"I heard you took Biyue into custody?"

Xiuwan stood in front of the window and looked at the scorching peach blossoms in front of the window. When the wind blew, the petals fell with her. She remained motionless until the petals fell, and the sound of footsteps approached. With a hurried sound, Long Lian stopped and stood two steps away from her. "Yes, I will definitely send her back to the state. Do you know why I summoned you?"

Long Lian reluctantly smiled at her, Xiuwan was a little surprised, this guy was expressionless most of the time, and the occasional smile made people feel extraordinarily precious, besides, a handsome man like him had good teeth, so when he smiled, he looked pretty. It is pleasing to the eye. "You want me to escort her to Suzhou?"

"Sure enough, there's nothing you can't hide from you." She passed him and walked straight to the gate, "The peach blossoms are blooming, you can walk with me."

When passing by him, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her, "Don't drive me away."

Xiuwan turned her head and was about to say something, but he interrupted hastily, "Do you really want to drive everyone away? Xiuwan, you were not like this before."

"I...wasn't like this?" She slammed his hand away. The strength was too great and she fell down. She stumbled onto the low table, and split a tea cup on the table with her palm. , blood oozes out, Long Lian hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Ask Biyue to bandage you..." After finishing speaking, he himself was stunned, Biyue had already been thrown into prison by her, so how could he have a chance to give it to her? Bandaging, Xiuwan stared at him with wide eyes, "There is no more Biyue, no one can help me anymore, you go, Long Lian, don't waste your time on me anymore, I don't deserve you .”

"Whether waste is wasted or not should be my decision. What about the medicine? Your master gave you the medicine?"

"It's gone a long time ago. It was gone when Zhao Yuan caught me. Long Lian, I've become like this. I don't even know myself anymore. Leave me alone and take Biyue back."

"So, I will accompany you, and I will accompany you to find the old you." He pulled the shawl between her arms and wrapped her palms, and he was about to pull her out of the door, "Go to Doctor Wang .”

"Why bother." She withdrew her hand, covered her face and knelt on the ground, "I wish I had the same chance as you guys to go back, but I can't, Nanshao is still in such a mess, I can't go back, I keep Zhao Song In fact, it is selfish. He has the blood of the Bai family on his body. I want to return this position to him, but they don't want to. They want me to kill him, and even sent assassins to sneak into the palace. I know everything , but I can't tell the truth. The king of a country has the right to disregard human life, but how can he do whatever he wants." This position is too high and too big, she feels very cold, and feels more and more how wrong she was to leave in the first place. People should blame her, so she sent A Dai to him, hoping that she could accompany him.

Long Lian fell down beside her, and stretched out her hand to embrace her. The cold liquid fell on his shoulders along his fingers, and also fell on the bottom of his heart. If I left too, how lonely would you be alone? "Wu Zichen's ambition is not dead, how can I leave you here alone, I know you need me to advise you, and I don't mind being used by you, Xiuwan, don't drive me away."

Xiuwan sobbed and couldn't speak. Outside the hall, the maid couldn't hold back Li Ding, and she was furious and wanted to settle accounts with her. When her eyes fell on the two people kneeling on the ground and embracing each other, she stopped again, and then silently exited. go.The maid hurriedly sent him away, and when she came back, Xiuwan had already sat at the table and ordered them to clean up, the little maid had to tell the story of Li Ding's intrusion, Xiuwan frowned, this Li Ding, presumably It's because of Biyue's affairs, Qu Yao didn't tell him what he said about herself after he came back, otherwise he probably wouldn't be so naive and want to scold her, right?But it feels good to be scolded by him.

The imperial doctor was sent to bandage her hands. Xiuwan took Longlian to walk around the Peach Garden with red eyes, and then went around to the statue temple. When she moved to New Moon City, the statue had already been destroyed. She didn't know that Rong Su What's the matter, she didn't dare to ask, she would rather believe that he found a way to save Bai Liushu, and the two of them lived a peaceful life together.

