In the Jin Pavilion of the Hou Ye's Mansion, Princess Evergreen and Ling Yun were heart-to-heart, and after a conversation, her eyes looked at her son like a gloomy autumn water: "Tell me, how can I help you?" ”

Ling Yun pondered slightly: "My father is also an important minister of the imperial court, and he is highly respected; And the prince of Jinling is also a Dan heart, the sun and the moon can be seen; If the few of us can unite and conspire together, then it will be just around the corner to find out the case of the prince and avenge Lord Lu Zhaoxue. ”

Princess Evergreen's dark eyes were starry, "Zhichao, what do you mean......"

Ling Yun said: "When my father comes back, please ask my mother to tell my father the ins and outs of the matter, and then join forces with the prince of Jinling to go to the palace with the child to meet the saint, explain the truth of the prince's case, and what happened in the prison later, and then ask the saint to adjudicate." ”

Princess Evergreen's originally slightly frowned brows tightened a little at this time; She lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Looking at his mother's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Ling Yun's heart unconsciously throbbed, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything wrong? ”

Princess Evergreen said softly: "Zhichao, let me tell you the truth, I have lived with your father for so many years, and I know his personality best." Alas, he is a person, just like the water in Qinfang Lake in our Hou Ye's Mansion, which seems to be clear and clear, but in fact, it is bottomless, secretive, and you will never be able to see through him......"

When Ling Yun heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

In fact, for the words of the evergreen princess, how could he not feel it? It's just that no matter what, He Yuting is also his biological father, in this helpless situation, if he doesn't ask for help from his father, who can he turn to?

He thought for a moment and said, "Mother, you are thinking too much. I believe in my father, in fact, even if it is not for Lord Lu, but for the fact that I am his son, I think he will definitely help me. ”

Princess Evergreen was still a little worried, and said, "But ......"

Ling Yun said: "Otherwise, my mother can find an opportunity to test my father's tone these days." It would have been great if he had promised to help me; On the contrary, I won't complain about him, because everyone has their own ambitions - not to mention that it is also a difficult and dangerous thing to show up the grievances of Lord Lu. ”

Princess Evergreen finally nodded hesitantly.

Ling Yun's face suddenly changed and said, "Someone is coming—Mother, I'm leaving!" ”

Princess Evergreen grabbed him and said, "Zhichao, ...... you Are you really leaving? ”

Looking at his mother's reluctant eyes, Ling Yun's heart was sour, and a smile barely squeezed out of his face, "Mother, I will come back in a few days, if there is anything, please contact through that white pigeon." ”

With that, he turned his face and smiled affectionately at his mother. The sparks swirled in those clear eyes, the heart was up and down, and a thousand words were in the eyes.

Then he gently pushed Princess Evergreen's hand away and turned away.

When he reached the door, he easily untied the sleeping hole of the two maids, Biyun and Yancui.

The two maids came back to their senses with an "ah" and looked at each other with confused faces, suspecting that they were in a dream.

At this time, the housekeeper He Luwei also arrived with a few family members and a nursing home......

In the early morning of the next day, the mist was thick and the surrounding scenery was blurred. The morning sun shines through the sparse foliage and casts dappled light and shadows all over the ground, moving with the wind, staggered and changing, dazzling.

He Yuting came back, his spirits were sluggish, his face was full of tiredness, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Princess Evergreen wondered, "Pony, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

He Yuting said sullenly: "It's okay." He turned and walked to the inner room.

The evergreen princess exclaimed, "Wait, there's something I want to discuss with you. ”

He Yuting said weakly: "Let's talk about it later, I'm sleepy now, I'll go rest first." As he spoke, he entered the inner room.

The door slammed shut in front of Princess Evergreen. stared blankly at his indifferent back, and a trace of loss welled up in his heart. She suddenly felt that the estrangement between herself and He Yuting was so deep.

At this time, the maid Biyun came to report: "Princess, the lord of Huanyu outside asks to see you." ”

"Let her in."

Suddenly, the lord of Huanyu County led his son He Tianci in.

She was full of vegetarian clothes, with white flowers on her temples, her face was pale, and her jade face was bleak. Her thick and slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and her originally bright eyes were now empty and empty.

She stood there coldly, like a lonely magnolia flower, lonely and dustless, revealing a bit of desolation and loneliness.

And the little boy next to her, He Tianci, is also dressed in snow-white filial piety clothes.

Looking at her makeup, Princess Evergreen couldn't help but be stunned, "Huanyu, you are—"

Huanyu raised her face slightly, her eyes were a little wet, "Mother, have you forgotten what day it is?" ”

After being reminded by Huanyu, Princess Evergreen suddenly remembered that today was He Chengqi's 100-day death, and couldn't help but say: "Alas, it's really fast, Qi'er has been gone for more than three months......"

