On the day of Yimei's birthday, almost everyone in Murong Mansion got up early to get busy, of course, the little birthday star was not idle, she took two personal maids to pick plum blossoms in the garden early in the morning, saying that she wanted to make plum blossom rouge.

The mother was very helpless, "I don't study well, I don't like knitting, I like these rouge gouaches, and I don't know who is with them!"

"There's nothing wrong with girls liking to dress up, it's not a good thing to be too knowledgeable and polite. When his father said this, Yi Mei clearly saw that his eyes were a little helpless, and his hair seemed to be whiter than before.

It wasn't until noon that Shen Zishan came with his wife and children, but the two couples said that they were here to congratulate Yimei's birthday, but they looked sad, only Cheng Jun's thin face like the wind was smiling, and when he saw Yimei, he was red with shyness. Murong Wei saw Shen Zishan's strange appearance, so he asked, "Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?" Shen Zishan's face was even more sad, and his voice became hoarse, "The abolished prince led the army to rebel and was defeated, and the court is in the trend of landslides and ground cracks!"

"What are you talking about?" Murong Wei was about to faint as soon as his eyes were dark, in fact, where did he let go, he was concerned about the government all the time, he was concerned about the future of the prince of the country all the time, and he was worried about the people of the society all the time. After the crown prince was deposed, he firmly believed that the emperor was holy and the prince was smart, and he would definitely restore the prince to the throne after a while, but he didn't expect to wait for this result. Murong Wei was still anxious and incoherent, "You give me 1510 to explain what is going on?"

As soon as Shen Zishan wanted to speak, she was stopped by Mrs. Murong from speaking in the direction of Cheng Jun and Yi Mei, and Murong Wei said to everyone, "Let's talk in the house." ”

Cheng Jun and Yi Mei didn't care about the troubles of adults, they only cared about their own happiness in front of them. Cheng Jun took out a brocade box wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve, opened it, took out a hairpin, handed it to Yimei, and said, "Give it to you." Yimei looked at this little hairpin and liked it very much. The main body of the hairpin is beaten with gold wire, and a few petals are wound out at the top, inlaid with bloodstone, which is delicate and beautiful. Yimei was naturally overjoyed, and Cheng Jun was secretly happy to see her like this, but she still didn't forget to "invite credit", "This is what I worked hard to learn from my master and create it myself, do you like it?"

"I like it, thank you Brother Chengjun!"

"Then I'll put it on for you. Cheng Jun took the hairpin and was about to insert it, when a quick and domineering knock came from the door, accompanied by the sound of a more rude man calling for the door to open the door.

Cheng Jun was shocked and dropped the hairpin in his hand to the ground, but they didn't have the heart to look at it, but stood up and walked to the door, and the four adults in the house also hurried out, and at this time, the people outside the door had already rushed into the door. Rushing in was a group of officers and soldiers, led by an expressionless general, who immediately stood still and asked loudly: "Where is the great rebel sinner Murong Wei?

Great rebel sinner!

Everyone was startled when they heard these words, and Murong Wei walked tremblingly in front, kneeling on the ground, waiting for the emperor's holy decree to be issued. The others also knelt down one after another, and the general who pronounced the decree glanced at the people on the ground contemptuously, cleared his throat, and said: "According to the emperor's instructions, the great rebel sinner Murong Wei is deeply favored by the emperor, and he does not want to repay the society, and he conspires with the deposed prince to try to subvert the government, and the crime is not punishable. Today, after imprisoning Yu Linwei for three days, he will be cut down in the city to set an example!" As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates carried Master Murong away like an eagle catching a chicken.

Yimei and Cheng Jun were already completely frightened, only kneeling in a daze, at a loss, Mrs. Murong couldn't stop crying after reacting, and Cheng Jun's mother persuaded her on the side, but she looked clumsy and weak. When Yimei came to her mother sadly and tried to comfort her, her mother suddenly grabbed her hand and turned her head to Cheng Jun's mother and said, "The child will be handed over to you in the future, and you will take good care of her for me." After speaking, without waiting for others to agree, a mouthful of blood spat on the white snow in front of him, and spread out hideously.

"Mother......." Yimei couldn't shout out the sadness in her heart with all her strength, and her voice was drowned out by the fluttering snow little by little in the snow.

Mrs. Shen lay on the corpse of Mrs. Murong and cried bitterly, convulsing all over, as if it was her mother lying in the snow, Shen Zishan came to Yimei's side and asked Cheng Jun to help her up and comforted: "Child, if you want to be strong, I will go to the palace immediately and ask the emperor to take back his life." ”

"Then please come into the palace quickly and go to the palace to save Uncle Murong's life. Cheng Jun supported Yimei to help his father. Shen Zishan nodded and sighed again, and then said to his wife: "Madam, now is not the time to be sad, and it is important to arrange the future for my sister-in-law." ”

"Yes, the husband also has to be careful to deal with the emperor. Mrs. Shen stood up and helped her husband straighten his clothes, and the two of them looked at each other again, and at the moment when they looked at each other, a slight smile appeared on their faces. That smile seems to be proud, satisfied, relaxed, and happy after the goal is achieved.

Although their smiles were fleeting, Yimei could see them clearly, and she couldn't help but tremble.

It's getting colder.

As expected, the emperor did not forgive Murong Wei because of Lord Shen's intercession, but still decided to behead him at the entrance of the vegetable market three days later.

Yimei knelt in front of her mother's spirit, and while putting paper money in the brazier, she listened to Shen Zishan's self-blame, and coldly didn't even raise her head.

On the third day, Shen Zishan and his wife rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market early in the morning, but they didn't let Cheng Jun and Yimei follow, saying that they were children, don't watch that kind of bloody scene. Yimei didn't argue, and even she herself didn't even think about going, just nodded silently, glanced at the red plum tree in the garden, and walked over. Yimei walked to the stone bench under the plum tree and sat down, and found that the hairpin given to her by Cheng Jun three days ago was half buried by the snow, and was lying quietly on the ground.

"It's okay, I can build another one for you. Cheng Jun didn't know when he came behind him.

The golden hairpin was a little dazzling under the sun, Yi Mei took it and looked at it carefully for a long time before suddenly staring at Cheng Jun and asking, "Do you love me?" Cheng Jun was a little stunned by such a sudden question, and then nodded in embarrassment, Yi Mei then asked: "Are you willing to give me everything?" Cheng Jun nodded vigorously again without thinking.

"Then give me your blood, and I will make rouge. Yi Mei said as she thrust the sharp end of the hairpin into Cheng Jun's arm. Watching Cheng Jun's steaming blood slowly drip into the rouge box little by little along the hairpin, Yi Mei actually had a hint of satisfying pleasure.

"If you like it, it's fine!" Cheng Jun was so painful that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.
