There are many forks in the road in life, and you may take many wrong paths, but in the end you will eventually find the continent that leads to the ultimate goal.

Liu Piaoyi hopes that he will eventually be a life path that he wishes.

After dinner, Jian Xiu didn't come out of the study. Liu Piaoming walked in the garden and walked to his study gloomily.

The room was very quiet, a moth flew in the oil lamp, its wings were lit by the beating candle flame, a burst of fire made the room flicker, Liu Piaoyi raised his eyes to look at Jian Xiu.

Tonight's Jian Xiu had a slightly complicated look on his face, and his calm was mixed with a little melancholy.

"Ji'er, come here." Jian Xiu leaned slightly on the cushion behind him, opened his arms, and looked at Liu Piaoyi with a smile, his hair was a little messy and scattered on his shoulders, and in the soft night, he showed a somewhat charming look.

Liu Piaoyi was confused for a while, and couldn't help but follow Jian Xiu's thoughts, walked to his side and gently lay on his chest.

Jian Xiu lowered his head and gently imprinted a kiss on the corner of Liu Piaoyi's mouth. There was still a slight smell of wine on his lips.

"You've been drinking?" Liu Piao's consciousness gradually returned, and his face was no longer so gloomy.

"Hmm." Jian Xiu hummed softly, her voice still low and magnetic, and her hands around her back made her sit firmly on her lap.

"Because of the involvement of the Thunder Protector?" Liu Piao's emotions were not moving, and his voice was very flat. After asking, he suddenly felt that this was redundant, at this time, Jian Xiu was emotional, what else could it be if it wasn't for this matter.

However, those individuals who say that he is the person who has no life, this is really infuriating, at least Jian Xiu is angry. Liu Piao's memory is very clear.

Liu Piaoyi didn't know what kind of lifeless person the person leaning on this warm embrace would be, it was just a joke. But she believed, but the emperor in the palace would really be very sure and not have any doubts?

"The emperor asked me to rest in the palace, and before the matter was clarified, I didn't have to go to the court, I didn't have to do official duties, let me be leisurely."

Jian Xiu's voice came from the top of Liu Piaoyi's head, and his voice was a little tense.

Sure enough, "That...... That's how it can be good. Liu Piao's brows frowned slightly, and his tone was not as clear as Fang Cai's.

"It's okay, you should rest for your husband, and you can accompany your wife for a while, and then it's going to be the New Year, so it's okay not to go to the court and ignore the court." Jian Xiu's voice was long, so that people couldn't hear their emotions.

Liu Piaoyi leaned on Jian Xiu's arms and stood up, raising his eyes to look at the man in front of him, "If the emperor removes you from your post because of this, what will happen to you?" ”

Jian Xiu obviously hesitated for a moment, as if he had never thought about this question.

Looking at Jian Xiu's slightly frowning brow, Liu Piaoyi reached out to smooth out the folds of Jian Xiu's brow.

"You still don't want to, do you?" Liu Piaoyi felt a trace of indifference, and kept staring at Jian Xiu's expression when he asked this.

Half-loud, Jian Xiu said with a tired tone, "If the emperor really doesn't believe me, just withdraw, it's good to be a civilian." ”

Liu Piaoyi looked at Jian Xiu, secretly speculating about the sincerity of his words, maybe he just talked to her casually.

This night, the two shared the same bed, and after a hug, Jian Xiu fell asleep deeply, but Liu Piaoyi was confused and did not fall asleep. Unconsciously, she didn't notice that two lines of tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, wetting the pillow towel.

In a daze, I don't know when I fell asleep.

In the dream, I saw a familiar place again, the white fog was vast, and a cemetery suddenly appeared in the fog, a stone tomb that was a little strange in the fog was in front of me, and there were a few words written on the tombstone, and a name was particularly conspicuous - Lin Motian.

In the dream, Liu Piao's uncontrolled emotions were surprised, trance, and scared. I can't even get out of the white mist.

Circle after circle around the tomb, back and forth, and the tombstone was always in front of her eyes, and it could not disappear.

Nope-

When Liu Piaoji woke up from her dream, it was already dawn.

"Miss, I must have been tired last night." When Chunlin was waiting to freshen up, she generally said jokingly.

"Probably." Liu Piaomeng smiled softly, looking up and squinting into the sunlight.

"In fate, if two people can come together, it is fate, since there is fate, it will not die so fast."

Liu Piao's mind was sluggish, and his eyes were still looking out.

Chunlin couldn't understand, and her eyes were confused.

Retracting his emotions, Liu Piaoyi asked lightly, "What about the fourth young master?" ”

Chunlin replied, "I heard Wen Si say that the fourth young master went to find Li Ruzhang and Master Li." ”

"Oh." Liu Piaoyi was still as indifferent as water, and just nodded.

After a morning of silence, after breakfast, Liu Piaoyi went to the library in the mansion alone.

It's just that as soon as he pushed the door of the library open, he saw the figure of the third young master, Min Xiu.

Seeing Liu Piaoyi's sudden arrival, Min Xiu was stunned for a moment, but then smiled, "Yi'er came to find a book to read again?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Piaomei pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

"What are you looking for?" Min Xiu seemed to be smiling.