Biyue said it was a distribution, but the accompanying troops were stronger than the nobles traveling, and after Li Ding acquiesced, everyone just turned a blind eye and closed it.On the day Biyue left, Xiuwan stood on the city wall to send her away. Biyue pulled up the curtain of the carriage, showing Xiuwan's red makeup on the city wall. She was indeed more suitable for red, and white was too plain for her.

With Long Lian still alive, she can leave with peace of mind. New Moon City is a tomb, and Bai Xiuwan is buried there. From now on, there will only be Baidi of Nanshao in this world, and there will be no Hong Xiuwan.

Subsequently, the national examination was opened, and Long Lian took reference, becoming Nan Shao's first champion after returning to the country.Besides, when the official worshiped the prime minister, no one in the court objected, even the group of people looked at her and Long Lian with strange eyes for no reason, Xiuwan felt that she might be plotted.

In the spring of the fourth year of Changning, which was the year when Long Lian officially took office, Li Ding took on important responsibilities but didn't care about things. He wandered to the palace all day to talk about family affairs with Xiuwan. She regretted it after sitting down, Li Ding actually took the portrait to let her choose the emperor's husband!

Xiuwan smiled on the surface, "Didn't uncle want me to marry my cousin before?"

Li Ding was calmer than her, "My subject is a temptation. It is a good thing that your majesty is loyal to your heart, but your majesty is not too young now, so it is time to consider this issue."

"I'm only twenty..." Xiuwan felt very sad, she is still young, okay?

"Your Majesty will look at this first, the youngest son of General Zhang's family. He is tall and strong, and he is very good at fighting. Your Majesty can find someone to learn from in the future."

"I'm not interested in this kind of big guy..."

"Then this, this, Li Shangshu's younger brother, is a little older than you, but it doesn't matter. This is the most beautiful man in New Moon City. Back then, he said that to marry a wife, he must be as beautiful as His Majesty. Talent can do it, how about it?"

Xiuwan rubbed her temples, "You don't look as good-looking as I do, so you dare to say that I am worthy of him?"

"Well, Your Majesty must not be the one who judges people by their appearance, right? Well, this is a famous talent..." Before Li Ding finished complimenting him, she quickly interrupted, "Genius? That kind of sour scholar... Do you think it will be mine? No matter how talented you are, you can't compare to Prime Minister Lan."

Li Ding put the picture album on with a smile, Xiuwan felt a little creepy, "You laugh like that, it makes me feel...uneasy."

"It seems that His Majesty really likes Prime Minister Lan."

Xiuwan fell to the ground, and the maid behind her quickly helped her up and changed a stool, "It's impossible for me and Long Lian."

"Your Majesty, do you still like Zidi?"

Xiuwan lowered her head and rubbed her knees, "I promised him that I would never remarry in my life."

"But Your Majesty, if you don't marry for the rest of your life, who will Nan Shao be handed over to after a hundred years? What's more, everyone knows Wu Zichen's love for you. I will never agree to let him be the emperor's husband. Neither can we right now." Be tough with him, you marry a royal husband earlier, so that he won't worry about it."

"You said it lightly. Since he is thinking about me, I can't find the emperor to anger him? Forget it, let's talk about it, don't rush about the prince's question, even if Adai is by my side It is not likely that she will be appointed as the crown prince. My surname is Bai, yes, but after passing on from generation to generation, how much of the bones still belong to the blood of the ancestors of the Bai family? In my opinion, the successor is not the blood of inheritance, but According to the ancestral teachings of the Bai family, I will find someone who is worthy to succeed me as the heir apparent."

Li Ding was shocked, he didn't expect her thinking to be so avant-garde, Bai Liushu actually said this, when she wanted to abdicate, he didn't agree at that time, and now that Xiuwan said this again, could he have to stand by? Looking at this country is easy to give to others.

