In the deep palace, Qiao Yimei frowned and lowered her head silently.

Xue Jing walked in from the outside, she heard the voice, raised her head, two strands of hair were scattered in front of her.

"emperor......"

Qiao Yimei looked at Xue Jing, who was squinting her eyes, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged, trust me! Trust me!"

Xue Jingning looked at her and said, "I know."

Qiao Yimei's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, you know that my concubine is innocent. I don't know who put the blame on me. Your Majesty, you must catch that person and return my concubine's innocence!"

"Who put the blame on you?" Xue Jing asked her.

Qiao Yimei nodded, and she heard Xue Jing, who was dressed in a dragon robe, said coldly, "Of course it's me."

Qiao Yimei didn't understand what Xue Jing meant.

Xue Jing took a sip of tea and sat on the table without speaking.

After a while, Qiao Yimei's eyes widened, and she tried to sit upright with her hands propped up, but before she could sit still, her strength disappeared and she fell down again.

A slap-sized rag doll was thrown in front of her.

Qiao Yimei immediately recognized that it was made by herself, representing Xiao Conger's doll.

She picked up the doll and looked at Xue Jing.

Xue Jing's complexion was rosy, and his appearance was healthy and healthy. He didn't look weak like before.

She's not smart, but she's not stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have been selected from among so many women from the official family to be the side concubine of Xue Jing, who was still the prince. Qin Taiwei, she understood, and couldn't help laughing.

Qin Taiwei holds a heavy army and has the power to dispatch troops and generals in the thirteen prefectures of Zhaoguo. The family branches are intertwined, and the forces occupy the capital of Zhaoguo and even the prefectures and counties. There is no difference in power, and they can check each other, but since Xue Jing weakened the right minister's power by cheating on the imperial examination, Qin Taiwei's power has suddenly increased, making it difficult for Xue Jing to restrain him.

Xue Jing has always suspected that in this Battle of Cangzhou, it is very likely that Qin Taiwei was colluding with the Central Committee and Houxia, but he couldn't find any evidence, and he couldn't let Qin Taiwei continue to grow. If you plan to deal with Qiao Yimei, it is better to kill two birds with one stone, use this incident to trap Qin Taiwei, and prevent him from moving freely in Beijing.

Xue Jing knew that if it was only from the second time that he hated winning, the Qin clan would definitely try their best to protect Qiao Yimei, at most demote her status and punish her with trivial punishments, but if Qiao Yimei murdered It's the Son of Heaven, so that's another matter, that's why Xue Jing made a trick, using the technique of disgusting victory on himself. He is a person who has died once and lived again, so he is still afraid of these gods and ghosts. what!

"Although I hate you, I also have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seized Qin Chigong's power so easily."

Qiao Yimei burst into tears when she heard the word "hate".

"Why? Your Majesty, why is this?"

Xue Jingdao: "Your heart is vicious, I will not tolerate you."

Qiao Yimei laughed in a dazed way, "You have a vicious heart...Why did this concubine become vicious, your majesty, don't you know? This concubine entered the Prince's Mansion at the age of 15, and you have always treated her with respect as a guest. I thought you had such a temperament, but after Guan Ru entered the palace, you forgot about your concubine. For a whole year, your concubine spent the long night alone in Fanghua Palace every day. It’s all right in the palace, but you gave me hope, the emperor, but you destroyed it with your own hands! You come to the palace to visit the courtiers every day, and you send so many things to the courtiers. You risked danger to save the courtiers Out of the fire... The concubine really thought that the emperor had even the slightest love for the concubine, but it turned out to be a lie!" She had completely forgotten that she was still kneeling on the ground, kneeling and moving forward Take a few steps.

"I was on fire that day, did the emperor want to save me?"

Qiao Yimei was waiting for Xue Jing to answer her. Although she had always been skeptical, she still had a glimmer of anticipation for the answer in her heart.

"No, I thought the person in the main hall was Xiao Lianzi." But after seeing that it was Qiao Yimei, Xue Jing didn't abandon her and rescued her.

The last glimmer of hope was dashed.

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "Originally, you just have to be your concubine with peace of mind, and I can protect your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, but you shouldn't think of harming my people!"

Qiao Yimei said: "Does the emperor think that what the concubine wants is glory and wealth? The concubine is also a woman! I am also a woman! What I want is my husband's love for me, and your emperor's care for me. I don't care about glory. Wealthy!" When it came to the excitement, Qiao Yimei was a little out of words, forgetting her status.

