At night, the cool breeze blows and the courtyard is deep.

Pei Yao cautiously pushed open the palace door, poked her head in to confirm that it was okay before slowly entering the door, and then closed the door as carefully as possible.

"Pei Yao." There was a thin voice behind him, Pei Yao closed the door for a moment, and gritted her teeth helplessly, but she was still found in the end.

"The Queen Mother." Pei Yao turned around and lowered her head.

Bo Yan stood under the eaves and watched Pei Yao's every move from afar, shaking his head helplessly.

In the Changning Palace

Bo Yan sat on top and said coldly: "Say, what are you doing sneakily at such a late hour." ”

Pei Yao said timidly: "It's just going out for a walk, and I didn't do anything." ”

Bo Yan frowned: "You dare to lie, didn't you specially send the emperor to accompany me for an afternoon just to create time for you, don't you tell the truth!" ”

"Where can the slave and maid invite the emperor, it is the emperor's filial piety."

"Xue Yan has been worried about political affairs for the past two days, not eating and sleeping well, plus I don't dare to see me in my heart, so I didn't come to Changning Palace easily, but I stayed here all afternoon today, why don't I leave! You're still hiding it from me! Where the hell have you been! ”

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows helplessly, sighed embarrassedly, and seemed to be unable to hide it: "Slave maid...... Went to Elan Xuan. ”

Bo Yan's heart jumped, as expected, but his face was still calm: "Where are you going to do something." ”

"The slave maid is thinking that the son of Baili gets along very well with the mother, and whether there is any way to see the current scene."

Bo Yan was shocked: "You told him what Yan Rong said!" ”

"This slave naturally doesn't dare! Don't dare to understand the name of the mother! Pei Yao hurriedly leaned over and kowtowed: "The slave just said a little about what the Yan family did, thinking that after all, this is the Yan family's private decision regardless of the Western Jin Dynasty, see what they can do." ”

Bo Yan frowned: "They just gather for profit, and when they disperse, they disperse, how can they be in this troubled water." ”

Pei Yao pouted: "What Niangniang said is that the son of Baili took the slave and maid to pull around, and he didn't talk about business at all!" Thanks to the slave and maid, he still looked up to him, and he was really a rich and noble child, and I don't know if he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand! ”

"He stayed in Zhao State just to hide from leisure, why should you embarrass him." Bo Rouge lowered his eyes.

"If the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty is here, I don't know what the situation is, whether he will sit idly by like him." Pei Yao muttered.

Bo Yan's heart skipped a beat, and then smiled bitterly, what are you thinking, even if there is any change in Jin'an, the current situation is most suitable for the Western Jin Dynasty to watch the fire from the other side, who will take the initiative to set himself on fire: "The meaning of Baili should be the meaning of Jin'an, what kind of sentiment is it in front of the overall situation, he can save you and me once, and he will not be able to save it twice." ”

Pei Yao slowly lowered her head.

"Don't go to him again, show weakness in vain." Bo Yan said lightly.

Pei Yao nodded.

At this point, there was a sudden anxious knock on the door outside, accompanied by a call: "Queen Mother! ”

"Why are you so flustered?" Bo Rouge looked up and followed the prestige.

A little eunuch pushed the door in and knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Queen Mother, something happened." ”

Bo Yan's heart was congested for a while, and he helplessly held his forehead: "Something happened again." ”

"Lord Liu...... Dead ......"

"What did you say!" Bo Yan raised his eyes in shock, and Pei Yao's eyes were also full of astonishment, looking incredulous.

……

Liu Zhao died, and his body was found in the back mountain, the cause of death was falling off a cliff, and Yan Dashao's body was also found, and the cause of death was the same.

According to eyewitnesses, Yan Dashao and Liu Zhao got together in the back mountain, and there was a quarrel, arguing about the problems of the Bo and Yan families, and then they fought without saying a word, and finally one accidentally fell off the cliff, which caused such a tragedy.

Bo Yan wanted to go to Dali Temple to check the corpse in person, but she was stopped by a group of palace people and was not allowed to go for fear of frightening her, but Bo Yan was very determined that he must see Liu Zhao's corpse with his own eyes.

In the middle of the night, Bo Yan hurried out of the palace and came to Dali Temple, because the body was found a little late, and it had been very badly gnawed by wild beasts in the mountains, but his appearance could be vaguely recognized.

The bloody face and mutilated body, even if Bo Yan only looked at it vaguely, he couldn't help but feel a heartache and gag, and hurriedly came to the outer room, smelling the bloody breath in his nose, and almost couldn't breathe.

Looking at Pei Yao again, she was already stunned the moment she saw Liu Zhao's corpse, trembling her hands and looking through the incomplete clothes to confirm the identity of the person in front of her, she still couldn't believe it, she sat on the ground with tears, tears rained down, choked for a moment and fainted.

Bo Yan held on to the porch and forcibly ordered someone to stay with the germ to take care of it, but he couldn't even walk half a step, so he could only look at Liu Zhao's corpse not far away in a daze, and his mind kept flashing all kinds of things about getting along with Liu Zhao.

