Early in the morning, someone came to Zhuangzi to tell Bai Haoqing that the child was snatched away.

Bai Haoqing was shocked, and while ordering someone to watch Shui Qingqing, he hurriedly left the house and rushed to Zhuangzi outside the city.

When he heard the people in Zhuangzi describe the appearance of the person who came, Bai Haoqing immediately thought of Mei Zijin, and then thought that Shui Qingqing quietly went out of the city with him yesterday, not as they said, but to go out of the city to find his aunt, but to find Yun'er, but happened to be stopped by the third prince......

Bai Haoqing didn't expect that Mei Zijin, who knew that Yun'er was not his child, would snatch the child for Shui Qingqing.

It turned out that Mei Zijin, who was stopped out of the city yesterday, although he was finally forced to agree to marry the fifth princess Leyi as his wife, and asked Li You to take Shui Qingqing away, but he did not discourage his determination to find Yun'er......

However, on the way to Zhuangzi, Mei Zijin was besieged by the Assassins again, and when he repelled the Assassins to Zhuangzi, Yun'er was taken away......

Therefore, even if it is the treacherous Bai Haoqing, he doesn't know that it was Mei Zijin who really took Yun'er away.

He thought that Mei Zijin would return the child to Shui Qingqing, so he no longer concealed his poisoning of Yun'er, and took it out to threaten Shui Qingqing.

Hearing that Bai Haoqing was actually poisoning Yun'er, Shui Qingqing's eyes were split, and she pulled out the hairpin on her head and threw it in front of Bai Haoqing, the tip of the hairpin pressed against his chest, and his teeth were so hateful that he was bleeding.

"You dare to poison Yun'er...... You don't even let go of your own grandson, are you still human! ”

Shui Qingqing's teeth creaked, the green tendons of the hand holding the hairpin burst out, and the hairpin in his hand stabbed Bai Haoqing uncontrollably with hatred.

The sharp hairpin pierced Bai Haoqing's body, and the blood slowly gushed out, leaving a dark dry trace on his Xuanqing's civilian clothes, and the smell of blood came to his nose!

Bai Haoqing watched coldly as Shui Qingqing pricked the hairpin into his flesh and skin, but he didn't even blink his eyelids, stared at her resentful eyes, and said coldly: "My father has long expected that you will not be reconciled - in fact, among the four children of my father, you are the most like me, and you will never compromise and be willing to all difficulties." Dying has to struggle, and that's exactly what we're talking about. Therefore, the father is also most optimistic about you! ”

From the moment he got Empress Chen's secret letter, Bai Haoqing expressed curiosity in his heart about this daughter who 'died' and was resurrected.

Later, he decided to disobey Empress Chen's wishes and instead support Shui Qingqing to become the queen. Even if he later knew that she was married and had children, his determination did not decrease but increased.

If Shui Qingqing was just a straw bale, Bai Haoqing would not have hope for her.

But after learning the purpose of Shui Qingqing's entry into the Hou Mansion, he not only felt that her marriage and childbirth were an obstacle for her to become the queen, but he saw her tenacity and unyielding courage and determination to be at the mercy of fate from the process of her difficult search for a child.

This discovery really made Bai Haoqing excited.

He felt that this was his Bai Haoqing's daughter, like him, there was a ruthlessness in his bones that he would not admit defeat, and he would never be willing to give in!

And only such a person can reach the top!

Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth and looked at him, and said fiercely with red eyes: "You are not worthy of being my father, and I will never recognize you as my father." You are cold-blooded and ruthless, you have no one in your heart, only power, you are worse than an animal! ”

In the face of Shui Qingqing's scolding, Bai Haoqing didn't care at all, raised his hand to pull the hairpin off his body, and said cruelly: "What a father cares about is power, and what you care about is feelings-can't you do anything for your son!" We're just the same kind of people! ”

"So, don't think that being a father is scaring you, let Mei Zijin return the child, otherwise, you will be the one who will kill the child in the end."

