After dinner, Chu Junxi sat on the couch by the window to study the Zhenlong chess game. The brazier in the hall is burning, and although the cold wind is raging outside, the house is warm.

Linglong will cut the fruit in the eight-treasure plate to serve, different styles and colors of fruits on the carved plate is very beautiful.

"Isn't it boring to study the chess game all day?"

Chu Jun looked up in anticipation, smiled at her and shook his head, he had come alone for so many years, and he had long been used to it. All kinds of fruits exuded a fruity aroma, Chu Junxi put a golden melon slice in her mouth, and the clear and sweet juice dipped into her lips and teeth, and she couldn't help but eat an extra piece.

It was not yet completely dark outside, and the cold wind suddenly blew wildly, and the branches of the trees in the courtyard shook in the wind, and tiny snowflakes fell from the sky.

Chu Junxi opened the window, and the cold wind seemed to be blocked by the water in the pool to find an outlet, and it poured in instantly, and the snowflakes melted instantly when they fell on the chessboard.

"It looks like a lot of snow this winter."

"Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it will always snow in Gutuo every time it comes to the New Year." Linglong didn't care.

After the New Year, the weather is about to get warmer, Chu Junxi suddenly thought of Su Xueyao's words, after experiencing a cold winter, he can only wait for the spring to bloom.

Thinking of Qingfeng Pavilion, Chu Jun couldn't help but think of that Qiu Zhaoyi again, she was like a clear stream in the harem competing for favor and profit, letting everyone be splendid, she was single and silent.

There are many women in the harem, and Yuan Yongyan will not mention a woman's name at will, but looking at Qiu Zhaoyi's expression, she seems to dislike these, and even faintly displeased. Chu Junxi faintly felt that the relationship between the two was not as calm as it seemed, what kind of story had happened between them?

"Today, the emperor asked Qiu Zhaoyi to dance, and she seemed to be a little displeased." Chu Jun said with regret, she was very curious about this Qiu Zhaoyi.

"What Qiu Zhaoyi hates the most is the fight between the concubines in the harem." Linglong said, "In the past, she always couldn't shirk this kind of thing, but I don't know why she came this time." ”

"It's rare that there are people in the harem who don't like to get holy favors."

The cold wind was blowing in, with cold snowflakes, Linglong closed the window, "Actually, Qiu Zhaoyi was the first person to follow the emperor, and it has been more than five years now. ”

Chu Junxi was a little surprised, and blurted out, "That's the case, then why didn't the emperor directly make her the queen when he ascended the throne?" ”

Linglong shook her head and said that she didn't know, "I heard from the people in Qiu Zhaoyi's palace that she was the only one in the favor at the beginning, and she envied everyone with the emperor every day. But after Qiu Zhaoyi's miscarriage, the emperor no longer favored her, so there were nobles and concubines, Lin Cairen, and these people appeared. ”

Qiu Zhaoyi's miscarriage would not be an accident, and Chu Junxi could be sure that someone did it on purpose. How many fresh lives have been born since ancient times before they could see the world, and the white bones were stacked on top of each other, and she didn't dare to think about this number.

"During the Chinese New Year, the slave's hometown has the custom of pasting window flowers, and the flowers and flowers are cut into a variety of auspicious patterns and pasted on the windows, which are very beautiful, and we will also paste some this year, okay?"

"Okay, but I don't know how to cut it."

"The master of the slave sect is very easy to learn." Linglong said and took the scissors and colored paper, her hands were flexible, holding the paper in one hand and the scissors in the other hand to swim on it, and soon a pattern of deer and crane with spring was formed in her hand, "Look, is it beautiful?" ”

Chu Junxi nodded happily, it was the first time she had seen such a beautiful window flower, "Teach me quickly." As he spoke, he went to get the scissors in Linglong's hand, and when he made a mistake, the scissors poked in his hand, and blood gushed out.

"Master." Linglong exclaimed.

Chu Junxi smiled and shook his head, "Don't make a fuss, isn't it just bloodshed?" ”

"Slave and maid go and get ......"

