The sound of You Yan's flute has been around the Su Mansion for three days. It should have been a clear and melodious music, but it was played by Su Huanqing to sound tragic, making people cry. But no one really cares about his sadness, because now people are panicked.
News of the murder of the fifth lady of the Su Mansion, who was named Princess Xianya, quickly spread throughout Southern Qi. Although the emperor sent people to investigate the matter, there was no news at all for the past three days.
Dali sent a new peace treaty and asked Nan Qi to marry the real father-in-law. The Emperor of Southern Qi was furious. The real princess and the conferred princess were not of the same nature at all. After the emperor was persuaded by his ministers, Lexi finally reluctantly sent Princess Luhua, whom she had always loved, to the wedding car.
But things didn't end there. As soon as the wedding party left, Princess Lu Hua and her party were attacked by a group of gangsters, targeting Princess Lu Hua. After Ji Hengxuan took Princess Luhua, who was covered in blood, to repel the gangsters, he could no longer save the princess' life...
Half a month later, Qingfeng Tower.
"Weixing, go and persuade Huanqing." Wang Zhen tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Xie Weixing, who was drinking wine one after another.
Putting down the wine bottle in his hand, Xie Weixing glanced at him and sighed softly: "Why should I persuade him? It seems that I am also a sad person... "
Wang Zhen coughed slightly and raised his eyebrows: "But I feel that you already know the facts. Otherwise, according to your temperament, you would not have dragged me to drink together that night, but you would have been a hero to save the beauty. .”
"No, what Mr. Zhen said cannot be said nonsense." Le He, who was sitting silently, said. Suddenly he slapped his brain again and suddenly realized: "Wei Xing, did you really help that little girl?"
"Is there evidence?"
“…”
Le He patted his shoulder with his big hand and said with a smile: "As expected of Xie Weixing, he hid it so closely from us!" After thinking about it for a moment, he frowned and said, "That's not right. According to Jiang Zheng, Blue The fire burned all the houses in her yard to ashes, leaving nothing behind. Even with your head and six arms, you couldn't help her escape the fire?"
Xie Weixing heard the words, but just smiled and said nothing.
Wang Zhen shook his head: "Your Highness, if he doesn't want to say it, even if you pry open his mouth, he won't say it."
"Oh, you're such a fool, I don't know what my father will do if he finds out!"
"Then please, Your Highness, keep Wei Xing's secret secret."
Le He curled his lips: "I'm afraid my father already knew about it, but he just didn't want to pursue it."
"It makes no difference to me whether I will pursue the case or not." Xie Weixing threw away the jade bottle in his hand, stood up, and looked down at the two of them: "I'm going to find Huanqing."
Watching Xie Weixing go out, Le He and Wang Zhen were silent for a while. Their joking expressions disappeared, and both of them had serious faces.
There was silence for a long time, the wine in the jug not moving at all.
"Your Highness, it's better not to count on him anymore."
Le He lowered his head and was playing with the jade bottle that Xie Weixing left on the table.
"Your Highness..."
"Okay, you don't need to say any more. I'm going back to the palace first. If the relationship between Dali and Nan Qi remains tense, it won't do me any good."
Le He put down the jade bottle in his hand with some annoyance, stopping Wang Zhen from continuing to persuade.
Recently, people in the streets and alleys of Nanqi are talking about Princess Xianya and the courtyard where she lives were devoured by a burst of coquettish fire. As a result, the rumors are getting worse and worse. What's more, some people connected the mysterious death of Princess Lu Hua with the incident in Su Liuyuan, saying that it was because God did not approve of the marriage between Southern Qi and Dali that he sent a sign to stop it.
Lexi was troubled by these rumors and ordered the arrest of several major rumor spreaders, but she still couldn't stop the rumors from spreading at the speed of the wind. On the other hand, they must try their best to communicate with Dali and continue the marriage between the two countries.
However, Dali believed that the two marriages failed because Nan Qi failed to fulfill its responsibilities and demanded compensation from the city.
