He saw her discouragement and heard her despair. didn't know that her heart and despair could also stab him all over his body.

The woman he had been pampering was now in front of him to accept the ravages of the heavy rain, he watched her bite her lower lip tightly, watching her try to restrain the trembling all over, and suddenly felt that the weakest string in his heart was broken.

Suddenly stretched out his hand, Yun Qi pulled Huaxi Yan and pressed it tightly in his arms.

The empty heart was filled in an instant.

Hua Xiyan's tears immediately poured out like someone who had opened the floodgates, soaking this person's already wet clothes even more embarrassed, she reached out and held his waist, gradually tightening.

"It's better not to meet the city." Hua Xiyan slowly spoke, and said word by word, "Yun Qi, we're finished." ”

The hand holding Hua Xiyan's back tightened suddenly, and the words "We are finished" were comparable to the very internal force of a peerless master hitting his chest, bringing a pain that his heart was about to shatter.

A sense of powerlessness spread throughout his limbs, so Hua Xiyan didn't use much strength and pushed him away.

The long hair of the two was more black and smooth under the moisture of the rain, clinging to the cheeks, making their faces more three-dimensional and more angular.

"When you told me about Shen Jia's life experience, you asked me, if it were me, I would be willing to return to my original position. The answer I gave you at the time was maybe. But now, I tell you, I will, will! ”

"Do you know what you're facing when you answer that position?" Yun Qi was shocked by Hua Xiyan's firm tone, and involuntarily asked.

"Am I in a good situation right now?" Hua Xiyan sneered, "Even if the palace is surrounded by jackals, it is better than being calculated and guarded against by the closest people around you." ”

Yun Qi pursed his lips and lost his words for a moment.

Hua Xiyan looked at the brocade box in Yun Qi's hand that he forcibly stuffed in, and suddenly laughed miserably: "Compared with a good husband, you are more suitable to be a good king." ”

The words fell, no longer nostalgic, and turned to leave.

Looking at the slender figure wrapped in black hair, Yun Qi did not catch up, but just looked deeply, his eyes were firm.

was a cold-hearted woman, but he forcibly stuffed his shadow into her heart, but she was bruised all over her body. After living for twenty-two years, Yun Qi has never despised himself as much as he does now.

"Zhou, Taiyuan, I have been with you, and I don't want you to be hurt a little." Yun Qi's thin lips slowly opened, and the words seemed to be said to the unrelenting back, and as if he was persuading himself, "Now that this capital is besieged on all sides and the quagmire of water, how can I bear to let you fight alone?" ”

"I used to want to win the world with you, why can't I win the world for you now?" Yun Qi looked down at the brocade box in his hand, and suddenly smiled like a snowstorm, "Changyan...... You deserve to be revered in the world. ”

After muttering and whispering, Yun Qi bent down and carefully picked up the jade pendant that was broken into several petals, and the hairpin with cracks was carefully picked up, and there was a firm glow in a pair of phoenix eyes: "The jade can be broken, and the human affection can also be round." ”

——

When Hua Xiyan returned to her yard, Aunt Ying was startled, and immediately boiled hot water and ginger soup.

"Aunt Ying." Hua Xiyan suddenly made a sound and called the busy woman.

"How many years have you been in the palace?"

Unexpectedly, Hua Xiyan suddenly asked like this, and Aunt Ying was stunned on the spot for a while.

"Is it hard to answer?" Hua Xiyan suddenly tilted his head and asked with a light smile.

"No...... It's not ......" Aunt Ying waved her hand, and a suspicious red suddenly flashed on her face, as if she was frightened, as if she was afraid, "I followed the county lord of Pingliang before, and I didn't go elsewhere until the county lord got married, and it has been a lot of years." ”

Hua Xiyan knew that the county lord of Pingliang in her mouth was her aunt, the current Duchess of Dingguo. Pingliang Hou is a generation of military generals, in a war against Beirong accidentally defeated, Pingliang Hou died in battle, Mrs. Hou martyrdom, leaving only a small county lord in the strong protection, the queen mother thanked the Pingliang Hou Mansion full of loyalty, the small county lord was personally raised, and then gave marriage to the country.

"Where did Aunt Ying go after her aunt got married?" Hua Xiyan asked yes with a smile, his smart eyes full of curiosity.

In that clear gaze, Aunt Ying suddenly felt that she couldn't say the reason she had silently recited countless times in her heart before, or she felt that even if she just spoke, she would immediately be aware of what was a lie.

"I'm joking, why should Aunt Ying take it seriously, it's not that I don't believe you." Seeing that Aunt Ying was speechless for a long time, Hua Xiyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay not to say it, as soon as this sentence came out, Aunt Ying was even more worried in her heart.

Aunt Ying was thinking about whether she should go to Wang Yao and ask how much Miss knew about the things back then, but who knew that Hua Xiyan suddenly opened her mouth: "Aunt Ying, I'm going to find my uncle now, do you want to go together?" ”

Aunt Ying felt a chill in her heart, and her heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat.

