A few days later.

The plaques covered with cobwebs, the once magnificent gate with two whitened seals, and the two mighty stone lions beside the steps are no longer what they used to be.

Two strange figures stood on this cold street for a long time, ignoring a few strange glances passing by.

Mu Longyuan glanced at the woman beside him carefully, but he didn't expect this girl to say a few words, so he asked Emperor Yun to promise to let her revisit the old land and come to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, which had been raided and destroyed.

The heart of the emperor, even if this thorn has been removed for many years, the traces will never disappear.

Xia Qianwei made such a request in the name of Mrs. Dai, undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, and there were still calls for the rehabilitation of the Marquis of Yongding in the Yun Kingdom, and now the Yun Emperor didn't even care about avoiding suspicion, which shows how strong his desire for the Huatuo Secret Book is.

"My father was kind to his mentor Hua Tuozi, such a tragedy happened in the Xia family, and his only apprentice died unexpectedly, as Hua Tuozi's wife, it is reasonable to come to this old place to remember his beloved apprentice."

Xia Qianwei seemed to feel Mu Longyuan's doubts, he must have been curious about how he lobbied the Cloud Emperor to allow them to come to this forbidden place.

Mu Longyuan restrained her expression, now she has no shying away from her former identity in front of her, and also, since the two of them know each other, why hide it.

In order to avoid extraneous complications, Xia Qianwei chose to go all the way from the back door, and when the two entered the Hou Mansion, they seemed to be speechless by the scene in front of them.

There is no end to the land, everything has been turned over, it is no exaggeration to describe it as digging three feet into the ground, and together with the beam overhead, every corner seems to be reenacting the scene when this place was searched by heavy soldiers, and you don't need to think about it to know what they are looking for.

The hand in his sleeve was held tightly by Mu Longyuan at some point, and he found that Xia Qianwei's movements were a little stiff from the beginning.

She finally came to her senses, and the anger that had surged in her mind faded like a tide at this moment.

She knew that although Emperor Yun had promised to let her enter the Hou Mansion, he had also sent people to observe them secretly.

"I'll take you to my father and mother." I saw the woman in front of me smile slightly, and Mu Longyuan's eyes crossed a trace of light.

He had already inquired about the affairs of the Yongding Marquis's mansion, when the Yongding Marquis was accused of treason, the bones were long gone, and the Xia family was also thrown on the mass grave at will, could it be that she didn't know?

But he didn't want to, quietly guarding her all the way, Xia Qianwei really led him to the location of the mass grave outside Beijing, on a hillside facing the magnificent palace, a few inconspicuous small mounds attracted Mu Longyuan's attention.

At this time, Xia Qianwei suddenly let go of his hand and knelt down towards those mounds without monuments and words, Mu Longyuan instantly understood something.

It turned out that the courtiers who had received the favor of the Marquis of Yongding dared not speak out, and they couldn't bear the Xia family to fall into the field, so they quietly collected the discarded bones and buried them here.

It's a pity that the body of Yongding Hou was pierced through the heart by random arrows in the palace, and it has been burned by the order of Emperor Yun, and they only took his clothes and fell into a clothed mound.

The rest, buried by her mother and siblings.

Except for Xia Rouchun and Xia Rouxuan, sure enough...... Not a single one is missing.

In the dark, several guards who monitored them only felt a little strange, so they heard Xia Qianwei say loudly, "Master Hou, the concubine is late, the husband thinks of Lord Hou's life-saving grace back then, but he can't save the Xia family in danger, and now His Majesty has promised to return the innocence of the Xia family, and the spirit of the Hou family in the sky may be blind?!" ”

Yes, what kind of emperor face, what if Emperor Yun wants to rebel in front of his life?

Xia Qianwei knew the truth that the monarch wanted the minister to die, if her father was still alive, as long as Emperor Yun said a word, even if he wanted to kill himself in public, he would not have the slightest complaint.

Her father was such a man, but he was so faithful to the ruthless king......

As a daughter, all she can do is to protect the glory of the Xia family, keep her father's reputation, and prevent him from being poked in the backbone by unwitting people a hundred years later, and spurning him as a heinous traitor!

God knows how much courage it takes for Emperor Yun to restrain this unwilling hatred at that time, but she also understands that now that everyone in the Xia family is gone, she can't go against her father's loyalty, and really let the Xia family be accused of killing the king.

Cloud Emperor ...... There will be his retribution.

At this time, Mu Longyuan opened the hem of his clothes and knelt beside Xia Qianwei, kowtowed to the mound and said, "Hou Ye rest assured, from now on, the lowly will protect Mrs. for the rest of her life, and will no longer let her suffer the slightest grievance. ”

The guards in the shadows couldn't help but glance at each other, and the words of the guards beside Mrs. Dai were also very strange, but they were harmless.

At this moment, Xia Qianwei only felt that the boulder that had been pressing in her heart for a long time had finally fallen, and she slowly stood up and looked at the golden palace from afar.

It's ridiculous to say, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but behind this desolation, how many heroes' relatives shed tears and broke their hearts?

It's time to ...... It's over.

……

The night was deep and the lights were on, but the outside of the Yongping Palace of the Cloud Emperor was extremely cold.

After a closer look, there were no half palace people and guards within 100 meters, and there was a faint sound of disturbing and suffocating movement in the wind.

The curtains scattered in the wind, the messy dragon couch, and a bright yellow figure crawled in the direction of the tea with difficulty, and the emperor who was still imposing in the day was wearing a cloak at the moment, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were full of painful bloodshots.

He only felt the discomfort of burning in his throat, his hands were bruised, and he struggled to pour himself saliva to drink, but the next second he suddenly curled up and hugged his arms tightly, gritting his teeth and refusing to make a sound.

For a while, it was like falling into an ice cellar, and soon it seemed to be deep in magma, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have fallen into a poisonous wormhole......

Sweat had already soaked his silk undershirt, and finally, a terrible scream tore through the sky.

The bright moonlight seemed to be unable to dissipate the filth of this temple, and the mortal body could no longer endure such a torment of life and death, but the eyes of the man on the ground gradually changed, and the ambition to live and realize his great cause was supporting him to survive such a hellish test.

This night was so long, but no one dared to ask half a sentence, after all, the last palace person who inadvertently broke the embarrassed appearance of the Cloud Emperor had already been sentenced to car splitting.

The sky was bright, a crisp bell sounded outside the hall, and soon, a dignified father-in-law stepped in cautiously.

The noble man who had fallen to the ground not long ago had already sat upright, his hair was already soaked, and his father-in-law handed over a clean handkerchief very familiarly, and Yun Huang wiped the sweat on his body expressionlessly.

"Did the prince reply?"

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and there was a kind of weakness for the rest of his life.

The father-in-law knew that His Majesty had endured to the extreme, and now the interval between attacks was getting shorter and shorter, which was disturbing.

“…… Also, there is no reply. ”

"Let me get back! If you don't obey the order, you won't be killed! ”