"But I can't give you what you want, you know that." Xue Jing felt that Qiao Yimei was pitiful, but poor people must have hateful things, evil thoughts are all produced by themselves, and they should not be pitiful.

"Then who did you give your love to?" Qiao Yimei glanced at the doll in her hand, "Is it that eunuch?"

"Yes," Xue Jing shook his head when he saw her agitated, "If you harmed me, I might still spare your life because of my former affection, but you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't have harmed me. Xiao Lianzi."

Qiao Yimei didn't expect Xue Jing to say that, meaning, in Xue Jing's eyes, is that eunuch's life more important than her own?

Qiao Yimei smiled foolishly.

That night, the concubine Fanghua Gong De was a rebellious concubine who violated the palace's prohibition and used the technique of disgusting victory, but was exposed. She was ashamed and remorseful, and she hanged herself from the beam in Fanghua Palace.

Zhennan.

Master Zhang had spent too much money a few days ago, and taking advantage of the darkness, he took the ginseng wine sent to him by Qian Yuanwai from the city to honor Xun Ketian and say good things by the way.

Walking outside the door, there seemed to be a quarrel in the room. Seeing this, he thought that it seemed inappropriate to give this ginseng wine tonight, and was about to leave when he heard voices coming from the room.

Mrs. Xun: "This letter! It's from him... But God, it's been so many years, let's give up! Since the child is in the palace, what if we hurt him? He is our grandson ah!"

Xun Ketian: "There is no other way... I can't disobey orders!"

Mrs. Xun: "What do you mean! If you hadn't driven your daughter away back then, would you have sold yourself into the palace as a eunuch for two taels of silver from the Erhui? It was all because of you!"

Xun Ketian's voice was a little anxious: "Why are you talking about this again? At the beginning, the eldest brother fell in love with Hui'er and wanted to bring her back to Yan Kingdom regardless of human relations. If I don't find a reason to push her to that kid Xiao Chongfeng to drive her out Go to the mansion, wouldn't Hui'er become a sinner who caused chaos in the palace! Besides, I have helped them a lot over the years, and my elder brother has never stopped thinking about Hui'er. We have his eyeliner in our mansion. If you show kindness to Hui'er casually, if your elder brother finds out, you will know that I was deceiving him back then! Besides, I also sent people to help them a lot in the open and in the dark. This is really an accident."

Mrs. Xun cried: "I don't care! You are sorry for your daughter, and now you want to harm her son, I will never allow it!"

Xun Ketian comforted: "Don't worry, I will find a way to save Cong Er's life?"

.......

Master Zhang outside the door was shocked. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

What did dad mean by those words, back to Yan country?Could it be that their family came from the country of Yan, why did father swear that he could protect Cong Er, who was in front of the emperor, and father was just a merchant in Zhennan, why did he have such confidence?

Full of doubts, Master Zhang sneaked into Master Xun's room on the second day while no one was around.

After searching carefully, Master Zhang found nothing.

"It's strange, what kind of letter is it?" Could it be burned by that old man?

Walking to the candlestick, he was about to check it out, when the voice of the eldest lady Mingyue suddenly sounded outside the door: "Go and weed the grass in the backyard, I'll see it as an eyesore..."

Master Zhang was startled, and accidentally bumped into a dark board on the wall.

The dark board moved, and a small square door on the wall opened, and a stack of letter papers lay quietly inside.

"It's actually here!" Master Zhang exclaimed, afraid of being discovered, he took out the letter inside and started to read it quickly.

Ten lines at a glance, after reading it, he was shocked.

"It turned out to be like this...hahahaha God help me! I can make it to the top, just around the corner!"

When the news reached the palace, Cong Er was only slightly taken aback after hearing it.

The master of the Xun family and Mrs. Xun drove to the temple on the mountain to offer incense. On the way, the horses were frightened, and the two elders fell off the cliff and were smashed to pieces.

Cong Er sat in a daze on the stone steps at the back of the side hall.

He always thought that he had never met his grandma and grandfather, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have.

One day, he hugged the fish he caught from the river, and ran to the house barefoot happily.

A carriage was parked far from home.

An old couple came out of the sedan chair, wearing luxurious clothes. The old man looked very much like his mother, but his facial features were handsome, and he had the appearance of a man.

