died in pain, and Lu Jiangbei did not come in the end.

Duan Xiaolou asked the palace steward for a float, covered the body with a tarpaulin, and pushed the cart out of the palace with a sad face.

He Angelica watched the back of the float far away, without the slightest guilt or sadness, because she was telling the truth. Even if he tries his best to save it, he is still a short-lived person, and he will only use that short life to harm others, and the next victim is not the most concerned and forgetful Duan Xiaolou.

But Duan Xiaolou didn't understand He Angelica's mood, so he pleaded again and again, let the forgetfulness hold on for a few more moments, a few more days, preferably a few months.

He Angelica lifted two slender silver needles, slowly broke them in front of his eyes, and threw them on the ground, breaking his thoughts in this way. Then for the first time in his life, he saw such a deep disappointment in Duan Xiaolou's eyes.

"My third brother and Miss Liao were also invited by King Yan to be guests, let's go and have a look." Meng Xuan's voice fell softly from the top of his head, and at this time it was like sunshine and rain.

He Angelica leaned on his chest, rubbing the faint aroma of green tea, and asked in a muffled voice: "Meng Xuan, among the women you have liked, what is my rank?" ”

"......" is sluggish.

"Why, can't I be counted among the people I like? How many people do I hate the most? ”

Meng Xuan pinched the tip of her nose funny and angry, and told her word by word: "First." Whether it's your favorite or the most memorable, you're number one. Every time I think of you, other people I like or hate are as faint as a cloud, and only you are the clearest. Qing'er, you are the first and only. ”

He Angelica lay on Meng Xuan's chest, squinting and listening, feeling very satisfied.

After a while, she frowned again, and she asked worriedly, "Meng Xuan, aren't you a person with a strong sense of justice?" Even strangers who don't know each other like to be rescued, and the scope is wider than Duan Xiaolou, covering men, women and children. I still remember one time, I failed to save the eldest lady of the Qian family in the academy, you suspect that I deliberately didn't want to save people, and I was very angry with me. Since in your heart, I am bad and selfish, and your standards of good and evil are very clear, then, why do you still like me? Why don't you like a girl who is as kind as a blank slate? ”

"Well, I don't know."

"Don't know?" He Angelica was a little fried, and beat his hard chest with his pink fist, "You never thought about this problem? If you start thinking now, shouldn't you change your mind and like people? ”

Meng Xuan tightened her arms, circled her tightly, and said with a wry smile: "Okay Qing'er, spare me, I don't know yet, people's brains are getting smarter and smarter, and some are getting stupider and stupider." ”

"What do you mean?!" He Angelica waved his fist.

"It means that you must have become stupid during the time you left me, which is why you ask such stupid questions. It seems that you can't let yourself go for too long in the future, otherwise you will be so stupid that you don't even know the way home and will be abducted by bad people. ”

Meng Xuan lowered her head, her face was crystal clear, and her appearance was reflected in the deep pool-like dark pupils. He smiled on his lips and kissed a pearl on her bun, handsome, gentle, and considerate, but what really dazzled her eyes was his determination and confidence. This made her feel slightly relieved and relieved from the loss she had just had.

But she was still very stubborn in wanting an answer, she asked: "Then tell me, a woman with the same appearance, origin, and name, do you like 'good her', she who often does good deeds, or like 'bad her', who is calculating, scheming, and does bad things and sabotage more than helping others?" ”

"What kind of problem is this," Meng Xuan studied her expression carefully, shook her head lightly and said, "You are not the second type of person you describe, Qing'er, you never deliberately destroy it, unless that thing needs to be destroyed." ”

"What if I am? What if, I'm going to be like that? She asked, tilting her face.

"......" Meng Xuan squinted and looked at her quietly.

After a long time, she hung her head in disappointment when she couldn't wait for an answer, this time, even Meng Xuan felt that she was unreasonable.

Three cool fingertips lifted her chin and slowly raised it until her lips reached his. Meng Xuan tossed around her lips like this, and told her in a low voice:

"Perhaps, as you said, I am more loving and pay more attention to things than Duan Xiaolou. But in the two lives, all my likes and admiration have only been given to a woman named He Angelica, so everything about her is within the scope of my 'fraternity'.

