The murder case of Broken Cloud Xuan has been silent not long ago, but there is one person who has been haunting him, this person is Mo Fei, he thinks about it, and always feels that all this is not a coincidence. Yin Zhuo was implicated by his son, and Ji Yu killed by mistake, so what about Yan'er? Doing it again and again in the hunting grounds, it doesn't look like his temperament, it's like someone has set a trap waiting for him to jump in!

Could it really be that as Yan'er said, Zuo Qing is not loyal to himself?

Murphy rubbed his brows tiredly, his internal organs churning because he had not slept all night. He leaned on the bookcase, moved his stiff legs, and sat down in his chair. The tea on the case has cooled early, the stove has been extinguished, and the whole study is cold and unbearable, but it keeps him awake all the time, soberly recalling every detail about Zuo Qing, and soberly thinking about whether his so-called flattery is a deception.

But he never believed that the child he had poured all his feelings into would one day use the most cold-blooded means to give himself a fatal blow!

He gave him supreme rights, let him get acquainted with all levels of power, and he cultivated him as an heir, but why......

The next day, the news of the marriage between the second son of Yan Guo and the daughter of the singer family spread all over Rong Guo, and sure enough, Emperor Rong postponed the marriage between Xilou and Buddha to next winter, but this is the best result for Xilou, as long as the marriage contract is in place, the court ministers of Yan who participated in the election of the prince will be re-evaluated.

It's a pity that Buddha has become a victim of this game of chess.

The corridor of the temple was as quiet as if it were uninhabited, except for the cold wind blowing and the rustling of leaves. Su Yan dragged his tired body along, and his mind was full of Buddha's marriage. She didn't know whether this sooner or later marriage would be good or bad for the Buddha, and what impact it would have on the singer.

She sat feebly on the threshold, looking at the clear water in the cloister, stunned.

A string of slight footsteps broke the silence, someone in the distance came slowly with a lantern, the pale blue skirt appeared and disappeared in the shaking light, she saw the person's face clearly and was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Buddha? Why haven't you slept yet? ”

"When I saw you distracted here, I couldn't sleep." He sat down next to her, pinned his hair behind his ears, stared at her sideways, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Su Yan couldn't bear to mention the marriage with her, so he casually remarked: "It's nothing more than a matter of the school." ”

"I think I'm thinking about Zuo Qing." Buddha Zhen's words really startled her, and hurriedly defended: "In the cold winter, I'm not crazy to have the leisure to think about an ice cube, it's not cold enough?" ”

"And what are you thinking?"

"Academy!" Su Yan tapped her head and laughed at her, "What do you have in your head, I have to take you to the doctor!" ”

The Buddhist scriptures laughed at this, and said: "It's because Zuo Qing is using me, so you are angry." ”

"Zuo Qing is using you?" Su Yan couldn't believe her words.

"If it weren't for Xilou winning the competition, I wouldn't have doubted it."

"You see you're thinking about it a lot, Xilou already promised to help you, so naturally you have to do your best," he said, taking her shoulders and patting her lightly on the shoulder, "If you lose, I won't beat him to death!" ”

"If I believed it in the past, but now I ......," she said to her with a wry smile, "Xilou didn't want to help me at all, because it was Xihuan who chose a son-in-law at the beginning, not me." Help me? It's just an excuse. She looked at the lake quietly, "Sister Su, sometimes onlookers are confused, but I have always understood that whether it is Xilou or Zuo Qing, or you and me, they are just puppets of this city, and they can't help themselves for a long time!" Just like my marriage contract with Xilou, sooner or later it will be abolished by His Majesty, I am just a chess piece, which can be used and discarded. ”

Su Yan was in a dilemma, she didn't know how to comfort the Buddha, she was helpless about the pain in her heart. Just like the Buddha said, they are all puppets of this city, Zuo Qing is to Murphy, Xilou is to Yanguo, Buddha is to the singer, and they ......

Oh, since she stepped into the city gate, she couldn't go back for a long time.

But she doesn't allow anyone to take advantage of the Buddha, even if she touches a single hair, now, in the future, never!

Su Yan stood up suddenly, and solemnly announced to her: "Since you call me Sister Su, I will treat you as my sister, from now on, I will not allow you to be sad, let alone let anyone bully you or snub you, as long as there is, no matter who he is, I Su Yan will definitely ask him to repay it a hundred times and a thousand times!" ”

Buddha looked at her for a long time, until Su Yan gently pushed her, and then nodded slowly. Su Yan took her into his arms, stroked her thin back with his palm, and couldn't help feeling distressed in his heart, "If you have anything on your mind, you must tell me, whoever bullies you, I will help you fight back, I will always be by your side to protect you!" ”

"If Zuo Qing bullies me, what will happen to you? Kill him, or ......"

Left ...... Zuo Qing? Su Yan looked at her in disbelief. Buddha looked back with a smile and said coldly, "Who you love, I'm afraid even you don't know." ”

The corners of Su Yan's mouth twitched fiercely, "Do you think that Zuo Qing and I ...... What's ambiguous? After saying that, I regretted it, only to see the Buddha tilting his head, a rare playfulness. She seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded affirmatively and said, "You still like Zuo Qing, I can see it." ”

Su Yan's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "Maybe...... Maybe I knew him early, so let others misunderstand. Just talk to me about what you say, but don't let Xilou hear it, otherwise it's time to be vinegared. ”

Buddha Zhen's face flashed faintly gloomy, and he smiled instead: "But sooner or later, you have to face it." ”

Su Yan was entangled and her head became bigger, she really didn't want to use the word 'stalking' on her, so she simply pushed her out, closed the door, and begged for a clean ear.

