Xia Bingliang had a holiday at the end of the year, so he wandered around the street with Xiang Gu, but he ran into a little girl in the alley who was held by several strong thugs.

"If you don't pay back the money, sell you to Yihong Mansion to pay off the debt!"

"You let go of me, let go of me!" Xiaocao's thin arms couldn't screw them even hard.

"What are you doing?" Xia Bingliang spoke, tugging at his sleeve and pretending to be calm.

"Lao Tzu advises you not to meddle in your affairs. "The leader's gaze is menacing.

"It is illegal to buy and sell human beings. ”

"Heh, breaking the law, Lao Tzu is breaking the law, get away from Lao Tzu if you know each other!"

"Shizi, street bullies are terrifying. ”

"She's our maid, you can't just take her away. Xia Bingliang tried to reason.

"But she owes us money, and it is only right to repay the debt!"

"How much does he owe you?"

"Five hundred taels of silver. The leader's outstretched heavy palms were covered with scars.

"Five hundred taels!"

"I only borrowed ten taels of silver!"

"Haven't you been without interest for so long? 500 taels today, 1,000 taels tomorrow!"

"You are loan sharks!"

"What's the matter, take it away and go to Yihong Mansion, we still lose money if we sell her!"

Xia Bingliang didn't have so much money, but he couldn't watch Xiaocao being taken away and the woman being sold to a place like Yihong Mansion, and this life would be ruined.

"Don't sell her, I'll help her pay it back!"

The leader looked at Xia Bingliang, who was brightly dressed, and he was a son with a family and a house, and he didn't have as much as five hundred taels of grass after selling Xiaocao, so he needed to consider this transaction carefully.

"Are you really paying her back?"

"I, yes. Xia Bingliang was a little unconfident.

"You're lucky, such a good owner, in this case, before sunset, send the money to the dry slope outside the city, otherwise just wait to go to Yihong Mansion to catch her." ”

Xia Bingliang and Xiang Gu rushed back to the palace, and Xiang Gu really burned his eyebrows.

"Shizi, why do you care about her, why does she owe money and ask the palace to ask you to pay it back for her. ”

"She is a maid in the house, a sister who has no disease, she can't be left alone, if she is sold, her family must be very sad. ”

"But how should we tell the bookkeeper that we want five hundred taels of silver, five hundred taels, even if the royal family is rich, but it is not a valley girl, and if we say that we will squander it, we will squander it. ”

Xia Bingliang had his own plans, he went to the house without remembering it, Xia Huaijin was not there, so he took the token of King Jin's mansion and paid five hundred taels of silver tickets from the account room.

"Shizi, are you really going?"

"It's okay, I'm the prince of King Jin. ”

The sun set on the dry slope, and a loan shark waited for Xia Bingliang at the agreed place, he showed the silver ticket, and the man was ready to take it away.

"One hand over the other hand. ”

"Come with me. The thug looked around and there was no one.

Xia Bingliang followed the thugs around the dry slope until the sun set, and then came to the final destination, a dilapidated house courtyard, faintly lit by candlelight.

Xia Bingliang stood in the courtyard, asked him to bring people out, and the thugs entered the house, and the leader dragged the grass out of the house.

"Boy, do you see it's dark?"

"It was your subordinates who led the way slowly, I brought the money, and you let her go. ”

Xia Bingliang held the silver ticket, took the lead and handed over the grass to his subordinates, and walked opposite Xia Bingliang. The breath precipitated in the dark night, and the moment he rubbed shoulders, Xia Bingliang had the only one chance to slap the silver ticket on the thug's face, and took Xiaocao away while he was unprepared.

"Run!"

"Chase!"

A group of thugs rushed out of the broken stone wall courtyard with sticks in their hands, surrounded by firelight outside, and they were the officials of the imperial capital.

"Lao Tzu was actually calculated by a stinky boy who has not dried up. ”

In the palace, Aunt Wei was busy for a day before she learned that Xia Bingliang had taken five hundred taels from the account room, and reported the matter to Qin Ke as usual.

"Liang'er has never been a messy child, how could he suddenly need so much money?"

According to the housekeeper's report, the prince had to take away the five hundred taels of silver tickets without saying anything, saying that he was the prince of King Jin, and how could the property in the palace not be taken by himself. ”

"How could Liang'er say these words. Qin Ke couldn't believe it.

"In fact, although the prince is the blood of the prince, but after all, he was born of a cheap maid, although the princess carefully taught, it is inevitable that he will ...... in his bones" Aunt Wei smiled and said silently, "My sister has not been born for so many years, and there is only one child in the palace, but now my sister is pregnant with Liujia, and the son born to my sister is the eldest son who is honest and straightforward." ”

"I don't know if I'm a son or a daughter in my womb. Besides, the prince said that he liked his daughter. ”

"Even if the prince says that he likes his daughter, he is just talking, he may hope that Sister Feng will give birth to a daughter, which is good, but the eldest son has been the most important bloodline in every family and every house since ancient times, and the concubine thinks that the prince must also look forward to the princess giving birth to a son, and the son born to the concubine is worthy of being the son of King Jin. ”

"My sister said a lot, Liang'er is the son of King Jin's mansion. Qin Ke said.

