The general said she doesn't take a wife

A plaque with the words "Yanyulou" hung in front of the elegant small building. Lin Aoxue lingered on the plaque for a long time, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

There is a notice board in front of the building, and a couplet is pasted on the board. The couplet only has the upper part, and it seems that it is waiting for someone to fill the lower part.Many literati and scholars gathered together to exchange the artistic conception of the couplets, and tried their best to answer the couplets.

Perhaps Lin Aoxue had stood outside the door for too long, the servant in front of the building noticed her, the servant frowned, and walked up to Lin Aoxue, although there was disgust in his eyes, it did not show on his face, he cupped his fists at Lin Aoxue, politely said:

"My guest, if you want to enter the Yanyu Building, please go out to the couplet in front of the building. If the guest is just passing by, please don't stay here."

Lin Aoxue was dressed in the most ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and the guests who came and went to and from the Yanyu Building were all rich and expensive, and even this young servant was wearing richer clothes than Lin Aoxue. Standing here, she was really different from the entire Yanyu Building The atmosphere is out of place.

The servant's attitude was already polite enough, Lin Aoxue had no reason to get angry, she glanced at the upper couplet on the notice, and knew that she was indeed wronged, she had studied martial arts for ten years, she had exhausted her energy, and her poetry and songs were already unfamiliar. Then he clasped his fists and apologized, then turned around and left.

She went back to the inn and asked the waiter in the inn about the small building facing the street. The waiter knew that she was from out of town, so he told her that the small building facing the street was called Yanyu Building, backed by powerful forces in Beijing, and that this building was the capital of Beijing. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the elegant place where the nobles enjoy poetry and listen to music.

To enter the Misty Rain Building, officials below the fifth rank must either hold an invitation letter with a special seal, or they must be talented and match the couplet posted before leaving the door.

Lin Aoxue heard that there were such regulations in Yanyulou, and while she was amazed, she couldn't help but connect the Yanyulou in the north with the Yanyulou in the capital, but the Yanyulou in the north was a brothel, while the Yanyulou in the capital, But it is much more elegant.

As far as she knew, there was no such small building in the capital ten years ago.

Maybe, it's just the same name.

Even though she had come to such a conclusion in her heart, Lin Aoxue still couldn't help recalling the short piece of piano music she heard just now, and always felt familiar.But she couldn't enter the Misty Rain Building to investigate, so she could only keep this matter in her mind for the time being, and didn't think about it too much.

Lin Aoxue sat in the hall of the inn for a while, ordered a jug of warm wine, and only drank two cups before Guo Wencheng came back from the outside.He went back to Lao Guo's house today, and without any accidents, he was turned away, disheartened, and very depressed.

Seeing Lin Aoxue drinking in the hall, he also went over and had two small drinks.

While the two were drinking and chatting, Lin Aoxue casually mentioned the Yanyu Building. She said that she just went out for a stroll and saw a small building with the same name as the Yanyu Building in the north, but the style was quite different.

Guo Wencheng laughed that she just looked rigid, but in fact she still understands Fengyue quite well.Seeing that Guo Wencheng didn't know much about it, Lin Aoxue didn't ask further questions.

The next day the emperor ordered down, and Xuan Guo Wencheng and Lin Aoxue entered the palace.Their names were recorded by the guards guarding the city gates when they entered the city. Earlier, the emperor had issued an order that if they saw generals from the north, they should report them in time. Therefore, the emperor already knew the reason for Guo Wencheng's return to the capital. matter.

Guo Wencheng put on the general's uniform, Lin Aoxue changed into the military uniform, and the two came to the palace under the leadership of the herald. The palace was built in a very spacious and imposing manner. There are three gates from the outside to the inside of the palace. Each gate needs to be verified. Show your ID token.

Lin Aoxue is a small family, so she doesn't have a token in her hand, if there is no herald to lead the way, she can't even enter the outermost palace gate of the palace.

Under the leadership of the herald, they went to the Xuande Hall where the emperor went to court, handed in their weapons outside the gate of the main hall, and then entered the hall to meet the current emperor.

There are many ministers standing side by side on both sides of the court hall, all wearing court clothes. From the front of the jade steps to the entrance of the main hall, the ranks of the officials are decreasing. high and low.

