Liu Nong was very happy when she heard Xue Yi say that the emperor allowed them to leave the palace, but seeing Xue Yi's faint expression, she didn't seem to be happy, and asked curiously: "Since the emperor has allowed Niangniang to leave the palace, why is Niangniang still so depressed?" ”

Xue Yi repaired her nails and said lightly: "What is there to be happy about, the emperor will accompany me out of the palace tomorrow." ”

Liu Nong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and blurted out, "Then the slave maid will go to Lord Xiao to cancel tomorrow's plan now?" ”

Xue Yi shook her head slowly, stood up and paced to the window, and sighed: "Summer is coming to an end, and winter is coming soon." ”

After speaking, Xue Yi just looked at the gray sky in a daze and pondered alone.

Liu Nong didn't understand the meaning of Xue Yi's words, but he didn't want to ask, so he could only stand aside and wait for Xue Yi silently.

"Liu Nong, tomorrow I went to ask the emperor to give you to Xiao Yu, can you two go away?" Xue Yi still looked up at the sky and suddenly asked.

Liu Nong froze in place, not waking up for a long time.

Xue Yi turned around, took Liu Nong's hand, and said sentimentally: "Liu Nong, I have thought about it, you and Xiao Yu should go away and fly high, and never come back." ”

Liu Nong fell to his knees, tears falling down his face, shaking his head desperately, but he couldn't say a word.

Xue Yi leaned over and pulled Liu Nong up, and her white and slender jade hands lovingly brushed Liu Nong's sideburns behind her ears, and said: "Liu Nong, I just want to tell you that in my heart, you are as important as Xue Wu, I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of Xue Wu, since Xiao Yu has a heart, you can go away with him and fly high." ”

"Miss...... I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere! It's what you once said, we're going to be together forever. As for Xiao Yu, he is no longer the Xiao Gu of the past, he is now Xiao Wangye, the Queen Mother intended to marry, but after that night, the Queen Mother never mentioned it again, so, Miss, don't persuade me anymore, I won't go with him. Liu Nong didn't want to involve Xiao Yan, she had already known that she and him were not two people after all, and she didn't want a man who thought about other women to be her husband.

Xue Yi was about to say something, but the doorman came from the voice of the fifth father-in-law.

"Xiaode, can Concubine Xue be in the palace?"

"Yo, it's the fifth father-in-law, my mother-in-law is resting, and the slave is allowed to go in and return." Xiao De said and stood at the door with the curtain of the door, bowed and replied: "Hui Niangniang, the fifth father-in-law is here." ”

Xue Yi gave Liu Nong a look, nodded with a smile, and made an invitation.

The fifth father-in-law was about to make a big salute when he entered the door, but was stopped by Xue Yi, who smiled: "Liu Nong, sit down." ”

"Yo, Xie Niangniang." The fifth father-in-law bowed and sat down.

"Is there something going on when the fifth father-in-law came to our palace?" Xue ordered someone to serve the teacup.

The fifth father-in-law got up and thanked him and said, "The old slave came by holy decree to send an object to Niangniang, which was given to Niangniang by the emperor. ”

The fifth prince shook the dust as he spoke, and a small eunuch who followed behind the fifth prince walked up with a rosewood box in his hand.

Xue Yi looked at the box curiously: "This ......"

The fifth father-in-law replied with a smile: "This is specially instructed by the emperor to send it to Niangniang, and the old slave has no chance to see what is in this box, Niangniang just opened it, the emperor said that Niangniang must like it when she sees it, and the emperor also said that Niangniang will definitely respond, and the emperor is now waiting for the old slave to reply." ”

Xue Yi looked at the seal attached by the emperor himself on this delicate small box, doubted in her heart, nodded, took the box, Xue Yi opened the box curiously, only lifted the lid of the box, Xue Yi's hand stopped, she looked at the contents of the box blankly, and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, Xue Yi took out the things in the box, it turned out to be just a wood carved mandarin duck, although it was carved from wood, but it was also very exquisite, it can be seen that the carver has some thoughts on this pearl hairpin.

Looking at Zhu Hai, Xue Yi's eyes were a little moist, it turned out that he still remembered!

It was after Xue Yi's first bedtime, and Emperor Cheng asked her what she wanted.

She leaned on the railing next to the bed, thinking that she couldn't tell whether it was a grudge or a grudge between her and Xiao Yichen, thinking about Xiao Yichen's flesh and blood in her womb, but she couldn't help but feel sad.

At that time, Emperor Cheng saw him crying, knowing her embarrassment and thoughts, he took her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Xue'er, I know that you don't love glory and wealth, and I also know that you are with me, you feel ashamed of Xiao Yichen, but we don't have anything to be sorry for him, and I believe that what you want is only what I give!" ”

At that time, Xue Yi looked at Emperor Cheng's handsome face in surprise and asked, "Does the emperor know what the concubine thinks?" ”

Emperor Cheng's loving scratched Xue Yi straightened his nose: "Of course I know that all you want is a husband who loves you and a cute and smart child." ”

"The Emperor's ......." Xue snuggled in the arms of Emperor Cheng, tears rolling.

Indeed, she doesn't want to be a queen, and she doesn't want to compete with anyone for anything, she just wants to be a couple for the rest of her life, and live a dull life.

