Nearly half of Yun Hui's original charming face was almost peeled off at this time, and the fresh flesh under the skin was drenched with blood, and some had formed black scabs, if it weren't for Xia Xiaoxiao's clear that the person in front of her was Yue Hua's mother who was once one person below ten thousand people, seeing her face, she almost thought it was a terrifying ghost who came out in the middle of the night.

"I didn't expect it to be you," Yun Xiao was startled when she saw Xia Xiaoxiao, and then grinned, looking more and more hideous under the already disfigured smile, "Beigong Yu actually didn't kill you." ”

Yun Xi sneered, her voice hoarse.

"It's much better than you."

Xia Xiaoxiao suppressed the shock churning in his heart, and took two breaths before he said softly, "Instead of suffering here, it is better to tell Beigong Yu everything he wants to know, at least he can die happily." ”

The injuries on Yun Cheng's body, she felt pain when she looked at it, if it fell on her body, no matter what Beigong Yu asked her to say, she would definitely shake it out, horizontal and vertical is death, and it is good to die a good death.

There was still blood on the corner of her mouth, and her jaw was wet, "What, Beigong Yu actually wants you to be a lobbyist now?" ”

"What you're looking for, the secrets you're hiding, I'm not interested in knowing at all," Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at her, and glanced back at the wooden table behind her, on which were placed wine and a plate of peanuts, which were supposed to be used by the tortured jailers to pass the time when they were resting.

"Also, those who get totems can do what the world wants, Beigong Yu wants you to be a lobbyist, and he has to let you know something."

The corners of Yun Hui's mouth smiled, obviously the injuries on her body were extremely serious, and they should be extremely painful, but her eyes still flashed with a fox-like cunning light, and as she wished, Xia Xiaoxiao was indeed shocked in her heart, Yun Xiaoxiao's seemingly inadvertent words were very clear to Xia Xiaoxiao Beigong Yu what they were looking for!

Yun Xi knew that Beigong Yu was willing to spare her life just because she didn't know about these things and didn't pose any threat to him, Yun Xi wanted to pull her into the water!

Soon, Xia Xiaoxiao hid the surprise in her eyes, took a light breath, and automatically covered her words, "Tomorrow is the deadline for Beigong Yu to give you, and now that you are in this situation, I think it is better to get rid of it quickly, after all, in the past three years in the palace, whether you are sincere or not, or you have taken the most care of me, I should always give you a ride." ”

Yun Ji raised the corner of her eyes, "Xia Xiaoxiao, you are really afraid of death." ”

She knew that Xia Xiaoxiao was worried about being involved and chose to avoid this topic, so she couldn't help but mock.

"Who in this world is not afraid of death? Aren't you afraid? I'm scared anyway. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said, as she picked up the wine jug that was still a little left and poured a full glass into the glass, she turned her head to stare at her face, and said slowly, "For so many years, you haven't regretted it for a moment?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at her current embarrassed appearance and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, the old fox in her eyes used to be in love with Beigong Chengyan and proud, but now, she found out that everything was just an illusion, twenty years ago she hid Duan Jinyun's identity and entered the palace in the draft, in order to avenge the Duan family, as she said, Yun Ji is not afraid of death, otherwise she would not choose such an extreme way.

Yun Xi was stunned, as if she had heard a very funny joke, "The people in this jailer are thinking about how to make me miserable, and they are all thinking about how to make my life worse than death, so they used sharp blades to cut long scars on my face, trying to cut off the human skin mask on my face, but they don't know, I have been wearing this mask for twenty years, and I have never taken it off in the past twenty years, whether I eat or sleep, and this mask has already grown into my flesh and blood over the years, how can they say that it can be cut off if you cut it off?" Her eyes suddenly became fierce, "It's a pity that he has stayed by his side for twenty years as his wife, but he has missed this last step!" ”

Her tone became excited, if it weren't for Beigong Yu, she would have personally understood Beigong Chengyan, and the Duan family's country would not be left to their Beigong family!