There are many faces in the hall that Lin Aoxue knows. Some of them were brothers and sisters with her father before the accident in her family, but after the accident in their family, these people hid faster one by one. Skim it clean.

No one stood up to say a word for her father.

It was also at that time that Lin Aoxue understood that between people, there are mostly exchanges of interests, and sincere feedback is really rare.

After entering the main hall, Lin Aoxue kept her head down. With her status, she only had to follow behind Guo Wencheng, respectfully, and not show any disrespect.When I just entered the palace, I took a cursory glance, and I had a general impression of the Ninth Five-Year Son of Heaven on the steps in my mind.

The emperor saw Guo Wencheng enter the hall, followed by a soldier, but the mask on the soldier's face caught his attention, so after Guo Wencheng and Lin Aoxue knelt down and bowed their heads, and shouted long live three times, the emperor didn't ask them to get up, but road:

"Why does the child in the hall hide his face?"

Even in the presence of the emperor, Lin Aoxue did not appear panicked in this court hall. Hearing the emperor's words, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and she replied:

"My minister's face is flawed, and the burn marks are ugly. I'm afraid I'll offend His Majesty."

Lin Aoxue is from a thousand households, although she is humble, she is also a courtier of Beichen.

The emperor said it was okay and asked her to take off the mask.

There was no wavering in Lin Aoxue's eyes. The emperor was so curious that she had to obey. Now that she was guaranteed the innocence of the emperor, she had no scruples and lifted half of the mask on the right side of her face in public.

As soon as the mask was removed, all the courtiers were panicked and retreated subconsciously. What's more, they even let out a sound of exclamation.Only the head of the palace, the prime minister, the clan prince Bei Chenhe, and the Imperial Army Dutong did not change their faces.

The emperor himself was taken aback, but he had something to say before he could break his word, so he barely kept his composure. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he raised his hand and ordered Lin Aoxue to put on the mask again. Then he said "flat body" and turned his gaze to Guo Wencheng , to signal him to report the situation at the border.

Before coming to the Xuande Hall, Guo Wencheng had already thought over and over in his mind what he should say in front of the emperor. He did not hesitate and told all about the situation of the border wars in recent years, including some representative figures before Lin Aoxue joined the army. battle.

At the end, Guo Wencheng also emphatically mentioned Lin Aoxue's name, saying:

"Your Majesty, under the tutelage of Master Hongming, Lin Qianhu's martial arts made the barbarians frightened. He joined the army after the autumn harvest last year. In just one year, he has made a lot of military exploits. He even played a role in the Poyan battle a month ago. extremely crucial role."

Guo Wencheng briefly described Lin Aoxue's heroic deeds at the border. The emperor was very pleased to hear that Lin Aoxue had performed bravely in the battle to retake Poyan.

However, because Lin Aoxue's service in the army was still young, and the promotion and promotion of the ranks in the army, except for the official positions above the fourth-rank general level, which had to be submitted to the capital in the form of documents, all were determined by the general Bei Chenlong, so the emperor only rewarded Lin Aoxue with some gold, silver and jewelry , and then words of encouragement.

Guo Wencheng also received a reward. The emperor raised his salary, made him a general of the fourth rank, and asked him and Lin Aoxue to stay in Beijing for the time being, and return to the north when the weather became warmer next spring.

In order to promote his own goodness, the emperor did not criticize the recent defeat at Poyan and the plundering by the barbarians, but he also said that the northern border has suffered heavy losses in recent years, and it is not easy to train new soldiers, so he asked the third prince, Bei Chenyu, to lead the five Thousands of elite soldiers went to the northern border to support, and at the same time, they also experienced some experience.

Hearing the emperor's words, Guo Wencheng frowned imperceptibly, but he did not express his opinion, but thanked the emperor together with Lin Aoxue.

The emperor looked tired, and after arranging the affairs of the border, he waved his hand to let the eunuch announce his retreat. All the ministers kowtowed and sent the emperor away from the Xuande Hall, and then they left slowly and orderly.

After leaving the Xuande Palace, Guo Wencheng called Lin Aoxue to stop, telling her that he would go home again and not go with Lin Aoxue, so after Guo Wencheng and Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, they split into two groups, and Lin Aoxue sent Guo Wencheng away, planning to Go straight back to the inn.

