After the Yang family was sentenced to Ling Chi, Shui Qingqing could be regarded as avenging her mother, Princess Wuning.

It's just that after experiencing so much suffering, Shui Qingqing thought of her mother's sad and desolate life, and couldn't stop thinking of herself.

And she also knew that the real culprit who murdered her mother had not yet been punished, and she had not been able to find strong evidence to expose Empress Chen's crimes, but it made Shui Qingqing depressed.

Moreover, after today, she and Queen Chen have completely torn their faces and become enemies of life and death. Empress Chen will definitely be more vigilant against her, and it is too difficult and difficult to find evidence from her for twenty years......

She was in pain and depression, and her tears were in her eyes, but she walked to the imperial garden unconsciously.

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and Shui Qingqing's plain moon-white cloak is covered with a layer of snowflakes, and the tips of her hair and eyebrows are also dyed snow-white.

And at some point, the wind and snow on her head were covered.

Shui Qingqing remembered that Xiaoxi didn't bring an umbrella when she went out, so she looked back quite strangely, but what caught her eye was Mei Zijin's deep eyes with concern.

Her heart froze, Shui Qingqing looked at Mei Zijin who suddenly appeared, her expression was stunned, and her eyes flashed with panic.

It turned out that Mei Zijin received the news that Shui Qingqing had woken up last night, and he was relieved, and he wanted to enter the palace to see her at that time, but he couldn't enter the harem after the night because of his identity, so he tried his best to endure it.

After going down this morning, Mei Zijin finished his military affairs and rushed to Liangfeng Tai to see Shui Qingqing as soon as possible, but was told by the palace people that the county lord went to the emperor's imperial study.

Waiting for Mei Zijin to come to the imperial study, because the case between the queen and the Yang family was being interrogated inside, Wu Yong was ordered by Emperor Ming of Jin to guard the door and no longer let anyone in.

Although the queen is hateful, she is the mother of a country after all, representing the face of the royal family, so it is not appropriate to make a big deal out of it until her crime is determined.

Mei Zijin, who couldn't go in, had been anxiously waiting for the news inside outside the imperial study, and she was even more burdened with Shui Qingqing, not knowing if she could deal with Empress Chen and the Yang family.

Fortunately, news soon came that the facts of the Yang family's murder of Princess Wuning were conclusive, and she herself confessed and was sentenced to death by Emperor Jin Ming on the spot.

After getting the news, Mei Zijin breathed a sigh of relief - in this way, it means that Shui Qingqing won this 'battle', helped Princess Wuning avenge her hatred as she wished, and let the Yang family, who had done a lot of evil, receive the punishment he deserved......

Therefore, since Shui Qingqing came out of the imperial study, Mei Zijin has been silently by her side, but after experiencing the confrontation between the imperial study and Queen Chen and others, plus she didn't rest last night, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and her mood was even more messy and sad, so she didn't find that Mei Zijin had been following her.

At that time, Mei Zijin had silently accompanied her from the door of the imperial study to the imperial garden, seeing her painful and sad expression, knowing that she must have remembered that Princess Wuning was sad, so she did not wake her up, and let her walk aimlessly in the imperial garden silently.

He held an umbrella and silently accompanied her all the way, looking at her for a moment, his chaotic heart calmed down at this moment, but only pity for her remained.

However, at this moment, Shui Qingqing, who had been walking forward in a daze, suddenly retracted her feet and turned around.

The moment they looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

Seeing Mei Zijin at this moment, Shui Qingqing's messy mood suddenly left only a blank, and her expression was flustered and helpless, even embarrassed and embarrassed.

Because as soon as she saw him, her mind would involuntarily think of the night of the Falling Moon Temple.

In the same way, Mei Zijin saw her, especially the familiar cool mint fragrance on her nose, and the events of that night poured into his mind like a tide again.

It's just that now, his 'dream man' is no longer an illusory figure, and the woman he loves the most is his dream man......

In the three days that Shui Qingqing was in a coma, Mei Zijin also survived in anxiety.

From the moment he said in public in the lobby of Jing Zhaoyin that he was the man who had a dewy relationship with her that night, he clearly felt Shui Qingqing's alienation from him.

