The emperor sat on the warm couch and rested, and the person standing next to him was Ji Rui.

When Ji Rui saw Shen Qing, he looked at the slight injury on her face, frowned slightly, and then looked at Ji Wuhuan, she was still the same as before, cold, and I don't know how the two of them got along with such a strange person.

"Father, it's here." Ji Rui spoke.

Only then did the emperor slowly open his eyes, and when he saw the two of them, he suddenly laughed and pointed to the position on the side: "Sit." ”

Shen Qing looked at Ji Wuhuan and saw him bowing his head, so he stepped forward and sat down with him.

"You are Shen Qing." The Emperor spoke.

Shen Qing's palms tightened slightly, he didn't call himself Princess Dayan or Princess Huainan, but called her real name.

Ji Wuhuan grabbed her hand, stood up with her, looked at the emperor, and said lightly: "This is the princess of the minister." ”

The emperor looked at Ji Wuhuan protecting the calf, and didn't say anything, but only sent the others in the house out, and then Ji Rui helped him sit up.

"I've heard of Meiyun Pavilion, which specializes in intelligence gathering, and has to kill some people if necessary." The Emperor laughed.

Shen Qing didn't speak, only looked at the gray-haired emperor and his already tired and unsparked eyes, knowing that his life was short.

The emperor knew that Shen Qing had acquiesced in not speaking, but he didn't mean to pursue it, so he just pulled out a letter.

"Do you remember your parents?" The Emperor asked with a smile.

Shen Qing shook her head, she had already forgotten her previous home, before Xuanyuan Li said that she was from Dawei, but she couldn't remember any memories of Dawei at all, only occasionally when she dreamed back at midnight, she had glimpsed a few figures, but she couldn't remember what the person in the dream looked like.

Ji Wuhuan remembered what the emperor said before, the orphan Shen family of the previous dynasty, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister's housekeeping will be handled by himself." ”

The emperor smiled and glanced at him: "You will protect your shortcomings." After that, he asked Ji Rui to bring the tea, and then stopped the cough that was about to come: "The orphan Shen family of the previous dynasty is the general's mansion, and both men and women in the mansion are capable ministers who can write and martial arts, but later they were unwilling to stay and serve me, so they all returned to the mountains, and I haven't found them so far." ”

When Shen Qing heard this, her face sank slightly, she didn't know where she came from, could it be that the emperor meant that she was from the Shen family of the previous dynasty?

The emperor did not stop, but seemed to be caught in his own memories, and told the past: "The mistress of the Shen family is the only princess of the previous dynasty, so the Shen family is not only capable, but also noble, and I also appreciate that arrogance and loyalty." After speaking, he looked at Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan, and his eyes were very emotional: "It's just that I never thought that you would actually become husband and wife, and fate is indeed too funny." ”

"The emperor means that I am the daughter of the Shen family, and Wu Huan is ......" Shen Qing's words paused, everyone knew about this matter, but no one wanted to say it.

Ji Rui lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, but the emperor smiled: "I have been tortured for so many years, sitting on the country, but there are no ignorant people around me to share." ”

Ji Wuhuan's face was gloomy, and he didn't seem to be willing to talk more about this topic.

"Is the emperor calling his ministers over just to say these words?" Ji Wuhuan's words seemed a little rude, but he knew that the emperor would not be angry.

The emperor looked at him, smiled, and put down the teacup in his hand: "Wuhuan, talk to me for a while, and it's not to punish you." ”

The emperor's tone was somewhat helpless, but Ji Wuhuan's attitude towards him was very complicated, if it weren't for him, why would he have lived so hard for so many years, like the residue of a flame burning, if it wasn't for Qing'er's appearance, he thought that sooner or later he would become a soulless killing machine, and he didn't know what love was.

"I think the fourth prince has already entered the palace at this time to report to Xuanyuan Li's escape, if the emperor is fine, go back and take a look." Ji Wuhuan didn't want to stay any longer, so he pulled Shen Qing to turn around and leave, but the emperor was busy saying, "Wait......"

Ji Wuhuan paused, and the emperor asked Ji Rui to step forward and give Shen Qing a gold medal.

