The news that the servant of the Ministry of Officials was given the title of Dongyi Marquis by Emperor Jiayi, and the news that Feng Zhaoyi's family was copied for plotting against him, were scattered in the streets and alleys of Shangjing that had been washed by the heavy rain, and almost everyone was discussing the recent ups and downs in the court.

"I heard that it was the servant of the Ministry who overcame all difficulties to expose the conspiracy of Phoenix Villa, and it also involved many famous families!"

"Ouch! Several noble families have also been copied before!!"

"Ho, some of them were not only copied, but also sentenced to death, the confiscation of the army, the beheading of the decision, and even the nine clans, I witnessed the King Ye led the troops to kick the three dynasties and has been retired for three years Huanguo Mansion, the old Huanguo Duke and the current Huanguo Duke of Chengjue were punished in front of their own mansion, both heads were cut off by King Ye, and the cries of the ladies shook the sky, but the soldiers brought by King Ye brought out more than 4,000 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from their mansions, how many people fat and people's anointed, these corrupt officials and filthy people should be arrested and punished on the spot！”

The rumors that continued to ferment slowly came out of Yuzhu's mouth word by word, and Liu Ya leaned on the chaise longue in the study half-lying and half-sat to listen to her continue to report:

In view of the fact that the impact of this matter was too bad, Emperor Jiayi committed the crime of corruption and corruption in the case of human trafficking, and King Ye was responsible for all matters of raiding the house, according to preliminary statistics, there were seven princes including Ganlian, nineteen dukes, twenty-six marquises, thirty-three earls, one hundred and forty-two other titles, four hundred and fifty-one large and small officials, three hundred and twenty squires, and four thousand six hundred and ninety people who acted at the grassroots level like the Zhang family, and the number of them has been eliminated by those who have been wiped out in one way or another。 ”

At this point, this black ship, with a total of 5,688 people, finally capsized.

**

The withered yellow leaves fall leisurely, gently caressing a few plum blossoms that can't wait to open with the cool breath of early winter.

Liu Ya opened half of the window, lazily lying on the warm quilt to read, when she heard the knock on the door, she didn't raise her head and said, "Come in." It wasn't until the afterglow touched a silent plain moon white that he turned his face suspiciously, "It's you—" exclaimed and laughed, "Is everything settled?"

"Most of it is ready, so I will thank you. The moon-white stood beside the bed and said.

"Where's the thanks?" Willow Bud glanced at his empty hands.

"I don't have enough time to prepare, but if you're in a hurry to get something, I don't mind giving it to you as a gift. A glittering seriousness flashed in his eyes, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled in a very paradoxical way.

Liu Ya took the book and sat up, "How do you know that my family is missing a sweeper? But if a farmer like you comes to my house to work, the salary will not be good." She didn't plan to lie down for a day, so she didn't change her clothes during the nap, and now as soon as the quilt was uncovered, she revealed a special new daffodil gold embroidered cotton skirt, and the bright yellow on the stamens set off the white and transparent face even more dusty, and the meat that had been carefully raised recently became very bright with her smile.

"Thanks to your help, Phoenix Villa can be reborn like a phoenix-" Feng Zhiyang said sincerely, "Even if you sweep the land for your family for a lifetime, I am also willing, and I will not charge a penny of salary." ”

"You saved yourselves. ”

On that day, she asked Jiang Zhiyu to ask He Guifei to intercede for the Feng family and 'dedicate' to Emperor Jiayi, to 'test' the sincerity of the Feng family's repentance with poisonous wine, and also to 'test' Emperor Jiayi's attitude towards the Feng family, and then whoever 'willingly' drank the cup of poisonous wine that even Emperor Jiayi didn't know contained in it, who could be reborn.

He said with burning eyes, "It was you who built a strong bridge for us, paid 300,000 taels out of your own pocket to set up a 'Zhongshan Hall' dedicated to handling follow-up matters, and also provided a subtle and complete 'rescue plan', so that I can atone for my father's sins for the rest of my life and make up for the mistakes made by him and his relatives. ”

"And what's your name now?"

