"That's nature." Ah Jiu walked down the corridor and returned to the backyard with cheerful steps.

Seeing that the cluster of white peonies is blooming beautifully, and a lot of young shoots and grass have grown in the yard, it is really a good year for Ruixue, and this year is definitely more moisturized than in the past few years.

Xue Zhen squinted at the enduring peony flower with his hands behind his back:

"Master, do you remember how the Dragon Gate became extinct."

Ah Jiu smelled a breath of opposition at this time: "How did it go extinct?" ”

"Because the Shenlong clan is extinct, so the Dragon Gate is naturally useless, even if Zihui coincidentally becomes the master of the door, it will not be able to glorify the lintel, you help him like this, I am afraid that a good intention will be in vain."

This is Xue Zhen's opinion, but for Ah Jiu, it is not unreasonable.

Ah Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the serious Xue Zhen with a sideways face: "Anyway, what will happen to him when he returns to the master's gate, then it doesn't matter to me." ”

Xue Zhen didn't continue, and changed the subject: "Just outside the mansion, you can notice the person standing in the stone lion?" ”

Ah Jiuyi shook his head in a daze: "Who?" ”

"Lady Snow."

Ah Jiu suddenly felt a chill rise from his spine.

This...... But no matter how you say it, I don't know if she knows that Alain is dead.

And if she tells Mrs. Xue directly about Tuoba Yan, it is inevitable that she will go straight to Kyoto to find her son.

What kind of place is Kyoto, it's a place that is easy to enter and not easy to return, plus Mrs. Xue's special status, not to mention retreating.

"That'...... And she's gone? Ah Jiu asked cautiously, and then told Xue Zhen about his concerns.

Xue Zhen nodded: "I think it's better to tell her directly, the paper can't hold the fire if it is dragged down, as for how she chooses, that's her business." ”

Ah Jiu gasped, and said it easily.

At this time, someone from the house came to spread the word, saying that Mrs. Xue wanted to see Meng Jiu'er.

Ah Jiu couldn't help frowning: "Xue Zhen, if you tell me about this, I really can't say it, and I don't know where to start." ”

Xue Zhen bowed.

Den. Ah Jiu did not entertain Mrs. Xue in the flower hall outside.

Several guards in the backyard were all shunned by Ah Jiu.

A pot of flower tea overflows the aroma of the tense atmosphere in the study.

Ah Jiu poured a cup for Mrs. Xue first, and saw that she hadn't seen her haggard cheekbones sink deep in more than a month.

The corners of Mrs. Xue's mouth tugged stiffly: "Nine girls, can there be ......"

Madame Snow's eyes were full of sorrow, and there was no improvement, and her face was sickly, and she coughed in the middle of speaking.

Xue Zhen took over and said, "Mrs. Xue, our master and apprentice learned of Mrs. Lan's death the day after they arrived in Kyoto. ”

Ah Jiu swallowed a breath of air, this Xue Zhen didn't know how to turn a corner, and it was unacceptable to say it directly, look, Mrs. Xue's eyes widened, and it was visibly covered with a layer of fog.

Ah Jiu was just about to open his mouth to comfort, but Xue Zhen made up for it again:

"Alan assassinated the emperor on the execution ground, and Ning'er is now in prison waiting to be beheaded."

"......" Ah Jiu looked at Xue Zhen and looked at Mrs. Xue.

Madame Xue's face instantly turned stupid and pale, and the corners of her bloodless lips twitched a few times before she said:

"Ning'er...... Imprisoned? ”

"Not bad." Xue Zhen slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said calmly:

"Things from the past may come to the surface because of your desire to find a child, and the consequences can be unimaginable."

Only then did Ah Jiu understand why Xue Zhen spoke so directly, this was telling Mrs. Xue that if she continued to die, even including Meng Jue, Meng Lie's son would not be able to keep it.

Mrs. Xue is naturally very intelligent, and after her eyes wandered for a while, her eyes finally cleared up a lot:

"That ......" stopped talking.

Ah Jiu only spoke at this time: "Madam Xue said bluntly, I have known about the Meng family and you for a long time, Concubine Chang, I am very experienced with you." ”

A sentence of Concubine Chang made Mrs. Xue's pupils tighten instantly.

She opened her mouth for a moment without uttering a word.

Her expression went from nervous and frightened to calm for a long time with a cup of tea, and in this tea time, she seemed to recall it again from the day she married the emperor to the present.

The air is still and the pin drop can be heard.

Xue Zhen was not in a hurry, just waited for Concubine Chang to calm down on her own.

"Since you ......" Concubine Chang straightened her waist, the sadness in her eyes was replaced by a majesty, and she slowly got up:

"Since you have known my background for a long time, but you have never said it, you are protecting yourself and me."
