As soon as Mama Wu's words came out, I stood up in a daze.

Shui Xiu, who was squatting on the ground to clean up the mess, was startled again, and raised his head to look at me in panic, seeing that I was about to rush out regardless of a qiē, I heard Mama Wu's calm voice ringing in my ears-

"However, it is not Lord Liu who is injured."

“……！”

I had already stepped out of the threshold and stiffened, and I shoveled the snow outside the door and flew away.

There were still some panting, some heartbeats, but at least the breathing, the heartbeat, all came back.

I turned my head to look at Mama Wu's face, which had never had too many expressions, and suddenly I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but when I opened my mouth, I almost cried: "Mama, what are you doing!" ”

At that moment, my heart felt like it was about to crack.

I can't imagine what I'd do if something happened to him. Just at that moment, I really felt as if the sky had fallen.

No matter what happens to him, no matter how big it is, anything is fine.

He's fine.

It's okay!

It was as if I had picked up a life by myself, but in a short period of time, I was already in a cold sweat, as if I had died and come back to life, and when I sat back on the stool, I almost fell down, and my feet were weak and weak because of the stimulation just now.

Mama Wu was still standing there, but she didn't react to my accusation, but after Shui Xiu finished cleaning up, she whispered to her to go out and throw it away, and Shui Xiu also went out obediently, and Mama Wu looked back at me.

"If the emperor is here, my lord, you are the same?"

“……”

I was stunned and looked at her stupidly, Mama Wu shook her head lightly and sighed.

I was speechless.

But there are some lingering palpitations - indeed, fortunately, Pei Yuanhao is not here.

I can't pretend, I can't pretend to be so calm, so indifferent, and don't care about a single qiē when something happens to me in the light cold.

I can't even imagine what would happen to me if something really happened to him.

Maybe...... No, I'm not going to look for life and death, because I still haven't found my son, because he's not the only one in my life, but—

I looked up and looked at the goose feather snow flying outside the window, the bone-chilling cold was still invading every inch of human skin - if something really happened to him, maybe I wouldn't do anything, and I would still follow the path I was going to take, step by step.

It's just that this snow in my life has never melted one day.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile faintly.

This smile is indescribably sour, but it is also indescribably lucky.

He's fine, he's fine!

But at this time, I remembered another thing, raised my head and looked at Mama Wu, what she just told me was that it was not Master Liu who was injured, who was injured?

"Mama, what the hell is going on?"

Seeing my question, Mama Wu didn't say anything else, and said calmly: "I heard that the wheel of Lord Liu's carriage was pulled out of the axle today, and it happened to have an accident on the outskirts of the city, and he almost overturned the mountain with the car. ”

"Huh?!"

Although he already knew that Qing Han was not injured, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, just thinking about the scene at that time made people break out in a cold sweat, and trembled slightly: "It's so dangerous, then how is he-"

Mama Wu looked at me again: "I heard that the eldest princess followed." ”

"Huh?"

This time my neck was a little stiff, I raised my head to look at Mama Wu, she said slowly: "I don't know the details yet, I just heard rumors, it was the eldest princess who pulled him down, Lord Liu is fine, but the eldest princess is injured." ”

“……”

Pei Yuanzhen!

The name burned like a flame in my heart, and an indescribable sense of irritability surrounded me.

When I came up from the Juma River Valley, Qinghan made the same decision as her, and in the days since, there has been no news of any relationship between them, and I have almost forgotten about her, thinking that she will fade out of Qinghan's life, and it will no longer have any effect on us.

I didn't expect her to ......

My face slowly became gloomy, a gust of wind blew open the hidden door, rolled the snowflakes into the room, and suddenly blew away the warmth that had gathered a little, looking at my pale face, Mama Wu walked over and carefully covered the door, and walked back to me.

It was a long time before I spoke, my voice hoarse, "And now?" ”

"The people have been sent back."

"Are you badly hurt?"