Lin Liyang. ”

Liu Ya smiled and said, "Although it's only the first time we've met, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Feng Zhiyang, who changed his surname and name, was stunned, and then opened his face with joy, "Me too, I'm glad to meet you!"

**

At the same time, the Flower Room Building of the Lu State Mansion.

In the side hall with warm decoration, Mo Kaichan took a sip of warm honey water, and He Na, who was wearing a pink and blue dress, came.

He Na, who inadvertently looked at him with his head raised, shyly and crampedly hugged the yellow book in her arms, and blessed him with a red face, and Mo Kaichan waited for her to sit down, Fang asked steadily, "Are you okay?"

He Na nodded, flipped up the yellow notebook, took out a charcoal pen that she carried with her, and wrote, "I'm fine, I'm just sorry for biting you in a panic." Her words fluttered like clouds but were unusually neat, "Thank you for not being surprised at that time and saving me." ”

"It's just a matter of hands, you're fine. Mo Kaichan lifted his sleeves to reveal his arm that had no signs of bite and said, "Look, it's okay, you don't need to blame yourself." As if trying to dispel her uneasiness, he raised his lips and smiled.

He Na only felt that her heart, which had been beating extremely fast inexplicably since she entered the door, became more agitated, and her cheeks seemed to be buried in freshly boiled water, she was busy hanging her head and pretending to nod calmly, just when Jiang Zhihua and He Yi came with a smile, which greatly relieved her restraint and overwhelm, slightly relaxed and already accustomed to being a mural, Jiang Zhihua, who listened to the greeting, said to He Yi, "The banquet set up by Ya Ya, only invite relatives and friends to participate, Xiao Na also come, it's just in Liufu." ”

**

Liu Ya had just sent Feng Zhiyang away, and Mo Qiutong, who had gone out to buy things, came back with a maid and guards full of large bags and small bags, and couldn't wait to say, "I just saw Ah Xiu and Liu Baoying in the market, but they didn't seem to have made an appointment, Ah Xiu left when she saw her, but she chased Ah Xiu and cried on the street, my sister guessed who appeared-" She blinked her eyes gossipingly.

"Ah Xiu's mother. Liu Ya indifferently poured down a cup of flower tea and handed it to her.

Mo Qiutong said in surprise and admiration, "How did my sister know?"

"Your expression betrays your mood to watch the show. ”

Ah Xiu's mother was a face-saving person, but she didn't make Liu Baoying ugly on the street, and invited her into the private room of the restaurant next to her. Mo Qiutong said, "Ah Xiu is also together, I can't run over to eavesdrop, so I squatted at the door and waited, and it didn't take long to see Liu Baoying come out in despair, and not long after Ah Xiu also helped his mother out, unlike the apprehension before entering the door, he seemed to be very disappointed, but his mother was still graceful and calm, as if nothing had happened. ”

Liu Ya easily guessed what Mrs. Gui Yibo and Liu Baoying said in front of Ming Gengxiu, and couldn't help but want to light a candle for Ming Gengxiu who was sandwiched between them, so she heard Mo Qiutong say again, "By the way, when I came back, I saw a plaque hanging in the house on the opposite side that had been out of work for a long time, and the words 'Murong Mansion' were written. ”

"It's the house that Murong Zhao, the lord of Peach Blossom Pond, has set up for his sister and brother in Beijing, I promised to treat his younger brother Murong Jin's legs, and the two families will often come and go in the future, you don't have to hate him for helping Ruan Youyi speak before, everything is just a ploy between him and Yuwen Qiupage. ”

Mo Qiutong put down the teacup that had just taken a sip and said, "My sister wants me to take a sip of tea, I can no longer mind, but is the thorn in my sister's heart gone?" She slowly touched the raised lifelike patterns on the wall of the cup and smiled, "After staying by my sister's side for a long time, I found that my sister is a hundred times more gentle than I thought, always subconsciously thinking about others, hoping that everyone I like can be well, but I always ignore myself." She didn't want Liu Ya to be hurt, and she always felt that Yuwen Qiuye was not a good match.

