After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The seventh prince was originally imprisoned, but when his grandmother passed away, the emperor released him and allowed him to come to the palace.

So many people were in mourning, crying like tearful children.

Xiao Qiru knelt down in front of the coffin, but there was no trace of tears in his eyes.

He really couldn't cry.

I used to pretend so much, but now I can’t pretend even a little bit.

Come to think of it, if the Queen Mother hadn't plotted against him and Miss Ma, he wouldn't have ended up like this, right?

The emperor glanced at Xiao Qirui, and after he left, he asked Gu Guangliang to give Xiao Qirui a glass of wine.

Xiao Qirui drank the glass of wine in one gulp without any hesitation.

After drinking, Xiao Qiru handed the cup to Gu Guangliang and turned to leave.

When leaving, Xiao Qiru looked at Wanli in the crowd.

Wanli came to take care of the Crown Princess. She felt very awkward with this kind of scene. Sometimes when she saw others pretending to cry, she actually wanted to laugh.

It was impossible for her to laugh. If she really laughed, it would bring trouble to the Crown Princess.

Meeting Xiao Qiru's gaze, Wanli was stunned for a moment, then followed him out.

Xiao Qirui asked: "How have you been lately?"

Wanli said, "Very good."

"Do you still hate me?"

Wanli didn't know what to say. Everything seemed like a joke played by fate.

After calming down, she repeatedly thought about the past and became more and more sad.

Yes, Xiao Qiru was a bad guy, and all her misfortunes were because of him.

But when he was in front of me, he was a good person.

This made Wanli's hatred and love unreal, so she could only stay away.

Xiao Qirui chuckled: "Do you still like me?"

Wanli shook her head.

"That's good." Xiao Qirui said, "I'm sorry."

He knew clearly that the girl in front of him was still very young, and different from those dull ladies he had met before. She still had a long way to go in the future and would meet many, many people.

Maybe one day Wanli will think of herself and tell others that when she was young and ignorant, she liked a very bad and despicable man.

Or maybe she is as free as the wind every day and will never think of such a person.

Xiao Qirui was about to return home, and Zheng followed him hesitantly.

She thought the emperor would lock him up forever and execute him.

I never expected that Xiao Qiru would be released so easily and sent back to the mansion.

When they were in the carriage, Xiao Qirui opened his mouth and Zheng thought he was going to hit her, so she closed her eyes in fear.

In the end, he just spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief to wipe him.

Xiao Qirui died before the carriage reached the Seventh Prince's Palace.

Zheng looked confused, not knowing whether all this was true. She was afraid that the man would jump up and beat and scold her the next moment.

Zheng Jiaolian touched Xiao Qiru's nose.

I was really out of breath, and my body was slowly getting colder.

She slowly let out a breath.

Finally relieved.

She used to envy Xia, Yan Yu, and even Wei, but now she doesn’t have to envy anyone.

The mountain that was pressing on her head was finally gone, and it was pretty good to be a royal widow.

There were three consecutive funerals in the royal family.

First, the Queen Mother passed away, then the Seventh Prince died of a sudden illness, and then the Queen fell seriously ill and died.

Prince Rui, who was at the imperial mausoleum, was finally allowed to return to mourn.

These funerals did not bring any gloom to Xia Shi. She still happily carried the princess to Yan Yu's place to play.

It was already early spring, and everyone had changed into light clothes.

The princess was running around the room with her round body twisted, and a group of maids and nannies were taking care of her.

Yan Yu was doing needlework, waiting for Xiao Chengji to come back.

Xia has been keen on talking about Wei Ruxuan recently. After all, Wei Ruxuan caused the separation of her and Prince Jin, and she will hate him for the rest of her life.

"When Wei's father died and Master Wei was buried, the people in the clan could not tolerate her and her mother. They refused to associate with them and called them disaster stars."

"This time when Fifth Brother came back, Wei Shi shamelessly insisted on following him and being with him. She was chased out by the people around him, and he gave her a letter of divorce, but the Emperor didn't say anything."

"Alas, Fifth Brother has become a different person now. He is dull and wooden, and he is different from before. When the Queen Mother and the Empress died, he cried bitterly, and then did nothing else. He returned to the Imperial Mausoleum to guard the tombs for his ancestors."

"..."

Yan Yu didn't say much, just listened to her quietly.

Xia counted on her fingers and said, "Oh, my third brother will be back soon, right? The entire Wei Dynasty is looking forward to the return of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yan Yu looked out the window. The peach blossoms had fallen and the leaves had turned green. She had been waiting from winter to summer.

Xiao Chengji won the battle with a smaller force. It is said that one should not chase a desperate enemy, but he chased the Emperor of Cang to the west of Minshan Mountain, trapped the enemy in the mountains, captured the Emperor of Cang alive, and cut off his head with his own hands.

Back then, the Wen father and son shed their blood in the northern border. The two of them led their army but were plotted against by the Emperor of Cang, who was still a prince at the time. Their heads were chopped off and their bodies were dismembered.

Fourteen years have passed quietly, and the scene is exactly the same. The revenge of the Wen family was finally taken, and the national hatred and family feud were finally repaid.

However, this time, Xiao Chengji ended all disputes and wars, and ended the humiliating history of Wei State being oppressed and slaughtered for a hundred years.

The emperor of Cang was killed, and the soldiers of Cang were instantly scattered from top to bottom. The first thing the princes of Cang who were far away in the capital did when they received the news was to start an internal fight for the throne.

Xiao Chengji led his soldiers northward, with their horses' hooves and swords pointing directly towards the capital of Cang State.

This time, those who were massacred became the executioners who once wielded the butcher knife. From then on, the entire Cang clan was destroyed, and the territory of the Wei Dynasty expanded outward for thousands of miles.

It happened to be spring and flowers were blooming along the way, and even the cold northern border was brought with a warm breath by the spring breeze.

On the way back to the capital, Xiao Chengji happened to pass by the Kangding tribe. He suddenly remembered that this tribe had spread rumors about him when he was fighting, saying that he had surrendered to the Cang Kingdom.

This was intolerable. The morale of the soldiers was high, and Xiao Chengji wiped out the tribe and added another piece of grassland to the Wei State.

The landscape was picturesque. He passed through the Gobi Desert, the vast green grassland, and saw the green mountains stretching eastward and the green water.

When he returned to the capital, it was summer.

The roses in Yan Yu's yard were in full bloom, and the rich fragrance of flowers was everywhere.

It was raining and snowing when I left, and the garden was full of flowers when I came back.

Hundreds of days and nights, countless longing and attachment, when they finally meet in person, she begins to doubt whether this was just a dream he had in the cold wind and snow of the northern border.

Xiao Chengji stood there, looking at Yan Yu for a long time before finally speaking: "I'm back."

Yan Yu looked at him, and before she could say anything, tears had already fallen.
