Yan Feng sat on the stone steps in front of the hall, looking lonely: "I'd rather that the person who was captured by the thieves was me, not you." In this way, the person Ning Er saved at the beginning would be me, and the little brother she was thinking about would only be me. Ning'er has always rejected me, just because you met her earlier than me. Not only did she save a wolf with her own hands, but she also sent herself into the wolf's mouth. You almost ruined her, you know how active and cheerful she used to be, and now she doesn't even dare to recognize me. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan's expression was gloomy: "The last general has been with her for so long, and he didn't find the sycamore leaves on her body. Even if the last general took a serious look at her, he would definitely recognize her. Please ask the emperor for permission to escort Princess Fengyi back to Shangxia, and the last general owes him an apology. ”

Yan Fengzhan stood up angrily: "Don't you think it's enough to hurt her?" she doesn't bother to listen to your apology, and I won't allow you to harass her again. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan stood up and walked outside the palace, he ignored Yan Feng's warning: "Please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate!"

Yan Feng roared at his back: "This is my bottom line, no matter how obsessed you are, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan turned back to the palace and went to Minghui Palace, he wanted to resign to Qi Yun Huan. Qi Yun Yuexuan's face was remorseful: "I want to resist the decree this time to send Murong Zhining, if the emperor is to blame, I may not be able to come back, sister take care of herself!" Qi Yunwan roared in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Both of you were stunned by that Murong Zhining." This palace does not allow you to be so willful. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan got up and walked out: "I'm just here to say goodbye to my sister, not to discuss with you." If the emperor condemns the crime, please ask my sister to take care of the royal father for me. Qi Yunhuan chased after him and shouted loudly: "Qi Yun Yuexuan, you go back to the palace, don't go!"

As soon as Cai Qin brought the tea, she saw Qi Yun Yuexuan hurriedly walking out, she pretended to be a guest for the host, and followed behind Qi Yun Yuexuan, chattering, wanting to attract Qi Yun Yuexuan's attention: "Murong Zhining, that cheap maid made General Qi Yun angry again? That cheap maid was very cheap when she was in the Zhuang Mansion, and everyone knew that the stupid son of the Zhuang family shared a concubine room with his son." followed the general, that was her great blessing, I didn't expect that she was not satisfied, and she still wanted to climb to the emperor, which was really shameless. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan stopped, his eyes fixed on Cai Qin: "You say it again." ”

Cai Qin was shocked by Qi Yun Yuexuan's momentum, and snorted in fear: "The slave is afraid that the general will be deceived by her, and she will behave very badly when she is in the Zhuang Mansion. She has long been crippled by Zhuang Cheng's father and son, how can she be worthy of such a character as a general? If the general doesn't believe it, he can ask the others in the Zhuang Mansion. "If it was in the past, even if someone maliciously defiled Murong Zhining, Qi Yun Yuexuan would laugh at it, and he couldn't wait for others to scold her even more cheaply. Today, however, the celery picks the wrong day.

Qi Yun Yuexuan's anger poured out like a torrent, she grabbed the placket of Cai Qin's chest, gritted her teeth as if she wanted to swallow her alive: "Shameless long-tongued woman, you dare to slander the general's beloved wife? When Lao Tzu slept with her, she fell red, do you know what it is? It's a cheap woman like you who has long been gone." ”

Qi Yunwan was still angry, and when she heard the roar, she chased to the palace gate and said: "Qi Yunyuexuan, you are more and more arrogant, this is the palace, not your general's mansion." Do you have to kill the family to be satisfied?" Qi Yun Yuexuan pushed the trembling Cai Qin to the ground: "I beg Niang Niang to cut off the tongue of this long-tongued woman for me." After he finished speaking, he walked out of the palace in despair.

Murong Zhining sat in the carriage back to Shang Xia, with Cai Sang and Luo Siyao accompanying her. Murong Zhining was in tears all the way, and Cai Sang thought she was reluctant to leave Shangjing.

