Chapter 229
"Shaoyi, Shaoyi." There was a hysterical roar in the distance, and the three of them looked around and found that it was Xu Siheng who was kneeling by the river, half-bent, with his hands tightly dug into the soil, his head bowed, The sound is piercing.

"Rong Yu." The three of them walked over to comfort them.

But Xu Siheng seemed to be deeply saddened, he just kept looking at the rushing turbulent river, his body trembling slightly, his expression sad, and he didn't speak.

Seeing Xu Siheng like this, the three fell silent.

After a long time, Chu Kainan sighed softly, and said to Jiang Wen and Jiang Yu: "Go back first, this is an important crime scene, it is not appropriate to stay with too many people, I will persuade Rong Yu."

"Okay." Both Jiang Wen and Jiang Yu also knew that they couldn't help much, so they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Chu Kainan turned his head to look at Xu Siheng who was kneeling on the ground, sighed slightly in his heart, stepped forward and squatted down, and said with a vague meaning in his eyes: "Rong Yu, stop being persistent, Shao Yi has already left."

"Impossible." Xu Siheng looked at the river blankly, with tears in his eyes, "Shao Yi can't possibly die, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and his martial arts are superb, no one will be his opponent, all of this must be fake .”

"It is precisely because he is the Minister of the Ministry of War that he was murdered." Chu Kainan retorted in a deep voice, "Rong Yu, look at the reality clearly, Shao Yi is indeed dead."

Xu Siheng lowered his head and remained silent.

Chu Kainan looked at Xu Siheng who was still in disbelief, and continued: "Although we are all Shaoyi's friends, none of us have fully understood him, and we don't even know what he thinks, nor do we understand Why is he unwilling to join His Royal Highness King Jin? With the Qi family destroyed, it is impossible for Shao Yi to stay in the court for a long time alone. We can all see how difficult it is for Shao Yi to survive in this battle for succession Li, but we simply don’t have the ability to help him, we can only let others wantonly oppress him. Even without this murder, Shaoyi would have no choice but to withdraw from the court and have nowhere to go.”

Regarding Qi Ze's actions and the predicament he was in during the battle for the heir apparent, Chu Kainan and the others had already vaguely guessed that Qi Ze had not actually turned to Murong Xiu at all.Otherwise, why did King Jin never help during these many deaths.

Therefore, no matter what the final result is, Qi Ze cannot stay in the court for a long time.This point, Chu Kainan and the others are very clear in their hearts.

But the man in Tsing Yi who was kneeling on the ground was very persistent, "Even though the Qi family is gone, Shao Yi can't stay in the court, but I am willing, willing to take Shao Yi back to the Xu family and raise Shao Yi for the rest of my life."

"So, you're admitting that you like Shaoyi, right?" Chu Kainan stared at Xu Siheng, and said shocking words out loud.

Looking at Xu Siheng who was stunned in place, Chu Kainan continued: "Rong Yu, you really can't hide your eyes. I saw it when the five of us went to Yijun Tower to have fun, didn't you I know how hot your eyes are when you look at Shao Yi. Before that, you fell in love with Shao Yi, right?"

Seeing that Xu Siheng was silent, Chu Kainan confirmed his thoughts, stretched out his arms to support the other person's shoulders, and kept shaking and said: "Rongyu, please wake up. Shaoyi is a man, you can't like him." Shao Yi, you can't bring Shao Yi back to the Xu family. If you do this, you will let your parents how to deal with it. You have considered whether Shao Yi is willing, and you will ruin your official career because of it, do you understand?"

Xu Siheng's body was weakly shaking back and forth with the strength, his eyes were dull, and the tears on his face were very conspicuous. After a while, the man responded: "I understand, Han Fei, I understand all these, so I have been suppressing this feeling But I found that I couldn't hold it back at all, and I couldn't accept Shaoyi's death at all. I really liked Shaoyi a long time ago, so early that I didn't even realize it myself. "

To be precise, he had fallen in love with him when they first met.