"This was originally what I wanted to give to the Shen family, but they left before I could take it out, since the Shen family is still here, then give it to you." The emperor looked at the two of them and laughed softly.

Shen Qing looked at the gold medal that Ji Rui took, could it be that the emperor had already expected the actions of the Empress of Tomorrow?

She turned around and looked at the emperor: "Since the emperor knows my identity, why should he let me go?" ”

The emperor smiled lightly: "Because of the confusion for a while, changing the peace between Dayan and Dawei for a while, no matter what, it is a good thing, even if they are ready and planning, but where can my emperors go?" ”

Shen Qing turned to look at Ji Wuhuan sideways, saw that his face was slightly relaxed, and raised his hand to take the gold medal: "Since I am the Shen family, I will take this token, and I will not thank the emperor." "Since the Shen family is an orphan of the previous dynasty, then she has no reason to thank the current monarch, but by mistake, she actually married and fell in love with the prince of the current county lord.

"You don't have to thank me, it's just that you are a little woman, it is rare to be able to understand my intentions." The more the emperor looked at Shen Qing, the more satisfied he became, whether it was his family background or appearance, or this rare intelligence, he was satisfied, and the most important thing was that Wu Huan liked it.

"Eldest Princess, you don't have to worry. I'm old, she's old, and I'm going to do something stupid, and I'll deal with it. The Emperor spoke.

Ji Wuhuan knew what the emperor's sentence 'will dispose of' meant, he would not only dispose of the eldest princess, but also Yuan Song and Yang Zhao, who were corrupt and bribed, fake public and private interests, and once Yuan Song fell, the glory of the solemn mansion would no longer exist.

He didn't say anything, and left with Shen Qing.

Coming out of the courtyard, it was already dark.

The snow began to fall again, and the dead trees along the road were covered with snow, and the roofs and courtyard walls were even whiter.

"Let's go." Shen Qing suddenly took Ji Wuhuan's hand and said.

Ji Wuhuan frowned slightly, looked at the smile on Shen Qing's face, nodded, and the two walked slowly in the narrow but still bright alley, and Yuan also led the carriage to follow slowly behind the old man.

"I remember when I was a child, I liked to play in the snow, and I often pulled Su Qiu and Xia Rao to have snowball fights together, and the snow fell through the collar at the back of my neck, and I shivered with cold." Shen Qing said with a smile, thinking back to the past, she was always happy.

Ji Wuhuan lowered his eyes and looked at her curved eyes, "I've never played." His childhood was only beating, scolding and calculating, and then it was a hard life in the barracks.

Shen Qing bent down, held a hand of snow, and gave it to him: "Pinch it into a snow ball yourself." ”

Ji Wuhuan was slightly flustered, looking at the white and flawless snow, and hesitated.

Shen Qingwaner: "It's not cold." ”

Ji Wuhuan looked at her sparkling eyes, like stars in a snowy night, very beautiful.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the snow, and slowly pinched it into a snow ball like Shen Qing, and said, "Throw whom?" ”

The corners of Shen Qing's mouth raised, his eyes gestured to Yuan Ye, who was idle behind him, Ji Wuhuan pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and looked directly at Yuan Ye.

Yuan was also stunned for a moment, looked at the two people who were staring at him seriously, and asked timidly, "What's wrong?" My horse didn't lead me to argue with you? He hurriedly hugged the horse that was about to snort, and looked terrified.

Shen Qing couldn't hold back his laughter, and the snow in his hand was thrown directly at him, and Ji Wuhuan also took the opportunity to throw it out.

Yuan also understood that he was going to have a snowball fight, and he was excited and began to pinch the snow ball, although it was two against two, but Ji Wuhuan's helper was Shen Qing, and his helper was a horse, and in the end he only ended up in a fiasco and was not reconciled.

Ji Rui stood in the courtyard, hearing the laughter outside, his eyes were full of yearning. In the past, Shen Qing always asked him to play with him, but the deep palace was too lonely.

