest ginseng, and you dare to say that I am disgusting?" Beigong Yu raised his eyebrows, but there was a thick doting between his eyebrows and eyes, and his inky black eyes were like stars shining in the dark night, Xia Xiaoxiao remembered the kiss just now, and her little face gradually turned red.

Beigong Yu fell in love with Xia Xiaoxiao's inadvertently shy appearance, Xia Xiaoxiao's face was stared at by him a little redder, and he was just about to get up from him, with a force in his waist, he took her back again, "Sit with me for a while......"

"Don't you have something to see, I'm sleepy." She got up again, one of Beigong Yu's hands had already buckled to her crotch, I don't know what force was used, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly softened to him, and he couldn't lift it at all, only heard Beigong Yu laugh in a low voice, "You sleep so much during the day, it's good for your health to sleep less at this time." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't struggle anymore, she was quietly held by him, her hand was on his hand, and then she played with his fingers, her little hand went up, the palm was opposite, a whole circle smaller than Beigong Yu's, and touched those small calluses on his fingertips.

Beigong Yu looked at her as if he liked her with his arm very much, and watched her play happily.

"Beigong Yu." She suddenly spoke, her fingers buckled between his fingers, and then slowly released it, so many times, before she slowly spoke, "Shu Changhua is the person who has been with you for so many years, you let her die for so long, won't you be reluctant?" ”

"I also gave her the mercy I should have given, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and she only has this way."

Beigong Yu slammed the hand she was about to pull out of his hand, "What, you sympathize with her?" ”

Sympathy? It doesn't seem to be, pitiful, I can't say, Shu Changhua really doesn't like her, she used to be an arrogant little girl, but I don't know when, it became intrigue in this palace, not to mention that this time she almost killed her first, but it was completely unsympathetic, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't answer, after all, Shu Changhua was only less than sixteen years old, and he died like this, too young, in fact, the most left should be a pity.

"Today, I heard something in Xiyi Palace, is the assassin of that day really the person who was painted by Shu Chang?" She turned to look at him, and Beigong Yu wrung her eyebrows, "Want to know?" ”

Why not want to know? If so, then the person who Murong Tianlian said in his mouth who had always wanted her life was Shu Changhua, but Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask at this time.

She dodged Beigong Yu's inquiring eyes, he didn't say it clearly whether it was or not, but Xia Xiaoxiao had already guessed a few points, "Beigong Yu, otherwise, you will put Shu Changhua into the cold palace like Ye Qiuyu, it is better to be alive than dead." ”

"Ye Qiuyu entered the cold palace, she can live because Ye Qiuyu knows what is important, Shu Changhua, entering the cold palace is no different from her death, it is better for me to relieve her with my own hands."

At that time, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Beigong Yu meant, but Beigong Yu summoned the person who sent the wine and Bai Aya back, and Shu Changhua naturally entered the cold palace, Xia Xiaoxiao thought, if it was her, it would be better to die than to live, but it wasn't until two days later that Qingyue brought news that Shu Changhua committed suicide by throwing himself into the well in the courtyard of the cold palace.

Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly understood Beigong Yu's words, Shu Changhua has been favored by Beigong Yu in every way since he entered the palace, and he couldn't tolerate people above her at the beginning, Beigong Yu gave her a way to live, but she blocked the road herself.

Maybe everyone in this world thinks differently, and the glory and wealth and the nihilistic love that you want to get even if you block a life.

The snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the days pass like a shuttle, Xia Xiaoxiao is lying on the windowsill and looking at the flying snow, Xia Xiaoxiao can't remember how many snows this year, and the ground in the courtyard is covered with a layer of silvery white color, which is very beautiful.

As soon as Shu Changhua died, the palace suddenly calmed down a lot, but a few days later, someone spread the news that Shu Changhua's little cousin, Shu Qiaojing, was ordered by Beigong Yu to go into the cold palace, and now, it seems that he has also gone crazy.

Xia Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, and a fingertip-sized snowflake fell into her palm, and then quickly disappeared and melted, the first moment Xia Xiaoxiao heard the news, she faintly recalled the reason why Shu Qiaojing was beaten into the cold palace, but it was just a quarrel with her, in fact, it was not a big deal, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think, if she hadn't quarreled that day, Beigong Yu would not have relegated her to the cold palace, and she was tortured into this palace at a younger age than Shu Changhua.

Only Ye Qiuyu still lives in the side hall, but since he came out of the cold palace, he has also learned from the former Xia Xiaoxiao, locked himself in the side hall, and the door did not go out, no one was seen, just like when he was in the cold palace, as if someone in this palace had gradually faded away, and then Xia Xiaoxiao talked to Beigong Yu again.

At that time, Beigong Yu was returning to Lingyun Hall in the morning, and at a glance he saw Xia Xiaoxiao sitting in front of the stairs at the entrance of the hall, Qingyue stood aside with an umbrella for him, I don't know what he was persuading, and the heavy snow fell from the sky, but they were all blocked by the umbrella, and only the leaves still floated to her shoulders.

She was so thin that she didn't even wear a cloak.

"Xia Xiaoxiao, do you want to freeze to death here on such a day!?" Beigong Yu strode over, Qingyue saw Beigong Yu coming, and immediately retreated to the side, Beigong Yu glanced over, "Qingyue, what do you think of the master!" ”

Beigong Yu said and took off the cloak on his body and put it on Xia Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and was about to carry her back to the hall, these minions are really getting more and more unlooking, such a snowy and cold day, let Xia Xiaoxiao stay outside!

"I don't blame Qingyue, it's just that I want to come out and blow the wind."

Xia Xiaoxiao grabbed Beigong Yu's hand that came over to pick her up, looked up at Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu saw the little hand that had been frozen red for I didn't know how long he had been sitting outside, and his face immediately turned blue, "Are you trying to blow yourself outside on such a cold day?" ”

It also blows cold wind, she wears so little, no matter how much she blows, she can blow it away!

Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to say something more, but people couldn't help but be carried to the hall by Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu whispered, "If you say one more word, I will throw you into the cold pool and let you freeze enough!" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't speak anymore, it blew in the cold wind for nearly an hour, and it was indeed a little numb from the cold, Beigong Yu immediately arranged for someone to boil hot water, and when it was served, he warmed Xia Xiaoxiao's feet first.

The flames in the bronze tripods in the hall burned crackling, "Beigong Yu, after General Ye Xiao returns from the Wu State campaign, can you not lock Ye Qiuyu in the cold palace again?" ”

Beigong Yu didn't expect Xia Xiaoxiao to suddenly talk about this, and his face suddenly became even more ugly, "Don't freeze outside the hall for so long, just to wait for me to come back and tell me this?" ”