Xia Xiaoxiao stared at her bloody face, indeed, one of her faces had no resemblance to Duan Jinyun, that skin, no matter how they peeled it with a knife, there was still no way for her to reveal her original appearance.

"If you don't attack the emperor, this throne is still yours, even if you don't have freedom, you can live a peaceful life."

Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the play he heard outside the palace, those things twenty years ago have not been recorded by history, and who else can spread this except Duan Jinyun, who knew everything at the beginning?

"As far as I'm concerned, you should know that what I want is not a posterior, not freedom!"

She looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's tone of pity, and there seemed to be a million flames of anger burning in her heart, "What bullshit status, what bullshit is okay, those things died the moment Duan Jinyun jumped off the moat twenty years ago!" ”

"You just want revenge?"

"After he killed my father and queen mother, he ruined my home, my country, and the child in my womb, so how can I not hate!"

When the word child came out of Yun Hui's mouth, Xia Xiaoxiao obviously saw the compassion in her eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao wrinkled her eyebrows, "But you know that Emperor Duan is mediocre, and he has put Yue Hua's people in dire straits, and he is innocent of death." ”

"What about the people of the Duan family? More than 200 people! It's all innocent! ”

Yun Cheng roared, her hideous face was covered with tears, and the chains on her body were struggling with her to make a collision sound, no matter what kind of torture they had inflicted on her in the past few days, she had never snorted, but at this time she finally couldn't help it anymore, twenty years, she hadn't slept a day for twenty years, as long as she closed her eyes, the scene of Beigong Chengyan leading the army to force the palace that night would appear in front of her, she saw with her own eyes that the sword in Beigong Chengyan's hand pierced into the chest of her father and queen mother, and they fell from the city wall, And she could only watch the corpse of her father and queen mother cold at the foot of the city wall, and the person standing on the city wall was actually the pillow person beside her day and night, that kind of helplessness, that kind of despair, how could Xia Xiaoxiao understand? No matter how much time has passed, Beigong Yu's killing eyes and bloody pictures that night will always be so vivid, how can she not hate?

"He didn't kill you."

Xia Xiaoxiao really doesn't understand, she doesn't know what it would be like to be betrayed like that by someone she loves, but she also knows that she is in pain, but how much better can Beigong Chengyan be than Yun Cheng over the years?

"So what?"

Yun Cheng smiled miserably, if it wasn't for the fact that he was lucky enough to pick up his life after jumping into the moat, what was the difference between dying in the hands of Beigong Chengyan? Before entering the palace, she completely replaced herself with another person, entered the palace draft, and stepped step by step to the status of the master of his harem, in order to stay by his side and regain everything that belonged to her, but at the last moment, she still lost.

"The cloud before he died, you must have heard it."

The smile on Yun Hui's face suddenly stopped, Xia Xiaoxiao walked up to her with the cup in her hand, and slowly fell at her feet, "Do you really think that he doesn't know who you are?" ”

Yun Ji, Duan Jinyun, are all the cloud words, but who is the cloud he called in his mouth?

The transparent wine spilled on the ground and made a thin sound, some of which splashed on Yun Yin's bloodstained toes, "Duan Jinyun once said that if Cheng Yan becomes a concubine, then the throne will definitely help him take it, and at that time, only Duan Jinyun can become his queen." ”

These words were what Duan Jinyun in the mountains and rivers cloth once said to Beigong Chengyan, when Xia Xiaoxiao saw the change in the expression on Yun Cheng's face, she guessed that the original play was really not nonsense.

Since Xia Xiaoxiao knew that the old fox was Duan Jinyun, she guessed Beigong Chengyan's thoughts, but Yun Xiao didn't know, so now the sarcastic smile on her face finally couldn't hold back.

"As I said, I'm not uncommon in this posterior!"

She seemed to have pulled the wound on her body because of Fang Cai's excitement, and at this time, her eyebrows, which were covered by blood scabs, gradually twisted, and she dodged for the first time since Xia Xiaoxiao came in.

