Enemies are reborn

The wine in his mouth lost its original flavor. Shen Siyuan felt that the wine was too astringent. Xie Yu's clear eyes suddenly became deep, and he took his behavior into his heart: "The first emperor was afraid of the queen mother when Zhao Mian was not appointed. But Zhao Ji has no ability to be a monarch, benevolence and righteousness cannot suppress important ministers, and it is easy to attract foreign relatives to monopolize power."

Shen Siyuan has been at the border for many years, and he has already figured out the situation in Chang'an City. He didn't know what Xie Yu said. It’s going to be a disaster in the end.”

"Did King Gaoyang tell you these words?" Xie Yu asked coldly.

Shen Siyuan stopped suddenly, facing Xie Yu's cold expression, he selectively concealed it: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"When the first emperor left, he intended to give him the throne. You can see what he has done. Do you think he is still cowardly?" Xie Yu got up and filled the two empty wine glasses with wine. It reflected her abyss and unwavering eyes.

"My lord, I have been looking for the person who drove my mother crazy, and the person who took the risk to rescue me later."

Shen Siyuan's hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly, and the wine overflowed from the glass, "It's him?"

"I dare not guess, Jiangnan Gu Zong is working for Yan Xiang, but this time he told everything without interrogation." Xie Yu guessed.

"Can't wait to confess?" Shen Siyuan was slightly unbelievable, Yan Huaizhen has been controlling the government with the Queen Mother for so many years, Zhao Mian almost hated it, the Yan family fell a little too fast?Although the emperor conspired, but this time it was a corruption case, Yan Huaizhen would not be so disrespectful.

He thought for a while, and had to say: "In addition to the emperor, is there someone else's credit?"

Xie Yu didn't answer immediately. In her previous life, she was blinded by hatred, and no one wanted to find out the person behind her. It was also because of her blind self-confidence that she killed too many people and killed too many people.

By the time she went to pick up her mother, there was no one in the abandoned palace, and she couldn't find out where she went.

"I think coming to the Yan family is hated by everyone." She smiled lightly, raised her head and poured the wine from the wine cup down her throat, choking and coughing several times.

Shen Siyuan heard something wrong from her cough: "Why is she crazy?"

"I went crazy all of a sudden, and every time I grabbed my hand, I would ask if it was dawn? Ask me why I wanted to destroy her." Xie Yu's straight spine finally bent slightly, and there was hatred in his deep eyes, which he couldn't suppress His resentment hit him fast and hard like a tidal wave.

That unbearable memory flooded into her mind in an instant, and she could hardly forget the days in the palace.

The dilapidated eaves, the mottled walls, the temples facing the wind on all sides...

She took a sharp breath: "I really want to know how my mother fell to such a point back then, do you know?"

Xie Yu's face was gloomy, and resentment that didn't belong to her surged on her exquisite facial features, and her slender five fingers clenched into fists fiercely. Shen Siyuan, who was opposite, saw that she couldn't control her emotions and filled her up with wine: " The old things are over..." He paused in a trance, thinking about what happened just now, and suddenly realized: "The person who drove her crazy was King Gaoyang?"

Xie Yu didn't speak, and silently admitted.

Shen Siyuan couldn't sit still anymore, nails grew on the stool, he couldn't sit comfortably, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and asked Xie Yu impatiently: "It's all your guess?"

"It's just a guess." Xie Yu drank another cup, no matter how much Shen Siyuan asked again, he didn't speak.

One cup after another, Shen Si was far from drunk when she was drunk, sitting at the table in a daze, talking to the lamp.

Shen Siyuan didn't know her experiences in these years, so he could only let her pour her own drink, and finally she couldn't understand what she said, so she sent someone to find Xiao Kunning.

"She seems to be drunk." He took the last jug of wine and left, sighing again and again before leaving.

Xie Yu rested his chin and just looked at the lamp without blinking his eyes. The corners of his already bright red lips seemed to be as bright as dewdrops, sometimes blooming and sometimes pursed.

"Xiao Kunning, fool, little liar..."

Xiao Kunning heard these few words before approaching, and in the principle of not bullying the drunkard, asked someone to make sober soup, and sat down with the drunkard himself, staring at her slightly drunken face, "Xie Xiaoyu, who do you like the most?"

Xie Yu ignored her, his eyes staring at the lights were astringent, his slender eyelashes trembled, and he muttered a few words but did not speak.