But as soon as the Buddha left, she couldn't fall asleep in the quiet boudoir. Looking back on what happened in the past, the murder case in the back mountain, the hunting assassination case, and the case of Xuanyunxuan's hidden corpse, one by one, seemed to be getting more and more out of control.

After a while, the academy was talking about the dismissal of Mu Shun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saying that he had said the wrong thing, which annoyed His Majesty, and he was dismissed within a few days, and he went home to retire at a young age. Su Yan remembered that the person who proposed to make Buddha the county lord at that time was Mu Shun, and he thought that it was because he was dismissed.

Everything returned to calm again, this day was a good day, Zuo Qing didn't know where to get a carrier pigeon, and took a letter that only the West Building could understand to Wan Chaofang, it happened that Su Yan was also there, after learning the content of the letter, he didn't say a word, slaughtered the pigeon and made a tooth sacrifice. Xilou originally intended to go alone, but Su Yan clung to it like a dogskin plaster, and was stunned to stick to Xinghan Pavilion.

I saw Zuo Qing standing under the ginkgo tree, the courtyard was full of gold, and he was the only one with a touch of white, lined with the snow on the mountain peaks in the distance, which was very beautiful.

Seeing Su Yan and Xilou coming together, Zuo Qing's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he turned around and walked inside, and when the two of them caught up, he had put on a smiling face, and instructed Yansheng to make tea and add carbon, like a gentle and considerate host.

The West Building was born and ripened twice, and he found a seat to sit down, picked up the tea and was about to drink it, when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What day is it today?" ”

Zuo Qing said: "The baby I found that day has to trouble you once." ”

"What do you suspect?"

"I don't know, it always feels weird."

"It's okay, it's just a trip, but it's tricky, you have to wait a few days."

Su Yan looked at the West Building and then at Zuo Qing, not knowing what they were talking about, so he took care of himself. And when Xilou got up and was about to leave, she simply stuck to the chair and lifted Erlang's legs.

Xilou looked at her, and then at Zuo Qing, and knew it in his heart.

Su Yan looked back and forth on the two of them, but didn't say it immediately, just stared at the tea leaves floating back and forth.

Zuo Qing also understood in his heart, please sit down again in the West Building, and the three of them faced each other, each with their own concerns.

"If you want to ask, just ask."

"The little princess's illness is your hands and feet." She wasn't asking, she was sure. Su Yan looked at the sunken cheeks from the candlelight, and saw that he should have been sick for a long time. If it weren't for the Buddha, she really couldn't bear to question him face to face.

Zuo Qing and Xilou glanced at each other, and they exchanged ideas.

"Yes."

"The reason why the Buddha replaced him was also your hands and feet."

Zuo Qing replied without thinking: "Yes." ”

"Presumably, Mu Shun will propose to His Majesty that he be replaced by Buddha without knowing whether he is alive or dead, and it is also you who secretly provoked him to be your substitute ghost."

Zuo Qing pondered for a while, and corrected her words: "I am to blame for this matter, it is true that I got the desired effect in this matter, but Mu Shunke did not become my substitute ghost." ”

Su Yan frowned unhappily, extremely dissatisfied with his dying struggle, "I speak, don't refute it." Zuo Qing only nodded helplessly and gave up resistance. She continued, "That Jing Yufei, even the eyebrow knife is your person, how many people do you still have in Ruoshui?" ”

Zuo Qing looked at him calmly: "Is it important?" ”

"It's not important, just curious."

"It's just curiosity, why bother asking, it's not good for you."

Xilou opened the folding fan, fanned himself violently, looked out the window with his eyes, and complained: "Why is it getting hotter and hotter on a cold day, Zuo Qing, you hurry up and let Yansheng reduce some carbon, it's too hot!" ”

Su Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued: "I just feel angry, I begged you to help the Buddha with a dead face, I thought you were sincere, but it turned out that you were not your pawn." ”

Zuo Qing's face was a little embarrassed, after all, he was still a little unbearable to be broken like this. Trying to sort out her gaffe, she explained, "What I did was helping her!" ”

Su Yan refuted angrily: "Where is it to help her, it is obviously to help Xilou stabilize his position!" ”

"Buddha is the lord of the county and enjoys the same treatment as a princess, which can be regarded as the face of the singer."

When Su Yan heard such an explanation, he was angry: "That's a good thing, the two of you are in a mess, and the devil knows what you are still plotting!" But you shouldn't take advantage of your friends and hurt other people's hearts! ”

Zuo Qing stared at her with a solemn face: "In this Shura field, the chessboard of fate is never biased towards anyone, if you want to win, you have to become a chess player, so that you can protect the person you want to protect." Blindly being foolish will only put you in a difficult situation, and it will be difficult for you to move an inch. ”

"Ridiculous!"

"Don't worry, even if I sin more heinous, I won't hurt the Buddha, I just want to get what I want."

"And what exactly do you want?"

Zuo Qing was suddenly silent, for a long time, slowly stood up, faced the door, and let out a long sigh.

Since then, Zuo Qing has never wanted to mention this matter again, and even the West Building can hide. Su Yan, who asked to no avail, finally gave up, just like Xilou admonished, there are some things, it's better not to know.
