Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Shui Qing walked slowly on the street, upset in her heart, thinking of her younger sister, she felt pain in her heart, since she was young, only her younger sister was closest to her, and the two depended on each other, living a humble life in that cold palace.After escaping, they met by chance as if it was a lifetime away, and each of them lived a lot better than before, so they felt at ease from then on.Unexpectedly, the sudden change, I was hunted down to the end of the world, but when we meet again, it will be forever, the Iraqi is no longer, and I am the only one left in the world.

Unknowingly walking in the outskirts of Beijing, Shui Qing suddenly felt the sound of wind coming from behind him, he hurriedly turned around, cursing himself for losing his vigilance, when he turned around, he saw two pretty women looking at him with smiles, one of them was very kind, and it took him a long time to recognize her. Said: "Is it you?"

The person seemed surprised that Shui Qing recognized her, and said with a smile, "It's even better that you know me." She lifted her hand, holding a shiny and emerald green jade pendant on her palm, and said with a smile, "Yue Yue Lou Zhuxuan, Yanshui has passed away, and the situation is uncertain. He gathers together every year, and the old man is quiet."

Listening to the words of the familiar woman, Shui Qing felt doubts in his heart, he could see that the two women in front of him were not ordinary Jiao'e, and now that he was at the top of the waves, he shouldn't be so reckless.But thinking of the cool and pleasant voice in the dream, I can't feel fascinated. For several years, I have dreamed back at midnight, and every time I think of the fateful side in the vast mist, I feel regretful.Thinking of this, his expression became firmer, a smile appeared in his deep eyes, and he said lightly: "Miss, please lead the way."

The acquaintance woman smiled and said: "Young Master Qi is so courageous. The maidservant Xue Yan, that is my elder sister Lu Qing. The girl said that she would definitely agree to meet with him because of his character, she is really his confidant. You can rest assured this time. I will not let you return empty-handed."

Shui Qing's pride rose sharply, and he laughed loudly: "Miss, don't provoke me, why should I be afraid of praying for peace?"

At this time, the sun was setting, and the streets gradually became quiet, with smoke rising everywhere, and naughty children who came home late were hurriedly brought back by their parents, with reproaches in their words, but unspeakable warmth.Shuiqing sighed, she was not destined for this kind of tranquility in this life, surrounded by the loneliness that filled the sky and the ground, and there was nowhere to escape.

The downstairs of Yiyue Tower was full of people, but the third floor was really quiet and quiet.There is a quiet private room in the innermost part, with three big characters "Yinzhuxuan" inscribed on the forehead.Shui Qing looked around, there were no guests on the entire third floor, and there were faint breathing sounds in the room.

Xueyan smiled and said, "Don't wait, my lord, let me inform you." She gently pushed the door open and lifted the Xiang curtain to go inside.The people in the room didn't deliberately lower their voices, so when Shui Qing heard the voice that haunted his heart for several years, he couldn't help being excited: It really was her!

After a while, Xueyan came out and said, "Miss, please go in."

Shui Qing followed the snow geese in, the room was set aside by a large landscape screen, through the screen of light clouds, one can see a slender figure sitting on a chair behind the screen, and three maids standing beside it.

Shui Qing clasped her fists and said, "It's been a good time not to see the girl for several years. I don't know why the girl called Qi Qing here?"

Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "At any rate, the young lady is also the benefactor of the young master, so the young master is not even willing to give her a real name?"

Qi Qing was stunned, feeling guarded in his heart, since the girl said that, she probably already knew her details, so she smiled and said: "The name is just a symbol, hasn't the girl never said it before?"

Daiyu smiled calmly, her voice was ethereal, and she said, "My little girl is pedantic. Today I took the liberty to invite you here because I was entrusted by a friend to give you something."

Shui Qing raised her sword eyebrows, with doubts in her eyes, pondered in her heart, hesitated and said: "The girl is definitely for me, it seems that there is no one I know well in this capital."

Daiyu sighed softly through the screen, and said, "My lord, even the flesh and blood of my dearest relatives have been forgotten."