"Including her background, the environment in which she grew up, her good and bad family and friends, and every good thing she has done, every distraction she has done, is what I love. Because of the superposition of all this, she has become the current her, and she has become this woman who makes me feel sorry and pity, and I am reluctant to let go for a moment.

"If I only like one or two of her 'immaculate' and eliminate the other few 'imperfect', then I will be suspicious, and if I have another good family background, I will grow up peacefully and happily, and whether he Angelica, who is as clean as a blank piece of paper, is still not the one I am lying in my arms now, and will I be willing to make such an exchange.

In the end, even I couldn't find the answer to what kind of Angelica I liked, and what I especially loved about her. In the end, I can only tell myself, let all the principles go to hell, I don't need to think about it so much. If she is the fairy of the world after the tribulation, then I am her believer; If she is the queen of revenge who wields a sword, then I am her bodyguard.

"Because, no matter how ruthless a woman is in this world, she must want to have a person who stands on her side regardless of the conditions or reasons for whatever she does, right or wrong, good or bad, saving or killing, right?

"I'm that person, Qing'er, and I will stay with you until the end. Always stand by your side, always believe in you, and don't question your every decision. Even if someone says a thousand 'bad' words, as long as you shake your head, I will deal with those people with you. ”

“……”

Lying quietly on Meng Xuan's chest, she closed her eyes in satisfaction, she didn't want to say anything, and she didn't want to ask more. If the husband is like this, what more can the husband ask for?

even began to think that even if he stopped planning to avenge his mother now, and didn't bother with those idle things that had already been taken care of halfway, he just followed Meng Xuan and circled around him every day, there was nothing wrong with it.

The two of them snuggled intimately in the garden of Yanwang's Mansion in this way, until the posture of the earth was desolate, so that people who came and went cast curious and inquiring eyes. Because they are still fresh faces in King Yan's family, there are not many people who know He Angelica, and even fewer people who know Meng Xuan, so someone quietly reported the garden steward, and the garden steward went to the princess's grandmother, and finally reached the ears of Princess Yan.

Princess Yan came over to see that the woman in the "men and women with bad customs in the palace" was none other than He Angelica, and she was suddenly surprised. She threw a hygienic eye at the steward and grandmother, and asked these people to go to the east toilet to think about it and correct their thoughts.

He Angelica raised his eyes and looked at the beauty of the Su White Palace opposite, and when he saw that it was Princess Yan, he was also slightly happy, and pulled Meng Xuan to introduce: "Aunt Lian, it took so long to come to see you, I was too unfilial." Well, this is my father-in-law Meng Xuan - Meng Xuan, this is Princess Yan, she treats me very well, I originally planned to come to the palace to see her first. ”

Meng Xuan was slightly surprised after hearing this, and saw that He Angelica's joy was from the heart, not a disguise, and Meng Xuan was even more surprised. In his impression, Princess Yan Xu Wuhan and Yan King Zhu Di are all the way, although they are nominal royal relatives with He Angelica, but they have ill intentions and plan to make a fuss about He Angelica. This point is categorically intolerable to Meng Xuan.

He Angelica's attitude towards King Yan was cold and polite, but he affectionately called Princess Yan "Aunt Lian", respectful and humble. What is this Concubine Xu's ability to let He Angelica treat like this?

After a closer look, I saw that Concubine Xu's dress was not gorgeous, a plain palace dress, embroidered with dark brown and dark gray branches, and a simple two-point plum blossom embellishment, but naturally wore an elegant and luxurious taste, just like an innate nobleman. It's no wonder that the concubines of King Yan's Mansion must be from famous families.

Concubine Xu's phoenix eyes were flat, her lips were smiling, and she also looked at Meng Xuan at the same time, her expression gradually revealed satisfaction, and she grabbed He Angelica's hand and said with a smile: "Last time in the Meng family, I saw that those concubines and sisters-in-law were not easy to get along with, and I was worried that you would not marry well." Now it seems that I have been overly worried. ”

He Angelica lowered his head and smiled, "Aunt Xie Lian cares, it's my luck to find such a gentleman." ”

Concubine Xu put away her smile and pretended to be displeased, "The most important thing for the concubine in the palace is you, I miss you day and night, but you have walked in a chic manner, and you have never sent back the letter to the family." ”

He Angelica felt guilty, but he couldn't find an excuse to confess, so he had to change the topic and ask: "What about the younger disciple?" I haven't seen him for a long time, and once I went to Temple Street and got three darts, and I thought it was very suitable for him, and I never had a chance to give him it. ”

"Huh?" Concubine Xu narrowed her eyes and asked in a lengthened voice, "Zichen has darts, what do I have?" ”

"Uh......"

