Xi San, Xue Shizi had something to discuss with Zhongsun Xuan, so Shi Qinghe sent Xue Huiyu back to the Jinning Hou Mansion Courtyard, it seems that people are staying at home to celebrate the festival, as the night is getting thicker, there are not many pedestrians on the street, especially the residential area of the magnates, on the huge bluestone slab road, only Yue'er sometimes frolicks with the clouds.

Shi Qinghe silently walked with her to the courtyard of the Marquis of Jinning, standing in front of the solemn vermilion gold-dotted wooden door, he knocked rhythmically on the closed door, and when the little maid inside the door opened the door neatly, the colorful Kong Ming lanterns rose leisurely in the front yard, Xue Huiyu looked at the big words written on the lamps in disbelief - please marry me.

“！” Bright colors lit up the entire night sky, but Xue Huiyu's eyes were gradually blurred by water vapor.

Shi Qinghe looked at her intently and said, "Xue Si, I'm stupid, but I really like you, I like you at first sight, I want to marry you, I want to take care of you for a lifetime, maybe I'm not the best one in your heart, but I'm willing to be the one you think is closest to the best, no matter how long the years are or in the blink of an eye." I just want you to stay with me. ”

In his inky eyes, there was a serious sincerity that she could see, she remembered that when she was a child, someone looked at her like this, and said stupidly that she was so beautiful, but now that person has long since turned into dry bones, tears followed, she choked up, "I, I may not be able to expel the person in my heart for the rest of my life, maybe you can only be in the second place in my heart for the rest of your life——"

"That's okay." Shi Qinghe said, "As long as you are willing to let me be by your side, in the name of your husband." ”

Xue Huiyu's heart lake, which had been quiet for many years, seemed to be thrown into a boulder, his thoughts surged, and tears flowed down wantonly, he raised his hand and carefully wiped it away with the back of his fingers, he said: "You are so good, I shouldn't be worthy, but I can't bear to think of you being pointed out at an old age, and I can't bear to ......."

**

On a certain roof in the courtyard of the Marquis of Jinning's mansion, He Le'an looked at the sky with a smile and said enviously: "The general's mouth is stupid, but his mobility is very good, it's really beautiful." ”

Zhong Sun Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you like this?" ”

"I'm a woman, and I don't like it much, but if someone can put such thought out of me, I'll be glad of it." He Le'an pointed to those Kong Ming lanterns and said, "Look at it, those words are written one by one by the generals of the people's divisions, this heart is like putting it out." ”

"That is, coaxing simple and ignorant girls."

"Innocent and ignorant girls are so happy."

Zhong Sun Yue pinched her cheek and said, "It's too late for you to dislike me now, you can't return it." ”

"I won't return it, I can't let you harm other girls." He Le'an said, "It's just that I envy others." ”

"For their sake today, I won't steal their limelight, and in the future, I will give you Kong Ming lanterns all over the city, so that the night will be like day, and the stars will become colorful, so that people will envy you."

He Le'an couldn't help but smile, "I'm just casually saying, you don't have to take it seriously, the city is full of Kong Ming lanterns, and there will be chaos." "If you don't want to accidentally start a fire, you have to send someone to chase after Kong Ming Lantern to recover it, so as not to cause a catastrophe and make people criticize.

**

The next day, Prince and Princess Qian came forward as an elder and promised Xue Huiyu to Shi Qinghe, and the whole capital was a sensation, and everyone sighed that Miss Jinning Houfu either didn't marry, and it was a young and promising general who got married.

And at the banquet, people were talking, "I don't know what the general thinks, don't let my young and beautiful sister go." Unexpectedly, the old girl Xue Si, no matter how favored Prince Qian's mansion is now, the family of the Marquis of Jinning is still in the countryside, and their son has achieved nothing, and he doesn't want any official position, he is only willing to bring children to King Yuejun. ”

"If you say that the general has strange eyes, it is better to say that the king of Yuejun, he doesn't want to let everyone in the city show up, and he marries a lowly concubine as a concubine, and he doesn't even accept a concubine for so many years, I don't know what kind of drug He Liu and Xue Si have, and they are dizzy to eat."

