Shen Muxi and Bo Yunxiu came out together, everyone was in the backyard, and the things were dug out under the maple tree on the edge of the rockery.

"Mother, it's an altar!" Shen Zhi was ecstatic, "It's a baby!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Muxi's face turned slightly red, and he immediately stepped forward and quickly stopped everyone, "Don't move, this is my thing!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but when they saw Shen Zhi and Bo Yu, they quietly squatted down, quickly pried open the lid of the altar, and poured out all the things inside.

"You guys!" Shen Muxi's face was hot.

Bo Yunxiu took a long step, and had already walked to the front, and actually messed around with the two little ones, squatting there and fiddling with the gadgets on the ground.

There are rattles, embroidered handkerchiefs, all of which are objects that the daughter's family played with when she was a child, bits and pieces, but she saved so much, all of them are hidden in this jar and buried under the maple tree here.

"What is this?" Bo Yunxiu carried a sachet and looked back at Shen Muxi with an embarrassed face, "Wild ducks? Sunset? ”

Shen Zhi looked at it carefully, "It seems to be morning glory and dog tail grass!" ”

"What!" Shen Muxi quickly recaptured, "This is the first time I have embroidered by a female worker, where is a duck, it is clearly a mandarin duck!" Also, keep your eyes open and see clearly, it is obviously a lotus flower and a lotus leaf, how did it become a morning glory and a dog's tail grass? I really don't know the goods! ”

Bo Yunxiu raised her eyebrows, she embroidered it??

Wild ducks?

Mandarin duck!!

Think about it, he was with her at the beginning, and he really didn't see her take a needle and thread, fortunately, he didn't take it, this mandarin duck can embroider the feeling of a wild duck, if you embroider a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang or something like that in the future, it is estimated that it will become a legless centipede and a stray cockfight?

Just think about it!

Shen Zhi blinked, "Mother embroidered before?" ”

"Mother is much better now, weren't all the clothes you wore when you were a child made by your mother?" Shen Muxi's face was hot, and he glanced at Ah Luo and Chunxiu who were snickering beside him, "Who was born to do this?" What's more, I didn't have a mother since I was a child, so naturally no one taught me. ”

Xia Wenqing was walking into the corridor, and when he heard this, his eyebrows twisted slightly.

"Hey, mother, what is this, it's so beautiful!" Shen Zhi was carrying a jade pendant, his face full of joy, "Mother, is this what you played with when you were a child?" Can I give it to Zhi'er? ”

"Hey, this jade pendant is so weird." Bo Yu was puzzled, "What kind of material is this, it's not like mutton fat white jade, it looks smooth and smooth, but it's very light, it shouldn't be jade......"

"What's that?" Shen Zhi was puzzled, put it in his hand and checked it, "It's really light." ”

The two children pinched the jade pendant and pointed to the light, and they said in unison, "Wow, it's so beautiful inside!" ”

Bo Yunxiu didn't take it coldly, her eyebrows were furrowed, she looked like the two children, and looked at the light, only to see that there were some bright red veins inside, like blood.

This is not a jade pendant, it is a domino representing the identity of the Immortal Gate.

"Chunxiu, Ah Luo!" Shen Muxi also realized that something was wrong, "You take the two children to the front yard to play!" ”

"Good!" Chunxiu and Ah Luo immediately led their two children away.

In this way, Xia Wenqing walked over quickly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Where did this thing come from?" Bo Yunxiu spread out his palms.

Shen Muxi immediately picked it up, "Dominoes? I don't know, it's not mine, it's not what I put in. Brother, you put this thing in? Or maybe it's ...... dad back then."

"What nonsense are you talking about, it's just a jade pendant!" Xia Wenqing's face was slightly sick, and she looked at the dominoes in her hand with a slight emptiness, "This thing, the Xia family has a lot of it, and my father was a university scholar at the beginning, so he ......"

"So what do you have a weak heart?" Bo Yunxiu interjected.

Xia Wenqing pursed his lips, he is just a weak scholar, he has never quarreled with the world, where can he lie, he said two sentences like this, his palms were already sweating, and then he was pushed by Bo Yunxiu like this, and his complexion changed completely, "I, how can I have a weak heart?" ”

"Brother, every time you lie, your palms sweat." Shen Muxi sighed lightly, "Who gave me this thing?" ”

"I don't know!" Xia Wenqing turned around and left.

"Ha, I don't know if there's anything else, I'll look for it." As he spoke, Shen Muxi squatted down and picked up the piles of small objects again.

