Chapter 79: The Catastrophe of Doom

After returning from the mass grave, Mei Zijin learned the news that Shui Qingqing was still alive, and the dead heart couldn't help but come alive again.

Not only that, but the entanglement and pain in his heart were instantly let go, because he no longer had to seek revenge on his twin brother......

When Mei Zijin returned to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou had woken up, but there was no nameless figure in the house.

Mrs. Hou woke up and saw her little son, and even saw the severed finger on the ground, and couldn't help but feel sad, and cried sadly for a long time, until she drank the tranquilizer and fell asleep again.

After settling his mother, Mei Zijin strictly ordered the people of the Hou Mansion not to reveal the slightest rumor about the events of that night.

Although everyone didn't know what happened in the old lady's room that night, they all responded in fear when they looked at Mei Zijin's unusually serious face and tone.

Thinking of Shui Qingqing and Yun'er, as well as the nameless who was seriously injured and missing, Mei Zijin could sleep there.

He wants to find Nameless, who is seriously injured, and is worried that something will happen to him, but he doesn't know where to find him?

It wasn't until he saw the mask in his hand that Mei Zijin suddenly thought that he had been in contact with Shui Qingqing as a mask assassin before.

Perhaps, she knew where he was.

Thinking of this, he came to Baifu quietly again at night, and sure enough, he successfully found Nameless here, and even saw all this in the house.

Looking at the warm appearance of the two people eating shou noodles together in the house, Mei Zijin felt mixed tastes in his heart, and the sour and astringent taste filled his heart......

After eating the noodles, under the influence of the medicinal power, Nameless fell asleep peacefully this time.

Shui Qingqing probed his forehead again, although the fever had not subsided, but he felt that the temperature had dropped a little lower than before, and he breathed a sigh of relief, helped him cover the quilt, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, and saw Mei Zijin standing in the yard at a glance.

looked slightly stunned, at this time, looking at Mei Zijin who suddenly appeared in her yard, although Shui Qingqing was surprised, everything was in her expectation.

Looking at her with deep eyes for a moment and full of affection, Mei Zijin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Thank you!" ”

Shui Qingqing thought that he was grateful for taking care of Nameless, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yun'er and I fell down the stairs, and it was he who saved us, so we were seriously injured...... Yes I want to thank him......"

Before she finished speaking, Mei Zijin stretched out her long arm and pulled Shui Qingqing into her arms, hugging her tightly, eager to rub her into her own flesh and bones.

"Thank you for being alive...... Thank you for letting me see you again......"

When she said these words, Mei Zijin's heart still couldn't stop trembling, and her hand hugged Shui Qingqing tighter and tighter, almost making her breathless.

Shui Qingqing didn't know that before, the nameless lied to Mei Zijin that she had passed away, so she was slightly stunned when she heard his words.

She could feel the worry in his heart about her, as well as the panic in his words, and couldn't help but whisper: "I've been fine, Master Hou doesn't have to worry." ”

Mei Zijin hugged her tightly in his arms, greedily inhaled the faint mint fragrance on her body, and said movingly: "What about Yun'er? How is Yun'er? Where is he now? Is it safe? ”

Shui Qingqing was relieved: "Yun'er is very good and safe now. ”

There have been too many things in these days, and the only thing that makes Shui Qingqing happy is that Yun'er is finally okay now.

Mei Zijin's hanging heart was completely put down, and she buried her head on her shoulder tiredly, and said sadly: "I'm waiting for you in Huiwei Building today, why don't you come...... Have you really decided not to see me again? Where is Yun'er, I miss him too......"

I don't know if it was because the nameless lie before scared Mei Zijin, or because the two of them in the house were eating Shou Mian together that stimulated him, Mei Zijin at this moment has long lost his usual calm self-confidence, and there is a faint sadness around him, and even his words are less calm and more indulgent.

Mei Zijin's words made Shui Qingqing think of what Bai Haoqing had said to her before, and her heart sank, and she couldn't help but break free from his embrace, took two steps back and raised her eyes to look at him quietly, pressed the sadness in her heart, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Hou Ye, I told Haizi before, I am different from Hou Ye now, Hou Ye should not come to me again in the future...... Yun'er doesn't need to worry about Hou Ye anymore...... Hou Ye lives his own life......"