"Sister, don't blame my sister for being talkative, brothers may also have different positions and compete with each other, and the prince was a living example back then. What's more, the son of the world is not born to his sister, no one knows what his temperament will become in the future, if he is kind, it is good, but if he is taught by some people to behave nonsense in his eyes, it is not impossible. When the little son in my sister's womb is born, it is a good thing if there is a brother who loves him, but if there is a thorn in the eye, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Aunt Wei speculated too much, Qin Ke didn't think about it so deeply, she felt satisfied with Xia Huaijin's company these days, but she didn't know if she could still treat Xia Bingliang as before when her child was born.

An Ronghua didn't see Xia Bingliang in the room, she went to find Xia Huaijin, and she seemed to see Xiaocao outside the house. An Ronghua went to the door of Xia Huaijin's room, and he was listening to Xia Bingliang explain that he used his token to fight usury without permission.

"Xiao Liang'er is really good, young, brave and strategic!" An Ronghua pushed the door in.

"You know what, such a dangerous thing. ”

"That's right, you can't take any risks in the future. An Ronghua Zhengse said.

"Not anymore. ”

Xia Bingliang left Xia Huaijin's place, An Ronghua only heard part of the truth, and only after asking Xia Huaijin did he know that it was all the same.

"That little grass, no wonder I just saw her hiding outside the Misremembering House. ”

"Liang'er has grown up, and she dares to make decisions about such dangerous things. ”

"It's a good thing that a man is bold and responsible, and isn't Xiao Liang'er perfectly solved this matter?"

"That group of people are entangled in the local loan sharks, cheating money and deceiving people in the imperial capital, although they were hit this time, but the leader ran away, and the king was worried about ......"

"He is wanted, he dares to beat our little Liang'er's idea, he must be put in prison!"

"Liang'er must have been with you for a long time, and he was not so bold in the past. ”

"This is called Justice Ling Ran. ”

Xiaocao followed Xia Bingliang, who did not remember his home, and she always owed him a thank you for today's incident.

"Thank you. Xiaocao said that he would run away.

"No matter what the reason, don't be deceived in the future, if you need money, you can borrow it from the palace!"

Xiaocao felt guilty, even though she was working in the palace, she had always been respectful of the high master in the palace, because with my humility, she hated the noble.

"Shizi, you are a good person. ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, when the imperial capital was celebrating in the same city, Xia Bingliang proposed to go to the observatory to watch the fireworks, but An Ronghua had already decided to spend it with Xia Bingwen in the palace.

"If you don't go, you won't go, I'll go with my father and Concubine Qin. ”

"Your Concubine Qin is heavy now, do you dare to take her around?"

"It's so boring to stay in the house all the time, so that the younger brothers and sisters who are not born can also see the excitement of the imperial capital New Year's Festival. ”

"You love him as an elder brother, and I hope he can miss you after he is born. ”

"That's for sure. Xia Bingliang looked proud.

There are many families on the lookout who have been reunited during the New Year's Festival, Yuhe and Xiaocao are accompanied by Qin Ke, and there are two subordinates to guard the way.

Before the fireworks display began, Xiaocao looked at the people around her, and couldn't help but think of her mother and sister. But in the crowd under the lookout, she saw a fierce look.

"Princess, the slave seems to have seen the usury who ran away that day. Xiaocao hurriedly said.

"Now that the entire imperial capital is wanted by him, how dare he haunt a place with so many people?" Qin Ke disagreed.

But the slave really saw it, and there was murder in his eyes. Xiaocao couldn't help but feel creepy.

"Mother Qin, I found a seat!" Xia Bingliang took Qin Ke to the good seat with no one to disturb, looking at the sky alone.

"Why hasn't the prince come yet?"

"Father may be delayed, otherwise the child will go down and see!"

"Liang'er ......"

In an instant, Qin Ke called Xia Bingliang, and in an instant, tens of thousands of thoughts rushed into his mind, Xiaocao's words, Aunt Wei's words, one after another.

"The eldest son born to Concubine Zheng is worthy of being the son of King Jin's mansion. ”

"Go ahead, be careful. Qin Ke instructed.

"Mother Qin, don't worry!"

Xia Bingliang ran down the stairs of the lookout, smiled at Qin Ke and turned around, his back gradually disappearing into the congested crowd. Qin Ke's eyes flashed with wandering thoughts, and suddenly a firework burst into the sky, and everyone looked up to watch the flowers bloom and fall.

"Mother Qin, Mother Qin, Mother Qin......"

Qin Ke's eyes couldn't contain the splendor of fireworks, and there was no sound of celebration in the same city in his ears, only the call of Xia Bingliang, who went from immaturity to maturity.

"Liang'er!" Qin Ke suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

The fireworks dispersed, and Qin Ke lost himself in a panic.

"Why hasn't Liang'er come back yet?

Xiaocao also followed the crowded crowd, and in front of the stranded, she saw Xia Bingliang being stabbed in the abdomen, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.

"Shizi, help!"

Another wave of fireworks went off, the golden light in the sky was like day, Xia Huaijin came to the lookout from another direction, Qin Ke leaned on his arms and hated himself, but the sound of the sky bursting covered up the painful words.

The palace is forever quiet, An Ronghua is in front of the Sheng'an Palace, standing with Su Liqing.

"The emperor's wedding, amnesty to the world, your offense has also been forgiven. ”

"How can a sinner girl be virtuous?"

"It's really not enough, are you willing to do things for the Queen Mother? Do whatever it takes to protect the emperor and protect the country?"

"The sinner is willing to obey the dispatch and will never give up her death. ”

"Leave the palace and go to Yuzhou. ”

The only one in the world
