> Everyone walked on the road together.
Dong Ning Peilan and the Seventh Princess were walking together with several men and princesses behind them. Suddenly, they saw Xiao Man in the front break away from Shangguan Jinghong and walk in front of Dong Ning.
The Seventh Princess went to pull Xiao Man, who held her hand affectionately, and looked at Dong Ning with a smile, but lowered her voice and said, "Little girl, I saw you making faces at me just now, but I thought your brother had other plans, so I didn't say anything. Think about it, apart from Zong Pu, today is a family dinner, and Zong Pu and your brother have been friends for many years, so that's another matter, but why did he summon Zuo Bing as well? Unless he had some plans, such as arranging for you to learn skills from Zuo Bing or something, and according to the seating arrangement, Zuo Bing sitting next to you is not in accordance with etiquette, it's almost the same for you to sit next to me, isn't it a coincidence?"
The three of them were stunned. Indeed... Why didn't they think of this? Peilan asked quickly, "Xiao Man, are you saying that the emperor intends to assign Xiao Man to Zuo Bing?"
"That's not necessarily true." Xiao Man shook her head and smiled, "This world is not something that can be obtained for nothing. He is a very scheming person. Who knows what he is thinking. I am leaving now. Xiao Dong'er, don't worry. If you have any problems, I will definitely help you, although I can't protect myself now."
Everyone watched as Xiao Man walked back to Shangguan Jinghong. Shangguan Jinghong tried to hug her, but she stepped on his boots...
The Seventh Princess said in a low voice, "A month ago, I still felt that the emperor was heartless, but my master said that the emperor was extremely wise and was such a person in his previous life. He and his sixth and tenth brothers were not close to the emperor before, but after the war, they were devoted to him. He said that he deserved these beauties to match him. I didn't know what to say at that time. After all, men help men, but now..."
Pei Lan understood, "Seventh sister wants to say that no matter whether it is Xiao Man or Qiao Chu, they are the most suitable for the emperor."
"Yes, she understands him."
Dong Ning was still skeptical about Shangguan Jinghong's arrangement, and nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
At this time, King Ning and others came forward and asked them what Xiaoman said.
After hearing this, everyone looked forward several times and then burst into laughter.
…
Xiao Man suddenly discovered that Jing Qing was holding a plate next to her with an expressionless face. Someone had put a lot of peeled fruits on it. He was really addicted to peeling them.
Xiaoman subconsciously glanced behind her and saw the fruit peels winding along the way.
Shangguan Jinghong took the white jade plate from Jingqing's hand and handed it to her. She immediately taught him, "It's wrong to litter everywhere."
In order to let everyone know that this kind of behavior is shameful, the emperor must be punished if he is wrong, Xiao Man said: "A fine of fifty taels."
Shangguan Jinghong disagreed and said to Jingping, "Give her 10,000 taels."
As he spoke, he continued to peel and throw.
Jingping and his friends were all stunned.
Xiaoman was very angry.

Zong Pu did not feel the joy in this ordinary life because he and Zuo Bing were the first to leave.
When I was walking across the winding bridge, I unexpectedly met a woman standing on the bridge, staring at the waves under the bridge in a trance.
"Mother. Mother is polite."
He greeted him and was about to leave, not feeling the slightest bit curious or confused as to why the other person was here.
"Stop!" The woman called him in a deep voice, "Am I so unpopular with you now?"
Zong Pu turned around and looked at the woman calmly. Finally, he laughed at himself and said softly, "Because of you, I lost the friendship of Jinghong, and even Qin Dongning... Qing'er, I was wrong, and you were wrong too. From now on, let's not talk anymore."
The woman was Shen Qingling. She was slightly shocked when she heard the words. After a long while, she also smiled mockingly and asked, "Do you regret it? Do you really like Dong Ning?"
Zong Pu did not answer directly, but only said: "I only know that I don't want to and cannot lose her. I will take her back, no matter what the cost... Take care."
He ignored what was happening to Shen Qingling behind him and walked deeper into the forest.
The sound of flowing water came from behind him, and he suddenly remembered what Qiaochu said before: The mountains are high and the rivers are long.
Since then, so has his regret.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long.
His eyes were moist and hot. When he reached the depths of the forest, he involuntarily knelt down on the ground.
What he couldn't get, he would never get, and he didn't want to get again. What he had lost, he could never let go, but could he still get it...
…
Qingling was leaning on the bridge railing at this time.
Perhaps, this is the place where Shangguan Jinghong sat with Qiaochu in his arms just now.