The four words 'different identities' are now the four words that Mei Zijin hates and hears the most, and they are also from beginning to end, between him and Shui Qingqing, an invisible and insurmountable abyss, making him desperate and insurmountable.

Before, he was her brother-in-law, and the principle of ethics made him painful and entangled.

And now, she finally got rid of Sheng Yu's identity and found her true life experience, and she has a marriage contract with Li You, and she can't help it......

"I'll take you away, let's leave the capital with Yun'er and go to the border pass, and never come back......"

The deep despair made Mei Zijin feel like a dying fish trapped on the shore after leaving the water, and every breath he took was so heartbroken.

And this sentence buried deep in his heart, in the end, Mei Zijin gritted his teeth and didn't say it again......

He is the Marquis of Dingguo with heavy troops, he wants to hold the territory for the Great Jin, he can't be capricious. He can't harm the entire Hou Mansion because of his own selfish desires......

Mei Zijin looked at Shui Qingqing deeply, and said with difficulty: "The county lord said this, but he has already made the decision to become the third princess?" ”

Shui Qingqing saw the despair in his eyes and his heartache at the same time, but he also knew that now, there are still six days of marriage. At this time, whether it is for him or Li You, there can be no more accidents, otherwise, it will harm three people.

With a marriage contract, if she can't refuse ruthlessly and give him hope, it will be a catastrophe for Mei Zijin......

In this way, Shui Qingqing smiled indifferently and said with a hard throat: "The Third Highness is wise and wise, and he is very good to me...... It's the marriage that my mother replaced me with her life, and I can't live up to him, let alone my mother's last words...... The wedding dress is ready, and the wedding date is approaching, and I am ready to be the third princess......"

With a flickering figure, Mei Zijin looked at her with a pale face, her lips moved, and she said with difficulty for a long time: "The county lord is right, it has always been me who disregarded the county lord's situation, entangled the county lord, and made the county lord embarrassed...... I won't be in the future......" "Please help me take good care of him!" ”

With that, Mei Zijin left in a hurry, and her figure disappeared into the vast night......

As soon as he left, the entire courtyard was empty, and Shui Qingqing's heart was even more empty, tearing in pain, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

In fact, from the moment she agreed to Emperor Jin Ming's marriage, she had completely lost him......

With heavy steps, Mei Zijin silently walked to the garden in the backyard like a walking corpse, and came to the place where Mei Zijin took Yun'er to meet her during the last Lantern Festival.

The lanterns that night were so beautiful, illuminating the garden with a brilliant and colorful color, which made her desperate heart more colorful.

And that night, he was even more handsome, holding a lantern and holding Yun'er standing under the tree waiting for her. His arms were slender and powerful, and he took them into his arms and told her that he did not dislike her origins and that he was willing to be Yun'er's father......

That's right, Yun'er is a fatherless child, how good is he willing to be his father......

Tears rippled down, Shui Qingqing's thin body leaned against the trunk of the tree, curled up and wept silently. The cold body has long been unable to perceive the cold of the outside world, and the cold is to the bone......

Early the next morning, Shui Qingqing fed Nameless and drank medicine again, feeling that his body temperature was much normaler, and he went to the palace regardless of his physical exhaustion.

Bai Haoqing didn't worry about her, and accompanied her into the palace in person.

As soon as he left the mansion, he saw the carriage of the palace parked at the gate of the White Mansion, the curtain of the car was half opened, and Li You was sitting in the car in a silver and white brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns, his eyes gently swept over Shui Qingqing's face, and he said slowly: "Get in the car." ”

Li You personally came to pick up Shui Qingqing into the palace, Bai Haoqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Shui Qingqing into Li You's carriage.

Compared with yesterday, Li You's face looked much better today, and it returned to its previous gentle and free appearance, and there was a sense of relief between her handsome eyebrows, and after Shui Qingqing sat down, she asked, "Have you taken the medicine?" ”

Shui Qingqing thought that he was asking about her 'sick' taking medicine, so she nodded hurriedly and said, "Eat, thank you Your Highness for your concern." ”

Li You said again: "If you still don't feel well, let's ride into the palace." ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing was slightly stunned, and then she realized that Li You was talking about her motion sickness, and her heart couldn't help but warm, and she hummed softly.

