Enemies are reborn

Chang'an City, without Gao Yang's troubles, suddenly calmed down, and it didn't take long for the Yan family's children to return to their original appearance. After being left in Chang'an City, Bi Shu lived in the Princess Leyang's mansion.

The prince in the palace was newly mourned, Zhao Mian was depressed, so he summoned Xie Yu to play chess, and felt a little better after seeing the woman he had been thinking about day and night, halfway through the game, the servant hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Bishu is in the mansion was assassinated."

With a sound of 'click', the chess piece in Zhao Mian's hand dropped, and Xie Yu bent down to pick it up. Zhao Mian quickly came back to his senses and questioned the servant who was speaking: "Where's the assassin?"

The servant kowtowed and said, "Run away."

Zhao Mian slapped the chessboard violently, and the chess pieces flew wildly, splashing on Xie Yu's forehead, smashing into a red mark.Zhao Mian was so angry that he didn't notice it, and was so angry that he was spinning around in the hall. Xie Yu waved his hand to signal the servants to go out first, and he comforted the emperor himself: "It is urgent now, I will go to the Ministry of punishment to investigate immediately."

"No, order the Ministry of Punishment, Zongzheng Temple, and Dali Temple to jointly investigate. If they can't find out, they will lose their heads." Zhao Mian looked sullen, with the abyss hidden in his eyes.

Xie Yu took the order.

Zhao Mian felt that these were not enough. Bi Shu had only one enemy, Yan Xiang and his wife, and said angrily, "Do you think I'm blind or a fool? I'm so anxious to do this, I don't take me seriously at all."

Xie Yu stared at the chessboard and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why lychees are so expensive in Chang'an?"

Zhao Mian was annoyed, he suddenly heard such a sentence, he was puzzled at first, but when he saw the deep meaning in Xie Yu's eyes again, he was enlightened, and he took two steps back unconsciously, after taking a few breaths, he made a big decision and generally restarted. He cheered up and said: "Teacher, go and investigate, I can only rely on you."

"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty." Xie Yu stood up and said goodbye.

Walking out of Hanguang Hall, he saw Wen Yu holding something in his hands, and when he got closer to see it, it was a booklet.

The cuffs of Wen Yuke's official robe were stained with blood, and even her feet were the same. After seeing Xie Yu, she told the story: "The mansion where the assassin went yesterday, the official suspected that there was someone in the mansion to pick him up, quietly , and I remember that Bi Shu will be able to fight martial arts."

Xie Yu took the booklet, glanced at it roughly, and said: "Your Majesty ordered the three divisions to investigate, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Zongzheng Temple."

Wen Yu was not surprised. After the prince died of illness, some people began to talk about setting up the emperor's younger brother. In the previous life, it was after the prince's death that Zhao Ji had a chance.

The two met in front of the steps and said a few words about politics, Xie Yu returned the booklet to her: "Did Xiao Kunning send you a letter?"

Wen Yuke took back the booklet, and walked up the stairs directly past her, not wanting to say a word.

Xie Yu's face turned a little cold, but he was not angry, and walked slowly out of the Hanging Dragon Road in Hanguang Palace.

At the end of the Dragon Road came a gorgeous woman, Yan Ruyu was wearing a rose red palace gown with wide sleeves, the jewels on her hair were shining so brightly that Xie Yu closed her eyes slightly.

The two met each other, Xie Yu half bent over to salute, Yan Ruyu straightened her back, her eyes swept Xie Yu's face for a while, "Teacher lost weight."

"The empress is plump." Xie Yu said calmly.

Yan Ruyu choked, and said unwillingly: "The Taifu lost weight because of something on his mind. I am very happy to see it. I heard that Bi Shu died. What is the Taifu thinking?"

"No idea. No one wants to stop what your aunt wants to do. After all, I heard that her face is exactly the same as that of Princess Leyang." Xie Yu didn't bother to look at her.

Yan Ruyu's spring shirt is thin, her jade neck is slender, her figure is slimmer and weaker than before, she is tender and tender, men like soft women.Xie Yu on the opposite side looked like a saint as always, unstained, so beautiful that people couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

She said disdainfully: "It's useless to look like it, the person is already dead, I heard that I turned my face first."

The death is horrific.

Xie Yu stood on one side, looking at the majestic and solemn eaves of Hanguang Hall, and said in a puzzled way: "The Ministry of Punishment just sent the news, how did the empress know about it, don't you have the ability to predict the future?"

