"There is no reason, you are my friend, what do I call you Shaobai? Do you like me to call you Liu Gongzi?" Ling Xueman was puzzled, and finally, red lips begged, and whispered: "But , I don’t like to call Shengfen anymore, I'd better call Shaobai kinder."
Sunlight spilled in through the partition of the flower hall, shining on Ling Xueman's side face, the white cheeks were shining, the pair of cut water autumn pupils had a faint grievance, and the long and curly eyelashes flickered, suddenly light. With a light smile, the eyebrows are curved like crescent moons, and they are endlessly pure and immaculate, and they have endless amorous feelings.
Liu Shaobai was stunned for a while, staring at the jade-like face in front of him for a moment, forgetting to breathe, forgetting the words, but looking at her unblinking eyes, as if to remember her face deeply in his mind. Here, turn around again, leaving only memories.
When Ling Xueman came over, she did not bring Chuntang and Qiuyue, nor did Mo Lixuan follow. All the servants in the flower hall were dismissed by her wave when she came in. She knew that Liu Shaobai would not come to her for no reason. Because of her status as the Fourth Queen, he wanted to avoid suspicion, so as not to fall into the real situation, so today, it will only be for Liu Wutong.
Seeing him sluggish and absent-minded, she felt a deep sorrow in her heart. Their brothers and sisters were deeply affectionate, and they were born to a mother. At this moment, they must be anxious and sad for Wutong!
"Shao Bai..." Ling Xueman lowered her head and bit her lip, but she didn't know how to talk about it, what else could she say.
Liu Shaobai blinked, smiled faintly, with infinite sorrow, "Four Queens, if you want to be called Shaobai, just call, I naturally don't like your name Liu Gongzi, but... now, you still treat me as a friend. ?"
"Dang, why not? I have always regarded you as a friend. Although I am a little broken, I really regard you as a friend in my heart! Shaobai, don’t call me the Fourth Queen. Friends cannot have status. You're so grumpy, just like last time, call me Xueman!" Ling Xueman said a little eagerly, eager to show his determination.
Liu Shaobai pursed her lips lightly, looking at her anxiousness, her heart was messy and messy, sweet, sour, astringent, and bitter...
"Okay, I'll call you Xueman." He nodded lightly, the smile on the corner of his lips was the same as he had seen before, and the sun was charming.
"Haha, that's great." Ling Xue smiled with a loose heart suddenly.
Liu Shaobai walked up to the short table, picked up the pig-headed kite, turned his back to Ling Xueman, pursed his lips, turned around and chuckled, "Xueman, walking by South Street today, you can buy it and give it as you see it. Here you are, keep it for you. This weather is not suitable for kite-flying, and your body is thin. When next year, in the warm spring of March, the breeze is breezy, it is a good season for kite-flying."
"Shao Bai, why did you buy this pig head specifically? Hehe, I can't help but laugh at you again." Ling Xueman said as he took the kite, remembering what they saw when he was holding a little white pig. The eyebrows curled up with a smile.
"It's okay, just laugh if you want to laugh. Just be happy." Liu Shaobai curled her lips and whispered.
"Okay, then I will accept it, I will hide it, and wait until spring to fly a kite by the Moon Lake, or go on a walk, haha, if you see this pig head flying in the sky, you know it is me!" Ling Xueman is happy! Smiling, sweeping away the sadness just now, smiling like a flower.
Liu Shaobai looked at her and smiled softly, "Xueman, I always feel that you are different from us, you are not affected by the world, pure as a lotus, and laugh happily every day, playful and colorful. That day, I will enter the palace to do business. , Passing by Fengchen Palace, and seeing you playing football, you are like a boy, running happily, shouting loudly, expressing your inner happiness, anger, sorrow and joy unscrupulously. This makes me very envious and very happy for you. That’s how your life should be, joy and joy throughout your life. Xueman, I hope you will always be like this, don’t change, okay?"