All the way to the palace, Shui Qingqing thought about yesterday's events, and was about to explain to Li You, Li You had already spoken: "Yesterday's incident, Bai Xiang has sent someone to tell the palace...... Are you feeling better? ”

After that, Li You's slender jade palm gently covered it, and the palm was attached to her forehead, frowning and said, "It's still a little hot......

Shui Qingqing was stunned by Li You's sudden move, and although she deceived Red Sleeves and Bai Haoqing in her words yesterday, she had no shame to say it again to Li You, looking at his clear and warm eyes, she felt guilty.

But Li You seemed to be completely convinced, and no longer asked her about yesterday's incident, and said indifferently: "In the future, when you go to the Three Princes' Mansion, you can also do what you want to do, such as making wine, you don't need to look at anyone's eyes - if you want to drink, this palace can also drink with you." ”

With a shock in her heart, Shui Qingqing finally looked up at Li You opposite.

His face was warm but with a hint of solemnity, his eyes looked at Shui Qingqing with a stunned face, his long eyelashes were half-constricted, as if waiting for her reply.

Since the real parting with Mei Zijin last night, Shui Qingqing's heart has been like ashes, her description is gloomy, and her eyes have lost their brightness.

She met Li You's gaze and pursed her lips with difficulty: "Since Your Highness already knows that I belong to someone else in my heart, why do you want to be so good to me?" ”

The eyelashes trembled slightly, and Li You smiled bitterly: "I'm not good to you, I want to be nice to myself." ”

He stared into her eyes and said slowly, word by word: "It is precisely because I know that there are other people in your heart and you will not like me, so I can also rest assured that you will stay by my side and will not disturb your mind because of love words." ”

The more she listened, the more confused Shui Qingqing's face became, and the more she couldn't understand it.

When the carriage came to the city gate, Li You and Shui Qingqing got off together, but they did not go straight to Chuxiu Palace, but led her to the high city gate.

On the tall and majestic Beiding City Gate, the first morning light sprinkled from the sky, casting a golden light on the ancient city bricks, illuminating the mottled dark marks between the brick joints clearly.

The silver-white robe on Li You's body was crossed by the morning light with a layer of golden light, and his handsome face was even more like a god arriving in the world, standing with his hands in his hands, raising his chin to look at the bustling capital below, and said proudly: "This is the world of our Li family, as far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight." Raise the horse and whip, and do not reach the margin within a month - after that, it will soon be the world of me Li You alone! ”

Shui Qingqing squinted her eyes and looked at the high-spirited king of the world around her, and while her heart shook, she suddenly understood the meaning of Li You's previous words.

At this moment, Li You turned his head sideways and looked at her fixedly, and said: "From the moment this palace was born, I was disciplined, as a prince, you can have everything in the world, but you can't have love - you can spoil a woman to heaven, but you can't love her with feelings." ”

Shui Qingqing nodded and said with a bitter smile: "What Your Highness means, I understand." ”

Li You's handsome side face was enveloped in the shadow of the morning light, and he couldn't see it clearly, he said slowly: "In six days, it will be your wedding and mine, at that time, the palace will personally lead you through this city gate, and introduce you to the royal temple, your name will also be engraved into the royal jade plate, and our children are the dragon sons and dragon daughters who inherit the world of the Great Jin Dynasty, and enjoy prosperity forever!" ”

Shui Qingqing's body trembled slightly, and her hands under her sleeves were cold.

She said softly, "What does Your Highness want me to do?" ”

Li You stretched out his hand and held the cold hand under her sleeve, and gently rubbed, "You are my wife and cousin, I will not treat you badly, I can even make a vow to you today, and when I ascend the throne of God, the position of the queen must be yours." ”

"Therefore, now, you and I should abandon all other thoughts that should not be had, let go of all the things and people that we want to let go, and wait for the arrival of the wedding day with peace of mind - you must know that the dignity of the royal family and the dignity of the palace cannot be ignored and trampled on!"

