Qingzhi was not wrong in inquiring, Murong Jin would enter the palace from time to time every day to report things to the emperor.

However, Murong Jin has not found out anything in the past few days.

The emperor was naturally in a bad mood, and the migraine he had suffered from a few days ago made the anger he had suppressed in his heart even more uncontrollable.

After telling the emperor about it that day, Murong Jin was also allowed to see Xie Fanghua, he was naturally happy in his heart, and he withdrew from the imperial study and strode towards the Jinhua Palace.

Xie Fanghua asked Qingzhi to just send Lin Jieyu away, but she didn't expect Murong Jin to come.

"General Murong?" Qingzhi looked at Murong Jin with some surprise, but there was still a lot of etiquette, so she invited Murong Jin into the hall.

Xie Fanghua instructed the little palace maid to clean up the refreshments on the table, Lin Jieyu came to say a few words to her and left, and the refreshments on the table were pulled down as they were.

In the pavilion, Xie Fanghua wore a iris purple embroidered moire palace dress, with a thin coral blue shoulder on her shoulders, her hair tied very casually, and she only wore a glass hairpin.

She was sitting in the pavilion thinking about her own affairs, but Murong Jin came in front of her.

Murong Jin is wearing clothes that match Xie Fanghua today, there are faint silver-purple patterns on the white clothes, Murong Jin has always liked plain colors, Xie Fanghua has turned over his clothes before, most of them are one color, he is wearing a patterned shirt today, Xie Fanghua is a little surprised.

She walked to the pavilion and went in with Murong Jin again.

"Why are you here?" Xie Fanghua asked.

It's not that she doesn't want Murong Jin to come, on the contrary, she wishes she could see Murong Jin every day.

But Xie Fanghua understood that as Murong Jin, he couldn't come to see her often.

After Murong Jin sat down, he said, "Your Majesty allowed me to come and see you, there was a wind in the capital during this time, are you okay?" ”

There was a wind in the capital, and Murong Jin understood what Xie Fanghua meant.

When will there be no wind in the treacherous and changeable capital?

After Xie Fanghua also sat down, he poured tea for Murong Jin and said, "I'm fine." It's just that Your Majesty hasn't sent you to investigate the black market recently, do you have eyebrows? ”

After she asked this, the tea was also poured, and then handed it to Murong Jin.

Murong Jin took the tea and shook his head gently, "No." However, a few days ago, I fought with a man in black at the black market, and his martial arts were no worse than mine, and I suspected that he was a member of the Yu family. ”

The tea was still warm, Murong Jin hurried over, his throat was a little stinging and dry, and after taking a sip of tea, the whole person was relaxed.

Xie Fanghua listened to him and lowered his eyes slightly.

The assassin of the Yu family?

She knows.

It's a shadow.

Xie Fanghua didn't speak, Murong Jin was silent, and the pavilion was quiet.

Qingzhi sent Murong Jin and left, she didn't want to disturb the short time that Niangniang and General Murong had together.

"Your Majesty can let you come to see me, do you know why?" Xie Fanghua poured herself a cup of tea but didn't drink it, her hand touched the temperature of the tea through the teacup.

Murong Jin also grew up in the capital, and he could more or less guess the emperor's purpose.

"I know about the autumn hunt, Zhiyi and Ran were hunted down by assassins, although there is no complete reason to punish Princess Pingle, but Your Majesty has become jealous of the Yu family."

Murong Jin paused, and then said: "The Fu family has always looked at the Yu family, and now that the Fu family is gone, Yu Shangshu must find a suitable new ally, how can Your Majesty allow this kind of thing to happen, so he wants to use me to contain the Yu family and balance the balance of the imperial court." ”

The emperor is the emperor after all, even if he favors the concubine, but in front of his country, the beauty is not important.

It's just that why use Murong Jin to contain it?

Xie Fanghua and Murong Jin tacitly agreed.

Although Murong Jin was raised by the Chen family and has a good friendship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is not from the Chen family or the Xie family after all, his surname is Murong.

Of course, it is also because he has a relationship with the Chen and Xie families that it is better to weigh the Yu family.

The position of the Yu family in the imperial court is deep-rooted, and if Murong Jin is just one person, the emperor will not use him.

Xie Fanghua glanced at Murong Jin deeply, and his mind drifted.

At the beginning, she still wanted Murong Jin and Chen Zhiyi to stay away from the capital, a place of right and wrong, but now it seems that even if she did this, the emperor would have various reasons for Murong Jin to return to Beijing to do things for him.

There is also Chen Zhiyi, she was born in the capital, but her heart is in the rivers and lakes, she is smart, but she does not want to understand the family plots in the capital.

Xie Fanghua didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

I only hope that she can do her best to protect Chen Zhiyu I Chang'an.

Moreover, Zhiyi still has Ran.

Murong Jin also thought about some things on his mind, and sighed involuntarily, as soon as he sighed, white breath came out of his mouth, which was blown up by the cool breeze and disappeared again.

"Murong, how about we play a game?" Xie Fanghua suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child.

She and Murong took turns to play against Prime Minister Xie, but they always lost more and won less.

