After finishing sowing dissension, Qingli took Xiaomeimei back to the Hu residence in secret.

In the past few days, the Hu Mansion has been much quieter. Hu Yin was under the family law and could not move while lying on the couch. Naturally, Su Qing had to take care of her closely, and the two of them couldn't do anything for a while.

Hu Yan went directly to Prime Minister Hu's study, and Qing Li, the guard outside the door, dismissed him with a secret guard token.

in the study.

Prime Minister Hu was stern, holding a copy of "Fa Yan", and was examining Hu Ping's recitation.

It seems that the situation is not ideal.

"Trash, how long have you been reading this book and still can't memorize it! Look at your brother, who is only one year younger than you, and he has already memorized it backwards! It's really useless!"

Prime Minister Hu threw the book at Hu Ping viciously, with a trace of disgust hidden deep in his eyes: "Get out!"

Hu Ning was so scolded that his face was red and his ears were red. He hung his head and did not speak. Even his forehead was bleeding from the hit of the book, and he did not dare to change his expression.

His father always compared him with his younger brother, no matter what he did.

Perhaps there is also an element of venting anger. These days, my father is so angry because of Sister Yin that even Aunt Su doesn't want to see him anymore, not to mention that he happened to hit the gun.

Hu Bin knew that he was not smart enough, so he tried his best to memorize it, but he forgot it again and again, and couldn't remember it.

From childhood to adulthood, his father always looked at him with disappointment in his eyes, and he would also feel uncomfortable.

He didn't want to let his father down anymore, so he worked hard to build a good relationship with Su's mother and son, because he knew that his father liked them.

The so-called love the house and the black, so will the father also have a little bit of love for him because of this?

"Father, give me another chance, and I will definitely not let you down!" Hu Ning picked up the book on the floor, wiped the blood that was streaming down her forehead, and looked at Prime Minister Hu pleadingly.

"Didn't you hear that I told you to get lost!" Prime Minister Hu was already impatient.

"Father..." Hu Ning's lips moved a few times, and finally he could only lower his head in frustration.

He let his father down again.

"It's so hot, it's time for the servants to prepare some chrysanthemum tea and let the fire go." A chuckle sounded.

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the woman was dressed in plain clothes, her steps were neither fast nor slow, her posture was calm, and the bells tied around her waist collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

She was wearing a white gauze hat, separated by a piece of gauze, so that people could not see her face clearly.

Behind the woman was a girl in black, holding a long sword in her hand, her face was cold and stern, and her eyes were neither sad nor happy.

"Qingli, why are you here!" Seeing the woman in black, Prime Minister Hu widened his eyes, then looked at the woman wearing a bamboo hat, and said in disbelief, "Could it be...you are Hu Yan!"

The woman didn't speak, but slowly took off her bamboo hat, and smiled slightly at Prime Minister Hu who looked astonished.

"But after a few days of separation, has the father even forgotten his daughter's voice?"

The voice is thin and soft, but each word has thorns hidden in it, which is painful.

Sweeping his gaze, his eyes fell on the young boy standing in the corner. The blood on the boy's forehead had stopped, but he still looked a little scary.

"Ah Ping, what did you do?" Hu Yan frowned subconsciously, even though she had decided not to care about Hu Ping anymore, seeing him injured, she still couldn't help asking more questions.

Hu Yan's eyes flickered, he opened his mouth to say something, but he closed his mouth again, turning his head away from looking at Hu Yan.

"Bullshit!"

Prime Minister Hu stared at Hu Yan and let out a loud shout, his chest heaving up and down with anger.

"As the concubine of the harem, how can you leave the palace without permission! And you, Qingli, I told you to watch Hu Yan carefully, and didn't let you do whatever you want with her! Now, immediately, immediately, bring me back to the palace Don’t let anyone find out! Then come back and be punished!”

Qingli raised her eyes lazily and glanced at Prime Minister Hu, then twitched the corners of her mouth, remained motionless, and continued to stand where she was, as if Prime Minister Hu's order did not exist.

"Qingli, how dare you disobey your master's order!" Seeing that Qingli didn't move, Prime Minister Hu narrowed his eyes, his tone was gloomy, it seemed that he was going to have a Gu attack, let Qingli learn a lesson.

Seeing Prime Minister Hu like this, Hu Yan pursed her lips, secretly regretting that she should not have involved Ah Li, after all, Ah Li's life was still in the hands of her father.

"Father..." She was about to say something, trying to calm down Prime Minister Hu, but she was stopped by Qing Li just as she opened her mouth.

"How does Xiangye know that the empress left the palace privately, instead of with the permission of the emperor?"

Hearing this, everyone in the study was taken aback.

Prime Minister Hu was taken aback, and felt that he might have wrongly blamed Hu Yan, but as the head of the family, how could he feel guilty for such a trivial matter, so he straightened his clothes and asked in a pretentious manner: "Then what do you think?" What's the matter with you leaving the palace and returning to the mansion?"

Hu Yan glanced at Qingli, her eyes were a little complicated, but right now she couldn't allow her to think too much, so she had to bow to Prime Minister Hu, with a humble attitude.

"Father, Concubine Rou had a miscarriage. Qingli found out that the concubine in the harem did it on purpose, and she wanted to use it to harm me. The plan is not very clear. The daughter has no one to rely on except Qingli in the palace. With the strength of a chicken, I can only ask my father to help my daughter."

This statement was half false and half true, and of course they knew it clearly, but they said it deliberately in front of Prime Minister Hu.

"Do you know which concubine it is?" Prime Minister Hu frowned and asked.

He knew that it must be a bad thing for his daughter to come to the door, and it was true.