The emperor looked through the window, looked at Ji Rui, who had chased to the door but stopped, smiled, and looked at the father-in-law on the side: "You said that my son, why don't you have a good life, is it that I really come to the throne with a bad name?" Is it stealing? ”

The father-in-law knelt down and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, the emperor just smiled, looked at the scenery outside and muttered to himself: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, after this winter, the next year will be a bumper harvest year, and our national strength can be doubled, good, good!" After the emperor finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the cushion, Ji Rui still didn't come back, he would rather stand in the courtyard, watch the freedom of the snowflakes falling, feel their freedom, and his red eyes flashed with a strange light.

The emperor's actions were really fast, and when Ji Wuhuan and his wife returned to the Huainan Palace, even though it was already dark, the old lady was still waiting in the front hall, and the third old man's family came over, because none of them expected the disaster to come so quickly.

The third master was still muttering: "What are you doing in such a panic, the second brother has an accident, am I still there, I can still bear it." ”

"What do you take!" The old lady lost her temper, and looked at the fat face of the third old man and became angry: "For so many years, you know that cockfighting and lackeys, what else will you do besides these?" ”

The third master pouted: "You will always know." ”

The old lady didn't fight with him, and when she saw that Ji Wuhuan was back in front of her, she still maintained her dignity in front of Ji Wuhuan.

Ji Wuhuan entered the front hall, only glanced at a few people lightly, and said, "The old lady and the third master came over late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”

"So what? Don't you know? The old lady opened her mouth to question.

Shen Qing frowned slightly, a little displeased: "The prince is busy with official business, should he know everything according to the old lady's meaning?" ”

"You...... You are presumptuous! The old lady couldn't help but say angrily when she saw that Shen Qing didn't bow and dared to talk back.

Ji Wuhuan stood directly in front of Shen Qing and looked at the old lady indifferently: "In this king's palace, saying that the princess is presumptuous, do you still think that this is the solemn mansion?" ”

"You ——!" The old lady was said by Ji Wuhuan like this, so she simply stood up and pointed at him: "You are not filial, I am your grandmother, how dare you talk to me like this, you white-eyed wolf!" ”

Ji Wuhuan's thin lips raised coldly: "When you burned my mother to death, you were not my grandmother." Come on, get them all out! ”

The guards of the palace swarmed in, and several people were immediately frightened.

The old lady was still stiffening her neck, while the third old man was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Wuhuan, don't worry, we came here this time to ask for your help." ”

The third lady stood on one side with her eyes down and didn't speak, at this time, the old lady was still putting on a good face, and she was still treating Ji Wuhuan and this powerful princess as three-year-old children, being treated like this, it was already considered a mercy to their subordinates, if they didn't accept it again, it was a question of whether they could go out safely today.

"Mother, tell Wuhuan well, there are some things that he doesn't know ......" The third lady still reminded her, but the old lady seemed to be on a hook with someone, and glared at Ji Wuhuan as before: "I raised you to grow up, and that's how you repay me?" Haha, the world-famous god of war, King Huainan, is really a shameless murderer and wild seed! ”

The last word of the old lady fell, and Shen Qing said in a deep voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't they all throw it out for me!" She used throwing instead of pending, but she preferred to throw these people out earlier, so as not to let them hurt Ji Wuhuan again and again.

Wu Huan, no joy, when they gave him this name, they didn't treat him as a relative, but now they come to call him a white-eyed wolf, what a joke!

Shen Qing's words fell, and the attendants stepped forward and grabbed the old lady and the third master and lifted them up.

The third lady glanced at Shen Qing gratefully and left quickly, Shen Qing turned his head to look at Ji Wuhuan, thinking that he would be angry, but unexpectedly, he was sad, like a child, even if he was sad, he endured it and refused to say a word.

"It's okay." Shen Qing took his hand, and finally made him happy, but as soon as he came back, all the warmth was dissipated by that family.

Ji Wuhuan's throat moved slightly, looking at Shen Qing's concerned eyes, he took her in his arms: "I am a murderer, a wild seed......" His tone was inferior and cowardly, the last time Shen Qing saw him like this, it was when Yuan Song and his father dealt with him together, only those relatives he cared about could hurt him like this.

"You are not, you are the god of war, the well-being of the people of Great Wei, my blessing, my only love." Shen Qing said softly, but he felt sorry for him, and he couldn't wait to kill the old lady, a selfish and mean old woman.