"But he just wants to leave it to you."

Xia Xiaoxiao put the empty wine glass back in place, which was considered a temporary drink for her.

"What the hell are you trying to say!"

Yun Ji turned her head, staring at Xia Xiaoxiao with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and every word Xia Xiaoxiao said made her breathless.

"The first emperor, Beigong Yu, and even Beigong Pheasant Li, all have their own thoughts for the thing you just said that the one who gets it gets what the world wants, and only you know the clue to that thing, and there are many people who want your life, I think, you should know better than anyone else, the target of the assassin on the hunting ground should not be the emperor from the beginning, it's just that he blocked the sword in order to save you."

"How is that possible?"

Yun Ji muttered in disbelief, tears mixed with blood on her face, her voice was hoarse, repeating these words over and over again, and her sharp eyes were suddenly covered with confusion, as if she was looking for those suspicious things in the depths of her memory for so many years.

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but have a wry smile that Yun Xi couldn't see, and the pity in her eyes was even worse, but she guessed blindly, but seeing Yun Xi's reaction, it was obviously really guessed by her, what the assassin wanted that night was Yun Hui's life.

"You are blinded by hatred, Beigong Yu can find out your identity, how can the emperor not know? Maybe he knew it later, maybe he knew it at the first sight of you, if he knew that Duan Jinyun was still alive, then everyone knew that Duan Jinyun would come to him for revenge, and everyone would kill you, but he still kept you by his side, Queen Mother, didn't you think about why? ”

Beigong Chengyan's indifference to her in front of people for so many years is just for outsiders to see, Yun Xiao is Duan Jinyun, the identity of the princess of the previous dynasty is enough to make her die thousands of times, even though she was the general's wife of Beigong Chengyan, but he knew that Yun Cheng came back to take his life, he still didn't expose her, just followed her will, helped her hide her identity, and sent her to the queen's position step by step, Xia Xiaoxiao walked up to her, hung her head, no longer looked at her appearance that was no longer human, and said softly, "He has guarded you for twenty years." ”

Yun Ji was stunned and never spoke again.

The bright firelight on both sides of the torture room was reflected on Yun Ji's face, with undried tears flickering, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't look at her expression again, she had learned a lot of these methods of stealing chickens and dogs from Ji Xiaoer, and took out a small ceramic bottle from her sleeve, which was the one that Lu Wuxian was holding in her hand before.

"Beigong Yu ordered you to split the car, anyway, sooner or later you will die, at least you can leave a whole corpse to see the emperor."

Xia Xiaoxiao has said everything she should say, Yun Ji has lived in hatred for the second half of her life for the past twenty years, and she really should hate, but maybe the beginning of all this is not what Beigong Chengyan wants, but now it is in vain to say anything. She carefully hid the medicine bottle in Yun Cheng's arms, glanced at her, sighed and walked out of the torture room, and the voice of Yun Cheng lost her mind came from behind her.

Outside the small window on the side, there was a lot of light snow, Yun Ji raised her head, her eyes were a little confused, this is the first time she has been imprisoned here for so many days, she looked up at the scenery outside the window, the window is not big, there is wind, a little snow drifted in, the temperature in the torture room is high, and the snowflakes disappeared before they landed.

It was also the first time she discovered that the snow scene was so beautiful.

"Sycamore tree, three more rain, not to leave the love is bitter"

Silent only in the torture room where the carbon fire burns, her voice is low, with a slight choking, revealing a bit of desolation, faintly, she seems to see the plane tree in the distance, in the autumn season, the woman is dressed in a silk dress lightly, under the withered yellow tree, riding on the swing made for her by the man, shaking her legs, waiting for the man to return from the distant battle, suddenly someone gently hugged her from behind, with a longing and doting voice whispered in her ear: "A leaf, a sound, the empty steps drip to the light." ”

He called her "Yun'er", and she called him "Ayan".

They should have been the most envied couple in the world.

