After two peaceful days, the palace issued an imperial edict.

Liu Xi is old and his hair is all white, but his spirit is still very good.When seeing Meng Qiucheng, he couldn't help saying a few more words.

From the bottom of his heart, he has seen countless people, and he still has some respect for a woman like Meng Qiucheng.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Liu Xi braved the heavy snow to announce the decree.Meng Qiucheng received the imperial edict and immediately led Liu Xi to the room and sat down.He ordered someone to put more charcoal on the stove, and asked Jinxi to go to the kitchen to serve ginseng soup.

Liu Xi was overjoyed, although he was a celebrity around the emperor, he was only an eunuch after all.Others flattered him on the surface, but they were more contemptuous in their hearts.

But he could see that Meng Qiucheng was so sincere, without any trace of disdain.

"Lord Meng, don't bother, the miscellaneous family will go back to the palace to report to the emperor in a while!"

Meng Qiucheng took his arm and said with a soft smile, "Don't worry, Eunuch Liu. Today, I want to have some private conversations with Eunuch. Eunuch, please don't refuse." Before he could refuse, he turned his head and turned to Jin Xi hurriedly urged, "Go and see if the soup under the kitchen is ready."

Knowing that she had something to say to Liu Xi, Jin Xi tactfully withdrew.

After closing the door outside, looking at the closed door, she frowned secretly, and clenched her hands tightly together as if a little uneasy.

When I turned around, I saw Feng Sanhou in the courtyard.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and walked forward with a slight smile.

Feng San also glanced at the closed door, and said softly, "Go outside and talk!"

Jin Xi nodded, followed her to the kitchen, and checked that the ginseng soup was ready.

After entering the kitchen, there was no one around, Feng San asked bluntly, "Have you thought it through?"

Jin Xi nodded, "This is the only way."

"When Ah Yu said it, I still didn't believe it. Is this the princess' decision, or your own decision?"

"Sister Feng thinks, now, can others influence my thoughts?"

Feng San paused, "Does she know?"

"I don't know! Please, Sister Feng, don't tell her for the time being. If she knows, she will definitely not agree. But if you want to save her life, you need the emperor's letter, you have to supplement it with the king's letter, and you want the world to believe it. Naturally, you have to do it." more realistic."

Feng San sighed, she was in a hurry to go out today, so she didn't put any makeup on.Anxiety and anxiety crawled over a delicate face.

"I thought that the princess acted steadily, but she gave you such a way to go. But I didn't expect that you would agree to her at this time.

To be honest, this time we should have thanked the princess for her resourcefulness and given us a chance to be human again, and we should also thank Qiu Cheng for his persistence.If it weren't for her, we would have given up resistance long ago and would still live a life of inferiority and be bullied by others.

Qiu Cheng is not afraid of life and death, not only for General Deng, but also for us.If it was only because of herself, she should have given up long ago when she knew the truth.

Two days ago when I heard that she entered the palace, I was always very uneasy in my heart.Fortunately, now, there is finally a chance to stay away from these disturbances.But that's it, I'm sorry for you! "

Jin Xi smiled and took Feng San's arm, "Sister Feng, don't worry, the princess used this method after careful consideration. And this time I went to Beijiang, and the little prince from Xiliang would help me. So, definitely not something happened.

By the way, Qiu Cheng also said yesterday that he knew that you and A Yu had long planned to go back to the mountains and forests, so he specially asked me to choose a gift for you. "Jin Xi changed the subject.

Feng San looked at her jokingly, "I've seen everything in the Misty Rain Building these years, so I wouldn't mind sending some gold and silver treasures."

"Hehe, sister Feng, don't worry, it won't be those vulgar things. Your marriage with Ah Yu was delayed before, and I don't know if Qiucheng and I can catch up. So she specially invited the best embroidery lady in the capital I made a new set of wedding clothes for you guys. Although it’s not a good item, it’s still usable. It will be sent to Yanyu Building tomorrow.”

When Jin Xi said this, it meant that the separation was coming.

Feng San's eyes were moist, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, thinking of the disaster a few days ago.Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew how tragic the casualties were from what Ayu said.

Her discomfort was not only because of those people, but also Meng Qiucheng.

Meng Qiucheng is careful and kind, let alone seeing his relatives and friends being hurt.Luoying, she had been hit hard that time.This time the whole Xiao family was implicated because of her, the grief in her heart can be imagined.This time after blow, even a strong person will eventually feel exhausted.

