In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.

The sky was still bright, and there was a faint sound of firecrackers outside, even if he didn't go out, Xiao Xiwei could think of how lively it was outside the Yongchun Palace at this time.

At this time last year, before she was married, he broke into her boudoir in the middle of the night, kidnapped her out of the mansion and took her back to their home.

Family......

Chinese New Year's Eve, this was originally a day of family reunion!

When Biyun pushed the door in, she saw that Xiao Xiwei had woken up and was sitting on the bed, looking out the window, and the yellow candlelight was cast on her side face through the palace lamp painted with peony flowers, which highlighted the loneliness on her face more and more.

"Princess, why don't you sleep a little longer." Biyun walked in front of Xiao Xiwei, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes could not hide his worry.

Xiao Xi silently retracted his gaze, looked down at the brocade quilt embroidered with flowers on his body, and his voice sounded low, "Biyun, I miss home......"

Biyun's nose was sour, tears couldn't help but fall, she hurriedly half-squatted on the ground, reached out and held Xiao Xiwei's hand hard, and forced herself to cry, "Miss, don't ...... like this"

Xiao Xi was slightly stunned, looking at the irrepressible grief in Biyun's eyes, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

Whether it's a pity or Ye'er's matter, she has always kept it a secret from Biyun. Because Biyun is not as good as Red Rain and Purple Smoke, she is simple by nature, and she is afraid that she will show her flaws. Therefore, these days, she has been by her side, not daring to close her eyes all night, for fear that she will do something stupid. Many times, she wanted to tell her everything, but when she thought that it was a pity, she could only hold back.

"Silly girl, I'm fine." Xiao Xi reached out slightly and rubbed Biyun's hair, and smiled apologetically.

She just wanted to pity it.

And Ye'er......

"Miss, otherwise, let's not go to Zichen Hall at night." Biyun looked at Xiao Xi with red eyes and said slightly.

The corners of Xiao Xiwei's mouth hooked slightly, and a cold voice immediately sounded, "Why don't you go?" ”

If she didn't go, wouldn't she let those people down?

"Miss......" Biyun raised her head and looked at Xiao Xiwei puzzled.

Xiao Xi bowed his head slightly and smiled at her, "Go, take out the jade pendant I asked you to put in the box." ”

"Jade pendant?" Biyun looked confused, but when she touched Xiao Xiwei's cold eyes, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Miss, you are ......?"

"Biyun, do you believe me?" Xiao Xiwei's eyes coldly cut off Biyun's words.

Biyun nodded vigorously without thinking.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, reached out and gently wiped away the remaining tears on Biyun's cheeks, "Silly girl, everything will be fine." ”

No matter what was waiting for her in front of her, as long as she knew that her husband and son were waiting for her over there, then, whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, she would step over them one by one.

At the end of the day, the sky is getting dark.

Xiao Xiwei was dressed properly and was about to go to the Zichen Palace for a banquet, but someone from the palace came to report that His Royal Highness King Qin asked to see him.

"Let him in." Hearing the name of Chu Muzhi, the king of Qin, Xiao Xiwei's expression was very cold.

After a while, two people walked in outside the door, one of the leaders was Chu Muzhi, the king of Qin, and the other made Xiao Xi stand up from the chair slightly.

"Imperial sister-in-law." Chu Mu came in and opened his mouth and shouted.

But for a long time, no one responded, because Xiao Xiwei's resentful eyes were staring at the person standing behind him at the moment.

Gu Qingyou.

"Good! Good! Good! You dare to bring her to me, Your Royal Highness King Qin, do you think that I can't help her if I am serious! Xiao Xi's eyes swept sharply towards Chu Muzhi.

Chu Muzhi's eyebrows twisted, and he was about to speak, but Gu Qingyou behind him suddenly stood up, "Lord Wang, I want to say a few words alone with Princess Yan, is it okay?" ”

"Quiet ......" Chu Muzhi frowned, a little hesitant.

Gu Qingyou smiled lightly at Chu Muzhi, "Lord Wang, don't you believe me?" ”

Chu Mu was stunned, and then sighed as if compromised, and at the end, he turned his face and looked at Xiao Xiwei again, "Sister-in-law, I just want to ask you to calm down and think about it, even if it's for Ye'er, you should find out the truth, shouldn't you?" ”

Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Muzhi and snorted coldly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a cold smile.

Chu Muzhi frowned, didn't say anything after all, turned around and walked out.

"You're bold." Xiao Xi sneered slightly, raised his feet in front of Gu Qingyou, hooked the corners of his lips, reached out to pick up Gu Qingyou's chin, and said coldly, "You took King Qin away, aren't you afraid of what I will do to you?" ”

"The princess laughed, why did you do anything to the courtiers?" Gu Qingyou smiled slightly, and her eyes were calm.

Xiao Xi's eyes narrowed, the tips of his slender eyebrows raised, and the smile on the corners of his lips became more and more cold, "That's not necessarily." ”

"Princess, even criminals who have been condemned to death should have a chance to defend themselves, right?" Gu Qingyou looked at Xiao Xi with a smile and said slightly.

Xiao Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Gu Qingyou and did not answer.

Gu Qingyu smiled, "The princess is not suspicious of King Ning's death at all?" ”

The hand that was holding Gu Qingyou's chin was finally retracted.