"Son, why don't you wear shoes! Look at your feet, why are there so many injuries?" The lady burst into tears as she spoke.

Cong Er hugged the fish basket in his arms tightly, and took two steps back, "There are only two pairs of broken shoes at home, and my father and mother wore them. My younger siblings and I have never worn shoes." His toes curled up restlessly.

A Niang said that you can't talk to strangers, but...he thinks these two old people are so kind!

Just say a few words, it shouldn't matter.

"Let's hurry up, don't let those villagers see it, or it will take a lot of work to settle the rumor once it spreads.

The lady responded, took out a stack of money and gave it to Cong Er, "You take it, buy a pair of shoes, buy some medicine to apply to the wound..."

Cong Er shook his head: "I don't want it!"

The old man was quite fierce, "Why are the bones of this family so hard, the big ones don't want money, and the small ones don't want money either!" After finishing speaking, he took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, "You have to ask for it, don't want it!" You have to, too! You don’t want to wear shoes yourself, and neither does your sister! Your house has such a big hole in the pot that it’s difficult to cook porridge, so what if you starve to death!”

Cong Er was very puzzled, how did this master know that the pot in their house was broken?

From the second day, I heard the lady say, "My lord, look how much he looks like Hui'er! Of the three dolls, he looks the most like him!"

The couple said a few more words to him, such as what he usually does, whether mother is bullied by father at home, etc. When answering from the second, the lady kept wiping tears secretly, and then they Reluctantly got into the carriage.

"Are you leaving?" Cong Er hugged the fish basket and chased two steps forward. For some reason, he was a little reluctant to let them go.

The lady's mouth squirmed, as if she was about to say something, she shed two tears, but she stopped after all, afraid that she would be even more reluctant to leave, so she covered her mouth and got into the carriage.

Are you still here?

Ten-year-old Xiao Cong Er wanted to ask, but the carriage was already driving away.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, looking at the starry sky from the second side, I feel a little bitter in my heart.

Obviously when I was young, there were many stars in the sky.

He also remembered that in the cell of the Zhennan County Government, it was different from the dark and damp cell he had imagined at the beginning. The cell he stayed in was very dry, with high windows where he could see the stars and the moon outside.

He was lying on the comfortable bed, and when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he heard the voices of the jailers talking outside the cell.

"Has Master Xun done everything he told you?"

"It's done, it's done, the house is tidy, and there is no mouse."

"Okay! This is the reward from Master Xun to you. Master Xun has told you not to neglect this master. Remember it!"

"Remember to remember!"

......

"Why are you crying?" Xue Jing wiped away the tears from Cong Er's face with his fingertips.

Cong Er leaned on Xue Jing's shoulder, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Your Majesty, do dead people become stars in the sky?"

Xue Jing heard the news of the accidental death of Cong Er's relatives from Xuan Wen, and knew why Cong Er felt so sad.He was born in the emperor's family, and his family ties were very weak.

Xue Jing pointed to a bright star in the sky, "Look! That star might be my mother!"

Cong Er raised his head to look at Xue Jing.

The sharp knife-like jaw was lifted, and there was a smile on the corner of the mouth.

"Your mother..."

Xue Jingman said indifferently: "Yes, my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me. I have never seen her before. I think she must have become a fairy in the sky!"

Cong Er looked at Xue Jing, "What about your father?"

Xue Jing told him: "I passed away due to illness two years ago. You may not believe it, but Guan Shaoweng is actually my uncle..." Cong Er opened his mouth and looked shocked, "But, say It's ridiculous, I'm clearly brothers with King Cheng, but he doesn't have any affection for me, he's more partial to King Cheng, and he wants to get me down so that King Cheng can take the throne."

Cong Er felt sorry for Xue Jing, especially when he said these words in a calm manner, which made Xiao Lianzi feel pity.

The sleeves moved.

Xue Jing looked down.

Cong Er grabbed his sleeve, his eyes were like a young rabbit's, his eyes were extremely sincere, and he whispered to him: "From now on, I will be your family, okay?"

Xue Jing froze for a moment, his heart was burning hot, he bent his mouth, leaned against Cong Er's body, and wrapped his arms around him.

"Fool, you have long been my family."

The moon is white and the air is clear, and the wind and clouds are scattered in the sky.

In an instant, the sky was full of stars, dotted in the boundless darkness.