Shui Qing seemed to be struck by lightning, and his expression changed suddenly. Seeing Daiyu slowly raised her hand on the other side of the screen, she said, "Sister Chunxian, please give the things to Mr. Qi."

Chunxian agreed and took the things, turned around the screen and said, "Young Master Qi, you can take it. Our girl got it through untold hardships."

Shui Qing's eyes touched the thing in Chunxian's hand, and her body swayed without a trace. On one side of the Supa paper lay a piece of crystal and lovely emerald, which shone faintly under the candlelight.He snatched two things with his hands, carefully identified them, and the characters "Lian" engraved on them showed the owner of the emerald jade.Can't wait to unfold the Supa, seeing several lines of blood on it, the blood has turned dark brown, but it is even more shocking.The scribbled but elegant handwriting is exactly that of his own sister, Lian'er.After reading the words on the handkerchief carefully, his heart was churning, and he remained silent.

Daiyu sipped tea unhurriedly, waiting for Shuiqing to ask questions.After a long time, Shui Qing came to his senses, put the things away and said, "Where is the girl, and where did you get these things?"

Daiyu sighed, thinking that he would ask about Keqing first, but she didn't want to ask about herself first. At this moment, she didn't need to hide her identity, and said gently: "The little girl's surname is Lin and her name is Daiyu, and her first mother is from the Jia family. Auntie, the daughter of Mrs. Jia, I can be regarded as Keqing's aunt in terms of seniority. Because she has a good relationship with Keqing, she left this thing for me, hoping that I can pass it on to you. Her identity is also what she told Damn, I didn't know until I met Cuiyu that the person I met back then was actually Ke'er's real brother."

Shui Qing was silent for a while, then suddenly lowered his face and said with a sneer, "I don't know where Miss Lin belongs to, but she even knows my whereabouts very well." Daiyu was not moved by his icy aura, with a smile on her lips, she said leisurely: " I don't belong to any side, but I have a little power in my hand, and I happened to find your whereabouts. She was afraid that you would be deceived by others. I didn't believe it. I didn't think it was because she was smart and knew how to plan ahead. You were really lured into the arms of the King of Loyalty Since Ke'er entrusted the matter to me, how can I not be dedicated, so I invite you to come and talk."

Shui Qing said coldly: "Could Miss Lin really think that what happened to Lian'er was because she committed suicide in fear of crime? But I don't know why she must die."

Daiyu sighed slowly, and said: "I know the reason Ke'er mentioned, I just hope you won't be too surprised." As she spoke, she told the whole story about Jia Zhenkeqing, and finally sighed: "I If you don’t believe me, you can go to Jia Zhen to verify it. He also has Ke’er’s death letter, which is written between them. Although they are not in the world, it is rare for someone to be as loyal as them. people admire."

After many years of rough life, Shui Qing is already a person who despises the world in his bones, so he didn't show much shock, he just sighed softly, thought for a while and said: "Even so, I still don't believe that Ke'er's death is so simple. "

Daiyu said appreciatively, "That's right, her death was not that simple. Even Jia Zhen had doubts, thinking that Ke'er's identity was exposed and used by someone in the Jia family to flatter and claim credit."

Shui Qing frowned and said: "Could it be that there is something else in the truth?"

Daiyu said: "Maybe you won't believe me when I tell you, but I still want to tell you that everything you have encountered over the past few years to Ke'er's death was designed by someone with a heart, and it's just for your father's power The Jia family is just a pawn in it, it is true that they are indeed the direct murderers who killed Ke'er, and the reason is exactly what Jia Zhen thought, but they are just a pawn in ignorance."

Shui Qing listened to Daiyu expressionlessly, and said, "I don't understand."

Daiyu sneered and said, "Young Master Qi doesn't want to understand. Qi Qing Qi Qing, you just prayed for Qing Jing to get this name, but it's a pity that someone with a heart doesn't want you to be Qing Jing. The murderer behind the scenes is Prince Zhongshun, not what you guessed Your Majesty. His Majesty wanted to let you go. Otherwise, you thought that you, a criminal, could escape the vast sky net. After letting you go, how could the Emperor send people to hunt you down? The King of Loyalty and Obedience was all about rebellion, but it’s a pity that he, a prince with a foreign surname, ended up killing you. Insufficient soldiers and horses, not enough strength, your father's influence was not eliminated back then, so he set his mind on you, sending people to chase and kill you is just to arouse your resistance to the emperor, but it's a pity that even if you are wandering in the world He turned his attention to your younger sister Shui Lian without hesitation. He tried to impress you with kinship and hatred, but you were indeed moved."