At that time, he was still taking the imperial examination, and he saw him in the examination room.

Many examinees who were also dressed in green skirts gathered together, and at the moment when they could talk freely before the exam, they talked with high spirits about the upcoming exam questions.

Candidates in a room were all gathered around a table and had a heated chat, but only one person with cold eyes was sitting very quietly by the window, as if isolated from the world.The man's eyes were quietly watching the scenery outside the window, one hand rested lightly on the bent knee, and the other leg was stretched out at random.

Although it was a very simple and slightly vulgar movement, it was performed by this person in a very elegant and casual manner. The noble temperament on his body was natural, but the same green shirt was worn by him with a unique charm.The faint golden sunlight poured on the beautiful eyes that were as dark as black jade, but it couldn't cover the cold and indifferent eyes, which seemed to be radiant and captivating.

"Hi, my name is Xu Siheng, can I make a friend?"

He walked out of the crowd, walked to the side of the man, and extended his hand to say hello.

The other party was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at him. Those quiet and deep eyes made him shocked and fascinated, and he felt that his heart subconsciously calmed down, as if time had stopped passing.

The man stared at his hand for a while, then slowly stretched out his white hand to hold it, and responded with an extremely warm and cool voice.

"Qi Ze."

It was such a simple and ordinary meeting, but it left an indelible mark on his heart, as if he had received a huge shock in his heart, and made him freeze in place in shock.

He has never forgotten the cool temperature of his fingertips and the soft touch.

As his mind was affected by the man's words and deeds, he gradually realized that he had fallen in love with that quiet young man from that moment on, and this was not an ordinary encounter.

And his love, he didn't know, never knew.Even though he hinted and expressed his affection many times, his reaction was still very light, and he never thought of being with him at all.

Even though his love is filthy and they are destined not to be together, when he sees the moon in the sky, he still can't help thinking about it, and can't help but fall deeply into those black eyes that are like vortex like stars, until he sinks completely, unable to extricate himself .

But now, he will never see him again, and in the future... never again.

On the outskirts of Dingjing City, in a very ordinary courtyard, a gentle middle-aged woman looked at the delicate and beautiful young girl in front of her, and sincerely praised: "It's so beautiful!", and turned back to take a bronze mirror Pass it to the other party.

The girl in the bronze mirror is combing the hair of an ordinary woman, and there is a small and delicate blue bead flower inserted in her hair, which matches with the girl's calm eyes.

Qi Ze looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, and reached out to stroke his own face.

From now on, she will face the world with this appearance. The servant of the military department of Nanchu has disappeared, and is replaced by the youngest daughter of the Qi family.She is just an ordinary lady from a family, no longer a courtier who walks every step of the way.

After looking at it for a while, Qi Ze thanked, "Thank you, this dress is very beautiful."

Siyun smiled, put the bronze mirror back to its original position, and said, "It's the little lady who has a good background, and she looks beautiful in any outfit."

"Aunt Siyun, isn't she going to go to Beishuo with me?"

"No." Siyun shook his head with a smile, "Living in this other courtyard is enough. The scenery is beautiful and there is no one. Life slaves are already satisfied."

At the end, the middle-aged woman glanced out the window at the sweaty middle-aged man who was bending over to plow the field with a happy smile on his face.

"Really? Then I won't force you. I originally wanted to bring you to Beishuo, so that you wouldn't have to work so hard every day plowing the land."

"It's good that the young lady has this heart. I have worked as a servant for most of my life, and I am not used to it when I suddenly stop doing it. And this kind of hard work every day, this kind of solid life is what the servant wants." Siyun smiled. Said, "The servant also wants to thank the young lady for giving up this other courtyard to our old couple. We finally have a stable place to live well."

"Anyway, I'm leaving, I don't need this other courtyard, and it's not a waste to give it to Aunt Siyun." Qi Ze said with his head slightly lowered, and then fell into silence.

Seeing that Qi Ze was silent, Siyun asked in a gentle voice: "Miss, do you have any questions about going to Beishuo this time?"