The court of the Southern Qi Dynasty was divided into two factions. One faction was headed by Prime Minister Su, who was in favor of ceding the city to pay compensation, and the other faction, headed by Lu Mingfan, was in favor of sending troops to fight. No matter which one it is, it is harmful and unfavorable to today's Southern Qi.
Prime Minister Su was busy with this day and asked Su Huanqing to help, but he refused, and the relationship between the father and son collapsed again.
"Thank you, sir!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xie Weixing met a person and paused for a moment.
"Miss Pearl."
"Thank you, Mr. Xie. Mingzhu is polite." Su Mingzhu bent her knees, her eyes were rippling, and she spoke softly, "Long time no see, Mr. Xie, how are you doing lately?"
Xie Weixing nodded lightly, but looked in the direction of Qu Chiyuan.
Su Mingzhu was thoughtful, lowered her head, showing sadness on her face, and choked with sobs: "Oh, I don't know what kind of evil the fifth sister has done, but she was swallowed up by the demon fire, and she made Nan Qi suffer such shame! It's really pitiful and sad. !”
"Do you think it's her fault?" Xie Weixing had an inexplicable smile on his face.
"What's wrong with Fifth Sister? It was her life that was wrong! Last time she accidentally fell into the lake and managed to save her life, but this time..."
"Fourth Miss," Xie Weixing raised his hand to interrupt her and looked at her with burning eyes, "Fifth Miss once told me that the maid who pushed her into the lake was someone close to Third Miss."
"How is that possible!" Su Mingzhu blurted out. After realizing that she had made a mistake, she hurriedly covered her mouth and frowned, "I think she must have seen it wrong..."
Xie Weixing stared at her closely for a long time before looking away: "No matter what, this matter is over. If Liuyuan wants to find out the truth, she must have turned into a ghost, and she will also pester that person!"
Su Mingzhu's face suddenly turned pale, but she still forced herself to smile: "Yes, yes."
"I'm going to look for Brother Su. I'm sorry."
"Young Master, please excuse me." Su Mingzhu bent her knees and said lowly.
After Xie Weixing left, Su Mingzhu raised her head. The hand hidden under Su's wide sleeve was already red from being scratched and must have been in pain, but she ignored it. His face was still pale, and he stayed there for a long time before slowly walking away.
Half a month ago, this place was still a land of lush trees, flowers, and chirping insects, but all of this had been destroyed by the sudden fire. If it were an ordinary fire, perhaps after half of it was put out, there would still be a vague shape left before destruction, but wherever that burst of strange blue fire passed, there was no trace left behind, and the houses, vegetation, and trees were all destroyed by it. Swallow it all. Wherever it passed, there was ashes. Once the wind passed by, the ashes were gradually blown away, leaving only black embers on the ground. If you don't know that this place was once a courtyard, you won't notice anything strange about the openness of this place at first glance!
Xie Weixing stood in front of a line of black ash, lowered his head and grabbed a handful of black sand. These were the sand after being burned by the blue fire. I brought it to the tip of my nose and smelled it gently. The aroma was the same as the aroma that emitted that night. It was very quiet and light. If you weren't careful, you might not notice it at all.
"Did you find anything?"
As he was squatting on the ground, concentrating on the aroma that made him feel so familiar, a man wearing black boots with white soles and a snow-white gown appeared in front of Xie Weixing. Looking up, if this person is not Su Huanqing, who is he
It's just that his originally smooth chin is no longer covered with green stubble, but instead has a beard more than an inch long. Xie Weixing threw away the sand in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at the person in front of him and suddenly laughed happily.
"Why are you laughing?" Su Huanqing's face remained unchanged, her voice was slightly hoarse.
"If you go out now and let the girls in the boudoir and the aunts and sisters on the roadside see you, they will definitely wonder when another unparalleled handsome man appeared in the capital!"
Su Huanqing ignored his joke, looked down at the sand thrown by Xie Weixing with thick eyebrows, and said, "I have figured out some things in the past few days, but there are still some things that I need you to clear up for me."
P: Gay cat? I haven’t been a fujoshi for many years…
In addition, I would like to thank Princess Xiaodao and Fairy Lingzhu for the reward, thank you!
