Pei Yao was happy enough to be buried in his arms, and when he thought of Jiang Xiaoyue at this time, his mood was different.

"Eh, if you say so, Jiang Lianyue has been with you in the north for all these years, and she has been married far away from her relatives and kept an empty house alone...... To this day, she hasn't gone crazy yet, which is really rare. ”

Xiao Di glanced at her and smiled, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Xiao Chai gave her to you at that time, one was to answer you, the other was to answer me, and the third was ...... It's to get her to spy on you. But I have the impression that she never seemed to have sent any news to the palace against you, at least as far as I knew in the early years. Pei Yao put her arms around his neck, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Among them, it can't be without the slightest reason, right?" ”

"There's a reason." He smiled helplessly: "But it's not the reason you think. ”

Pei Yao snorted, let go of him, got up and went outside to touch two fruits and came back.

The two shared a tangerine, and then Xiao Di preached to her: "After Xiao Zhu's edict for marriage came down, I ordered Mo Yan to investigate Jiang Lianyue in detail. ”

It's a cliché to say, when the girl was unmarried, she had a personal affair with the young doctor in the house, and they were happy with each other, and they were all about to talk about marriage.

On the night she entered the house, she hid a broken piece of porcelain in her sleeve, and she had already made up her mind to commit suicide. I wasn't a person who loved the strong, and at that time, I really didn't have that mind. So I told her that I would like to be an adult, let her live well, and wait for a period of time when the limelight has passed, and then fulfill her and her lover. ”

At first, Jiang Xiaoyue didn't believe Xiao Di's words very much.

Think about it, even the brother who depends on each other can give her up for the four words of loyalty to the Lord, how many people in the world can be trusted?

She thought, maybe there is someone who can reproduce the beauty of an adult, but that person, no matter what, will not be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who has lived and died with his brother for several years.

However, at that time, after Xiao Di said these words, he really didn't touch her.

She watched him leave the new house in a daze, and listened to him tell the maid to serve with all her heart, until his figure completely disappeared before her eyes, she withdrew her gaze, looked at the empty palm, and suddenly shed two strings of tears.

That's probably the case in desperate situations.

After that, her suspicions about Xiao Di were not exhausted, so she passed a period of time with anticipation and fear, just when she gradually let down her guard and felt that the coming day was promising, she didn't admit it, but what she was waiting for was bad news that was enough to destroy her-

Her little doctor, the lover she had been thinking of, died.

Later, she learned from her brother Jiang Yi that on the day she married to the north, the man sent a cup of crane top red into his throat, and he died of this fruitless love.

When Xiao Di sent someone to look for the past, what he found was already a cold tombstone.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaoyue didn't know who to hate.

The spring breeze blows the willows, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

She stood in front of Jiang Yi's grave, and all the past flashed in her mind one by one, as if it happened yesterday.

Jiang Lianyue once thought that she should be resentful of this brother. I remember that when she first learned of the man's death, she was grief-stricken, and I don't know how many late nights, with the most vicious thoughts, cursed this brother who broke up her marriage and indirectly killed her beloved.

She hated his foolishness, hated him when Xiao drove the edict, and even refused to say one more word or fight for one more word for herself. She hated that he knew everything, but she would rather send herself into the 'fire pit'-like Chu Palace, than let the lord he served have the slightest dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.

She thought that when she heard the news of his death, she hurried here in order to stand in front of his grave and let this pinch of loess bury the hatred she had held in her heart for all these years.

But when she really looked at Jiang Yi's tombstone in her eyes, in the end, what she remembered was still when he was young and had a difficult livelihood, he loved herself and protected herself.

"Brother......

She knelt in front of the tombstone, her thin white fingers caressed the rough name and surname on the monument inch by inch, and finally she was sad and couldn't suppress it, and she lowered her head and shed two lines of tears.

Jiang Yi passed away for nearly half a year, and Jiang Xiaoyue shed tears for him for the first time.

"May you have a spirit in heaven, rest in peace, and ascend to bliss soon."

She thought: I hope that you and my brother and sister will not know each other in the next life, and they will never be relatives again.

In the palace of the king of Chu, as soon as the major events on the side of the Zhou State were over, the people who had been put to work everywhere before had also returned.

Through the mouth of the instant rain, Li Lin and the others successively knew about the 'recovery' of his Royal Highness the King of Chu, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Xiao Di had been idle in the Bathing Light Hall for the past two days, wondering who the first person to come to him would be, and Li Lian, who had just returned from Shufan County, was the first to appear in front of him.

"Brother."

"Silent words," he leaned on the couch, squinted his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him who was standing with his head bowed and unsmiling, as if he didn't know anything about his intentions, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Xiao didn't raise his head, but replied: "What happened to Jiang Yi before...... The little brother is here to restore his life. ”

Xiao Di put Jiang Yi's life and death in his hands, but in the end he chose not to save him. Most of the people who know about this think that he is for the revenge of his father in the past, and now he seized the opportunity to announce his personal vendetta. He didn't know what Xiao Di thought, but he was still a little apprehensive when he came back to his life.