"I heard that when I was in Fengzhou City, He Liu had the name of a demon girl, and killed many people, and the most implicated was Zhuo Yibo's Mansion, as we all know, her biological mother was from Zhuo Yibo's Mansion, but later her uncle confirmed that her biological mother was not born to Old Zhuo Yibo and Mrs. Zhuo Yibo, and I don't know where to pick up the wild seeds."

"Eleventh sister, you have gone too far." The girl sitting next to He Lehuan frowned disapprovingly.

He Lehuan sneered, "What do you know about your little family, and don't look at how many people He Liu killed in Fengzhou City, and came back from victory at the border pass, then the sins she has done can be counted and counted, old Zhuo Yibo, I don't know, but everyone in Fengzhou City knows that He and Shao Yingxiu were both killed by her, but there was a fight, but she viciously wanted to put people to death!" ”

"Since you have sent someone to Fengzhou City to investigate, then why don't you tell everyone the fact that Shao Yingxiu has repeatedly tried to murder me?" He Le'an stepped out of the courtyard door slowly, looked at He Lehuan indifferently and said, "Or Miss He, do you think it's okay for her to bully me as a concubine, and it's a big mistake for me to fight back with a concubine?" ”

"She is a girl from the Bofu, first teamed up with her mother to frame me for blame, and then deliberately disfigured me in front of everyone, and then asked for my life in the hairpin building, I just handed her over to the law to deal with, and the punishment sentence was set by each adult in turn in accordance with the rules of my court, Miss He now means, is it that the adults have misjudged this case?"

When He Lewan was about to retort sharply, a young woman standing on the other side hurriedly said, "Princess Yuejun misunderstood-"

"What a misunderstanding." He Le'an interrupted, "She kept counting me, I asked and I misunderstood, the good and the bad have been said by you, why do you need me to do the law, just let you be the judge of the judgment." ”

"You don't have to deliberately put the accusation on my head. You know what you've done yourself! He Lewan snorted coldly.

He Le'an smiled, "Yes, I'm just ruthless, they never let me feel better, why should I repay them with virtue and spare them again and again!" He Lehuan, if you don't care about your mouth that loves to spread rumors at every turn, don't blame me for ignoring that little bit of affection and handing you over to the law. ”

He Lehuan wanted to say something, but the young woman hurriedly came over and grabbed her arm, pressed her neck, asked her to make amends, and said, "Princess Yuejun." Don't be annoyed, Eleven is only deceived by the villain, and she will only say these words after listening to slander, please give her another chance, we will teach her a good lesson when we go back, and don't tell her to talk nonsense again! ”

He Le'an glanced at the young woman, "Then please ask Second Lady Ling to remember what she said today, in my place, there are no more than three things, she has already targeted me like this for the third time, and when he is about to be executed and punished, he will bother everyone present to testify." I'm ruthless, yes, and it doesn't matter if I'm ruthless, but I never wronged or punished anyone wrong for no reason. ”

She turned around and wanted to go elsewhere, but she saw that at some point, Prince Rui and a few young sons were standing at the gate of the courtyard, and there were Xue Huiyu and Xue Shizi and Shi Qinghe, and Prince Rui smiled at her: "I would like to testify for my cousin and daughter-in-law, there is no rule in the world who is bullied, and who can't fight back, what about the concubine, if it's wrong, it's wrong." ”

"That's right, what about humble origins. Those who cling to other people's origins are unwilling to believe in the success of others, and can only be jealous and resentful, and they are useless garbage. Shi Qinghe said lightly, "Nobility does not lie in the concubine, but in the ability to change the fate of the day after tomorrow and stand tall, the road is walked by people, those who have no actual merits for our country are nonsense, Princess Yuejun does not have to care too much." ”

He Lehuan was very embarrassed by their repeated slaps in the face, especially the surrounding bullying and fearing hard, and seeing that the people with higher status were on He Le'an's side, they fell to whichever side. In an instant, the whispers around her were all pointing at her, and what made her even more annoyed was that at this time, Chu Moran and Yin Yishan came.