The flamboyant Yan Ruyu forgot the details, and was not annoyed by Xie Yu's exposure, instead she sneered: "Whatever you say, I will go to see His Majesty, and I will share the good news with you. I am pregnant for two months."

"Oh, then congratulations, empress, I will leave first." Xie Yu smiled lightly, saluted and left.

Xie Yu has always been such a goddess to the outside world, beautiful, well-behaved, and modest in speech.Yan Ruyu wished to tear up her hypocritical face and let the world see her ugly inside.

After Zhao Mian got rid of Zhao Ji and the Queen Mother, it was Xie Yu's turn.

After Xie Yu met the two of them one after another, he walked out of the palace much faster. After boarding the carriage, Yu Yin took out a letter, wanted to give it but didn't want to, and handed it to her after some hesitation: "Sir, it seems inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Xie Yu took the letter.Master Wen Yuke wrote on the letter, when he tore open the envelope, he saw Xiao Kunning's beautiful small characters.

Little liars would not write to her, this was specially sent by Nongqin after intercepting Xiao Kunning's letter.Nongqin has a simple mind and is all for Xie Yu, while Yu Yin is much more delicate in mind, and the two complement each other, but Nongqin left to protect Xiao Kunning, and after acting alone, he showed his original shape.

Actually intercepted the letter directly.

The whole article is written about the interesting things encountered on the road, such as going to Huafang and meeting many talented women, who can sing and dance well, and they are also good-looking.There is also a big fish that is one person tall in the river. After buying it back, it will be enough for everyone in the Zhao family to eat. I wrote a few papers with meaningless words, and asked Wen Yuke to be careful at the end. To provoke Xie Yu.

Don't provoke Xie Yu... Xie Yu was so angry that his head hurt, whether she was a scourge or a wolf, Xiao Kunning asked Xiao Kunning to write a letter to remind Wen Yuke.

When he was so angry that he lost his mind, he simply tore up the letter paper recklessly.Yu Yin couldn't see how she gave up on herself, especially after Miss Xiao left, her husband's temper became more irritable, he would tear things up every now and then, and he would sharpen his dagger when he didn't sleep at night.

It's fine if you don't sleep all night. During the day, you should lie down and sleep for a while. How could you know that the husband is crazy during the day? There are too many cases in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They all complained.

When the carriage was talking about the busy market, the sound of peddlers came in, Xie Yu was impatient, and seeing what he was going to say, Yu Yin said anxiously: "Sir, go to Jiangnan."

Xie Yu said with a cold face, "No."

Yu Yin persuaded: "You should go. The local officials in Jiangnan have embezzled a lot of money. You can ask for an order. Miss Xiao is not an elegant person. She will definitely play around in Jiangnan. Without Mrs. Wen, there are many gentlemen Girl."

The important thing is that Miss Xiao's face is too good-looking, which girl doesn't like it.

Xie Yu fell silent, and Yu Yin immediately dug out a document from the south of the Yangtze River in the secret compartment and handed it to Xie Yu, saying, "If Mister doesn't make a decision, Mr. Wen will go. Bi Shu is her own fault, and you don't have to be angry for her." , Think about Miss Xiao, it will be too late if you don't go."

After following Xie Yu for so many years, Yu Yin understood her temper, she looked cold and reserved, she was just a child at heart, she was soft but not tough.

The wind direction in Chang'an City changed again. Zhao Mian ordered Princess Jingyang to close the door in the mansion, and she was not allowed to leave the mansion if she could not find the murderer. The third department mobilized more than a thousand people to investigate the case, implicating many people.

After half a month of investigation, the clue was found on the maid who was rewarded by the emperor, and the maid committed suicide in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

All the dirty water was pushed on the emperor.

When the news reached the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Kunning and Zhao Can were going to pick lotus. Zhao Can staggered on the small boat, and a small boat sailed out of the green lotus leaves.

Zhao Can's boat was wobbly, Xiao Kunning sat in it and swayed from side to side, while the boat opposite was floating steadily on the water.The girl on the small boat was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with big black eyes, wearing a pink double-breasted dress, showing delicate collarbones, and covered her lips and smiled when she saw the two who couldn't hold a boat: "Sit down, or else you will be a little girl." It won't be stable."

Zhao Can's eyes lit up, and he stopped when he saw the girl. It was Xiao Kunning who pulled her to sit down, and the little girl's boat rowed in, and handed them a few lotus pods: "You guys are new here? It doesn't look like this place." people."

Xiao Kunning took it and handed it to Zhao Can: "Why did the girl say that?"

