"Ahh Shen Ruan exclaimed, and he could dodge the sword blade, "Chu Nian, you are really crazy!" ”

Chu Nian sneered and looked at Shen Ruan, the short blade under his hand emitted a cold light under the moonlight, facing Chu Nian's cold eyes, Shen Ruan suddenly felt a little weak, she staggered back as Chu Nian approached step by step, and the killing intent in front of her never reduced even a bit.

She spoke, like a hell demon god: "Shen Ruan, do you think that if I don't kill you, I'm afraid of you?" ”

Shen Ruan's body shrank suddenly, she leaned backwards against the soft edge, and fell on the couch with a fall.

The killing intent from Chu Nian was too obvious, Shen Ruan didn't even know what to do, she looked at Chu Nian with a frightened face: "Chu Nian, don't come here again, if you kill me, the Queen Mother will not let you go." ”

The candle flame was extinguished, and a cold voice sounded in the darkness: "Do you think that the Queen Mother will marry you to Ming Xiu, and Ming Xiu will really marry you?" ”

Shen Ruan calmed down instead, she looked at the silhouette in the darkness opposite, "I don't know if Ming Xiu will marry me, but you, the person who killed the queen, will definitely not be able to marry Brother Ming Xiu." ”

The moonlight came out of the window, and the pair of watery eyes reflected were even colder, Shen Ruan tried his best to suppress his breathing that couldn't be calm, and then he heard a sneer from Chu Nian's side: "Do you want to break the net with me?" ”

Shen Ruan frowned, and his figure shrank back a few points again: "I can't say that the fish is dead and the net is broken, but you have been abandoned by Brother Ming Xiu." ”

Chu Nian took a few steps closer, not wanting to talk nonsense with her anymore, and the short sword reached Shen Ruan's throat: "Since the matter has come to this, why do I still keep your cheap life?" ”

The coldness was in his throat, and Shen Ruan knew that Chu Nian was not joking this time, and he was immediately terrified: "Impossible, what are you going to do, don't ......"

Blood splattered on the curtain, Shen Ruan's screams were suppressed in her throat, and her face was full of disbelief and horror in the darkness.

Chu Nian gradually regained her composure, she pulled the curtain beside her and wiped the short sword in her hand clean, and a cold light bloomed on the blade of the sword again.

……

"Did she really do it?"

The Queen Mother was lying on her side on the soft collapse, her face showing a little different color.

The man in the mask leaned against the lintel not far away, and a pair of gray eyes under the golden mask looked very strange.

"Hmm."

"Then do the mourning family want to spread this news and let Shen Duan go to Chu Nian's trouble?"

Dark Rin's figure moved, and he shook his head silently: "If this news is from the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be that the Queen Mother knew about it but didn't stop Chu Nian's movements?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced slightly: "Then what should I do." ”

"In my opinion, the Queen Mother can wait for the news to be sent to Shen Dui, although Shen Dui doesn't care much about this sister, but Shen Dui is a smart person, I don't believe he can't seize this opportunity to pull Chu Nian off the horse."

Dark Rin lowered his eyes in contemplation, the outline of the golden mask looked particularly permeable in the moonlight, "As for Ming Xiu's side, ......" A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

"Just leave it to Shen Dui."

The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully, and saw that Dark Rin raised her head again, "Bother the Queen Mother, send the body of the Queen Mother to Kyoto, and make sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the news first." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother responded: "Then the mourning family will send a letter to Wang Zixuan......"

"Don't." A pair of sharp eyebrows under the mask frowned slightly: "Now Lord Wang has completely become Qinghe's person, but Qinghe has not made a move so far, I doubt their position, I am afraid that it is not only against Chu Nian." ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The gray pupils under the mask shrank slightly, "Didn't the Queen Mother remember Prince Ning'an and General Huaihua who were destroyed?" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes froze.

After a while, the queen mother's body moved slightly, and the curtains fell from both sides, and a looming graceful figure could be seen.

A charming voice that did not belong to the Queen Mother's age came from the curtain, causing a ripple in those gray eyes, "The mourning family knows." ”

The light in the gray eyes gradually faded away, and the inky figure rolled over the window lattice, dissolving into the darkness.

The queen mother's angry voice sounded in the curtain: "When the mourning family completely restores the appearance of their youth, I don't believe that your wood has not reacted, Mama Bai." ”

Mama Bai entered the room in response, and saw the Queen Mother who was still in a bewitching posture on top of the soft collapse, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

She took away her complexion and carefully lifted half of the curtain: "The Queen Mother, the old slave is here." ”

Inside the curtain is an old man with gray sideburns and wrinkled face, this old man is scratching his head in front of a bronze mirror, and his eyes look so weird and weird.

"You go and give an order, send a letter to the prince, and say that the queen has collapsed, and the mourning family will send the queen's body back to the capital on a certain day, so that he can mourn and change."

As he spoke, the old face in the bronze mirror was dyed with a smile: "The mourning family finally rejected a game, but the mourning family wants to see it, with such a stimulus, Chu Nian can't use it, how long can Ming Xiu jump now." ”

……

On a cool night, a bright moon rose high, a figure leaned on the beam, a plain white dress, pear blossoms hung between the black hair, under the catharsis of the moonlight, the slender figure was extremely lonely.