"Don't look for it!" Xia Wenqing was a little panicked, and hurriedly stopped Shen Muxi, "The things here are all hidden by yourself, what are you hiding, don't you count them in your heart?" This thing is just one piece, only this one, no more! ”

Bo Yunxiu let out an "oh", "Just one piece!" ”

Xia Wenqing froze on the spot for a moment, unable to speak.

"Brother, aren't you going to tell the truth?" Shen Muxi sighed lightly, "How did this thing come about?" Bo Yunxiu, don't you think this thing is very familiar? One eye, Nether Flower, Pentagram...... By the way, brother, in the Yongan Teahouse, is the painting on the wall very similar to this? Brother, do you want to compare it?? ”

"The status symbol of the Immortal Gate." Bo Yunxiu stood with his hands in his hands, "The Qin prisoner who harbored the Immortal Gate, the many years of grievances suffered by the Xia family before it don't seem to be wronged, I'm afraid it's going to be confirmed!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Wenqing was naturally anxious, "Lord Wang, although this thing is my father'......"

"Huh?" Shen Muxi and Bo Yunxiu stared at Xia Wenqing in unison.

The three of them looked at each other, and now what does this mean, obviously there is no need to say anything.

"You two, join hands to trick me!" Xia Wenqing was slightly frustrated, "You two...... It's too much! ”

"Brother, I am a member of the Xia family, the Xia family was wronged at the beginning, I failed to do my best, today I must investigate to the end, if you can't tell the truth, I have to check it myself. As for what can be found, although it is not known, but paper can't hold the fire! "Shen Muxi has always been stubborn, if he makes up his mind, he will definitely fight to the end.

At the beginning, she was able to cheat death and leave the Xia family, and she also wanted to be with Bo Yunxiu, and then she cheated to death and left Bo Yunxiu, and she was so resolute, which shows her strength.

Xia Wenqing's face was gloomy, but she was really afraid of her.

"That's it, you come along!" Xia Wenqing turned around and left, "Do you remember the aunt who lived in the mansion when we were children?" ”

Aunt?

Shen Muxi shook his head, "I'm not impressed." ”

Xia Wenqing paused and glanced at her with a slight hesitation, "You really don't remember?" ”

In fact, Bo Yunxiu didn't hear Shen Muxi mention any aunts or anything like that, only heard that Xia Li'an's wife died because of difficult childbirth, and Xia Li'an didn't renew the string since then, so naturally she didn't know what kind of aunts she had.

Xia Li'an has been clean and self-conscious all her life, never contaminated with these things, and even really achieved the point of not drinking a drop of alcohol.

It stands to reason that such an elder can't have any miscellaneous women hiding in the backyard. If there is really a good woman, marry back, after all, Xia Li'an's wife has passed away, and it is understandable to find a woman to run the family.

"What aunt?" Shen Muxi thought for a long time, and there was a vague shadow in his mind, "A beautiful woman?" ”

"You really don't remember!" Xia Wenqing sighed lightly and led the two into the courtyard.

This was originally his father's yard of Xia Li'an, and after Mrs. Xia died, Xia Li'an still lived there, and the flowers and plants in the yard were still the same as they were at their original level.

Bo Yunxiu naturally wouldn't tell the two brothers and sisters that the flowers and plants in the yard had died several times, but in the end, they were all replaced by him. The flowers and plants in front of us are no longer the original flowers and plants, but they ...... The variety is the same! "I've only met this aunt a few times, but you were young at the time, so it's understandable that you can't remember it." Xia Wenqing limped in the door and pointed to the flowers and plants in the yard, "Do you remember these?" ”

"In the past, I stepped on it badly, and I was hung up and beaten by my father." Shen Muxi's face was a little panicked, especially Bo Yunxiu who followed on the side.

Xia Wenqing smiled, "How can my father give up the things left by my mother?" Lord Wang, please come here! ”

Bo Yunxiu glanced at her meaningfully and walked forward.

"Dad's things were almost searched at the beginning, and the study was turned upside down, and everything that should have been taken was taken away, so there was not much left. I counted a batch two days ago, and this will be the end of the matter. Xia Wenqing entered the study and took out a painting from the painting jar, "Look at this!" ”

Bo Yunxiu took the first step and reached out to take it, but Shen Muxi was disappointed, so he had to follow him and watch him open the picture scroll.

The painting shows a woman, but ......

With a steep frown, Bo Yunxiu squinted at the two brothers and sisters, "This person is the aunt you are talking about?" ”

"It's her!" Xia Wenqing was very sure, "Dad has been taking it all the time, and he doesn't take it out much, I just accidentally took a look at it." Dad said that this aunt is kind to our family, so she will accept it so carefully. ”

"Grace?" Bo Yunxiu looked at the two thoughtfully, "What kind of kindness?" ”

Xia Wenqing thought for a while, "It seems to be a life-saving grace, as Dad said, one life for another." ”

"You're not human, are you?" Shen Muxi asked.

