When passing by the corridor, a figure appeared in front of him. It was Zhao Shaoxiao who should have been the first to return to the banquet.

He stopped Zhou Jiaqing and said with a smile: "Qing'er, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Protect me and protect the Zhou family!"

"Your personal maid, you don't say how you found her, and you don't say who her master is. Just because you found a Xiyun man, and you are so certain about the restoration of the country, there must be other reasons. Dad didn't ask, It doesn't mean I won't ask." Zhao Shaoxiao's expression gradually became serious, "Qing'er, even if you are my niece, I still want to ask, what do you want to achieve? What do you want to achieve? , I must ask!”

Zhou Jiaqing looked at him quietly. The second eldest brother of the Zhao family was a military commander. Neither his uncle nor his son took this path. He was gentle but also smart. Now, he was wary of her.

"Why is the second uncle so nervous? After all, the Zhao family is my relative. I will not harm the Zhao family. Otherwise, I will not delay the entry of the second cousin and my cousin into Da'an City, nor will I inform Da'an about Xiyun in advance. Regarding human matters, my second uncle is so suspicious of me. Is anything I have done so far detrimental to the Zhao family? "

Seeing Zhao Shaoxiao's expression slightly moving, Zhou Jiaqing smiled lightly and said: "Xiyun came to me to pick mulberries because he wanted to harm me and the entire Hou family. They had a grudge about my grandfather back then. If the plan fails, there will be a back-up plan. I want to Self-preservation. Besides, the restoration of the Zhao family's former glory will do no harm to the Zhao family. Once Xiyun's remnant comes to light, it is not a scene that the Zhao family or even the emperor would like to see. Also, the better the Zhao family is, the less support I will have. It will become more solid and more beneficial to me. This is what I want!”

Zhao Shaoxiao suppressed the surprise in his heart and frowned. Zhou Jiaqing spoke openly about his selfishness. Moreover, he said every word about his doubts. For a while, he had nothing to say.

Zhou Jiaqing said: "Second uncle, don't worry, I won't harm the Zhao family. I forgive Qing'er for hiding it. I can only say that Xiyun and I have an sworn hatred. That's why I need the Zhao family, and the Hou family needs the Zhao family." , will also try our best to help the Zhao family!"

After that, Zhou Jiaqing bowed gently to Zhao Shaoxiao and left.

Zhao Shaoxiao thought for a moment behind her, sighed softly, returned to his usual gentleness, and walked towards the hall.

Time passed quickly. In early March, Zhou Jiaqing was sitting at the table packing jewelry, and several maids were also packing boxes. It was time to say goodbye.

Zhao Yunzhen ran in in a hurry and almost bumped into Qiu Ju who had just opened the curtain. Qiu Ju was startled and quickly pulled Zhao Yunzhen to check if she had been touched. Zhou Jiaqing looked at her and before she could speak, Seeing Zhao Yunzhen gently pushing Qiu Ju aside, panting and stroking his chest, he said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "Cousin, have you received the letter?"

"What letter?" Zhou Jiaqing asked.

"It concerns the prince," Zhao Yunzhen said succinctly, "Not long after we set off, the prince went to Beiming. I just received a letter from Mr. Ji, saying that the entire Beiming royal family was wiped out."

Zhou Jiaqing's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Zhao Yunzhen's sudden stop, an ominous premonition came to his heart and he asked softly: "Your Majesty..."

Even though she deliberately controlled it and tried to act as natural as possible, her slightly trembling tail voice still betrayed herself.

"Dead." Zhao Yunzhen couldn't hold it back, tears fell all of a sudden, "Your Majesty, he is dead!"

Zhou Jiaqing has long been like a biological sister in Zhao Yunzhen's heart. The affection between the two can be seen in Yu Jianlin's incident. Seeing Zhou Jiaqing in a daze in front of her, her tears couldn't stop flowing. "Just the day before yesterday, The prince was betrayed by his henchmen, and the four princesses of Beiming used themselves as a guide to use the mind-piercing technique on the prince, and they both died together! "

Xu Jingxiao, he is dead!

The white jade hairpin in Zhou Jiaqing's hand fell to the ground with a clang and broke into several pieces. Qiu Ju and Xia He didn't think to clean it up immediately, and both looked at Zhou Jiaqing in panic.

Zhou Jiaqing was still sitting at the table. The sound of the hairpin breaking did not make her panic. Her whole body seemed to be frozen. She opened her eyes slightly, but her face turned pale. She took deep breaths countless times and finally opened her trembling lips and shouted. Said: "Impossible...impossible, impossible!"

Betrayal, telepathy, dead.

A completely different ending from the previous life, not like this!

In his last life, he disappeared, but not in Beiming? It was not at this time. Could it be that Xu Jingxiao also went to Beiming and Xie Yuanfu didn't investigate?

After Xie Yuanfu came to the throne, he secretly searched for the missing Xu Jingxiao, but to no avail. He was still wondering whether Xu Jingxiao had passed away and had not announced it to the public for some reason?

Zhou Jiaqing lowered his eyes in horror, trembling slightly, and the trembling became more severe. His eyes were completely closed. Xia He, as if he had just woken up from a dream, hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Jiaqing, who was almost slipping off the chair. As for falling to the ground.

I saw tears rolling down Zhou Jiaqing's eyelids as thin as cicada wings!

Unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality, what floated in Zhou Jiaqing's mind was the scene of meeting Xu Jingxiao for the first time, when she accidentally broke into an occupied room at Pinghu Academy.

The words "I'm waiting for you" led her into the house.

She saw a man in the room, facing her, sitting and drinking tea. He was dressed in a black brocade robe. He was naturally dignified and cold. His face was so cold that he seemed a little pale. His eyes were as dark as ink, and his deep eyes attracted her attention. Looking deeper, I was surprised to find that his eyes were cold, showing a faint sense of alienation.

Is such a person really dead?

betray? What's more, she handed something to Xu Jingxiao before leaving, so why would she betray him?

For a moment, Zhou Jiaqing suddenly stopped crying, his face was as frozen as ice, he slowly straightened up and sat upright and looked at Zhao Yunzhen, his dark eyes, with tears swirling in his eyes, showing sharpness and coldness, "Quickly. Go and reply..."

The front hall of the Zhao family was in chaos at the moment, and a letter from Ji Chengfeng disturbed everyone's hearts.

It was half a month faster than when we set off, and by mid-April, we were almost arriving at the gate of Da'an City.

It is April in spring, the morning light is gentle but not dazzling, the spring breeze blows on your face without feeling cold, the flowers are in bloom, the grass is luxuriant, the white clouds are floating, sometimes in groups, sometimes scattered and flying, dancing lightly in the blue sky, everything is beautiful. Seems full of life.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was extremely heavy.

It had only been half a quarter of an hour since Zhou Jiaqing came to the mansion. After receiving the news, Ji Chengfeng rushed over from the Prime Minister's Mansion. She didn't tell anyone about her return. She entered the city alone and was sneaked into the palace by bypassing the city gate. No mourning flags were hung in the palace, and no mourning hall was set up.