Ah Xiu found out that Shangguan Jinghong had held a banquet in the side hall. Shangguan Jinghong took Qiaochu back to the bedroom and stayed in the hall, ordering that no one was allowed to see him. She didn't have a chance to find him. She just followed him quietly, but saw him and Qiaochu...
There was a smile in his eyes. He had recovered his memory. Fei Tian shouldn't be like this... Even Zong Pu had abandoned her. She felt a sweetness in her throat and reached out to hit the railing hard.

Back in the bedroom, Shangguan Jinghong asked Fang Ming to move the memorial over.
Xiao Man was held in someone's arms, chewing fruit dejectedly - every time someone reviewed a few memorials, he would reach out and touch her belly.
It turns out he is addicted to listening to the fetal movements.
After touching her for a long time and seeing no movement, Shangguan Jinghong frowned and tapped her belly several times. Xiaoman got angry and said, "Knock your sister, your son is asleep."
Shangguan Jinghong was startled for a moment, then he burst into laughter, extremely happy.
Xiao Man didn't realize her slip of the tongue and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Seeing her silly look, Shangguan Jinghong's heart was slightly moved. He threw away the pen, carried her from the couch to the bed, lay down on her, and held her on top of him.
Xiao Man was not polite either. She sat on someone's stomach and pressed it hard several times.
Shangguan Jinghong raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to sleep with me right now, I can help you."
When Xiao Man saw that his eyes were dim, she immediately sat up straight and tried to roll off him.
Shangguan Jinghong refused, holding her waist tightly with his big hand, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "What did you say to Dong Ning just now?"
When Xiaoman heard this, she remembered a big problem.
441
"Did you let Zuo Bing come here on purpose today?"
She asked tentatively, wanting to find out his arrangements for Dong Ning's marriage.
Shangguan Jinghong stared at her meaningfully for a long time before nodding.
"Do you really want to assign Dong Ning to Zuo Bing?"
"No," Shangguan Jinghong narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of calculation flashing in her eyes, "Zuo Bing is too cunning and too dangerous."
Xiao Man was slightly surprised and asked, "Then why are you trying to pair Xiao Dong'er with him?"
"Secretly, I ordered Zuo Bing to destroy the previous oral order."
After hearing this, Xiao Man was shocked for a long while before she said, "Shangguan Jinghong, why do you say this in such a conspiracy-like way? What are you planning?"
"you guess."
Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, staring into his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, and said slowly: "Are you warning Zong Pu? No, it's... revenge."
After she said the last word, she saw a hint of cruelty in Shangguan Jinghong's eyes, and her heart suddenly became heavy. "Isn't he your best friend?"
"If he wasn't my best friend, if he hadn't handled cases for many years without showing favoritism, he would have died long ago. I won't kill him, but I won't let him rest in peace either."
Xiao Man shuddered. What had Zong Pu done to make him hate him so much
Isn't he a Buddha? The three thousand worlds embrace and forgive everything.
He gently held her in his arms, "He never treated Dong Ning well, that's one thing; he indirectly killed you, that's the worst."
"Qiaochu, I will not let go of anyone who has hurt you or wants to hurt you. Karma is a cycle, and retribution is inevitable. Buddha also punishes evil, not to mention that I am no longer a Buddha."

If losing Dong Ning is a punishment for Zong Pu, what about the others
Xiao Man leaned on the bed, her mind still flashing with the vicious and deep look in Shangguan Jinghong's eyes before he left. She always felt that something would happen soon.
Deep in my heart, I felt that familiar trembling feeling again.
She sent him to the Golden Palace to review memorials on the pretext that he couldn't sleep.
He did not try to force her to stay, but told the female official to keep watch and report to him if the empress had any problems, and then left.
Xiao Man also drove the female officials and palace maids out of the house.
She wasn't actually sleepy, not at all.
She knew that there was a woman in her body looking at her indifferently and was very sad.
In these two short days, had she actually forgotten about Jingcong
Or, her feelings have been split in two.
She smiled, slowly put on her shoes, got out of bed, and walked to the outer room.
The outer room is a study.
She rolled up her sleeves, and without calling the eunuchs or palace maids, she ground the ink herself and picked up a wolf-hair brush from the pen holder. There was white paper on the table, so she took a piece of paper and slowly put it away.
Wrote a few names on the paper.
Pinellia ternata.
Shocked.
If blue.
Outstanding.
Finally, write your name: Lin Xiaoman.
After a while, he slowly wrote Jinghong and Feitian next to his name.