Before Linglong's words were finished, a terrible scream was heard outside, the two glanced at each other, and Chu Jun said regretfully, "Hurry up and go out and have a look." ”

"But your hand?"

"It's a little bit of a problem."

The two came to the door, and were immediately frightened by the scene in front of them, and their faces looked like the snow on the ground, Chen Jingxian was lying in a pool of blood, several blood holes on her body were bleeding out, and the bright red blood stained the snow under her red, and there was an expressionless waiter standing next to her, holding a blood-stained knife in her hand.

"You ......"

"Ahh Seeing Chu Junxi, the waiter seemed to have just woken up to what she had done, she threw down the knife in her hand in horror, her face was full of fear, and she was crazy, "It's not me, it's not me, it's coming, it's coming." ”

The terrible screams alarmed the guards patrolling around them, and they rushed to hear the shouts.

Facing the suspicious gaze cast by the guards, Chu Jun said regretfully, "It's not me." Then she noticed that the knife in her hand was lying at her feet, and her right hand was bleeding outward, and some of it was dripping onto the snow under her feet, like red plums blooming in the snow.

Chu Jun looked at the waiter with pity, her hands were white and not stained with blood at all.

"Everything in front of you, how can Ning Jieyu explain it?" The guard's face was expressionless, and his voice was a little colder than the fine snow falling from the sky.

"I ......"

"It was her, she was the one who killed our master." The waiter seemed to be frightened, trembling and pointing his finger at Chu Junxi, and kept muttering, "It was she who killed our master, and she killed our master." ”

"You are crazy, obviously ......" Linglong was angry and defended his master.

Before she could finish speaking, the waiter suddenly covered her ears and screamed, especially piercing in the cold night, "It's you, I saw with my own eyes that this woman killed our master with a knife in her hand." ”

"There are all the human and material evidence, what else does Ning Jieyu want to say?"

Everything happened too fast, so fast that Chu Junxi couldn't react, the thing was so coincidental, so coincidental that even he wondered if he really killed this woman.

Chen Jingxian was lying in a pool of blood, her body curled up in pain, and there was no longer a moan. No one took a look at whether she was really dead, everyone's eyes were on Chu Junxi, and she couldn't argue.

The waiter seemed to calm down, her eyes stared at Chu Junxi like a torch, and her face was full of viciousness that she wanted to kill the other party, "You are jealous of the grace of our master, today in Qingfeng Pavilion, you have lost face in front of everyone, and our master is envied by everyone, so you have murderous intentions and killed my master." ”

"What happened?" Qingya's slightly angry voice sounded.

Everyone looked behind them in unison, Su Xueyao was walking towards this side surrounded by everyone, the two maids in front of her were carrying octagonal palace lamps to illuminate the road, the candles were flickering in the wind and snow, and through the faint yellow light, you could see small snowflakes falling suddenly.

"What are you doing here?" Su Xueyao approached, her unhappy eyes skimmed over everyone's faces one by one, and then she found Chen Jingxian lying on the ground, her face was panicked, she quickly calmed down, and her voice became even more aggressive, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's her, it's her." The waiter rushed to Su Xueyao's feet frantically, trembling all over, "She killed our master, and the concubine must uphold justice for my master." ”

The blood stains on Chu Junxi's hands had solidified in the cold weather and turned a darker brown, Su Xueyao glanced at her lightly, and then saw the bloody knife lying at her feet.

Chu Junxi shook her head unconsciously, she took a step back, "This is a misunderstanding, I didn't kill the person." ”

"There must be evidence when you speak, Ning Jieyu said that you didn't kill the person, come up with evidence."

Chu Jun was speechless, Linglong stood up, and said righteously, "I can testify for my master." ”

Su Xueyao chuckled, "Do you think what you said is credible at this time?" ”

The snow stopped, and the white moonlight shone brightly on the silver-white snow, and the new snow was white, covering everything, whether it was the luxurious glazed tiles or the dry branches.

"Take it away."
