Sent out of Xiu, King Mu returned to the palace where the banquet was held, Emperor Nie and the first queen and one concubine had dispersed, and the other two princes did not know where to go, only Nie Peixiao sat alone in the same place, his thin lips pursed, silent, which was frustrated and cold that he had never seen.

Never, even when he was fished out of the cellar of King Mu's Mansion that night, it was not as good as now.

After all, he was ashamed, King Mu stood at the gate of the palace and muttered for a moment before saying, "I just want you to see the facts clearly...... It's time for you to break this mind. ”

Nie Peixiao remained silent and sat like petrified, and the frustration and sadness slowly attacked, which was impossible to ignore. King Mu remembered that in the past, when the two brothers had a dispute, they always liked to fight, and Ye Guifei once joked that it was "to solve the problem by force". At this moment, he also hopes that Nie Peixiao can have the strength to punch, no matter how many punches he has to take, he will suffer it for life.

King Mu asked himself that he has always been very close to this ninth brother, even if he goes into battle to kill the enemy, he trusts and protects each other with his life, but now, for the sake of a woman, there will be a gap between siblings. He thought that Nie Peixiao didn't understand it now, but one day he should understand his good intentions.

After being silent for a long time, King Mu took the lead in explaining: "Jing Duo, Luan Shu and I are a lesson from the past. You and Mrs. Xiu had no relationship in the past, and now with your status as the two of you, it is even more impossible. ”

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao's petrified figure finally moved. With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he slowly looked up at the seventh brother he admired the most: "So, you already knew that she was Han Chu?" But you keep it from me? ”

King Mu was silent and acquiesced.

With a "snap", Nie Peixiao broke a pair of chopsticks in his hand, got up angrily and asked: "You know that I wrote "Zhu Xian Break" for her, and you also know that she is Hanchu!" Why didn't you tell me? How many times have I been to Yanlan City? You never mentioned it! ”

"What's the use of telling?" King Mu replied in a condensed voice: "It was only after Yun Ci's death that I learned that Mrs. Chuxiu was Han Chu...... Tell you what you can change? Jingduo, you just like her beauty and talent, this woman is too powerful, she is not suitable for you. ”

"What do I like about her, Seventh Brother, you don't understand. What kind of person she is, I'll see for myself. Nie Peixiao retorted coldly: "She is powerful or weak, she was forced by you!" Just like tonight, if she hadn't resisted, she would have been stabbed to death by you and Ming Zhen alone! ”

"Warlord!" King Mu frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?" Do you know how capable she is? Even I've been counted more than once...... Last time, she ...... for Shen Yu"

"Brother Qi still doesn't think there are enough hats for her?" Nie Peixiao's eyes were scarlet, and her hands were clenched into fists: "Shen Yu is her savior!" Doesn't she know how to repay her kindness? Even if she and Shen Yu have anything, if you press down a chastity archway, there will be nothing! ”

"You forgot to be in Yanlan City, what did you promise me?" King Mu asked in a deep voice, and pressed every sentence: "You left the jade flute, and said that you just liked her beauty, and you have your own sense of proportion in what to do." Have you forgotten all these words? ”

"One time, another time." Nie Peixiao immediately retorted: "If you had told me the truth earlier, Seventh Brother...... I'm not going to get to that point! ”

"To what point?" King Mu suddenly found that he had underestimated Nie Peixiao's thoughts, and now that he looked at it, he seemed to be unable to extricate himself.

Nie Peixiao didn't reply again, the green tendons on her forehead were exposed, and she tried her best to restrain the anger in her chest. He stepped out of the table, walked out the door without saying a word, and did not stop for a moment as he walked past King Mu.

"Where are you going on Chinese New Year's Eve?" King Mu dragged Nie Peixiao with all his might: "Jing Duo, you are sober, don't mess around." ”

"I'm not sober? Am I messing around? Nie Peixiao seemed to have heard something funny, and looked directly at her with red eyes: "She is only nineteen years old!" If you let her stay widowed for the rest of her life, isn't it nonsense? Isn't it cruel? ”

Nie Peixiao struggled to shake off the sleeves that were being pulled, and smiled desperately and sarcastically: "For the sake of power, you are all crazy!" With that, he hurried away.

*****

It was three o'clock when I came out of Yingyuan Palace and rushed back to Liuyun Villa. As soon as they entered the village, Yun Xian and the others hurried out to greet them, each with concern on their faces.

There was a moment of tears in her eyes, and her eyes slowly crossed everyone's faces: Yun Xian, Luan Qing, Danxin, Xiangrong, and ...... Shen Yu. At this moment, she knew that everyone's concern was not pretended.

Or Yun Xian asked first, "How is my sister-in-law?" No one in the palace embarrasses you, right? ”

Izuku shook his head slowly: "No, I'm fine." ”

"What did Emperor Tongsheng let you into the palace?" Yun Xian asked again.

Izuku was stunned, and subconsciously didn't want to tell what happened tonight. Especially, it is the archway of chastity, if Shen Yu knows......

Izumi didn't dare to think about it, so he said: "It's nothing, it's just a reward, and there will be a will in about a year." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Yun Xian didn't believe it.

"Didn't I come back well? What else are you worried about? Izu Xiu covered his mouth and smiled: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Nie will not take my life at this time." ”

"Phew! Madame, what are you talking about? Danxin immediately answered: "It's good to come back!" We're all scared to death. ”

"Don't let me say 'die', you say it yourself!" Izuku scolded with a smile, looked at the sky, and said, "It's almost time, what are you doing standing still, go back to the house and keep the New Year!" ”

The crowd flocked into the hall again, and Izuku walked in front, one foot had just stepped into the room, and his figure paused, and he stopped in front of the door—the table was full of feasts, and the dishes and chopsticks were neatly laid out, and there was no sign of moving the chopsticks.

