Xue Mingyue suddenly curled up her fingers when she heard this.

It started to snow again outside the window, and the snowflakes were flying in droves, adding a bit of chill to the silver-covered courtyard.

She was slightly shaken, and after meeting his burning gaze, she lowered her eyes first.

Did she say those words? Of course I said it.

The journey from Yongji City to Suzhou in northern Xinjiang was too arduous. At that time, she didn't know what she would face after arriving in Suzhou. She was afraid that she would be as unaccompanied as she was in the capital. No matter who she asked for help, she would be confused. Hitting a wall situation.

So she could only let herself imagine, think about the good things, and think about the things she wanted to do.

At that time, she only had Xie Lang by her side, accompanying her all the way under such circumstances. This kind of friendship was enough for them to become close friends even if they couldn't be lovers.

Furthermore, she was not the heart of wood and stone, so she would naturally tell him all her thoughts.

Xue Mingyue's eyes were a little sad, and she fell into deep thought.

She blinked her eyelashes in confusion and stared at the water-like wavy texture on the table. For her who had traveled three thousand miles at that time, she only hoped to have a place to stay, so that she could no longer sleep in the open air. .

At that time, Xie Lang was guilty and came to the border as an exiled minister. Obviously, his treatment would not be good.

And all the money she had on her was spent in exile.

Therefore, at that time, she eagerly hoped that Suzhou could be as prosperous as the capital city, even if it was only three or four out of ten. She had given birth to hands. As long as she entered the city, she would be able to find a job to settle down and no longer be homeless.

Unfortunately, many of the ideas were ultimately destroyed by the epidemic.

Still failed.

It actually stopped at the gate of Suzhou City.

Xue Mingyue's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and suddenly she remembered the dream she had had some time ago. She raised her head and looked at the young man sitting opposite. Sitting here, he was like a green pine standing proudly in the frost. One person can hold up the sky. Come.

...She also saw Suzhou City in her dream.

Different from the regent he saw earlier who had begun to look like a tyrant, the Xie Lang he saw in Suzhou was at a difficult stage when he was regaining control of the military power in Dingyuan. The young man who had injured his leg had a look of depression on his face. color.

To those in the Dingyuan Army, Xie Lang was a young master.

If he were still the Marquis of Dingyuan, it would be very easy for him to regain military power, but he lost his position and injured his leg and was unable to walk. .

"You know what I'm going to say, so why bother asking?"

Xue Mingyue moved her slightly stiff fingers and refilled herself a cup of hot milk tea.

The look in Xie Lang's black eyes gradually dimmed.

After a moment, he smiled: "I have to ask, what if one day you change your mind and want to rule Suzhou with me?"

"..."

Xue Mingyue's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

He quickly lowered his head and took a sip of hot drink to calm down his shock. Even though he was still alive today when he was still alive in Suzhou, he began to think about separatist affairs. If others heard this, he would probably be frightened. He would have to say something right away. Treason.

It was just her, and there was no trouble at all.

As expected of her, Xue Mingyue praised herself in her heart.

Then she raised her eyes to look at him and said frankly: "No matter what your plans are, I don't want to be involved in conspiracies and conspiracies like now. I would rather do more useful things."

If she survived, she added mentally.

After all, there is no way to change the throne without bloodshed.

Xie Lang lowered his eyelids slightly, and his already dark eyes looked even deeper now. There was no trace of embarrassment on his face, but instead he was as open and honest as she was.

"You have to do practical things, so you need someone to protect you."

He seems to know how to get along with others now, or he may have found a way to get along with her again during this period of time.

Xie Lang bent his eyes and smiled at her: "I know you have a lot of things you want to do in your heart. Wouldn't it be great to cooperate with each other and discuss things as we do now?"

"No matter where you are, you can always enjoy the shade against a big tree, right?"

Xue Mingyue choked at his words.

I didn't know how to answer for a while.

This is said like a bandit worshiping the mountain.

Seeing this, he continued to follow the temptation: "Instead of wasting time looking for a new big tree, and having to get used to it again after finding a big tree, and even not knowing you better than I do, why not just choose me."

"I believe that no one in this world understands you better than me."

The corners of Xie Lang's lips were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were full of confidence and contentment.

Xue Mingyue: "..."

Who gave him the confidence to say such a thing?

Just as she was thinking about how to dispel his arrogance, she heard someone coming from outside to say, "Someone wants to see you." Xie Lang calmed down, looked outside and said, "It should be the people who went to the Xue family's land. "

Xue Mingyue's expression suddenly became serious.

Xue Mingyue guessed that Xie Lang would send someone he trusted to handle the matter, but when he saw the person coming, his eyes widened in surprise.

"My subordinate, Lidong, pays homage to the Marquis and Madam."

Lidong, who was dressed in military uniform and light armor, knelt down and saluted the two of them.

Xie Lang said softly: "Get up and tell Madam everything you have been through these days, down to the smallest details."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

He immediately stood up at the beginning of winter.

Perhaps because she was wearing light armor, she looked a little more chilling, which was completely different from her previous appearance when she was Xue Mingyue's maid.

Xue Mingyue only shook her head for a moment and saw Lidong blinking at her quickly.

This was what she was familiar with again.

Lidong cleared her throat, starting from when she received the mission, and continued talking about the obstacles she encountered in Xuejia Village. She became more and more angry as she talked, and later she vented her bitterness in front of the two of them.

"The Xue family village is full of collusion. No one there knows you, only the Xue family!"

If Xue Mingyue really goes back by herself, or sends Liu Yun around her to go back, I'm afraid she won't even be able to come back.

After knowing that she was here to move Lady Lou's coffin and draw up the family tree, these people refused to comply. They said that she was the wife of the Xue family who was listed in the family tree. If they couldn't get the divorce letter, there was no reason to open the ancestral hall. It would be bad for anyone who came. make.

After she revealed that Xue Xujun had committed a crime and had been imprisoned, and that she was sent by Marquis Dingyuan, those people still did not change their ways.

On the surface, they placed people in the village to wait, but not only did they drug the food, they also sent people to set fire to the house at night. However, she was alert and did not fall into the trap. After rushing out of the house, she was still surrounded by villagers armed with sharp weapons.

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned.

She had been to Xuejiacun when she was a child. How could Xuejiacun look like this?

Xie Lang had already checked all the Xue family members before dragging them to the palace gate for questioning in his previous life. He already knew about the affairs of the village, so his expression did not change and he just said: "What next?"

Xue Mingyue gathered her thoughts and looked over.

Lidong chuckled.

"Of course I took out the token given by the Marquis and acted on behalf of the imperial guards."