Her face quickly turned red, hatred kept pouring out of her heart, He Lingshi, who was standing next to her, hurriedly grabbed her hand, lowered her voice and persuaded, "Eleven, don't you come nonsense anymore, do you really want to be the next Meng Duojiao!" The Marquis of Jianing Mansion will not allow you to make such nonsense again and again! You don't want to think about yourself, you think about your mother! ”

He Lehuan glared hatefully at He Le'an, who was talking to Prince Rui, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fourth sister, she was the one who hurt the eldest sister, you know-"

"What I know better is that it was the eldest sister who designed to harm others first, stealing chickens and rice, and teaching herself to fall into the field." He Lingshi said calmly, "Don't be as confused as your eldest sister, drill the horns, no matter how she becomes the princess of Yuejun, it is also her ability, you are envious, then you can also work hard to become someone else's princess, what's the use of her!" ”

"Again and again, you will only look despicable, ugly, and make others laugh!" He Ling said, "She is now honored, do you think it was really won by herself, it is not the king of Yuejun, you are against the king of Yuejun, against the entire Prince Qian's mansion, have you ever thought about what danger you put in the Marquis of Jianing!" ”

"Mother has loved you since she was a child, not to teach you to push the Jianing Marquis Mansion to the guillotine! Think before you act! He Ling said, "Don't be stimulated by the eldest sister's nonsense, and don't think deeply, if she doesn't harm others first, how can others do it, not to mention that there is no evidence to prove that He Liu took revenge on her, in the end, she can't live because of her own sin!" ”

He Lewan looked at He Ling's in disbelief, "Fourth sister, how can you say that eldest sister, her happiness was ruined by He Le'an, she was ruined by the gangsters, and she was ruined by the gangsters. We're sisters! ”

"She admitted it herself, it was she who bribed the maid to make people hurt He Liu like this, why don't you empathize, if it is He Liu who is ruined in front of everyone's eyes, you will pity her a little, not because of the unwillingness in her heart and obsessed, but because of the jealousy in her heart, if you don't listen to the lesson, don't blame my mother for sending you out of the city to avoid the limelight!"

He Ling said, "I don't want to see you being hung and beaten under the city wall one day!" ”

**

In the kitchen of Prince Qian's Taketori Courtyard, He Le'an was preparing breakfast. Zhong Sun Yue came in a bright red dress and said, "Today is the first day of the new year, the meal is ready, let's bring it to my mother." ”

"Okay." He Le'an evenly distributed the meal into portions for two people, firstly, because he was afraid that he would not have enough to eat, and secondly, even if he wasted it, it was nothing, so he packed it with exquisite dishes according to the usual amount, placed it on a tray, and served it by Zhong Sunyue himself.

And when they went to the Buddha Hall, Zhong Sun Xuan was already there, and was talking to Prince Qian and Princess Qian, He Le'an and Zhong Sun Yue asked for peace. Zhong Sun Yue put the meal on the small coffee table, handed the chopsticks to his mother, and said: "Mother should not just sit and lie in the room, when the weather is good, you might as well go out to the yard for a walk, in early autumn, the wind is cool." ”

"Mother knows, you don't have to worry about mother, I didn't like to be lively before, but now I like to be quiet." Princess Qian said, she took the chopsticks and took a few bites. And he said to them,

"If you have free time, you can take the boy and the general who shouted Huiyu to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to have a look, pick some seasonal fruits and vegetables, stay for a few days, relax, don't always frown—" Before the words fell, Prince and Princess Qian suddenly covered her heart in pain, vomited and spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and before she could moan in pain, the person had already fallen!