She stiffened to break free of his grip on her hand, repulsing him from helping her up, and even looked at him with resentful eyes......

Mei Zijin doesn't blame her for resenting herself, but she is afraid that she will not forgive herself all the time.

So, knowing that she might still resent him now, he still mustered up the courage to look for her.

Because, he knows her character very well, she seems to be strong and invincible, but in the face of feelings, she is very inferior, once she faces tangled difficulties, she has no courage to continue to move forward, just like when he was in the Hou Mansion before, he showed her his heart, she obviously had him in her heart, and she didn't dare to admit that it was he who forced her to face her feelings with a strong attitude and did not allow her to escape.

And this time, he will do it again, because she is the woman he is destined to be, even if she complains and resents her, he will not let her go again......

The two people who were stunned, their eyes were entangled in the air, neither of them spoke, there was silence all around, and it seemed that the wind and snow had stopped......

Only the tears in the corners of Shui Qingqing's eyes never stopped.

Looking at the tears slowly falling from her face, Mei Zijin was heartbroken, and couldn't help but help her touch it, but she took two steps back to avoid it.

Shui Qingqing, who came back to her senses, looked at Mei Zijin's hand stretched out to her, her little face, which was pale from the cold a moment ago, instantly turned red, and she involuntarily took two steps back to avoid it.

"Qingqing ......"

Seeing him running away from himself, Mei Zijin felt suffocated and couldn't help but call out her name.

Shui Qingqing's body trembled slightly, but the next moment she passed him and turned back to walk the way she came.

As far as the eye could see, Shui Qingqing saw the long footprints of the two people left in the snow behind her, and then she realized that the two were so close, and the two rows of footsteps were closely attached to each other......

With a red face, Shui Qingqing has always been very sensitive to the people around her, but he has been with him for a long time, and she hasn't found out for so long......

Therefore, although she complained a little about him because of the matter of Luoyue Nunnery, it is undeniable that she believes in him abnormally in her heart, and she will not really reject his approach......

The more she thought about it, the more flustered and embarrassed Shui Qingqing became, her steps quickened, and she walked forward as if she was fleeing.

On snowy days, the road surface is already slippery, and the paths of the Imperial Garden are mostly paved with cobblestones, making it easier to slip.

And Shui Qingqing's right hand was tied with a bandage and couldn't be played, her body balance was unstable, and she was walking in a hurry, so before she could take a few steps, her feet slipped, and her body fell to the side uncontrollably.

And the place where she fell was a pool of water.

"Be careful......

Before Mei Zijin's voice fell, the person had already jumped over, seeing that her body had fallen into the pool and could not be stopped, he reacted quickly and jumped into the cold pool, and reached out to catch her before Shui Qingqing fell into the water.

The pool in winter, the water is not too deep, and Mei Zijin is tall, the water has just reached his thighs, but it is also the cold of frozen bones.

didn't have time to exclaim Shui Qingqing, and suddenly fell into Mei Zijin's arms, but the whole person was stunned, looking at Mei Zijin who was splashing with a splash, and couldn't believe that he jumped into the water before he fell into the water.

Obviously, the pool water was frozen and cold, but Mei Zijin was warm in her heart, and hugged Shui Qingqing to the shore without saying a word.

The noise here alarmed the inner supervisors on duty in the imperial garden, and they ran over and saw Mei Zijin wading ashore from the pool with Shui Qingqing in his wet arms, and wanted to help take Shui Qingqing in his hand, but was avoided by Mei Zijin, and said, "No need, you can retreat."

After that, he hugged Shui Qingqing and walked towards the cool breeze platform without squinting.

Along the way, Mei Zijin ignored the scrutiny of the palace people around her, and kept hugging Shui Qingqing tightly, not allowing her to struggle, and refusing to put her down.

Actually, Shui Qingqing didn't fall there, there was no need for him to hold it like this, not to mention that this was still in the palace, it was too blatant, so after getting out of the pool, Shui Qingqing struggled down, but Mei Zijin was indifferent, but she struggled for a point, and he hugged her tightly.

In this way, Mei Zijin hugged Shui Qingqing all the way and went to the cool breeze platform. Just like three days ago, he carried her out of the main courtyard of Baifu to send her to the sedan chair, which caused an uproar in the palace.