Bo Yunxiu nodded, "I really know!" ”

Shen Muxi was stunned, "The people who left the palace? ”

"No, it's from Guan Ju Palace!" Bo Yunxiu sighed lightly and handed her the scroll, "After the death of my mother, she took care of me for a while, but then I don't know why, I lost my trace!" ”

"Missing, that is, life without seeing people, death without seeing corpses?" Shen Muxi looked at the woman on the picture scroll, and there were some vague shadows in her mind, like but not very similar, after all, she really couldn't remember.

Bo Yunxiu nodded, "Yes!" I remember everyone called her Aunt Han at that time. ”

At a young age, he became the palace maid in charge of Guan Ju Palace, which shows the importance that Concubine Nan attached to him at the beginning.

"Aunt Han, why did you disappear then? What happened? Shen Muxi hurriedly asked, "Does this Aunt Han have any acquaintances in the Eastern Capital?" Who is she? ”

"The palace people of Guanju Palace have always been personally selected by the father, and all the palace files are handed over by the father to a special person for safekeeping. After the death of the mother, all these files were burned by the emperor, so if you want to find this person, you want to know her life and whereabouts, I am afraid it is difficult to reach the sky! Bo Yunxiu said it very bluntly, and he didn't quite understand why his father did this.

It wasn't until later, when he hid Xia Wenxi in the backyard, that he knew what the weakness was!

Since it is a weakness, it should be hidden at all costs, and the tighter the concealment, the better.

My father often said that if he could hide his love and grace, maybe his beloved would not leave so early, and everything would be too much, and his fate would be over early.

Bo Yunxiu firmly remembered this sentence, and then used it on Xia Wenxi without hesitation.

"Why do the people in Guan Ju Palace have something to do with my father? Why is there a life-saving grace? What is the purpose of her coming to and from the Xia family? Shen Muxi's mind was full of question marks, "Is it entrusted by your mother?" ”

Where did Bo Yunxiu know that the affairs of the previous generation had long been diluted by them, and the only questions left were unclear.

"Brother, how did you get the grace of saving your life?" Shen Muxi asked.

Xia Wenqing thought for a while, "It seems to be because of you!" ”

"Me?" Shen Muxi's eyes widened, "Saved me?" ”

She really didn't remember it.

"I don't know the specifics!" Xia Wenqing tugged at the corners of his lips, "Dad's temperament, you don't know it, he is a stuffy gourd, he can't say anything when he asks, how dare we ask him!" ”

That's right.

Xia Li'an has always acted according to the rules, and in the entire Xia family, only his daughter is unruly, either climbing the wall or making trouble, and even worse, she simply cheated to death and ran away with Bo Yunxiu!

Fortunately, my father didn't know that his daughter was still alive until he died, otherwise he would have been even more sad and sad.

"I'll check on this matter!" Bo Yunxiu accepted the scroll in her hand, "Tell me about the origin of the dominoes!" ”

Xia Wenqing was stunned for a moment, it's over, this hasn't been bypassed, why did this Bo Yunxiu turn the topic back again......

"Brother, what's going on with the dominoes?" Shen Muxi patronized to think about his aunt's affairs, and almost forgot to get down to business.

Xia Wenqing laughed dryly, it was rare to be clever, but he was dodged by Bo Yunxiu, this person is really ...... It's hard to deal with, "Naturally, it was given by this aunt, and I said that I would leave a souvenir for you to play with, but then where did my father put it, I don't know!" If it hadn't fallen out of the jar, I wouldn't have known that my father was hiding in your jar. ”

Bo Yunxiu looked at Shen Muxi thoughtfully, with a slightly complicated color in her eyes, "When you buried the altar, who else knows?" ”

"Nobody knows!" Shen Muxi shook his head, "At that time, I was a ghost, thinking about ......"

Thinking about cheating to death, being with him.

"So only I know about this thing, as for my father's ......" Shen Muxi was also surprised, "Xu saw it secretly?" In the past, this maple tree was not big, but now it is a tall tree. ”

"I've observed, that position doesn't look like someone has been pried open recently, it should be that after you buried it, someone opened it and put the dominoes in!" Bo Yunxiu narrowed his eyes, "Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father!" ”

The feather eyelashes were raised in shock, and Shen Muxi's face turned pale when he landed, "What did you say?" ”

Bo Yunxiu sighed and walked out the door.