As the water stains dripped down, the ink slowly melted away. She stared at the paper, and those names seemed to come alive, gently dancing before her eyes.
There is a half-length bronze mirror standing in front.
The bronze mirror was not very clear, but she could still see her own appearance clearly.
She was smiling, but her eyes were red.
Something kept falling from my eye sockets.
"Jingcong, I haven't forgotten you. Qiaochu, I haven't forgotten you either.
"Qiaochu, I'm Ruolan."
She thought about it, and felt that it was not right to say so, so she whispered, "Ruolan and I were not together. I am just Xiaoman. Ruolan has memories before her death, but I don't. I only have... memories of those years with Feitian and Banxia. Even if they are vague, I remember those feelings. That day, when I saw him desperate as if he was about to die, and I handed him the hairband, they came to me."
"Qiaochu, I'm sorry, I haven't remembered your memory yet. Or maybe I should say I don't want to remember it anymore."
"During the war, Jingcong and I were very happy together... Just like when I was in heaven, Banxia and I were very happy together. Although I would go to Feitian Palace to secretly visit him and warm his bedding for him, if I had not accidentally gone to Feitian Palace to be his maid, I would have spent my whole life repaying Banxia for his kindness to me, but I went... I said I didn't want to know, but in Kangcheng, I met him again..."
As she spoke, she rubbed her eyes vigorously, trying to make her blurry vision clearer.
"Jingcong, that day in the training ground, when you were very angry, I seemed to hear what you were saying in your heart... Two and a half days. I unknowingly followed your example, wanting to steal some short time. But you were sick, and I knew that everything was over. I stole one and a half days."
"Qiaochu, I know you will be back soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next second, with Ruolan's last memory and all your memories... But when I said those words to Dong Ning, I knew I could no longer control you, because that was your thought. You were watching all the time. Ruolan was never as smart as you, because you have to love someone and protect yourself, but Ruolan only loves one person."
"If you come back, you will resolutely leave him forever, right..."
She didn't move. In the mirror, the woman's beautiful eyes also stared at her motionlessly. Suddenly, she nodded slightly.
Feitian, we spent a day and a half on earth.
I finally had it.
Qiaochu, please give me a little more time, let me vent your anger, kick Shen Qingling and Qiaomei in the back, let me save Jingcong, so that you can have a complete memory of your last day with him.
After tearing the paper into pieces, Xiaoman smiled with tears in her eyes, picked up the inkstone, and smashed it hard at the bronze mirror.
"Mom, what happened?"
When the lady-in-waiting outside the door heard the noise and led the palace maids in in surprise, she quickly walked out.
According to what she had planned in the Imperial Garden early in the morning, she would find one of the two men and try to save Jingcong.
"Mother. Mother..."
The female official was shocked, and felt that there was something different about this woman.
——————————————

Shangguan Jinghong received the report from Jingqing and immediately went to Qiaomei's palace.
Xiao Man went to the Qiao Mei Palace.
Although everyone in the palace knew that he doted on Xiao Man, Qiao Mei would not dare to touch her, and there were secret guards buried outside the Qiao Mei Palace, he was still worried that Xiao Man would suffer.
As long as he was not with Xiaoman, someone would come to report to him about Xiaoman's situation every once in a while.
He did not let Luzon restore her memory. The moment he summoned Luzon to the palace to treat her, he changed his mind.
He deeply loves that sometimes silent and sometimes lively smart woman, the woman who has all their joys and pains. He misses her so much that he is going crazy. But after she regains her memory, will she really let go of Shangguan Jingcong? Even if she does, will she forgive him
He couldn't take the risk.
He could no longer afford the risk of losing her.
…Come…
"Good luck to the Emperor."
The panicked voices of the palace servants interrupted his thoughts. Shangguan took a quick glance and saw that it was the female official and palace maid who were taking care of Xiaoman. The eunuchs and palace maids in the Qiaomei Palace were also all in the courtyard - and no one was with Xiaoman.
He immediately flew into a rage, and pointed at Jing Qing and the female official, "I have already said that as long as she leaves the bedroom, no matter where she goes, you must stay by her side. If she makes any mistake, no one will survive!"
As he said this, he flicked his sleeves fiercely and was about to push the door open to go in.
The female officials and the palace servants in Qiaomei Palace were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground. Jing Qing reported with a stiff face: "Master, it's not that we are being rude. It's that Master Qiao said she wanted to have a few private words with her sister, and also said... If you come, only you can go in..."
Shangguan Jinghong frowned slightly, asked Laotie and others to stay outside the house, and went in himself.
