She handed me a small letter box and said, "The carrier pigeon just brought the news, say ......"

She stopped talking, her face was embarrassed, and I knew that she couldn't say anything, so I hurriedly opened the letterbox.

There were only a few short sentences on the letter: "The head of the cabinet has died, and the civil war has begun, so I will quickly return to the succession and preside over the big and small affairs."

The Pavilion Master is gone! ”

No, it can't be!

The letter in my hand landed, and my head buzzed and went blank.

I couldn't get any sound in my ears, and I could only feel my heartbeat getting more and more flustered.

Chongzi is the heart of the Night Pavilion, my only support, what will I do if she dies.

The staggering body touched the edge of the table, and the brush and inkstone fell down one after another, and the ink stained the skirt.

I had to hold the corner of the table with my hands to keep myself from falling.

The font is Lan Zhi's font, and the seal is also unique to the Dark Night Pavilion, and the most important thing is that the cinnabar ink made of blood spirit fruit is also unique to the Dark Night Pavilion, and I can't fault any of them.

A mouthful of blood swelled up, and I swallowed it several times before I suppressed it.

"You must not be rash, the truth of the news is not visible, this matter must be considered in the long run." Xia Xiying helped me sit back on the soft couch, and her voice was full of worry.

I took a deep breath and didn't feel any better. "I know, but don't worry, what's going on with what I asked you to check?"

"Half of all the tea houses, money houses, restaurants, etc., under the Dark Night Pavilion, are ...... It's all closed...... Closed the ...... without warning"

"Then this news is already sixty percent true, and I have to go back." I controlled my slightly trembling voice and tried to look sane and calm.

But the trembling fingers still betrayed me, Xia Xiying grabbed my hand and said, "You can't panic, now is the time to make a decision, there is a little mistake, and all efforts are in vain." ”

I nodded absentmindedly, but I couldn't think of a solution.

She went outside and dismissed all the palace people.

Closing the door and closing the window, she pulled me to the inner room before she spoke: "The day after tomorrow is the ceremony, the meaning of the pavilion, is it to let you give up all your efforts in the palace and leave?" ”

My mind is full of the shadow of Aunt Chongzi, whether she is using me or sincere, I have feelings for her, I treat her as a relative, and I am more chilled than anyone else when such bad news comes out.

"If something really happens to my aunt, let alone the palace, even if I want my life, I will go back."

The words were calm and contained all my determination.

She sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then leave, the most rational way to do the death of the old pavilion master is to take the position of pavilion master before the prince makes a move...... Otherwise......"

Otherwise, I'll be the next one to die.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips, for this younger brother of mine, his heart is more ruthless than mine.

If something really happened to my aunt, but I lost contact with the cabinet for so many days, then he was the only one who started it.

"I'm not trying to compete with him for the position of Pavilion Master."

Xia Xiying stopped what she was doing and looked up at me in surprise.

"The reason why I want to go back is just for Aunt Chongzi, if she is okay, even if all my efforts are burned, it can be regarded as the best explanation for me. But ......" paused, and felt a choked voice. "If everything is true as the letter says, I will see her too. For me, she is my savior, giving me a second chance to be born again, she is my relative, how can I bear it? ”

Xia Xiying shook her head, as if she was sorry and helpless. "Do you know what your biggest weakness is? It's just too emotional, I thought you would be as cold as a stone, in fact, in my opinion, everything you show on the surface is like this. But I didn't expect that in my heart, you are not cold-blooded. ”

She stood up, looked at me, and said, "What is good is your kindness, and what you say is not good, you are weak." Once others know your weaknesses, you have no chance of turning over. ”

These words are so familiar, and Shadow has said them to me before.

Beiyu Jinchen said that only ruthless and heartless people are the final winners, but he didn't do it either, he had Luo Yu in his heart, just like I ......

Stop the thought and take a deep breath.

"I can't go before the ceremony. This juncture is on the bone. There are thousands of pairs of eyes staring, and they can't wait for me to poke out some basket immediately, if I get caught, it doesn't matter, but what I'm most afraid of is that it will affect the Dark Night Pavilion. ”

She thought for a while and said, "You're right, so what are you going to do?"

"Although I can't leave before the ceremony, I must go back to the Night Pavilion, and the best time is on the day of the ceremony."

"On the day?"

"Yes, I have to leave a way for myself in the palace. Only after the ceremony is completed, can the title of concubine be truly implemented on my head. ”

"Now that you have an idea, I'll do it."

"Xiying, you come back to the pavilion with me, I need your help."

She was surprised, and after a long time, she nodded solemnly.

It is deeper and heavier, and the cold night is like water.

Little by little, the new moon was half-hidden in dark blue clouds.

I leaned against the window and let the cool breeze blow.

When I first arrived in the pavilion, I was a crippled man, with crippled hands and a ruined face.

No one wants to be close to me, not even Xin Li, my younger brother, who is still young, and they don't want to call me sister.

Only Chongzi stayed by my side day and night, telling me stories in a hoarse and difficult voice when my high fever persisted, feeding me medicine, and helping me change my clothes.

When I was about to faint in pain, she was like a mother, and she could only comfort me over and over again, although I couldn't see her face under the black veil, but her tears were left on my forehead.

I almost thought that she was going to take the place of her dead mother, but she was the pavilion master after all, and everything she did was for Liangxi, for the Dark Night Pavilion, not for me.

I prayed to God to bless her and that it was all just a misunderstanding.

Let me pay whatever it takes......

I only hope that she, still alive, can still call me in a difficult voice - Jin'er.

(Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, although it was said that it was a rotation break before, but I may still update, or write some small theater benefits for everyone~)