Shui Qing said coldly: "How do you know that the emperor doesn't want to kill us all? If that's the case, why would he wait for his sister to die and quickly seal Jia Yuanchun?"

Daiyu said calmly: "I don't want to hide it from you, my elder brother is indeed working for the emperor. The emperor has been looking for you all the time. This time, he learned of King Zhongshun's plot and gave it to the Jia family. The purpose is to Draw out your Shui Qing, resolve this grievance, after all, you are also related by blood, he does not want to fight with you. Then Yuan Chun is just a pawn, if you want to take revenge on her, the emperor will not stop you."

Shui Qing was silent for a long time, his face fluctuated from blue to red, and he said coldly for a long time: "You are the one who said everything, there is no evidence at all, how can you tell me to believe you. Uncle Zhong has taken me to hide all these years , He also fought with those killers countless times, he is very sure that those people are masters, who else can mobilize these people except the emperor, I endured it, but he pressed on every step of the way, now the girl speaks with empty teeth Wouldn't it be ridiculous to talk eloquently, but to call Qu Qu for him every sentence!"

Daiyu smiled lightly, a certain look flashed in her eyes, she was as calm as a pool of water, and said softly: "Of course I have evidence for what I said, but the time has not yet come, you might as well wait patiently for a while. It's the result. Xueyan, pour a cup of tea for Mr. Qi and let him sit down for a while, I think evidence will be sent soon."

Xueyan nodded and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Shuiqing, and said, "Pray for your master to use it slowly."

Shui Qing picked up the tea and looked at it carefully, there was nothing unusual, then took a sip, the taste was fragrant, it was good tea, but unfortunately he didn't have the heart to taste it, he was still digesting the information Daiyu said in his head, he was dubious in his heart After all, Lian'er's letterhead is here, and he still has some new ideas than before.After being silent for a while, Shui Qing said something insignificant: "You don't have to cry out for Mr. Qi Qing, anyway, you already know who I am."

Daiyu's brows were light, she nodded lightly and said: "In this case, I will call you Mr. Shui."

Shui Qing smiled lightly, a trace of icy coldness slipped across her expressionless face, and said: "That's what I said today, and the girl is speaking for the emperor when she is clearing things up. If you can't produce evidence later, you can't ask for it." I was ungrateful once and invited the girl to my place to talk about it carefully, seeing how you, a woman, know the ins and outs of everything."

Xue Yan and the others frowned when they heard this, and a murderous aura appeared unconsciously on her body.But Daiyu seemed to be unknown, sipping tea behind the screen and calmed down.

As time passed, the Jade Rabbit rose to the east, the shadows of the candles in the house flickered, and the dark shadows reflected on the wall gave off a faint depression.Shui Qing and others were anxious, but saw Daiyu's calm figure through the screen, without the slightest sign of anxiety or panic, thinking in his heart that he could never be better than a girl, so he also calmed down.

Silence has never felt so overwhelming.Suddenly the door opened with a creak, and Lu Qing, who disappeared after sending Shui Qing in, walked in briskly, and said with a smile: "Girl, Mr. Shui, the young master please move over, saying that there is a good show to watch." A faint voice It looks empty and abrupt in the silent room.

Daiyu was overjoyed, she stood up and said, "Did it really work?"

Lu Qing smiled and said: "The young lady and the young master guessed it right." Daiyu showed a slight smile, supported Chunxian's hand, turned the screen and raised her eyebrows: "Master Shui, do you have the guts to go with the little girl?"

