Shen Yu's Letters...... I don't know what kind of mood I felt when I heard this, urgent? Throb? Disturbed? As if she suddenly had a feeling of "homesickness", she didn't dare to pick up the letter in Nie Peixiao's hand.

The momentary loss of consciousness was seen by Nie Peixiao, and her heart ached. If he still had a glimmer of hope before this, hoping that the relationship between Shen Yu and Izumi was just a simple relationship between the old master, then Izuxiu's performance at this moment had completely disillusioned his hope.

Nie Peixiao's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, he didn't want to lose his temper in front of Izuxiu, so he put the letter on the table and said, "He went to the Criminal Department to report last month. ”

"The Criminal Department?" Izumi was surprised: "Even if he doesn't bring troops, he should go to the military department, how can he ......?"

"It's Brother Qi's decision." Nie Peixiao said: "Seventh Brother is going to start dealing with the Ming clan, let him take the lead, and then the purging of the remaining party and the raid of the house will probably fall on his head." ”

King Mu's decision? Izuku was a little flustered in her heart, and she had a faint sense of foreboding. The Ming clan is a descendant in any case, and the right minister Ming Cheng is also considered to be in power for a while, and they all say that "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", this stall pushed Shen Yu out, isn't this using him as a gunman! How could the Ming clan let him go!

"You don't have to worry about Zifeng, in fact, it's a beautiful difference." Nie Peixiao saw that Chuxiu did not hide his worry, and while he was sad, he also felt sorry for her: "Now the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is promoted by the Right Minister, and his son-in-law Helian Qi is also the servant of the Criminal Department, which means that the entire Criminal Department is under the control of the Ming family." Zifeng went to the Criminal Department to do things for Seventh Brother, and if he did this well, the power of the Ming clan would be uprooted. ”

Nie Peixiao saw that General Xiu was suspicious, and continued: "If Zifeng can torture and force out some inside information, Seventh Brother will only reward him, and will never kill him...... Now that the seventh brother is in power at the beginning, he is also eager to seek talent, as long as Zifeng works hard, the seventh brother will not treat him badly. ”

"I hope so." Now, it's too late to stop it. Izumi only blamed himself for being busy with Zhuying's marriage during this time, and he was sick, and he was careless about Shen Yu's affairs for a while, so he went to such a cusp of the storm.

"This is the way of the official career, if you want to be wise and protect yourself and pursue the mean, you will not be able to achieve anything in your life. If Zifeng wants to revive the lintel, he must take a risk. Nie Peixiao comforted Xiu: "Don't worry, madam, I will pay attention to this matter." ”

Izuxiu's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, you don't have to worry about your uncle's affairs, and the concubine is ......."

"Zifeng is also my friend," Nie Peixiao heard this, knew what he meant, and immediately explained, "Even if there is no relationship with Mrs., I will not sit idly by and ignore him." ”

The other party's words have come to this point, and if he refuses, he will seem to be self-inflicted, but Izumi still feels uneasy for Shen Yu: "His temperament is actually not suitable for a career in office, and it is more reassuring to go out to lead the troops." Now that he is going to the Criminal Department to get this trick of power, and he is still dealing with the Ming family, he is really teaching people to sweat for him. ”

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao smiled a little bitterly: "Madame can't help but underestimate him, after the raid of the Marquis Wenchang's mansion, do you still think he is just a son and brother who eats, drinks and has fun?" What to do and what to say, he has already figured it out. ”

"In that case, please ask Your Highness to mention him more." Izumi only smiled.

Nie Peixiao said "um", thought about it and said: "But he just went to the Criminal Department on the third day, and he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the waiter of the Criminal Department......" He observed Xiu's expression as he spoke, and sure enough, he saw her change color in an instant.

The squire of the criminal department? Isn't it Helenzi? Shen Yu: What is this going to do? Haven't made a move yet? Izumi was a little annoyed with him, and she hated him so much that she was eager to know the inside story: "Your Highness knows...... Uncle, why is he having trouble with Lord Helian? ”

"I heard it's for a woman." Nie Peixiao stared at Chuxiu, unwilling to let her react in the slightest: "They were discussing in the house alone, and then they had a big fight...... For this reason, both of them were reprimanded, and even the seventh brother knew about it. ”

When Nie Peixiao said this, she deliberately stopped, saw that Xiu's face was white, and then explained: "Helian Qi is a civil official, not as good as Zifeng Kung Fu, Madame don't have to worry." ”

The two of them fought for a woman? Which woman could it be for?! Izuku can roughly guess the inside story, Helian Qi has always been polite and polite, and this matter must have been provoked by Shen Yu first. As for why Shen Yu provoked trouble, she didn't have to ask anymore.

Chu Xiu raised her eyes and looked at Nie Peixiao: "Your Highness told the concubine about this, what do you mean?" ”

What do you mean? Nie Peixiao was so embarrassed that even he didn't know what he meant. Maybe...... Just looking for a topic to talk to her a little more? Or, do you want to test her heart for Shen Yu?

Nie Peixiao couldn't say clearly. In the face of Izumi, he was like a hairy boy who had just set foot in love, with clumsy words and impulsive recklessness.

He didn't reply to Xiu's question, and at this time, the sound of rain outside was getting more and more intense, and there was a faint tendency to evolve into a pouring rain. Izuku glanced out of the door again and asked, "King Mu hasn't come yet?" ”

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Nie Peixiao had to say truthfully: "Seventh Brother didn't come back, it was me who used a little trick to see my wife." ”

A little trick? Even the Yun Clan's secret guards were deceived? Izuku sighed coldly: "Your Highness's move is really ......"