Murong Zhining's thoughts returned to her childhood, and she vaguely remembered that she was less than five years old that year. When Xiao Ling'er fled with her nurse, she fell into the hands of traffickers and was sold to an old farmer in a mountain village as his wife. The bandits and bandits in the mountain village were troubled, and soon the nurse and Xiao Ling'er were caught by the thieves into the mountains. The nurse cooks and washes clothes for the bandits during the day, and is bullied by the bandits in turn at night, and her life is very bleak. The nurse always smeared the black smoke at the bottom of the pot on Xiao Ling'er's face, Xiao Ling'er was very puzzled, and asked the nurse curiously why? The nurse touched her head lovingly: "Xiao Ling'er looks so well-behaved and cute, the nurse is afraid of those thieves who kill a thousand knives, so she will catch Xiao Ling'er and sell it." ”

In the past few days, the thieves have captured a little brother and locked him in the firewood room. Xiao Ling'er heard the short thief say that when she received the ransom money, she would kill her little brother and throw him to the back mountain to feed the wolves.

Xiao Ling'er has seen bandits kill people, and they don't even blink their eyes when they kill people. The bandits had also kidnapped the son of a rich man not long ago, and after receiving the ransom, they still killed the child. The child's miserable cry for mercy has always been Xiao Ling'er's nightmare. The kind-hearted little Ling'er didn't want to see her little brother killed by the bandits again, so she decided to let her little brother go.

When the little brother fled, he hung the sycamore leaves on his body around her neck. Xiao Ling'er only vaguely remembered that her little brother's name was "Eating Fish". The little brother ran away and turned around and shouted at her: "Little flower cat, if you come to me, I will marry you." Xiao Ling'er was still too young, she didn't know what her brother meant by "marrying" when she "ate fish", but she still nodded at him innocently. She lured away the chasing bandits, and was pulled back by the thieves and beaten severely, and the nurse kept her on her body, and she was beaten all over her body.

Xiao Ling'er touched the sycamore leaves that her little brother gave her, thinking that one day she would be able to escape with the nurse, and she must return the jade to her brother who "eats fish". Xiao Ling'er is afraid that she will forget her little brother, and she has been silently reciting in her heart "Little Flower Cat loves to eat fish".

Murong Zhining was lying in the carriage with a thick fur mattress under her. Her tears slipped down one after another, and Cai Sang didn't know the bitterness in her heart, just thought she was sorrowful.

Murong Zhining was silent, and as long as she was awake, she kept shedding tears. I was tired of crying, and I fell into a deep sleep. Cai Sang took advantage of her confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you, Zhining, isn't it a good thing to be able to go home? What else are you hiding from me?" No one else was there, she still called Murong Zhining's name willfully, she knew that Murong Zhining regarded her as a sister, and she would not care about etiquette with her.

Murong Zhining's tears rolled down like pearls: "I found my little brother." Cai Sang said happily: "I knew it was the emperor, so shouldn't you be happy?" Murong Zhining covered her chest and cried: "No...... Emperor. Cai Sang was puzzled, there were only two men around Murong Zhining who could come into contact with him. She suddenly realized, clenching her silver teeth: "It's that beast, what does God want to do to you?"

Cai Sang leaned Murong Zhining's head on her shoulder, stroked her back and comforted her silently. Luo Siyao looked anxious: "Will General Qiyun and the princess still be together?" Cai Sang glanced at her hatefully: "Even if all the men in the world are dead, we Zhining will never be with that beast." ”

Cai Sang has always understood Murong Zhining's mind very well, and the little brother is a ray of sunshine in Murong Zhining's difficult childhood, bringing her hope and making her strong to face all the hardships that life has brought her. Finding her little brother is a goal she never gave up no matter how hard and desperate she was. However, the reality is so cruel that it was the little brother who destroyed all this in her mind, a god-like existence.

Three days later, General Huyan, who was in charge of escorting Murong Zhining back to Shangxia, respectfully bowed his hand outside her carriage and said, "Princess Qiyu, Hua Yan's General Qiyun asked to see him, and he has been following the team with a team of men and horses for two days. ”

Cai Sang lifted the curtain of the carriage: "He still has the face to ask to see our princess? Go and tell him that the princess will not see him, and let him die of that heart." Luo Siyao tugged at Caisang's clothes: "Don't make up your mind for the princess, she hasn't replied yet." Cai Sang looked at the unconscious Murong Zhining, and shook off Luo Siyao's hand: "You don't know what he did to the princess? The princess was tortured like this, don't you feel distressed? General Huyan just went back to him as I said, and I have to bear any responsibility." General Huyan had no choice but to take the order.