Xiao Xi took two steps back, "What do you want to say?" ”

Gu Qingyou raised her eyes and glanced around, "There are some things I just want to say to you alone, the princess?" ”

"No way!" Biyun glared, and refused Gu Qingyou's words without thinking about it.

Gu Qingyou didn't seem to hear Ziyan's words, she still looked at Xiao Xiwei with a smile, but her eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Get out." I only heard Xiao Xi's slightly cold voice ringing out.

Biyun was stunned, "Princess." ”

"All out." Xiao Xiwei's voice rang out again.

Even if he was not at ease, Biyun was still pulled out by Ziyan, and naturally, the other palace people in the house also walked out, the vermilion door slowly closed, and only Xiao Xiwei and Gu Qingyou were left in the room.

Time passes little by little.

But there was no movement in the house for a long time.

Not only were the palace people of Yongchun Palace anxious, but even Chu Muzhi's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he glanced at the closed door from time to time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." At this time, someone from the palace exclaimed.

Chu Muzhi turned his head and saw that Chu Yanzhi was wearing a dark purple brocade robe with narrow sleeves with lapels, a belt inlaid with white jade on his waist, and half of a Hetian jade pendant tied on it.

"Prince." Chu Muzhi raised his hand and saluted slightly.

Chu Yanzhi hooked the corners of his lips and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a noise in the room.

Chu Muzhi's face changed greatly, and he couldn't care about Chu Yanzhi at the moment, so he turned around and pushed open the door and walked in, and Chu Yanzhi also followed closely and walked in.

In the room, Gu Qingyou was half-lying on the ground, her right hand was tightly covering her forehead, the bright red blood was gushing out, and there was a broken teacup scattered around her.

"Quiet." Chu Mu shouted in pain, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Qingyou up.

Chu Yanzhi raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei, only to see that she was wearing a dark purple palace dress embroidered with dark patterns of roses, with a circle of Yingluo on her forehead, and a pair of inch-long amethyst hairpins on her head.

Could it be that she did it?

Chu Yanzhi frowned and thought.

"Doctor! It's too doctoral! Hurry up and get a doctor! Chu Muyi shouted anxiously while pulling the handkerchief to help Gu Qingyou hold down the wound.

A few palace maids in the room moved, turned around and were about to leave, when suddenly, a cold voice sounded.

"Who dares to go!"

Chu Muzhi's face changed, he raised his eyes gloomily and looked at Xiao Xiwei, gritted his teeth and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, do you really not think about it at all!" ”

Xiao Xiwei looked up as if she had heard some joke, and sneered a few times, "Affection? You actually offered me love, did you read love when you killed my Ye'er? ”

"I said it wasn't me!" Chu Muzhi glared at Xiao Xiwei and yelled loudly.

However, Xiao Xiwei looked down at Chu Muzhi condescendingly, with raised eyebrows and sarcastic eyes, as if he was looking at a clown jumping off the beam.

"Your Highness, don't talk about it...... She won't listen to you. Suddenly, Gu Qingyou, who was lying in Chu Yanzhi's arms, spoke in a low voice.

"Qingyou......" Chu Muzhi hurriedly lowered his head, looked at Gu Qingyou's miserable face, and his eyes turned red.

Gu Qingyou raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei, the corners of his pale lips pulled up a sneering smile, "Whether it's His Royal Highness King Qin or His Royal Highness King Yan, they all misthink you." Especially King Yan, for a woman like you, it's really not worth it......"

Xiao Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he was about to speak, but he heard Gu Qingyou's voice sound again.

"Lord Wang, let's go......" Gu Qingyou turned his face and looked at Chu Muzhi with a soft gaze.

Chu Mu was stunned, and still looked at Xiao Xiwei without giving up, "Imperial sister-in-law, I respect you as much as I respect Seventh Brother, but today, you actually did such a hand to Qingyou!" Speaking of this, Chu Muzhi gritted his teeth, and his dark eyes could not hide his anger, "Are you really still my seventh sister-in-law!" After that, he didn't look at Xiao Xiwei anymore, stretched out his hand to pick up Gu Qingyou, and walked out without looking back.

Behind him, Xiao Xi's body shook slightly, and he sat on the ground slumped against the chair behind him.

"Wei'er, are you alright?" Yanzhi frowned, hurriedly walked to Xiao Xiwei's side, and reached out to help her up.

"Now, you're satisfied?" Xiao Xi's slightly hoarse voice sounded slowly.

What do you mean by that? Are you doubting me? Chu Yanzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Xi and said slightly.

Xiao Xi raised her head slowly, her eyes that were once watery were full of bloodshots, she stretched out her chest with clothes, her eyes were full of suspicion and confusion, "I don't know...... I don't know which of you I should trust...... Each of you has a reason to hurt my Ye'er. I really don't know who to believe? Why is it that overnight, there is not even a single person around me, around me, who believes in me? As she spoke, big tears fell down her face.

The hot tears, like sulfuric acid, instantly corroded a huge opening in Chu Yanzhi's chest, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable and distressed in his chest. Before he could think about why, he had already reached out and took the person in front of him into his arms.

"Trust me, Wei'er, I'll give you everything you want...... Crown Princess, Empress, as long as you want, we will have children in the future, he will be the future crown prince, the future monarch of the entire Da Viet...... So, Wei'er, trust me! Everything will be fine! It's going to be fine......"

As if he was caught in the imagination of a better future, Chu Yanzhi didn't notice at all that the woman he was holding in his arms was cold in his eyes.
