A gust of wind blew, and the fire, which was about to be contained, burst out again. The people in the courtyard were busy putting out the fire, pushing sand and piling up to surround the house.

Xiao Huaijin stood in the distance with the incense in his arms, watching the fire burn more and more.

It wasn't until the room burned to ashes that the noise stopped.

It was originally a good room, but only a few gray and black pillars stood stubbornly in it, supporting the abrupt wooden frame.

"What about her maid? And whom I have assigned to her to serve? Wanxiang spread Xiao Huaijin's arm and walked out, muttering as she walked out: "What about people? Where did all this waste go?! ”

Wanxiang saw a few gray-headed maids and maids standing in the corner of the courtyard with burnt hair, and Wanxiang rushed over violently, and grabbed the collar of the big girl in charge: "What's the matter?" Why is there such a fire?! ”

The frightened little girl was frightened by Wanxiang's red eyes, and she didn't know what to do, the tip of her nose was sour, tears fell, and she knelt on the ground with a crying voice and prayed for Wanxiang: "The princess is angry...... The princess is angry.

It was Miss Wei Rui who said that she wanted to be quiet, and sent us all to the long street to buy some rouge makeup powder or something. This courtyard has been idle for a long time, and there are not many people, except for the porter and guards guarding the outer courtyard, the rest are all taken away by Miss Wei Rui.

Miss Wei Rui's house had wine and hair oil for combing her hair, which fueled the fire, and the fire burned out of it. By the time the porter saw the fire, everything inside should have burned to the ground.

Even the door was locked from the inside by Miss Weirui. We tried to rush in to save people, but when we hit the door, the beams and the roof fell off, and we were burned like this. ”

Wanxiang pursed the corners of her mouth and put down the maid's car, turned around and wanted to rush in to pick up Wei Rui's body, she had to see Wei Rui really die in it with her own eyes before it was over.

The smoke had not yet cleared, and red sparks shimmered in the ashes. Liang Chou stopped in front of Wanxiang and said, "Princess, the fire is so big, the beams of the house are burned out, and people are afraid that they will have to turn into ashes a long time ago." ”

"Get out of the way."

Xiao Huaijin stood behind Wanxiang and shook his head at Liang Cuo, and Liang Cuo let go and called Wanxiang over.

The heat after the fire baked on her face, but it made Akira feel a little cold, as cold as when she was crushed under dozens of corpses.

The guards behind him followed Wanxiang in, and just a few steps inside, Wanxiang was hit by something to his feet, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a jade ring that had been burned and broken, and under the jade ring was a charred human bone.

The red brocade shoes took half a step back in a panic, she was frightened by a corpse, and she was so frightened that her feet fell to the ground with her feet limp, and Xiao Huaijin, who followed closely behind, caught her.

Then Wanxiang had a long dream, dreaming of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave more than ten years ago, dreaming of mud that was blended with blood and sand, and dreaming that the flowers of Changqing Valley were blooming again, but there were blood stains on it that could not be washed away by rain.

She was afraid, because there was no one in the valley of long-term love, so she ran around looking for it. Later, she found Wei Rui, the 'hard to find love' Wei Rui, the 'shallow and deep-talking' Wei Rui.

She sat among the grasses, wearing a plain shirt with her back to the incense.

Wanxiang shouted at her, "Wei Rui? ”

The person on the other side didn't speak, and Wanxiang said happily: "I know you won't die so easily." ”

Wei Rui in front of him slowly turned his head, just laughing and crying without saying a word.

Wanxiang walked towards her anxiously, but she couldn't go far this time, and the farther she went, her figure became more and more blurred.

Wanxiang kept running and shouting, and she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. He sat up from the bed violently, and shouted in his mouth: "Wei Rui! ”

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar curtain and smelled the familiar smell.

It was just a dream.

Xiao Huaijin stared at Wanxiang, looking unhappy. Qiu Di also stood aside, but there was some joy in his eyebrows that couldn't be hidden.

Wanxiang looked back and saw Xiao Huaijin, lay on the bed for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I dreamed of Wei Rui." ”

Xiao Huaijin only looked at her with a straight face and was silent, and the anxiety in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and finally Qiu Di said: "The princess still cares about herself." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Huaijin raised her eyes to look at Qiu Di, as if she was blaming her for talking too much.

Qiu Di lowered his head and turned to go out, leaving two people sitting on the edge of the bed. Only then did Xiao Huaijin speak: "Qiu Di is right, you still care about your own good." ”

As if she hadn't heard it, she looked at the curtain with empty eyes, and she thought about it repeatedly in her heart and finally said to Xiao Huaijin: "Maybe she didn't die, like Ji'er." ”

"It's burned like that."

"It's because it's burned like that." Wanxiang still had luck in her heart: "I told her to go to a place where no one knows her and start over."

Therefore, it may be that she deliberately set fire to cover up people's eyes and ears and leave without saying goodbye...... I found a stand-in at random. ”

Xiao Huaijin told Wanxiang unceremoniously: "She's dead." ”

Wanxiang turned around and saw Xiao Huaijin's unsmiling, indifferent eyes for everything. The silver lotus buckle on his waist hugged the blue and black clothes.

He reminded Wanxiang: "The people in the house on East Street are all arranged by you personally, no matter where the gate is, all the places where people can leave are guarded by guards."