Xiuwan glanced at him, "How about adopting me? Isn't your surname also Bai?"

Angrily, Li Ding stopped looking at her.

Xiuwan shook her head, pedantic, too pedantic, she finds a suitable candidate and considers it her own child, isn't it also a descendant of the Bai family?It doesn't matter whose blood is left, the main thing is to see if you can become a wise king.

Later, Li Ding teamed up with several important ministers to force the marriage several times. In the end, Xiuwan became angry and went out of the palace disguised as a man. She didn't know that New Moon City had changed for a long time. Now that this is the case, the street is gradually bustling, but she still feels very kind to the little beggar.

She wandered all the way to the outside of the city, but she didn't expect that the outside of the city was far beyond her expectations. It was very different from the prosperity of the city, and there were dilapidated houses and barren land everywhere.The more Xiuwan walked, the heavier she was. Sure enough, living in the palace was a very bad behavior. She didn't know that there was such poverty outside the city. Even if it was like this in New Moon City, what about other places.

In the field of agricultural industry, someone had posted a paper. She glanced at it briefly and felt that the literal meaning was already very absurd, not to mention the in-depth implementation. The servant who finally wrote the paper was scolded by her. This matter was put on hold by her, and now it seems that she has to discuss it with Long Lian.

Finally, she came to a temple. The structure of this temple was very similar to the temple where they investigated the case of the young girl. Xiuwan couldn't help but take a second look, which made her unexpectedly discover that this temple There are more than a dozen children in the seemingly deserted temple, ranging in age from five to sixteen to fourteen or five years old.

She walked over and donated some sesame oil money, because she spent a lot of money, those children gathered around to ask her for a reward, she could still get this small amount of money, and the children dispersed after all the money was spent. All that was left was a little girl who was shaking her sleeves and bowed her head. Xiuwan handed over the silver tael, and the little girl looked up timidly. After wearing it for a long time, the child grows fast, and the sleeves are shortened to reveal the small arms like white lotus root. Seeing that she didn't understand, Xiuwan bent down and pulled her hand and stuffed the silver into her palm, little girl He took a step back as if getting an electric shock, "Brother, can I work for you?"

"Why do you have to work for me?"

"My father said that there is no free lunch in the world. I... I will work for you, and then you can get paid." She raised her head and looked at Xiuwan stubbornly. Xiuwan was stunned and looked carefully at her. She looks pretty average, it's fine if she's not ugly, but the long-term malnutrition makes her look a little pale and emaciated, and it's not a day or two to come here to hide in the temple.

She couldn't help touching her head, "Why don't you go home?"

The little girl sniffed, "The family is poor, and they have raised three younger brothers. They are afraid that the younger brothers will not have enough to eat, so they will come out to find work."

Xiuwan squinted at her, "Then they too?"

"Well, they are all children from the same village. They fought wars in the past two years, and the harvest in the past two years has not been good. Everyone can't eat enough, can't afford to support those who don't work, and some are orphans. Fortunately, the abbot is kind and willing to take them in. We, but there are not many incenses in the temple, so everyone has to find a way to eat their fill."

"It seems that the problem of the agricultural industry cannot be delayed."

"Brother, why don't I be your servant girl? Although I am young, I am very diligent."

"how old are you?"

"Eight years old."

Three years older than Adai, thinking of Adai, she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, and she didn't know if she had enough food, wore warm clothes, and whether the maids and concubines bullied her. No news came.

"I can give you wages, but I won't let you be my maid."

"Then what are you doing?" The little girl's eyes flashed a trace of defense, "I...I won't be a child bride." When she said this, she lowered her head and blushed a little.

"Be my daughter."

"what?"

"I won't ask what your name is. From now on, your name is Bai Suyue, and you are my daughter, Bai Xiuwan."

The little monk sweeping the floor was so frightened that he dropped the broom in his hand, the little girl seemed to understand, this brother is called Bai Xiuwan?It's a girl's name, isn't it scary?
