The flames illuminated half of Yanjing City, and Xie Langhua also saw it.

It was the cold winter moon and it was snowing heavily, what was the place in the palace? How could it easily catch fire?

Xie Langhua's eyes sank, and she looked up at Sima Rui.

Sima Rui's face was gloomy, and when he noticed Xie Langhua's gaze, he turned his head to look at Xie Langhua and said, "Langhua, I'll go back first." ”

He looked at Xie Langhua deeply, and his eyes were deep and frightening.

Xie Langhua greeted him: "The courtiers send your majesty." ”

Sima Rui took one last look at Xie Langhua, and he strode away.

Fang Huanyun sent Sima Rui out.

In the dead of night, Xie Langhua didn't feel sleepy at all.

Even she could find out that the rumors came from Sima Rui, how could the Wang family not find out, this fire was a warning from the Wang family to Sima Rui.

The war between the nobles and the royal power began!

"Miss!" But after a moment, Fang Huanyun walked in, she looked at Xie Langhua intently, her eyes full of worry.

How this fire started, she and the eldest lady knew very well, how smart Sima Rui was, and he was even clearer, the Sima clan had endured it for so many years, and now he had the strength to fight with the Shi clan.

I just hope that the war between them will not burn to the eldest lady.

Xie Langhua turned her head to look at Fang Huanyun, she frowned and muttered, "Aunt Fang, the scholar clan and the royal power are already incompatible, can I really stand by and watch?"

Can she watch Wang Xuan kill Sima Rui?

Or maybe Sima Rui killed Wang Xuan?

Ask yourself, can she really sit idly by?

If that day comes, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand by no matter what!

But who should she help?

"Whenever the eldest lady just follows her heart. Fang Huanyun said softly.

Xie Langhua nodded lightly, and she slowly lowered her eyes.

The snow that weighed on the red plum trees fell, making a small sound.

The candle flame flickered, Xie Langhua's back was extremely lonely, she looked at Fang Huanyun and said, "It's late at night, Aunt Fang go and rest!"

"The eldest lady also rested earlier. Fang Huanyun glanced at Xie Langhua, she turned around and retreated.

Xie Langhua was the only one left in the room.

She sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, gently caressing the piano, her eyebrows full of desolation.

She sat for a long time and then turned to the couch.

In the dead of night, she closed her eyes and concentrated on cultivating the recipe for longevity.

When Sima Rui returned to the palace, the entire Qinzheng Hall was drowned in a sea of fire, the fire was so big that there was no way to extinguish it, all the guards in the palace were dispatched, and even with countless temple people carrying buckets to stand in front of the Qinzheng Palace, but they could only watch the fire engulf everything.

Sima Rui was the most diligent among the exceptional kings, and everyone thought that Sima Rui was still in the palace of diligence, so everyone's faces were filled with death-like horror, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Majesty is still inside, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and find a way to extinguish the fire!" The eunuch in the palace was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, and big sweat fell from his head in the cold sky.

"It's not that we can't save the eunuch, you also saw that the fire is too big, the people inside can't get out, the people outside can't get in, how do you want us to save it. The head of the guard was also anxious, and his voice trembled.

"Your Majesty......" The eunuch knelt on the ground with a thud, and he cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty......" After him, all the temple people, including all the guards, knelt down, and the palace was filled with their cries of grief.

"What are you doing here? The widow is still alive and well, so you can't wait to cry and mourn?" At that moment, Sima Rui strode over.

Everyone looked at him with a happy face, and immediately stopped crying.

"Your Majesty, it's great that you're okay!" said the eunuch in a loud voice.

"Get up!" Sima Rui glanced at everyone lightly.

"No. Sima Rui gave the order, and everyone stood up.

Sima Rui's gaze fell on the Qinzheng Palace, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp cold light flashed under his eyes.

If he hadn't left the palace tonight, he would have been trapped in the sea of fire and would be unable to get out at this moment.

What a royal family!

It's great!

His palace is really like his own backyard, he can come when he wants, and set fire to it when he wants to.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were a little colder than this lonely and cold night, which made everyone's hearts feel a sense of horror.

"Your Majesty, the fire is too big to extinguish, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you. The leader of the guards walked up to Sima Rui in a few steps, and he knelt heavily on the ground with his hands crossed.

Sima Rui glanced down at him, and he said, "Just prevent the fire from spreading to other palaces." ”

Since it couldn't be extinguished, he simply let it burn like this, as a reminder of the humiliation he suffered today.

"No. The leader of the guards arched his hand.

Sima Rui glanced at the burning fire, and surrounded by the guards, he turned to leave.

This fire alarmed all civil and military officials.

Before dawn, the civil and military officials hurried into the palace.

After getting up in the morning, Wang Li told Wang Xuan about the fire last night.

Wang Xuan didn't have any expression on his face when he heard this, and he didn't say a word.

"Lang Jun, according to Sima Rui's temperament, he must know the cause of this fire, I'm afraid that he won't give up, we have to plan early. Wang Li looked at Wang Xuan intently and said slowly.

Although Ah He and Ah Bi had a reputation as concubines, they could no longer serve in front of Wang Xuan, and Wang Xuan arranged a courtyard for them, and they were not allowed to appear in front of him without permission, which was a good thing for him.