Liu Ya supported her face next to the edge of the table, bent her eyes and looked at Mo Qiutong who was worried about her with a smile, "I don't just compromise for him this step by step, if he is unscrupulous in these things, no matter how much I like him, I will not cooperate, and no matter how reluctant he is, he will also break the thoughts in his heart."

But looking back on the past, what he turned out was all hidden dirt, although everything seemed to be only to achieve his own goals, but he tried his best to save the victims involved, obviously for him to kill Queen Fan was to avenge his mother, but he did not do this, but chose the most difficult path, step by step for the countless grievances buried deep in the dirt, in the face of my invitation, maybe he also wavered, but always adhered to his heart, I appreciate him this——"

"I didn't expect Ya'er to like me like this—like this!" the cool voice sounded lazily with a thick smile.

Liu Ya raised her eyes, and saw Yuwen Qiuye leaning against the door refreshed, a pair of good-looking eyes seemed to be filled with brilliant soft light, looking at her for a moment, and walked towards her step by step, and then swore ownership and kissed her lips domineeringly, and said to Mo Qiutong, "Me and Ya'er are a pair made in heaven, and no wind can blow away." ”

He suddenly turned his face and stared at Liu Ya with a sparkling gaze, "She is also the only princess I identify." ”

Mo Qiutong saw that Liu Ya did not resist, so he rolled his eyes and walked away.

And the door was closed, Yuwen Qiuye couldn't wait to kiss Liu Ya's soft and sweet lips again, and she was reluctant to toss and turn with her body several times, she gasped lowly, "When you return to Beijing after reviewing the details of the officials from all over the country, it should be the New Year's Day." ”

"Copying the family has always been a fat poor, don't keep an eye on it, those oil and water that should be attributed to the people, should be pumped clean, and my heart is hanging on the buds, even if I leave Beijing for a few days, I don't want to, and now it will be a few months to leave. Yuwen Qiuye said aggrievedly, "When I think of having to go back to the days when I think about Ya'er and I don't know how to eat, I want to take Ya'er away with me." The hand holding her couldn't help but tighten a little, "so as not to worry about who will abduct you." ”

Liu Ya listened to his sour meaning and said, "King Ye is not like such an unconfident man. ”

The beloved woman kissed two men in a row, no matter how full of self-confidence she was, Yuwen Qiuye said wistfully, "Ya'er is so good, there are so many jackals, tigers and leopards staring at you, you are like this (kissing and hugging) like that (and rolling out of bed) I have never been willing to give me a name, of course I can't help but worry that I will be abandoned at any time." ”

"Why don't I think there are other jackals, tigers and leopards around me besides you?"

Thinking of this, Yuwen Qiuye wanted to wipe a handful of bitter tears for himself, if those jackals, tigers and leopards were shallow, he would not be worried, but one by one they were particularly good at hiding, and one by one they were pretended to be the most harmless vegetarian animals, so that Liu Ya did not notice at all, and if he was not careful, he might be eaten dry (crutched) and wiped clean (run), okay, fortunately, now that the court is in trouble, he is busy, and they are also busy, so as not to let them take advantage of his loopholes, and quietly sneak over to dig his corner:

"In my heart, the buds are so beautiful that everyone wants to take a few bites of the fragrant dumplings, when I think that this piece of fragrant dumplings is not covered with my own marks, and the bad people are worried all day long, I will not be sure where to go. ”

Why does this sound like forced marriage, Liu Ya hid the bright smile that crawled from the bottom of her heart to her lips, and said to him left and right, "In order to protect her children, Empress Fan has summoned all the black hands, and Your Majesty has allowed her to leave with dignity under the pretext of dying of illness, and she will be 'executed' in a few days, what do you plan to do with Ruan Youyi who is still in prison at that time?"