After a pillar of incense, General Huyan said outside the car again: "Princess Qiyu, General Qiyun asked the last general to give this to the princess." Cai Sang looked out the car window, and General Huyan respectfully knelt on one knee, his hands raised above his head, holding a sycamore leaf carved from jade. Cai Sang said angrily: "Go and return it to him, just say that our princess is not uncommon with this broken thing." General Huyan's expression was embarrassed: "General Qiyun said that he does not accept the return of the promised thing." Belch...... I think it's better for the princess to tell him herself. Cai Sang took a sip: "The skin is so thick, what kind of love thing? Our princess has nothing to do with him, you go and pay him back." By the way, don't let this kind of thing bother the princess in the future. Caisang impatiently pulled down the curtains.

After General Huyan left, Caisang stretched out his head to take a look. Behind Shang Xia's team, there was indeed a team of Hua Yan's soldiers and horses. Caisang shook his head helplessly and retracted his head back into the car. Luo Siyao looked at Murong Zhining, who was unconscious: "Cai Sang, you're afraid that it's not appropriate to be like this, right?" Cai Sang pushed her: "I knew that you were so protective of your ridiculous master, so I shouldn't have let you follow." Either you get out of the car and go with your former master. Luo Siyao was ashamed: "Thank you Sister Caisang for your success, the general has a great kindness to me." ”

General Huyan immediately sent Luo Siyao to Qi Yun Yuexuan's team.

Luo Siyao was brought to Qi Yun Yuexuan, and Qi Yun Yuexuan hurriedly asked, "Princess Fengyi...... Is she okay?Why don't you wait by her side?" Luo Siyao bowed her head respectfully: "The slave is a slave in the Qiyun army, and without the general's order, the slave and the maid dare not leave without permission." Princess...... The princess is ...... these days It's not good, I'm already weak, and I keep crying, and I keep crying as long as I'm awake, which is really distressing. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan's hands were slightly clenched, and his brows were furrowed, and it could be seen that his emotions seemed to have great ups and downs. In Luo Siyao's mind, Qi Yun Yuexuan has always collapsed in front of others and his face has not changed.

Qi Yun Yuexuan was silent for a long time, his expression was so solemn that he couldn't dissolve.

After a long time, Qi Yun Yuexuan sighed: "You go back to the princess, take good care of General Ben, and report the princess's situation to General Ben when you have the opportunity." ”

Seeing Luo Siyao away, Qi Yun Yuexuan rode on the horse and fell into deep thought. He clutched the sycamore leaf in his hand and silently thought about his thoughts. He hated himself for not taking a good look at Murong Zhining at the beginning, as long as he looked at her seriously, he might find the sycamore leaves on her body, or see the small cinnabar mole behind her ear.

Qi Yun Yuexuan never thought of himself as a cold-blooded person, but now, he had a new understanding of himself. He began to hate his own cruelty and ruthlessness, which caused him to deeply hurt the two most important people in his life. One is the little flower cat who took him out of the devil's cave in order to give steamed buns when he was most hungry and when he was most afraid. One is a good brother who grew up with him since he was a child and is like a brother. What made Qi Yun Yuexuan feel very entangled was that before, no matter how he hurt Murong Zhining, Murong Zhining had never shed a single tear for him. However, today, he learned that Murong Zhining had been crying. Of course, Qi Yun Yuexuan knew that Murong Zhining was crying for him, and at the same time, he also knew very well in his heart that if he was not the owner of the sycamore leaf, Murong Zhining would not shed even half a tear for him. He was filled with both surprise and deep guilt. In the midst of the contradiction, he felt complacent about Murong Zhining's tears, and ashamed of his shameless caution.

Qi Yun Yuexuan followed behind Shang Xia's team unhurriedly, and for a few days, he couldn't get close to Murong Zhining at all. In the evening of that day, the team set up camp to rest, and Cai Sang and Luo Siyao helped Murong Zhining out of the carriage and took her to take a walk in the fields by the roadside. Cai Sang recalled the time when they were in Lotus Pond Pass, when Murong Zhining was confident and lively, exuding the vitality of a girl. And Murong Zhining in front of him was lifeless, like a lifeless puppet.