"It's Concubine Rong and Concubine De." Hu Yan pursed her lips and replied.

Among the three noble concubines in the palace, Concubine Rong, Concubine De, and Concubine Rou, among them, Concubine Rong's family is the most powerful, and even the emperor has to avoid it by three points.In contrast, although Concubine Rou's father is a great general, his military power has been divided into sevens and eighties over the years, and his power is the weakest among the three. It is really unlucky to lose his child.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Hu's heart skipped a beat.

"Ah Yan, my father thinks that you are too suspicious. What are the status of Concubine Rong and Concubine De? Why would you embarrass a little concubine like you? Qingli must have heard it wrong, don't think too much about it."

Vague, just plain vague.

Hu Yan endured the coldness in her heart, and asked again: "Father, my daughter just wants to know, when my daughter is imprisoned tomorrow, will my father think of a little bit of father-daughter love and come to the palace to help me, even if Nothing can be saved, just begging for mercy."

Prime Minister Hu didn't say a word, he wanted to say something high-sounding, but if what Hu Yan said was true, wouldn't he face himself tomorrow?Who is Concubine Rong and Concubine De?The family power behind them is a height that Prime Minister Hu can only look up to.

He also begged for mercy, if he really offended those two concubines, it would be too late for him to sever the father-daughter relationship with Hu Yan, and he only hoped that the emperor would not bring the Hu family down because of Hu Yan's disaster.

Prime Minister Hu's silence made Hu Yan know the answer. She smiled, her eyes were bleak, and her heart was even colder.

"Sister, why are you doing this? You obviously made a mistake yourself, so why did you ask your father to intercede. It wasn't you who wanted to enter the palace at the beginning, and now you are responsible for all this."

Hu Yan suddenly stepped forward, ignoring the blood stains on his forehead, and said to Hu Yan sternly.

He looks like a righteous boy.

The so-called killing heart is nothing more than that.

Qing Li tightly clenched her fists, staring at Hu Ping coldly, she really wanted to give this brat a good beating right now, to let him know why Hua'er is so popular!

But in the end she still held back, Hu Bin is different from others, he is Xiaomei's younger brother, and a relative who gave everything for Xiaomei.

Hu Yan stared at Hu Ping for a long time, so long that Hu Ping felt a little creepy.

She looked right, she was her brother, but why did she become a complete stranger in just a few months, like a monster wearing her brother's skin and baring its teeth and claws at her.

"Hu Bin."

This was the first time that Hu Yan called Hu Ping's name so directly. Her voice was so soft that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"You always thought that I was the one who wanted to enter the palace? No, no, it was because of you, because of my good brother. If it wasn't for you, why would I have to work so hard to survive in the deep palace? Why would I come here now to beg my father for help?" own life."

Hu Yan's heart ached to the point of bleeding, and the corners of her eyes were flushed red.

It turned out that her younger brother treated her that way.

She's so stupid, really... so stupid.

"What do you mean, what do you mean because of me!" Hu Bin felt a little uneasy.

Hu Yan didn't give him an answer, she just turned around and walked out of the study on her own, without saying hello to Prime Minister Hu.

"This is a choice you make yourself, I hope you don't regret it."

Before leaving, Qingli turned her head and said coldly to the stunned young man.

Since you chose to give up your sister, then you have to accept all the consequences of giving up.

"Hu Bin, you must not tell anyone about Hu Yan's visit today, just pretend that she has never been here before, do you hear that?" Prime Minister Hu said calmly from the side.

But Hu Bin, who had always respected him the most, didn't reply, he just stared blankly at the direction Hu Yan left outside the door, recalling the resolute look in his sister's eyes when he left, his heart seemed to be empty.

He...was wrong.

"Father, is the matter serious this time? Are you really...won't you help sister?"

"Nonsense, this matter is rotten in my stomach. When the emperor asks, I will put aside everything with her, so that the impact on the Hu family will be less."

Prime Minister Hu's attitude was very ruthless and cold.

Hu Bin just felt cold-hearted. Most of the time, his hostility towards his sister was deliberately done to please his father. He knew that his father didn't like to see their siblings being intimate.

But until now, he suddenly realized, why did he go to such great lengths to please his father?

For a perfunctory compliment?For a faint smile?

neither.

He just... wants to go back to the past, back to the time when his mother was still there and his father would hug him to make him happy.

Heh... It turns out that they are all just deceiving themselves.

After returning to the Yuanwei Palace, Hu Yan just sat there blankly, her eyes were blank, and she didn't say anything.

Qing Li asked the servants to back down, walked to Hu Yan silently, and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

This trial was simply tragic.

"Ali." Hu Yan paused, then suddenly said.

"Now, I have nothing, no mother, no father, no younger brother, no relatives, I lost everything."

These words are really sad, it is obvious that her father and brother are still alive, but it is no different from death, and what she has done will only make her feel even more chilled.

When the heart is hurt to the extreme, it becomes numb.

"My last memory of the Hu Mansion was completely cut off."

Hu Yan took off the golden hairpin from her hair, and without the slightest hesitation, she drew a strand of blue hair. All the weakness, fragility, and sadness in her eyes were completely annihilated at this moment, replaced by indifference, darkness, and determination.

"From now on, I'm just myself."

"Miss, no matter what happens, Ah Li will accompany Miss." Qingli did not stop Hu Yan's movements, but said slowly, her tone was extremely firm.

"I know." Hu Yan's eyes flickered, and the gloom in her eyes faded a little.

She bent the corners of her lips: "Ali, you are my hidden guard, my shadow, my sharp blade, and more... a part of my life."

The two of them have long been inseparable.