"It's okay, I heard that it looks like it's just some external injuries, but the eldest princess is also golden, and she can't stand such suffering, and the pain is so painful that people are not sober."

That is, fainted in pain?

Then, just now on the terrace, Father-in-law Yu said to Pei Yuanhao, "It's okay", and it was her.

My voice grew deeper: "Who sent it back?" ”

“…… Lord Liu, with those guards. ”

“……”

"The news hasn't spread too much."

"Oh?" I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and saw Mama Wu and said: "The eldest princess hasn't left the pavilion yet, she follows Lord Liu like this, and her reputation is not good, so not many people know about it." ”

“……”

Not many people know, but that doesn't mean no one knows.

Even Mama Wu can get the news, and other people will naturally be even better-

However, what I'm really worried about now is not this, but the incident itself.

Pei Yuanzhen was actually injured for the light cold.

That said, she didn't intend to let go.

Even, she is tougher than ever, and she does not hesitate to give herself.

I realized that my legs, which had just been a little weak, were not getting better, but the feeling of collapse was even worse, almost making my breathing disordered.

The road between me and Qinghan was already difficult, and such a step-by-step hardship could no longer withstand any damage. Moreover-

I don't know why, recalling that on the terrace, after Pei Yuanhao learned the news, the calm feeling as if nothing had happened, and the almost happy mood that kept holding me to watch the snow scene made me more and more uneasy.

That night, the north wind howled in the snow all night, and I lay in bed and stared at the glittering window with my eyes wide open and watched all night. The wind finally stopped, and it was not yet dawn, but the window was bright, and I got up and walked over to open the window, and saw the snow white in my eyes.

This heavy snow has buried the road that had been cleared before.

The snow reflected the swaying lanterns under the eaves, reflecting a faint light, and although it was not yet dawn, some little eunuchs had already come to sweep the floor with brooms.

The two little eunuchs had just arrived in the courtyard, and when they saw me standing by the window, they immediately smiled and said, "Lord Yue, did the little ones wake you up?" ”

I smiled faintly, "No." ”

"Adults wake up so early, do you need some hot tea and snacks?"

Seeing that they looked at me very pleasantly, I was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then I will work hard for you, help me get some hot water, and if you have refreshments, you also need some." ”

"Good!"

The two little eunuchs immediately threw away the broom, carried their clothes and hurriedly ran out, of course I knew that he didn't have any good feelings for me, but because I was going to move to Yihua Hall today, these children looked clever, and of course they would not let go of the opportunity to please. When they brought hot water and hot tea snacks, I finished hastily grooming myself, and was sitting and eating snacks, Shui Xiu and Wu Mama came over, and when they saw me like this, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and Shui Xiu said stupidly: "My lord, what's wrong with you today?" ”

"It's fine."

I smiled a little and said to her, "You go over there and have you gotten up." ”

"Oh."

She looked at me again, then turned around and walked out, Mama Wu stayed and poured me hot tea, but she didn't say much, only occasionally I could hear her sigh softly.

After a while, Shui Xiu came back, and those who followed naturally still had Nian Shen.

He got up early, looked full of energy, and threw himself into my arms as soon as he entered the door: "Aunt Qing! ”

I hugged him with a smile and said, "Your Highness is so heavy, I'm about to knock Aunt Qing down." ”

He smiled and lifted his little face from my arms, I gently stroked my still cool face, and said softly: "Get up so early, are you going to go to Jixian Hall for class?" ”

"yes. The queen mother said yesterday that if I have anything in the future, I have to come and tell Aunt Qing first. ”

"Hmm."

I nodded, hugged him and looked out of the door, the snow had been piled up so thick, and those little eunuchs were very struggling to sweep the snow, I thought about it and said, "Since this is the case, then Aunt Qing will accompany His Royal Highness to Jixian Hall today." ”

"Really? Great! ”

When Nian Shen heard this, he was naturally very happy, but Mama Wu and Shui Xiu next to him were shocked, and hurriedly looked at me: "My lord! ”

I said calmly: "Get ready, Shui Xiu will go with me." ”

“…… Be. ”

Shui Xiu agreed, and went down to prepare.