"Yao Pingshi has gone to Beijing with her 'criminal evidence'. "He doesn't care about the authentic.

"In the end, she came forward without hesitation to help you avenge the murder of your mother. That night in prison, he pretended to save her, carefully arranged for her to leave Beijing, and when she invited him to elope with her, he told her all these years of hardship and the secrets buried in his heart, and showed weakness helplessly, aroused her compassion, and made her take the initiative to resolutely propose to bring down Empress Fan for him.

That's it, so that Ruan Youyi fell into the bottomless pit he had dug step by step.

"If it weren't for the end of this matter that I set up, she would have become a new grasshopper on that black boat, so this credit will never be able to offset what she has committed, and she has never felt that what she did (dirty) for her selfish desires was wrong. While her liking for him did make the plan smoother, the word liking was never a reason to murder someone else or to commit murder.

The thorn in her heart was completely gone, and Liu Ya smiled with satisfaction, "I'll wait for you to come back—" She hugged his neck and kissed him on the lips, "Well, the kind that no one can run away." And he was overjoyed to turn the passive into the active deepening of the kiss, and the rising heat took the place of the rest of the words, and responded with a beautiful sound.

"Miss, King Qing asks to see you. "Liu Ya was baking fresh herbs just delivered by Huimingtang in the greenhouse, and Zhu Yu came to report.

Regarding this expected 'request to see', Liu Ya didn't raise his head and said, "Please wait in the front hall for a while." When he changed into thick clothes and went to the front hall, he saw King Qing looking at the persimmons on the table in a daze, she coughed lightly, and he suddenly came back to his senses and got up to greet her.

After a few salutes, Liu Ya motioned for him to sit down, swept the thick tired color in his eyes without a trace, and asked indifferently, "I don't know why King Qing came this time?"

"Ah Chen asked the king to take good care of you before leaving Beijing, but the princess came back from the Western Desert, and she never lacked thoughtfulness around her, and she didn't need to be taken care of by the king. King Qing lowered his eyes and picked up the cup of fragrant flowers and herbs on the table.

"My old problem, King Lao Qing is worried. Liu Ya said, "Now there are no more troubles, I feel relaxed, and I don't see any problems with my body." She picked up the tea handed by fennel and took a leisurely sip, then picked up a small lantern-like persimmon and said, "This is the last batch of autumn persimmons from my aunt's Zhuangzi, my cousin made them by hand according to the recipe given by the old man of the Jin Dynasty's mansion. ”

King Qing raised his eyes and watched her break out a small piece of persimmon and stuff it into his mouth, and after a little hesitation, he picked up a persimmon that had left a unique color in his childhood memory, the thick hoarfrost bloomed on the tip of his tongue and melted sweetly, and the bitten persimmon flesh was softly wrapped around his teeth and cheeks, chasing the sweetness that had not yet melted and dancing, outlining the old picture sealed in his heart, he said in a trance:

When she first saw Youyi, she took such an ugly persimmon cake and asked the king if she wanted to taste it, and the king had never eaten any exquisite snacks, and waved it away in disgust, but she didn't cry or annoy, she picked it up, blew the mud and dust, and ate it one bite at a time, and then took out a yellow paper bag from her arms and handed it to the king again, stubborn and sincere, but the king didn't want to accept her intentions, and the grandfather told the king that the king was a meeting gift made by herself, and took out a persimmon cake and broke it in half and shared it with the king. ”

Liu Ya listened silently, and he said, "Although I have only tasted it once, this king still remembers the unique taste." He paused and continued, "Just like her simple appearance before, this king knows that she has repeatedly hurt the princess in bad ways, and he also feels that she is not worthy of forgiveness, but she has always been the cousin of this king and the childhood friend of this king, and she can't ignore her, and ask the princess-" At this point, the corners of her lips raised slightly with a cold mockery, "After King He Ye used her, let her live." ”

She was unmoved and finished eating the remaining persimmons before raising her eyes, "It would be good if King Qing also asked Huiguo Gong to give the second brother a way out of life that day." Liu Ya looked at him for a moment and said, "Does King Qing know what it's like to die with the heart of being abandoned by his father and being abandoned by someone he trusts like a brother, and he wants to fulfill his brother who favors Chengjue?"