"I heard that two beautiful girls came to the host's house. They don't know how to swim. I guess it's you. The boat is for paddling, and you will lose your balance if you stand on it. And just one for each of you."

The little girl had a hearty smile, and a few words made Zhao Can squint and smile, "Sister knows a lot."

"I stay here every day, so naturally there will be more. If you don't understand water, don't go deep. It's easy to capsize. I'll go first."

Zhao Can asked anxiously, "Where is sister going?"

As soon as the words were finished, the boat was already sailing far away, and Zhao Can reluctantly chased after it, annoyed that the boat was spinning in place but not moving, she was so angry that she wanted to smash the boat.Xiao Kunning raised his forehead, the little girl grew up, and began to miss other girls.

Zhao Can didn't catch up with him, and when he went back, he was unhappy. Gao Yang and Zhao Xiran came back from the outside together. They wore similar clothes, as if they were specially made, but no one took it to heart.

The housekeeper handed over the letter from Chang'an City, Gao Yang was indifferent after reading it, but Xiao Kunning was nervous: "Is there something going on in Chang'an City?"

"It's nothing serious, I'm going back to the fiefdom, do you want to go?" Gao Yang stuffed the letter back into his cuffs, turned around and looked at Zhao Can: "Don't go back, just play outside with peace of mind."

Zhao Can hummed twice and agreed, Gao Yang invited Xiao Kunning outside to talk, and when there were no one around, he said, "When did you and Xie Yu meet?"

Xiao Kunning thought for a while: "Five or six years ago."

The outside of the house is fresh, with a slight breeze and a refreshing smell. It smells very comfortable, not as depressing as before.

Gao Yang was silent for a while, remembering what happened just now and it was not good to talk to Xiao Kunning, so he changed his words after thinking about it: "Xie Yu has a deep thought, and he can see clearly what happened in the court, I don't think she is For ordinary people, a dignified and beautiful woman is the best blade."

She had doubts about Xie Yu, Xie Yu is too good, perfect, such a woman is the deadliest temptation for a man.At first, I thought that Xie Yu wanted to be a queen because of Zhao Mian, but after a few encounters, Xie Yu showed wisdom, calmness, and confidence in things. It can be seen that she doesn't care about anything.

Women are different from men, such a battlefield is unfair to women, but Xie Yu can handle it with ease. Such Xie Yu reminds her of a person.

Her elder sister, Princess Leyang.

She was shocked by the similarity in temperament and behavior between the two unrelated people, but the appearance of the two was very different.Elder Sister is bright and enthusiastic, while Xie Yu is as cold as snow, irrelevant.

Xie Yu's past can be known at a glance, but it seems weird if people check it clearly.

It stands to reason that they are allies and shouldn't doubt each other, but with Bi Shu's death, she has to suspect that she has slipped into a trap.

Get into the trap that Xie Yu tailor-made for her.

Xiao Kunning is a reborn person, and he knows little about Xie Yu's past, but he knows a little better than Gao Yang. Xie Yu is a devil, a devil who came with hatred, or wants to be an emperor.

She didn't know if Xie Yu would be the emperor after her death. Everyone in the Zhao clan who could be the emperor died, and they were all killed. In the end, Xie Yu changed his dynasty, and no one would refuse.

She thought about it and said, "Xie Yu is so wise and close to a demon, you'd better be careful."

"What do you know?" Gao Yang speculated.

There were more potted peonies under the eaves. Xiao Kunning remembered that he met Xie Yu in the peony garden in his previous life. The weather in spring was very good. Xie Yu was walking alone, and he was not surprised when he saw her, so he came forward I picked a peony flower.

Xie Yu was very beautiful that day, holding a flower with clear joints, white snow and red plum, from clear to pure red and coquettish.

It's like walking between goodness and evil, she thinks that goodness is the white snow, and evil is the bright red peony.

Xie Yu gave her the flowers in a rare way: "Your Majesty looks like a peony flower today."

She didn't understand what it meant, and wanted to ask clearly, Xie Yu smiled and left without explaining to her at all.

She has not understood the meaning of that sentence until today, she is not like a peony flower.

Xiao Kunning remained silent, and Gao Yang felt that she was hiding something, so he simply tore off the window paper, and said, "Xie Yu likes you, and I want to use you very much."

Xie Yu seems to be a person who doesn't care about anything, but for a verbal agreement to ally with her, anyone with a brain will realize the importance of Xiao Kunning.

