The rain fell for three days in a row, not too much, but it never stopped.

The flowers outside the eaves should have bloomed freely this season, but now they have been beaten into a decay.

Huo Changqing, who was dressed in plain white, walked alone from the promenade, and in the courtyard at the end of the face, one of Kong Muzi's favorite acacia trees was surrounded by flowers like felt, as if mourning the death of his master.

In the small garden behind the acacia tree, there is a well dug nearby to make it easier to irrigate the garden.

Inoue did not pretend to be a reel, Kong Muzi, who was titled as the county lord of Kangyue, had a name that made people feel weak when she heard it and a seemingly delicate identity, in fact, because Lao Ning Wang had no children under his knees, he taught her as a boy since she was a child, although she was the county lord, she was skilled in bowing and horses, and she didn't need anyone to help at all - this garden has always been set up by herself, and even Huo Changqing wanted to go in, so he had to ask her first.

It's just that you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Three days ago, five people came to the palace, with the queen mother's decree, he was called away by his mother, Mrs. Xuanguo, and when he returned to his usual place, he found that Kong Muzi and the close attendant were gone-chased out of the door, a very shrewd and capable aunt between the eyebrows was walking out of the small garden with four powerful grandmothers, and saw him, the aunt who was the leader smiled deeply, he knew that it was Qi Yun, who was the most trusted Qi Yun around the queen mother, and before he could speak, Qi Yun had already taken the initiative to greet him: "Junma looks in a hurry, But looking for the county lord? ”

"Not bad." Huo Changqing suppressed the foreboding in his heart, and reluctantly asked, "Dare to ask Mama, you can see ......"

"Of course I do." Qi Yun glanced at him meaningfully, "County Lord...... It's already been to Bliss, and I'm asking Junma for Miss's sake, so it's a good day to mourn! ”

"What did you say?!" Huo Changqing was so shocked that the whole person was stunned - since - his thoughts were interrupted by Qi Yun again, this female official who didn't even dare to slack off Changtai looked at him with a smile, her expression was calm, as if she was saying the most ordinary thing: "The county horse is really sad and confused, the county lord in order to give birth to an heir for you, regardless of her physical weakness, she became pregnant, and as a result, she gave birth to a young lady with her life, but she ...... Alas, poor county lord, at the same age as the flowers, if you know that the county horse is so sad for her, and you don't know that you can walk comfortably on the Huangquan Road? It's just that Junma is sad and sad, please take care of the young lady, the princess, and Mrs. Xuanguo, so as not to let the queen mother worry about it! ”

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were as cold as a blade: "Although the county lord is not born to the Queen Mother, he is also a person who has been raised by the Queen Mother herself, and now in order to continue the heirs of your Huo family, the Queen Mother cried a lot of tears in the palace...... The rain in the past few days seems to be the sorrow of the Queen Mother sensed by God, and the next one is endless! Even if Junma doesn't care about the Huo family, the old and the young, he still thinks that the Queen Mother is old, isn't it? ”

Huo Changqing stood in the rain in a daze, as if he hadn't heard her words at all.

Qi Yun saw it, and he was not angry, when he passed by him, he suddenly thought of something, paused, took out a soft object from his sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Look at the slave and maid are confused - this is the county lord She took the time to embroider it for the county horse before she died, the county horse, please look at the doll on this, the slave and the maid look at the silhouette and you look very similar to the county horse!" Youdao is the daughter Xiao's father, and when the young lady grows up in the future, she will definitely be like Junma, right? ”

Huo Changqing didn't look at it, with a gentle push of his hand, the belly pocket handed by Qi Yun was blown out of the railing by the wind and rain, and fell on the muddy ground, the most delicate pomegranate red background, with tooth color, dark color, pink and emerald green color, etc., embroidered a chubby doll lying on a banana leaf with great care, and also wore a gold collar around his neck, you can imagine how gentle and expectant the person who embroidered it is.

Qi Yun looked at him quietly, the wind and rain outside the fence seemed to be far away in an instant, for a long time, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, and the four people behind her suddenly shivered, and they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look more.

"Gunma is so ruthless!" Qi Yun smiled, his face was frosty, and he smiled lowly, "Or maybe Junma is calculated...... For Miss's sake, what will the Queen Mother do to you? Or is it for the sake of the Grand Master, what if the Queen Mother can't take you? ”

"I have only one wife, and that is Kang Yue." Huo Changqing's face was as pale as death, he stared at his belly pocket in the dirt, his eyes were cold, "That child Huo family won't want it, since my aunt is here, let's take it away by the way." ”

"You!" Qi Yun raised his head suddenly, "If it weren't for the county lord pleading for you on his deathbed—"

"I don't need her plea, if she has never provoked me in this life and this life, tell me to give her three kneels and nine bows every morning and dusk!" Huo Changqing slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Yun, there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "If I had known that I would meet her that day, I would rather draw my sword and kill myself than take a step out of Huo's mansion!" And also...... If the county lord that my aunt said is not Kang Yue, please silence, in my eyes, she has never been the county lord and is not worthy! ”

Ignoring Qi Yun's resentful face, Huo Changqing added: "This mansion is unlucky, even my Huo Changqing's wife, Lord Kang Yue, is dead, and the evil seed of that mother...... I'm afraid I won't be able to grow up, right? ”

“……”

Huo Changqing smiled, his pale and handsome face was full of malice and resentment, and he was about to leave with his sleeves brushed up, but he heard Qi Yun behind him say quietly: "Huo Changqing!" ”

"Auntie, what else do you have for advice?" Huo Changqing turned his head indifferently, "Or did the Queen Mother give another wine or sword?" Changqing is anxious to accompany Muzi underground, if your aunt has anything to say, please say it quickly! ”

Qi Yun was not shocked by the meaning of death in his words, but instead collected his emotions and smiled faintly: "Huo Changqing, before I came, the Queen Mother once predicted that you would die and would not thank the county lord for his kindness...... But in order to make the county lord blind, the queen mother can't disagree with her request to let you go, so the queen mother once said that if you answer like Fang Cai, she has a word to tell you. ”

"Oh?" Huo Changqing smiled absently.

