The master laughed. He smiled respectfully, his voice steady.

"At this time, I have some questions and want to ask Zhuang Yuanlang, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Master, please speak."

"I don't know much about poetry collections or anything, but I heard a joke not long ago, and I want to solve my doubts, Uncle Li has a total of seven sons, and each of these seven sons has a younger sister, so how many children does Uncle Li have?"

As soon as these words came out, his head, which had always been lowered, was raised again, and he looked at me in a daze for a long time without speaking.

Xiao Jincheng smiled dotingly and spoke, "What's the matter, Zhuang Yuanlang doesn't bother to answer this question?" His voice was calm, but it was faintly warning!

"There are eight of them! The little sister is the youngest, and there are seven older brothers on it, and all seven older brothers have this one sister, so there are eight children! As if noticing his gaffe, Mu Tianyan immediately retracted his gaze and replied in a low voice.

Xiao Jincheng was accustomed to seeing my strange questions, and he didn't seem to notice the strangeness between the two of us, so he invited me to sit down.

When the four of them sat opposite each other, Yan Qingmu on the side spoke, "I didn't expect that Miss An could come back from the dead, which is a happy thing for the emperor!" ”

I smiled and said nothing. No matter what they say at this time, we can't go back to the way we were.

I took a closer look at this Yan Aoki, his face was white, his eyes were shining, and at a glance, he knew that he was a scheming person!

Is this the person Xia Yu wants to meet? Why did she want to see this person? The outlying island was destroyed, and Yan Qingmu was not the only one in the Xia Mansion who rebelled, but why did Xia Yu want to see him?

What kind of secret does this Yan Aoki have?

We sat for a while, and someone came to report, saying that there was an urgent matter in the court that needed to be handled by Xiao Jincheng personally, and he hurriedly explained that he left.

His back is still so arrogant and unapproachable, but his back is missing that loneliness...... Is it because I'm back? Or Su Qiaoyun?

I retracted my gaze in a trance, and picked up the longan placed on the gold plate on the table, which was as clear as snow, "I don't know if Yan Shangshu still remembers the woman named Xia Yu?" ”

Yan Qingmu was stunned, "Cousin...... She's in the cold palace......"

Cousin?

She stayed in the cold palace in a daze, but she still thought about you in her heart, hoping to see you again! Seems to have something to say to you. With that, I put the longan in my mouth, and as soon as I chewed it, the cold sweetness spread to the tip of my tongue.

"Master Yue isn't curious why she wants to see me?" Yan Aoki looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Not curious, because I just want to fulfill one of her last wishes, after all, I don't want to kill him! If you really have nothing to do with her, then what's the point of seeing her? ”

Now Xiao Jincheng is not here, so I don't have anything to worry about!

Yan Aoki lowered his head, rubbing his hands against each other, as if he was still hesitating about something, I continued, "Since you call her a cousin, then don't let down this cousin!" ”

He stood up, Aoki's silk clothes rubbed against each other and made a soft sound, bringing a breeze, "I'll go see her." He dropped such a sentence, hurriedly saluted me, and walked away, leaving only a smell of earth as fine as dust.

And at this moment, Mu Tianyan and I were the only ones left in the Imperial Garden, sitting next to each other, no one spoke, and the surrounding area was filled with condensed air.

I didn't open my mouth because I had been waiting for him to speak first, and I didn't know if he recognized me. After all, when I met him, I was the ordinary me before my disfigurement. Now, with a peach blossom face, can he still recognize it?

Finally, he asked, "Are you that sister?" The first sister to give me peaches"

Be the first to eat a peach? I was stunned, could it be that a peach back then was the first time he ate it? I didn't know that a peach could make him so memorable!

……

This is the case in the summer, when a downpour comes without warning, and the wind smells of damp earth, which is a bit fishy.

I leaned back on the window and thought back to my meeting with Mu Tianyan yesterday, he was really not as immature as he was back then, and his whole body was full of a sense of maturity.

I'm only fifteen years old, and I still remember that he was much shorter than me, and he was taller than me after three years. No wonder the palace people say that he will not be in the pool in the future.

Later, when he talked to me about things at home, he could only use the word 'bitter' to describe it.

In order to allow him to go to private school, his father gave him all the money he had accumulated for many years to go to private school, but the family had no food and clothing, and many times he wanted to give up going to private school, and every time he mentioned this, his father would always pick up a wooden stick and beat him hard. He also shouted, "You son of a, Lao Tzu gave you the only food money in the family for you to go to private school, and in the future, you will be able to go to the land." In order to allow you to enter Beijing to take the exam, you sold the only acre of land to the landlord, and now you don't want to read it with Lao Tzu? ”

I just knew that Mu Tianyan's childhood came like this, and it was no wonder that he would remember me for many years because of a peach.