The first person to teach himself to read and write his name since he was a child was Liu Zhao, when he was only seven years old, he was handsome and simple: "Little cousin, the word 'rouge' is comparable to a red face, and my cousin must be a beauty when she grows up!" ”

I still remember the panicked look in his eyes when he first showed his heart to himself and the sad smile after being rejected: "I know the result, but I still want to say it, it's okay, you are always my cousin, I will protect you." ”

Bo Yan closed his eyes, but the tears still couldn't stop falling, yes, he was protecting himself in his own way, he stopped remembering himself all the time for so many years, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, although he didn't know how to be flexible, but he held a sincere heart in front of him, but he just dodged, refused, and didn't respond to him even half a point...... In both lives, he lost his life for himself, and the person who spoke to him yesterday has now become such a cold and mutilated corpse.

Bo Yan covered his lips, his heart was like a knife, and he slowly sat on the ground holding on to the door frame.

The morgue was already in a mess, no one noticed the thin rouge hidden in the corner, the Liu family and the Yan family had already arrived, Mrs. Liu saw the corpse and immediately lost seven souls, her hands trembled and she didn't dare to touch Liu Zhao's body, whimpering and speechless, and then seeing Mrs. Yan after grief, she stepped forward to pull Mrs. Liu, and kept calling Mrs. Liu to pay for her life, and the subordinates protected the body while separating Mrs. Yan from Mrs. Liu, with an anxious face.

Bo Yan wanted to see Mrs. Liu, but he felt shameless, Liu Zhao said to Pei Yao before he left yesterday that he would hand over the matter to him, why didn't he react at that time! He must have gone to find Yan Qishao! After listening to those words, how could he sit idly by, and why didn't he think that if he said a few words to him, she would not feel so guilty in her heart...... Or maybe he didn't see him at all yesterday, so he wouldn't have met Yan Qishao, and things would be ......

Bo Yan was full of self-blame, blaming himself, and now he has the face to meet Mrs. Liu......

"The Queen Mother has to take care of herself." Yan Qishao's voice sounded behind him.

Bo Yan's body was shocked, and he turned his head with a face full of resentment and stared at Yan Qishao, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he suddenly got up and rushed towards Yan Qishao and said hoarsely: "It's you!" ”

Yan Qishao leisurely raised his hand to hold Bo Yan, and gently brought Bo Yan into the shadow of the corner, ensuring that others would not see the two of them.

In the dark, Bo Yan's eyes were full of tears, staring at Yan Qishao, Yan Qishao's eyes were also very bright, mixed with a little gloomy.

"It's you!" Bo Yan affirmed, what coincidence, what accident, it is simply impossible! It is impossible for Liu Zhao to have a quarrel with Yan Dashao, he must have gone to confront Yan Qishao after listening to Yan Qishao's words, Yan Rong took this opportunity to kill Liu Zhao, and got rid of Yan Dashao, and by the way, provoked the dispute between the Liu family and the Yan family, and completely dragged the Liu family into the battle, killing several birds with one stone, this must be Yan Rong's plan!

Yan Qishao glanced at Bo Yan faintly, and then turned his gaze not far away and smiled coldly at Mrs. Yan, who was holding Mrs. Liu's spurt: "It's really funny that he is so sad about such a son with a wine bag and rice bag." ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Bo Yan: "The Queen Mother must not be so excited, her body is important, and you can't talk nonsense without evidence." ”

"Human life is like a mustard in your eyes," Bo Yan sneered: "You are now powerful, I heard that Master Yan has been sick in bed recently, and the affairs of the government and the central government are all up to you. ”

Yan Qishao raised his eyebrows slightly, clenched Bo Yan's struggling hands again, and sighed softly: "The Queen Mother is angry, Liu Gongzi brought a dagger with him when he asked the lower officials to meet him. ”

"Yan Dashao fell off the cliff also for your own protection? You clearly set up this bureau, and you can get rid of the person you don't like in one fell swoop, heh, Yan Rong, this palace has never seen that you have such a vicious heart, parents, brothers, and even former friends, but who can you let go? ”

"Yes." Yan Qishao squinted at Bo Yan: "You." ”

Bo Yan sneered and smiled, disdainfully: "Does Yan Qishao want this palace to be grateful to Dade?" ”

Yan Qishao smiled: "Niangniang is very tired of me." ”

"Tired?" Bo Yan sneered and gritted his teeth: "I can't talk about boredom, it's just that this palace has never been so eager to kill a person as soon as possible!" ”

Yan Qishao was still smiling: "Then I have to honor to be the exception in this mother's heart." ”

"You're crazy!" Bo Yanqiang struggled to break free from Yan Qishao's shackles: "For your own selfish desires, you can actually kill people!" "This is indeed Bo Yan's unexpected, after seeing Changning Palace that day, he originally thought that everything he saw that day was the limit, but he didn't expect Yan Qishao to be so ruthless, he relied on the memory of the previous life to make a judgment, but he forgot that people's hearts are fickle, and the scene in this life is still very changeable, and Yan Qishao is no longer the person who can only plan the political situation for the Yan family in the previous life, now he wants to focus on his own interests, and naturally does everything, it is his own negligence.