Fortunately, there was Jin Xi by her side, if not for a support, Meng Qiucheng would have been too distraught to face all this.

She thought that a woman like Meng Qiucheng was unworthy of any man or woman in the world.Even a princess cannot be compared with her.

People in the royal family think and think about the imperial status. Even if the princess treats Meng Qiucheng well enough, in the end, she is still calculated.

Meng Qiu has a pure heart and good nature, so he must not like such calculations.Otherwise, this time, she would not be so angry with the princess.

Perhaps the most touching thing in this world is a heart that has never been calculated.

Only such sincerity is worthy of Meng Qiucheng's exchange.

Thinking of this, Feng San still sighed.She looked at Jin Xi, the worry in her eyes was already evident.But she couldn't persuade, and she couldn't persuade.She also didn't want anything to happen to Meng Qiucheng.In the end, all of these things turned into one sentence, "You and Qiu Cheng, nothing can happen to anyone."

Jin Xi's eyes were reddened by these words.Suddenly nodding desperately, tightly holding Feng San's hand.

In the depths of winter, the chill is biting, but the warmth of the world is enough to keep the heart burning.

In the room, the light is slightly dim.

Liu Xi sat across from Meng Qiucheng, took a sip of cold ginseng soup from the table, and praised, "Master Meng's cook is really skilled!"

Meng Qiucheng pursed his lips and smiled, "If Eunuch Liu likes it, you can leave this cook to Eunuch after the official leaves."

Liu Xi laughed, "If Master Meng is really willing to give up love, Zajia will not be polite to you."

The weather is cold, and this ginseng soup to dispel the cold nourishes and warms the spleen, and the taste is also excellent. Liu Xi really likes it very much.A bowl of soup does not need a cup of tea to reach the bottom.

Meng Qiucheng was chatting with him, and after he finished drinking the bowl of ginseng soup, he tentatively asked, "Eunuch, I have something to do with you, and I want to ask you about it."

There is no free lunch in this world, Liu Xi knows it.He also knew what Meng Qiucheng wanted to ask, and he was willing to stay, so he was naturally willing to tell Meng Qiucheng.

Liu Xi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth lightly, and said with a smile, "Master Meng is a smart person, there are some things that don't need to be said by others, but in fact, you understand.

Miscellaneous families have served the emperor for so many years, and they also know the emperor's temper very well.So what happened to the Xiao family was neither accidental nor deliberate.What the emperor wants is an obedient and loyal minister, and someone who can help him rule the world.Master Meng has such talent, the emperor will cherish it. "

Meng Qiucheng nodded slowly, "Elder-in-law is saying that you don't know about the Xiao family, but the princess is an accomplice?"

Liu Xi raised his eyes to see Meng Qiucheng's eyes, and after a while, he showed a smile that was not a smile, "Princess has done her best to Mr. Meng, and Mrs. Meng has really wronged the princess by being so suspicious. The girl Jinxi and the guard Ayu beside her were afraid that they would all be implicated.

It's just that the princess also has the helplessness of the princess, and the princess can't do whatever she wants and be free.

In that huge imperial city, only the emperor is a free man.But without the imperial city, even the emperor would not be free.The reason why Tianjia is called Tianjia is because the members of Tianjia are all lonely people who have lost their freedom.The emperor is, the princess is, and the queen is too. "

Meng Qiucheng was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding, "What does Eunuch Liu mean?"

"Master Meng has some things that don't need to be pursued to the end. Sometimes, it's a good thing to be a little confused. As for the princess and Miss Jinxi, perhaps their fate was doomed from the beginning. But Miss Jinxi's luck is better. Just like Concubine Chen back then."

Meng Qiucheng's eyes widened, suddenly a little incredulous.The hands clenched tightly between the sleeves suddenly, and there was a look of doubt between the brows.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xi shook his head and smiled, "There is nothing airtight in this world. Otherwise, the master in Mr. Meng's house would not be able to leave so easily."

Meng Qiucheng was a little dazed, but he suddenly understood.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the only one who can make Luo Shengdian disappear without a sound and without resistance is probably the current sage.

Seeing that she had understood, Liu Xi got up and swung the whisk between his arms.

"Excuse me for talking too much, but compared to Miss Jinxi, the emperor is still more willing to get close to Princess An Rong. Besides, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Or, the one in the palace is really true?"

Meng Qiucheng looked up at Liu Xi in a daze, "But..."

