Chapter 567 Maybe not long to live.

Xie Yuan heard that, raised his eyes to look at his master, and asked in doubt and pain:

"Master, do you also think I was wrong? I shouldn't be so persistent, shouldn't I go this way?"

Shen Qingzhi drooped his brows and eyes, his gray hair revealed the vicissitudes of life, and said:
"Yuan'er, many things in this world are not determined by right or wrong. You can only blame it. God made you have the wrong gender. Fate is like this... forget it."

Xie Yuandanfeng's eyes flickered, tears welled up in his eyes, watching his master pursed his lips in grievance, then got up without saying a word, saluted his farewell, turned and left.

She returned home silently along the way, it was almost dusk, and she ran back and forth all day without eating a bite.

But Sun Tian looked at her ugly face, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only watch silently outside the door.

Xie Yuan sat down behind the table, staring at the bright red color of the setting sun outside the window on the table, he was dazed.She began to think about the people she had met, the things she had done, and the scenery she had seen along the way.

... How terrible is secular prejudice?
Not only is she being questioned and criticized by others, even those who follow her and recognize her are also under tremendous pressure.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ke Sande to commit murder just because of such a provocation.

Are you going to order him to be killed?
No, she really couldn't bear it.

They have fought side by side for so many years, and they love each other more than relatives. If he died in battle, she would be sad to death, let alone order him to be executed.

What's more, he really did this to vent his anger on himself.

Xie Yuan supported his forehead with both hands, and slowly leaned against the table, bowed tiredly and painfully, his slightly trembling hands revealed the anxiety and pain in her heart:

She really can't help it...

At this time, she couldn't help thinking of Shen Liuzhen, and naturally remembered the painting she received in the morning.

She reached out and took out the ball of paper from her bosom, her eyes were red and her lips were pursed, she stretched it out little by little, put it on the table and smoothed it out, and pieced it together into a complete painting.

The paper was crumpled, and Shen Liuzhen's lovely face with a hideous smile was also crumpled, making him look a little more pitiful.

Xie Yuan frowned involuntarily, feeling extremely complicated, just like Shen Liuzhen made her feel.

Thinking of him once with a straight face, he said to her very seriously: What?You can't beat me in a skirt?Aren't you still you?

She felt that Shen Liuzhen was so good that he was unique in the world, which made her fall in love with her.

But when she thought of the sinister, vicious, hypocritical and despicable things he had done, she felt that he made people hate him.

But in the blink of an eye, he smiled at her shamelessly, innocently and cutely, and called her A Yuan affectionately, and the anger in her heart disappeared again...

Xie Yuan looked at the person on the paper and asked softly:

"If it were you, how would you do it?"

After Xie Yuan asked, he tilted his head and looked at the person on the painting for a while, then suddenly crumpled the piece of paper into a ball in irritation and disgust.

It's just that this time he didn't throw it away, but turned around and took a letter box from the bookshelf, and threw the paper ball into it.

There were many envelopes in the letter box, and the top one was in Shen Liuzhen's handwriting.

After she put the letter box away, she slumped against the back of the chair, turned her head to look at the afterglow outside the window, and didn't move for a long time.

……

……

In Wende Hall, Eunuch He said to Zhang Qing beside him while watching the news in the bamboo tubes in the secret room:

"Recently, people's thoughts are moving, and they are not peaceful. If you think there is something wrong, please let me know in time."

Zhang Qing stood aside obediently, and answered "Yes."

He knew that the master didn't say this casually, he was referring to the last time Xie Yuan raised his troops, he didn't tell him...

Of course, although he later made an excuse that Shi Ji, the head of the palace, blocked the way to deliver the news, but obviously Master He Gonggong didn't believe it.

He didn't believe it or not, but he didn't make it clear, and just exposed it magnanimously.

Zhang Qing knew it well, so recently...he was surprisingly obedient, and he rarely even went to brothels.

Eunuch He suddenly asked:

"Have you been to Xie Yuan's place recently?"

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said bitterly:

"Ever since her identity as a girl was exposed... How dare I come to the door at will? Afraid of being gossiped, avoiding suspicion..."

Hearing this, Eunuch He gave Zhang Qing a very dissatisfied look, and accused him:
"When you should get closer, you don't go. When you shouldn't get closer, you are very attentive!"

Zhang Qing was dumbfounded by the training, thought for a while and asked:

"Why should I go now?...You have offended people so badly, why should I come here? If you want our supervisory department to get closer to General Xie, don't expose people's faults before, this is not self-contradictory ?"

Eunuch He turned his face away, the small man looked up at Zhang Qing and said:

"Why are you not improving any more?!... If you remember that you are loyal to His Majesty, you shouldn't have said such stupid things!"

Zhang Qing felt guilty, his face turned pale for a moment, his mouth was tightly shut, and he dared not speak.

Eunuch He said angrily:

"Yes... I know that General Xie is wise and powerful. Compared with His Majesty, everyone knows who is higher and who is lower. But she is a woman... No matter how much you admire and want to follow, God has long ago cut off this road. Come on, clear your mind!"

"...Yes...Yes." Zhang Qing's voice was timid, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he quietly raised his eyes to see Eunuch He's expression, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness, and thank you, Master for your guidance..."

Eunuch He's eyes staring at him eased a lot, put the bamboo tube in his hand away, put it aside, and asked:

"Tell me again, what is the purpose of asking you to communicate with Xie Yuan more at this time?"

Zhang Qing thought for a while and replied seriously:

"Previously, General Xie was too powerful. Master picked her weakness and dispersed her power. However, people were tempted, and someone faintly wanted to work together to take away General Xie's military power, so... what Master meant was, Let me walk around with General Xie more at this time, to show that the Supervision Department intends to support her and restore the balance?"

Eunuch He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and said:
"Okay, I didn't teach you in vain... What happened just now, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about the death of the new infantry commander and seize the military power. You should pay more attention to it. If anyone is restless , press him to death first."

"Yes... the lower official knows." Zhang Qing responded humbly.

"By the way... have there been any changes in Duke Ma's mansion recently? Is there really no news at all?" Eunuch He asked.

Zhang Qing thought for a while and said:
"I also don't think it should be so quiet, but Ma Guogong is really like a lost soul. He just guards his son's coffin at home, and he doesn't mourn after the first seven days. He just stays at home like that, and the incense burns day and night... Many people who were old with the Ma family came from afar to condolence and comfort him, but the informants said that Ma Guogong looked in a trance and didn't pay much attention to him."

Zhang Qing paused, and added: "Many people say that Duke Ma may not be able to withstand the pain of losing his son, and he will not live long."