"Shaobai, you, what's the matter with you? Do you have something to tell me?" Ling Xueman felt very wrong. How could this sound sound like a last word
"No, I just came here today to see you, and to say sorry to you." Liu Shaobai still chuckled like that, but he took a step back, and knelt down facing Ling Xueman with his robe, "Xueman" , I am not pleading with you for Wutong. She has violated the national law and should be punished. My eldest brother did not teach her well. She hurt you. I am very sad, Xueman, sorry!"
Ling Xueman was shocked. When he heard the heavy kowtow on the ground, Ling Xueman woke up in a daze, and hurriedly went to pull Liu Shaobai, "Shaobai, it's not your fault. Don't kneel on me, get up!"
"Xue Man, don't stop me, otherwise I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life!" Liu Shaobai did not move, and continued to knock three heads before he got up, looked at Ling Xueman's sad cheeks and smiled warmly, "Xue Man, Take care of yourself, I should go now."
"Shaobai, you..." Ling Xueman looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant, why didn't she beg her to let Wutong go
Liu Shaobai was still smiling, "It's ventilating here, you can go back to the room quickly, I have to go."
"Oh."
Ling Xue nodded blankly, then watched Liu Shaobai's Xuepai step out of the flower hall, leaving her sight.
Her heart sank suddenly, and she ran out immediately, shouting at his back: "Shao Bai!"
Liu Shaobai stagnated, turning around slowly, his smile was still warm, and his voice was still soft, "Xue Man, go back to the house."
"Shaobai, about Wutong..." Ling Xueman murmured her lips, unable to speak a complete sentence, as if a fishbone stuck in her throat, uncomfortable!
Far away, Liu Shaobai didn't know whether he heard it or not. He just shook his head, just repeating: "Snowman, it's windy outside, go back to the house."
The words fell, turned around, strode away, never looking back.
Ling Xue sat down on the ground, staring at the figure getting further and further away from her, until she couldn't see it, she was infinitely melancholy and irritable.
Throughout the morning, Ling Xueman had been thinking about Liu Shaobai, thinking about every word he said, guessing his intentions, but had no clue. It was not until noon when the housekeeper brought a news that she was completely shocked. !
"Mother! Don't get excited!" Mo Lixuan held Ling Xueman tightly.
Ling Xueman opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and asked with trembling lips: "Butler, you say it again!"
"The princess, the news that the minion heard was indeed that Young Master Liu surrendered to Dali Temple, saying that Liu Wutong was instigated by him to murder the princess, and all the guilt is on him, asking one person to bear the crime of murder!" The butler bowed his head and looked strange Repeated it again.
"Why, how could this be?" Ling Xueman shook his head, his face gradually turning pale, "No, it's not Shaobai, no, I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all! He must be to help Wutong get rid of sin, he I don’t want Wutong to be convicted of death, yes, it must be so, it must be!"
A few days later, Ling Xueman went to the public hall of Dali Temple, and many people came to hear the trial, including Emperor Mo Yuming and the princes.
After listening to Liu Shaobai’s confession, Ling Xueman sighed and said quietly, “I know, you and Wutong’s blood is thicker than water, and your brother and sister have a deep relationship. You did this for Wutong’s sake. I want to save your life. If you want to save her life, then I must save her first, nothing more, I don't care!"
With a bitter smile, Ling Xueman turned around and knelt down to Mo Yuming solemnly. The three heads knocked very loudly, "Father, Xueman doesn't want to worry about it anymore. Mrs. Liu is already in his senior years, and he is in the court and lost his son in old age. Bereavement, this is an unbearable pain for anyone. Xueman is blessed by the heavenly husband, and can escape from the dead again and again. This is already God’s favor on me. In this case, I also beg my father not to I'm held accountable, Liu Shaobai deceived the emperor, and he is helpless. Father is kind and righteous, Xue Man, thank you!"
Hearing this, Mo Qiyu said excitedly: "Sister-in-law! How can this be done? Liu Shaobai can let it go, Liu Wutong is very sinful..."