Xia Wenqing was a little stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Dad already knew that I was leaving, so this domino was deliberately left to me." The tip of Shen Muxi's nose was sour, "Dad actually expected it, and he also knew that only I knew this location, if I came back in the future, I would open this jar again......"

Xia Wenqing was surprised, "That is to say, Dad already knew that you were cheating on death, and deliberately did not look for you when you died!" ”

"Dad should have sensed the threat of the first prince at that time, so when I cheated to death, Dad simply pushed the boat down the river, and when I died!" The people of the Xia family can live one by one.

Only by running out can you live.

Bo Yunxiu was waiting outside, and when Xia Wenqing came out, the two exchanged glances, and Xia Wenqing strode away.

"I know there are some things that you will have a hard time with." Bo Yunxiu bowed slightly, "Shen Muxi, it's been seven years, isn't it too late for you to be sad now?" Instead of being entangled in it and unable to extricate yourself, it is better to cheer up, return your father's innocence first, and prove his innocence! ”

"My father will not rebel, that is a crime of desire!" She was stiffened by her neck, and her face was pale.

"Do you want to know what happened back then?" He asked.

Shen Muxi nodded without hesitation.

He still bent over, didn't speak, just stared straight at her.

The two of them stared at each other with such big eyes, like two clay wood sculptures.

"I'm going to talk to you about something!" He looked at her seriously, and his tone was as if discussing the world's major affairs, with extreme rules and a little seriousness, "Always be ready to show your trust in me, as well as your sincerity!" ”

Shen Muxi was stunned, trust is easy to say, she believes it, but this sincerity is ...... His face was slightly gloomy, and he was a brazen person, "It's not a gentleman's job to take advantage of people's danger!" ”

"A gentleman should have the world in mind...... And you! He looked at her very seriously.

She didn't speak, just gouged out her eyes at him.

"That's it, you're the only one in mind!" He thought, so clearly, and so sincerely, she can always understand, right? In Bo Yunchong's words, if you can't be too anxious and can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you should take it step by step.

How strong Shen Muxi's temperament is, Bo Yunxiu has monitored it, but if she doesn't answer any questions positively, she doesn't count them. It's as if she asked him whether to marry or marry, in fact, she just said it casually, if she didn't completely untie this dead knot in her heart, it would be a dilemma after all.

Bo Yunxiu was very scared, in case this girl turned around and ran away again...... The world is so big, he has to find the Year of the Monkey to just get it back?

After seven years of suffering, he was really fed up!

Looking at him with a cautious look, Shen Muxi's eyebrows became more and more frowned, looking around, fortunately there was no one, standing on tiptoe and taking a sip on his lips, and then quickly took a step back, "Can you say it?" ”

"Very good!" Bo Yunxiu straightened up, "Let's follow!" ”

Shen Muxi followed him and pricked up his ears to listen to him mention the case of the Xia family back then.

"Not long after you entered and left the palace, something happened to the Xia family, and your father was named a rebel, and he found something that cursed the first emperor in the courtyard of the Xia family." Bo Yunxiu said, "It's a wooden man, and it is engraved with the eight characters of the first emperor's birthday, and the first emperor was sick at that time, so as soon as this thing came out, the Xia family was already doomed." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly bent down to look at her, "Shen Muxi, that thing has been burned, but the original picture is still there, do you want to see it?" ”

Shen Muxi glared at him fiercely, took a step forward faintly, and then touched his lips.

Someone who had won the reward stood up straight, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if he was holding back a smile, and he had to keep a face and pretend to be serious, "At that time, the first emperor was terminally ill, and the queen and the crown prince Bo Yunlie controlled the overall situation of the court and politics, and wantonly eradicated dissidents in the name of the prince's imprisonment of the country. ”

"My father has always been upright and upright, how can he rebel? Those people believe it too! She grimaced.

"Believe it or not is one thing, at that time, Bo Yunlie controlled the Praetorian Guards of the Eastern Capital, the guards inside and outside the palace, and the military power of the Patrol Envoys, that is to say, at that time, everyone in the Eastern Capital City was slaughtered by them." Bo Yunxiu walked with his hands in his hands, recalling the fight back then, and he still gritted his teeth with hatred.

Shen Muxi's heart sank slightly, the "everyone" in Bo Yunxiu's mouth also included himself?