The intimate attitude of the two, coupled with the rumors that there was a child between the two, attracted countless palace people in the harem to come and watch.

Listening to the whispers of the palace people, Shui Qingqing's thick skin was so red that it was about to drip blood, she picked up her left hand, pounded her fist on his chest, and scolded with a red face: "Let me go!"

But Mei Zijin was willing to put it there.

He glanced down at her and said lightly: "The road is too slippery, do you want Ben Hou to save you again?"

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's fist froze in mid-air, looking up at his cold face in surprise, he couldn't believe that he could treat himself so calmly after knowing what happened that night.

That night, he bullied her like that, made her so miserable, and worked hard to give birth to a son for him, shouldn't he feel guilty and repent, and even kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?

How could he be so calm?!

Thinking of this, the blush on Shui Qingqing's face faded, and she said angrily: "If you don't follow me, I won't fall if the road is slippery." Hurry up and let me down......"

Shui Qingqing said as she struggled again, but the next moment, her body trembled suddenly, and she didn't dare to move anymore.

Mei Zijin's hand was placed on her sensitive waist, and just a slight pinch made the person in her arms obediently quiet, and even made Shui Qingqing's just calm face burn red again.

"You...... You are so shameless......"

The soft waist was pinched by him, even through the winter clothes, it still caused her whole body to tremble, just like on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve a year ago, she ate Mother Jin's sesame cake allergy, he took her out of the house to find Lu Lin to save her life, and the hand he put on her waist was like now, making her ashamed and confused.

Hearing her scolding, Mei Zijin hooked her lips and laughed silently - as long as she was willing to talk to him, even if she scolded him, he would be happy......

After returning to the cool breeze platform, Mei Zijin kept carrying Shui Qingqing into her bedroom before putting it down.

Xiaoxi was supported by Mei Zijin at the door of the imperial study, and was waiting for the news of the reconciliation between the two while cleaning up the house in the dormitory, but the next moment, he saw Mei Zijin coming back with a red face on his lower body.

Xiaoxi didn't know what was going on, but when she saw Shui Qingqing being carried back, she thought that something had happened to her again, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and looked worriedly: "What's wrong with Miss?" But what happened? ”

Shui Qingqing sat on the warm couch with a blushing face, turned her back to Mei Zijin, and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Listening to what she was going to say, he looked her up and down carefully, and saw that she was intact, and Xiaoxi really put her mind at ease.

When he turned around and saw Mei Zijin's lower body standing there wet, and the shoes and socks were leaching with water, Xiaoxi worried: "Master Hou's body is wet, the slave will take you to the side hall to change clothes......"

Shui Qingqing interrupted Xiaoxi's words angrily, and said coldly to Mei Zijin: "This is the inner palace, and the Hou Ye is a foreign minister, so you can change your clothes here casually - if the Hou Ye doesn't want to be sick with the cold, hurry up and go back to the Hou Mansion out of the palace."

Hearing Shui Qingqing's words, Mei Zijin smiled disapprovingly, and said, "The county lord doesn't know, this cool breeze platform is not as good as the harem." Emperor Longen, except for not being able to stay overnight here, Ben Hou can come at any time, and he can do anything here, there are no taboos! ”

After that, Shui Qingqing couldn't refute it, Mei Zijin said to Xiaoxi: "You ask someone to prepare a hot bath for me, and then go to the outer ward Sanshi, and ask him to bring clean clothes for Ben Hou - another two bowls of ginger soup, one bowl for me and her."

Seeing that Mei Zijin looked unrelenting and was about to entangle with her own lady, Xiaoxi was secretly happy, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

As soon as Xiaoxi left, Shui Qingqing turned back to Mei Zijin angrily and said, "What does Master Hou want to make trouble?" Don't you think we're ashamed? ”

Mei Zijin naturally understood that she was talking about 'planting seeds and giving birth' that night in Luoyue Nunnery, and she couldn't help but suffocate in her heart.

But on his face, his cold face was calm, and he said: "I can't help but be with you about that night...... And since it has happened, it is useless to regret it. Instead, we have to be glad that the person we met that night was the other person......"