Out of the torture room, Lu Wuxian was leaning against the door frame and waiting a little impatiently, "I said that if you don't come out again, I will have to go in to find you, be careful and wait for the cell boss to come over!" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao followed him out of the prison quickly, and Lu Wuxian chattered along the way, she didn't say a word, the snow in the sky floated on her head, and she brushed it with her hand, a little distracted.

"You went in just to tell her about it?"

Lu Wuxian first walked in front of her, and after leaving the prison, he leaned over and stared at her, just before Xia Xiaoxiao entered, he couldn't help but get closer with curiosity, and heard some of them.

"You are eavesdropping!"

Xia Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and Lu Wuxian was also a little embarrassed, he sometimes gossiped a little, but when he saw Xia Xiaoxiao looking at him with disdain, he couldn't help but stiffen his head and straighten his chest, "It's not a secret, what can't be heard!" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao tugged at the corners of her mouth, glad that Lu Wuxian shouldn't have known that the medicine in his arms had been stolen by her, and then felt a little guilty, and whispered, "Lord Lu, it's a slave, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Wuxian was baffled by her attitude, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care about him, looked at him deeply, and continued to walk forward, "The old fox failed to kill the king, everyone knew that she was the identity of Duan Jinyun, the princess of the previous dynasty, and the emperor once wanted to protect her mind like that, presumably Beigong Yu didn't know, but I thought, Yun Yu should always know some truth, and the authorities are confused." ”

Yun Cheng always thought that Beigong Chengyan was using her to seize the throne, but she didn't want Beigong Chengyan to be in danger of this situation, and even for twenty years, she would rather let her hate him than say a word of explanation to her.

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help sighing, Yun Cheng and Beigong Chengyan, Beigong Chengyan and Duan Jinyun, what kind of bad relationship should this be, it seems that the words of the mountains and rivers cloth sounded in his ears again, and he can wait for the mountains and rivers in the world, who will never live up to it?

One thought that he could avenge the country's revenge and family hatred with his own hands, but the other used an illusion to protect her well, but they all failed, Yun Cheng finally failed to repay the hatred, and Beigong Chengyan finally failed to protect her life, but if it wasn't for Beigong Chengyan who was no longer in this world, how could Yun Cheng end up like this? How could Beigong Chengyan bear to let Yun Cheng suffer like this in the hands of Beigong Yu?

"Heh, I didn't expect you to still be a lover."

Lu Wuxian raised the corners of his mouth, and suddenly his image of Xia Xiaoxiao was not as bad as it was at the beginning.

"Heh, Lord Lu, is this a compliment or a deprecation?"

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, so she replied casually.

"Naturally, it's a compliment," Lu Wuxian glanced at her angrily, he almost didn't praise people, but now he praised her Xia Xiaoxiao actually didn't appreciate it, paused, and said, "Xia Xiaoxiao, you said that you wanted me to win money, and now I'm busy and I'm helping, don't forget, otherwise the news of you sneaking to see the prisoner won't reach the emperor's ears at any time!" ”

"Whatever you want, I want to sue you, you are an accomplice anyway."

Xia Xiaoxiao spread her hands, like a ruffian, and she was not weaker than anyone, but just when Lu Wuxian was so angry that her eyes erupted fire, she suddenly became attentive again, "But, Lord Lu, the slave and maid see that you can often enter and leave the imperial city so casually, do you also get any tokens from the emperor?" Can it also open the eyes of the slave maid? ”

Yes, she began to have the idea of leaving the palace again, if Lu Wuxian had the token given by Beigong Yu, then she could steal it! But disappointed, Lu Wuxian sneered, "Do you think I'm you?" You have to use a token to get out of the palace," he said, "Lord Ben is the emperor's royal doctor!" Does the Miracle Doctor know? It's different from ordinary doctors, everything the emperor gave me is a license, if I want to leave the palace, the emperor won't dare to stop me! ”

"Just blow it." Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him.