Shui Qingqing looked at the gloomy and terrible man in front of her in disbelief, there was a dead silence in her eyes, and she screamed in despair: "You are a careless person who does not believe in your word, you promised to take good care of Yun'er for me, but you poisoned him behind my back...... You promised to help your mother find out the real culprit and get justice for her, but you already knew that the person who killed her was the Yang family, but you should have done nothing to ......"

"No matter how ruthless you are, Yun'er is your grandson, and your mother is your wife, how can you use all the flesh and blood around you as pawns for you to reach the top...... You are already a powerful minister, one person is below ten thousand people, what else do you want? ”

Bai Haoqing's dark eyes are like the sea shrouded in dark clouds, bottomless and boundless, and the occasional flashing light is like a lightning hidden in the rolling dark clouds, indicating the arrival of a storm, which makes people shudder!

He wanted to tell his daughter what it meant to reach the top!

However, looking at Shui Qingqing's desperate eyes, he knew that now was not the time......

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Bai Hao said indifferently: "As long as you are obedient, Yun'er and I will take good care of you." And about the murderer of your mother, how simple it is to solve a Yang family. But you also know that there is someone else behind her, and it is not yet time to tell the whole body! ”

Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled violently, and she looked at him incredulously again, her eyes were full of horror, "You...... You know everything......"

"Not only does my father know, but I also know why you searched the hospital today, and it is the reason why you left Yang's life for your father!"

Bai Haoqing is such a shrewd person, what Shui Qingqing can think of, he has already noticed.

From the night when Empress Chen first asked Red Sleeves to send a secret letter to Baifu, he found out, and Empress Chen also sent a secret letter to Yang.

And from Empress Chen's rescue of Bai Lingwei, Bai Haoqing understood that the Yang family had become a person in the same boat as Empress Chen......

Seeing Shui Qingqing's stunned appearance, Bai Haoqing took out the secret letter that Empress Chen had written to him from his body, handed it to her, and said coldly: "The night before your mother's accident, I received a secret letter from Empress Chen at the same time as the Yang family. Although I haven't seen what is written on Empress Chen's secret letter to the Yang family, I guess for my father, it probably all means the same thing, so that my father will not recognize you, so that the marriage contract between you and the third prince will be invalidated! ”

Looking at the exact same letterhead in her hand as she had found from the Yang family, and then looking at the same handwriting and almost the same content on it, Shui Qingqing felt that her breath was stagnant, and the hatred in her heart tore her chest apart, and the hatred flowed everywhere......

After a long time, she sneered: "You just said that now is not the time to reveal it all, why do you still show me this secret letter?" Don't tell me that you left Yang's life to help me deal with Empress Chen! ”

Bai Haoqing looked at the hostility in Shui Qingqing's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is to remind you that just relying on the secret letter you get, you can't prove anything at all - Empress Chen is very cunning, there is no her name on the secret letter, there is no palace seal of her, and there is no direct order for the Yang family to kill your mother, so you can't bring down the queen with this secret letter, you will only expose yourself."

"And the Yang family is indeed staying for his father, and he will be the pawn of Empress Chen in the future."

The scheming Bai Haoqing, from the moment he decided to disobey Empress Chen and support Shui Qingqing to become the third princess, he knew that Empress Chen would not let him go in the future, so he also left a way out for himself.

Bai Haoqing's words woke Shui Qingqing, and she found that the secret letter was indeed as Bai Haoqing said, there was no trace of Empress Chen, and she could completely deny it.

Her heart was cold, and Shui Qingqing said coldly: "I'm afraid that I've been exposed." When the Yang family finds out that the secret letter is missing, they will definitely think that I took it, and they will immediately tell Empress Chen. ”

Bai Haoqing looked at her fixedly and said, "Are you afraid?"

Shui Qingqing looked at him fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of anyone—whether it's Queen Chen or you, I'm not afraid." So, you'd better take out the antidote and detoxify Yun'er's body. Otherwise, I won't let you go. ”

Bai Haoqing ignored Shui Qingqing's words, and said coldly as he walked out: "You let Mei Zijin send him back to the village, because his father will give him the antidote, otherwise, you will watch him die of poison!"

Seeing Bai Haoqing leave, Shui Qingqing wanted to cry without tears, and her heart ached.

