"It's you."

When I finally said this, I don't know why, the whole person seemed to be hollowed out at this moment, there was no expected pain, and there was no imagined ease, I just opened my eyes a little hollowly, looking at the man in front of me who was also calm, but a little hollow.

My husband, who shares the same bed with me, is the husband who has been sleeping with me for so many years.

The person I should trust the most.

It's you.

I'm sure the wrong person, but it's not him, it's you.

Hearing these two words, he didn't seem to be surprised or stunned, just looked at me motionlessly: "Me? ”

“……”

"You say it's me?"

“……”

"Why?"

“……”

I didn't answer his question, but asked rhetorically: "Then you sue me, who killed your former sister, the eldest princess Pei Yuanzhen?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, it seemed that it was only at this time that there was a sudden light in his dark eyes, flickering constantly, as if he was in a trance in his heart, after hesitating for a long time, I looked at his lips slightly open and closed, as if to say something, but before he spoke, I said calmly: "Yuan Xiu." ”

“……”

"Don't lie to me."

“……”

His lips slowly closed again.

I seemed to hear his breath fall silent, and after a long silence he said, "Do you already have the answer?" ”

"I've seen Gu Ping."

After saying this, I saw that his eyes suddenly burst into light, as if something had been punctured, and when he looked at me again, the whole person's breath became solemn, and I immediately said calmly: "Don't go to him, after I saw him in the afternoon, I have warned him to leave Jinling and leave this place quickly." ”

“…… Why? ”

"I know, after that thing is done, he should have been killed, but his relationship with me is not ordinary, if he dies for no reason, I will definitely not give up lightly, I will definitely investigate to the end, and I will not find out some clues, so you didn't kill him."

“……”

"Yuan Xiu, if you still take care of our husband and wife, I beg you not to go to him, he is already very pitiful."

thought of Su Su saying before that he was drinking and making trouble in the restaurant; Even if I summoned him in the inner court, he asked Cao Hu and them to protect me, but he did not dare to come to see me; Until today, when I asked Cao Hu to ask him to come to the inner courtyard to see me, he seemed to finally understand that some things could not be contained, and finally appeared in front of me-that young man who was originally full of spirit, emaciated and haggard, became another person, and when he saw me, the heavy guilt in his eyes almost crushed his whole body, and the look of being on the verge of collapse made my heart ache.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak, but his face became paler and paler every moment, and under the faint candlelight, his face was almost transparent, and he couldn't see his feelings more and more.

Perhaps, I never saw it clearly.

After a long time, he asked, "How do you know it's him?" ”

I was silent for a moment, then slowly pulled out my fist-clenched hand from the quilt and unfolded it in front of him.

In the palm of his hand is a heavy silver lock.

At the beginning, when she was still in Jixiang Village, Liu San'er went to the town to order it for her after Miaoyan was born, and it was even engraved with the names of the three of us.

Light

Liu San

Never leave.

When I crossed the river to find Liu Qinghan to ask for that love poem as a letter of resignation, I once gave Gu Ping something wrapped in red cloth on the bow of the boat, but I asked him not to open it in front of me, I was afraid that I would be reluctant, because this silver lock recorded the happiness of me and him, our past, a good memory, and it was also what I left, the only trace that there had been between me and him.

It's just that at that time, I promised to marry Pei Yuanxiu, and I also want to say goodbye to my past, although I was reluctant, I could only do this.

But I didn't expect that this silver lock would tell me a truth many years later.

I said: "This silver lock was given to Ping'er before I married you, but today, Liu Qinghan dropped something from his hand on the execution ground, but it was this silver lock. ”

“……”

"Why do you think this thing ended up in his hands?"

“……”

"What do you think I should think?"

Pei Yuanxiu's face slowly sank.

And at this time, I finally understood that in the new house full of blood that night, I was obviously arguing with Han Ruoshi why Liu Qinghan still had to confess.

That night, when he sat in the new house with Pei Yuanzhen's body covered in blood, his hand also kept holding Pei Yuanzhen's hand, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, until-until Wen Fengxi looked at their hands, as if he had found something, and was about to ask, he suddenly opened his mouth to confess.

Because, he got this thing from Pei Yuanzhen's hands.

And on this, my name is clearly engraved!

Perhaps, in order to protect me, because this silver lock is already a most direct proof; Perhaps, he can't let Han Ruoshi's accusation against me go deeper; Perhaps, he also realized that the peace in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was temporary, and Jinling urgently needed an excuse to go to war, and once I was accused of killing the eldest princess, it would be possible to give Jinling the most direct excuse to go to war...... This qiē may be what he considered.

So, he confessed.

I felt a sour feeling in my heart, but I still pressed it down at the moment, raised my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu, and said slowly: "The night they got married, there was no Gu Ping in the guards you arranged, although I was a little surprised, and I didn't care too much, after all, when I was in Yangzhou with Miao Yan, it was because of his poor protection, so I was injured, you didn't send him, it was reasonable to be reasonable, but today I realized that his protection was not effective, and he had to be punished, so I was injured, and he also felt guilty, This qiē became an excuse for you to send him to carry out this plan. ”

“……”

"And that night, originally Han Ruoshi said that she was not in good health and did not come with us, but then she came by herself, and I didn't care about it at the time, I just thought that she wanted to embarrass me, so I didn't think about anything else. But today I learned that Gu Ping was on her boat and approached the red boat, and later, the river lights of the river attracted everyone, and it was at that time that he had the opportunity to board the boat. ”

“……”

"He accompanied me and Miao Yan to Yangzhou Mansion for a whole afternoon, of course he has already understood the deployment of Yangzhou Mansion guards, and those guards on the red boat are also directly transferred from the state capital, and the law of their shift change must be the same as in the state capital, so he can seize the opportunity and sneak into the new house unconsciously......"

“……”

He had been listening to my words calmly, and at this time, he still did not have the slightest emotion, and only asked, "Then how do you believe that this qiē was instructed by me?" ”

I looked at him and said with some sadness: "Yuan Xiu, that night, when I wanted to go to the garden behind the cabin to find a good word, you kept pulling me. ”

“……”

"If I'm not mistaken, at that time, it was when Ping'er was killing Pei Yuanzhen, right?"

“……”

"You keep pulling me, you don't want me to run into Gu Ping, and you don't want me to see that scene."

“……”

"After all, you are different from Han Ruoshi, she wants me to die, but you are not."

“……”

"However, I didn't see that scene, but Miaoyan did."

“……”

Because that night, in order to congratulate her third uncle on getting married, she specially prepared a gift for Pei Yuanzhen, and she took advantage of that time to give it to Pei Yuanzhen. She would be scared to be the way she is because she witnessed that murder! ”

No, not only because she witnessed that qiē, but also because she saw Brother Ping, who was once close to her, who would slowly persuade her when she had conflicts with her mother, and Brother Ping, who held her when she was in danger, would actually kill someone!

When I said this, my voice trembled, and tears kept rolling in my eyes, and my whole body was shaking.

I can almost imagine how shocked and painful it was at that time!

At this moment, a hand reached over and gently cupped my cheek, his fingers were as strong as ever, his palm was as warm as before, but at this moment, it only made me feel pain. I was held in the face by him, looked up at him, and heard him say dryly, "What if I say, this qiē - I don't know?" ”

I looked at him for a long time, and finally choked up, "Impossible." ”

"Why?"

"Because it was Pei Yuanzhen who you killed."

“……”

"Yuan Xiu