Lu Wuxian was not convinced, and when he wanted to defend himself, he hurriedly came here, "Lord Lu, the slave can be regarded as looking for you, the emperor has just gone to the concubine Xi, why are you still here?" ”

"That's right, Concubine Xi!"

Lu Wuxian patted his brain, as soon as he met Xia Xiaoxiao, he forgot all about going to Concubine Xi!

Pingshun came to the front and led Lu Wuxian to Xia Yingxi's palace, took two steps and turned back to look at her, and instructed, "Miss Xia, hurry back to Lingyun Palace, if the emperor returns to the palace later, if he doesn't see anyone, he will probably lose his temper again." ”

"Yes, the slave will go back at once."

The two of them left without looking back, Xia Xiaoxiao stood in place for a while, and followed them not far in the direction of the pavilion, her silver was still thrown by her in the flowers!

It was still early, and Pingshun said that Beigong Yu was there in Xia Yingxi, and it was estimated that she would not be able to come back for a while, she was not as obedient as Pingshun imagined, and obediently went back to Lingyun Hall to copy the internal training, anyway, it was impossible to finish copying, it was better to steal a little more lazy.

The snow that had only stopped for two days continued to fall, and the sycamore trees in the Xiyun Hall had already withered, and thick snow was piling up on the branches, occasionally falling some unbearable snow blocks.

Xiyun Hall has been a deserted palace since Xia Xiaoxiao first came here, and now she can't say how far it can be deserted, she still remembers the appearance when she accidentally bumped into Beigong Chengyan coming out of it.

Even the name of this palace turned out to be the name of Duan Jinyun.

What is different from the usual time is that at this time there are palace maids in twos and threes, constantly taking the things in the house and throwing them out.

"What are you doing here?"

Xia Xiaoxiao grabbed one of the palace maids who was holding clothes that seemed to have been brought out of the back room and asked.

The palace maid glanced at her, "The emperor's order, all the things in this abandoned palace have been disposed of before today, and none of them can be kept." ”

"Your Majesty? This ruined temple has been abandoned for so many years, and what are you doing with these things? ”

Even if there is a lack of houses to live in the palace, it shouldn't be bad for this palace that has been abandoned for 20 years, right? He had already ordered Duan Jinyun to be executed, what else could he not rest assured of?

"How do I know, we will do whatever the emperor asks us to do, if you are curious and have the ability, you can ask the emperor."

The palace maid bypassed her and put all the clothes in her hands together, as if she was going to burn them in the courtyard.

"Stand there! Come here and burn all this! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head when she heard the voice, and the grandmother pointed at her and called, there was a big wooden box in her hand, and the things inside were scattered when she threw it out, Xia Xiaoxiao had to listen to the words of the grandmother to pick up the things.

The calligraphy and paintings scattered all over the place were seen by Xia Xiaoxiao when she came here, she carried those calligraphy and paintings to the fire and threw them into the fire the same, these calligraphy and paintings have been around for some years, and they can be put so well, it is estimated that Beigong Chengyan ordered not to move, but now as soon as they are put in the fire, the sparks are slightly stained, and they immediately burn into ashes.

Once when she was in the Yuexia Palace, the old fox occasionally liked to practice calligraphy and painting, but although the handwriting was somewhat similar to the ones in her hand now, it was a little different.

When Yun Cheng was the queen, there was a strong and domineering in her words, more like a man's writing, and the words in her hand were more soft, and every stroke was the graceful air that her daughter's family should have, just like one was Yun Cheng and the other was Duan Jinyun.

The calligraphy and painting of the entire wooden box disappeared in the flames, only the last painting in Xia Xiaoxiao's hand remained, she slowly opened the painting and painted two figures, Duan Jinyun embroidered brocade in front of the stone table in the courtyard with a smile on his face, Beigong Chengyan practiced martial arts in front of her with a long sword in hand, the plane tree in the courtyard bloomed luxuriantly, and she could vaguely see that the splendid embroidery in Duan Jinyun's hand was embroidered with a picture of rivers and mountains.