Xiao Kunning's reaction was dull at first, but ironic: "You think too much."

"I thought the two of you were in the same mind. It turned out that Luo Hua intended to be ruthless. It's ridiculous." Gao Yang suddenly felt lucky that someone finally came to clean up Xie Yu.She said generously: "Xie Yu asked Zhao Xiran not to interfere in your marriage. Before Zhao Xiran set up a trick to make your father a laughing stock in Chang'an City. The emperor was furious. It was Xie Yu who calmed down and kept your father's official position. That's all I know , and there may be many others.”

Xiao Kunning shook his head in disbelief: "I once had a dream that Xie Yu had a grudge against me, and I died in her hands in the end."

It is obviously a very serious matter, but Gao Yang inexplicably finds it funny, Xie Yu, Xie Yu, you should have heard this with your own ears, let you plot against me, and plot against me with a counterfeit.

"In this case, you just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Xiao Kunning didn't know what she wanted to express, but she still didn't believe this weird rhetoric. What Xie Yu wanted was supreme power, and at this time, she wouldn't think of the relationship between her children.

Xie Yu is doomed to be alone all his life.

After getting the answer from Xiao Kunning, Gao Yang directly transcribed the original words and sent them over quickly.In order to express his hatred, he temporarily decided to stay for a few days, leading Xiao Kunning and Zhao Can to meet the magistrate.

King Gao Yang didn't have much power in Chang'an City, but he was still a big man in a small place. Gao Yang led the two of them to meet many people, including many beautiful women.

Zhao Can was thinking about the little girl from that day, so he asked his servants to search for her from house to house, but after a few days of searching, there was no trace, and he lay down in Zhao's house for two days disheartened, dragging Xiao Kunning to eat local delicacies.The young lady is gone, so I can only eat something.

Xiao Kunning met a lot of beautiful and artistic women, such as the perfect sound of the harp and the love of the pipa, all of which are unique in the local area. When she was happy, she had to comfort Zhao Can a few words.

Zhao Can felt dissatisfied after eating in various restaurants, so she went to the lotus place to wait every day, and finally saw the little girl after waiting for seven or eight days.

The girl's surname is Wang, a native of the area, and she makes a living by picking lotus. When you get closer, you can see that the girl's big eyes are especially charming, lively and cute, and she is about the same height as Zhao Can. Standing together, the two are quite a good match.

Zhao Can abandoned the fragrant sister Xiao and took the girl to play every day. They came and went, they were familiar with each other, but Gao Yang left at this time, the fief was in a hurry and had to go.

Xiao Kunning received posts every day. Although the Zhao family was a merchant, their business spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Local officials would not take the initiative to offend them. With Zhao Can around, she naturally became the most welcome person.

Zhao Xiran wished that she would forget Xie Yu and Wen Yuke, and would not restrain her. If she wanted to forget a relationship, she had to start a new relationship. What Xiao Kunning lacked was a girl who would greet her with care.

The Gu family came over at this time, and Gu Ning led Su Ying to the door to ask for advice. What he had promised before could not be changed. Zhao Xiran settled the two of them down and hid Xiao Kunning.

Gu Ning and Xie Yu are in collusion, neither is a good thing.

She hid Xiao Kunning in Zhizhou Mansion.

The surname of Zhizhou here is Sun, and the house is simple. Sun Zhizhou never took a concubine, and he has two sons and a daughter. The son went to Chang'an to catch the exam, but did not come back after getting an errand in the Imperial Academy. There is only his daughter Sun Zhilan in the mansion, who is two years younger than Xiao Kunning.

Zhao Xiran rushed back to Zhao's house after sending people in. There was also Zhao Can in the mansion, and he had been instructed not to show his mouth.

Zhao Can was with Miss Wang every day, they were inseparable, they were so good that they almost wore a pair of trousers, and when they saw Su Ying far away, they would make a detour.

After a long time, no matter how stupid Su Ying is, she will understand. She specially made some snacks and sent them to Zhao Can.

Zhao Can couldn't stand the temptation the most, and she smiled happily after eating a snack. Su Ying took the opportunity to ask her, "I heard that you came with Xiao Kunning, why didn't you see her?"

"Xiao, sister Xiao..." Zhao Can's small mouth was tightly closed, and her eyes rolled around vigilantly.Seeing this, Su Ying pushed the candied fruit in her hand towards her, "I miss Xiao Kunning a little bit, and she misses me too."

"Sister Xiao misses you?" Zhao Can became suspicious, and after remembering Zhao Xiran's order, she clenched her teeth and remained silent.