Yun Xian saw that Xiu was stunned at the door, so he smiled behind her back: "Sister-in-law is the backbone, if you don't come back, we won't dare to move the chopsticks." ”

At this point, tonight Izuku finally shed a tear of sincerity. is different from the hypocrisy in Yingyuan Palace, this is a sincere touch. I think that when I was first straightened out, I didn't see the contempt in the eyes of the third master Yunxian, nor did I not see the indifference in Luan Qing's eyes......

These disturbing gossip has finally achieved her achievements today. She took the Yun family on the right path and chose the right person, which was not only recognized by Mrs. Tai, but also respected by these people...... The three words "backbone" in Yun Xian's mouth are comparable to a thousand words of praise and praise.

In an instant, Izumi felt that all the grievances and criticisms she had suffered were nothing, and she could laugh at the frightening night banquet in Yingyuan Palace tonight, she took a deep breath and held back her tears before looking back and laughing: "You feel sorry for me, knowing that I haven't eaten enough in the palace." ”

Danxin is a discerning person, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go to hot dishes, added a few new dishes, and hurriedly went to the dumplings. When a plate of dumplings was served, she didn't forget to introduce: "This jade ice shrimp filling is made by me; This vegetarian stuffing is the ...... of the third lady's bag."

Izumi looked at a few plates of crooked dumplings, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Won't this be poisonous?" ”

Luan Qing bowed her head in embarrassment and said, "It should be ...... There won't be. It's okay to eat. ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed around the table, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was also extremely lively. After the feast, the hour was almost over, and the people wandered around the garden for a while.

Yun Xiangrong didn't know why he was very unenergetic, and kept rubbing his eyes when he walked around the garden. Seeing her like this, Izumi was concerned: "Tired? Why don't you go to the house and take a nap, and the time is over. ”

"No, I don't. I can hold on. Yun wanted to be strong, but after a while, she couldn't help it, so she had to be helped into the house by the maid to rest.

Not long after, Yun Xian and Luan Qing also shouted sleepy one after another, but Xiu felt that she was in good spirits, and Shen Yu was also in the same spirit. She had some strange conjectures in her heart, and after sending Yun Xian and his wife away, she asked in a low voice: "You did something in the meal?" ”

Indifferently hurriedly shouted injustice: "Don't wronged the slave and maid, this matter has nothing to do with the slave and maid!" She also yawned: "Well, the slave is also sleepy, and she wants to take a nap." As he spoke, he didn't forget to wink at Chuxiu, and then glanced at the direction where Yun Xian and his wife left.

Out of Xiu immediately understood, it was Luan Qing! She must have drugged a few people's drinks! What does this mean? Do you create opportunities for yourself and Shen Yu? Izuku lowered her eyebrows and smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling a little restrained and at a loss.

In a moment, there were really only the two of them left in the garden! Shen Yu looked very calm, stared at Izumi and asked with concern, "Go to Yingyuan Palace tonight, are you really okay?" ”

Izumi was shocked, remembered the archway of chastity, and hurriedly smiled: "Why do you come to ask one or two?" Seeing that I didn't break my hands and feet, you weren't happy? ”

It was probably because she did a good job in acting, Shen Yu seemed to believe it, and there was a little comfort in her deep and vast eyes, just like the golden light of the dangerous peak of absolute loneliness, and suddenly she calmed down.

Yes, now as long as he is good, he is better than anything else.

The two looked at each other for a while, and the faint lights in the garden shone on each other, leaving only a piece of warmth. Shen Yu looked at Chuxiu and saw a shallow smile on her lips, but for some reason, he only felt that the smile could not reach the bottom of her heart.

After returning from the banquet in Yingyuan Palace, Shen Yu felt that something had changed in Xiu, but he couldn't say it. Although she never mentioned what happened tonight, he could feel that she always avoided his gaze at the right time, and that kind of avoidance was not as flustered and helpless as before, but a little more deliberate and resolute.

Shen Yu couldn't guess what Xiu was thinking, she reminded him of the distant Qingfeng in the deep lake, the reflection was clear and clear, it seemed to be close in front of him, but in fact, the clouds were deep and he didn't know where.

Perhaps, this part of the story is really over. Whether they can continue to lead in the future depends on whether he cheers up or not, and how much he can achieve. And before that, he finally found out that seeing each other more time was just adding a little more embarrassment, and in fact, he was slowly wearing out each other's affection.

Seeing each other as if not seeing each other can make him die and come back to life. Thinking of this, Shen Yu also sighed: "You must be tired from entering the palace today, so go back and rest as soon as possible." I...... Go back first. ”

"Aren't you waiting for it?" Izuku blurted out.

Shen Yu's eyes sank, and she faintly revealed three points of frustration: "No, with you here, she will be able to go back safely...... I borrowed it tonight, and the more I borrowed on credit, the more I owed. ”

As soon as these words came out, Izuku already understood that Shen Yu really had to keep his promise - if he couldn't get ahead, he wouldn't see him again. Thinking like this, Izuku also felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but stare at the throat and say, "I'll send you." ”

"Okay." Knowing that there will be a period of time without seeing him, Shen Yu also cherishes this last bit very much. A year? Two years? Five years? Decade? He wasn't sure how long he could last, but after all, the story that belonged to Shen Xiaohou and Han Chu really came to an end tonight.
