Xiao Jingqi sat in his Youyu Village room, looking at the Qingying Sword on the sword stand.

His gaze swept over the handle of the sword, and the ornament on the handle was long gone.

When Li Amaranth gave him the sword, the ornament was gone.

At that time, he was very puzzled, why is the most cherished thing in Hu'er gone?

Li Amaranth told him that the jade unicorn was lost, and it was lost in Li Yi's cemetery.

Yi Hua and the forbidden army of the imperial court were trembling, and the rope on the sword handle was cut off by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and the jade unicorn was lost on the spot, and she didn't have time to get it back.

Li Amaranth told him that she went there to look for it, but she didn't.

It's a piece of the card, how can it be lost?

Xiao Jingqi is not allowed.

Yes, for so many years, he was looking for that thing and never gave up.

Not only because Huan'er attaches great importance to that ornament, but also because it was given to Huan'er by his master Cui Boyuan.

Cui Boyuan is very partial to Huan'er, and Xiao Jingqi when he was a teenager didn't understand.

He once asked his master, "I am your disciple, why do you want to give such a beautiful jade unicorn to Huan'er?" ”

Cui Boyuan's face was full of displeasure, and he said to him in a cold voice, "Because Hu'er needs it." ”

"Why does the Mulberry need it?"

Xiao Jingqi was puzzled, but Cui Boyuan made a gloomy face to him and complained to him, "Why do you have so many questions." ”

From then on, Xiao Jingqi didn't ask anymore, because he saw that Huan'er really liked it, hung it on the sword handle, and stroked it every day.

When he saw that Huan'er was happy, he was also happy.

His thoughts pulled back, and he took the Qingying Sword off the sword stand, caressing the blade.

Now the sword is still there, but the jade unicorn is gone.

He had to get it back.

There was a knock on the door in the quiet room, and Xiao Jingqi said lightly to the door, "Come in." ”

Cheng You walked in respectfully and politely, and said, "Master Hou, Nangong has been done." ”

Xiao Jingqi nodded slightly, and responded coldly, "Hmm." ”

Cheng You didn't leave immediately, but was stunned.

Xiao Jingqi raised his eyes to look at him, "Anything else?" ”

Cheng You said quietly, "Gao Li, the eldest lady of Gaofu, may become the princess of Xianyang." ”

Xiao Jingqi didn't have any expression, put the sword on the sword stand, and then said lightly, "Gao Yang wants to fight for power and profit in the imperial court, well, it's a good idea." ”

Cheng You was puzzled and whispered, "Master Hou is saying that Gao Li's pregnancy is Gao Yang's private approval?" ”

Xiao Jingqi glanced at Cheng You and sneered, "Do you think Tuoba really likes Gao Li?" ”

Cheng You touched the back of his head, a little unclear.

Xiao Jingqi approached Cheng You, smiling or not, "You don't know much about the affairs of the Great Wei Imperial Court, and you don't understand the heart of King Xianyang. ”

Xiao Jingqi took another step, looked back at him, and asked, "Do you know why the Empress Dowager Feng imprisoned Tuoba Hong for a period of time four years ago?" ”

Cheng You shook his head.

Xiao Jingqi twisted his eyebrows and said, "At that time, Tuoba Xi had already guessed the intention of Empress Dowager Feng. ”

Cheng You was still puzzled and asked, "What intention?" ”

"The Empress Dowager Feng wants to spend Tuoba Hong's throne and support Tuoba Hong."

When Xiao Jingqi said this, there was a complicated smile at the corner of his mouth, and Cheng You couldn't understand this smile, but he had already understood Hou Ye's next intention at this time.

After being silent for a while, Cheng You realized the meaning of Hou Ye's words, and he said, "Hou Ye is saying that Gao Yang is supporting the King of Xianyang?" ”

Xiao Jingqi just smiled, and did not give Cheng You an answer, he sat back in front of the bookcase again, his eyes were still on the sword, and then he said coldly, "Back then, Gao Yang was just a town general. ”

The corners of his lips pursed a sneer again, and this sentence seemed to be said to Cheng You and to himself.

～～～～～～～～～～～

Yinglin came to me with a look of unnaturalness, and when she said that there was news from the house that my mother had fallen in the house and was unconscious, I was full of surprise.

Listening to the tone of her mouth, it is difficult for her mother to wake up again.

I personally went to the Taihe Hall and told Tuoba Hong that I wanted to go back to the house to visit my mother, but Tuoba Hong only promised me softly, and didn't ask much else.

I hurried home and went straight to my mother's yard.

Mama Lin knelt down in front of me and explained the reason.

She said that she accompanied her mother to move around in the Fuzhong Garden, and when she walked to the stone bridge in the garden, she met the oncoming eldest lady Gao Li.

Gao Li not only disrespected her mother, but also spoke at each other, saying that she was about to become the princess of Xianyang, and asked her mother to make way for her.

Although the mother was an elder, she still swallowed her anger and turned sideways to give way.

But when the eldest lady walked by, her mother suddenly slipped and rolled off the stone bridge, so that she fell unconscious.

Gao Li arrogantly said that she didn't care about her, it was her mother who slipped and didn't stand firmly.

Hearing this, it seemed clear to me that my mother's coma was inseparable from Gao Li.

There is no such thing as slippery feet.

Mama Lin didn't dare to identify Gao Li's behavior on the spot, but she was sad in front of me.

Looking at my mother's pale face and dying appearance, I was already extremely angry.