Even if it was fighting fires, the people on duty never slackened. None of them saw any trace of Wei Rui. And the corpse in that house is already incomplete, so why should you lie to yourself? ”

“……”

"She's really dead." Xiao Huaijin held Wanxiang's hand, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" You've never been a businessman.

That little friendship with Wei Rui won't make you so sad. ”

A person has lived in the cold pool for a long time, and when a slightly warmer hand reaches over, he can't help but desperately grasp it.

Wei Rui's clenched hands pushed her into a catastrophe again, the so-called 'drinking ice water on a cold day, dripping in her heart', how cold should her heart be, before she remembered to use such a big fire to keep warm?

Wanxiang leaned on the cushion of silver silk embroidery Bai Ze and said to Xiao Huaijin: "What she has suffered is exactly what I can't even think about." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Huaijin to speak, he heard a 'squeak' and the door was pushed open again, and Qiu was about to walk in and nagged: "Fortunately, the princess is awake, and this medicine can be drunk by herself." The doctor said that the princess's fetus was unstable, so this medicine ......"

Before Qiu Di finished speaking, he was glared back by Xiao Huaijin, and he didn't even know whether to put down the medicine in his hand in a panic.

Xiao Huaijin stretched out his big hand to take the medicine bowl and said to Qiu Di: "Go out, no one is allowed to come in." ”

"Yes." After Xiao Huaijin's words, Qiu Di hurriedly ran out with a wooden plate, stood outside the door, patted his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if he has been serving in the palace for a long time, as long as Xiao Huaijin glares, Qiu Di still wants to flee in all directions as if he is facing a great enemy.

Liang Cuo, who was guarding the door, saw Qiu Di frightened like this, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking gloating. Qiu Di took a deep breath to calm himself down, and asked Liang Cuo like a nobody: "What is General Liang laughing at?" ”

"What are you not laughing at?"

"Really?"

"The prince is angry?"

"Not really." Qiu Di glanced at the window worriedly: "It's just that he doesn't look very happy, and he keeps a straight face, isn't it a good thing that the princess is happy?" ”

"Nature is a good thing." Liang Cuo didn't spare his words at all, and patiently explained to Qiu Di: "It is precisely because the prince cares that he is unhappy." ”

Qiu Di asked puzzledly: "What is the truth of this?" ”

"Sadness can bury the will, and sorrow can hurt people. The prince probably didn't expect that the princess and Wei Rui would have such affection, and the princess would be so sad. How can people not be worried? ”

"That's right." Qiu Di looked suddenly enlightened, the corners of her lake-green clothes were lifted by the wind, and the hair on her sideburns hung on her mouth.

Liang Cuo wanted to reach out to help her straighten her hair, but he remembered the boundary between men and women, pressed the hand that wanted to be raised, and nervously placed it on the saber.

"I didn't expect that just after meeting a few times, the princess would have to do such a big favor to Miss Wei Rui."

"Some people have known each other for decades, but they still can't stand the sentence 'people's hearts are separated from their stomachs', but some people have just seen it, but they have nothing to talk about at first sight."

"Oh." Qiu Di nodded and stopped talking, seeing the old tree in the yard playing with his fingers like a nobody, Liang Cuo also pretended to be comfortable and turned his eyes away.

The people inside didn't speak, and neither of them dared to leave without permission, so they just stood and watched.

After being silent for a long time, Qiu Di said: "The princess's dizziness is really scary. ”

Liang Cuo nodded: "Well, it's scary." was so frightened that Fu Yu couldn't sit still in the courtyard anymore. ”

"Then why didn't he come to the East Courtyard to have a look?"

"What can he do when he's here? Maybe you're going to get into trouble again. ”

"Hmm."

Speaking of these two people, they were speechless again, sluggish as the door god pestle who had just come to the door on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wei Rui's death set off the old scar in Wanxiang's heart more than ten years ago, and she began to feel uneasy again. Even if you take a sip of water, you have to smell it more.

The imperial city said that it was big and small, but a fire broke out in a house, and it was already put on the tea table as soon as it was dawn.

Some people say that this fire was lit by Qi Hou, some people say that it was lit by King Xiang, some people say that it was lit by the Suiguo Mansion, and some people say that it is the retribution suffered by Xiao Huaijin who held the military power in his hand and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world.

They hid in the shadows that Xiao Huaijin couldn't see, talked wantonly, and when they left their own door, they respected and praised the regent again.

Coincidentally, this day is also the day when Princess Yongsheng came out. And the road they took to see off the Duke of Suiguo happened to pass by the burning house.

The little boy stood behind the Duke of Suiguo and asked, "Father, is it more true?" ”

Sui Guogong looked at him coldly, and only said: "It's clean even if it's dead." ”

I thought that Xiao Huaijin and Wanxiang would not be able to hear this sentence when they were no longer in front of them, but this sentence reached Wanxiang's ears.

She sat opposite Xiao Huaijin, Xiao Huaijin picked up the medicine bowl and tasted the decoction, and said softly: "It's not bitter." ”

Wanxiang took the medicine bowl and drank it all: "It's good to be bitter from time to time." ”

"There are many people in the Suiguo Mansion, so don't go, wait for me to come back in the mansion."

"Of course I'm going." Wanxiang reached out and took a candied fruit and put it to her mouth, but she gently put it down, and said very firmly: "I want to give it to Princess Yongsheng." ”