The meaning of Li You's words is very clear, that is, to tell Shui Qingqing that at this time, the arrow is already on the string, and she can't be allowed to want to withdraw from the marriage again!

Shui Qingqing's heart was gloomy, and she smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, rest assured, I am ready to get married." Entering the palace today is to explain yesterday's events with Niangniang and relieve the mustard in Niangniang's heart. ”

Li You finally laughed, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Come, let's go see the queen mother." Don't be afraid, Hongu will help you speak. ”

When I came down from the castle tower, I happened to see Mei Zijin coming into the palace.

When he got down from the carriage, he saw the two people standing on the city tower, and when he saw the two of them coming down from the city tower hand in hand, his eyes were gray, and after bowing to Li You from afar, he walked forward alone with his robe.

Feeling that the little hand he was holding stiffened, Li You smiled indifferently, didn't seem to care, took Shui Qingqing's hand, and walked towards Queen Chen's Chuxiu Palace without squinting.

Knowing that Shui Qingqing was coming, Empress Chen dispersed the harem concubines of Chen Province early, and asked the red sleeves to wait in the side hall early.

When Li You and Shui Qingqing entered, in front of the exquisite tea table made of rosewood, in addition to Empress Chen, there was another young woman in red, whispering and chuckling with Empress Chen, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Empress Chen's face just lost half of the woman's smile, and smiled indifferently: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Rou is more active than you, and she came to accompany the palace before dawn. ”

The girl in red in front of her was the grandnephew of the Queen Mother's family, Lord Linrou.

Lord Linrou's face is white, although her appearance is not particularly amazing, but she is also delicate and bright, and her eyebrows and eyes are even more heroic, but she is not as delicate as her name.

Lord Linrou's eyes quickly swept from Shui Qingqing's face, her eyes flashed slightly, and the next moment she looked at Li You with a smile and said with a smile: "Linrou has seen His Royal Highness and Sister Guanqing. ”

From the moment Li You saw Lord Linrou, his gentle face turned cold, and he was dissatisfied with Queen Chen: "Didn't the queen mother deliberately let Guan Qing accompany you?" Why did you call someone else again!? ”

Hearing this, Lord Linrou's eyes dimmed, and the corners of his raised lips couldn't help but froze, and he stayed on the spot with an embarrassed face.

Shui Qingqing had already heard Bai Haoqing mention that Empress Chen wanted to let the county lord of Linrou in front of her be Li You's princess, so she immediately understood in her heart that it was false for Empress Chen to miss her mother and ask herself to be a companion, so it was true that the county lord of Linrou would come forward and let herself know how to retreat.

Therefore, hearing Li You's words that showed no mercy to Lin Rou, Shui Qingqing did not say anything, and quietly watched from the side.

Sure enough, Lin Rou quickly came back to her senses and said politely to Queen Chen: "Niangniang, the courtiers will retire first, and don't disturb Niangniang and Her Royal Highness Sister Guanqing to share a happy family." ”

Empress Chen's eyes swept towards Shui Qingqing, who was standing quietly on the side, and before Lin Rou left, she said with a smile: "It's all a family, what's so good to see." ”

After that, he said to Li You: "The first time Guan Qing entered the palace, the queen mother was afraid that she would be restrained, so she specially asked Lin Rou to accompany her - the two are of the same age, and Lin Rou is the leader of our Dajin noble girl circle, regardless of family knowledge, or conversation and behavior, she is a model for all ladies to learn, and the palace likes her very much." ”

Empress Chen did not hesitate to exaggerate the county lord of Linrou, personally stepped forward and pulled her back to the table, beckoning Shui Qingqing to take a seat as well. Let the two of them sit on their sides, one left and one right.

After hesitating for a moment, Li You finally sat down opposite Empress Chen.

On the tea table, there are a few delicate pastries, in the mutton fat golden jade teacup, there is a golden tea soup like amber, and the huge side hall is filled with a faint honey sweet tea fragrance, which makes people fall in love with it.