Liu Xi hastily interrupted her and said, "Master Meng, you should cherish your blessings!"

Meng Qiucheng bit his lip, and swallowed all his doubts and puzzles back into his stomach.Liu Xi is right, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.The important thing is that Jin Xi can be free, and Princess An Rong can also get her wish.This may be the best result, and she has no reason to change anything.

Liu Xi cupped his hands and saluted, "The soup tasted very good today, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to eat it at Lord Meng's house again in the future. Lord Meng, I have already said what I need to say, Lord Meng. , take care."

Knowing that he was saying goodbye to him, Meng Qiucheng clasped his fists and bowed in relief.

This ceremony does not involve the status in the court, it is just a three-point respect for the elders by a junior.

After Liu Xi left, Feng Sancai entered the room and had a few words with Meng Qiucheng, and then hurried back to the Yanyu Building.

It didn't take long for Ayu to report that he was safe.

This peace is not for himself, but for the only blood of the Xiao family.

A Yu was wearing the long jacket that Feng San sewed for him, the color was elegant, the cotton was all this year's new cotton, and the style was very decent.Today's Ayu is a little less sophisticated and a little more energetic.

He stood beside Meng Qiucheng and said, "Xiao Chen has entrusted to a farm family in the outskirts of the city. If it is in the city, I am afraid it will still cause suspicion. However, I have already made an agreement with that family, and it will only be a while." Just take Xiao Chen away."

Meng Qiucheng poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Ayu, then poured himself a cup and held it in his hand, "Is that family reliable?"

"Don't worry, I have checked secretly. This family is kind-hearted and rarely enters the city. It is safer without those unnecessary contacts. I am worried that Xiao Chen will not get used to the poor life. When I leave , the child has been crying."

Meng Qiu deliberately softened, "It's better to be bitter, but if you live a rich life, it will attract suspicion. I go to Beijiang now, and I can't take care of it. If the emperor arrests her, I will have another threat." Xiao Chen will also become a hostage and stay in the palace. If her parents are alive in heaven, they definitely don’t want her to lose her freedom and innocence since she was a child.”

"So I only gave the family some foster care fees. As for the remuneration, I also talked to the family, and I will pay it when they come to pick up Xiao Chen. The old couple are very loyal, and they didn't care about it. In addition, he has no children, so he is very kind to Xiao Chen. When he first went there, he insisted on giving Xiao Chen all the best things in the house."

Only then did Meng Qiucheng nod his head reassuringly, "That's good."

Ayu touched his chest with his hand, hesitant.

Seeing his appearance, Meng Qiucheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Ayu put his hand on his chest, and slowly took out a letter.

"This is news from Bei Jiang's side, and it's from Master Zhuang."

Meng Qiucheng took the letter and hurriedly opened it to read.While opening it, he questioned, "Master Zhuang's letter, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and when he looked up again, he saw that Ayu was silent, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his mind.

"you have seen?"

Ayu didn't speak, just nodded.

Meng Qiucheng paused when he opened the letter, "Is it about the dumb girl?"

Ayu nodded again.

This time, Meng Qiucheng was afraid to read the letter again.Holding it in my hand, I didn't know whether to open it or not.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and opened the letter.

Then, after reading the letter slowly, his eyes were fixed on a sentence in it.

Two unrecognizable dead women were found at the border of Beijiang, suspected to be dumb women and Ran Xue.

Meng Qiucheng read this sentence countless times, and his frown never relaxed.

"Are you sure? Is it them?"

"It is said that when the dumb girl and Ran Xue escaped from the Fucha mansion, they were hunted down all the way. Someone saw the dumb girl shot two arrows in the shoulder by Fuchaertai, and the shoulder of one of the female corpses was indeed There are two arrow wounds left. It's just that the two of them have been dead for a long time, and their faces seem to have been deliberately destroyed. But judging by their clothes and body shape, they are no different from the two.

Master Zhuang guessed that the dumb girls didn't want their bodies to be found, and ended up ruining their looks.Together with Bei Jiang Daxue, the bodies of the two were soon covered by snow.

Lord Zhuang found their bodies after finding the hounds of the nearby hunters. "

Meng Qiucheng still didn't believe it, "There is no proof of death, maybe these two are not the dumb girl and Ran Xue."

"Master Zhuang also said that he found a secret letter on the dumb girl's body, and it seems that he hasn't had time to send it yet."

Meng Qiucheng's hand trembled slightly, and the luck in his heart instantly fell to the bottom.