Seeing this, Su Ying knew that there must be a big problem, so she didn't rush to ask, she smiled lightly and didn't speak.

Zhao Can ran away after eating a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, for fear of accidentally saying the wrong thing.

When Gu Ning came back at night, she told Gu Ning herself.Gu Ning thought it was normal, and said: "Zhao Xiran is guarding us, it's like guarding Xie Yu, the evil wolf."

Su Ying: "..."

****

The sun at the beginning of summer was a little bit scorching, Zhao Xiran asked someone to send Xia Shan to Sun's residence, Xiao Kunning didn't know what kind of gourd Zhao Xiran was selling, guessed there must be something behind it.

The girl from the Sun family is gentle, the girl from Jiangnan has a gentle smile, her tone is calm, and she treats people with understanding. Seeing so many clothes, she joked: "Master Zhao wants you to live in my house, but it's okay, you and I just happen to be companions." .”

Xiao Kunning couldn't compare to her gentle voice, feeling depressed and bored in her heart, she had no choice but to pull herself together: "That's fine."

Sun Rou pulled her to sit down together: "I'll teach you how to give a needle."

Xiao Wenxue's shadow can always be seen in her body, both of them are well-behaved ladies, trapped in the rules of the square, Xiao Kunning is not easy to refuse, and follows her to pick up the needle and thread slowly.

Sun Rou is very good at embroidery, and she doesn't go out of the house on weekdays. She takes Xiao Kunning to embroider together, and after a long time, she has tempered her xinxing.

One day, the magistrate came to pass a message, ordering the two to put on decent clothes. Officials from Chang'an City came, and the Sun's residence hosted a banquet to entertain them.

Xiao Kunning didn't know who it was, there was no reason for the two of them to meet someone, could it be that there were family members, if there were family members, it would be reasonable.

Sun Rou seldom met outsiders, and after hearing the news, she was a little nervous. She walked back and forth in the room, squeezed her palms and said, "Ah Ning, I'm nervous."

Xiao Kunning rested her chin and ignored her nervousness. She also felt this way when she went to Chang'an City. The nervousness was not because she was ashamed, but because she was afraid that others would look down on her.

"You don't have to be afraid. Madam will be there, you just need to sit quietly."

"Really?" Sun Rou was worried.

Xiao Kunning reassured again: "Really, listen to it then."

Only then did Sun Rou calm down, she admired Xiao Kunning very much in her heart, she pulled her to ask about the affairs in Chang'an City, and said, "I heard that there is a Grand Tutor Xie who is quick-witted, knowledgeable about the ancient and the present, and full of knowledge?"

Sure enough, the world is all hearsay.Xiao Kunning hated it so badly in his heart, Xie Yu could bear the word of sanctimonious, and said patiently: "Teacher Xie is indeed very powerful."

No, Sun Rou became more and more excited, and couldn't help but said: "I will go to Chang'an City to meet Mr. Xie in my lifetime."

Xiao Kunning: "..." Xie Yu, you liar.

The two changed their clothes and went out together. Xiao Kunning walked slowly, and Sun Rou pulled her cuffs in front: "I look at you and you don't seem nervous at all."

"You're too nervous, go out and walk around more in the future." Xiao Kunning had no choice but to speed up the pace with Sun Rou.

When approaching the courtyard where the guests were received, Mrs. Zhizhou sent a message to Sun Rou, telling her to go back to pick up something. Xiao Kunning was waiting for her to come back by the courtyard wall.

In summer, the sun was so bright that it made people dizzy. She walked slightly towards the shade, but before she could get closer, someone pulled her wrist, and she threw herself into the shade unconsciously.

Xiao Kunning instinctively wanted to call for help, but opened her mouth but saw a familiar figure, Xie Yu covered her mouth.

"Long time no see, I've lost my courage."

Xiao Kunning was horrified and frightened, Xie Yu was crazy, she pushed Xie Yu away helplessly: "What are you doing?"

In Xiao Kunning's eyes were disgust and dislike, as well as Fang's fading fear.Xie Yu withdrew his outstretched hand again, and turned his back behind his back: "Zhao Xiran hid you because he was afraid of me?"

"Hiding?" Xiao Kunning thought about what happened recently, Zhao Xiran knew in advance that Xie Yu would come?She laughed angrily, "What are you hiding, sir think I will run away?"

Xie Yu looked at her quietly: "You are very courageous. What is running away after drawing the turtle?"