"Lin Qianhu, please stay."

After Lin Aoxue took two steps, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind her, calling her back. Lin Aoxue turned around and looked, her eyes suddenly froze. The next moment, her breath naturally relaxed again, and a look of coldness appeared on her face. With a smile, he bowed to the visitor:

"Lin Aoxue has met your lord."

Clan Prince Bei Chenhe raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"Can Lin Qianhu recognize this king?"

Lin Aoxue also laughed:

"To be honest, I don't know the prince, but since His Highness calls himself the king, I know him."

Bei Chenhe found it interesting. He knew that Lin Aoxue's understanding of words was not only about his official position, but also his identity, so he asked:

"How do you know? The person in the palace who calls himself a king is not the only one."

Lin Aoxue did not hide anything, and answered truthfully:

"Returning to the prince, the prince lives in front of the palace to the right of the prime minister, and he is No. 1 in front of his majesty. Since I entered Beijing yesterday, I have heard a lot. It is said that your majesty is very close and close to the clan's palace, so I have this guess. The prince should be the prince of the clan's palace."

Bei Chenhe laughed out loud when he heard the words, he said it was interesting, he didn't put on airs at all, he seemed approachable.He patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder and praised:

"Lin Qianhu is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has a meticulous heart, which is formidable for future generations, and formidable for future generations!"

At the end, he changed his voice and asked Lin Aoxue with a smile:

"I don't know if Lin Qianhu is free this time, but this king wants to do something for a while, so I invite Lin Qianhu to drink tea."

Lin Aoxue rescued Bei Chenling yesterday. Bei Chenling told him about Lin Qianhu. He thought carefully about Qianhu in Beijing. When he saw Lin Aoxue, he recalled what Bei Chenling said about the masked person, and then he was sure that it was Lin Aoxue who rescued Bei Chenling yesterday.

Lin Aoxue clasped her fists and bowed, with a respectful expression:

"The prince invited me, no matter what, I'm free."

As soon as this remark came out, Bei Chenhe smiled heartily again, Daolin Aoxue took his temper and got along very happily.Bei Chenhe took Lin Aoxue out of the palace, Lin Aoxue was always half a body behind Bei Chenhe to show respect.

Bei Chenhe was quite satisfied with Lin Aoxue's obedience, and secretly nodded in his heart.

The two walked together one after the other, and by coincidence, the teahouse that Bei Chenhe chose was actually the Yanyulou where Lin Aoxue stayed for a long time last night before being chased away by the servants.

Today the gatekeeper happened to be the same person as last night. Although Lin Aoxue had changed into another outfit, the mask on his face was very eye-catching. When he saw Lin Aoxue actually following Bei Chenhe, his face turned green with fright.

Lin Aoxue is not someone who cares about these small things, she doesn't feel happy at all when she is in Beichenhe's light, but she won't show the emotions in her heart on her face, although she looks calm at the moment, in fact, she had From the moment she saw Bei Chenhe in the Xuande Palace, the hatred in her heart was burning.

She followed Bei Chenhe into the Yanyu Building, and the person in charge of the building greeted him personally, and led Bei Chenhe to the private room with the widest view and the best environment in the building.The room was clean and spotless, and when the two of them were seated, the brewed tea was served soon.

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, it's no wonder that people in the world admire wealth and power, and wealth and power are balanced, and power is more exciting.With great power in hand and honorable status, one can act recklessly.

Even though she hated Bei Chenhe in her heart, she had to admire Bei Chenhe's methods. He looked gentle and elegant, like a Confucian scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, but in fact, behind those seemingly clean hands, there was already a mountain of dead bodies. Sea of ​​blood, countless karmic debts.

After the two sat down, Bei Chenhe asked about the affairs of Lin Aoxue's military camp. They were all trivial and insignificant, and his tone of speech was not condescending. easy to get close to.

But Lin Aoxue knew that all of this was just an illusion. Bei Chenhe was very good at disguising and strategizing. Otherwise, he would not have laughed and stabbed his so-called best friend in the back with a fatal knife, and he would have killed the Great General Zhen Guo and his collaborators. The charge of treason.