"The eldest brother and the second brother are your companions, you are like brothers and sisters with them, and you want to benefit the country and the public interest, what about you?" she said softly, "Do you think that Du Xinchen, whom you know, is a person who is willing to accept the glory and wealth accumulated by his own brother's flesh and blood? If he is really a friend, how can you be willing to make him feel sad? In your heart, nothing compares to that position, so why pretend to be a brotherly and make jokes in vain?"

"In your eyes, is this king such a merciless person!"

"Isn't it?" Willow Bud met his angry gaze without fear.

"Anyone can accuse this king of being unkind, but you can't-" King Qing desperately restrained his anger and clenched his fists, pinched the innocent persimmon into an unrecognizable mud ball, and threw it heavily on the ground, "Do you think your trick with King Ye is really seamless!" he said and got up and walked towards her, "If it weren't for this king deliberately hiding from the queen mother and his dealings with Ruan Youyi, the queen mother would have secretly killed Ruan Youyi, which turn to get you to follow her to set off the old bottom of the Huaiyang General's Mansion-"

"Didn't King Qing think about why the queen insisted on marrying Ruan Youyi to the Huaiyang General's Mansion back then?" Liu Ya's light words stopped him from continuing to walk towards her, and at this time, the guards came to report:

"Princess, there is a servant in the palace, Emperor Jiayi invites you into the palace. ”

Liu Ya frowned and said, "Do you know what's going on?"

The guard glanced at King Qing on the side and said, "It seems that Queen Fan's condition has changed-" Before the words fell, he felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and King Qing, who was still some distance from Liu Ya, grabbed Liu Ya's hand and pulled her towards the door, "Princess-" He hurriedly blocked King Qing's way.

King Qing grabbed her wrist very hard, she struggled again and again and failed to break free, but asked him to deliberately clamp her harder and harder, "I will enter the palace, you let me go quickly!" She glared at him with an expressionless face in displeasure, turned her face and instructed Fennel, "Tell Qiu Tong them, don't worry about me." ”

**

Palace.

Liu Ya stepped into the luxurious dormitory, and saw the imperial doctors kneeling under the dragon power of Emperor Jiayi, and Queen Fan on the bed had a sallow face full of old age, and she could no longer find a trace of the delicacy of the past.

When Emperor Jiayi saw her, his dark expression lit up, "Mo Xie, come and see what's wrong with the queen, why she has taken a lot of medicine, but her illness is not getting better, and it is getting more and more serious!"

Liu Ya walked to the side of the bed to check the pulse, and also perfectly interpreted the appearance of not knowing the inside story, the frowning eyebrows gradually tightened, and muttered: "I need to do a little examination of the queen's body to determine the cause, please Your Majesty and all the palace people, including the palace people who are waiting, step back for the time being." ”

Emperor Jiayi responded very cheerfully, and with an order, he led everyone in the hall out.

Liu Ya summoned the secret guard who followed with a gesture, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he took out a silver needle from his arms and pierced the big acupuncture point on his head, and after a few seconds, Queen Fan, who was dying (faint) and sleeping, woke up, and in a few blinks, she was no longer at a loss, but looked at her coldly and resentfully.

She said disapprerovingly, "If the queen wants to die happily, it's best to answer my question honestly, I have read your confession, and there is no mention of the Huiguo Mansion, except for the Huiguo Mansion, who else are you hiding for King Qing?"