Now Emperor Cheng sent this woodcarved mandarin duck hairpin to surprise her, to tell Xue Yi that he had never forgotten her wish.

However, at this moment, such an oath is just a surprise to Xue Yi, Xue Yi is no longer the stupid Xue Yi in the Yu Palace, she has more of the future of the Lan family, the honor and disgrace of the Lan family, and the life and death of her father Lan Guang, as well as the mystery of her own life experience, these are inseparable from the dead Xiao Yichen, if Xiao Yichen is really fake death, and Emperor Cheng is Xiao Yichen, then judging from the facts that Xue Yi has now, she and Emperor Cheng should have a great enmity for killing her mother and father.

No amount of love will become a burden to him.

Xue Yi was stunned, the fifth princess looked at it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Our emperor is more and more incomprehensible, a few days ago, the emperor specially recruited a few folk carpenters, and the servants thought that the emperor was going to repair which palace, and he didn't want the emperor to lock himself and a few carpenters in the back study. ”

Xue Yi also smiled: "The five father-in-law thanked the emperor, and said that the palace likes it very much." ”

Xue Yi served tea to the guests, but the fifth father-in-law still stood in place with a bow, slightly stunned, and replied with a smile: "Niangniang, when the old slave came, the emperor explained very clearly, the emperor said, Niangniang saw the things in the box, and she must have returned, otherwise the old slave will wait for a while, Niangniang should think about it, what are the objects to be handed over to the emperor?" ”

Before the fifth prince finished speaking, Xue Yi's hand had already fallen on the jade pendant on his chest, which was given to the five princes by Ji Wuyao at the beginning, and those who wore this jade pendant could mobilize all the power of the Vulture Villa!

Xue Yi once promised Emperor Cheng that if one day, he could fulfill her wish, Jing Hai cloth skirt, then this jade pendant would also be returned to the original owner, Emperor Cheng wanted to exchange the jade pendant with the wooden hairpin at this time, it seems that he has begun to doubt her.

Xue Yi wanted to pretend to be stupid, but after thinking about it, how smart Emperor Cheng is, if he really values this jade pendant so much, he will definitely have other ways to obstruct his investigation of his father, thinking of this, Xue Yi looked at the fifth father-in-law, and smiled: "Wait a while, the palace will come." ”

Xue Yi walked to the inner room, and Liu Nong then lowered the bead curtain.

Xue Yi took off the jade pendant around her neck and placed it in the box sent by Emperor Cheng, only to find that there was a paper crane neatly stacked in the box, she slowly opened the paper crane, it was Emperor Cheng's handwriting, and there was only one line of small words on the paper crane: Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Bandit retribution, always think it is good!

Xue Yi was only slightly stunned, and then wrote with a pen: Vote for me with Mu Li, and repay it with Qiongjiu. Bandit retribution, always think it is good!

Liu Nong has been following Xue Yi for a long time, and he has already been coarse in writing and ink, and he can't see Xue Yi's mind for a while.

Xue Yi walked out of the inner room, and Liu Nong walked towards the fifth father-in-law with a wooden box in his hand: "This is what the father-in-law wants." ”

The fifth father-in-law handed the wooden box to the little eunuch behind him, bowed and retreated: "The slave still has something to do, so I will retire first." ”

Xue Yi nodded, motioned to Liu Nong to reward the fifth father-in-law and the little eunuch, and ordered Liu Nong to send the fifth father-in-law, and the fifth father-in-law hurriedly shirked and said: "Niangniang is polite, how dare the old slave work the girl's drive, the old slave will go, the girl please stay." ”

Seeing the fifth father-in-law walk away, Liu Nong looked at Xue Yi in puzzlement: "Miss, this is ......."

Xue Yi didn't wait for Liu Nong to finish speaking, looked at the door and asked loudly: "Liu Nong, why haven't you seen the shadow of cold frost for so long, if I remember well, that girl was recommended by you." ”

Liu Nong saw Xue Yi ask about the cold frost before he remembered, it has indeed been two days since he saw the cold frost, that girl was still effective when she was in the palace, after Du Ruo's death, Xue Yi was short of manpower, Liu Nong took it upon himself to get the cold frost into the palace, it is just an old man, after the cold frost entered the palace, Liu Nong also secretly observed for a period of time, although the cold frost is not very clever, but he is also a reliable person.

In this deep palace, there are cold winds and traps everywhere, and there are few reliable people who can be said to be unable to move an inch, but in the past two days, there has been no shadow of cold frost.

"Mother, do you have any orders? It's better for a slave to do it. Liu Nong didn't want Xue Yi to be harsh on the cold frost, and wanted to hide the matter for the time being, so that he would ask Xue Yi in detail later.

Xue Yi smiled: "It's not a big deal, I just remembered that you said that this cold frost was originally from Fengwu Country, because she didn't meet her relatives, so she sold herself in the palace, I thought that she was also an old person in the palace, so I want to take her out of the palace tomorrow to worship the prince, you go to find it, if she is there, you can ask her if she is willing to go out of the palace with me?" ”

Liu Nong bent his knees instead of Cold Frost to thank him: "Niang Niang is compassionate, if she has anything she doesn't want, the slave will go to find Cold Frost." ”

How did Liu Nong know that the origin of this cold frost was unknown but extraordinary, she had long been in Xue Yi's hands
