"Flower market?" Xue Ke paused, raised his eyes and looked at King Qin, he was wearing a green robe in the snow, with a black embroidered gold cloak outside, and the whole person looked like a shocking young man back then, but there was a little more calm between his eyebrows and eyes.

Xue Ke couldn't help but want to touch his face, and finally endured it and nodded.

Xue Ke went back to the house and added some clothes, said hello to the fairy aunt again, and boarded the carriage. There was a foot stove in the carriage, but it was not cold, and King Qin handed a small hand stove to Xue Ke, Xue Ke smiled and said, "In the past two years, I have really become more and more afraid of the cold." ”

"I think it's because of my weakness." King Qin looked at her and sighed, "You put less effort into everything!" ”

"This is also a helpless thing, how can everything be done?"

Xue Ke closed his eyes and said inexplicably, "It's been four years in a blink of an eye!" ”

King Qin also knew what she was going to say, and nodded and said, "Yes!" It's been four years. ”

Neither of them spoke again.

Xue Ke slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly, since he couldn't go back, it was better to make a conclusion.

It was late afternoon when the carriage arrived at the flower market, and the lights on the side of the street were slowly lit, exuding dreamlike colors. After four years, she is already the daughter of a rebel, Ah Que is already a generation of virtuous kings, it is impossible to enjoy the lights on the road, but the carriage is parked in an inconspicuous courtyard of the flower market, but there is a high-rise building under the shadow of the rockery.

The room was warm like spring, the soup on the table was steaming, the wine was already warm, and the room was full of wine. The earth dragon in the room is hot, the daffodils are already in full bloom, and the warm fragrance hits people's hearts and spleens.

Xue Ke went outside to coat and sat on the warm kang by the window, his face was flushed for a while, King Qin asked people to put the low table on the warm kang, waved his hand and retreated, and sat opposite him.

The red lanterns outside the window are swaying in the wind, looking beautiful and enchanting.

King Qin poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xue Ke. Xue Ke sniffed, "It's really good wine!" He shook his head again and put down his glass.

"What's wrong?" King Qin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Are you done with the ink dust?"

King Qin nodded, and drank a glass of wine, "Mochen is a suicide, and even the factory guards can't find any traces." I've been busy with Mochen's funeral these days, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen to you, but fortunately, Mrs. Ren's mother and son are safe. ”

"Ink Dust is loyal to you."

King Qin nodded and sighed.

"But you know, I can only be loyal to the prince now." Xue Ke looked at him fixedly.

King Qin has been avoiding this question, and seeing that she is not shy about mentioning it, he can't help but ask, "Why?" Ake? What can Donggong give you? Is it able to avenge you? Or do you expect the crown prince to rehabilitate the Xue family after he ascends the throne? He paused and said proudly, "He can't do the former, and I can't do the latter!" ”

Xue Ke chuckled, smiled, and asked, "Ah Que, let me ask you, the night the Xue family was destroyed, was it you who ordered it?" ”

King Qin shook his head like a lightning strike, "You hate me because of this?" You know, I"

"Do you want to say that the Holy Command is hard to disobey? Ah Que, how did I escape? You should know that, right? ”

"Ake, are you hating me for saving you?"

"You exchanged my life for beheading my Xue family, right?" Xue Ke's voice became more and more fierce.

King Qin's face became more and more pale, and he shook his head and said, "No, Ake, no!" ”

Xue Ke looked at him and laughed inexplicably, people are so strange, some people are obviously caught committing murder in public, and they are holding the murder weapon with blood in their hands but they say "It's not me" with a blank face, maybe people always subconsciously defend themselves when they are desperate. Isn't that the case with you?

In her last life, she sent a warning letter to the prince under the design of Yang Siniang, and then was caught and tortured by Yang Siniang and the queen.

She looked at herself as if she was looking at a monster, she had been hanging for too long, her arms had been dislocated, the wounds on her body had rotted, there were disgusting maggots crawling, her clothes were hanging on her body with rags that could not be seen in their original color, her clothes were not covered, her skin and clothes were glued together, King Qin's eyes became sharp, and she glanced at the gorgeously dressed princess next to her.

The princess told the story of how she collaborated with the enemy in wartime, how she was cholera and how the queen ordered her to be brought into the inner court for interrogation, which was seamless and a great crime.