Li You picked up the teacup and handed it to Shui Qingqing's hand, and said softly: "This is the best Jin Junmei newly paid tribute this year, it is very good, you can try it." ”

Empress Chen saw Li You's partial protection of Shui Qingqing, her eyebrows and eyes were silent, but the corners of her mouth evoked a sneer of disgust that was not easy to detect, and said with a smile: "Yes, I know that you were frightened by the accident yesterday, and you definitely didn't have a good rest at night, so this palace specially asked someone to brew this refreshing fragrant tea for you, you drink more." ”

After that, Xingyan looked at Shui Qingqing fixedly, waiting for her answer.

Shui Qingqing raised her eyes, and her eyes met Empress Chen's gaze without fear.

Before Empress Chen went to the White Mansion to mourn, Shui Qingqing had already seen her.

But at that time, she only regarded her mother's best sister as her beloved aunt, so she didn't bother to look at her at all.

And now, she learned the true face of Empress Chen from Aunt Pian, and personally got the evidence from Yang that she seduced Yang and framed her mother.

In this way, seeing her again, Shui Qingqing's mood has undergone earth-shaking changes, which is very different from before.

She looked at Empress Chen up close, looked at her bright and moving smooth face, and couldn't help but think of her mother's horrible face full of scars in her mind, and the hatred in her heart began to churn-

Hurt her mother so miserably all her life, but she is admired by thousands of people here, when has God opened his eyes?!

She stared at Empress Chen's eyes, and said slowly word by word: "My aunt misses my mother, and Guan Qing misses my mother even more - thinking about my mother's poor life and tragic fate, thinking about my mother's unavenged revenge, and I can't sleep day and night." Therefore, I want to make new wine for my mother to worship my mother, so that my mother can tell me in a dream who is the real murderer of her. Who is the wicked person who owes her life? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly froze, and Empress Chen's face was even more stagnant and condensed.

Li You's face condensed when he saw his mother, and hurriedly said: "Before my aunt died, Guan Qing promised to make wine for her to drink. And yesterday, she went out of the house to buy wine for her aunt to make wine, and happened to be trapped in the wine shop in heavy rain, and then drank a few more glasses of wine and slept in the wine shop, and when she woke up, it was dark......"

Empress Chen smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and she looked at Shui Qingqing and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to have such filial piety, and I didn't expect you to be able to make wine." I've heard your mother say before, before you found you, you suffered a lot, and Bengong was really curious, what did you live on with your adoptive father before? ”

As early as when the Yang family asked Empress Chen for help and asked her to come forward to save Bai Lingwei from prison, he told Empress Chen about Shui Qingqing's life experience in the Western Desert in a secret letter, so there was nothing she didn't know about her previous adoptive father who was a walking artist, about her marrying an idiot, and even borrowing seeds to beat her son.

Therefore, hearing that Shui Qingqing would make wine, the county lord of Linrou who was sitting opposite looked surprised, but Queen Chen did not have the slightest look of surprise on her face, there was disgust hidden in her eyes, and her body was not free to move closer to the lord of Linrou.

The communication between people, sometimes even if it is silent, just the breath that exudes from her body can make people perceive her likes and dislikes.

And Shui Qingqing felt Empress Chen's dislike for herself from the moment she entered the hall, and after she took her seat, this feeling became stronger.

She was still suspicious before, the last time Queen Chen went to Baifu, although she was hypocritical, she still pretended to hold her hand and ask for warmth, but today, she let herself enter the palace under the pretext of missing her mother, and it stands to reason that she should be pretending to be affectionate to herself, but she obviously avoided herself, and couldn't help but make Shui Qingqing wonder.

Now hearing Empress Chen abruptly ask about her adoptive father, Shui Qingqing's heart suddenly flashed brightly-

Yes, I had unsuspectingly told Aunt Jin some things about Ximo before, and Aunt Jin was afraid that she would also tell Mother Jin.

Now, she is an enemy of Bai Lingwei of the Yang family, and they will inquire about their past, so Mama Jin will definitely tell them about her previous affairs in the Western Desert.

And in order to tie up with the queen, the Yang family will tell her everything she knows.

Therefore, Queen Chen, who already felt that she was not worthy of her son, now knows that she has been married before, and she is afraid that she will not let herself succeed in marrying Li You if she tries her best.

On the one hand, Queen Chen, who is blocking the marriage, and on the other hand, Li You, who is ready to marry herself and cannot withdraw from the marriage, what is she going to do?