What she didn't know was that Yun'er was not in Mei Zijin's hands......

Without thinking about it, Shui Qingqing immediately went out of the mansion to find Mei Zijin in the Hou Mansion.

However, when Shui Qingqing went to the Hou Mansion, the eunuchs in the palace were carrying the will of Emperor Jin Ming to the Hou Mansion to marry Mei Zijin and Princess Leyi.

Through the gate of the Hou Mansion that was opened, Shui Qingqing was hidden in the crowd of people watching the excitement, looking at the cold man who was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe and kneeling to receive thanks, sadness and guilt, as well as endless pain, spread in his heart.

At this point, she is finally going to marry someone else's wife. And he will eventually marry another woman.

In this life, don't say that she will be a wife or a concubine, and she can't expect it......

In order not to let people find her, Shui Qingqing, like her mother, wore a cyan veil on her face, blocking her face and the tears rolling down......

Behind her, a figure silently followed her.

Like Shui Qingqing, the man's eyes have been staring closely at the Hou Mansion, there is an undercurrent in his deep eyes, and his right hand unconsciously touches the little finger of his left hand......

After a while, he withdrew his eyes and looked at Shui Qingqing in front of him, even through the green yarn, he also felt the grief between her descriptions, and even saw the green yarn wet with tears, and his eyes became deeper......

The eunuch left, and the lively people dispersed, Shui Qingqing finally didn't have the courage to come to him on the day of Mei Zijin's wedding, and silently followed the crowd to go back.

When she met her, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Nameless: "Why are you here?"

Nameless said in a deep voice: "The subordinates want to protect the safety of the county lord, so they must always guard the county lord."

Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I won't come to Hou Ye again in the future......"

Nameless looked awkward, and said in a deep voice: "The county lord has misunderstood, his subordinates are not here to monitor the county lord, his subordinates are just to ensure the safety of the county lord." The subordinates have no right to ask who the county wants to see and what they want to do! ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's heart was quite shocked, and she couldn't help asking, "Nameless, how long have you been with the Third Highness?"

Nameless said: "Since the day I left the teacher, I have followed the Third Highness."

"You...... Still have family? ”

After a pause, Nameless lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice as always: "No!"

Shui Qingqing sighed: "With your skills, by following the Third Highness, you will have a great future." Wait a minute...... You'd better go back to Your Highness. ”

Nameless didn't reply to her words this time, and walked silently behind her......

After returning home, Shui Qingqing wrote a letter to Xiaoxi, asked Nameless to help her quietly deliver it to Xiaoxi, and then asked Xiaoxi to tell Mei Zijin that he would send Yun'er back to Zhuangzi within three days.

As soon as Nameless left, a black shadow broke in, but it was Mei Zijin!

Shui Qingqing looked at Mei Zijin who fell from the sky, her heart tightened, and she said in shock: "Why are you ...... Not again? ”

Didn't he just accept the marriage gift and accept the congratulations of officials from all sides in the palace, why did he come to her in a blink of an eye?

And yesterday the two were misunderstood and eloped, and today he was married by the emperor, if he is found to be quietly looking for her, not only jumping into the Yellow River can not be washed, but it will also cause an uproar......

Mei Zijin's face was anxious, and his usually calm voice was trembling, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Yun'er was taken away by the mask assassin!"

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Shui Qingqing's whole person was shocked, her head was roaring, and she was stunned for a long time: "What are you talking about...... Didn't Yun'er be taken away by you? How could it be...... How could it be taken away by the masked assassins......"

Mei Zijin's face was dark, and he said coldly: "Last night, I went to Zhuangshang to look for Yun'er, and I met the assassin again on the way, and when I repelled the assassin and rushed to Zhuangshang, Yun'er has been taken away by them......"

Shui Qingqing couldn't believe what she heard at all, she didn't understand why the masked assassin wanted to take Yun'er away? And now, Yun'er is poisoned, where is she going to find them?

The most important thing is that if she can't find the mask assassin within three days, she can't find Yun'er's name, what if Yun'er is poisoned?