"The county lord is noble, and he was ......still killed by the county mark" Huo Changqing didn't care about her verbal revenge, just looked at her with a light smile, and only listened to Qi Yun's words, "It shows that the county horse is hard, and the Huo family's identity is not as good as the county lord, the Taishi who removed the pillar stone of the country has Mrs. Xuanguo in the mansion, and there is the Huo family of Xifu Palace in the palace!" What does Gunma think? ”

She looked at the corners of Huo Changqing's mouth that gradually stiffened with a smile, and became happy from the bottom of her heart: "Junma and Miss are good in the Huo family, and the concubine is in the palace, so they can also be ...... The county lord said on his deathbed that she had never had the slightest pity from the county horse in her life, and she didn't want to see the county horse continue to protect the Kong clan on the Huangquan Road, so it was better to leave the county horse to accompany the young lady in the world, and let the young lady take her place and enjoy everything that should have been! ”

“…… Scold! Huo Changqing closed his eyes trembling all over, and after a while, Qi Yun had already reached the end of the corridor, but he heard his voice coming, with endless death and determination, "Pity and protection, it should have been given to my wife and children, what is she worth?" What did she come out of? All that should be? What the Queen Mother owes, forgive Changqing and dare not pay it back! ”

"This daughter can stay in the mansion, the concubine will be fine for a day, the Huo family will raise her for a day, and she can also be given the status of a daughter-in-law...... However, I want to pick the name! ”

Qi Yun brushed his head back, and Sen Ran looked back!

After a long time, she saw the rock-like persistence in Huo Changqing's eyes, thought of the Queen Mother's advice, and focused on being able to get the most favorable birth possible for the baby who had no biological mother as soon as he was born and was not accepted by his biological father and father's family, she reluctantly asked: "Then please ask Junma to tell the slave maid now, and after returning to the palace, I can tell the Queen Mother!" ”

"Her name is Huo Qinglian." Huo Changqing pondered for a moment and said word for word!

A few hours later, on the Detai Palace, because of the mourning of the past few days, the bedridden Empress Dowager Jiayi, after hearing this name, did not know where the strength came from, picked up a purple jade Ruyi at hand, and smashed it on the floor tiles of the dormitory, and the crisp sound of jade shattering made the waiters inside and outside kneel down one after another!

"Queen Mother!" Qi Yun was startled, fearing that she would get angry during her illness and her condition would worsen, but Jiayi's face was gloomy for a long time, and when she opened her eyes, she said weakly but firmly: "What about dinner?" Take it! ”

It has been difficult to eat and drink for several days, and at this moment he finally took the initiative to ask for food, Qi Yun was pleasantly surprised, and while instructing the palace people to go to the small kitchen to get food quickly, he said happily: "The Queen Mother can be regarded as surviving!" The slave is really worried these days! ”

"Humph! The mourning family is still alive, so treat the child like this, and wait for the mourning family to die...... Is there a way for her to live? The Empress Dowager Jiayi was weak in her illness, but because of her anger, she pinched off two nails and said through gritted teeth, "Although in order to give that child a good background, so that she will not be like ...... The same, I have to let her stay in the Huo family first, but when she grows up, she must choose a better reason to bring people into the palace! Otherwise, the mourning family is not at ease! ”

Qi Yun agreed: "Yes, yes, yes!" The queen mother is whatever she says, the people around the young lady are all hand-selected by the slaves, and even the water is mountain spring water bought from outside the Huo Mansion, and there will be no mistakes! The Queen Mother, please calm down and recuperate, only when you are well, can she be better...... Queen Mother, you don't know, Miss's nose and eyes are really similar to you! ”

"Really?" After the queen mother's seizure, she sighed lowly, what does the child who has only been born for a few days look like, and the henchman said this just to make himself happy...... But what the daughter came out of is different from what she came out of, and no matter how similar it is, the child also went...... She said in a hoarse voice, "You go and take out the edict from the dark compartment." ”

Qi Yun was stunned, and went quickly, and after a while, he brought a narrow brocade box, and in the box was a letter that had been written a long time ago, and had used the seal of the Queen Mother, and only had to write the date, the content was that the daughter of Ning Wang was the county lord, and he wanted to take him into the palace to be personally raised - this should have been a birthday gift for the person who was raised in the courtyard under the name of King Ning and turned sixteen years old in three months...... Because the man she loves, the wife she loves dearly, is also the lord of the county.

Jiayi stroked Yizhi silently, and said for a long time: "Burn it!" ”

Before he finished speaking, two tears fell on the silk and disappeared in an instant!
