Xu Qing'er trembled in her hand holding the teacup of the white jade porcelain cup, and the warm touch was transmitted to the palm of her hand little by little through the delicate wall of the cup, but she still couldn't feel the slightest warmth, and the cool sweat soaked out of the palm.

"Mother? Niangniang-" Suddenly hearing the pothos calling herself, it turned out that she had lost her mind, Xu Qing'er couldn't help but think of what He Xi said before: "Now only Niangniang can protect Xu's mansion, and please cherish Niangniang." ”

Yes, she is now the hope of the Xu Mansion, and drank the hot tea in the cup in a big gulp, and then said in a slow voice: "Pothos, this palace is coming, you come to write, and also, this matter involves the Xu family, even if you know, you must not publicize it at will, if this is the case, you still make your own opinion, I'm afraid I really can't keep you." ”

The green pothos shook her fingers and lowered her head in response.

Xu Qing'er said word by word, pothos wrote word by word, but the more she wrote, the more frightened she felt, as if every time she wrote a word, the pen in her hand was much heavier, and her wrist was almost powerless to lift, Xu Qing'er was still saying that when she said that she was to blame and resigned, the pothos couldn't write anymore.

Xu Qing'er saw that she didn't move for a long time, and asked, "What questions do you have?" ”

Luluo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Niangniang, if the adult resigns, has Niangniang ever thought about herself?" Even if she doesn't think about herself, does the mother think about the child in her womb? ”

This point seems to hit Xu Qing'er's lifeline, she stretched out her hand and kept caressing her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her expression became more and more sad, and she said in a choked voice: "Pothos, we have no choice, if we don't do this, I won't be able to protect Xufu, my father and mother." ”

After a long period of depression, she finally broke the last line of defense in Xu Qing'er's heart, she hid her face and cried bitterly, expecting Ai Ai, distressing, green pothos saw Xu Qing'er like this, first got up and closed the doors and windows carefully, and when she came to Xu Qing's side, she said softly: "Niangniang, the old man has been up and down in the sea for so many years, and this matter, the old man can only be regarded as not strict with the emperor, you are one of the four concubines in the harem, and you are pregnant with a dragon heir, Your Majesty will take care of Niangniang no matter what." ”

Xu Qing'er was persuaded by the pothos like this, and she felt that it made sense. But in fact, she believed in He Xi in her heart, and at this time she was already six gods and no master: "But Sister He Xi said that this is-"

"Mother, be sober!" Hearing Xu Qing'er mention He Xi again, Xu Qing'er was angry, her sharp voice interrupted Xu Qing'er's words, Xu knew that she was out of shape, she bit her lower lip a little nervously and said: "Niangniang, you always thought that the slave maid didn't like the little master Xi, so she kept getting in the way, but the slave maid is really good for the mother, only you are good." Only those of us who are slaves and maids have light on their faces, and in the huge palace, we are not pointed at, right? ”

Xu Qing'er let the pothos say, and when the pothos saw this, she struck while the iron was hot and said: "Niangniang, maybe you and the little master Xi had a friendship, but with your position has always been higher than her, now there is a dragon heir." Are you sure she's really still the same as she used to be? The original intention remains the same? Niangniang, you should be sober, as early as yesterday's incident, there is no longer any friendship between you and Xiao Master Xi. ”

Luthos's words seemed to be silver needles pierced into Xu Qing'er's acupuncture points around her body, she didn't want to admit it in her heart, but she had to feel that she was right.

The tears flowed even more fiercely, and the green pothos took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the crystals away, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, have you ever thought about why she pays such attention?" Let the old man take the blame and resign, she has a good calculation. Now in this palace there is only the eldest prince under her knees and the child in the womb of Niangniang, if the old man resigns, Niangniang's background can be regarded as a plummet, when the time comes, she will have a reason to be on an equal footing with Niangniang, even our future little prince, there is no difference between crawling out of the belly of the madman. ”

Xu Qing'er's heart became more and more cool, and her eyes changed from the initial confusion and helplessness. Gradually, she became fierce, and the pure gold armor pierced into her palm, but she still didn't feel the slightest pain. What the pothos said made sense, and he tried it three times and twice. He Xi has been indifferent, what is the feeling of the protection when she first entered the palace, fake, all fake, in vain Xu Qing'er believed in her so much, almost, almost caused a catastrophe.

She got up slowly, walked to the front of the desk, picked up the letterhead on the table with one hand, the blood stains on the armor, accidentally soaked on the paper, like plum blossoms embellished with a pen, there is a decadent beauty, the corners of her lips hooked up a sarcastic smile, with a slight force, the letter that has not yet been written, tore it into pieces.

At that time, Xu Qing'er didn't know that what she tore out in her hands was the way forward for everyone in the Xu Mansion.