Xiao Kunning had no choice but to take away her precious lamp, and sat on the spot by herself, "Xie Xiaoyu, do you like Xiao Kunning?"

"Who is Xiao Kunning?" Xie Yu rolled his eyelids, and added a bit of childishness to his flushed face.

"Then who do you like?" Xiao Kunning repeated what he said just now.

Xie Yu raised his eyes: "Like, little, fool."

Xiao Kunning clenched his fists and stared at her: "Little fool doesn't like you, but Wen Yuke."

"Little fool..." Xie Yu hesitated to speak, put his hand on his chin with another hand, raised his hand and tapped Xiao Kunning's forehead, "You liar."

Xiao Kunning curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Are you very smart?"

"Smart, Xiao Yu is the smartest." Xie Yu raised his head confidently, his blurred eyes lit up, and he approached Xiao Kunning with a frown, and told her in a low voice: "Xiao Kunning is the stupidest, I like fools."

Xiao Kunning: "..."

The maid brought over the hangover soup, but Xie Yu refused to drink it. Xiao Kunning asked someone to fetch a clean wine cup, poured the hangover soup into the cup, and lined up in front of Xie Yu one by one, "Drink?"

Xie Yu nodded fiercely: "Drink." Without waiting for Xiao Kunning's urging, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it. When the wine entered his throat, he frowned in confusion: "It seems wrong."

Alcoholics are not easy to coax, so Xiao Kunning simply drank a glass in front of her, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Xie Yu believe it, and drank the rest of the 'wine' all at once, and finally fell asleep leaning against the table.

Xiao Kunning asked Yu Yin to take her back to the bedroom.

The night is as cool as water, and the bright moon, especially the disc, is condensed in the sky, bright and resplendent.

After arriving in the bedroom, Xie Yu lay on the couch as if in a coma, and no one could shout, but fortunately, the drunk did not make any noise, and fell asleep while lying down.

The maid waited on her to wash and wash, and Xiao Kunning was so tired that he poured himself a glass of water to drink. The people on the couch were muttering again, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.

Xie Yu didn't talk much on weekdays, except for the things he uttered after official business, he was a bit cold-tempered.Xiao Kunning didn't bother to listen to those childish words of 'Xiao Yu is smart, Xiao Kunning is stupid', so she went back to her room to sleep.

A hangover person misses the morning morning and sleeps until noon. When he wakes up, he has a splitting headache, and his staff members come to report and have no energy to listen.

Shen Siyuan was so angry that she didn't sleep all night, she started punching in the morning, and after a whole morning of beating, Xiao Kunning asked Xiao Kunning to take her to a restaurant and tea shop to listen to people's livelihood.

In the tea shop, there were people talking, and the waiters greeted each other back and forth. There were also a lot of guests, most of the tables were filled, and the old and the young chose to sit down.

Xiao Kunning ordered some snacks and ordered a pot of good tea, Shen Siyuan just sat quietly.

The guests were all talking about the corruption case, and there were just a few words, Shen Siyuan was bored and asked about Xiao Kunning's life experience: "I heard that you grew up in Jiangnan?"

Xiao Kunning peeled melon seeds, listened to the conversation of the guests at the next table, and replied casually: "My adoptive mother is the second owner of the Zhao family in Jiangnan."

"I know, Zhao Xiran, a rare and rare woman. The Zhao family also has business in the border. I have met her twice, and I can tell at a glance that she has serious thoughts. Why don't you go into business?" Shen Siyuan took a sip of tea.

But Xiao Kunning said: "I came to Chang'an when I was 13 years old. She didn't teach me these things. At first I didn't understand, but later I realized that she didn't teach me because I am not from the Zhao family. After all, I will leave the Zhao family one day. How to think about things."

"Your thinking is very clean. Although Zhao Xiran is a merchant with far-reaching knowledge, without her, the Zhao family would not be where it is today. It's a pity that you misjudged the person." Shen Siyuan said regretfully. Nor will it be turbulent.

There are more and more guests in the tea shop, the old and the young see that it is not early, so they go to the restaurant to listen to the story.

The biggest issue in recent days is the corruption case of the Yan family. It was always said that the Yan family was to blame and the emperor was benevolent. After hearing this, Xiao Kunning felt wrong, and asked Shen Siyuan, "Why do you say the emperor is benevolent?"

Shen Siyuan glanced at her: "Xie Yu is so smart, how can I teach you such an idiot. The common people hear it, it's not that the emperor is kind, but someone said it on purpose. Using the saying of marching and fighting is deceiving people's hearts."