Mama Wu still looked worried, but at this time, like those who guarded the palace gate and looked at me, she couldn't say anything to stop her.

Let me educate Nianshen, this is Pei Yuanhao's personal order yesterday, since Nianshen is cultivated, then follow him to Jixian Hall to have a look, and understand the schoolwork of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, it is also a matter of course, no one has a reason to stop it.

Until the time I got into the carriage, Mama Wu still looked at me, shook her head helplessly, and muttered, "It's strange, you promised so happily." ”

I leaned on the car window, still holding Nianshen in one hand, and only said softly: "Mama, go back, it's cold outside." ”

She sighed, "Hmm. Whatever you do, come back soon. ”

I nodded, "Got it." ”

With that, the coachman lowered the curtain, and the wheels rolled over the thick snow, and drove out slowly.

Outside the Jixian Palace, the snow here is a thick layer of backlogged, as if God is looking at the desertion here, covering the entire Jixian Hall with a thick layer of white cotton brocade quilt, and the high steps are also thick snow, stepping on it, making a creaking sound.

Nian Shen seemed very happy to hear this, so he simply broke free from my hand and ran up.

Seeing him happy like a happy little rabbit, I couldn't help but think of Pei Yuanhao yesterday, who was one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow, as if stepping on the sound of music.

These two fathers and sons are the same when they are happy.

It's just that no matter how happy they are, I am still in a bad mood yesterday and now.

Raise your head and look at the Jixian Hall standing high at the end of the steps, standing in the snow. The wooden structure gives this hall a cocoon and isolated temperament, as if the owner here is not stunned, a desert, always with a kind of sobriety and calmness like an outsider, looking at the disturbances in the red dust.

When I looked up at the main hall, Nian Shen had already climbed the steps, turned around and waved at me vigorously: "Aunt Qing, hurry." ”

I smiled faintly and walked up unhurriedly.

Walking to him, Nian Shen's face was a little red because he ran and jumped for a while just now, and the exhaled breath also turned into a white mist, and his little nose was frozen red, I didn't know what I thought, and said with a smile: "Does Nian Shen like to come to Jixian Hall to take classes so much?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing him nod his head earnestly and vigorously, I couldn't help but smile.

He is also really a good boy, he will write down the knowledge that is inadvertently told to him, tell him the truth, he will write it down, even let him come to class, he will not be like other children to push back, although sometimes it will be like lazy to play, but to do this, for children of this age, it is not easy.

I even think that it may be better to let the child grow up on his own than to let him raise him.

But this is not the time to think about it, I just took his little hand and walked along the corridor, and listened to him say how many poems he had memorized recently, and who he had won against the pair, I listened patiently, and said, "Did my brother only teach you this?" What else was taught? ”

Nian thought deeply and said, "Also, killing one person is unjust, and there must be a capital crime...... Well, if you kill ten people, you will be guilty of ten capital crimes; Killing a hundred people will be a hundred unrighteous crimes, and there will be a hundred capital crimes. ”

I listened and was silent for a moment: "Senior brother taught you this?" ”

"Hmm."

"Does Your Highness know what it means?"

Nian Shen shook his head: "I don't know, senior brother said, let me remember these first, and I will understand in the future." ”

Seeing that he was struggling to memorize just now, I must not understand the meaning, I just didn't expect that Qinghan would teach him this when Nian Shen was so young. Does that mean that he already has a premonition of the future, or does he have some bad premonitions because of the current situation in the south?

Killing a man is called unrighteousness; Killing ten people, ten injustices; Kill a hundred, a hundred injustices.

Well, what about a war?

Is it a thousand injustices?

I looked down at Nian Shen, whose little eyebrows were slightly twisted together, this child, how much will he understand?