"Whoever Bo Yunlie wants to die, he has to die, the so-called crime is just a name!" The eyes of the yin owl were quenched with a dark streamer, and if it was condensed, it could drip into ice, "After your father was arrested and imprisoned, many officials also pleaded for mercy and thought of a way, but in the end? The strains and the derogatory reprimands have not had good results, just like the past years, which are widely implicated. ”

"I saw your father for the last time in prison, he has no desire to survive, but I hope I can keep your brother Xia Wenqing." Bo Yunxiu paused, "So I sneaked into my father's bedroom and begged for my father's last holy decree before his death, to pardon your brother's capital crime." ”

Shen Muxi was shocked suddenly, "The last one? ”

"I'm out of the palace with my front foot, and I'm ...... with my back foot Then came the news of his father's death. Bo Yunxiu smiled bitterly.

Now that I think about it, I was really reckless, too confident, too young and vigorous, and what he asked for should not be the holy decree of forgiveness, but the holy decree of the abolished prince, so ...... There will be no subsequent fighting.

"You...... Regicide? Shen Muxi's throat rolled subconsciously, "The crime of killing the king? ”

"Hmm!" He nodded.

The crime of killing the monarch is enough to make him irreversible.

"But I still didn't save Xia Wenqing, although Bo Yunlie let go and spared his life, he broke his leg halfway, making him ...... for the rest of his life" Bo Yunxiu thought that he didn't want to be the emperor after all, so he really didn't have that covetousness for the throne.

and even ...... Obviously, he could ask his father to abolish the crown prince, but he gave up because of his own selfishness. One thought, so that he and her could stand together again after a full seven years.

"I don't blame you!" Shen Muxi sighed, "The exchange condition is to behead my father?" Is that right? ”

Bo Yunxiu opened her mouth, thinking that she was a little at a loss, although it was indeed a condition of exchange, but ...... After all, it's his father-in-law, "In the end, I can't live with you!" ”

When the voice fell, he suddenly came up, and with lightning speed, in her stunned look, he instantly ran over her lips, "Compensation for you!" ”

Shen Muxi blinked his bright eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Too heavy?" He was stunned and a little panicked.

She was silent.

"Too light?" He hurriedly picked up her face, lowered his head and kissed her eyes, "Don't be sad, it's all over, isn't it?" ”

"I haven't experienced anything you said." She choked.

Bo Yunxiu was relieved, "Fortunately, you didn't experience it, if you were exiled and it was you who had your leg broken, I would go crazy!" ”

She looked up at him with red eyes, and forced the tears back into her eyes, "What about later?" ”

"Later, I went to prison, it was the fourth child who took the charge for me, and I came out, but he ......" Bo Yunxiu straightened up, gently took her into his arms, and looked at the dark night, like the sun in the prison, "I know that I will die, but I am afraid that I will die, what should you do alone in the palace?" So I was selfish for a while. ”

"After I came out, the fourth child left a bloody book in the prison, and then committed suicide by hanging the beam with his belt!" He squeezed her hard into his arms.

Shen Muxi's breath was short, but he was hugged tightly, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment, "Bo Yunxiu!" ”

"I'm here!"

"Bo Yunxiu!" She shouted again, "That painting in your study......"

"What painting?" He didn't get it.

She finally looked up at him, the night was hazy, against his handsome and unparalleled face, a little bewitching, "You hung a painting of Wei Xian'er on the easel in the study!" ”

Bo Yunxiu was stunned for a while, and then said, "The fourth child entrusted me to take care of his women and children, and I don't know who Wei Xian'er is, don't ask him if he wants to come to Huaying to see more, how will he recognize it when the time comes?" Women in this world are all born with the same appearance, except for you, how can I tell who is who? ”

Shen Muxi frowned, "Just like this?" ”

"What do you think?" He asked rhetorically.

Shen Muxi, "......"

"There has been a picture of you hanging there, that is, I was looking for Wei Xian'er in those days, so I hung her image for a few days." Bo Yunxiu was puzzled, "What, what's the problem?" ”

Shen Muxi gritted his teeth, it was really ......

Bo Yunxiu could feel the person in his arms, as if he was angry?!

He told the truth, was he still wrong?!

Ho, woman!

"You ......" Shen Muxi stomped his feet, "casually hang a woman's portrait in your study, what's the problem?" ”

Bo Yunxiu didn't think there was a problem, "The study is heavy, except for you, no one else is allowed to trespass, what's the matter?" ”

What's the matter?!

Shen Muxi gritted his back molars, "Didn't you just hang it for me?" ”

When the sound fell, Shen Muxi pushed him away and ran away quickly.

Bo Yunxiu looked confused, he didn't mean that!!

He could have sworn that the painting was really just hanging and looking, lest he find the wrong person!!

"So, jealous?"