Xiao Kunning understood that this was her remaining routine. Xie Yu said that she was stupid, and there were people playing tricks that she didn't play.

After humming twice, the waiter came to serve the food, and Shen Siyuan drank a jug of wine by himself.

After dinner, the two of them walked along the street all afternoon and heard different opinions. Shen Siyuan contradicted Xie Yu's words last night, and the folks praised the emperor instead of King Gaoyang.

Shen Siyuan marched and fought for a few days without any problems, but Xiao Kunning was different. After walking for a day, his feet were covered with blisters, his legs hurt again, and he collapsed after returning to the mansion.

Xie Yu hurried into the mansion until dark, followed by Wen Yuke, a dog skin plaster.

After Wen Yuke left the office, he followed Xie Yu and asked to see Xiao Kunning. The two argued a few words like eating every day, and Wen Yuke followed Xie Yu back to the mansion.

After Yu Yin set up dinner, Shen Siyuan came. Seeing the girl in a tall gown, he was taken aback for a moment, and seeing Xie Yu's cold and impatient face, he guessed that this was an unexpected visitor, so he stepped into the hall as usual.

Wen Yujian got up and saluted after the arrival: "I'm off to the official Wenyu to see the prince."

"You know me?" Shen Siyuan was a little surprised.

Xie Yu said impatiently: "She is from my sect."

Shen Siyuan knew that the two were grasshoppers on the same boat, so there was nothing to be afraid of, seeing that there was one person missing in the hall, he told Yu Yin: "Go and invite Xiao Kunning."

"No need." Xie Yu interrupted rudely.

Wen Yuke sneered: "Teacher is destined to be unable to change the result even if he hides it."

Xie Yu raised his eyebrows: "It's my business to hide it. It's better for Mr. Wen to return home earlier."

Shen Siyuan couldn't figure out the situation, just as he was about to speak, he saw Master Wen leaving angrily, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, "Why are people under your sect arguing with you?"

Xie Yu remained silent, Nongqin whispered: "Miss Zheng Xiao."

Shen Siyuan suddenly realized: "Strive for a daughter-in-law."

No one in the room dared to answer, and Wen Yuke, who went out in a fit of anger, went straight back to the mansion after leaving Xie's mansion, followed by people all the way.

The next day, Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple approached her after the imperial court.

The feud between Wen Yuke and Xie Yu was not a matter of yesterday. Since they robbed the Ministry of Punishment, Wen Yuke and Xie Yu have been hostile. people.

He approached Wen Yuke and went out of the palace with her.

Xie Yu was left behind by the emperor, the emperor smiled and did not hide from Xie Yu, "Thanks to Taifu's Jiangnan trip this time."

Xie Yu didn't say anything else, "I share the worries for Your Majesty."

"I heard that Aunt Jingjing was looking for you two days ago?" Zhao Mian went straight to the point, putting aside all the caution and caution in the past, and did not hide his desire when facing Xie Yu.

There were only two people in the hall, Xie Yu stared down at the floor tiles, and replied after deliberation: "I asked the minister to deal with it, but the minister refused."

"You refused?" Zhao Mian couldn't believe it. He slowly walked down from the dragon chair, walked up to Xie Yu, and his eyes fell on her hands with well-defined joints. Can't move my eyes.

Xie Yu replied: "I will definitely be kind to the Yan family when I come to the noble concubine to give birth to the emperor's heir for your majesty."

Zhao Mian's gaze was ruthless, and he quickly took his gaze away from Xie Yu. He strode to the dragon chair and sat down, recovering the emperor's ruthlessness. , if it takes time, it will cause chaos, do you have any ideas?"

"Princess Jingyang is only worried about Yan Xiang. She is the princess of the Zhao family and will not harm His Majesty." Xie Yu replied.

"Really?" Zhao Mian obviously didn't believe the words. Facing Xie Yu, he thought of Yan Ruyu's words: The Tai Tuo has evil intentions, and he is lying to you. Your Majesty has been on guard.

Although Yan Ruyu's words were not credible, Xie Yu's behavior today made him suspicious, but instead he thought that Xie Yu had discovered the corruption case and would not conspire with Yan.Yan Ruyu is from the Yan family, so it is reasonable to be dissatisfied with Xie Yuduo.

Immediately after suppressing his thoughts, Zhao Mian waved her hand to make her retreat.

Before Xie Yu left, he suddenly suggested: "The imperial concubine has been thinking a lot recently, and your majesty should comfort her more."