"En." Qi Ze nodded lightly, "I don't know why I agreed to go to Beishuo, obviously I can refuse."

"But why didn't you refuse?"

After a moment of silence, Qi Ze replied: "I don't know, it's just that my heart told me at the time that I wanted to go, and I had no reason to refuse. But the reason why I agreed to go to Beishuo, I have never been able to figure out."

"Is this a choice made from the heart?" Looking at the questioning girl, Siyun spoke out her experience in a gentle voice.

"At the age when I was still a young lady, I also had doubts. How should I go in the future, and who should I choose to face this unknown future with me? Until I met him, my I have the answer in my heart." The middle-aged woman turned her head to look out the window at the middle-aged man who was plowing the land.

"When I escaped from Qi's house, I was penniless and suffering from hunger and cold. Many people stayed away from me because they were afraid of getting into trouble. When I was so hungry that I couldn't walk and fell on the side of the road, he gave me He gave me a steamed bun, prevented me from choking, and handed me a bowl of water. This is an ordinary thing, but it saved my life at that time, and he was also the first person to give me food."

"Afterwards, with my excellent embroidery skills, I entered an embroidery workshop to work. Although I didn't have much money, I could barely support myself. At that time, the proprietress of the embroidery workshop was also kind-hearted. Seeing that I was just a girl, I just She took the initiative to introduce some young talents to me, especially a young man who has just been admitted as a scholar. If you are an official wife, you don’t have to work so hard. I am handsome, and I don’t look like a coolie.”

"But at that time, I rejected the kindness of the proprietress, and I also rejected the young man's courtship, because I knew that my life would be to hide everywhere, remain anonymous, and live in no fixed place. The young man was going to take the imperial examination. Spacious, how could he give up his official career because of me. No man is willing to wander around, hide and hide, and live a life of escape for a woman."

"When I had a certain amount of savings, I bid farewell to the proprietress and prepared to leave the town. But that night, he also sneaked out of the town with me, carrying all the valuable belongings on his back, and told me where I was going. Where to go, I can’t even go with a bang. I was laughed at at the time, and told him that I would go to more places in the future, do you have to follow? But he nodded firmly and said that we would follow. "

"So we got married, and that night, in a ruined temple, we held a wedding ceremony, and the Buddha became the only witness of our marriage. After that, wherever I went, he followed behind, carrying all of us on his back. Wherever I went with my belongings. And he never asked me why I went to these places, just followed me all the time."

"Everywhere I go, the common people there will ask me, why do you want to find a black and ugly man, he is not suitable for you at first sight. But I think he is completely worthy of me, he is the first The person who gives me food is also the person who is willing to follow me to wander around, and isn’t that what I need? Such a person is willing to face the future with me. My doubts when I was young actually came from the time I met him. In an instant, there was an answer."

"Only I know the answer in my heart, and only I know what I need most." The middle-aged woman turned her head, stroked the girl's head lovingly, and said, "Miss is going to Beishuo this time to find the answer." Well. One day, your heart will tell you what the answer is, and who will you tell it to.”

Looking for... answers?The answer in her heart.Qi Ze couldn't help lowering his head.

"The person who followed the little lady last time, didn't he come this time?"

"Well, he has some things to do, so let's go first." Qi Ze replied in a deep voice, still wondering why Siyun brought up Que Yu.

Siyun smiled slightly, tilted his head and said with a smile: "That person looks pretty good, gentle and heart-warming, and he seems to be a person who can take care of others."

Qi Ze: "..." Siyun, are you sure you're talking about Que Yu?Gentle, heart-warming, and especially caring, these have nothing to do with that guy at all.

Looking carefully at Siyun's smiling face with lightly closed eyes, Qi Ze finally determined that Siyun didn't seem to be joking, but Que Yu had nothing to do with these words.Every time he pulls her face, it hurts, and his hands are so ruthless, every time it hurts for several days, making her wish to strangle him to death with one hand.