I suddenly stood up and rushed straight to Gao Li's yard, I wanted to ask her for an explanation.

I can't tolerate her anymore.

I remember her plot and murder vividly, and now I really don't want to hide it for her.

Rushing to the threshold of her attic, I saw her sitting leisurely at the table drinking tea.

She already knew that I was back at home, and when she saw me enter her house, she didn't have the slightest courtesy, but just looked at me indifferently.

I am the noble person of the current emperor, and seeing that I do not even have the most basic etiquette, it can be seen that she is so arrogant.

I stopped and coldly called her name: "Gao Li!"

She raised her face and smiled faintly, "The noble man has returned to the house, I don't know if there is something wrong with coming to my small courtyard?" ”

I said coldly, "What's the matter, Miss Gaofu did something wrong, and she is still panicking at all?" ”

She seemed to be smiling, as if she didn't believe it, "Look at what the noble man said, what can I Gao Li do wrong?" ”

I scoffed, "I know it, and I still need to say it in this palace." ”

She looked innocent, "I really don't know what's going on." As she spoke, she approached me and said with a smile, "You don't think that your mother was pushed off the bridge by Miss Ben, do you?" ”

I sneered, "Isn't it?" ”

She smiled brightly, "Then you really wronged Miss Ben, Miss Ben has no interest in your mother." ”

My heart sank, my eyes stared at her, and I said indifferently, "If my mother can't wake up, don't blame this palace for not being able to tolerate you anymore!" ”

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she smiled, "What, you came to kill me as a noble person?" ”

I groaned slightly and sneered, "Maybe it will be your wish." ”

I glared at her, waved my sleeves, and strode towards the door.

Ying Lin followed me, standing at the door and looking at me stunned, she may not have imagined that I, who have always been gentle, would have such a fierce side.

After I went out, she didn't say a word and followed closely behind me.

I went back to my mother's room, still sitting on the edge of her bed, quietly watching her.

After a long time, I asked Mama Lin, "Have you invited a doctor to come and see you?" ”

Mama Lin lowered her head and said sincerely: "The slave maid went to ask the doctor that day, and the doctor also prescribed medicine, but the second lady couldn't wake up, and the medicine couldn't be eaten." Slave and maid, it's just a little bit in the mouth, and if it goes on like this-"

Mama Lin didn't say any more, and looked at my face a little timidly.

That demonic face suddenly came to my mind, would he have a way?

I didn't even raise my eyelids, and called Yinglin.

Ying Lin hurriedly approached and saluted.

"Go to Youyuzhuang outside the city and invite Bai Langzhong." I whispered.

Ying Lin said respectfully, "The slave will go." ”

When Xiao Jingqi came, it was already the time of You, and when he was brought to me by Yinglin, he was obviously with me.

It was also very late when he returned home, and when he heard that I had returned home, he changed into his clothes and immediately came to see me.

There were so many people in the house that he performed the etiquette and honored me as a "nobleman."

Xian Xian hurriedly said to me, "Bai Langzhong's medical skills are so profound, the second lady's condition will definitely improve, second sister, don't worry too much." ”

I met his gaze and said very positively, "There is Lao Bailang." ”

Xiao Jingqi looked stunned for a moment, and blurted out unconsciously: "The grass people will do their best." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched and I smiled, and I had nothing more than that relationship with him.

Even if we are close in front of us, we can only be so cold and far away.

With so many pairs of eyes watching, he and I are two different worlds.

I stepped out of my way, and he brushed my body and reached out to feel my mother's pulse.

I was a little nervous waiting for his results, and I was afraid that what he said was bad.

Sure enough, he withdrew his hand, looked at me, and whispered, "Madame, I'm afraid—"

I was so stunned that my legs went limp, and I almost couldn't stand on my feet.

"I can't wake up, and I may fall asleep forever." He finished his sentence and looked at me worriedly.

I froze for a while, sneering abruptly, sneering coldly.

"Second sister." Xian whispered to me worriedly.

I ignored him.

Under everyone's worried gaze, I walked to the chair with cold eyes, sat down, and said not a word.

When I returned to my Qiushui House, I was in my own mood and my mind was in a trance.

On that day, I didn't go back to the palace and stayed in the Gao Mansion for one night, and Xiao Jingqi didn't go back, stayed in the mansion, and arranged a place for him to live.

Late at night, I couldn't sleep, and I leaned on the railing under the porch and watched the stars, my mind drifting away.

Although my mother used to be extremely indifferent to me, she also had her sore spots, and now that it has passed, I hope that she can live the rest of her life well. But—

I clung to the railing, my heart at ease.

The sound of a flute disturbed my mind.

He hadn't fallen asleep yet.

It's been a long time since I've heard his tune, and I calmed down amid his flute.

I was confused, as if I couldn't see clearly.

When the music stopped, I was still in a daze, and I didn't come back to my senses until he appeared next to me.

I raised my eyes and looked at his face quietly, meeting his melancholy eyes.

I lost my mind.

He grabbed my shoulders and leaned me lightly against his chest, and I leaned on in a daze, and I felt like I wanted to lean on that point.

Lean in quietly.

I don't know how long later, his soft words came from above my head, "I'll help you, you're so kind." ”

"Okay." I silently answered him.

It's just that I didn't understand the meaning of his words clearly at this time, and I didn't think about it seriously, but I just responded casually. When I woke up the next day after that night, I didn't remember him at all.