Chu Nian's mind was very confused, of course she knew that Dark Rin deliberately asked the Queen Mother to stimulate the already fragile Queen Mother with words in order to separate her and Ming Xiu, just like at the moment, she didn't know how to explain to Ming Xiu when she went back, the Queen Mother's next plan must be to let the news of the queen's collapse spread back to Ming Xiu's ears, but it could be ...... later

She was too arrogant, always thinking that taking one step at a time and looking at one step at a time with her ingenuity would definitely be a natural straight boat to the bridge, but she was still careless, she ignored people's hearts, and she should have noticed the queen's mood a long time ago, if she had noticed the queen's mood a long time ago, this would not have happened now......

A great panic crept through her, and she even began to wonder if it had been wrong in the first place.

A cool breeze blew overhead, and the untreated black hair fluttered slightly, covering a face full of disappointment.

At this time, a crisp voice sounded from Chu Nian's side, Chu Nian turned her eyes, and met a pair of complex and narrow eyes, her heart was cold, and she turned around to leave.

Seeing that the plain white figure was about to disappear in front of his eyes, Ming Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her; "I've heard it all, and it's not all your fault."

Chu Nian struggled and wanted to withdraw his hand from the warm palm that the man was holding, but how could the woman's strength not be as strong as that of the man, maybe she was subconsciously more attached to this kind of ...... Warm.

"Nian'er, I also saw the book left by the queen mother before, the queen mother had long wanted to commit suicide, but it was just a loophole by the queen mother, blame me, who was a son-in-law, for not being able to perceive the queen mother's thoughts early, don't blame you, Nian'er ......"

A low sobbing sound came from the wind, and Ming Xiu's face was stunned.

He strained his hand, and the slender figure suddenly crashed into his embrace, his chest ached, his eyes half drooped, and he sniffed the fragrance of her hair vigorously.

Chu Nian nestled in the embrace of the fragrance of lotus flowers, her eyes were wet and she couldn't help herself, this was too ridiculous, it was obviously her negligence that caused the queen...... But she still had this face to lean into his arms and cry bitterly, this is not right...... The death of the queen mother, he should be more sad than her.

"It's okay, Nian'er, you cry, along with my share." Chu Nian raised his eyes, and then met a pair of bloodshot eyes, he seemed to be suppressing something, and there was a whimper in his throat, Chu Nian remembered in a trance that it was the first time she saw Ming Xiu crying.

The resolute, calm, and distant Ming Xiu cried.

Chu Nian suddenly forgot the frustration he was coiled in his heart, and let Ming Xiu hug his body tightly, and his shoulders were wet.

She raised her hand and patted Ming Xiu's back: "Your Highness......"

"The queen mother likes to call me Ah Xiu."

Chu Nian's chest ached, and he couldn't help but clench the clothes on his back with his jade hand: "...... Axiu. ”

In the middle of the night, when the moon set, there was only silence left, on the beams of the house, the two hugged each other, both sides knew that the other party was extremely fragile at the moment, but no one pierced the camouflage, just hugged each other and turned into two sculptures under the moon, and no one tacitly understood that anyone was enlightening each other.

It wasn't until the moon almost set that Ming Xiu raised his head, a pair of narrow eyes still with a little water stains, at this moment he looked more like a fragile and helpless child, he wiped away his tears, slowly let go of the embrace that hugged Chu Nian, and bent his eyes at the silent Qingshan Temple below, and there was a cold color as far as his eyes could see.

"Nian'er, you shouldn't have killed Shen Ruan impulsively."

Chu Nian half-lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, and after a while, she looked at Shang Mingxiu's serious eyes.

Ming Xiu frowned and looked at her: "In this way, wouldn't it give Shen Duan a chance to accuse you of your sin?" ”

But I saw the slender woman slowly sitting on the beam, the original tears were cold at the moment, her eyes followed Ming Xiu to look not far away, the only room with lights on in the Zhai room - the Queen Mother is afraid of the dark, and always calls people to sleep with the lamp at night, at this moment the entire Qingshan Temple is dark, only the light in the Queen Mother's room is particularly abrupt.

"I just want to see which faction Dark Rin belongs to, and besides, if Shen Dusk really sends it to the door, it's just the right time."

Ming Xiu put his hands behind his back and frowned without a trace.

"Then you've tried it out? The prince's faction, the queen mother's faction, the royal family's faction, and the Qinghe faction? ”

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, with a faint hint of doubt in his eyes: "He is hostile to the Wang faction, and the prince faction, Prince Ning'an was slaughtered by him personally, as for Qinghe...... I think he seems to have an enmity with Qinghe, but if he is the queen mother's faction, now it looks like he is using the power of the queen mother? ”

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Ming Xiu: "Zhu Qing reported that the dosage of the Queen Mother's medicine has been almost done, and the effect of the medicine has already been exerted, and now in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she herself should be young and beautiful, and she has seduced Dark Rin many times, but Dark Rin has never obeyed the Queen Mother, and it is obvious that he also knows the effect of the Queen Mother's medicine." ”

Ming Xiu's eyes darkened: "He didn't tell the Queen Mother the truth, nor did he find a way to help the Queen Mother detoxify, and he was not completely loyal to the Queen Mother." ”

Chu Nian nodded, the tears in the corners of her eyes gradually dried, and she half-narrowed her eyes and said, "But he is not a member of our faction." ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu frowned, "I'll send someone to investigate his background." ”