At this moment, the voice of Zhu Yu Cangzhu coming back from the investigation came from outside the house.

"Let me just say, no one will find out. Now everyone in Ding capital thinks that the master is dead, and even the Holy Majesty has been in court for three days. There will be no problem." Cang Zhu said cheerfully.

But Zhu Yu didn't seem to want to talk to him, and said bluntly: "I'm not worried that the people in the capital will find something, but I'm worried that you throw the broken body into the river. If people are salvaged and investigated, we're done."

"You still have the nerve to say, why do you ask me to throw the broken corpses? You don't know that so much pork is very heavy." Cang Zhu said angrily, and then said very proudly: "But you are still worried about my work? I threw it The section of the river I chose is the one with the fastest flow. It is still a bit difficult for the people of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to salvage it intact. It's just that Murong Sheng is poor. Even if he dies, he will be framed and used again. However, it's no wonder we , this reason is also the best reason not to be suspected."

"It's good that the matter is done, so that the master can retreat unscathed." Zhu Yu said with a sigh of relief.

Cang Zhu nodded, and then said angrily: "But I'm still a little upset, why do you let me throw the broken corpses, and you go to chop people with a knife. You don't know how ruthless you are, and you almost got real It's the master."

"...Master's martial arts is so high, I can't cut it even if I want to, and if I don't strike hard, how can people believe that it is wanton revenge." Zhu Yu said helplessly.

"Hmph, anyway, let me throw the broken corpse, and you rest on the sidelines, I just feel unhappy in my heart."

When the two of them were talking to each other, they heard the sound of the door opening behind them.Two women came out from the inside, one of them was wearing an indigo blue dress, exquisite beaded flowers on her head, and embroidered shoes, hanging down to her waist like dark green silk, with plain hands gently holding the edge of the door, tilting her head slightly, and a It's no different from a lady from an ordinary family.

Cang Zhu looked at Qi Ze in this attire for a while, then said in a daze, "Master, why are you wearing women's clothing again?"

Qi Ze: "..."

Zhu Yu couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, Cang Zhu, haven't you seen it yet?
Siyun laughed out loud upon hearing this, put one hand on Qi Ze's shoulder, and leaned her head lightly.From a distance, it looks like family members with a very close relationship, like women cuddling each other and talking intimate whispers.

Seeing this scene, Cang Zhu also understood instantly, pointing at Qi Ze, stammering: "Master, you...you..."

"I can't do it, Zhu Yu, just pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming." Cang Zhu poked Zhu Yu with his elbow, and Zhu Yu also pinched him unceremoniously.

"Oh, mother, it still hurts." Cang Zhu finally confirmed that this was not a dream, and his master was indeed a woman.

Under Cang Zhu's dazed eyes, Qi Ze walked down from the door of the room slowly, and walked towards the carriage outside the door.

Qi Ze was very indifferent, but Cang Zhu still didn't fully accept it, chasing the cold figure in front of him, yelling non-stop.

"Master, are you really a woman? Why don't you tell your subordinates? If you say so, your subordinates won't worry about the mistress. However, if the master likes a man later, you can tell your subordinates, Even if the person is not willing, the subordinate will kidnap him. The subordinate is the best at kidnapping and extorting, and will definitely satisfy the master. Oh—"

As the person in front walked forward, he threw the stones in his hands to the ground. After walking a few steps forward, he leaned over and stepped into the carriage with very elegant movements.

Cang Zhu behind her staggered and fell to the ground after being smashed. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she was indeed the master. Even though she was wearing women's clothes, the familiar strength and pain still remained the same.

Zhu Yu even covered his face, facelessly facing Siyun and his wife who were standing in front of the other courtyard behind him and waved goodbye.

Looking at the rapidly flashing scenery outside the car window, Qi Ze lowered his eyes and thought deeply.

Is she going to find answers?Going to Beishuo this time is full of unknown dangers for her. What kind of family is the Qi family?

All of this will be known when she arrives.