"Little Qi!" Ling Xueman frowned, pretending to be depressed: "She didn't kill you again, why are you excited? I am the victim, okay? I withdrew the lawsuit, so don't care about it."
"Dead... Sister-in-law, you, you don't know what is good or bad!" Mo Qiyufei was about to explode with anger, turned his head away, gasping bitterly.
Mo Qiyan and the other four did not say anything. Although they did not agree with Ling Xueman's decision, there was no reason to oppose it in front of Mo Yuming.
Liu Taifu looked at Ling Xueman in shock, and his heart was very moved.
Mo Yuming stared at Ling Xueman for a long time, and said with majesty in a seemingly plain voice: "The murder of the Fourth Princess by Liu Wutong, temporarily pressure! Liu Shaobai is temporarily locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, let me let you down after hearing it!"
After speaking, he paused for a while, and said again: "Four princesses follow me into the palace!"
Palace, Longyang Palace.
And Mo Yuming leaned back on the soft couch and asked faintly: "Xueman girl, you seem to care too much about Liu Shaobai! In order to save his life, you didn't hesitate to spare Wutong?"
Ling Xueman was stunned, looking at Mo Yuming, studying the meaning of his words, and finally reacted, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Father, don't you want to be crooked? Liu Shaobai, he is me. My friend, that time, it was the first time I came back to Ling’s house and ran into it on the street. At the time I went to chase Xuan'er, but he knocked me over with a pig, so I called him Perverted men, that’s how they know each other, and Wutong, hey, I really treat their brothers and sisters as friends but Wutong...
Feeling sad again for a while, Ling Xueman twisted his sleeves and drooped down.
Mo Yuming looked at her, her sharp eyes were like arrows, as if she was about to see her through at a glance, but she lowered her head, feeling sad that she had made friends inadvertently, and never noticed the change in the emotions in his eyes.
So calm, there shouldn't be any problem! Mo Yuming's eyes flickered, he had recovered that indifference, but then he raised another question, "Xueman girl, I heard that Wutong pinched you because you said Han'er died and angered her? "
"Huh?" Ling Xueman raised his head and said with a mouth open: "Yes, she insisted on telling me that her husband was not dead, and she gave her a blowjob or something, oh, it's weird. The two of them knew the tune, and then I saw that she was a little nervous, so I wanted to make her sober, so she just grabbed my neck."
"Blowing Xiao?" Mo Yuming was startled, and whispered thoughtfully: "Yes, Han'er's Xiao Blow is very good. Because of his poor physical foundation, he only practiced martial arts with his fur. Passionate about blowing Xiao Xiao, I also sent him a good jade Xiao."
At this point, Mo Yuming suddenly raised his eyes, "Did Wutong say when she heard the sound?"
"Uh, I didn’t say that, but, Father, hey, let’s spare her for not dying. She has a problem here. When she sees a man, she says she is the husband, and he is not dead. Therefore, she pinches me and loses control of my emotions. , Made without reason." Ling Xueman pointed to the brain and sighed.
"Really? You said that Wutong said it was Han'er when he saw a man? Who did she say to?" Mo Yuming asked again with a frown.
"A guard of our Four Palaces," Ling Xueman said.
"Oh? Does the guard often walk around in the palace?"
"Not very often. He is the guard guarding the Xiangtanju. A few times, um, sometimes when I go out, the butler fears that I am in danger, and thinks that the general guards' martial arts are low-level, so they will adjust some of the Xiangtanju masters to protect me.
Mo Yuming squinted his eyes. At this time, all the eunuchs and maids in Longyang Palace were retreated by him. His sharp eyes swept through every part of the hall, and finally he returned to Ling Xueman's face and asked: "Which guard is Xiangtanju?"
"No introduction." Although Ling Xueman wondered why Mo Yuming wanted to break the casserole to the end, she dared not answer.
"Oh? What does this Wujie look like?" Mo Yuming asked again.
