In the night, Lin Yinping fell asleep. Xiao Yu quietly walked out of the small courtyard and walked alone towards the Lingfeng Pavilion on the top of Xiaoxiang Mountain. There are four pavilions in Xiaoxiang Mountain, which are Lingfeng Pavilion, Linfeng Pavilion, Tingfeng Pavilion and Yingfeng Pavilion. The windward pavilion is at the foot of the mountain, the wind pavilion and the Linfeng pavilion are on the mountainside, one is one is one dangerous, only the Lingfeng Pavilion is high on the top of the mountain, overlooking the middle capital, take the meeting when the Ling is at the top, and the meaning of the mountains is small at a glance.

This emperor-sized mansion, after one of the owners fell ill again, was quite gloomy and bleak, and after the other owner returned, not only did not reverse this atmosphere, but made the haze shrouded in the Xiping County palace aggravated.

The servants, maids, and guards were all cautious, for fear of touching the prince's mold, so not long after the sky darkened, the entire mansion was already silent.

After Xiao Yu walked into the Lingfeng Pavilion, he went straight to the top floor, sat on the ground regardless of his manners, and looked at the bright moon rising outside the window in a daze. The moonlight fell on his python robe, and the two dragons emitted a faint glow. Many people think that Xiao Yu disdains the title of the king of Xiping County, but in fact, what few people know is that Xiao Yu actually values this title very much. The so-called loyal ministers invite fame and sell their names directly, and the so-called ministers abuse power to accumulate wealth, in the final analysis, it is not just for the sake of fame and fortune. The title of the king of Xiping County is both a name and a benefit.

Under the bright moon, the lights in the central capital are lit, and from time to time you can see the night patrol cavalry walking by with torches, and the cycle repeats.

The bright moon is still the same, and the world is impermanent.

Xiao Yu is not an alcoholic, but at this moment, he suddenly wants to drink. As the saying goes, a drink relieves a thousand sorrows, and there seems to be some truth. Xiao Yu laughed at himself and said softly: "Yuyi, don't hide it, come up." ”

Xiao Yuyi timidly walked up from the second floor, wearing a thick winter coat and a small fox fur, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, I can't sleep, I ......"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, now that you are also the county lord, how can you still look like a cowardly promise?"

With Xiao Yu being named the king of Xiping County, Xiao Yuyi, who is Xiao Yu's righteous daughter, has also risen, according to the laws of the clan, in addition to the special seal, the emperor's daughter is the princess, the prince's daughter is the county lord, and the daughter of the county king is the county lord, so Xiao Yuyi is naturally named the county lord of Anping, which is equivalent to the treatment of the country.

Xiao Yuyi's face flushed, a little overwhelmed.

She was originally a pair of orphans who depended on her brother in Julu City, but she was taken back to the palace by Xiao Yu by chance, and since then, it has been like a dream, and she has become the county lord?!

How big is the position of the county magistrate? It is the same as the county order? Even if it is the same as the county order, it is still a big official, you must know that there are tens of thousands of people in a county!

Xiao Yuyi didn't quite understand what to do to be like a county lord.

Xiao Yu realized it and said, "Blame me, I should have hired a teacher for you." ”

Xiao Yuyi pinched the corners of his clothes and looked down at the tips of his shoes that exposed the hem of his clothes.

Xiao Yu stood up, tightened his cloak on Xiao Yuyi, and said softly: "It's cold at night, go to bed earlier in the future." When I'm not around, go and spend time with you...... Your stepmother. ”

Xiao Yuyi, whose little face was flushed, nodded vigorously.

Xiao Yu took her little hand and said softly, "I'll send you back." ”

One big and one small, two people went downstairs and then down the mountain.

When he walked to the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yuyi suddenly asked, "Father-in-law, are you going to leave again?"

Xiao Yu sighed lightly: "Yes, this time I want to go to the Eastern Capital." ”

Xiao Yuyi was silent for a while, and plucked up the courage to say, "But the people in the house said that the stepmother was about to ...... It's dying, and she's definitely hoping you'll be by her side. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then his face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "Who is chewing his tongue and talking nonsense?

Xiao Yuyi was so frightened that his little face turned pale and he wanted to cry, but he still bit his lip tightly and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yuyi is very sensitive, and she is a child, few people will be defensive in front of her, so she can clearly perceive the attitude of the people around her towards her, and because of this, she will feel that the woman who treats her coldly on weekdays is one of the few people in this huge palace who really cares about her. Although the woman she should call her stepmother would put on a cold face every time she saw her, when she really heard the news that she was about to die, Xiao Yuyi still felt a sense of hesitation and sadness.

Since Xiao Yu brought her back to the grassland, she rarely cared about her, her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all Lin Yinping's responsibility, unconsciously, Lin Yinping had overlapped with her imagination of her mother's parents, even if Lin Yinping was not very close to her, most of the time, she was still like a little tail, quietly following behind Lin Yinping.

Until Lin Yinping's condition worsened, the man named Lin Han kicked her out and forbade her to see Lin Yinping. That's why she ran alone to the Lingfeng Pavilion, which was empty on weekdays, hoping to be able to see Lin Yinping's small courtyard from here.

Xiao Yu's face was cold, completely lost the demeanor of the county king on weekdays, and there was only Sen Sen's murderous intent left in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Lin Yinping will not die, absolutely not!"

Xiao Yuyi's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and then the little girl with a very fairy name suddenly cried: "My stepmother will become what she is today, you are all harmed, you are a bad person!"

Xiao Yu was like being struck by lightning, his eyes were red, and he raised his right hand with a hideous expression.

Xiao Yuyi didn't know where to get the courage, although she was already trembling, but she still looked at Xiao Yu without flinching, and choked up: "You are not at home all day, where were you when those people were angry with her? Where were you when she quietly vomited blood? You said! Didn't you say that you liked her the most? So where are you?"

Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and after being stunned for a long time, he put down his hand dejectedly and muttered, "I owe her." ”

Xiao Yuyi wiped the snot and tears on his face, and his crying voice became even more desolate in the silent night: "Father-in-law, please, can you save your mother-in-law?" ”

The little girl had a sad expression on her face that did not match her age, and without her brother, she already knew what life and death were.

These words, adults don't want to say, dare not say, don't want to say, can't say, but now a childish girl has pierced the last layer of window paper.

Xiao Yu, who was wearing a python robe and had the most noble identity in the five northwestern states, had no words for a long time, and had never shed tears in front of people, this former Xiao concubine, who had also been scolded by Xiao Rebellious, looked up at the sky and cried silently.

Xiao Yu said hoarsely: "She was seriously ill three times, I saved her twice, many people say that I value love and righteousness, but if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be seriously ill, you are right, I owe her." I have been indebted to her since Lin Yinping followed me, and now that I think about it, I didn't let her live a comfortable life for a few days. ”

Xiao Yu suddenly remembered a sentence that his grandfather often said: "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?"

Xiao Yu laughed miserably: "I can't keep my daughter-in-law, the king of the northwest." ”

Under the moonlight, in the night breeze, one big and one small, whimpered softly.