Shui Qing's eyes lit up, standing in front of her was a woman wearing a light veil, she was as slim as a willow by the river, graceful and extremely tough.Although I can't see her face clearly, those dewy eyes that seem to be weeping but not weeping are like a clear pool, clear and transparent, without the slightest vulgarity, making people feel close to her unconsciously. Such a woman will make people unconsciously feel trust .He sighed a little, really hoped that she would not become his enemy, and when Daiyu asked, he said proudly: "Since I have come here, Shui is not afraid of any calculations."

All the way down the stairs, I came to the backyard. The courtyard is not big, but it implies the power of gossip and nine palaces.Lu Qing led the way, went round and round to an exquisite house, and gestured for silence.After several people entered the room, Shui Qing frowned. This room was obviously a large room separated by a wall panel. It was said that the wall panel was actually a huge screen with flowers blooming four seasons pictures embroidered on the screen, but this was not the case. What surprised him, what really surprised him, was that he could clearly see the condition of the room on the other side of the screen from his side.Lu Qing sent a voice transmission to Shui Qing: "Young Master Shui, don't be suspicious, you can clearly see the other side of the screen from one side, but you can't see this side from the other side. The show has already begun, so Mr. Shui should not be too surprised."

Shui Qing frowned, walked gently to the screen and looked at the opposite side, couldn't help being surprised, raised his sword eyebrows and stared at the opposite side with wide eyes, unconsciously touched the sword at his waist, but was caught by the words over there. The sound was blocked.He only knew two people behind the screen, one was Beijing King Shui Rong, and the other was the loyal uncle who took care of him since he was a child!As for the other scholar who looked like a scholar, he didn't recognize him. In fact, it was Lin Yifei, Daiyu's elder brother, and there were several black-clothed dark guards.

But I heard Shui Rong say: "Shen Zhong, you said just now that the emperor sent people to hunt down Shui Qing. It's not nonsense. If the emperor's inner guards know the whereabouts of Shui Qing and you, they can't even kill a child or an old man after so many years. Why don't you kill Shui Qing?" It only makes the child grow up and learn kung fu, so useless, he should commit suicide and die for the country, obviously you made it up. If there are so many loopholes, Shui Qingruo is also an idiot."

Shui Qing was taken aback, but Dai Yu and the others couldn't help looking at Shui Qing, pursing her lips and smiling silently.

Uncle Zhong smiled coldly, and said: "You can say what you want, anyway, those killers are the guards of the Ouchi."

Shui Rong sneered and said, "I think you won't cry when you don't see the coffin. Brother Lin, why not show him that thing."

Shui Qing was curious, and concentrated on seeing the scholar take out a dark yellow silk from his bosom, shook it in front of Shen Zhong and said with a smile: "Shen Zhong, do you know what's inside?"

Shen Zhong's expression changed, and he snorted coldly and said, "How do I know!"

Lin Yifei sneered and said, "Why don't you recognize my own stuff? Do you need me to read it to you? This is something we have worked so hard to collect over the years. You wrote it yourself for King Zhongshun. There are all things that are clear in it." Whereabouts. No wonder King Zhongshun's assassins are more powerful than the emperor's secret guards, and they found Shui Qing's trace easily. It's not easy for him to know if you are a traitor."

Shen Zhong's face turned pale, a few drops of sweat oozed from his forehead, which stood out against the candlelight, and his voice was a little more unstable: "Impossible, how did you get this thing!"

Lin Yifei laughed and said, "Could it be that King Zhongshun is the only one who can play this undercover trick? You underestimate the people of the world too."

Shen Zhong couldn't help trembling, and roared: "Impossible!" Lin Yifei and Shui Rong watched him go crazy with a smile, and didn't speak.It took a long time for Shen Zhong to calm down, his eyes were like icebergs and snow water, and he said coldly: "Even so, what's the use, at worst I'll die. You don't want to get anything from me."

Shui Rong clapped his hands, and said appreciatively: "I look at death as home, I admire it. It's just that I think it's strange that Shui Qing provoked you, and you took him all over the world to be hunted down."