He Angelica broke out a drop of sweat, because she had never encountered anything suitable for Concubine Xu, and she had not bought a gift. Meng Xuan poked her lightly without a trace, and motioned for her to look at the flower garden on the left, where there were large and gorgeous cockscombs. The cockscomb flower is too blunt for ordinary women, but with the heroic Concubine Xu, it shines brightly.

He Angelica walked to the flower garden, chose a corolla of moderate size, half-tiptoed, inserted it into Concubine Xu's black bun, and blinked flatteringly: "Aunt Lian, don't pull a face, I don't want to bring you a gift, but every time I think of the dowry cage you prepared for me, the pearl treasures and satin cloth in it are both famous and unfamous." When I look at that precious mountain, everything else has become mundane, how can I be embarrassed to bring it to you? ”

"Then the cockscomb is not a vulgar thing?"

"Well, this cockscomb flower is pretty on the branches, although it is not as beautiful as Aunt Lian, Gou is new, and it is new every day, but it is very new in the three hours under the new picking, and it can barely set off your good temperament." He Angelica patted the horse seriously.

Concubine Xu said with a smile: "Where did you learn this set of skills, just like a man." ”

At this time, a father-in-law and a grandmother came over, the father-in-law talked to Meng Xuan, and the grandmother said to Concubine Xu, all of which were whispered in a suppressed voice.

Meng Xuan listened to the silence for a moment, and then whispered to He Angelica: "King Yan is looking for me to talk, I'll go for a trip." You are here to talk to the princess, and when I come back, be careful...... You have to be on guard against everyone. ”

"Got it, so do you."

Meng Xuan was still a little uneasy, and wanted to tell her more, but Concubine Xu had already walked over, and there was a little ridicule in the smiles of the two. He Angelica pushed Meng Xuan, "Go quickly, talk to King Yan's father-in-law, don't let your father-in-law wait for a long time." Meng Xuan looked at her deeply and left.

Concubine Xu sighed lightly: "It's good to be young, Aunt Lian has also been young." ”

He Angelica said with a smile: "Aunt Lian's words are bad, young or not, it's all in one heart. Besides, when it comes to appearance, you don't have anything to do with the word 'old'. ”

"I'm talking from the heart." Concubine Xu frowned, distracted, "Even if I can keep my heart myself, I can't control the ambition of the prince." ”

"Father-in-law's ...... Ambition? ”

"Yes, a heart of ambition that grows bigger and bigger. There was a group of people around him, watering and fertilizing that heart every day, making him have all kinds of unreasonable thoughts, and gradually, even I couldn't speak. I'm really worried about the prince. ”

He Angelica listened silently, and suddenly asked: "In the dowry that Aunt Lian prepared for me last time, there was no 'big change', right?" ”

Concubine Xu was puzzled: "What living person?" ”

He Angelica nodded, hooked his lips and said, "Yes, my father-in-law has probably moved the Meng family's mind since then." He hid a spy in a dowry box and carried it into the Meng family together, wanting the spy to integrate into the Meng family unconsciously. But I was found out, and I was in a lot of trouble. ”

Concubine Xu had no doubt about He Angelica's words, and asked eagerly: "That spy, where is he now?" ”

He Angelica replied truthfully: "He is still in prison, and he is raised for nothing." My Uncle Lu tortured him once, but he didn't ask for any useful confession, and he was probably a dead man. ”

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Jiang Pi leading the way in front, followed by Lu Jiangbei, walking this way. It seems that Lu Jiangbei finally took the time to see Forgetfulness, but he came too late, and the float carrying the Forgetfulness Body had been gone for a long time.

Lu Jiangbei came over and didn't say anything to inquire about the whereabouts of his forgetfulness, but he stared at Concubine Xu's face and was extremely shocked.

"You, it's actually your ......"
