Chapter Ninety-Three: Before the Storm

East Palace

In the courtyard, there was a burst of babbling voices, Shen Rujun was teaching Xiao Huan to read...

"Follow the mother's thoughts, at the beginning of man, nature is good"

"At the beginning of man, nature is good...

Xiao Qingyue was carrying a food box, and she heard the sound in the courtyard from a distance, she stood in one place and watched quietly, her heart was sour, only after that, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to step into this East Palace again.

At this time, Xiao Tong happened to come back from outside, and saw the person standing at the gate of the courtyard standing still, walked over quietly, followed her line of sight, and then teased.

"Do you want to be your own child?"

Xiao Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person next to her who appeared at some point, "Elder Brother Huang"

"Well, what are you doing standing here, why don't you go in"

Looking at this familiar man, still looking at her with doting eyes, the tip of Xiao Qingyue's nose suddenly soured, and she hurriedly pretended to be giggling and walked in first. No matter what tomorrow will be, today, Xiao Tong is still the brother who loves her the most, and Xiao Huan is still her favorite nephew...

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Huan ran out of the pavilion and shouted, "Aunt Yue... ”

This aunt's call made the person's heart sour, Xiao Youyu always said that she met her and Liu Yin, which was a great blessing in her life. But now, Xiao Qingyue feels that meeting them is the blessing she Xiao Qingyue cultivated in her previous life. All of this is still a stolen blessing after all, she wants to pay it back, she should pay it back...

Xiao Tong and Shen Rujun looked at the people who were a little strange today, at this time, Xiao Qingyue was holding Xiao Huan, and her face was buried in Xiao Huan's arms.

Shen Rujun walked over and called softly, "Qingyue... ”

Hearing the voice, Xiao Qingyue realized her gaffe, swallowed her choked throat hard, and suppressed the urge to cry. picked up Xiao Huan, pretending to be struggling and said, "Oh, I can't even hold Huan'er"

Shen Rujun chuckled, "The child grows up fast, I can't hold him anymore."

At this time, Xiao Huan, who was being held, opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Yue, you haven't come to see Huan'er for a long time."

pinched his nose lightly, and said dotingly, "If you want to see your aunt, you can come to Feixia Hall to find your aunt."

Speaking of this, the little boy's mouth pursed even higher, and he said dissatisfied, "Huan'er went to find her aunt before, but her aunt was not there... ”

Xiao Qingyue remembered that a few days ago, the guards of Feixia Hall said that Xiao Huan had come to Feixia Hall to look for her, and when she saw that she was not there, she went back again, and she forgot about it.

Hurriedly apologized, "It's my aunt who is not good, in this way, you come to Feixia Hall tomorrow, is it okay for my aunt to fly a kite with you" Tomorrow night, she will prepare to send forsythia and pothos out of the palace, and then it is estimated that there will be no chance to play with him in the future.

As soon as Xiao Huan heard that he was going to fly a kite, he happily agreed.

The East Palace is still the original East Palace, because of Xiao Qingyue's arrival, there are laughter and laughter everywhere. But Xiao Qingyue is no longer the original Xiao Qingyue...

Xiao Qingyue spent a warm afternoon here, and before returning to the Feixia Palace, she went to the Frost Flower Hall again. Yesterday, Su Xing had told her the truth about everything back then, but when she asked if Liu Yin's death was also related to this, Su Xing chose to remain silent...

The plum blossoms outside the frost flower hall are blooming again. . .

Xiao Qingyue looked at those budding plum blossoms, as delicate and full of vitality as newborn babies. Su Xing said that Youyu's biological mother died in March, under the plum blossom tree here. Perhaps, there is some kind of connection in life, she and Youyu come here every year to pick flowers, and the plum trees here are basically taken care of by her before, no wonder Liu Yin loves the plum blossoms here, she is remembering the old people. After Youyu woke up drunk yesterday, it seemed that he was still the same as usual, and he didn't say a word about the words he said after drinking, as if nothing had happened. Although her face was still smiling softly, her eyes were dark. Xiao Qingyue knew that everything couldn't go back...

Dali Temple

Qin Shu, the commander of the forbidden army, has been locked up in prison since he was arrested, and no matter how the people in Dali Temple interrogated, he carried the matter of pretending to be a ghost together. Xiao Nanfeng sent someone to Dali Temple to say hello earlier, and he was not allowed to torture Qin Shu again, so he was spared the pain of flesh and skin in the past two days. Qin Shu couldn't help but wonder how the Sixth Prince's Lord could come and meddle in his affairs. At this time, a man came to the prison...

Xiao Ji came to visit the prison and learned from the officials of Dali Temple that Qin Shu would be sentenced in a few days, and how to deal with it would have to wait for the document issued by Xiao Yan himself.

At this time, Xiao Ji's subordinates had already sent out all the prison guards.

Qin Shu respectfully hugged his fists and shook his fists at the comer, "Four Highnesses"

"General Qin suffered" Seeing that the clothes on his body had been torn in some places, and the wounds inside could be seen, he thought that he had been tortured.

Qin Shu didn't know Xiao Jilai's purpose, so he admitted, "It's a mistake to make a mistake in a humble position, and it is also appropriate to suffer a little."

Xiao Ji paused and continued, "General Qin, Aunt Ding has already told me about you."

Now that they all knew, Qin Shu didn't pretend to be with him anymore, "What are the orders of the Fourth Highness?" ”

Xiao Ji didn't plan to go around the bend with him, and said directly, "The matter of Feixia Palace, please keep the general tight-lipped" Now as long as Qin Shu takes responsibility for everything, the secret behind Feixia Hall can be put aside for the time being.