"Mother!" Zhong Sun Xuan and Zhong Sun Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and He Le'an instructed the maid to Xuan Tai Doctor. But Zhongsun Xuan probed the snort of Prince Qian, but cried out heartbreakingly, "Mother!! ”

Even Zhong Sun Yue looked at Prince Qian who fell in his arms in disbelief, he stretched out his fingers tremblingly, wanting to find out Prince Qian's snort, but Zhong Sun Xuan suddenly said to He Le'an: "He Le'an, what did you give my mother!" How could she suddenly die after eating your stuff! ”

He Le'an was stunned by the questioning, shook his head and said, "No, no, it's all ordinary things." I, I-"

"Zhongsun Xuan! Are you confused! How could it be An'er! Zhongsun Yue said with a cold face, "You can suspect anyone, but you can't doubt my wife!" ”

"You!" Zhong Sun Xuan pointed at Zhong Sun Yue's nose in disbelief and said, "Zhong Sun Yue, you still have no humanity!" Taketori is your place, and it is impossible for the servants of the palace I manage to be bought, and the things are cooked by her, not her problem, will it be the problem of your own son! So far, you still have to help her? ”

Zhongsun Xuan said, "I have heard others say it a long time ago. She's always eye-to-eyed with Prince Rui, and she can't tell—"

"You, shut up, mouth!" Zhongsun Yue frowned and said, "I'm also sad that something happened to my mother, but An'er will never betray me, let alone murder our mother, if you say that she is not, don't blame me-"

"What's the matter, you still want to kill my big brother for her now!?" Zhongsun Xuan was furious.

Zhongsun Yue said, "You calm down!" ”

"My mother was killed by her, how do you tell me to calm down!" Zhongsun Xuan pulled out the soft sword on his waist and pointed it at He Le Andao. "We treat you sincerely, and we don't think you're—"

"Zhongsun Xuan!!" Zhongsun Yue was also angry, "Don't point your sword at her!" He carefully put down the gradually cold Prince Qian, grabbed the blade of the sword and said, "Before the imperial doctor comes, before the matter is clear, I don't allow you to doubt her!" Blood instantly fell down the tip of the sword.

"Luminous!" He Le'an grabbed his arm painfully, she straightened her waist to meet Zhongsun Xuan's indifferent gaze and said, "I am Yeming's wife, his brother is my brother, and his mother is also my mother, how could I murder her, you can suspect me, but before there is no evidence that I did it, can you please calm down?" ”

The imperial doctor came in a panic, and after taking the pulse of Prince Qian, he knelt down with a frightened face, "Princess Qian, she, she has been poisoned, it has been-" After saying that, the whole person trembled like a sieve.

Zhongsun Xuan coldly ordered, "You check and check, but it's a problem with those meals!" ”

The imperial doctor stood up tremblingly, and after a careful examination, he found that it was the problem with the chopsticks, and as soon as the words fell, Zhong Sun Xuan's sword brush stained with Zhong Sun Yue's blood pointed at He Le'an, "And said that it wasn't you!" ”

He Le'an said calmly, "The chopsticks were indeed made by me, but the material is agarwood, or is it given by His Majesty, how could it be——"

"You still want to quibble!" Zhong Sun Xuan said that, he had already stabbed at He Le'an, and Zhong Sun Yue pushed away with a palm:

"There must be some misunderstanding in this, don't be unreasonable, hold on to An'er!"

Zhongsun Xuan said angrily, "Zhongsun Yue, she murdered our mother!" I don't know why you believe her so much, but my spy said that she had eyebrows with Prince Rui several times, and when there was an accident at the Prime Minister's Mansion banquet before, Prince Rui and her were still hugging in the corner! ”

"I don't allow you to slander An'er!" Zhong Sun Yue raised his hand and waved a palm and hit Zhong Sun Xuan's shoulder, but Zhong Sun Xuan avoided it, and the two brothers fought, and He Le'an, who didn't know martial arts, couldn't stop him, and the imperial doctor was so scared that he fainted directly, so she had to say:

"Aomori, stop them!"