"And Shui Qingqing, whom I know, is a woman who is willing to give birth to a child for the sake of her children, regardless of the eyes of the world, and is willing to give everything for the sake of her children. can be a Chongxi lady regardless of the world's eyes, and she is not afraid to kill the princess's pet...... At that time, you never cared about other people's eyes. Now, we have gone through hardships to find each other and reunite with Yun'er's family, why have you begun to become timid again, but you have to care about other people's eyes? ”

Mei Zijin's righteous and stern words, even those with reprimands, made Shui Qingqing's eyes red.

She originally thought that after learning that she was the man that night, she knew that she was uncomfortable and couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart for a while, and he would soothe her with kind words and let her let go of the mustard in her heart. Who knows, he didn't have half a good word, but blamed himself.

Although what he said was reasonable, for Shui Qingqing, who was full of grievances and embarrassment, he felt all kinds of bad feelings......

Gritting his teeth to suppress the tears falling, Shui Qingqing said coldly: "Master Hou, let's go, I want to be alone for a while......"

Hearing Shui Qingqing's words, Mei Zijin pursed her lips and wanted to say something more, but finally turned around and went to the side hall to bathe and change clothes, leaving Shui Qingqing sitting alone with red eyes.

Coming out of Shui Qingqing's bedroom, thinking of what she had just said to her ruthlessly, Mei Zijin's heart was suffocated......

Half an hour passed, and Xiao Xi led the palace people in with a tray, and there was a bowl of steaming ginger soup in the tray.

Xiaoxi put the ginger soup in front of Shui Qingqing and said, "Miss just caught the cold in the imperial garden, hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

Shui Qingqing didn't go to drink ginger soup, but frowned and asked softly, "What about him?"

Xiaoxi said: "Hou Ye's slave and maid have sent someone to send it over, Hou Ye seems to be really cold, drank ginger soup and fell asleep on the couch in the side hall, before going to bed has been telling the slave maid, saying that Miss has never liked to eat ginger, but you must be advised to drink the ginger soup well, so as not to catch the cold."

Xiaoxi's words immediately evoked the best memories in Shui Qingqing's heart.

The best memory in Shui Qingqing's heart is naturally the happy days when she took Yun'er and Mei Zijin to live at the border.

When she was at the border before, Shui Qingqing had to pick out the ginger in the bowl every time she ate vegetables, and after Mei Zijin saw it, she naturally knew that she didn't like to eat ginger. Later, he instructed the cook to use ginger as little as possible when cooking, and if he really wanted to use ginger dishes, he would also help her carefully pick them out before she ate them.

Therefore, he was afraid that she would not drink ginger soup, so he repeatedly told Xiaoxi to persuade her to drink it......

A bowl of ginger soup evoked the best memories of the past, Shui Qingqing's solemn face couldn't help but soften, and her heart became unusually soft.

Once the heart softens, the complaints against him in my heart will disappear, and all that remains is the love for him.

Moreover, after he left, Shui Qingqing thought carefully about what Mei Zijin said in her heart for a long time, but she also felt that she gritted her teeth and survived such a hard and hopeless life before, and never cared about the strange eyes of others.

Now that everything is clear, why is she hypocritical?!

Thinking of this, Shui Qingqing's entanglement in her heart was completely let go. Hearing Xiaoxi say that he was cold, he couldn't help but get anxious, and he couldn't care about the unpleasant smell of ginger soup, so he hurriedly drank it in one gulp, got up and came to the side hall to see Mei Zijin.

Mei Zijin didn't suffer from the cold, but tired.

Shui Qingqing fell asleep for three days, but he didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights.

After the events of that day passed, Shui Qingqing was taken back to the palace by Emperor Jin Ming to take care of her, and he has always been by her side.

And after leaving the palace at night and returning home, seeing the lovely Yun'er, when he thought that he was really his own flesh and blood, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he was reluctant to look at him all night, from head to toe, from hair to feet, Mei Zijin liked it more and more, and the more he looked at it, the more reluctant he was to close his eyes.

In this way, his mother was reluctant to close her eyes when she looked at the child during the day, and she was also reluctant to sleep when she went back at night to see Yun'er, so Mei Zijin guarded the mother and her mother for three days and three nights without rest.

