"My name is Zhuang Wen, this is my brother Zhuang Wu, what is your name?"

"You're twins? It looks like, my name is Zhou Kun. ”

"Zhou Kun, why doesn't your mother stay in the room all day long, doesn't she like the sun?"

"No...... She is not in good health and cannot see outsiders. ”

"Zhuang Wen, what are you painting?"

"Long Teng Yunyue, the last time my father came back, I eavesdropped outside the study, and the emperor is in poor health now. If he dies, maybe you can go back and become emperor again, and then how about I make you a guard with a sword? ”

"I don't want to be an emperor, and now life is good."

"Don't be stupid, why don't you do it if you have an emperor, anyway, you are the prince."

"Zhuang Wen, it's not as simple as you think, so ...... It's a place to eat people. ”

"Huh?"

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you can call the old slave to chase, our family is here to invite you and Concubine De back to the palace. The emperor has decreed that Concubine De can return to live in Devon Palace when she goes back this time, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the cold palace have been killed, and the matter of the elder will no longer affect Niangniang. ”

"A few of you go over there to check, there was a young man with His Highness just now, find out the person."

"He has fled back, and there is a hiding place in the mountains, where my mother and Zhuang's family are there."

"Your Highness, who is that kid who escaped?"

“…… Zhuangwu"

Zhuang Xuewen looked at him and whispered: "It is said that the royal people are cold-blooded and ruthless, Your Majesty can be regarded as superior, in order to save the lives of the grass people, he betrayed his mother and the Zhuang family." Pity except for me, they didn't know until they died, it was the Seventh Prince, who was usually held in their hands as a treasure to protect, and personally brought Yulin's pro-army and eunuchs to the door to wash in blood. ”

"Zhuang Wen!" Zhou Kun gritted his teeth and glared at him.

Ignoring his anger, Zhuang Xuewen suddenly smiled and said softly: "The emperor exchanged the lives of dozens of Zhuang family members for the lives of the grass people, and the grass people should say something belated, Emperor Xie, long live long live long live." ”

Bang!

Zhou Kun pushed Zhuang Xuewen away and left angrily.

Zhuang Xuewen leaned against the pillar with his hands folded, his demeanor and tone had returned to his original appearance, "Your Majesty, let's continue to talk about the previous transaction." ”

Zhou Kun, who was dressed in a yellow robe, stopped, gritted his teeth and looked back at him fiercely, but saw Zhuang Xuewen smiling, just like the smile on his face when he met again in Guozijian yesterday after saying goodbye.

I'm out of shape......

Zhou Kun stabilized his mind, raised his head with his hand behind his back, and said lightly: "Zhuang Aiqing, I am a little interested in your plan, go to the apse and tell me about it." ”

"Grass people......" Zhuang Xuewen was interrupted by Zhou Kun as soon as he spoke, "In the future, you and I will be monarchs and ministers, and you don't need to call yourself a grass people." ”

Zhuang Xuewen arched his hand and looked at him and said, "The minister's will." ”

Lin Fei sent Zhuang Rou home, the third watch had passed, Zhuang Rou had even seen the emperor, and he was physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep directly on the bed.

She didn't sleep well at all, dreamed that she had become smaller, and that she was back when she was five years old, walking by a lake in the middle of nowhere.

There was snow everywhere on the road, but fortunately she was wearing a warm cotton skirt and a small cloak on the creaking snow, the lake had already formed thin ice, and there was a layer of cold air floating on the lake, and she couldn't see the distant scenery clearly.

Suddenly, Zhuang Rou saw a young man sitting by the lake in front of him, he was very thinly dressed, sitting on the snow by the lake without moving, and there was already white snow on his shoulders and head.

"Hey, who's this? Wear so little and come out. When she saw him, she felt that he was cold, and perhaps frozen, so she hurried to him, trying to give him the warm cloak on his body.

Before he could reach him, the boy suddenly stood up, threw himself into the lake, and threw himself into the lake.

Zhuang Rou stopped, stared at this scene blankly, his brain seemed to explode, and he directly threw himself to the lake and shouted: "Brother! ”

Crash!

Zhuang Xuewen came out of the icy lake water, his fourteen or fifteen-year-old body was frozen white in the lake water, and his lips had turned blue. The water on his body quickly froze in the wind, and the water on his hair was almost freezing. His eyes were a little red, and he stood in the chest-high ice water and looked at Zhuang Rou on the shore.

"Brother, come up, it's so cold down there." Zhuang Rou lay on the snow on the shore and stretched out her hand to him.

"Brother is not afraid of the cold, he just wants to sober up and think about something." Zhuang Xuewen didn't come up, still soaked in the water.

Zhuang Rou looked at him a little strangely, and suddenly asked, "Brother, do you want to be an uncle and aunt?" ”

Zhuang Xuewen didn't speak, just looked at her expressionlessly.

"Xiaorou likes her brother the most, when I grow up, I'll accompany my brother to find my uncle and aunt, okay? I am very capable, I can wash my hands, I walk without being hugged, I can eat all the food every time, and I can definitely find my uncle and aunt. Zhuang Rou stretched out her hand to grab him, but Zhuang Xuewen standing in the icy water scared her.

Seeing that her brother couldn't reach the water, Zhuang Rou stood up, but she slipped on the ice and snow under her feet and fell into the lake.