Correct. Before the secret guard sent to her by Zhong Sun Yue appeared, Zhong Sun Xuan's guards rushed over and suppressed her, Zhong Sun Yue turned around and threw a palm at the guard, so Zhong Sun Yue stabbed a sword in the left abdomen, He Le'an and Zhong Sun Yue both looked at Zhong Sun Xuan in disbelief.

"Luminous!" He Le'an cried urgently, struggling to restrain and was about to rush towards him, but she saw a strange smile flashing on Zhong Sun Yue's lips, only to see him stab the blade of Zhong Sun Yue's left abdomen, and stab it hard, and the blood that spurted out was black and red. Soon Zhong Sun Yue fell in a pool of blood, "You, Zhong Sun Xuan, you designed it, why!" ”

Zhongsun Xuan looked at her indifferently, "Come on, take this demon woman who murdered Prince Qian's princess down!" ”

"Luminous! Luminous! He Le'an looked at Zhong Sun Yue, who was motionless in the pool of blood, for fear that he would also lose his breath like Prince Qian, but no matter how hard she tried to struggle, she couldn't struggle with the guard's brutal strength, and she was still dragged down and locked in a dim cell after all. Before he could react, he was tied to a wooden frame and ruthlessly whipped by the guards!

They asked her one by one why she murdered Prince Qian, but even if her skin was open, she didn't say a word until she almost fainted in pain, and said in a familiar voice, "Stop!" ”

She opened her eyes blurred by tears with difficulty, and her trembling eyes saw Xue Shizi open the execution guards with one palm, and when she walked to her side to untie her, Zhongsun Xuan appeared, and he said indifferently: "Xue Zileng." What do you want? She is the convict woman who poisoned and murdered my mother, so that my aunt, who loved you since childhood, has passed away! ”

"It can't be her." Xue Zileng said categorically, "It will never be He Le'an." ”

Zhongsun Xuan smiled coldly: "I really don't know what kind of drug she was taken by you and Ah Yue, one is like this, and the two are like this, Ah Yue witnessed her mother die in front of her, but she still didn't believe that she murdered her mother, and you, who didn't know anything, actually believed her!" ”

"But, to no avail, I have already brought her guilt before Your Majesty. She's going to be beheaded in front of the door later. ”

Xue Zileng looked at Zhongsun Xuan for a moment and said, "You are no longer the Zhongsun Xuan I know." ”

Zhongsun Xuan said indifferently, "I have no father, and now I don't have a mother, and my brother's life and death are still unknown, why don't you teach me how to be as calm as before?" ”

"I'm going to take her away." Xue Zileng replied.

"Even if the disaster affects the Marquis of Jinning? Do you insist on doing the same? A touch of complexity quickly flashed in Zhongsun Xuan's eyes, and he saw the man in front of him who was no longer cynical and said:

"Before I came here, I had already written a letter of severance and handed it to Huiyu, and I am no longer from the Marquis of Jinning's mansion." Xue Zileng said, "I want to take her away, just because I believe in her, I will wash away this grievance for her." ”

"She's your cousin's wife!"

"It's because she's my cousin's important wife that I can't let her die." Xue Zileng sucked up the sword on the waist of the fallen guard with internal force, easily split the hemp rope that bound He Le'an, and hugged the person who was about to fall to the ground.

Zhongsun Xuan said, "If you want to take her out of here, you have to kill me first-"

Staggered, Xue Zileng's sword still left two points of leeway, but Zhong Sun Xuan was a trick to kill him, and suddenly several smoke bombs smashed in, and the smoke blocked the vision, someone instead of Xue Zileng stopped Zhong Sun Xuan in the cell, and took advantage of Xue Zileng's departure, before the smoke dispersed, quickly fled the scene.

"He Liu, no matter what, for Ah Yue, for the sake of the baboon and the spring rolls, you have to hold on." Xue Zileng hugged He Le'an, who was already unconscious, and followed He Le'an, who was fished out of the pool of blood, galloped on the eaves with light skills, and rushed towards the outside of the city, and the cold person in his arms gradually became hot.