"I know."

Xie Yu silently withdrew from the main hall and turned back to the Ministry of Punishment.

****

In that room, Pei Yu invited Wen Yuke to talk in the dark, the others didn't care, and went back to the office separately.

Wen Yuke is famous for being upright and stubborn, and no one can make her change her mind. Pei Yu said a few words carefully, and after exchanging pleasantries, he pretended to mention it inadvertently: "I heard that this case is the work of your lord?"

Wen Yuke said: "You can speak directly."

"The case of Prime Minister Yan is still under investigation. Whether the account books given by Sun Zhizhou is true or not, there are still some problems." Pei Yu said cautiously, looked around, and whispered: "At the beginning, the Prime Minister intended to recommend you to His Majesty. It is a pity that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has been truncated by the Taifu, if there is no Taifu, the Ministry of Justice will be under your control."

The words that were suppressed first and then raised were very cautious, but Wen Yu did not waver at all. He glanced at him and left with his feet up.

Pei Yu refused to give up, and followed step by step until he reached the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He happened to meet Xie Yu coming back from the palace, so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

After Wen Yuke greeted Xie Yu, he went directly to the Ministry of Punishment, without any intention of speaking.

Pei Yu also saw it, and was even more delighted in his heart.

In the next few days, Wen and Ke got closer.

After Xiao Kunning lived in the Xie Mansion for half a month, the Xiao Mansion came to pick her up, and Xiao Mingwang agreed to the marriage.

Xiao Kunning, who did not get the marriage certificate, took a deep breath, and there was another wave of ups and downs. Xiao Wenxue didn't know the inside story, so she pulled her to persuade her: "What do you think? If you don't want to, why did you stay in Xie government."

Xiao Kunning was a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell what he was suffering, so he changed his words because he couldn't tell about Zhennan Wang's fake death: "I have an appointment with my husband, and she will return my marriage certificate after staying at the mansion for a month."

"Where is there such an agreement." Xiao Wenxue muttered, thinking of Xie Yu's scheme, he had no choice but to swallow the words, "It's up to you, the corruption case has made people in Chang'an panic, you should also pay attention, don't go out without incident government."

"Understood, you hurry back." Xiao Kunning urged her to go back, Xie Mansion is not a safe place either.

Xiao Wenxue sighed silently. Seeing that her brows and eyes were not worried, it could be seen that her life was not bad, so she felt relieved, and told her, "I'll go back in half a month. Xie Yu has made too many enemies. If the Yan family doesn't get rid of them, we will always It's uneasy."

After the corruption case in his previous life, Zhao Ji was forced by Xie Yu to make an order. Zhao Mian was different, thinking about the overall situation and sticking to the case, which caused everyone's uneasy situation today.

Xie Yu has become less murderous and more human in this life, and he doesn't know how it will end.

The more Xiao Wenxue thought about it, the more something was wrong, and she wanted to take her sister back home together, "A-Ning, let's go back together, we don't want the marriage certificate, and you will come back after the case of the Yan family. To be honest, I am always restless, afraid Something happened to you."

"Don't be afraid, Xie Yu won't let yourself suffer." Xiao Kunning comforted, Xiao Wenxue was delicate, she patted the other man's shoulder: "If something goes wrong, I will go back home, you and mother don't go out today, it's not safe .”

Xie Yu won't be so lonely anymore, the storm is coming, there is always nothing wrong with staying in the mansion.

After Xiao Wenxue tried a few words of persuasion to no avail, she had no choice but to go back to the house by herself.

After she left, Shen Siyuan came and wanted to take her out of the mansion together. The old prince's martial arts are world-class, so he doesn't have to worry about assassins on the way, but after walking for a day, his legs and feet will not be his own.

People have already come to invite them, if they don't go, they won't give face, so she smiled and left the house together.

Walking around all day as usual, and lying down again after returning, Shen Siyuan found King Gaoyang to drink comfortably.

It was already Haishi when Xie Yu came back, and after a hasty dinner, he went to find Xiao Kunning. He had already laid down, and after walking around outside the house, he chose to open the door and enter.

"Xiao Kunning, are you asleep?"

The person on the bed covered his ears, "Xie Xiaoyu, what do you want to do?"

Xie Yu smiled, and lit the candles in the room. Seeing the shadow on the couch, he asked concerned: "I heard that your leg hurts?"

"Don't talk to me, I don't want to say a word." Xiao Kunning turned over.