Ji Wuhuan hugged her tightly, letting her mood slowly calm down, as long as she was there, all his discomfort would always fade quickly and no longer torture him.

Shen Qing also felt his slowly calming mood, and laughed softly: "I'm tired, but after a day of walking, my legs are sore." ”

Ji Wuhuan looked at her for no reason, smiled lightly, raised his hand to pick her up, and went to the room.

The old lady of the dignified and solemn mansion was thrown into the snow like this, embarrassed. She felt that her face had been torn apart, and she was so angry that she scolded at the door regardless of her manners, completely losing the demeanor of the old lady of the dignified and large family.

The third master got up, scratched his head and looked at the old lady: "Mother, what should I do with the eldest brother." ”

The old lady remembered her son Yuan Song, who was suddenly rushed in and taken away by the officers and soldiers, and gritted her teeth in anger: "Ji Wuhuan, you are so ruthless and unjust, you will be retributed sooner or later, it is better to be like your mother, ...... by the fire."

Before she finished her words, Su Qiu took a basin of cold water and burst out, pouring her wet.

"If I don't leave, I'll pour diesel. My life of a is worth exchanging for the life of the old lady of your dignified and solemn mansion. "Although Su Qiu is calm, but watching them all the way so unrelenting and unmeasured, where can they continue to play tricks here!

The third lady looked at the old lady with her hair scattered and drooping on her face, and looked at her unbelievable expression, she actually wanted to laugh a little, but she desperately held back and retreated without speaking.

Yuan Ning'er also wanted to sell a handkerchief obediently, but was rudely opened by the old lady.

The old lady looked at Su Qiu fixedly, she was so angry that she didn't dare to say another word, she got into the carriage and went back, she was going to invite the second master, she didn't believe that Ji Wuhuan dared not listen!

When Yuanshuang heard the news, Forsythia told her that Forsythia was sitting in Liu Qing's arms at this time feeding fresh fruits, and said in a pitiful tone: "Tsk, you don't know the scene at that time, crying and grabbing the ground, the old lady was about to faint from crying, but no one paid attention to him at all, so he could only watch the eldest master being arrested." ”

Yuan Shuang was so angry that he came up and tore the forsythia: "You cheap hoof, damn thing......"

Where is Forsythia who is allowed to be bullied, he raised his hand and pushed Yuanshuang to the ground, and when he saw that she was about to get up, he kicked her in the stomach again: "Miss, this is not the solemn mansion, if you move me another hair in the future, I will beat you to death!" ”

"You dare, how can I say that I am also a young lady! You, why are you fighting with me! Yuanshuang was almost desperate, she didn't care who Liu Qing preferred, but she wanted to fight for this dignity, she was the first talented woman in the capital, and none of the dignitaries wanted to marry her, but now she was compared to a lowly girl, how could she endure it.

"Young lady?" Forsythia smiled sarcastically, turned around and pretended to be coquettish and looked at the drunk Liu Qing: "Childe, she said she was a young lady." ”

Liu Qing looked at Yuan Shuang in a daze, looked at her broken left hand, and said disdainfully: "Ugly thing, don't you know that if you marry a wife, you will be a concubine, let alone you who sent it to the door yourself, my mother said, you are the most shameless prostitute in the Qinglou, and you still want the decency of the young lady?" This son rewards you with a bite to eat, you will be grateful to Dade! ”

Yuan Shuang's eyes were red with hatred, but more of them were powerless.

"Although my father is in prison, I am still the eldest granddaughter of the Sumu Mansion, and my brother is still the king of Huainan, if you dare to treat me like this, are you not afraid of retribution one day!" Yuan Shuang's voice was hoarse.

Liu Qingman didn't care, but Forsythia frowned, and a plan came to his heart: "Childe, why don't we keep her here forever and raise her as a dog?" ”

When Liu Qing heard this, he shouted interestingly: "The first talented woman in the capital was kept in captivity like a dog by Lao Tzu, good, good!" ”

Yuan Shuang's whole body was tense, all kinds of poisonous schemes that she wanted to harm Shen Qing before seemed to be unworkable, she only had regret in her heart, but she regretted why she didn't kill Forsythia and didn't kill everyone......