Huanyu bit her lip, which was barely bloody, and said silently, "Maybe there have been too many things that have happened in the past few days." Mother, leave this matter to me, and the housekeeper will accompany you, so you can rest assured. ”

As she spoke, she looked down at her son next to her and said, "God, say goodbye to grandmother." ”

He Tianci is now five years old, and the big watery eyes on his round face seem to be black and white, which is very cute.

At this time, when he heard his mother's instructions, he clenched his hands into fists like an adult, and said crisply: "Grandmother, my grandson has said goodbye!" ”

With that, he grinned; The corners of his mouth showed two shallow dimples, which looked very much like He Chengqi.

Looking at him, an indescribable sourness rushed to her throat from the bottom of her heart, and Princess Evergreen suddenly felt like crying......

The ancestral ancestral hall of the He family is located at the foot of the beautiful Lingshan Mountain.

Here are pine and cypress, and the scenery is pleasant. According to Mr. Feng Shui, here is the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing the aura of the sun and the moon, it is really a treasure of feng shui, and the He family will set up the ancestral shrine here, which will bless the descendants and prosper.

The lord of Huanyu was dressed in snow white, standing in front of He Chengqi's tombstone in a daze, looking at the cold words on the cold tombstone, and couldn't help but think of Mr. Feng Shui's words about the prosperity of people and the blessing of his descendants, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The wind was bleak, stirring her messy hair.

The paper money was on fire, like countless gray butterflies, flying all over the sky. In the flickering firelight, it slowly turned into ashes, just like her gray heart that was sinking a little bit.

From the row of offerings, incense, paper money is incinerated to address the deceased...... Before and after the matter, He Lu handled it single-handedly.

This shrewd and capable steward of the Hou Ye's Mansion has always been handy in dealing with these scenes - otherwise He Yuting would not have valued him so much and trusted him.

He Chengqi's biological mother, Yu, also came as a matter of course.

She sat in front of her son's tombstone and cried until she cried so badly that the dark clouds changed color and her eyes were almost bleeding.

Who can understand the pain of the loss of a child in this heart-wrenching mother? Because she lost not only her own son, but the hope she had accumulated little by little after how many years she had worked hard in the Hou Ye's Mansion.

Everyone silently looked at the grief-stricken mother in front of them, and in addition to many sympathetic tears, there was only a helpless sigh.

It was not early, and He Luwei instructed his subordinates to pack up fruit and vegetable tributes, incense and candles, tables and other items, and prepare to go home.

But at this moment, the sensitive man suddenly felt that the movement behind the tree was abnormal, and he couldn't help but be startled, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Who? ”

There was a cold laugh from behind the trees, and dozens of black-clad masked men armed with sharp blades flashed out from behind the strange mountains and rocks hidden by the trees......

He Yuting woke up from the nightmare and sat up from the brocade couch, only to be drenched in cold sweat, and his heart was pounding wildly.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then realized that the knock outside had been ringing for a long time.

He settled his mind and said weakly, "Come in." ”

The housekeeper He Lu stumbled in.

His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, his eyes were black, his lips were trembling, and he was covered in blood.

When He Yuting saw his description, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Housekeeper, what's wrong?" ”

He Luwei threw himself down in front of He Yuting, and cried bitterly: "Master Hou, the slave deserves death!" The minions failed to take care of the county lord and the little boy, and they ......"

He Yuting only felt that his head was "buzzing", his housekeeper has always been shrewd and capable, and he is not chaotic, when has he ever been so panicked?

His hand trembled and he held He Luwei and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's wrong?" ”

He Luwei cried while intermittently explaining what had happened to He Yuting.

It turned out that after the sacrifice was completed today, He Luwei was about to call everyone to pack up their things and turn around, when the black-clothed masked men who suddenly appeared were already holding murder weapons and surrounded them.

Most of the people who came to the grave this time were women and children; Although there are also some family members who come with them, they are all mediocre in martial arts, how can they be the opponents of these thieves with strong martial arts and fierce violence?

So in the face of the group of vicious murderous demons in front of them, people who were almost unarmed and unprepared for any thought became the headless souls of the underworld in a blink of an eye, and the dripping blood stained the white marble steps in front of the tombstone......

He Luwei's panicked and hoarse voice came into He Yuting's ears, like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears, and his reason was instantly blown to pieces.

He Yuting only felt that his eyes were black, his brain was blank, and he seemed to be unable to hear anything for a while.

It took him a long time before he came back to his senses, and he asked with a strong spirit: "That...... What about the county lord and the little boy? ”

He Luwei said: "The county lord, the little prince and the aunt of the Yu family were all kidnapped by them!" …… Before leaving, a masked old man handed a letter to the minion and asked the servant to pass it on to the Hou Ye - if it weren't for this, the minion would probably not see the Hou Ye alone......

Speaking of this, he still had palpitations and couldn't help crying again.

He Yuting heard that the county lord of Huanyu and his grandson Tianci were temporarily unharmed, and his heart, which was originally tightly gripped, was slightly soothed.

He raised his head and exhaled softly, and said dumbly, "What about the letter?" ”……