"Niangniang, it's right to do this, how to solve the matter, the master will naturally have a way, if you need Niangniang's help, I will tell Niangniang earlier." Pothos whispered.

Xu Qing'er stood with her hands in her hands, and the coldness of Fang Cai seemed to quench her voice with frost: "Since she wants to design a trap with me, we will plan it, green pothos, you write a letter for the palace again——"

In Lingxiu Palace, Chou'er saw Ruyi and He Xi walking in from the outside with an umbrella, and Ruyi even changed into a peach-colored palace maid dress that she had never seen before, and there were some ill-fitting shoulders and necks, and it was not hers.

After entering the inner hall, He Xi handed over the umbrella to the little palace maid on the side, and shook off the rain on her body, so she said to Ruyi: "You go down to rest, let people boil ginger soup, drink some to get rid of the cold, don't get sick." ”

Ruyi was still immersed in Fang Cai's humiliation, answered, leaned over and retreated.

Chou'er stepped forward, took a handkerchief, wiped the ends of He Xi's rain-soaked hair little by little, and said in a low voice: "The slave has already handed the news to our people, presumably in the next two days, you will be able to hear the news, little master, what are you going to do?" ”

He Xi smiled a little bitterly, if this matter was known by Tuoba Yue. will inevitably stop herself, and even mock her own woman's kindness, but she just can't stand by to see Xu Qing'er like this, like Mu Jin in the past, and she has no power to fight back.

"During this time, you should pay attention to the movements of the Ice Spring Palace, especially if there is anyone entering or leaving the palace gate, you must be cautious. Do you hear that? The ugly nodded.

On the other side, in the ancient mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing, Tuoba Yue was lying on a stone bed with a pale face, and a young woman in a goose yellow gauze skirt lay next to the bed, her eyes were slightly closed, her long and thick eyelashes cast a dark shadow on her eyelids, and her cherry lips were slightly upturned, it was Xiao Nai.

Tuoba Yue has woken up slowly, looking at Xiao Nai's figure, he has indescribable complex emotions in his eyes, and even with a look of disappointment in his eyes, he slowly pulled out the hand that Xiao Nai pillowed under his head, Xiao Nai was awakened by Tuoba Yue's movements, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Tuoba Yue's deep bottomless eyes, Xiao Nai was happy at first, but in the next second, she seemed to be empty-hearted.

She didn't dare to look at him, and those eyes seemed to be able to see through her own thoughts at a glance.

"Yue-Brother Yue, you're awake." Xiao Nai put his face on Tuoba Yue's chest, and his voice was soft, as if he was telling the girl's thoughts.

"Why are you here?" Tuoba Yue moved slightly, got up, and leaned on the bed rail behind him, Xiao Nai got up a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Naier heard that Brother Yue was seriously injured in this ancient tomb, and Naier was not at ease, so she asked Naier to come." ”

Tuoba Yue kept looking at Xiao Nai's eyes, wanting to see the deception clearly from her watery eyes, Xiao Nai touched his cheek a little confused, and whispered: "Why does Brother Yue look at Naier like this, the strategists in the mansion have not been able to find Brother Yue, so they sent someone to investigate, and only then did they know that Brother Yue was injured, and Yue Qi is really true, such a big thing didn't even go back to the house to tell him." ”

The more Xiao Nai spoke, the more energetic she became, her voice was full of dissatisfaction with Yue Qi, Yue Qi outside the door heard such words, she was simply distressed, at this time, a team of people escorted a man in black with a thief's eyebrows over, the clothes on the man's body were no different from the guards, but his limbs were slender and he looked weak and weak.

This is different from those guards who are five big and three thick.

"Who? The prince has just woken up, if there is nothing important, don't bother the prince for the time being. Yue Qi had a straight face, a serious face, and a person walked out from behind, it was none other than Wang Lang, he first hugged his fists and saluted to Yue Qi simply, and then said loudly: "Tell the moon guard, this person was found by us at the entrance, and the subordinates saw him hiding on the side sneaky, so they wanted to come forward to ask, but they didn't want to, and before the subordinates explained their intentions, this person fled in a panic, and was finally caught by his subordinates." His subordinates thought that he must have something to do with the prince's injury, so he was escorted over and interrogated by the prince. ”

Wang Lang spoke clearly, Yue Qi looked inside with some embarrassment, and before he could speak, he heard Tuoba Yue's voice sound: "Bring someone in." ”

Yue Qi and Wang Lang glanced at each other, and then escorted this person in.

The man entered the stone room, and caught a glimpse of a goose-yellow skirt out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but look up, and saw Xiao Nai with a panicked look, and his feet were soft, so he knelt on the ground with a puff.

Tuoba Yue, who was at the top, had already taken in the demeanor of the two of them, and he said quietly and lightly: "Why are you sneaking around at that entrance?" ”

The man was frightened, and fell to his knees trembling.
