A single tree becomes a banyan

Ru Yuan was entrusted by the Ji family to enter the palace instead of Ji Yin from the Ji family. At that time, in order to protect herself in the palace, she got close to Su and Zhong when she entered the palace, but the two people who had good friends with the Ji family closed the door to her. Don't see it, keep it at arm's length.

"Master Ji, please go back, Master Zhong is not feeling well."

"The Sumerians are taking care of Master Zhong, so they don't have time to see you."

No matter how slow Ruyuan was, she was able to react to the repeated rejections of the palace people. The two ladies were ice-snow and smart, so they probably not only knew that she was a fake lady, but also guessed her other identity.

That's right, before Ru Yuan saw Ji Yin again, she was entrusted by Ji Hou to assassinate Di Xin.

Di Xin killed Ru Yuan's parents, and Ru Yuan agreed with Ji Hou for revenge, so she wanted to get close to Di Xin no matter what. For this reason, she prepared a total of two assassinations, and if she failed, she would be benevolent.

Di Xin was very disdainful when he saw Ru Yuan: "What ability do you have, dare to climb up the dragon's cave?"

"God, why don't you try."

Ru Yuan's trick is said to be a beauty trick, but with Ru Yuan's beauty, she is not considered a beauty.However, Ruyuan grew up in the countryside, and her way was not ordinary. Dixin had never seen it before, and she was very obsessed with it, and Ruyuan became more and more pampered.

The day of the scheduled assassination was breezy, but Ruyuan's back was drenched in cold sweat. The more nervous she was, the faster she moved. Di Xin couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and was so angry that he threw the wine bottle on the table forcefully.

"Whatever the musician plays, the widow will fall asleep!"

Ruyuan's eyes are very good, but when she glanced at her, she screamed that it was terrible.Then Zhong Li knelt down on the steps, with a song in his hand, when suddenly he was splashed with wine, and in the midst of his busy schedule to protect his qin, the wine bottle hit her, and he let out a muffled groan.

"My lord, Zhong Li is not a musician. Zhong Li heard you short of breath, so he played a hypnotic tune specially, hoping you can take a nap in the afternoon."

Ruyuan couldn't help but chuckle, and was glanced at by Di Xin resentfully, Ruyuan knew that she would always annoy Di Xin by not making a sound, so she quickly suppressed her smile, leaned over and whispered: "This is Xuanyuan's talented girl, Miss Zhong who lives with Su Rong."

Di Xin couldn't wait to turn over and get out of bed, full of joy: "It must be one..."

……

"Zhong Hong sent such an ugly woman to deceive the widow?!"

Zhong Li was wiping the wine from his hair, looking up in embarrassment, the man who was about to go down the steps just now was nowhere to be seen, only the bed curtain moved.Zhong Li didn't understand what was wrong, and walked up the steps with the piano in one hand and the skirt in the other, a maid stepped forward to stop her from the corner of her eye, but was stopped by other maids.Zhong Li turned a blind eye, looking eagerly through the layers of brocade bead curtains, only expecting the person inside who yearns for him to meet her face to face.

Suddenly a woman's hand stretched out from inside, Zhong Li stared at this hand closely, seeing it slowly lift the curtain, revealing a corner of the beautiful scenery inside.

"How did she come up?"

Di Xin's voice was clearer: "Come here! Pull her down to the widow! Ten punishments!"

Zhong Li's throat tightened, and he couldn't speak, his eyes were dizzy, and he heard a "pop" in his heart, as if something was broken.

Di Xin thinks she is ugly, but he clearly said in the Zhong Mansion: "The widow and Zhong Li are a blessing from heaven, and they should be sent to the palace to sing and sing." It doesn't matter if the king is untrustworthy, why the face on the bed is Su Rong!

Zhong Li stepped on the air, the qin flew out of his hand, and the glazed roof of the palace flashed before his eyes.

Really high, unattainable.

It turned out that what was broken was a young dream.

There was a tearing pain at the fingertips, and the mournful sound of the Guqin hit his ears, and Zhong Li suddenly woke up.The woman who had been guarding Zhong Li approached, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and quickly wrapped Zhong Li's fingers.