The lights in the room were on, and Xie Yu approached her and touched her forehead: "If your head doesn't burn, it looks like you're tired. Where did the old prince go?"

"Looked for King Gaoyang to drink." Xiao Kunning was weak, and hadn't seen Xie Yu for a few days. She remembered Xiao Wenxue's worries, and asked Xie Yu about serious matters: "How does Your Majesty deal with the Yan family?"

"It's exhausting." Xie Yu's tone calmed down, and he lifted the quilt to reveal Xiao Kunning's slender legs, her eyes trembled, and she became serious again: "It's better to pinch the legs if they hurt, and the muscles and bones will feel much better when they are relieved."

Before Xiao Kunning could respond, she stretched out her hands to grab those fair ankles.

Xiao Kunning's ears turned red, and when she wanted to refuse, she suddenly felt sore between her legs, and she couldn't help crying out, "It hurts..."

Xie Yu paused: "Hush your voice."

Xiao Kunning covered her mouth and did not speak. She lay on the couch and let Xie Yu pinch and press. Those cold hands jumped on her skin, causing waves of numbness. After getting used to the force, she felt relieved. Relaxed.

Give it to Xie Yu, and let her rub it.

Xie Yu's strength was just right, rubbing along the acupuncture points, from shallow to deep.

Xiao Kunning didn't remember how she fell asleep in the end. After walking for a whole day, she slept soundly in her sleep, pursing her cherry lips, hugging the thin blanket, and unconsciously showing a silly look.

When she fell asleep, Xie Yu's arms were also sore, and he sat on the edge of the couch to rest, his eyes fixed on Xiao Kunning's sleeping face, he touched the corner of her lips, and kissed her almost instantly.

The shallow kiss condensed all her strength.

After the sleeping person groaned, he frowned and fell asleep without causing any discomfort.

Xie Yu felt dissatisfied, and stopped his hand on her chin, refusing to withdraw it for a long time.

For a moment, there was only the sound of Xiao Kunning's breathing in the room, and it was silent and indifferent. Xie Yu looked at her deeply, concentrating on her, forgetting to breathe and where he was.

A ray of bright candlelight fell on Xiao Kunning's white and clean sleeping face, adding a layer of hazy light, ethereal like floating clouds, not so real.

Xie Yu had been working for a long time, but he felt reluctant to leave when he should have left. The light fragrance from the tip of his nose was extremely alluring, much better than the fragrance of books and ink.

In the end, she chose to lie down with a cheeky face, and leaned against the sleeping person. The scent was like hypnotic incense, and she fell asleep without knowing it.

Before Dongfang showed his true self, Yu Yin came to invite someone.

After Xie Yu woke up, he stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms. Xiao Kunning fell into a deep sleep and didn't even realize that he was being taken advantage of by others.

*****

During today's court meeting, Xie Yu was in a particularly good mood, and would say a few nice words when she heard someone arguing, and the courtiers who were close could sometimes see the corners of her curved lips.

Tai Tu, is this a happy event?

There has been no major incident recently, the corruption incident has not been dealt with, and the courtiers dare not speak freely.

After going down, Xie Yu walked out of the hall calmly, followed by Wen Yuke, and seeing the smile on her lips, she felt that something was wrong.

After so many years in the same court, when did I see Xie Yu smiling so happily?

"Teacher's smile is unusual." She followed Xie Yu's pace and said after catching up.

Xie Yu glanced at her from the corner of his eye, with a smile on his brow: "Master Wen, guess what?"

Wen Yu is not a chatterbox, nor does he have a habit of guessing people's thoughts. What Xie Yu said must have something to do with Xiao Kunning, so there is no need to guess, she snorted coldly, passed Xie Yu and strode away.

Pei Yu and a group of courtiers could see clearly that the superiors and subordinates of the Ministry of Punishment were at odds, and Pei Yu took the opportunity to catch up.

Xie Yu slowed down, trampled an ant to death with one foot, and walked slowly behind.

Xiao Mingwang pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of her, straight to the point: "When will the Tai Tuo let the little girl go back to the mansion?"

"I didn't imprison her, but Mrs. Xiao didn't let her go back home." Xie Yu said with a leisurely smile.

Xiao Mingwang was holding back his anger, and he didn't dare to say anything serious to Xie Yu. He never thought that Xie Yu, who was so beautiful and beautiful, would cheat on the marriage. Seeing his unsullied posture, he almost felt blind up.