Lin Aoxue's heart is like a bright mirror, and just as she thought, Bei Chenhe invited Lin Aoxue to drink tea together, of course not only because Lin Aoxue saved Bei Chenling, it was just a life-saving grace, not worthy of his courtesy.

What's more important is that Lin Aoxue's reputation has risen at the border, and he was promoted to a thousand households within one year of joining the army. His eyeliner at the northern border has also mentioned Lin Aoxue's name emphatically to him, thinking that Lin Aoxue has a bright future and can be used in many ways. Although her status is humble at this time, she has infinite possibilities in the future.

Therefore, Bei Chenhe intentionally favored Lin Aoxue and win her over when she was still in her prime, her vision of seeing people was extremely venomous.

During the dinner, Lin Aoxue and Beichen congratulated you and congratulated each other. On the surface, they talked very happily.

Suddenly, the sound of clank and piano sounded again in the quiet small building. The tune was elegant and refreshing.

This piano sound was composed by the same person as what Lin Aoxue heard last night, and hearing it again this time, she was even more sure that she had heard similar piano music before.

Lin Aoxue pondered carefully for a while, then a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she suddenly recalled that it was one of the few songs played by Yunyan when she and Bei Chenji went to the Yanyu Tower in Xingbei Pass to listen to the music.

Lin Aoxue's heart skipped a beat. It was also the Misty Rain Building. Could it be possible that the person who was playing the piano outside at this moment was Yunyan?

She squeezed the teacup in her hand tightly, but she didn't leave the table because of the suspicion in her heart. At this time, she had more important things than confirming the identity of Qin Nu.

The song outside the house ended, and there was no second song played, Lin Aoxue was a little bit disappointed, but when Bei Chenhe asked her with a smile if she had any arrangements for the New Year, Lin Aoxue put down the tea bowl in her hand, and replied calmly:

"No."

The smile on Bei Chenhe's face deepened, and he clapped his hands and said:

"That's the case. On New Year's Eve, the king wants to set up a stage in the mansion. Brother Lin, would you like to watch it?"

New Year's Eve is the most important day of the year. There are palace banquets in the palace, and there will be government banquets in the residences of the ministers.In order not to spoil the joyful atmosphere of family reunion among the courtiers, the king usually set the palace banquet at noon.

Guo Wencheng is a general-level military officer, and this time when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, the emperor raised his official position again, so he can participate in the palace banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve this year.But Lin Aoxue is just a small family, so naturally she is not qualified to go.

Bei Chenhe invited her to attend the banquet at the clan's prince's mansion, which was already an obvious way to win over her. Of course, Lin Aoxue understood what Bei Chenhe meant.

Bei Chenhe has great power in the capital, with one person under ten thousand, if she doesn't go, she just doesn't know how to flatter her, if she makes Bei Chenhe feel that she is useless and disobedient, then she may face being silently silenced at any time. risk of obliteration.

Bei Chenhe needs a chess piece, although this chess piece does not necessarily have to be Lin Aoxue, but he will never allow a potential chess piece to fall into the hands of others, so if Lin Aoxue refuses to listen to him, he does not need to keep Lin Aoxue life.

With Bei Chenhe's status in Beijing, he has no scruples, and he doesn't need to cover up.What's more, Lin Aoxue is just a small thousand household, even if the emperor knew that Beichenhe invited Lin Aoxue, he would not be too fussy.

Lin Aoxue knew this well, so she didn't intend to refuse. She stood up and bowed deeply to Beichen, describing her sincerity:

"Thanks to the love of the prince, I will visit you on time."

Bei Chenhe was very satisfied with Lin Aoxue's sense of humor, and chatted with him for a few more words, saying that there are still important matters in the mansion, so let's go first.Lin Aoxue sent Bei Chenhe away, and went back upstairs. This time, the servant did not block her way, nor did she ask her for invitations or badges.

Lin Aoxue came to the second floor and found the piano platform, but the building was empty, and she still couldn't see the person who played the piano before.

She turned around and asked the servant standing beside her:

"Who played the piano here before?"

This young man brought tea to the private room just now, and saw Lin Aoxue discussing with Bei Chenhe. Although Lin Aoxue was still wearing ordinary military uniform, he didn't dare to offend him, so he replied respectfully:

"The girl who played the piano just now came here last month, her name is Yunyan."

