The first snow of the year seems to be a little earlier than usual. Yuening, as usual, went out early in the morning to inspect the shop. In the past, when Yan Ziqian was not in the capital, she inspected the property of Qiancheng Villa in the capital every day, but now although Yan Ziqian has been in the capital for a few days, after being poisoned, she is unrecognizable, and she is even more reluctant to go out. Yue Ning looked at the snowflakes that were fluttering one after another, and turned into the rouge shop. The guy in the shop watched Yue Ning walk in and hurriedly welcomed her to the private room in the backyard. Yue Ning leaned back in her chair, looked at the crackling brazier in the room, and sat quietly.

After a while, a woman dressed as a woman walked in, the woman lowered her head, respectfully handed the account book to Yue Ning, and then raised her head, it was Shiso! She bowed and bowed, and the room was silent, only the shallow breathing of the two could be heard, and the sound of Yue Ning looking through the account book from time to time.

The charcoal fire in the furnace "snapped", and Yue Ning put down the ledger and looked at Shisu, "Shisu." ”

Before she could speak, Zi Su took out a letter from her bosom and put it on the table, and said softly, "There's a letter from over there." When Yue Ning heard this, she had to take the letterhead, and when she saw the words on the letterhead, she was a little stunned, and she was stunned for a long time before opening the letter.

Zi Su asked again, "But the Lord ......."

Yue Ning looked at the letter carefully, and after reading it, she folded it and threw it into the brazier. The last piece of the letter is a painting, the painting is fine, the small paper can also see the painting of the woman's good, the beads in the woman's hand do not know what gouache is used to outline, it seems extraordinarily clear, the woman in the painting even the pattern on the clothes on the body is very clear, and the painting on the other man in bright yellow clothes is very poorly drawn.

"The Lord's painter has improved again." Shiso looked at the painting from a distance, and his face showed a hint of yearning. Yue Ning's hand involuntarily touched the woman in the painting, as if the woman was right in front of her. "Miss, the master uses the gouache you adjusted, how beautiful you look."

Yue Ning looked at the painting, the paint on the rice paper was different, even for so many days, the paint also exuded a faint floral fragrance, and in a place where there was light, you could still see the shining stars inside. Yue Ning seemed to think of something, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Brother doesn't like those golden and jade things, but he likes these bookish and angry things." Do some later, and have someone bring it to him." ”

Yue Ning put the painting into the placket, touched the envelope, and saw that the envelope had a bulge, so she glanced at Shiso, who took out the paper cutter that had been prepared, and Yue Ning opened the mezzanine of the envelope, but it was a blank piece of paper. Her eyes lit slightly, she took out the rouge from her purse, wiped it on, and after a quarter of an hour, the words appeared on it. Yue Ning looked at it for a while, crumpled the rice paper, and threw the paper ball into the fire. She sat still and didn't speak.

Shisu glanced at her, bowed down and said, "But what instructions does the Lord have?" ”

Yue Ning came back to her senses, looked at Zisu, and asked lightly, "Zisu, do you remember your previous name?" Yue Ning suddenly stopped, looking at Zisu with a slightly confused gaze, but it seemed that she wanted to see something through Zisu. Hearing this, Shisu thought about it for a while, seemed to remember something, and sighed slightly. "I only remember my father's surname was Guo."

"Yes, you are the daughter of the Guo family, and the Guo family's silk village has opened all over the country." Yue Ning smiled softly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "Are you homesick?"

Zi Su lowered her head, Yue Ning couldn't see her face, she just said in a cold voice: "Pavilion Master, I have long forgotten whether it is warm or cold in the south now, whether it is autumn or winter. ”

When Yue Ning heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled, "You didn't mention it, I forgot, you and my brother used to have some friendship." Zi Su still lowered his head and said nothing, but Yue Ning also felt quite bored, and continued: "Next fifteen, order them to bring the antidote medicine." ”

Zi Su raised his head in surprise and looked at Yue Ning, "If according to Miss's previous deployment, Qiancheng Zhuang will be our help in less than half a year, if it can't help us, I'm afraid Yan Ziqian won't be able to do it." ”

"Xu is that there are too many people who have died these days, and my brother is afraid that our Fengcao Pavilion will be remembered by people with a heart.

"But the dead are all some dead soldiers outside our pavilion, and we can't find out about the ...... in the pavilion."

"I'm afraid of this man who has a heart." Before Shisu could finish speaking, Yue Ning interrupted her. Yue Ning's eyes flashed with a calculation that did not match her age. "The people who are secretly protecting Jiang Kun should be withdrawn." Yue Ning's expression was a little sluggish, and her eyes seemed to be out of focus, just looking ahead in a daze.

"Yes......"

"He doesn't allow Feng Cao Pavilion to make a mistake by half a point, otherwise how can he finish his good game of chess?" Yue Ning's words were full of helplessness, like her brother who was infinitely fond of her in her mouth a moment ago, but at the moment he was just the controller of her life. After saying that, she stopped talking, and Shisu on the side willingly left the room.

Yue Ning thought about it, and finally took out the painting from her arms, threw it into the brazier, looked at the ashes on the ground, turned her head to look at the blue sky outside from the window of the square, and felt that she was like a chess piece in the small grid of the chessboard.

