"Madam, Du Gongzi died of excessive drinking!" Hua Tanrong approached Yan's side and said word by word, as if there was a fire burning in his eyes.

Yan was angry and sad, and almost fainted by this sentence, but fortunately, the maid behind her quickly helped her, and she didn't fall.

After Hua Tanrong finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving behind a stunned crowd. Murong Yening had always looked at all this coldly, and she was undoubtedly the clearest one among them. It was she who sent a folding fan with a hidden poem to Hua Tanrong, and it was she who asked for Du Qing'an's life. And Hua Tanrong used beauty as bait, drunk Du Gongzi, and then poured several jars of wine while he was fainting, covering his mouth and nose, and suffocating him alive. Therefore, strictly speaking, Du Gongzi died of suffocation. It's a pity that even the imperial doctor in the palace can't detect it, because he did drink too much wine before his death.

After mourning, the Murong Mansion and his party drove back to their homes. Although Mrs. Du's heart was a little heavy, she couldn't stay for a while, so she had to say goodbye to her cousin and Yan reluctantly. Murong Yening still returned to the drunken pavilion and lived a life of spending money.

After Hua Tianrong's private invasion of Du's funeral hall, Du Qing'an's reputation plummeted again in the capital. Yan was shocked by this, and his already delicate body could no longer bear a serious illness. Mrs. Du also mourned the death of her nephew for a long time, but she restrained a lot. made Murong Yening also have a relaxed life for a while, but it did not live up to his painstaking planning.

However, Murong Yening's good life didn't last long. Because, the Li family came to propose marriage again.

"What kind of heart does this Lord Li have, my cousin has just passed away, and he has no scruples about asking to marry me for his precious son at this time!" Murong Ye Ning hated it so much that his teeth itched.

However, Du Qing'an is only Murong Yening's nominal cousin, Mrs. Du is Murong Da's stepfamily, and Murong Yening is a legitimate concubine, so he only needs to make superficial things with Du Fu. Don't say it's Du Qing'an, even if the old lady of Du Mansion dies, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't need to keep a day of filial piety for this. Therefore, it is understandable that the Li Mansion came to propose marriage at this time. If the object of the proposal is Murong Wanxin, you still need to worry about three points, and the other party is Murong Yening, this is very different. However, according to the usual practice, big families like the Li family are more concerned about fortune, and they will worry a little about this kind of thing, and postpone it for a while. Therefore, Murong Yening couldn't help but infinitely magnify this trace of unusualness in his heart, and even smelled a hint of conspiracy.

On the other side, Jin Kun, who was named Wo Yuan, made some progress on the news that Murong Yening was going to buy at this time. However, after receiving the secret letter from his subordinates, he frowned, thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote a short sentence on the silk cloth: "Xu Yeyang, in July of the thirteenth year of Hongli, traveled with his uncle and encountered a riot of displaced people in Anyang, and his life and death are unknown. The man in white beside him whistled briskly, only to see a fine-colored Wushan snow flying over from the pavilion next to him. Good baby, it's time to do something for this young master again! Yubi placed the silk cloth in the inconspicuous tube on its lap. The full-looking Wushan snow turned out to be a carrier pigeon!

Jin Kun stood in front of the window, watching the well-trained carrier pigeons gradually merge with the vast twilight, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Brother Jin, why do you have such a look?"

"I just didn't expect that one day I, the Purple Gold Pavilion, would say something hypocritical to protect myself......"

"Brother Jin, what are these words! We have never been afraid of anything, even if it is the news of the emperor's old son, we have never taken it too seriously! It's just that now it's chaos, he is also alive and dead, and even the emperor doesn't know the secrets of the palace, and it's not interesting for us to shake that girl now! ”

"It's just boring, it's just that no matter whether he lives or dies, there is no Xu Yeyang in this world......" His eyes fell silent little by little, even if you have someone in your successor, the entanglement between us is not over yet! In a trance, he thought of the cold-eyed woman again. Murong Yening, I hope you can cut off the past now......

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Miss, Miss! What happened to you? ”

"It's okay, I've been feeling stuffy in my chest lately, a little uneasy, and it seems like something bad is going to happen......"

"Miss is probably because she has been worried about her relationship with the Li family recently, and she hasn't slept well, and now that she is getting better, God should also take care of Miss! Let's have a cup of soothing tea, which contains calamus and chamomile, and also includes the fragrance of bamboo leaves, which is Miss's favorite! ”

"I don't want to bet on heaven's favor, but I hope it's as you say! Thank you, Zixuan ...... "has always been with me, like a friend, like a relative......

Murong Yening lifted the lid of the cup and gently skimmed the flirtatious chamomile petals on the tea, and when he entered it slightly, a light but sweet taste instantly opened between his lips and teeth. Before she could raise her glass again, a snow-white pigeon flew in with only patches of black spots on its back.

"Snow in Wushan? How did you get here? Zi Xuan couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's a carrier pigeon!" Murong Yening immediately covered the doors and windows. Pass the carrier pigeon to your side and carefully remove the inconspicuous bamboo tube from its leg.

She couldn't wait to unfold the note in the bamboo tube, but the next moment she stayed where she was, like a lost child, not knowing what to do.

"Life and death are unknown, life and death are unknown...... How could it be...... Impossible......" Murong Yening struggled to show a smile, but felt that the corners of her mouth were stiff, there was clearly no smile in her eyes, it was empty, like a pair of water tanks in the rainy season, constantly overflowing with water.

"Ye Ning, think about yourself, don't forget your mother...... You should be quiet first......" Zixuan's eyes were also full of tears, but she had to endure it, her young lady had come to this point, and she must not make a mistake again.

"I see, you can go......" She walked to the window, pushed it open, and there was a sunset outside, the blue and white sky slightly pinked. As if she had no strength, she slid onto the sandalwood lacquered stool, and looked at the empty sky in a daze, as if to understand something.

The carrier pigeon flew away, and a gust of evening wind blew, and she suddenly felt some heartache. She laughed self-deprecatingly, it turned out that she would also have heartache, I thought I didn't care anymore, but I never wanted to let go? The night was falling, and the moonlight shrouded this lonely person, but her heartbeat was so clear, as if it had already been doomed to a sad end.

"I'm going to see Gongzi Li today, Ye Ning, have you thought about it......" Combing Murong Ye Ning's hair, Zi Xuan said worriedly.

"I know......" Murong Yening smiled bitterly and helplessly, "At the beginning, my mother probably really hoped that I could live this kind of stable and peaceful life, but Zixuan, you know that I can't do it, I really can't do it......"

"I understand, Ye Ning hopes to stay with the person he loves for a long time, even if it is a bloody life...... Now the Li family can indeed become the young lady's lifelong dependence, but in this way, you have to respect someone you don't love for a lifetime, and although the Li family is strong, they don't want to be enemies of other families, and Li Gongzi will not turn against you and the Du family in the future, so that the lady's revenge cannot be avenged! ”