Xue Ke suddenly laughed, King Qin had avoided her eyes before, then looked at her and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

She opened her mouth, and King Qin understood her mouth shape, and said plainly, "Kill me." ”

King Qin closed his eyes and asked, "Did you write that letter?" ”

King Qin pulled out his sword and stabbed her with a sword, the moment the sword entered the flesh, Xue Ke suddenly shook his head wildly, "It's not me, Ah Que, it's not me!" ”

King Qin's hand suddenly trembled, he wanted to call "Ah Ke" but couldn't call it, he knew that Xue Ke's injury could not be saved, and he knew that death was just a relief for her, but this sword couldn't be stabbed. The blood slowly spilled out, and she cried softly, "Ah Que, I'm in so much pain!" ”

King Qin closed his eyes suddenly, and pushed forward with a sword, but the sword was not chested, and he hugged her tightly.

Xue Ke closed his eyes and stroked his chest, the pain in his previous life seemed to be still there, reminding himself that in this life, how could he still be wrong?

Looking at King Qin's pale face, Xue Ke showed no mercy, "For this alone, I will never enter the Qin Palace, so in the future, no matter how the prince looks at me, the prince and I are just the opponents of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

King Qin was speechless for a long time, and said with a wry smile, "Ah Ke, you are so ruthless." ”

Xue Ke suddenly became a little angry: "That's because it's not your dear relatives who died in vain!" ”

King Qin suddenly lowered his voice, "Ah Ke, I know that General Xue is innocent, you give me time, and I will wash away your father's grievances?" ”

Xue Ke sneered, "Wait until you usurp the throne?" ”

King Qin's face turned cold, "Are you so sure that the crown prince must be stronger than me?" ”

"Since I am assisting the crown prince, I naturally believe in him."

King Qin endured his breath, "Ah Ke, what did the prince promise you?" I can do it too! Prince, can he be better to you than I am? ”

"Since I have chosen him as Lord, I will not compare." Xue Ke smiled, "That's what I'm here to say today, so as not to misunderstand." Xue Ke raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, "This is the last glass of wine I drank with you." ”

King Qin's heart ached. Seeing Xue Ke's resolute figure leave, he opened the window, and a cold wind blew in, for a moment, he wanted to ask someone to stop her and hide her in his house, one day, she would figure it out, but finally didn't say anything, watched her get into the carriage in plain clothes, and slowly left.

In Zhuangzi, he doesn't ask about the world, and a month passes quickly. After the full moon, Xue Ke began to return to the Ren Mansion. Fortunately, at this time, they were all ready, and on a day with good weather, Xue Ke helped Xian Gu into the carriage.

The whole Ren Mansion was naturally excited, opened the door and lined up to greet them, and the people who were a little older were in tears.

After entering the house vigorously, the fairy aunt finally settled down, pulled Xue Ke to drink bird's nest porridge together, and rested. Xue Ke said with a smile, "I have been working with my sister-in-law for a month, but I have gained a lot of weight." ”

"It's plump and beautiful!" The fairy aunt quipped, "When I saw you just now, the thin wind blew down!" ”

"Sister-in-law's face is also better! From tomorrow, my sister-in-law will also be a director, so I will go back. Xue Ke paused, but still brought it up.

The fairy aunt sighed, prepared in her heart, and said, "I also know that you still have something to do, you can accompany me for this time, Ke'er, I keep it in my heart." After a pause, he said, "The secret gang to assist the Qin Wangfu is already a fixed situation, even me, and I can't change it." But, as you know, I've always hated the court, and I just want to raise my son with peace of mind in the future. So, I decided to quit the Dark Gang. In the future, whether you help the prince or deal with the secret gang, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Xue Ke looked at the fairy Gu fixedly, and his voice was choked, "Sister-in-law!" ”

"This is my original intention, not for you, I believe that Brother Yao will not be willing to be your enemy. You are Yuan'er's aunt, and Renfu will be your mother's house in the future, so you have to come back to see him more often. ”

Xue Ke nodded, unable to say a word. After saying goodbye to the people in Ren's mansion, Xue Ke took Ah Liu back to the East Palace.

When the prince came back from the palace, Xing'er on the side looked at his face and didn't dare to speak out. The prince's face has not been good this year, and everyone in the house is silent.

As soon as I arrived at the East Palace, I saw the porter happily welcome out. The prince was still thinking about the affairs of the court and did not pay attention. The porter hadn't spoken yet, but when he saw that Steward Lu also came out, Xing'er was surprised that Steward Lu hadn't done this thing for a long time.

The housekeeper of the road was calm, and followed the prince all the way into the East Palace with a smile, until the prince noticed him, "Old Lu, why are you here?" ”

"Prince! Miss Tang is back! ”

"Oh? When was this? The prince hurriedly paused, and without waiting for him to answer, he asked again, "Where are you now?" Why didn't you say it earlier? Is it to come back and pick up what? ”

"Master! It's in Baopu Temple! ”

The prince hurriedly said, "Let's go, go to Baopu Yuan!" ”

"Master! Don't worry, Miss Tang said that she is back and will not leave! ”

"Oh?" The prince stopped, and then he felt that the weather was very good today, and his body was bathed in the sun, and it was warm.