The woman in front of him was slim and graceful, Zhong Li glanced lightly, and recognized her maid, Shiyao.I must have been away from home for three years and missed a lot.

"Miss, are you okay?" The woman secretly looked at the expression of the lady, seeing Zhong Li's expression was indifferent, knowing that the lady was no longer close to her, although she couldn't help but feel disappointed, she still said softly: "Shi Yao will serve you and go to rest."

Zhong Li didn't move, her eyes were empty, Shi Yao squatted down and held the unconsciously trembling hand, and said softly: "Miss, you are not in the palace, nor in Xishan, this is Zhongfu, you are home! "

Just as Shi Yao finished speaking, a bell sounded from far outside the house.On the west side of the Bell Mansion hangs a big bronze bell with an inscription on it, containing a thousand taels of platinum, and it has been heard for forty miles. At this moment, the sound of the bell seems to be judging the people of the Bell Mansion, and it keeps reverberating and spreading.Zhong Li and Shi Yao listened quietly, the bell rang three times, three times at a time.

Zhong Li covered his fingers, with tears in his eyes, and murmured, "Does it sound good?"

"Miss' piano sound is very pleasant."

"Liar."

"Shi Yao didn't lie to Miss."

"Liar!" Zhong Li tore off Shiyao's handkerchief, punched the piano, and burst into tears, "I can't play it... I can't play it..."

"Miss, please believe in yourself! Even if you don't believe me, please believe in Miss Su... The piano can be repaired even if it breaks like that..."

"Who told her to touch something I don't want! I don't want what she touched! I don't want what she doesn't want!"

Su Rong has never been to Zhong's Mansion, Shi Yao thinks what the lady said is just because the piano in front of her is angering others, it's better to lock this piano.The young lady didn't know that when she first learned that she was not qualified to enter the palace to serve, Shi Yao once ran to the Su residence alone, and met Su Rong once.A dignified young lady of the Su Mansion is well educated and reasonable, she treats her servant gracefully and politely, not as rude and self-willed as the rumors say.Su Rong thinks Miss hates Su Rong, there must be a misunderstanding.

"Stop." Shi Yao walked out holding the piano head without looking back, when Zhong Li stopped her, she turned around and couldn't help showing a smile, thinking that the lady wanted to repent, but through the tulle, Zhong Li's beautiful figure was blurred, "Hasn't Lu Nuo replied yet? It's too rude."

Shi Yao hugged the qin sadly, Lu Nuo went to Xishan for a few days, during which time a secret letter was not returned.Although Lu Nuo is playful, he won't even disobey this rule. I'm afraid things will change.

"Miss Ben, I'm afraid Lu Nuo is in trouble. According to the reports from the spies, Su Rong is surrounded by experts, and recently there is a number one assassin in the world."

"Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true, that woman's name is Ruyuan."

"The number one assassin... Ruyuan?"

Hearing Miss's doubts, Shi Yao thought that Miss left before the palace change, and the emperor didn't know about it, so she took a step forward and said in a low voice, "It was the heroic woman who entered the palace instead of Ji Yin and assassinated Di Xin..."

"is her!"

No wonder he felt familiar when he heard the name, especially as soon as the name came to his ears, the unsightly scene before the collapse of the dragon flashed in his mind. When Jing Shiyao reminded him, Zhong Li completely remembered: it was this fake.No wonder Su Rong never let her get in touch with "Ji Yin", saying that she was afraid of causing trouble to her upper body, and it turned out that she was in collusion with her!Su Rong and Ru Yuan conspired without telling her, for Murong Xing's sake, Zhong Li let the past go.But Su Rong took advantage of her ignorance and is now at large, and she found out a few days ago that she had an affair with Dan Xiao to kill Di Xin.

"Where is the dead member of the Zhong family?"

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Pass me an order: Xishan insider, shoot and kill!"

Shi Yao heard that her hands slipped, and one end of the piano hit the ground with a muffled sound, she raised her eyes in panic, and saw Zhong Li come out with the curtain lifted, and the new gauze dress with a pair of sakura-red breasts floating like water, she was stunned again.