Lin Aoxue was shocked, and a look of astonishment flashed across her face for a moment, but soon, she suppressed the shock, nodded expressionlessly, and asked if Yunyan would come today, boy Answering no, she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left the Misty Rain Building.

Coming out of the Yanyu Building, Lin Aoxue's mood was very complicated. She never thought that the piano music she heard by chance was really written by Yunyan.If she still doesn't understand that there is an extremely powerful force behind Yunyan at this time, then she is a complete fool.

When Yunyan left the Northern Territory, she once told Lin Aoxue that she needed to go back to Beijing because the New Year was approaching. At that time, Lin Aoxue had guessed about Yunyan's identity.

When she was in the northern border, Yunyan was too special among the many Qin girls. No brothel girl could stand out like her. She was calm and free in the wind and dust. No one dares to pursue it.

Now that she has returned to the capital, she can even enter the Yanyu Building in the middle of the capital. It can be seen that behind Yunyan, there is a powerful person who can cover the sky with one hand.

If this was the case, Lin Aoxue would have figured it out when Yunyan told her that she was sent to Yanyu Building by her biological father.At the same time, she also understands why Yunyan is so versatile.

The Yanyu Tower in the capital is really related to the Yanyu Tower in the north, Lin Aoxue guessed in her heart, maybe Yunyan's father sent his own daughter to the powerful in order to curry favor with the powerful in the capital, and let them call her dispatch.

Such behavior is really a great harm to Yunyan.

Even though Yunyan gained the appreciation of the people behind her and gained a certain status through her own efforts, her reputation was completely damaged.She was pushed into this abyss by her closest relatives. Compared with Lin Aoxue, she is more unfortunate.

Come to think of it, the reason why she went to the Northern Territory, Lin Aoxue also had some calculations in her heart. In a dusty place like a brothel, it is easiest to find out the news. She is the eyes and ears of the people behind her, guarding a bitter cold place like the Northern Territory It is difficult to get out of wasting youth for no reason.

It is no wonder that in Yunyan's peaceful eyes, there is often loneliness and sadness hidden, but she is always silent, not talking or sharing her thoughts with others.Even Lin Aoxue could not hear a word of resentment from her mouth.

Lin Aoxue couldn't figure it out at first, but now she sees clearly.While she was sighing in her heart, she was also extremely heartbroken, feeling and feeling like a fallen person in the world.

What made her feel distressed the most was that Yun Yan treated her with an extremely gentle attitude even though she was in such pain, and at the same time, saved her.

She wanted to see Yunyan, so she felt very urgent, so for the next two days, Lin Aoxue came to Yanyu Building every day, but she never had the chance to see him. It was not until she asked the servant in front of the building that she heard that Yunyan had been there in the past few days With important matters in hand, it is estimated that they will not come a few years ago.

Lin Aoxue was extremely frustrated, so she had to go back to the inn dejectedly, and waited until after the New Year's Eve to see if she had a chance to meet Yun Yan.

Guo Wencheng returned to the old Guo's house this time and knelt outside the gate for two hours before he finally managed to get his father's forgiveness and let him re-enter the house.

Although his family complained that he would return to the northern border after the next year, they no longer restricted his movements. The old father sighed and told him to be more careful at the border in the future. When fighting, the most important thing is to take care of himself .

Guo Wencheng responded, and seeing his old father say a few words, his eyes turned red. He couldn't restrain the turmoil in his heart, and his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Beijing has a strong middle-aged atmosphere. Someone lit firecrackers on the street, amidst the crackling and crackling, the sound of laughter, singing and dancing was vivid.After Guo Wencheng took care of the house, he came to the inn again and invited Lin Aoxue to the old Guo's house for the New Year.

Although Lin Aoxue was moved by this, she had made arrangements in advance, so she had no choice but to decline Guo Wencheng's invitation. She didn't say clearly that she was going to the clan prince's mansion, but said that there were arrangements on New Year's Eve, and Guo Wencheng didn't ask, so she let her Continue to stay at the inn.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Aoxue was invited to go to the clan prince's mansion at night. The butler waited at the door ahead of time, and when he saw Lin Aoxue coming, he led her in.