Liu Piaoyi was a little hesitant, but she also knew the third young master Min Xiu's personality very well, and she didn't talk much, even if she said something, she wouldn't tell others. Thinking of this, Liu Piao remembered, "There are many books in the house, I want to find out if there are any books about Tang Sai'er more than a hundred years ago." ”

Hearing this, Min Xiu's brows frowned slightly, and his expression was flat, "There shouldn't be, more than a hundred years ago, Tang Sai'er's rebel army was the target of the imperial court's heavy destruction, and the Ming Dynasty regarded that woman as a thief, and these people were not allowed to keep historical records about her in the mansion of a first-class official of the imperial court." ”

Min Xiu's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring Liu Piao's memory to the core.

Liu Piaoyi turned around in frustration, walked a few steps towards the door, stopped suddenly, and turned his head to stare at Min Xiu with a pair of watery eyes.

Min Xiu looked curious about her purpose today, and saw disappointment in her eyes.

"Third brother, you are full of all kinds of books, so do you know Lin Motian?" Liu Piaoyi asked suddenly.

The corners of Min Xiu's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he took two steps and pulled Liu Piaoyi into the room, and at the same time looked at whether there was anyone outside the door, and then looked at her again, and asked suspiciously, "Ji'er, what are you asking this person for?!" ”

From Min Xiu's words, Liu Piaoyi clearly understood that he must know this person, and there was some joy in his expression, and he immediately asked, "Third brother knows?" Tell me about it. ”

Min Xiu looked puzzled and stood in front of Liu Piaoyi: "Yi'er, why are you suddenly so interested in that person?" ”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Liu Piao's long eyelashes were lowered, and there was no emotion on his quiet face, "This third brother doesn't need to ask more," raised his eyes to look at him, she said very seriously, "If the third brother knows what to tell Yi'er." ”

Min Xiu hesitated for a moment again, and when he saw the woman's expectant eyes, he spoke.

"I read in a wild history, Lin Motian is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, twelve years ago, in Zhangjiamiao Village, Feicheng, Lin Motian led his White Lotus Sect to fight with the army ordered by Emperor Muzong for three days, and Lin Motian died. His White Lotus Sect collapsed for a while, and the imperial court also captured many traitors involved in the White Lotus Sect. Later, Emperor Muzong descended to Shengjin, as long as there was anyone who had anything to do with Lin Motian - there was no forgiveness for killing. ”

Hearing this, Liu Piao's face stiffened, and the shock in his heart lingered.

Min Xiu's gaze kept falling on her face, catching her strange look, guessing what she was thinking in her heart.

"Ji'er, can you tell me why you are curious about Lin Motian." Min Xiu's expression was slightly complicated.

Liu Piaoyi looked at Min Xiu, her face did not change at all, no one could see what she was thinking, "Feel free to ask, the third brother won't tell others." ”

Min Xiu gave Liu Piaoyi a complicated look, his brows frowned slightly, "Even Jian Xiu can't say it?" ”

Liu Piaoyi pursed his lips slightly, "Let's not say it, he has been upset recently, I'm just curious about that person, so I'm here to check, it's nothing." ”

After speaking, Liu Piaoyi blessed his body slightly, and then retired, Min Xiu was still looking at Liu Piaoyi's figure in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Coming out of the library pavilion, Liu Piaoyi walked slowly in the courtyard, and when he came to the main courtyard, he knew that the eldest lady Gu was in the small Buddha hall in the backyard, so he walked in gently.

The light in the Buddhist hall is not very bright, very solemn and solemn, when Liu Piaoyi walked in, the eldest lady Gu was kneeling on the futon, one by one plucking the Buddha beads on her wrist, her eyes were closed, and her face was pious.

Liu Piaoyi did not disturb Gu's memory, cleaned his hands and burned incense, and then knelt on another futon, closed his eyes and silently recited the scriptures.

She knew that the Gu family was praying for all safety in the house.

The night was slightly cool, and it should have been a good time for thousands of families to sleep, but too many people kept their eyes open until dawn.

In the early morning, the people in Qinghui Garden had already gotten up, and Liu Piaoyi was still sleeping, feeling dizzy and weak, unable to get up. I woke up groggy and fell asleep again.

When Liu Piaomeng woke up again, it was already noon, and he saw Chunlin Huaying cutting window flowers.

It's the New Year?!

Good fast days.

After freshening up, it was time for lunch, and Liu Piaoyi was anxious to go to the main courtyard to see the eldest lady Gu. Jian Xiu thought that she was just politely going to ask for peace, accompanied her, and casually had a meal with her mother.

But Liu Piaoyi came to ask that she wanted to spend this year in Qingluan Courtyard. These words made the eldest lady Gu a little puzzled. Generally, the New Year is spent in the house, how can I ask to go to another hospital?

Liu Piaoyi's smile was very light and faint, and almost no one could detect why she was, but Jian Xiu, who was sitting next to her, knew why she was. Because the two subordinates of Liufu in Luoding Prefecture were in Qingluan Courtyard, she wanted to be with them.

Before the Gu family could agree, Jian Xiu immediately said, "Mother, son wants to spend the New Year quietly with his wife. ”