Zhong Li walked up to Shiyao with a calm expression, and suddenly lifted up the moon-white water-pattern Lingbo skirt, revealing a red silk shoe with clouds and smoke, hanging above the qin.Shi Yao subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, and suddenly woke up: not only Su Rong was killed, but also Lu Nuo was to be buried with her!

"Take your hand away."

The back of Shi Yao's hands hurt, her eyes wet instantly, and she plopped down on her knees holding the piano.Miss used to take good care of this piano and never put it in the hands of others, but now she is so unfeeling that it frightens Shi Yao.

Shiyao pleaded: "Shiyao knows Miss is suffering, so if you want to punish her, you should punish Shiyao. What's wrong with this piano? I think this piano was still..."

"shut up!"

Zhong Li raised his hand, met Shi Yao's terrified eyes, put down his hand in disappointment, and said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong with me? One, two, three came to lie to me."

"Su Rong deserves what she deserves, Miss is not wrong, even if Miss is wrong, Shi Yao is on her side!" Shi Yao hastily expressed her loyalty.

"I'm not wrong, listen, they are the ones who are wrong." Zhong Li's eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth, "I'm back, and those who made mistakes will die."

"Miss, think twice!"

Shi Yao held onto Zhong Li, lowered her head and wept uncontrollably, Miss lost her unparalleled piano skills, she couldn't lose herself anymore, Lu Nuo brought her into Zhong's house by herself, she should be punished for her inefficiency, but the pain on her body was not as painful as her heart.

"Shi Yao is willing to be punished for Lu Nuo!"

Zhong Li sneered and kicked Shi Yao away, and pushed open the door.

There is a pale sun above the head, two square-pole flag buckets facing you, towering ancient cypresses on both sides of the road, Zhong Li does not look sideways, and walks through the Guangting corridor to Yimen.People rushing to and fro in front of Yimen were stunned when they saw Zhong Li appearing in red.

Shenming Pavilion in the east of the gate, Jingshan Pavilion in the west of the gate, ghosts and wolves howling from the houses on both sides, Zhong Li raised his feet and walked south.The tall wooden archway facing the street is engraved with four big characters "Xuanyuan Guofeng". Zhong Li stands under the characters and looks up.

After standing for a while, a servant stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss, go back and change your clothes, let the young master see that he will be scolded."

"Why did he scold me? Because I'm not good-looking?" Zhong Li remained motionless.

"Miss cleans herself up, everyone knows that, but..."

"But what?"

"But father's mourning period is only three days, you don't wear mourning clothes and you wear colorful clothes! Do you have a conscience!"

The person who spoke changed, Zhong Li saw from the corner of his eyes that the servant stepped aside and was respectfully saluting a young man in white.The young man came towards him with a stern expression, Zhong Li turned around to salute, and called softly, "Brother."

On both sides of the screen wall in front of the Zhongfu Yamen, Bai Lian hangs high above the gate, and the pair of stone lions looking up in front of the gate are blocked by Bai Lian.Occasionally, passers-by passed by the gate of the Zhongfu and walked away quickly when they saw the word "sacrifice" in the white lantern in front of the gate.

Zhong Li saluted again: "Brother, today is the first three days of the funeral, and I want to personally commemorate my father's grave."

"What happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, brother."

"If I had known today, why should I be so stubborn back then?"

Zhong Li bowed his head and said nothing, a gust of wind blew up and the red clothes fluttered, Zhong Zhengyu stared at her for a moment, then waved his hands and turned to leave.

"Forget it, the Empress Maoshi has an order tomorrow, remember to come back on time."

Before Zhong Hong, the master of the Zhongfu, died of illness, he ordered people to write on the walls on both sides of the gate of the Zhongfu: "To deceive others is like bullying the sky, don't deceive yourself", and to write on the right: "If you bully others, how can you bear to bully the country?"Murong Xing thanked the Zhong family for their contribution to the founding of the country, Zhong Hong was upright and upright, and made Zhong Zhengyu, the eldest son of the Zhong family, the great historian, and Zhong Li, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, the maid of honor.