Her heart was as anxious as numb, Shui Qingqing's whole body couldn't stop trembling, tears fell down like broken threads, and she said in a trembling voice: "Fang Cai...... Bai Haoqing told me that he poisoned Yun'er, and if he didn't send it back to Zhuangzi within three days, Yun'er would ...... Yun'er will be poisoned to death......"

Hearing this, Mei Zijin, who was already in a hurry, changed his expression greatly, and his heart seemed to be immersed in ice water, and it was cold.

But looking at Shui Qingqing's anxious and sad appearance, Mei Zijin quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Who is the masked assassin?" Do you have any news about him? ”

Because she was in a hurry, a heavy black shadow appeared in front of Shui Qingqing's eyes, she shook her head in a panic and weakly, and her lips trembled: "He never told me his identity, nor did he see him...... Every time he came and went without a trace, and he didn't know where to look for him......"

Mei Zijin's whole body was cold, and he helped Shui Qingqing, who was unstable on his feet, to sit down, even if he was in the same panic and worry as Shui Qingqing, but he still calmly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the person he has to deal with from beginning to end is me, and he won't hurt Yun'er...... I will do everything I can to find him as soon as possible......"

Mei Zijin thought to himself, if the masked assassin really used Yun'er against him, then he would definitely take the initiative to appear to find him.

And after listening to Mei Zijin's comfort, Shui Qingqing also tried her best to calm down.

She slammed her nails into her palms, letting the tingling of her palms calm herself.

Shui Qingqing, who had calmed down, suddenly thought of the fact that she had made an appointment with the mask assassin before and took Yun'er to leave the capital with her during the Lantern Festival, and she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart-

Does he still remember that agreement?

No, no, that day in the mourning hall, he obviously asked himself, knowing that she would not take Yun'er away......

Thinking of what he said to himself that day in the mourning hall, Shui Qingqing suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and looked at Mei Zijin eagerly, and asked, "Master Hou, in addition to the eldest son, do you have other brothers...... Even, a sibling of a mother? ”

In fact, Mei Zijin was suspicious of this question when he first discovered that the face of the masked assassin looked exactly like himself, but then he asked his mother privately, and Mrs. Hou told him with certainty that he had only given birth to one son......

Now that she heard Shui Qingqing mention it again, Mei Zijin felt strange again in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you ask like that?"

After hesitating for a moment, Shui Qingqing finally told Mei Zijin what the masked assassin said to her in the mourning hall that day.

“…… He said that in order to preserve his glory and wealth, the Hou Mansion could even kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands...... In addition, his figure is too imaginary with Hou Ye, so, I doubt that the mask assassin will be Hou Ye's brother? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room condensed.

Mei Zijin's thin lips were pursed, her cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and her deep eyes were full of mist, and her expression was solemn.

After a long moment, he said in a deep voice: "Actually, I have seen him ......"

"Ah......h

"During the first attack of the cold poison, he intercepted and killed the witch doctor halfway, and we confronted each other, and he suddenly took off the mask on his face, and the face under the mask was ...... with me Same! ”

When he said these words, Mei Zijin had mixed feelings in his heart, and his expression was even more complicated and indescribable.

He also wondered why there was a person in the world who was exactly like himself, and he still had a deep hatred for him, and he wanted to kill himself several times.

But he also believed that his mother would not lie to him, and if he really had other brothers, he could not have known.

What's more, the Hou Mansion has always had thin heirs, so he values the heirs the most, if it is really his brother, it is impossible for the Hou Mansion to kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands as he said......

But in the dark, Mei Zijin felt that there must be some kind of relationship between him and the Mask Assassin......

When Shui Qingqing heard Mei Zijin's words, her jaw almost dropped, and she looked at him dumbfounded, unable to even speak......

While the two of them in the room were guessing the identity of the masked assassin, a figure stood silently against the wall by the back window of the room, its deep eyes full of frost.

Especially when I heard Mei Zijin say that Mrs. Hou said that she had only given birth to one son, the hatred in her eyes was like a monstrous wave......

In this way, after learning that Yun'er was taken away by the mask assassin, Shui Qingqing looked forward to the mask assassin quietly appearing in front of him for the first time as before.