The jailer sent the food into the cell of Jiang Lin and Mrs. Jiang, it was snowing outside, and it was even more cold inside the cell, Jiang Lin sat in the corner of the cell, Mrs. Jiang walked to the front, quietly picked up the food and sat back in the corner of the cell, she glanced at Jiang Lin, and said indifferently: "This decapitated meal prepared by Lord Shang is not bad, don't you need some?" ”

Jiang Lin slowly turned his head and looked at Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Don't look at me like this, we have become husband and wife for a lifetime after all, and this Huangquan Road will also be walked together, I owe you the Jiang family, and I will pay it back when I get below." ”

Jiang Lin took a sip fiercely, watched Mrs. Jiang chew slowly and eat the food in the bowl, and snorted coldly: "Poisonous woman!" ”

After a while, Madame Chiang also ate the rice in the bowl, and Lord Shang walked in with the jailer. Mrs. Jiang looked at Lord Shang, stood up, patted the straw off her clothes, straightened her hair bun again, walked to the door, and said softly, "Let's go." ”

Everyone tied Jiang Lin and Mrs. Jiang strongly, escorted the two to the gate, the door was already full of relatives of the Jiang family's side branches, everyone saw Jiang Lin and Mrs. Jiang come out, the cursing was endless, when Jiang Lin walked past them, some people spit on Jiang Lin's body fiercely. Madame Jiang still followed Jiang Lin with an indifferent face, and the officers and soldiers pulled everyone into the prisoner car and pulled them in the direction of the execution ground.

The snow is getting heavier. The whistling north wind made people's faces hurt, and Mrs. Jiang stood in the prison car, watching the people around her pointing at them, and her heart was quite funny. She has already seen it through in her heart, even if she crosses the country and fights back? What if Yao Guo changed the emperor? In the hearts of this group of people, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment and avoid war, it will be a good day. She has been listening to the news for the Yue country all her life, and she is planning for the Yue people how to capture Yaojing, but so what? Now she is still standing in this prison car, rushing to the execution ground. Fortunately, fortunately, her Kun'er is not there, Kun'er is the most face-saving person, if he is there, he will be looked at by this group of people, he will definitely die of shame.

The prisoner car finally arrived at the place where the vegetable market was beheaded, and although it was snowing, there were still a lot of people gathered. The soldiers pressed everyone from the Jiang family to the execution ground one by one, and everyone knelt down. Yue Ning hid in the crowd, looking at Mrs. Jiang's appearance, thinking of the many years, every time Mrs. Jiang went to the pavilion to see herself, she was now in this indifferent and dustless posture, as if she could count everything in the world. Even if she had calculated herself for Jiang Kun, Mrs. Jiang was indeed a respectable woman.

She suddenly thought of today's letter, maybe Jiang Kun, Mrs. Jiang, and even all the women in Fengcao Pavilion were just pawns in the power game in the eyes of his imperial brother, but she had been in Fengcao Pavilion for many years, and she had seen a lot of women in the pavilion planning for love, for love, for heirs, for their mother's family, planning, running, calculating, and dying. She has been in this Yao Kingdom for ten years, and five years ago, when she took over the Feng Cao Pavilion from the hands of the previous pavilion master, she had also met her imperial brother.

At that time, Sima Qing suddenly fell seriously ill, Yao Kingdom was in chaos, her imperial brother took advantage of the chaos to come, she was only ten years old at that time, and the imperial brother in her memory had long been blurred, but that day, her imperial brother still brought the white sugar cake made by the nurse, and the hairpin that her mother gave her, her imperial brother was as before, waved away everyone, and then carried her on his back, so many years have passed, it is the warm vein of the imperial brother that day supports her step by step in Yao Guozhongri.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the people kneeling on the execution ground, those people from the Jiang family had long been dressed in tatters, and their hair was extremely unkempt, but Mrs. Jiang was the only one who still maintained her dignity. If one day, she also ends up like this, will her royal brother send someone to save her?

Mrs. Jiang knelt on the stage, she remembered that day kneeling in the house, the pavilion master should have told her to protect Kun'er, and she remembered that her brother had come from thousands of miles away from Yue to personally take Kun'er back to her mother's house in Yueguo, she smiled and thought, it must be Kun'er's knowledge that can be appreciated by her brother, presumably with the status of the Zhang family in Yueguo, it will definitely give Kun'er a bright future!

Mrs. Jiang watched the executioner come up with a big knife, and the relatives of the Jiang family around her all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and even worse, they fainted directly. The corners of her mouth hooked a faint smile, she was not afraid of death, she was only afraid of her Kun'er death, she had done too much intrigue and calculating other people's things, she had long been physically and mentally exhausted, once upon a time, she wanted to die on the battlefield countless times, so that she didn't have to see Jiang Lin again, but every time she was in danger, she thought of her Kun'er again. Yes, her Kun'er is still so young, her Kun'er still needs her like that, her Kun'er is Wentao Wuluo, she hasn't waited for Kun'er to become her own child.

But this time, she couldn't wait after all, but she felt that her death was worth it. Huizong and King Ning are separated from each other, and there will definitely be a bloody massacre in the court of Yao Kingdom in the future, and her Kun'er should not stay here. The emperor of the Yue Kingdom will definitely be grateful for her contributions and value her Kun'er. Her mother's family is also the Jiangmen family of the Yue Kingdom, her Kun'er has been familiar with the art of war and strategy since she was a child, and she is not inferior to herself, she has earned Kun'er's splendid future, why is she still afraid of death? Of course she wasn't afraid! She smiled at the crowd below, smiled at the Jiang family's greed for life and fear of death on the field, and smiled at the executioner.

In three quarters, the execution will be carried out.