After only choking on a mouthful of biting ice water, she was picked up from the water by Zhuang Xuewen, and her whole body was already soaked. She didn't know why, her body was a little warm when she was soaked in the ice water, but it was painfully cold when she was exposed to the water.

"I'm sorry." Obviously wanted to save people, but got himself into the lake, Zhuang Rou was so cold that her teeth kept fighting, and she said incoherently with trembling lips.

Zhuang Xuewen hugged Zhuang Rou tightly, "Don't look for it, my sister is my dearest person, and I will always be good to you." ”

"I like my brother too, and I will be good to my brother when I grow up." Zhuang Rou was so cold that her whole body trembled, but she still felt Zhuang Xuewen's sadness, and subconsciously comforted her.

"Okay."

Zhuang Rou sat up from the bed violently, looked around in a daze, and only realized after a while that he had just dreamed.

No, that's not a dream!

She had long forgotten about it, but she remembered in her dream that it happened during the Chinese New Year before she left the capital to go out to play.

At that time, he almost froze her to death, but fortunately, Zhuang Xuewen withstood it, saying that he fell into the lake by himself and accidentally dragged his sister down, so that Zhuang Rou was spared from being grounded.

That time she also had a cold, but fortunately, nothing happened, and she was cured after taking a few pairs of medicines. Within a few months, she disappeared with her parents.

"Brother, was crying at that time......" Zhuang Rou sat on the bed, recalling the events of the time, and was deeply silent.

The sun shone in through the window, moving from the table to the bed, basking in Zhuang Rou's hands.

She sat on the bed for a long time and didn't move, suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, she didn't take off her clothes last night and fell asleep, and took out clean clothes and went to take a shower. After she washed up and changed her clothes, she walked to the front yard in good spirits, leaned back on the recliner, and shouted with a small fan: "Aunt Liu, I can't eat on a hot day, is there anything appetizing?" ”

Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen, and she was about to eat lunch before the young lady got up, "Miss, I have already soaked porridge in the well, and it should be okay with some sour radish." ”

"Okay." Zhuang Rou fanned and muttered, "You should ask the little county king to order ice cubes, his family must be too much to use up." ”

"Miss, I heard that these royal relatives and relatives are not at peace, and there are many rules, so let's have less contact with them." Aunt Liu picked up a basket from the well, and there was a sealed earthen pot in it, and brought it from the inside to the cold porridge, and persuaded her kindly.

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Aunt Liu, help me pack my luggage, I will follow Xiaojunwang to Hongzhou in two days, and I can only come back when I have holidays." ”

"What!" Aunt Liu was taken aback, why is this worse and farther away!

She nagged for a long time, and it wasn't until Zhuang Rou finished drinking the porridge that she was driven to pack her luggage.

Zhuang Rou didn't go out to investigate the case, and it was really most comfortable to stay at home on a hot day, and she didn't get up when she slept on the recliner.

She didn't go out to handle the case for a day, and everyone who paid attention to this matter knew about it, and they all heard that she was taken away by the Falcon Gate yesterday, and she must have suffered some hardship, so she stopped.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the little county king felt strange that she really didn't go. Think about it, if she doesn't even listen to the emperor's words, this will not turn the world upside down.

Zhuang Xuewen didn't believe it, after all, Tong Yu was still helping her check the affairs of the Ye family, but seeing that she didn't go out the next day, and she was packing her luggage with Aunt Liu at home on the third day, she didn't worry anymore.

She made an appointment with Chu Xia for three days, and she couldn't check it after the time passed, not only did she have no time, but the evidence was even more difficult to check.

On the evening of the third day, after eating, Zhuang Rou went out to eat. She walked around the street several times, and after making sure that no one was following her, she touched the bookstore where Tong Yu was.

She didn't make excuses, and said directly: "Although I won't investigate the case, I still have to know what is going on." The money has already been paid, and I still have to take this information, and I can't waste money. ”

Tong Yu already knew that her young lady didn't investigate the case, so she didn't say anything more and gave her the information she had found.

Zhuang Rou didn't look at it, took the information and left, slowly mixed up on the street, and went directly out of the capital.

The Ye family is holding a funeral, and the lights are all bright all night, but there are fewer people at night.

Although Mrs. Ye didn't have to preside over the funeral, she still had a lot of things to deal with, and there were many visitors, which made her old bones feel a little tired.

Yahuan helped her into the room, and she waved her hand to let them down, wanting to be alone for a while. Every night she had to recite the sutras for half an hour before she could fall asleep, and she would not see anyone at that time.

Mrs. Ye sat on the chair, and as soon as she closed her eyes and recited the scriptures, a hand reached out from behind her and directly covered her mouth.

"Mrs. Ye, this funeral is really hard for you. But thinking that the Ye family is about to have the ninth archway of chastity, the hard work is worth it. A voice sounded behind her, and Mrs. Ye immediately heard it, this was the little arrest who was going to investigate the case the day before yesterday.

I actually ran here, this is a trespass!

Old Mrs. Ye is not worried at all, she has experienced so many ups and downs, and a little Ying Arrest who will break into Ye's Mansion in the middle of the night is not her opponent at all.

"I'm not here to check the evidence, but I've already found out that your grandson was poisoned by his cousin at Ding Lian'er's last wedding, he fell from his horse and was seriously injured because of fright, and he hasn't woken up for a few months, but he will die at any time while hanging on his life."

"On the night of the wedding, he died." Zhuang Rou said in a low voice, I don't know how far away Yahuan is, it's better to keep her voice quiet.
