The Xia clan devoted himself to the development of the Wutong gun in the Qin Palace, and had almost no contact with the outside world, and the information was not very well-informed.

She kept revising the drawings day after day, and kept testing with the craftsmen, and the Udo gun finally had a little eyebrows. She has the capital to invite credit in front of Zhou Shuxuan, and she should be able to survive.

Thinking that the family might still be sad for her, she wanted to ask the maid who had a good relationship with her before to send a letter to the Xia family.

The maid didn't say no, she didn't say yes, she just couldn't say a result. The Xia family asked for a long time before asking the truth, and it has been more than half a month since the Xia family was destroyed.

Xia was devastated, thinking that she would die, which made her family sad. Who would have thought that things would take a big turn, her family was dead, and she was the only one who survived.

Xia sat on the stool, in a trance.

Miao Li received the message, entered the house and preached about it.

"Lord Wang, the Xia family knows the news that the Xia family has been wiped out, and now they are in a very bad mental state."

Zhou Shuxuan put down the booklet in his hand, pressed his temples and asked, "Who told her?" ”

is afraid of affecting her mood, so Zhou Shuxuan didn't let everyone in the house pay attention to it and don't talk to Xia.

Miao Li saw that he was not in good spirits, went over to help him press his head, and replied: "I don't know who said that he leaked his mouth, but such a big thing can't be hidden, does the prince want to take the time to see her?" ”

He has so much to do right now that he can't wait to treat one day as two days. In addition, my spirit has become worse and worse recently, so how can I have spare time to take care of that woman. Anyway, he is not in good spirits now, and he has a few credits for that woman, and he has the heart to kill her, let alone go to see her.

Zhou Shuxuan said resolutely: "Don't go." ”

Miao Li felt that he should go, so he persuaded him, "But the prince Xia has already drawn the rough drawings of the Wutong gun, and has done several tests. Now is the critical time, will not it make Xia feel uncomfortable and deliberately slow down the progress if he doesn't go. ”

Zhou Shuxuan didn't know this, but he just didn't want to see Xia. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a compromise solution.

"You go see her for me, you know what to say, right?"

It is said that Miaoli's status in his heart is not ordinary, and in the past few days, he has watched the people in the house treat Miaoli as if she is treating Miaoli as a princess, and Miaoli is the most suitable to go.

"The slave knows."

Looking at her back as she went out, Zhou Shuxuan put down the booklet in his hand, couldn't read a word, and his headache was even worse. There is an inexplicable depression in my heart, and I always feel that I can't stretch out.

The relationship between him and Miaoli has basically returned to the state it was at the beginning, like nothing happened, a simple master-servant relationship. He was a little satisfied with this state, but he was unwilling to do so, and Zuo Xiang was still waiting for his reply.

Miao Li arrived at Yingfuyuan, which had already been renovated. The Xia family used to live here, and now there is no new hostess in the palace. Considering that it might be easier for her to do things here, Zhou Shuxuan still let her live here.

The current Yingfuyuan is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer as magnificent as it used to be. The newly repaired place is still a little shabby, and the yard is overgrown with weeds.

After walking a few steps inside, Miao Li saw Xia sitting in the lobby, wearing a linen dress, looking ahead with empty eyes, and saw her enter the house.

Before Miao Li could speak, Xia Shi spoke first, and said faintly: "You are here, are you here to see my joke?" I just messed with you at the time, and now I'm getting to this point. ”

Miao Li squatted down to help her pick up the things that fell on the table, and said in a flat tone, "Don't mention the past again." It is a blessing in misfortune that Madame was able to survive, and it should be cherished. ”

Xia snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "In order for me to continue to do things, you just say these beautiful words to comfort me." I'm the only one left in my family, you know what it's like? ”

Miao Li's hand picked up something, she may not know what it feels like otherwise, but no one knows the feeling of being ruined better than her.

"Of course I do, so I have to live it all the more. Otherwise, during the Qingming Festival, there would be no one who swept the grave in front of my father's grave. ”

Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, and only said for a long time: "It turns out that you are also a hard-working person." But I really can't live like you, the people I love, my parents and family are all away from me, what's the point of living? ”

Xia closed her eyes and could see her father, mother, and the person she had always cared about.

Whether she dies or not, Miao Li actually doesn't have much feeling in her heart. But she can't die now, and what Zhou Shuxuan has to do hasn't been done yet.

"Why doesn't Madame want to think about the prince? It was the prince who saved his wife and came out, such a great ......"

Xia's eyebrows were full of contempt, "He didn't save me for me, but for me to help him do things." I don't know how much he hates me in his heart, his legs, and the unclean things on his body, are all done by me. ”

She actually admitted it, not to mention Zhou Shuxuan, Miao Li hated it when she heard it. If it's for someone else, it's fine, but she did these things to a prince, which is equivalent to ruining all the future of a prince.