Xing'er took the opportunity to persuade, "Then go to Su Zhengtang to change your clothes first, it's too anxious to go in court clothes!" ”

The prince glanced at Xing'er and strode over in the direction of Su Zhengtang. The housekeeper trotted all the way and said with a smile, "The girl also brought back a lot of New Year's gifts from Renfu." The old slave thought that this year, the bounties of the people in the East Palace have been issued, but in previous years, sometimes the master was happy and rewarded some happy food, wine and money, and this year the East Palace was also smooth and profitable, and the old slave wanted to ask for an auspicious fortune for the big guy!"

The prince didn't stop, nodded and said, "You have a good idea!" Just today, the food and wine are doubled this year! The big guys are having fun! ”

Xing'er was boasting in her heart that the housekeeper really knew the color, and the prince said again, "By the way, since Miss Tang is back, you will go and ask Miss Tang to send it again." ”

"Hey! The prince is really a Tang girl! ”

The prince didn't speak, his feet had already stepped into the courtyard of Su Zhengtang, and he just urged, "Xing'er hurry up and bring over the set of clothes that the seventh brother gave him years ago." Wait, Xing'er, isn't that set too fancy? ”

"Master! That set is gorgeous and elegant, and it looks very spiritual when you wear it, don't you still believe in the vision of the Seventh Prince? That's the most tasteful person in our capital! Xing'er said as she went to the side of the wardrobe to look for clothes. When the Seventh Prince's dress was delivered, his own prince disliked it very much, and this will be remembered.

Xing'er came over with the dark green inlaid silver silk and embroidered with auspicious clouds. The prince looked at it, hesitated again, and said, "Old road, don't go first, help me take a look." ”

When Xing'er carefully waited for the prince to put it on, the road steward praised one after another, "Master!" This dress is really lined with the jade tree in the wind! Nice tight! It's so good-looking! The old slave can't take his eyes off! Gee! How did this seventh master come up with it, this fabric is beautiful! ”

The prince was a little embarrassed to be praised, "Okay, okay, you can get busy first." By the way, wait, you can arrange for someone to send a gift to the Seven Kings' Mansion when you go back, and then ask if this fabric is suitable for women. ”

"Hey! Got it! The housekeeper smiled and retreated.

The prince took Xing'er to the Baopu Courtyard in one breath, and there was no little girl in the courtyard, but he heard a burst of laughter in the house. The prince smiled unconsciously, lightened his steps, walked to the door of the house, opened the corner of the curtain, and saw more than a dozen little girls and Mama Zhang and others all gathered around the room, sitting or standing, the stove was rising in the house, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts wafted from the room.

The little girls were talking about the new things in the East Palace in the past two months, and the prince stood at the door and listened with relish, and his face changed a little as he listened.

"His Royal Highness brought back a kind of pastry one day, what is it called honey cake or honey crystal cake, let the dim sum shop learn to make it, and those people in the inner garden will rise, what kind of snowflake fragrant plum cake did Sun Zhaoyi make, saying that it was made of snow water and petals on plum blossoms for several days, like real flowers, and offered it, and those two also sent pastries made by themselves every once in a while, until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said how to send these sweet and greasy things every day before stopping, girl, do you say it's funny?"

Several little girls covered their mouths and smiled, "It's not!" Your Highness hasn't been to Hibiscus Garden for a day! ”

Xue Ke chuckled and said, "That's His Highness's incomprehensible style." ”

The prince couldn't help coughing lightly at the door, and all the little girls were startled, and slipped down the wall one by one, leaving only Xue Ke in the room.

"Orchestrate master, these subordinates are getting more and more unruly!"

"Exactly!" Xue Ke got up from the collapse with a smile, walked up to the prince, and naturally unbuttoned his cloak for him, "I will definitely teach them a good lesson when I go back!" It's also my usual loose habits, don't blame Your Highness. ”

The prince didn't believe the lesson she said, but Xue Ke's actions flattered him, standing there smelling the fragrance on Xue Ke's body, where did he still think of blame, and said softly, "Why are you back?" ”

"Doesn't Your Highness want me to come back?" Xue Ke glanced at the crown prince, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this body is very bright!" ”

The prince's face flushed slightly, and he complained about Xing'er and Steward Lu in his heart, this body was still too fancy, and he was busy saying, "What are you talking about, I mean why did you come back quietly, and you didn't report in advance, I will pick you up!" ”
