King Xiu hung his head and stopped moving, his gentle smile was fixed on Junxiu's face, and he no longer had the twisted and hideous appearance just now.

And from the time he was stabbed to the time he took his last breath, he didn't say a word to Emperor Xingyuan, and he didn't even glance at the person who had shouted "Father Emperor" for twenty years.

There was silence in the hall.

Emperor Xingyuan just remained motionless, staring at King Xiu.

He tried to recall what King Xiu looked like when he was a child, but found that it was just a vague shadow, existing in an inconspicuous corner.

This discovery made Emperor Xingyuan's heart sink even more.

I don't know how long it took before he spoke: "Drag it out." ”

Xin Yu left with He Qingxiao, and the smell of blood in the hall seemed to linger on the tip of his nose for a long time.

"I can avoid it." She spoke suddenly, her steps a little scrambled.

He Qingxiao quietly looked at the pale girl, and held her wet, cold hand with a warm hand.

"The moment King Xiu made a move, I wanted to see what he was going to do and what he was thinking." Xin Yu grabbed He Qingxiao's hand and stared at the ground with lowered eyes, "Now I know......"

"Ayu, don't think too much. How others do is his own choice. ”

"I understand." Xin Yu nodded slowly, "But I'm still a little uncomfortable." ”

She has made fish in the water, birds in the sky, this vermilion wall and golden tile, and the palace gate is deep, which makes her more and more unable to breathe.

Send Xin Yu back, and He Qingxiao will return to the palace to deal with the follow-up matters.

King Xiu's death couldn't be hidden, and it soon spread.

The hundred senses shook.

"King Xiu is too irrational, even if he can't be a prince, he will be rich and noble all his life as a prince, why do you do such a thing with a hot head?"

"Maybe I can't accept such ups and downs, and I have drilled the tip of the bull's horns for a while."

"But I haven't gotten up yet."

"Ahem, maybe it's because of the long-term repression ......"

In the harem, Concubine An heard the news of King Xiu's death, and rushed out crying screaming, surrounded by the palace people.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I'm going to find my Ping'er, you can't help but let me see my Ping'er......"

The palaces could faintly hear Concubine An's desperate cry.

Princess Xuan walked quickly into Concubine Li's bedroom and hugged Concubine Li.

"What's wrong, Xuan'er?" Concubine Li was taken aback.

Princess Xuan buried her head in her biological mother's arms, and tears fell: "Mother, the eldest brother is dead......

When she heard the news of King Xiu's death, Concubine Li felt uncomfortable. This is not because of what feelings she has for King Xiu and how deep her friendship with An Concubine is, but because the rabbit and fox in the same situation are sad, and things hurt her.

"Mother, I'm afraid ......" Princess Xuan's body trembled, and her voice choked.

She didn't have much to do with this brother, but she still couldn't control her sadness and fear.

Miss Xin was hunted down that day, and the eldest brother died today. Is it that bad luck will fall on her and on her mother one day?

"Don't be afraid." Concubine Li stroked her daughter's back, "It's good to get out of the pavilion, and then you will live your life in peace......"

The Queen Mother learned of the death of her eldest grandson and went to the Qianqing Palace in person.

"Why is the queen mother here?" Emperor Xingyuan was in a low mood and looked sad.

"The mourning family has come to see you."

Emperor Xingyuan's heart warmed a little: "Don't worry, the queen mother, my son has experienced a lot." ”

"How can that be the same?" The Queen Mother paused and muttered, "It's my own child, it's going to be uncomfortable......"

She thought that she had never gotten along, so she was not sad at all, but she was still uncomfortable.

It was a piece of flesh that had fallen from her, and she knew that if she opened her mouth, he might live, but she was silent and let him die.

It's true that you don't regret it, and it's also true that you feel uncomfortable.

"Son, set up the prince earlier, so that everything will be divided."

"My son knows, and when the spring begins, he will set the prince."

The result of the treatment of King Xiu was to take away his title of prince and be buried as a concubine.

Threatening to use a knife in front of the emperor, no matter what Emperor Xingyuan thought in his heart, punishment was necessary. This is not only a punishment for King Xiu for doing something wrong, but also a warning and deterrent to others.

On the last day of the year, the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet was held as usual, but there were fewer people attending King Xiu and less An Concubine.

Concubine An went crazy, and everyone in the harem heard the rumors, and no one dared to talk about it. Empress Zhou sent a steady and honest palace person to take care of it, and the news did not spread outside the palace for the time being.

Xin Yu didn't come either.

As a person who was held hostage by King Xiu and saw King Xiu die with his own eyes, Emperor Xingyuan had nothing to say about her absence.

And the Queen Mother seemed to have forgotten about it, and there was almost no speech at the palace banquet.

This was probably the quietest Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, and even the youngest prince was careful when eating, not daring to make a louder noise.

Xinyu's side is much more lively.

The shopkeeper of Qingsong Bookstore Hu and others, Kou Qingqing's nurse Mama Fang, and some brothers of Wuyunzhuang led by Xiaoba were all invited to the Xin Mansion.

There are still paintings to be drawn to the father and son, and as for other colleagues who get along well, they can't come because they have a family and a mouth.

There are seven or eight tables in the hall, and a separate table is set up across a row of screens, where Shopkeeper Hu, Liu Zhou, Mama Fang, Xiaoba and others are all on this table, as well as He Qingxiao and Aunt Gui.

Xin Yu first respected Aunt Gui: "In the past, I had to be taken care of by Aunt Xia, and when I came to the capital, I was taken care of by Aunt Gui, so I took advantage of today's gift to Aunt Gui." ”

Aunt Gui had tears in her eyes, but her smile was sincere: "It is a blessing for a slave to be close to a girl." ”

Xin Yu re-respected the shopkeeper Hu, Liu Zhou and Zhu Xiaoyue: "Thanks to your support, our bookstore is thriving, and I have done what I want to do." ”

Shopkeeper Hu wiped the corners of his eyes: "The old man didn't do anything, the bookstore was half-dead when the owner didn't take over, and the owner fought for his own energy." ”

Originally, he was worried that the owner would get married and have children and delay the business, but he never thought that the owner was still alone now.

The old shopkeeper sometimes has a weak heart, isn't it that he used to talk too much and didn't want the owner to marry, and was remembered by the old man, right?

Liu Zhou opened his mouth to say a string of auspicious words, and Zhu Xiaoyue said: "It's right that I respect the owner, if I didn't have the owner, I'm afraid I would have been——"

Xin Yu touched the wine glass in Zhu Xiaoyue's hand and didn't let her continue.

More than a month ago, He Yushi asked the shopkeeper Hu to be Baoshan to propose to Zhu Xiaoyue, and when the spring flowers bloom, the two will get married, and there are still many good days.

"Mama Fang, I wish you all the best." At this time, Xin Yu didn't mention Kou Qingqing.

Mama Fang's eyes burst into tears: "Thank you girl, and I wish her all the best." ”

"Hachi, you work hard to take care of the farm."

Xiaoba is now also a person with the rank of military attaché, and he still looks like he is out of step in front of Xin Yu: "It's not hard to do things for the girl." Heck, if only the sixth brother were there. ”

The six masters and Xiaolian are still in Guangcheng and have not returned.

"Since I entered the Hanlin Academy, I have had a lot of care from my brother. Brother Painter is highly skilled and enthusiastic, and I am very fortunate to be a colleague with you. ”

I want to cry a little.

Obviously, it was he who was stained with Miss Xin's light, whether it was in Hanlin Courtyard or at home, so he got better.

After all the salutation, Xin Yu looked at He Qingxiao.
