The person on the simple bed in the house coughed even more, and the cold and stiff tattered blanket on his body seemed to be cold no matter how he covered it, and the girl dressed in linen brought out a basin of water from the kitchen, and hurriedly squatted in front of the bed and put the basin on the ground,

"Mother, how are you?" Nalan Fanghua reached out and probed the forehead of the person on the bed, and when she touched the hot skin, she frowned, and withdrew her hand violently, anxiously not knowing what to do.

"What should I do, my mother's high fever does not go away, it seems that the fever is even worse!"

It's not that she hasn't thought of a way to make money, but on the first day of working in the Golden Jade Pavilion today, the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion was kind enough to give her two more yuan, but the few pennies a day's wages can't buy expensive medicinal materials at all.

She has no relatives here, and no one is willing to lend her money, and she was almost robbed to be a concubine, and finally met Nan Qiao, but no matter how she begged Nan Qiao, it was like a different person, and she didn't pay attention to her at all.

Nalan Fanghua really had no choice, and she was worried about the Zhao family, so she cried and came back to serve the Zhao family.

"Mother, it's all to blame for her daughter's lack of ability, tomorrow, her daughter will definitely give you medicine, you must hold on..."

Thinking of today's encounter, Nalan Fanghua, who had just turned twelve, had a sour nose and couldn't help crying.

At this moment, the dilapidated door was kicked open with a bang, and several slender men in black broke into the house.

Nalan Fanghua stood up violently and looked at these people with weapons in horror,

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

The leader opened the drawings in his hand, compared them and asked, "You are Nalan Fanghua?" ”

Nalan Fanghua's face was pale with fright, and she trembled for a long time before she said a word, "I... I'm not, you've mistaken someone! ”

At this time, it was difficult for her not to admit her identity.

"It's really easy for us to find, the others in Nalan Mansion have been solved one by one, and when we solve your mother and son, we can go back to deal with the emperor completely!"

Seeing a few people approaching, Nalan Fanghua's legs retreated softly, and her legs bent against the edge of the bed, and there was no way to retreat.

"No, don't kill me, please don't kill me!" Nalan Fanghua was so frightened that she squatted on the ground and hugged her head.

Just as one of them raised his weapon and cut down, a golden dart flew out of the darkness outside the window, hitting the person's neck, and suddenly, the figure froze, and when Nalan Fanghua opened her eyes again, a corpse fell beside her, making a dull sound.

"Ahh The young Nalan Fanghua instinctively screamed, and squatted in front of the bed again with his head in his hands and shivered.

Immediately afterwards, before the other people in the house could react, several more people were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground and died, leaving only the last person.

"Who? Come out! ”

The masked woman looked at the window vigilantly, the weapon in her hand was protected on her chest, and when she looked closely, except for the shadow of a tree, she didn't see anyone's figure there, even if there were people, she didn't dare to go carelessly to check.

In the next second, when the masked woman noticed that something was wrong behind her, the cold air of the blade was directly against the skin of her neck, and the long sword was already on her neck, an unprecedented sense of danger and fear struck strongly, the masked woman's legs trembled, and she no longer dared to be presumptuous, and the weapon in her hand slid to the ground, making a clanging sound.

"Don't kill me!" The masked woman said in a trembling voice.

"Why assassinate them?" The woman behind her said in a calm voice, trying to hide her identity.

"We are on the orders of Emperor Yuelan to kill all the exiles in Nalan Mansion!" The masked woman confessed honestly.

"Why did the imperial daughter kill the people of Nalan Mansion?" The man behind him asked.

The masked woman didn't dare to hide it, "We are just acting on orders, and we don't know the meaning of the emperor." ”

"It's been a good month for Emperor Lan, I really want to find a chance to see the majesty of your imperial daughter!" When the words fell, in the not bright light, I saw the long sword slide back quickly, blood splattered from the blade, and the masked woman who had not yet reacted fell to the ground with a thud, and there was no longer any life.

Nalan Fanghua in the house was already frightened, and screamed again, originally thinking that she would also die, but the person who came threw down the money bag, "Take the silver and leave here, hide it well!" ”

The long sword was inserted back into the scabbard with a thud, and as soon as the mysterious woman walked to the door, she was stopped by a childish, soft and trembling voice behind her, "Are you Sister Nan Qiao?" ”

The person at the door paused, and the next second spit out two words, "No!" ”

Nalan Fanghua wanted to say something, but at the broken door, the figure had already disappeared into the darkness, and there was nothing else except the rustling of the wind.

In the middle of the night, in the Forget Worry Pavilion, a dark shadow quickly sneaked into a courtyard and disappeared.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock at the door, and Nan Qiao, who had not had time to take off her night clothes, frowned slightly, there was no light in the house, but the moonlight outside the window came in, and her eyes were faintly dark.

"Jojo, did you sleep?" It was Cen Xi's voice.