"A tall man, a medium figure, neither fat nor thin, with a cold look, hey, the guards at Xiangtanju are all cold like ice cubes. They have no appearance. Well, it's okay, the skin is Bronze, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, uh...Father, I won't describe it." Ling Xueman temporarily dropped the chain and looked at Mo Yuming depressed.
Mo Yuming was listening, and then stared, "You girl!"
"Father, I really don't know how to say it." Ling Xueman said aggrievedly.
"Then, do you see any similarities between the Wujie guard and Han'er?" Mo Yuming asked again, with a hint of tension in his tone.
When Ling Xueman heard it, he waved his hand directly, "It's not like it at all, my husband is much better than him!"
"Really?" Mo Yuming's brows moved, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Xueman girl, since you married into the Fourth Palace, has there been anything special in the Palace?"
"Special?" Ling Xue slapped his tongue, suddenly thinking of her concubine, and "cocked" in her heart. Did the emperor notice it? Did you send an eyeliner to watch her? Thinking about this, I hurriedly told myself that I must calm down, and I must not show my feet. The flustered heart gradually calmed down, pretending to be thinking about it for a long time, and then slowly said: "If you want to say something special, it seems that there is nothing, Yafei is not. Have you stayed with me for a while? She knows it. Every day, my task is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, play when I'm full, and eat again when I'm tired, and then go to sleep."
"Ahem!" Mo Yuming was choked, staring at Ling Xueman's silly memory, and scolded: "When you are a pig!"
"Uh, Father, I don’t want to, but what can I do by myself? Hey, at any rate you gave me a son. I still have a companion, otherwise I don’t know how to live. "Ling Xue sighed in a melancholy, and frequently hinted to Mo Yuming, so that Mo Yuming would not ask any more questions.
A trace of grief flashed across Mo Yuming's face, he was shocked for a long time, his expression seemed to be determined, and he suddenly said more seriously: "Girl Xueman, when Han'er passed away, I asked you to be a widow for him. , Therefore, it is impossible for me to allow you to leave the Four Kingdoms Mansion to marry someone else. You'd better accept this thought for me! In this case, I have to talk to my second child and a few of them! Han'er's death, I will bear you Unimaginable pain, the deceased is the greatest, I will not be sorry for my son's last wish!"
Ling Xueman's face instantly became deadly silent, staring at Mo Yuming in a daze for a long time. After moving his lips several times, he made a difficult voice, "Father, Xueman never thought about marrying another prince. Xueman is the fourth prince. The princess of Xuan'er, who is Xuan'er's mother, will stay in the Fourth Prince's Mansion in peace, please rest assured, my father!"
"Okay, what I want is your words!" Mo Yuming nodded in satisfaction, and then said again: "Girl, it's rare that you have a benevolent heart. Regarding the case of Liu Shaobai and Liu Wutong, I will deal with it as appropriate. It is impossible to be completely acquitted, leave the law of the country empty, you kneel down!"
"Yes, Xue Man thanked his father for his kindness! Xue Man retired!"
The tranquility was restored in the palace, Mo Yuming leaned on the soft cushion, thought for a long time, and said: "Li Dehou!"
"The minion is here!" Grandpa Li stepped out and bowed.
"Xuan Liu Shaobai see you here!"
"Yes, the emperor!"
After Liu Shaobai entered the palace to see him, Mo Yuming had a ruling the next day.
"With regard to Liu Wutong's murder of the Four Queens, Liu Shaobai deceived Junchang in the previous case. The two were deemed to be capital offenses. However, due to the kindness of the Four Queens, they will not be held accountable. According to the laws of the Ming country, the death penalty is forgiven and the living sin is hard to forgive! Liu Shaobai beat the eighty board, Liu Wutong was sentenced to two years in prison!"
No one knows what Mo Yuming and Liu Shaobai talked about, only that Liu Wutong suddenly appeared, and then he was imprisoned in a Zhuangzi outside the capital, where Mo Yuming sent heavy soldiers to guard him.