"This matter...... Xiao Di took a sip of tea, and said with his head bowed: "Since it is said to be a return to life, then you can talk about it, and I will listen." ”

Li Lin thought about it and found that he had nothing to say.

He frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "Brother, you handed over his life to me, and now this result, are you happy to see it?" ”

"It depends on the reason for the result." Xiao Di looked at him, raised his chin, and asked, "Tell me, why didn't you save him." ”

Li Lin was silent for a moment before he said, "I just think that I am not qualified to save him." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head to meet Xiao Di's gaze, and said seriously: "Since he recognizes Xiao Zhu as the master, he has put all his wealth and life in the hands of that person, Jiang Yi has never disobeyed Xiao Zhu until his death, such a person, his life and death, I can't decide, you can't decide, and even he can't decide."

Only Xiao Chase.

Xiao Chai let him die, and he could only die. No one else is qualified to save him. ”

After listening to his words, Xiao Di was silent for a long time.

He didn't speak, and Li Lian's heart was half frank and half drumming. He thought that what he said was sincere, and there was nothing to hide, but at the same time, he was afraid that his answer would not be acceptable to Xiao Di.

"It's not bad that you fulfill him from the beginning to the end."

Xiao Di stayed down and walked up to him with his hands in his hand, "Mo Yan, you look at me." ”

Li Lin obeyed, staring at him, not daring to retreat.

He asked, "Who is qualified to decide your life or death?" ”

Suddenly, the pupils of the person opposite shrank, and his expression changed drastically.

In the Hebi Palace, Yu Xu was ordered to send some things back to Jiang Xiaoyue's courtyard just now, and she was talking back to Pei Yao at the moment.

Concubine Jiang was overjoyed, and asked the slave to convey it, thank the princess for her generous reward, and said that she would come to thank her later. The slave and maid told her what you meant, and only told her to live and recuperate, and there was no need to keep these false etiquette. ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, and the two were talking, when they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and when they saw Qingchen running in, the whole person was happy, and he didn't know where so much fun came from.

Yu Xu smiled helplessly, her face full of uneasiness. Pei Yaowei glanced at Qingchen, lowered her head and continued to tinker with her snack box, and said with a cold smile: "Bouncing, like a rabbit." Where did you go crazy again? Don't see anyone for most of the day? ”

Qingchen ran in with a smile, and didn't answer her questions seriously, only told her about the new things outside: "Niangniang, do you think I just saw some wonders outside?" ”

Pei Yaowei said indifferently: "The sow goes up the tree, and the dog jumps over the wall?" ”

Qingchen shook his head, twisted and said 'um', and said to her, "It's Zhang Tinghou!" The slave maid saw him carrying a bundle of rattan on his back and coming to the inner court. ”

"Carrying rattan?" Pei Yaowei heard the movements in his hand, and said with a strange expression: "...... What does this mean? Are you guilty? ”

Qingchen felt that it looked very similar.

But has Gu Zijun made any mistakes recently?

Pei Yao thought about it in a circle, but she couldn't guess what was going on, she was interested, and she wanted to go out to see it in person, when she saw the little girl outside yelling and shouting to spread the word, saying that Zhang Tinghou was out asking to see her.

"Oh......" Qingchen suddenly said: "Niangniang, he is here to plead on you!" ”

Pei Yao was stunned, then pondered again and smiled.

At that time, in front of Xiao Di, a certain marquis did say in person that if this time, he really resolved the crisis of the Zhou State, he was willing to kneel and kowtow to himself, admitting that he had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, and misunderstood the gold and jade.

It's just a matter of pleading...... She sighed unconsciously, thinking that Zhang Tinghou was really a real man who could bend and stretch.

"Yu Xu," she called, "go outside and invite Zhang Tinghou in." ”

Yu Xu answered, and not long after, in the main hall, Gu Zijun stood in front of her with a bundle of rattan.

"Weichen Gu Zijun, meet the princess Niangniang, may the princess be happy forever."

Gu Zijun was frank and open, and Pei Yao didn't see a look of coyness. She shouted to excuse him, and when he got up, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Hou came over like this, is he comparing himself to Lianpo, or is he treating me as a Lin Xiang?" ”

"Weichen is reckless, I have offended the princess several times in the past, and I have questioned your decision-making several times before the big things, but now that the dust has settled, I know that my vision is limited, and I am really sitting in a well and watching the sky."

He didn't talk nonsense at all, and as he spoke, he untied the rattan on his body and put his hands above his head, "But I beg the princess to be angry and forgive Weichen for his disrespectful sin in the past!" ”