No one knows about Yuan Shuang, let alone cares, because the Su Mu Mansion is busy fishing Yuan Song out, and Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan are preparing to enter the palace, and after entering the palace today, the queen's affairs will be settled.

When Shen Qing left, he took the weird Nie Sheng with him, Nie Sheng's son died, because he was too eager to go out, and was burned alive by the sun.

The carriage was swaying, shaking people very tired, Shen Qing felt that he was always very sleepy these days, and the number of headaches was becoming more and more frequent.

She fell asleep in Ji Wuhuan's arms, dreaming of her childhood self, she was wearing pink clothes, a small group, playing in the woods, but she didn't notice the wolf behind her who was about to devour her. It was Xuanyuan who saved her, so from then on, she stayed by his side, accompanied him to protect him, and helped him love him......

She dreamed of the blood of Meiyun Pavilion again, and Xuanyuan Li ordered to kill without mercy.

"Qing'er ......" Just when Shen Qing almost fell into her nightmare again, Ji Wuhuan's voice came, like a cool breeze, which instantly dispelled all the boredom and murderous aura in the dream and made her wake up.

"What's wrong?" Ji Wuhuan helped her up, turned sideways and hugged her and asked.

Shen Qing shook his head: "Nightmare." ”

Ji Wuhuan hugged her: "If you have nightmares in the future, you will dream of me, and I will protect you." ”

Shen Qingwan raised his head and met his serious eyes: "You also have to dream, and you have to come to my dream to protect me, isn't it very tiring?" ”

Ji Wuhuan chuckled and kissed her on the lips: "One person is tired when he dreams, and two people are not tired." ”

Shen Qing listened, bent his eyes and laughed.

The carriage didn't know how long it went, and finally stopped, although Shen Qing Ji Wuhuan got out of the carriage, he also saw Nie Sheng following behind.

Nie Sheng seemed to have turned white overnight, his eyes were sad, and he stared blankly ahead, as if he was stupid.

"Let's go." Ji Wuhuan held Shen Qing's hand, since the emperor had everything in his hands and arrested people before they entered the palace, the queen should have all the preparations.

The corridors of the palace are still long and narrow, and the wind and snow have stopped today after the night that raged last night.

The Empress was already waiting in the Imperial Garden, and next to her sat a man wrapped in a cloak.

When the queen saw Nie Sheng, she was a little surprised, but she quickly reined in, and before a few people came over, she turned her head to look at the man in a cloak: "Go back and rest." ”

Normally, he would go back, but this time he didn't: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to talk to King Huainan." "King Huainan traveled south and north, fought countless battles, was a great hero, and also the object of admiration in his heart. The history of his father is too far away, but Ji Wuhuan is not, he is close at hand, and it will happen at any time.

"Emperor!" The queen was a little angry, but the eldest prince stood up, looked at the oncoming person, and said with a smile: "King Huainan." ”

Ji Wuhuan paused slightly, stopped Shen Qing behind him, and saluted on the spot.

"Don't be polite, come here, I want to ask you, have you ever been to the desert? The book says that the desert is full of yellow sand, desolate and lonely, is this really the case? The eldest prince began to babble and ask him what he had hidden in his heart, but the queen's face became darker and darker.

"That's it!" The queen seemed to be a little unbearable, and after scolding, she softened her tone: "Emperor, these places, you can go to see them in person in the future, you don't need to ask others, go back." ”

"Queen Mother, you've been saying this for more than thirty years, when did it happen?" The eldest prince's tone darkened, but he didn't disobey the queen anymore, he just looked at the woman that Ji Wuhuan was carefully protecting when he left, and chuckled: "She's your princess?" ”

Ji Wuhuan's palms tightened slightly, and he didn't answer.

The eldest prince looked at Shen Qing and smiled, he didn't like so many women he sent to Ji Wuhuan, he actually liked this, it was better to arrest her, let Ji Wuhuan simply stay with him for the rest of his life, and tell him about those magical and interesting things outside.

As soon as the eldest prince left, the queen said coldly: "Ji Wuhuan, you are so bold!" ”