For this reason, she did not even dare to close her eyes at night, and stared at the window with her eyes open, hoping that he would appear from there......

She was even worried that it would be because Nameless was guarding the courtyard, so the masked assassin did not come to her, and deliberately let Nameless avoid it for the past two days.

This time, however, the Mask Assassin was nowhere to be seen.

In this way, Shui Qingqing seems to be tormenting in an oil pot every day, painful and worried, but she is helpless, and she doesn't know where to find the mask assassin?

In a blink of an eye, it was the three-day period that Bai Haoqing said.

And on this day, it is precisely the second dragon raising its head in February, and it is also Mei Zijin's birthday.

When the sky was about to dawn, the entire Bai Mansion was dark, Shui Qingqing was lying alone in the room, looking at the window with wide eyes, and her heart was so anxious that she was about to vomit blood-

Today is the final period, and it is almost dawn, and if the masked assassin does not appear again, Yun'er will be in danger.

Thinking that Yun'er might die of poison, Shui Qingqing felt that her breathing was going to be stagnant, and she gasped for breath. Sitting up from the bed in a panic, groping to the table to pour water to drink, just lifting the kettle with his hand, but his hand trembled at the sudden screaming noise outside, and the kettle fell to pieces under his feet.

Shui Qingqing's heart became inexplicably flustered, and she came to the window to check, only to find that there was a fire on the side of the Evergreen Courtyard, and the noisy shouts were also coming from there.

At this time, it was the darkest hour before dawn, and the sky and the earth were as dark as ink, so the bright lights of the Evergreen Courtyard were particularly dazzling and panicked.

Looking at everything that suddenly happened in front of her, Shui Qingqing suddenly thought of something, put on her coat, and hurriedly opened the door and headed towards the Evergreen Courtyard.

However, before she could reach the gate of the courtyard, a figure suddenly flashed in outside.

By the dim light of the lantern in her hand, Shui Qingqing was shocked to see that the person who appeared in front of her turned out to be a masked assassin.

"You ......"

Shui Qingqing exclaimed in surprise Before she could say anything, the masked assassin covered her mouth, stuffed a bag of things into her hand, and whispered in her ear: "This is Yun'er's antidote...... After dawn, you go to Suzaku Lane to find the blacksmith Liu who is striking iron at the corner of the street, and Yun'er will take care of them at home......"

Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled, her hanging heart was instantly put down, and her heart was instantly replaced by excitement and joy.

However, before she could speak, there were already noisy footsteps coming towards the main courtyard, and the masked assassin pushed her into the room and said in a deep voice: "Bai Haoqing will definitely suspect that you stole the medicine, you have to find a way to cover up the past...... Remember to find an opportunity to go out of the house to save Yun'er......"

Seeing that the mask assassin was leaving, Shui Qingqing grabbed his sleeve and said eagerly, "What about you?"

When Shui Qingqing inadvertently grabbed the masked assassin's injured arm, he couldn't help but gasp and said in a muffled voice: "If I can escape, I'll go to Suzaku Lane to find you......"

After that, he didn't stop any longer, and walked out of the courtyard......

The pursuing guards outside immediately chased in the direction where the masked assassin had fled.

Shui Qingqing was stunned for a moment, excited and worried in her heart.

The next moment, she thought of what the Mask Assassin had told her, and hurriedly found a place to hide the antidote and clean the blood stains on her hands from the Mask Assassin.

As soon as he finished everything, the door was pushed open heavily, and Bai Haoqing brought people into the house with a gloomy face.

Not only that, but the main courtyard was surrounded by guards, and the lights were bright.

The gloomy eyes swept towards Shui Qingqing's face, and Bai Hao said coldly: "The guard sent to you by His Royal Highness, where is he now?"

Shui Qingqing thought that he was here to ask for an antidote, but he didn't expect that Bai Haoqing would ask Nameless as soon as he opened his mouth.

And after he asked, Shui Qingqing realized that there was such a big movement in the entire Bai Mansion, and even now, Bai Haoqing led people to break in and surrounded the entire main courtyard, and the nameless who had always been vigilant was nowhere to be seen......