Now that Shui Qingqing has woken up, and he has nothing to do, and he has scolded him, Mei Zijin put down the big stone in his heart, and after taking a hot bath, he really couldn't help but lean on the couch and close his eyes to rest......

After Shui Qingqing entered, she came to the couch, looked at his tired face, and the obvious crow blue color in her eyes, and became more and more heartbroken, and ordered the palace people to come forward to help him lie down, and asked Xiaoxi to bring him a brocade quilt.

She reached out and probed her forehead, but she didn't notice any symptoms of fever before she was relieved.

After covering him with the quilt with her own hands, Shui Qingqing sighed heavily, turned around and was about to leave, but her hand was grabbed.

Looking back, Mei Zijin, who was obviously sleeping soundly, held her hand and didn't let go, half-awake, muttering in a hoarse voice: "Don't be angry with me." I couldn't stand you that night...... You worked hard to help me give birth to a son, but I don't know at all, I owe you too much, I will pay you for my life......"

"I will go and ask the emperor to cancel my marriage with Leyi, I don't want anyone else, I just want you and Yun'er...... For Yun'er's sake, don't be angry with me again, and don't be separated from me...... Yun'er can't live without a mother, and she doesn't have a father, our family of three is fine, and we don't want to be separated again...... Please...... Please...... It's all my fault......"

Dingguohou, who holds the power of the Great Jin Dynasty soldiers and horses, is the undefeated god of war who kills all directions on the battlefield and makes the enemy fearful, but at this time, he is holding Shui Qingqing's hand like a child and is unwilling to let go, begging for her forgiveness over and over again, not to mention the awe-inspiring solemnity when he was righteous and stern to her before, and his momentum has completely withered and he admits his mistakes and begs for mercy.

In this way, it made Shui Qingqing cry and laugh.

Even Xiao Xi on the side couldn't help laughing, and said: "Master Hou was very strong before, and he didn't admit anything wrong to Miss, I was quite angry with Miss at the time, but I didn't expect it, I was defeated in a blink of an eye......"

And after Mei Zijin said this, he seemed to finally say the words that he was holding back in his heart, and the whole person relaxed, but fell into a sweet sleep.

Shui Qingqing let go of his hand, covered him with the quilt, and then asked the palace people to add two more braziers to the side hall, and told the palace people not to disturb him and let him sleep well......

With Xiaoxi carefully closing the door and withdrawing, Shui Qingqing's mood improved a lot, and the incident of the night in Luoyue Nunnery was completely put down by her.

Xiaoxi looked at the corners of her raised mouth, knowing that her heart was knotted, and she was happy for her, and couldn't help but say: "Since the unhappiness in Miss's heart has been put down, it is better to go back to the Hou Mansion with the Hou Ye - in this way, you can be with the little prince Hou Ye every day, and your family of three can be reunited as soon as possible."

Shui Qingqing didn't want to see Yun'er earlier, but she couldn't leave the harem at this time, and she still had very important things to do.

She asked Xiaoxi, "Did Sheng Yu come to you again?"

Xiaoxi shook her head and said in a low voice, "No."

Shui Qingqing asked again: "You are guarding the door of the imperial study with Red Sleeves today, what is unusual about her expression?"

Xiaoxi frowned and recalled: "Her expression seems normal, but her mood seems to be very anxious, and she seems to be preoccupied, even when the emperor slapped the emperor before, I was startled when I heard the slap and the queen's cry outside, but she didn't seem to hear it, and she was in a daze......"

Hearing Xiaoxi's words, Shui Qingqing smiled with satisfaction.

The next moment, she said in a deep voice, "It's been a long time since I've seen Aunt Pian." Three days after Yang's execution, I will ask the order to go out of the palace to see her executed. When the time comes, we will find a way to quietly bring Aunt Lian into the palace—"

Xiao Xi was puzzled: "Miss, the queen has been grounded because of the secret letter, she will definitely hold a grudge, and maybe she will retaliate against us, isn't it dangerous for you to take Aunt Pian into the palace at this time?" What's more, didn't Miss hide the news of Aunt Pian's life and let her aunt live in seclusion? ”

Her eyes flashed cold, and Shui Qingqing said coldly: "Because, I want Aunt Lian to help us let Red Sleeves speak, and let her tell the truth about the fire in Lanxin Courtyard that year!"