In the next second, a somewhat sleepy female voice came from the house, "Xi, I've fallen asleep, you wait for me first, I'll get up and open the door for you!" ”

Cen Xi smiled with relief, "I'm just here to see you, since I'm asleep, I'll have a good rest, no need to get up!" ”

"Xi came to see me, how can I not see it?" The people in the house seemed eager to see him.

"Qiaoqiao is obedient, rest well, I have something important to tell you tomorrow."

"Alright then!" The female voice sounded a little lost, "I'm going to see you early tomorrow, and I'll go back and rest early." ”

"Okay, good night!" It wasn't until he left completely outside the house that the people in the house stuffed the night clothes they had taken off under the bed.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Nanqiao went directly to Cen Xi's yard, at this time Cen Xi had just gotten up, wearing a dark blue loose robe, embroidered with golden rich peonies in the corner of the robe, his chest was slightly exposed, his strong muscles were faintly visible, and the belt on his body was also tied very casually.

Seeing Nan Qiao, his lazy aura suddenly disappeared.

Nan Qiao would only easily show a smile in front of him, "Xi, you said you had something to tell me last night, what is the matter?" ”

Cen Xi sat on the chair in front of the dresser, and the maid behind him went up to comb his black hair, seeing that he was not busy answering, Nan Qiao naturally took the sandalwood comb from the maid's hand and combed his hair carefully.

"The green jade crown is noble and elegant, and the golden jade crown is even more noble, I don't know which one Xi uses today?"

Looking at the girl in the mirror who was becoming more and more outstanding, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, "Qiaoqiao's craftsmanship is exquisite, as long as you wear it for me, I like it!" ”

She picked up the golden jade crown and put it on for him, "Then the golden jade is the best match for Xi's temperament!" ”

When she was just right for him, her wrist was pulled by the person in front of her, and she was easily pulled into his arms.

The smile on Nan Qiao's face froze inadvertently, and the next second she looked as usual, and reached out to hook his neck.

Seeing this, the maids who were waiting around all blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to take a second look, and automatically and orderly exited the room.

In the room, the temperature seems to be gradually rising, but her eyes have always carried the same meaning of admiration.

"Creek wants me?"

At such a close distance, her lips were only a finger away from his, and even her breath was intertwined.

"What do you say?" His voice was low, and he asked rhetorically with a mute voice.

Her eyes did not flee, there was no girlish shyness at all, in addition to admiration, there was also obvious longing, she hooked the corners of her lips and said slowly,

"I also want the stream, because the brook can make me forget the shame of being bullied by others, as long as every time I think of the months when I was locked in a cage by him, forced me to conceive his child, forced me to take all kinds of fertility decoctions, I was very sad and miserable during those days, if only the stream could save me."

The flame that had been burning in his heart began to gradually extinguish, and the hand around her waist unconsciously loosened, "Are you sad?" But he's dead! ”

Nan Qiao's eyes gradually became cold when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth, "I hate to kill him with my own hands, but it's a pity that he didn't die in my hands, in this life, I'm afraid those things will never be forgotten..." ”

Seeing her lips slightly closer, Cen Xi slowly closed his eyes, and finally at the moment when she was about to touch him, he reached out to block the kiss she offered.

His eyes slowly opened, looking at her in front of him without the slightest desire, Cen Xi comforted in a somewhat stiff tone,

"Qiaoqiao, it's all my fault, if I could rescue you in time at that time, so many things wouldn't have happened, in the future, I will accompany you to slowly forget until you don't remember!"

His hand had been completely released, Nan Qiao nodded obediently, and stood up from him with a long sigh, looking slightly sad.

In order to divert her attention, Cen Xi picked up the previous words again, "By the way, Yuwenmo gave Mu Baizhuo and Liu Feiyan a marriage, and in a few days it will be the day when the two get married, this time I want to hear Qiao Qiao's opinion?" ”

Nan Qiao pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "The marriage of the two families seems to be powerful and not good for us, but..."

She wanted to speak and stopped, Cen Xi was a little curious about her next words, "But Yuwenmo is so strong that Mu Baizhuo's power is so strong, isn't he afraid that one day he will raise a tiger and become a new threat to him?" ”

After Cen Xi sighed, he quietly listened to her and continued, "When I was friends with Mu Baizhuo before, I knew that he did not have a good relationship with Yuwenmo, just take the dead Dongjun King as an example, once because of his brother's affairs, Yuwenmo almost beheaded him, and later because of Ji Wuyu, Yuwenmo secretly suppressed the Dongjun Wangfu three times and twice, and even found an excuse to send Mu Baizhuo to exterminate the mountain bandits, and then often imprisoned him, if I were him, once I gained power, the first person to deal with was Yuwenmo!" ”

Cen Xi looked at her with a somewhat complicated gaze, and there was a hint of surprise hidden in it, his Qiao Qiao was so smart, even he didn't expect this,

"What do you mean by Qiaoqiao, Mu Baizhuo can be used by us?"