Miao Li tried her best to make her expression normal, and still persuaded her softly, "The prince doesn't care about the past suspicions, and the lady should cherish it more." ”

"Regardless of the past suspicions, it's just that I still have some use value. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. I can see this, and you don't need to say more. ”

As Xia spoke, he took out a small box from the side of the table, took out the contents and played with it in his hand.

It was a Utong gun that had just been sent by the craftsman, and it had not yet been tested.

"It's been improved." Xia Shi pointed the gun at Miao Li, "Guess, can it succeed this time?" ”

Miao Li stayed in place and did not dare to act rashly. She had heard of the power of this thing, and if she was hit, she would definitely die.

Xia just wanted to scare her, took back the gun and said, "I won't kill you, don't worry, I have something to ask you." ”

Xia put the gun on the table and took out a big red purse from his arms, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. walked over and stuffed it in Miao Li's hand, "This was given to me by the deposed prince that day, I want you to help me return it to him, can you help me bury him next to his grave." ”

Miaoli didn't know how to answer for a while, "This ......"

Xia Shi said in a pleading tone, "I'm not Princess Qin anymore, I can do whatever I want." The girl will be kind enough to help me, who is going to die. ”

"How do you ......" still want to die.

"Don't persuade me, girl, I'm already exhausted, and I can't do anything. I have all the drawings sorted out, and the prince is looking for someone to do it. Xia slowly walked back to the table, and picked up the Wutong gun just now, "The prince saved my life and let me live for more than half a month." There is nothing to repay the prince's great kindness, let me finally help the prince try this thing. ”

Xia picked up the gun and pointed it at his head, and gently pressed it, followed by a loud sound that shook the sky, covering up Miaoli's "don't" cleanly.

Zhou Shuxuan sat in the room, groggy and wanted to doze off. Suddenly, he was scared to the core.

"What sound?!"

Wei Hai hurriedly ran in, "Back to the prince, it's from the Yingfu Academy." ”

Such a voice...... Is it a success? Zhou Shuxuan was very pleasantly surprised for a while.

No, Miao Li should be there now.

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly became extremely flustered, and yelled at Wei Hai, "Quick, quick, quick, push me over." ”

"What's the matter, lord?"

"Miaoli is there."

Wei Hai was also anxious when he heard this, and he was eager to run with a wheelchair. However, this Yingfu House is some distance, and I haven't reached it for a long time.

Zhou Shuxuan clutched the wheelchair tightly, Wei Hai ran very fast, and the wheelchair was a little bumpy. At such a speed, he still felt that it was not enough, and he could not compare to being able to run over it himself.

Why did he send Miao Li over, isn't it good to change someone else? You have to take risks with what you care about most.

Remorseful and anxious all the way, he felt that it was an incomparably long process, but it didn't take much time.

When they arrived, Miao Li had just recovered from her fright. Squatted in front of Xia's corpse and raised his hand to help Xia's eyes close.

She was still alive, and Zhou Shuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Miao Li heard the voices of two people, picked up the gun on the ground and handed it over, "Lord Wang, the Xia family tried the gun for Lord Wang." ”

The wood is already in the boat, and it is irretrievable. Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the gun, then looked at the body of his original wife in theory, and said without a trace of emotion: "Reluctantly give her a coffin." ”

He didn't feel any pain when Xia died, and he didn't feel pity, she deserved it. If she hadn't made this gun, he wouldn't even give him a coffin, just a piece of grass swept out.

Miao Li pinched the purse in her hand, this was Xia's last wish. Zhou Shuxuan had such an attitude, she chose not to say anything.

She stood there for a long time without speaking again, her face was pale, and Zhou Shuxuan asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Miao Li shook her head.

She really didn't have anything to do, she just had a touch in her heart. A woman like Xia's was still thinking about the abolished prince before she died, and it was hard to imagine how deep her affection was for the abolished prince.

What is love between a man and a woman? It can make people so crazy. She couldn't understand how one person was crazy for another.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at Xia's corpse again, and said with a cold face: "If you don't have it, go back, it's not clean here, don't be unlucky." ”

"Yes."

Miao Li answered, followed the wheelchair and walked out. Looking at Zhou Shuxuan, he couldn't help but think, he only has disgust for the Xia family, perfunctory for the Xu family, and love Li Youfu like a father and brother, so what is he to himself?

Probably the things she couldn't understand.

Miao Li felt as if she was too calm, didn't the book say that the girl knew that the man should be red-faced when she liked her?

Why didn't she have a trace of turmoil in her heart, there were so many things she couldn't figure out.