In fact, at the bottom of the valley, before Qinghan said those words to me, I was also somewhat conscious, he had followed Fu Badai for all these years, if he only learned some writing and copying, it would really insult Fu Badai's reputation as a sage in Shudi; He said that he has a responsibility to the south, whether it is from the path that a man should take, or his inheritance from the bloodline, I can also understand it, but I don't know now, when Jiangnan is occupied by rebellious forces, what kind of attitude will he have?

The main battle?

Lord and?

And how to fight? How and?

I thought about it for a while, and when I came back to my senses, I was already outside the classroom, and I laughed to myself.

What is in his mind, just ask him.

Not only in the south, but also yesterday about Pei Yuanzhen; Also, I have to ask him a lot of things about me and about him.

Thinking of this, he took Nian Shen's hand and walked to the door.

It was still early, none of the other students had arrived, and there was only one person sitting in the classroom by the bookcase in front of him, not reading, not holding a pen, just sitting quietly.

Of course, he also has no way to read books and write.

As soon as Nian Shen raised his head, he had already shouted loudly: "Teacher? ”

The person sitting in front of the desk slowly raised his head, and his gray eyes still flashed with a clear light: "Your Highness." After speaking, he raised his head with a smile, as if looking at me: "Lord Yue." ”

My face sank slightly.

Nian Shen had already walked over, although he couldn't see it, he still saluted in a proper manner, Fu Badai stretched out his hand, groped his way to help him, and said, "These days, has Your Highness learned well?" ”

"Teacher, Nian Shen has been working hard."

"Oh, that's good." He nodded: "Later, let the teacher see how much His Highness has improved." ”

"Yes."

After saying that, he smiled and reached out to pat Nianshen's shoulder, and asked him to sit back in his seat, and I walked in slowly, he only turned his head to me a little vaguely, with a faint smile on his face.

He didn't speak, but that seemingly transparent smile was enough to make my brow furrow.

After a while, he whispered, "What about him?" ”

These days, it's obvious that Qinghan is teaching on his behalf, why is it that today, when I came, he was here to take classes?

It seemed that my tone was not very good, and Fu Badai still had a faint smile on his face: "The old man has been missing classes for many days, and today, it's time to come back and take a look." ”

“……”

I've missed classes for a few days, but I'm coming back today?

But yesterday, I was ordered to promise His Highness to educate His Highness, and when I can bring Nian Shen to Jixian Hall today, he will come back to teach?

Is there such a coincidence?

Thinking of this, my voice became deeper and deeper, and I still asked, "What about him?" ”

In response to my stubborn question, Fu Badai slowly raised his head, his eyes that couldn't find focus seemed to be able to look into my eyes, and said calmly: "How can you ignore the grace of saving your life." ”

"What?"

"Decaying students can't be ruthless and unjust."

“……”

"Today, I asked him to accompany the eldest princess."

I only felt a feeling of suffocation in my chest, as if I was trapped in some cage, I couldn't break free, and even my breath was frozen by the cold weather, and after a while, I was almost about to say something, but when I opened my mouth, I saw Nian Shen sitting next to me looking at us with wide eyes.

The unpleasant atmosphere between me and Fu Badai seems to be felt by this kid.

Thinking of this, I endured it and only bit my lower lip to let out a breath.

On the contrary, it was Fu Badai who stood up and said to Nian Shen: "Your Highness read the book first, the old minister has something to say to Lord Yue." ”

"Oh, got it, teacher."

I turned around and walked out in three steps.

He was on crutches and followed, just watching him stumble, although I was angry in my heart, I could only reach out and help him, and the two of them walked to the end of the corridor, and I turned around and looked at him: "Why?" ”

Fu Badai was still very calm: "It's not wrong for the old man to do this. ”

I bit my lower lip.

"That's right, I know that you agreed to raise His Royal Highness, and it was also because you could come to Jixian Hall in the name of righteousness, so today, I asked him to go to the eldest princess."

“……”

"I'm waiting for you because I have something to tell you."

My eyebrows never stretched, with a gloomy feeling, but when I heard him say this, I felt a little uncertain in my heart.

"What are you going to tell me?"