Wang Xuan sighed lightly: "The scholar clan and the royal power have coexisted peacefully for so many years, and now both sides can't bear it, there will be a battle between the two, either you die or I die!"

Wang Li looked at Wang Xuan intently.

Wang Xuan got up slowly, he was wearing a dark robe, the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, he looked at the snow outside that had not yet melted, and said in a deep voice: "I can't watch the family cause be ruined by others, if there is a next time, I will never show mercy." ”

A chill flashed across his face.

Wang Li arched his hand and said, "What Lang Jun said is true. ”

Wang Xuan turned his head and looked at Wang Li, and he said slowly in a low voice: "There is something you need to do." ”

Wang Li looked at Wang Xuan intently, he walked up to Wang Xuan in a few steps, and crossed his hands: "Please ask Lang Jun to command." ”

Wang Xuan's mouth opened slightly, and he didn't make a sound.

Wang Li's eyes narrowed, and he arched his hand and said, "My subordinates will do it!"

Wang Xuan bowed slightly.

Wang Li turned around and walked out.

Wang Xuan was the only one left in the house.

I think he can't let go of her in this life.

If you can't have her company, it's good to be alone like this!

The atmosphere in the court has been solemn in the past few days, and the guards in the palace have checked for a few days, and the fire that night was just an accident, and Sima Rui symbolically punished a few guards who kept vigil that night.

No one knows better than him who that fire came from!

In a few days, Sima Rui never left the palace to see Xie Langhua again.

Since that day, Yu Ye and Sima Rui have gradually drifted apart, and he has not entered the palace for several days, so even Sima Rui summoned him, and he also said that he was sick and shirked.

Approaching the end of the year, Yanjing City is becoming more and more lively.

Xie Langhua's liquor business is getting better and better, and more people come to visit, and Su Tong's liquor is in short supply, so he can only sell it in limited quantities every day.

So much so that every day before dawn, there is a long queue in front of the wine shop.

Cui Su left Xie Langhua the dowry, and Xie Langhua let Fang Huanyun properly preserve it.

These things she never thought to use.

Money is now nothing more than something outside of her body.

It was gloomy for several days, and on this day the sun finally showed its head.

The red plum blossoms in the yard are just right.

Xie Langhua did not step out of the room for a few days, and Xiao invited her to come out to enjoy the flowers.

Xie Langhua didn't want Xiao to worry about her, so Chun Tao put on a fox fur for Xie Langhua and prepared a stove for her.

Xie Langhua walked out of the room with the stove in his arms.

Fang Huanyun prepared snacks in the pavilion in the courtyard, even though he knew that Xie Langhua was drunk with wine, and there was still warm wine on the charcoal fire, it was Su Tongzhuo's daughter Hong.

A gust of wind blew, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

This is what Xiao means, Fang Huanyun also thinks so, the eldest lady is afraid that her wife and the son will worry about her, and she is willing to show everything in it every day, but at night she tosses and turns and finds it difficult to sleep, almost every day with her eyes open from dark to dawn, and her body can't hold it even if she is beaten by iron over and over again.

Those unspeakable bitterness accumulated in the eldest lady's heart, which was about to crush her whole person, it was time for her to get drunk for a while, cry uncontrollably, and then fall asleep.

Early in the morning, Xie Heng went to the He Family School.

With Xie Langhua's current skills, he no longer needs Xiaodouzi to defend himself, thinking that Xie Heng has to go out every day, Xie Langhua gave Xiaodouzi to Xie Heng for self-defense, and now Xie Heng takes Xiaodouzi with him when he goes there, which makes Xie Langhua and Xiao feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, Xie Langhua sat down, and before he had drunk a glass of wine, Yu Ye came.

He changed his uninhibited appearance in the past, and looked at Xie Langhua very solemnly.

Xie Langhua knew that he had something to say, and the two went to the side hall.

Chun Tao boiled hot tea and brought it up.

"Langhua, I know that there are some things that I can't hide from you. Yu Ye looked at Xie Langhua intently.

Xie Langhua naturally understood what he meant, and she nodded lightly.

A bitter smile flashed on Yu Ye's face, and he said softly: "Arrow is no longer the Arrow of the past, and now he is His Majesty who is high above, even if we see it, we have to bow down." ”

"Brother, people change. Xie Langhua sighed lightly, and there was a lot of helplessness between her words.

Yu Ye looked at Xie Langhua deeply and said: "The war between the Shi clan and the royal power is imminent, I hope you don't meddle in this matter, whether it is Wang Xuan or Sima Rui, this is their fate, but not for us, we still have a choice." ”

Xie Langhua looked at Yu Ye for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

"Langhua, it's good to be affectionate, but if it's too much, it will become a shackle that imprisons you, you have been tired enough in this life, for my brother, I only hope that you can live arbitrarily in the future, not for others but for yourself to live presumptuously once, don't live up to the rest of your life!" Yu Ye said earnestly.

He regarded Xie Langhua as his own sister from the bottom of his heart, so he said such heart-wrenching words.

"Brother, I understand what you say!" Xie Langhua's mouth curled, and her heart was extremely warm.

Under her gaze, Yu Ye slowly stood up.

Xie Langhua was slightly stunned and stood up.

Yu Ye raised his hand and gently landed on Xie Langhua's shoulder, and he said softly: "I came to bid you farewell!"