"Childish." Nie Peixiao didn't wait for Xiu to finish speaking, she had already taken over the conversation, and then laughed at herself: "I know, my method is not very interesting, it is very naïve." But if I don't use Seventh Brother as an excuse, you won't be willing to see me, madam. ”

Out of Xiu no longer looked at Nie Peixiao, only looked out the window lightly: "What does Your Highness want to say?" ”

"I just wanted to apologize to Madame." Nie Peixiao said: "That night...... It's me who is too abrupt. ”

"If it's for this, Your Highness doesn't have to. The concubine has already said that this matter has passed, and the concubine has forgotten everything. Izuxiu's eyebrows seemed to show a shallow smile, and there was an indifference that saw through the world: "Since His Royal Highness has come to preach this will, he must have let it go." ”

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao pondered for a moment: "It's not that I put it down, but now I have figured it out, whether there is that archway or not, it can't stop my mind." He picked up Shen Yu's letter again, walked to Chuxiu and handed it to her, and said very firmly: "No matter who Madame has in her heart, Helian Qi, Yun Ci, or Shen Yu, I have made up my mind, and I will not retreat again." ”

"Your Highness should remember what the concubine said." Izuku stretched out his hand to take Shen Yu's letter, held it in his hand and said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, we have already made it very clear. ”

"It's very clear." Nie Peixiao naturally won't forget: "That night, Mrs., you said, if I dare to marry you, I will come to express my intentions." This time I came to Yanlan City, I wanted to say to Mrs. that as long as Mrs. nodded, I would like to treat each other as a concubine. ”

"The position of the concubine?" Chuxiu finally turned his eyes to look at Nie Peixiao, and saw that his attitude was serious and not like lying, and he felt even more incredulous: "But Ye Guifei and Mu Wang ......"

"It's not a problem." Nie Peixiao looked down at the scar on her left hand, and her eyes showed a little softness: "I have my own way to make my mother and seventh brother nod; Mrs. Xie and the Yun family, I will also deal with it. As long as Madame wants to. ”

The last sentence is a plea to show love.

Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Izumi only felt a headache, she lowered her eyebrows and stroked her forehead, her eyes drooped, and she happened to see the letter in her hand. Shen Yu's Wei tablet font on the envelope was vigorous and elegant, like a fire burning her palm. She can't repay a person's infatuation, so why provoke another person?

The silver teeth bitten, and Xiu was ruthless: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's wrong love, but the concubine's body and mind have been decided." If you insist repeatedly, the concubine has no choice but to avoid you, like a stranger. ”

"Just like you did with Helenzi?" Nie Peixiao immediately asked.

"More than that." Out of Xiumei's eyes are clear, without half feelings, and she looks at him deeply.

The four eyes are facing each other, one is infatuated to the point of incorrigibility, and the other is absolutely beyond measure. In the end, Nie Peixiao was defeated, as long as he thought that Xiu would be a stranger to him in the future, and even more indifferent to Helianqi than he was to Helianqi, he felt heartbroken.

It's that he is pressing, slowly trying to figure it out, at least there is a chance.

"I see." Nie Peixiao's sharp silhouette seemed to have been sharpened off, leaving only a trace of cruelty: "I won't bother Madame anymore, but I ask Madame to remember me as a person, and the song "Zhu String Breaking" ......"

A noble and proud son is like him, and it is rare to show such humility. Out of Xiu couldn't bear to smell and look at it again, put Shen Yu's letter in her sleeve, and only lowered her eyes and said: "What should be remembered, the concubine will naturally remember; should be forgotten, and the concubine will not think about it again. Leave. ”

However, what should be remembered, what should be forgotten, and if she could really let her heart go, why should she be so embarrassed? The last sentence even felt far-fetched even by Izumi herself.

"It's raining too much, let's go later." Nie Peixiao couldn't hide the bitterness of being rejected, she just wanted to see her for a moment longer, and couldn't help but say something to save her.

Out of Xiu's mind for a moment, she caught a glimpse of the scar on the back of Nie Peixiao's hand out of the corner of her eye, and she only felt uncomfortable. If it is false to say that there is no trace of emotion, not to mention that he wrote a song "Zhu Xian Break" for her many years ago, sighing for her and regretting for her. If there is no such wrong love, maybe they will really become bosom friends, and talk about family and country affairs, music and rhythm, and piano and flute ensembles in their spare time.

The hesitation in his eyes flashed, for the song "Zhu Xian Breaking", and for Nie Peixiao's humble prayer, he couldn't open his mouth and say cruel words in the end. What's more, it was indeed pouring rain outside the window, and I was afraid that I would get wet even if I held an umbrella, so why bother to let the coachman and horses suffer?

Izumi pondered for a long time before saying, "That concubine has to bother for a while." ”

Nie Peixiao's heart suddenly rejoiced, only then did she realize that she was so low to the dust, and she could be so worried and pleading for her words. But who can say for sure in the relationship? Whoever falls in first is the loser.

Nie Peixiao disturbed her thoughts, and stretched out her hand to ask: "Madame, sit down, your tea is cold, I'll ask someone to change another cup for you." ”

Izuxiu felt that his move was redundant, but the word "unnecessary" had not yet been exported, but he heard a greeting sound outside the door, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley: "Lord Wang, it's raining outside and it's cold, I'll give you a cloak." ”

When I went out of Xiu to follow the prestige, I saw a graceful woman outside the door with a cloak in her hand, her eyebrows and eyes were light, and she was a little soft, and her cheeks were delicately red. Looking at her dress again, although she is not gorgeous and splendid, she is by no means an ordinary maidservant.

Out of Xiu looked at Nie Peixiao again, and happened to see that his face sank, and he scolded: "Who asked you to come?" ”

He only had one expression, one sentence, and Izumi immediately understood the identity of the woman in front of him. She must have been brought by Nie Peixiao from Jingzhou...... Concubine.