The banquet in the mansion has been set up, besides Lin Aoxue, Bei Chenhe also hosted some high-ranking officials with prominent positions in Beijing.What surprised Lin Aoxue was that Princess Bei Chenling was also sitting alone in the banquet, and there was no male guest beside her.

Seeing Lin Aoxue approaching, Bei Chenling showed a faint smile on her face, and said to her:

"Lin Qianhu, please stay safe."

Lin Aoxue pretended to be surprised, opened her mouth slightly, was stunned for a moment, then bent down and bowed:

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the princess was in the carriage that day. I have offended you a lot before, and I hope the princess is magnanimous."

A look of disappointment flashed in Bei Chenling's eyes, she felt that Lin Aoxue was no different from the ordinary officials who fawned over the prince's palace.She put away the smile on her face, described it as indifferent, and stopped talking to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue didn't linger on her too much, Bei Chenhe motioned for her to take a seat, and clapped her hands for the servants in the mansion to call the troupe he had prepared earlier.

The stage has been set up in the courtyard, and the sound of ding ding dong dong rang, and the actors in colorful costumes began to perform. Watching together, the atmosphere in the palace is quite lively.

During the dinner, Bei Chenhe started chatting with the officials again, while Lin Aoxue stayed quietly in the corner. Bei Chenhe invited her here, it was already a great honor for her, and he didn't need to take care of her all the time.When a play was coming to an end, a servant came to report and said:

"My lord, Miss Yunyan is here."

Lin Aoxue's expression was startled, and she quickly covered up her astonishment, but Bei Chenhe said with a smile:

"Okay, after this scene is over, I will ask Miss Yunyan to play two pieces of music. I haven't heard Miss Yunyan's piano music for a long time."

Lin Aoxue sat silently, poured a glass of sake, and played with the glass in her hands.When Bei Chenling raised her head inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye, but seeing Lin Aoxue's expression was calm and not keen on chatting with the guests, she became a little suspicious again.

Not long after, a play ended and the actors left the stage in an orderly manner. After a long absence, Lin Aoxue finally saw Yunyan again.

But this time, Yun Yan was wearing a long red dress and light makeup. In her beautiful description, there was also an elegant charm of a mature woman. Her gestures and gestures were alluring and stunning.

When she didn't wear makeup, she was outstanding, but now Yun Yan, who is deliberately dressed up, is even more stunning.

She was holding a fine guqin in her arms, her long skirt brushed the floor, and she walked up to the piano stage. Many high-ranking officials in the audience held their breaths involuntarily. There will be quite a few unconscious gaffes.

Lin Aoxue was sitting in the corner, looking at the stage from a distance, she couldn't help but be amazed by Yunyan's brand-new appearance, her black pupils reflected the appearance of Yunyan's red dress fluttering, and the red light smudged, making Lin Aoxue momentarily Absent.

After a while, Lin Aoxue withdrew her gaze, settled her mind, and lowered her gaze, not daring to look any further.She took a sip of the wine in her glass, and couldn't help sighing inwardly that Yunyan was truly magnificent, a rare and graceful posture in the world.

The sound of the piano sounded, as usual, amazing.

An actor volunteered to dance his sword with the sound of the qin, and Bei Chenhe readily agreed. The actor held the sword and danced in the courtyard.

All the guests were intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and also immersed in the graceful posture of the sword dancer.

The opera singer paced in front of the guests, getting closer to the guest seats. Suddenly, the sword in her hand trembled, breaking the rhythm of the melody, and she also took a step forward, turning into a gust of wind, stabbing the sword in her hand towards Bei Chenhe !

When the incident happened suddenly, all the guests were in shock and couldn't recover, and the guards in the palace were beyond their reach. Seeing that the sword tip was about to pierce Bei Chenhe's chest, suddenly a shadow shot over with a whoosh, precisely Hit the actor on the wrist.

The opera singer was in pain, the sword in her hand trembled and fell, and what stuck in her wrist and protruded through the bone was actually a bamboo chopstick.

But she didn't give up, and with the other hand, she quickly pulled out the hairpin on her head, her eyes were scarlet and filled with hatred, and she swung the hairpin down towards Bei Chenhe's throat with all her strength, threatening to take Bei Chenhe's life.

Bei Chenhe didn't know martial arts, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only watch helplessly as the sharp hairpin got closer and closer to his own.