Hua Xiyan gave Aunt Ying a meaningful look, got up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard. Aunt Ying has been in the palace for so many years, how shrewd, what she has suspected for a long time just now now has the bottom in her heart, and I am afraid that I can't hide what happened back then.

Wang Yao was looking at something in the study, and there was no surprise at the arrival of Hua Xiyan.

"See him?" Wang Yao looked at the decadent look on Hua Xiyan's face that couldn't be concealed, and spoke out first.

Hua Xiyan stretched out his hand and pressed on both temples for a moment, and nodded: "I see." ”

"He told you?"

Hua Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then understood, and smiled helplessly: "No." ”

"He's talked to me a lot in the past few days." Hua Xiyan walked to Wang Yao's desk, looked at the page he was copying, and pointed to one of the words, "This word, my uncle's pen contains too much anger." ”

Angry? Wang Yao was stunned, looked down at the words on the paper, and a bitter smile overflowed on his lips: "After all these years, I thought I had already made up my mind, but who knew that I still overestimated myself." ”

Hua Xiyan looked up at Wang Yao, his face no longer had the usual formulaic smile, and the corners of his lips were gently pursed with infinite serious feelings. The two-way sparkling eyes seemed to have lost their brilliance, and the backlight stood in front of the desk, and the light in the eyes covered all the expressions.

"Uncle." Hua Xiyan suddenly looked up at Wang Yao, and asked in a soft voice, "How did I survive back then?" ”

Wang Yao put down the wolf hair in his hand and sat heavily on the chair behind him, physically and mentally exhausted and unable to control himself. Rubbing his forehead with both hands, his face was pale as if he had not rested for a long time, dark and decaying: "Back then, it was a grandmother by your mother's side, entrusted by your mother's death, and escaped from the palace. ”

Hearing such words, Hua Xiyan was naturally sad in his heart. But it's not as unbearable as my heart thinks. She hid the sourness and pain in her heart, and tried to think about Wang Yao's words, and then asked: "The palace is heavily guarded, how did that grandma escape?" ”

"It's with the help of Wen Xuanhou."

Wen Xuanhou? Hua Xiyan blinked, thinking of the old man who had given him countless help since he went to Minzhou, and then thought of what Yun Qi had said to him, and then said: "Yun ...... He told me that after the national teacher said that I was an unknown person, there were people who desperately invited me, including Wen Xuanhou. ”

Wang Yao nodded: "The Marquis of Wenxuan is upright and upright, and he is not afraid of imperial power." When your mother was in the palace, she had an excellent reputation and respected Wen Xuanhou very much, so Wen Xuanhou had a good private relationship with your mother. ”

Wang Yao sighed and added: "At the beginning, your grandfather had a good relationship with Wen Xuanhou, and Wen Xuanhou has always regarded us as his juniors. ”

Hua Xiyan nodded, thinking that Wen Xuanhou and the Wang family still had such a relationship.

"Originally, the news that Wen Xuanhou gave me was to wait for the grandmother to leave the palace and ask me to answer you, but I didn't wait for the grandmother, so I lost your news. I didn't dare to make a big deal to find you, so I could only look for you in secret, but for many years it was fruitless. ”

"When I was in Zhouzhou, I asked Xia to tell me that my adoptive mother had a sister in the palace, it seems that it may be that grandma?"

Wang Yao nodded: "I think it should be like this." Otherwise, you wouldn't have so many jewels from the palace in your hands as a dowry. ”

Hua Xiyan walked to the side and sat down, thinking that Wang Yao also knew his identity after he went to Taiyuan, and Li Houzhen made a move on him a few days after he went to Taiyuan, could it be that Li Houzhen knew his identity at that time? But it really shouldn't be in such a short time......

Wang Yao looked at Hua Xiyan's tightly furrowed brows, took in the tangled look on her face, and said directly as if she saw what she was thinking: "From Li Xuzhen's repeated actions in Taiyuan, he should know your identity without doubt." ”

"But how did he know? Is there any token on me, or is there any sign that I can't do? Hua Xiyan said, suddenly thought of the box he was holding when he came to Taiyuan, there was a turquoise hairpin in it, and asked abruptly, "Is there something strange about that hairpin?" ”

"That hairpin does have a story." Wang Yao nodded, gently rubbed the black black jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand with his right hand, and replied, "I remember that you got Lantian Jade by chance?" ”

Hua Xiyan nodded, a dull pain in his heart, thinking of the man in Qinghua in white. Isn't all his tenderness to himself because of these two pieces of jade? The true feelings that drowned everything, but how sincere is it?

Hua Xiyan's strength seemed to have been drained away, thinking that he must be disappointed, he wasted so much time on himself, but it seemed that he had gained nothing, hehe......

It's not that he got nothing, at least he got Lantian jade for him......

"That hairpin is the jasporite that everyone in the world covets."

When Wang Yao's words fell, Hua Xiyan was stunned, and the teacup in his hand came out of his hand, fell on the floor, and shattered into powder.