Qin Shu didn't know about the Feixia Palace, thinking that Xiao Ji was just worried that he would confess Ding Rou, "Fourth Highness, please rest assured, this matter was done by one person, and it has nothing to do with others."

Xiao Ji glanced at the few people guarding not far behind him, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the general will not be sentenced again, as long as the general survives these few days, he will be fine."

I heard that the sixth prince and Shen Yuzhang both went to Xiao Yan's intercession in private, it should be no big deal, and it was really right to ask Qingyue for help before. These six princes are really unusual to Qingyue, and they respond to their needs. As for Shen Yuzhang, Qin Shu was also his subordinate, and it was natural for him to help ask for a favor as his former boss.

"Thank you, Your Highness"

"You don't have to thank me, this time I have to thank the Sixth Prince and the Hussar General" He is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, but this time it was indeed Xiao Nanfeng who helped, and he had to take some time to visit the Linchuan Mansion in person.

Qin Shu didn't know the reason for this, so he just thought that Xiao Ji asked the sixth prince to help intercede.

But this person is not as good as the sky, what they thought they could hide, in fact, they couldn't hide it for a long time, the secret of the Feixia Palace will eventually be revealed, only a fuse is missing, and this fuse will come soon...

The next day, because of Xiao Huan's arrival, Feixia Hall was much more lively than usual, and several people in the courtyard were flying kites. Xiao Qingyue couldn't remember the last time she was so happy flying a kite, it seemed like it had been a long time. Quietly squinted at Xiao Youyu, who was separated by two or three people, there was no expression on her face at this time, and she waved the thread in her hand a little numbly. Last night, she wanted to open her mouth several times to find Xiao Youyu and tell her everything, but in the end, she retreated again... It was this retreat that, for some time afterward, caused indelible damage to both of them...

Forsythia and Pothos are a little worried, they were arranged to leave the palace tonight, and they don't know if they can see Xiao Qingyue again, both of them are worried about her. I didn't know that the uneasiness of the two had already been discovered by the people on the side.

Xiao Youyu held the kite in his hand, and a sneer faintly flashed at the corner of his mouth...

In the evening, the weather changed suddenly, there were thundershowers from time to time this season, the weather was a little abnormal, and the heavenly master in the palace said that there would be a big event in the palace this year.

Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but wonder if this big event meant her and Xiao Youyu.

There was a "boom", a thunderclap resounded throughout the land, and not long after, a violent storm followed.

Tonight, when it is ugly, Xiao Nanfeng will send someone to the back gate of the palace to answer in person, now Qin Shu is locked in the prison, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the main entrance of the palace have long been replaced by Xiao Yan's Imperial Forest Army, so Xiao Nanfeng arranged for them to leave from the back gate of the palace. It is a critical time to do so...

Before going to bed at night, Xiao Qingyue boiled a bowl of calming the nerves, and sent Xiao Youyu a decoction to fall asleep, which was specially prepared by Su Xing for Xiao Youyu. Xiao Qingyue decided that as long as it was past tonight, she would take the initiative to tell Xiao Youyu everything. Although, Xiao Nanfeng asked her to leave the palace as soon as possible after Forsythia and Pothos left, but she couldn't let go of Xiao Youyu...

When she sent the boiled decoction to Xiao Youyu's room, Xiao Youyu didn't seem to have any suspicions, took a few sips in front of her, and didn't say anything more to her.

Xiao Qingyue saw her drink it, so she didn't stay long and left the room. It's just that she didn't see it, as soon as she closed the door from the outside, the people in the room immediately spit out the decoction in her mouth just now...

The storm outside did not stop, mixed with earth-shattering thunder, which was very scary. Forsythia and Green Heron are already ready, just waiting for the ugly time to set off as soon as the ugly time comes...

But Xiao Qingyue felt a little uneasy at this time, Xiao Youyu had been unusually quiet and obedient in the past two days, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and she always felt strange, but she couldn't say it. It wasn't long before she realized where this uneasiness came from ...

Xiao Qingyue asked Ran Yu to stay in the Feixia Hall to guard, and she sent Forsythia and Green Pothos to wait at the exit of the back door of the palace first. She had already discussed with Forsythia and Green Pothos that the people sent by Xiao Nanfeng would send them to a safe place outside the city to settle down, and after she had taken care of everything in the Feixia Palace, she would then leave the palace to meet them.

On the road of the torrential rain, the three of them held two paper umbrellas and walked in the rain, it was the second half of the night, and there was no one along the way, only the sound of the raindrops falling.

The closer she was to the gate of the palace, the faster Xiao Qingyue's heart was beating, and at this time, the paper umbrella in her hand had been blown by the wind, and the shoes on her feet had already been soaked by the rain.

Forsythia and green pothos were next to each other, holding an umbrella and carrying a burden, and the two of them were also frightened along the way, praying in their hearts that they could go out smoothly and safely out of the city as they had done in the past. Originally, they didn't agree to leave the palace, but they didn't want to be Xiao Qingyue's worries in the palace, so they finally agreed...

At this time, there were not too many guards guarding the back door, and just after the ugly time, the guards at the door opened the door directly as if they knew them.

A carriage was parked outside the palace gate, and after waiting for a long time, Li Xun got down from the carriage and picked up the two of them. Xiao Qingyue then instructed the two of them a few words, and then asked them to leave quickly, although they had already sent people out of the palace, she was still panicked in her heart.

After Xiao Qingyue sent the people away, she hurriedly prepared to return to the Feixia Palace, maybe the road was too slippery on a rainy night, and maybe it was difficult to walk at night, so she fell on the road. Got up from the ground in a panic, her clothes and hair were instantly wet by the heavy rain, and at this moment, a rush of footsteps broke the quiet rainy night, as if many people were rushing here...