At this time, Lin Aoxue took advantage of the short time when the chopsticks flew out and broke the actor's move, and she was already in front of her. She grabbed Bei Chenhe's shoulder, dragged him back quickly, and at the same time stretched out her hand, and intercepted the actor's blow.

With a soft puff sound, the hairpin pierced through Lin Aoxue's palm, and the blood was smeared, but she did not change her expression. She used this to grab the actor's wrist, and broke it hard, only to hear a crisp crackling sound, the actor's hand bones cracked, and she Shrieking, the pain was heart-piercing.

Lin Aoxue shot like lightning, sealing Xizi's acupoints. At this time, the guards of the palace also rushed to catch Xizi backhand, so as not to hurt anyone again.

But before Bei Chenhe could speak to be interrogated, the opera singer crushed the poison sac hidden in his teeth, rolled his eyes, died cleanly, and took away the reason for her violence.

The chief guard looked panic-stricken, knelt down and confessed:

"The escort came late, and please punish the prince!"

Although Bei Chenhe was a little frightened, he was the one standing at the top of the power. He quickly adjusted his posture, suppressed his panic, waved his hand to signal the guards to take the body down first, and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

At the end, he turned his head to look at Lin Aoxue, saw that her right palm was still tied with a hairpin, dripping with blood, and said loudly:

"Ask the doctor to see Lin Qianhu's wound!"

The servants in the mansion rushed to find the doctor, but the guests in the hall were still in shock. Bei Chenhe glanced at the guests present, with a helpless look on his face, and said:

"There have been changes in the mansion today, which surprised everyone, and it is my fault for not being able to enjoy myself to the fullest."

Bei Chenhe issued the order to evict the guests, and all the ministers who dared to say that Bei Chenhe was wrong, all retreated with winks.

On the qin platform in the courtyard, Yunyan had retreated beside the qin and knelt down. Her lowered eyes contained a touch of extremely complicated colors, including shock, panic, surprise and surprise.

In any case, she never thought that she would see Lin Aoxue in the capital, and she never thought that it would be at the banquet in the Prince's Mansion.

In addition to the series of surprises, there was also a trace of resentment and helplessness in her heart. Just now, she saw Lin Aoxue was injured.

This person is always like this, she doesn't care about her own body, she always abandons herself to save others, it's too stupid and too kind.

The palace has its own resident doctor, and the old doctor came very quickly. He skillfully pulled out the hairpin that pierced Lin Aoxue's flesh, then carefully bandaged the wound, told Lin Aoxue not to touch the wound with water, and then withdrew. .

After the doctor left, Bei Chen congratulated Lin Aoxue and asked Lin Aoxue if she could stay in the palace today because her hand was injured. Lin Aoxue replied with a smile on her face:

"I'm hurting my hand, but it's not my legs that are bad, so I won't bother the prince anymore, it's just..."

Lin Aoxue half-spoken, stopped talking.

"Just what?"

Bei Chenhe motioned for her to finish speaking.

Lin Aoxue glanced sideways at Yunyan who was still lying on the ground on the piano stage, her heart trembled, and she continued:

"It's just that Miss Yunyan's good piano piece was interrupted for no reason. I still want to hear Miss Yunyan finish playing this piece."

Bei Chenhe obviously didn't expect Lin Aoxue to make such a request, he was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said:

"Unexpectedly, Brother Lin is still a person who knows the rhythm. Okay, let's ask Miss Yunyan to replay the song just now."

Yun Yan led the order to get up, and sat back in front of the piano again. She stroked the body of the piano, but subconsciously glanced at Lin Aoxue from the corner of her eye, and saw that although the latter tilted his head, his gaze was flowing from the corner of his eye, meeting Yun Yan's gaze in the air, And away in an instant, if inadvertently.

The corners of Yunyan's lips curled up gently, making her more glamorous and charming.

The sound of the piano sounded again, and Yunyan's piano skills were not affected by the sudden episode just now, and she was still fascinated.

From the moment when Lin Aoxue bravely attacked Bei Chenhe when the actor made a sudden move to kill Bei Chenhe, Bei Chenling was a little distracted.