Murong Jin also remembered, he nodded, "Okay." ”

Xie Fanghua went back to the house and took the chessboard, which she used when she was a child when she practiced playing chess with Murong Jin, when she took it out, a piece of red paint fell off, and the chessboard was a little damaged, but there was no ash on it.

Murong Jin also recognized it, and seeing Xie Fanghua carefully fiddling with the chessboard, he smiled with some emotion, and said, "Fu Xi still has this chessboard?" ”

Xie Fanghua said with a smile while setting up the chessboard: "This chessboard was given to us by my grandfather to play against us, how can I not keep it?" ”

Xie Fanghua held the sunspot and landed a child in the middle. At first, the speed of the two of them was fast, but when they got to the back, the speed slowed down.

Xie Fanghua sandwiched a sunspot between her index finger and middle finger, but she didn't fall for a long time, her eyes were staring at the chess game, thinking about where to take this step, and how Murong would take after leaving.

After finally falling into the son, Murong Jin quickly fell into a white son.

It seems that he has already thought about which step Xie Fanghua will take.

Xie Fanghua went to the chess box to get sunspots again, "Grandpa always said that the most lively thing in life is to do something you like, from day to night, from spring to winter." ”

Murong Jin also remembers this sentence, Prime Minister Xie always likes to give a sentence full of life philosophy to the younger generations from time to time.

He still remembers that Prime Minister Xie is very fond of playing chess, and it is rumored that Prime Minister Xie and the former emperor once played against each other for three days and three nights, and it was precisely because he won the former emperor that he was favored by the former emperor and gave him an official position, and became a generation of virtuous ministers step by step.

Xie Fanghua said: "I can't compare to my grandfather. My grandfather plays against others, and I can see the other person's thoughts, so I can't. ”

The game looks at the mountains and rivers, and the world is black and white.

Prime Minister Xie has this ability.

However, now that he is old, otherwise the emperor will not only be jealous of the Yu family, but he will also be jealous of the Xie family.

Xie Fanghua fell into the ground, but she regretted it when she fell into this one, seeing her annoyed appearance, Murong Jin told her that she could take a new step.

However, Xie Fanghua did not agree, she said: "Life is like chess, regret not to start again." ”

In the end, Xie Fanghua lost, and Murong Jin released the water, otherwise she would have lost even more.

Xie Fanghua didn't know why she lost, in the past, she and Murong Jin's strength were comparable, but now she can't.

She didn't know it herself, but Murong Jin knew. Murong Jin felt that Xie Fanghua was not as indifferent as before, and now Fu Xi had distracting thoughts in his heart, what kind of distracting thoughts it was, Murong Jin also knew.

"Fu Xi always has too much on his mind." It's a pity that she rarely talks to him, so even if Murong Jin wants to share Xie Fanghua's worries, she doesn't know how to speak.

"How can you solve your worries?" Xie Fanghua looked at the chessboard and asked him, his eyes a little blank.

"If the heart is uneven, how can you relieve your worries?" Murong Jin asked rhetorically.

Xie Fanghua hung his head and was silent.

Murong Jin said: "Fu Xi, if you are too tired on the road, take a rest, and if you are scared, take a look behind you, I am here." ”

Xie Fanghua's eyes lit up, and there was a little color, "Murong ......"

Murong Jin reached out to stroke her hair, but the hand hanging in the air still clenched into a fist and finally retracted it.

He got up and said, "Fu Yu takes care of himself in the palace." You don't have to worry about Concubine Yu's side, she's probably thinking about her family's affairs now! ”

Xie Fanghua also got up, smiled reluctantly, and nodded, "Don't worry." ”

Murong Jin didn't dare to stay in Jinhua Hall for too long, and after saying a few words to Xie Fanghua, he turned around and left.

Xie Fanghua looked at the back of Murong Jin leaving, and when the other party walked to the corner, he also glanced back at himself.

Murong Jin smiled.

Xie Fanghua was stunned.

Murong Jin rarely smiled, and the few smiles she gave were for her.

But now Xie Fanghua was stunned. The first feeling Murong Jin gave people was that it was as cold as broken ice, but as long as he laughed, no matter how cold the day was, it would be warmed.

When Xie Fanghua came back to his senses, Murong Jin's figure was gone.

She sat back down.

Xie Fanghua suddenly felt weak and tired.

Qingzhi sent Murong Jin away and came back, she saw Xie Fanghua lying on the table, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran over, "Niangniang, the table is cold." ”

The stone table was indeed a little cold and cold by the wind, but Xie Fanghua liked this feeling very much.

"Qingzhi, you said it would be nice if I didn't have so many distractions at the beginning," Xie Fanghua was still lying on the stone table, hooking his lips and smiling self-deprecatingly, "I have done so much, what have I gained?" ”

She really regretted that she had chosen such an irreversible path, as if with every step she took, the road behind her would collapse and become an abyss.

It's good to be an ordinary lady of the Chen family, with your father, with your sister, and with him.

It's a pity that just like Xie Fanghua just said, life is like chess, and regrets will not come back.

What's more, this is not a game of chess.

"Niangniang......" Qingzhi wanted to comfort Xie Fanghua, but she didn't know what to say when the words came to her lips.

The road was chosen by Xie Fanghua, Qingzhi has followed Xie Fanghua for more than ten years, no matter what the road ahead, she will accompany her to go down.