Shen Zhong looked a little contemptuous, and said coldly: "That unfilial son, who doesn't even think about avenging his own father, is just a coward! The old man is deeply favored by the prince. He doesn't repay me, but he can't and he just does it." Look. It’s a pity that I’m single and weak. I want to gather the remnants of the year but I don’t have enough reputation. The king sent people to hunt him down in disguise to provoke his resistance. Who knew that Nizi was really a dou who couldn't help him, and he was so forced that he never rebelled. I really don't know if he is the son of the prince. , not bloody at all." Saying that, Shen Zhong couldn't help spitting.

Daiyu looked sideways at Shuiqing, saw that he was a little dazed, she couldn't help shaking her head, feeling sorry for him.

Shen Zhong continued: "Later, I was also discouraged, thinking that I could just give up, so I stopped contacting King Zhongshun. But at this time, I heard that Shui Lian was killed. I thought it was probably King Zhongshun's plan, so I followed Shui Qing returned to the capital and contacted King Zhongshun in private, knowing what she expected. That Shui Lian was also shameless, she actually had an affair with her father-in-law, she really disgraced the prince, death is not a pity! At least her death is of some use, otherwise I really don't deserve to be the prince's daughter."

Shui Rong said coldly: "It's such a ruthless scheme that you have the heart to take advantage of Shui Lian, a weak woman. Hehe, you're not afraid that we will tell Shui Qing after you tell us this?"

Shen Zhong laughed loudly and said: "Shui Rong, I didn't expect you to be naive. Don't you think Shui Qing will believe your words. I just want you to know, but seeing Shui Qing cooperate with King Zhongshun, there is nothing you can do. With Shui Qing If you join, the remnants of the prince will definitely be reunited, and then I will see how you deal with the two sides."

With a crackling sound, the screen suddenly parted, Shui Rong raised his head in shock, and saw a slender young man standing with a sword on the other side of the screen, his body trembling slightly, his face covered with a strong murderous look.His face was very pale, his dark eyes were wide open, and his chest heaved and heaved with heavy breathing, like a dying beast.

Shui Qing didn't know what expression he had now in the eyes of others, he only knew that his heart was bleeding, as if insects were devouring his body, the pain was so painful that his heart would burst and his blood would rush.It turned out that from the beginning to the end, I was just a pawn in the hands of others. Because of this ridiculous identity that I never wanted to have, I wandered all over the world, lost the only relative in the world, and left my life with nothing but barrenness!

Shen Zhong was shocked, he didn't know where the strength came from, he stood up abruptly, his face twisted unconsciously, and hissed, "You, why are you here?" Pointing, Shen Zhong swayed and sat down, his face was gloomy.

Shui Qing sneered and said: "What a loyal slave! No wonder you have been talking about the emperor and King Zhongshun in my ears every day for so many years. I only think that you are out of righteous indignation, but it doesn't look like you have taken refuge in others. Everyone has their own aspirations and I don't force it, but what's wrong with Lian'er that you are so cruel to kill her?"

Shen Zhong laughed, his face was pale, he raised his head and said coldly: "She is not wrong, you killed her, if you were not so cowardly, why should we kill her. You killed her, you killed her Yes, you killed her."

"Not good!" Lin Yifei came to his senses, and took one step in front of Shen Zhong, only to see that Shen Zhong's face was blue and gray, thin black lines of blood flowed from his seven orifices, his eyes were wide open, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at himself. , It seems to be laughing at something again.Yuehua stepped forward and put it on Shen Zhong's wrist, shook her head lightly for a moment, and said, "Dead."

Xueyan waited hurriedly to block Daiyu's probing eyes.Shui Rong sighed, and said: "Let's go out, think about what to do next, and don't let the news go."

Everyone in the room responded hurriedly.Shui Rong and Yifei looked at Shui Qing and said, "Brother Shui, what do you think?"

Shui Qing stared at Shen Zhong's corpse in a daze, his eyes ached, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Except for the hidden guards, everyone went back to the Yinzhu Pavilion, where the guests and hosts took their seats.Shui Rong then introduced Yifei to Shui Qing, who was not very warm, and stared at the flickering candle in front of him with a blank expression, showing no expression on his face.It took a long time before I laughed out of myself.

When Shui Rong wanted to say something, Daiyu hurriedly shook her head lightly.In the silent room, only low laughter was heard, which was indescribably bleak.