All the officials retreated, only Bei Chenling and a group of guards were left in the arena. She first asked Bei Chenhe if he was injured, and then she set her eyes on Lin Aoxue.As the distance got closer, she could clearly see the outline of Lin Aoxue's side face, and felt that this cold face was somewhat similar to that of an old friend.

There was deep thought in her eyes, and she suddenly spoke to Lin Aoxue:

"I don't know why Lin Qianhu enlisted in the army? With Qianhu's skill, if he takes part in the martial arts examination in Beijing, the number one martial arts scholar must be in Qianhu's pocket."

Lin Aoxue was very surprised that Bei Chenling took the initiative to talk to her, she turned her gaze away from the piano platform, and turned to look at Bei Chenling.

Compared with more than ten years ago, the latter's appearance has changed greatly. She has faded away from her youthfulness, showing a bit of maturity, and has the grace of being in a high position all the year round. It is far from what ordinary girls can compare with. of.

Lin Aoxue suppressed the rage and hatred in her heart, and did not show any resentment, she did not hide it, and listed all the things written in her file, saying that she lived in Queyang, and later the barbarians slaughtered the village, she was lucky He survived, but his face was burned by the fire.

Later, she mentioned that she went to Beijing to find relatives, but her distant relative died of illness, and her family also moved away, and her whereabouts were unknown.

"I once begged on the streets of the capital for three years, and almost died in the busy city in the west. Later, I met Master Hongming by chance, and then went to the temple to practice with the master."

Even if she didn't tell these things, Bei Chenhe would definitely send someone to investigate, and there was no need for her to hide anything.

Speaking of this, Bei Chenling asked her if she had practiced all her martial arts at that time, and Lin Aoxue said "Yes" expressionlessly.

After hearing Lin Aoxue's words, Bei Chenling's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. She knew that she was not the same person, but she couldn't restrain herself from having indescribable expectations for all similar people and things. In the end, she would definitely reap the rewards again and again. disappointment.

She didn't ask Lin Aoxue any more, she just sat alone with her hands on the table, staring at the flowers and plants in the yard in a daze.

The sound of the piano stopped at some point, Yunyan got up to leave, but Bei Chenhe didn't want to stay, and asked his family to send Yunyan out.After Yunyan left, Lin Aoxue did not stay in the palace for too long, she withdrew from the palace on the grounds that it was getting late.

After leaving the Clan Prince's Mansion, Lin Aoxue took a look around outside the mansion first, but she didn't see Yun Yan, she felt a little bit lost, but soon, she cheered up again, and walked towards the Yanyu Building at a very fast pace.

When she came to the Yanyu Tower, she walked over in three steps in two, and asked the little servant if Miss Yunyan was there.

The servant recognized her and did not dare to chase her away as usual, but instead answered Lin Aoxue's question respectfully:

"Miss Yunyan went to the Prince's Mansion today, so she probably won't come back here."

Lin Aoxue didn't expect such a result. Could it be that she couldn't see Yunyan today?

The loss in her heart gradually deepened, Lin Aoxue walked down the steps in front of the Yanyu Building, her brows were tightly furrowed, even though her face was still stern, she couldn't hide the regret and sadness in her eyes.

She was walking aimlessly on the street. It was New Year's Eve, and it was a new year after the midnight.There were very few people on the street, and every household closed their doors and gathered together to watch the New Year. Although they were still decorated with lanterns and festoons, they seemed even more deserted.

Central Beijing is not as cold as the north, but the temperature is still very low at night, and the breath is white hot air.Lin Aoxue paced back and forth on the street in front of the Yanyu Building, she didn't dare to walk too far, thinking maybe she walked too fast and missed it instead.

So she planned to wait here for a while, if she really didn't see Yunyan until midnight, then it could only be said that maybe it was not enough fate.

She waited for a long time, until the night was getting darker, and everything seemed to be shrouded in darkness. When the wait was endless, there was no end, and finally a soft and gentle female voice sounded behind her:

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, the young master doesn't go back to the mansion to rest, but who are you waiting for?"

Lin Aoxue straightened her back, as if she was frozen, she was silent for a while, and then slowly turned around, her lips were tightly pressed, her face was solemn, but the two hands behind her back were twisted together, pulling five fingers together Both changed color:

"I'm waiting for you."

She's rare, quite frankly.