Unexpectedly, the child back then jumped into the dragon gate and ascended to the position of the champion of Xinke's civil and military affairs.

Xiao Jincheng also seems to have a good appreciation for him, otherwise he would not have invited him to the Imperial Garden, his future will really be limitless.

I heard that Yan Aoki suddenly asked to see Xia Yu last night, so my task was completed.

When this rain stops, I should go and see Xia Yu, and hope that she will talk and tell me who killed my father and why my father died!

Could it be...... No, I don't think about anything, no matter how much I guess, there will be an answer tonight.

Suddenly, someone sang in the wind and rain, "The emperor is the first to drive"

As soon as I heard Xiao Jincheng's arrival, the minions of the first palace knelt down to greet each other, and I straightened my windswept hair, pinned the scattered tassels behind my ears, and went out of the palace to greet them.

Xiao Jincheng's dragon boots were a little wet, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he slowly walked beside me, "After drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, are you feeling better?" Does the medicine have any effect? ”

I casually replied, "Well, it's okay." ”

In fact, there is a world of difference between the tea given to me by Imperial Physician Li and Liancheng Yanping, and the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Li is really bitter, and it is bitter and difficult to chew. Drinking that kind of bitter medicine three times a day is simply a kind of torture.

Xiao Jincheng said 'en' and sat alone on the deputy bed, his face was a little cold, as if he had encountered something bad.

I didn't ask, I waited for him to tell me first.

He was silent for a long time and finally smiled faintly at me, "What's wrong?" ”

I was a little puzzled by his question, and I replied with some amusement, "It seems that I should ask you this sentence." ”

He is indeed a little strange today, in the past he seemed to be able to hide his emotions very well when he encountered anything, but now he can't, why is this?

"On the Khitan side, Liancheng Yanping ascended the throne and made the prime minister of the dynasty, the lord of Xiangyun County, the queen." He paused, pondered for a moment, and looked at me.

What was he worried about? Afraid of me leaving?

"I suppose there's going to be a tough battle, right?" My face remained the same, and I replied softly.

"I must deal with the Khitan as soon as possible, that Liancheng is much more terrible than Yeluhuan."

Hearing him mention Yeluhuan, my chest was stuffy, and I looked at him with some gloom, "The two countries are at war, how can the people be innocent?" ”

"How innocent are the people? If the world continues to be torn apart, the people will really be in dire straits. A moment of sacrifice achieves stability in the world. ”

"Yes, I have never denied what you said, the world is unified. But why didn't you think of a better way? Song Taizu, Chenqiao County changed, the yellow robe was added, and it didn't take a county to get the throne. ”

"A woman's kindness." He angrily threw down four words and got up to leave.

The original expectations in his heart have gradually declined, if the person who said this at this moment is Su Qiaoyun, what will his general attitude be?

Looking at his steps to step out of the gate of the dormitory, I couldn't help but raise my voice and said to him, "Of course, I don't know how to please you like your Su Guiren, I'm just talking about things." Well, since you don't like to listen to me, then you don't want to come in the future. ”

His steps suddenly stopped, and slowly turned to look at me, "Okay, it's my fault. His voice was a little helpless, he walked towards me, put his arm around my shoulders and whispered, "Let's not quarrel anymore in the future, just like those seven days, okay?" ”

"Impossible. Xiao Jincheng, do you remember what I said to you before I promised to come back with you? As long as my child is born safely, you will let me leave with the child, and what you have said cannot be counted. I broke out of his arms, "I know that your harem has many women, and there are more powerful women." If I really get too close to you and get too much pampering from you, my child ......"

"With me, no one dares to touch your child."

"Yes."

"Who?"

"You."

"I won't."

"What about Guiren Su?"

The air suddenly changed from the initial ambiguity to silence and condensation, Xiao Jincheng lowered his head as if he was pondering, as if he was struggling with something.

Could it be that Su Qiaoyun has really reached such an important point in his heart?

"She won't, Xin'er." Xiao Jincheng looked at me very seriously and said these six words to me in a very firm tone.

I was completely stunned by his six words, and I really trusted him so much, "How do you know she won't?" ”

"I promise."

I promise.

These three words came out of his mouth, and what did he guarantee her?

He trusts Su Qiaoyun so much, Su Qiaoyun has been by his side for the past two years.

Xiao Jincheng has not only used her because she is a spy, if their relationship really reaches such a point, then I am the third party, then Xiao Jincheng's so-called 'seven days' is a big joke at all.

Treating my child as his own is simply because he doesn't care.

"Xin'er, you ......" Xiao Jincheng looked at my expression and suddenly panicked, and he wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, Xia Guifei hanged herself."

Hearing this, my heart jumped, Xia Yu hanged himself?
