Is the emperor cremated today?

Xu Miaoyin got up from the bed, and Yuchun put a pillow behind her waist in due course.

Xu Miaoyin leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the two servant girls in front of her with worried eyes.

She smiled, feeling a little bit bitter and sour in her heart, how things had developed to this point, her life seemed to be crushed, it was already in pieces, and she didn't know how to pick it up.

Seeing that Xu Miaoyin was in a low mood, Yuchun comforted her and said, "Girl, today's breakfast is all your favorite, so eat as much as you like."

Xu Miaoyin nodded and said yes softly.

After freshening up, Xu Miaoyin sat down at the dining table and told Yuqiu, "Yuqiu, go to Lingyuexuan to see if the second girl is awake, and if she wakes up, ask her to come over and have breakfast together."

Yuqiu took orders and went.

Xu Miaoyin ate the porridge in the bowl with small sips. She liked porridge without any seasoning since she was a child. If it is bad at the beginning, no matter how long it takes to boil it, what you will get is a broken pot of porridge.

After a while, Xu Jiaoyue followed Yuqiu to Lanyin Academy.

It was the second time Xu Jiaoyue came to Lanyin Academy, but this time her mood was quite different from the last time. She might know what Xu Miaoyin wanted to say to her.

Xu Miaoyin asked someone to add more bowls and chopsticks to Xu Jiaoyue, so that Yuqiu and Yuchun didn't have to wait on them, and let them go down first.

Xu Jiaoyue also breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Xu Miaoyin knew that it was better not to let irrelevant people know about some things, not to mention that the two of them were still Xiao Qi's people.

Xu Miaoyin thought very simply, she just didn't want the two servant girls to worry anymore.

After Xu Miaoyin finished drinking the porridge, she looked at Xu Jiaoyue quietly, seeing how delicious she was eating, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Xu Jiaoyue swallowed the food in her mouth, and said softly: "Sister, you came to me because you have something to say."

Xu Miaoyin nodded and said: "I actually want to leave, but before I leave, I want to find a way out for everyone in my family, and I don't want them to be burdened by the Xu family."

Xu Jiaoyue sighed secretly, if she knew that the people staying here were all fake and belonged to Xiao Qi, would she still think so?
"how do you want to do it?"

Xu Miaoyin said: "I want to tell my father about this matter, the three of us have an open and honest talk with Xiao Qi, so I came to you to ask you, if you let go of the glory and wealth of the Xu family, will Jiaojiao Weird sister."

Xu Jiaoyue replied without thinking: "How could I blame my sister, my sister always loves me, and always plans for us, prosperity and wealth are nothing but a cloud, the most important thing is that the family can be together!"

Presumably the real Xu Jiaoyue would do the same, after all, she also left behind all those who went away with Qin Zhan.

Xu Miaoyin took Xu Jiaoyue's hand and said, "It seems that Jiaojiao has really grown up."

Xu Jiaoyue held Xu Miaoyin's hand, and said solemnly: "It's better not to tell anyone about this. He's not in good health with daddy. Let's tell him after everyone has been arranged."

Xu Rennian is also a fake, telling him is meaningless, now we can only stabilize Xu Miaoyin first, and then she will find a way to tell her the truth bit by bit, she should be able to accept it slowly.

Xu Miaoyin naturally thought of what Xu Jiaoyue wanted. She made up her mind last night after thinking about it all night. She can no longer be manipulated by others. If they want to get out of Xiao Qi's hands, they must have their own bargaining chip, that bargaining chip It is the lifeblood of the Xu family, the saltworks in Yancheng.

The salt produced by the Xu family can account for [-]% of the market, and the reason why the Xu family can account for such a large proportion is because the salt of the Xu family has no impurities. Naturally, there is a secret in it to be able to do such a process, and this All the secrets are in the hands of every head of the Xu family.

It can be said that as long as you have this secret, you have mastered the secret of making money, which is also the origin of the Xu family's wealth.

If Xiao Qi really wants to control the Xu family's property, then this is the only bargaining chip.

And Xu Rennian knew Xiao Qi's purpose, and persuaded him to hand over this secret, so that the Xu family could be kept and Xiao Qi let them go.

Xu Miaoyin believed that in the face of huge wealth, Xiao Qi would agree to let them go.

Isn't this the purpose of his coming to Xu's house?
Xu Miaoyin analyzed the pros and cons with Xu Jiaoyue, but Xu Jiaoyue thought of another thing.

According to the occurrence of the incident, Xu Rennian was sent to prison, maybe it was because he did not hand over the secret of the Xu family's salt production.

"Sister, you told me yesterday that Daddy will be wronged and imprisoned in the near future. Is it possible that Daddy was not willing to hand over the secret of making salt, so he was thrown into prison by them. Since Daddy didn't How could they let Daddy die so easily if they come up with the secret?"

Xu Miaoyin was taken aback, recalling the situation at that time, she asked her cousin to go to the prison to see how her father was doing, and within half a day she sent a message back saying that her father had contracted the plague and died suddenly, if her father did not die, then why did they fake her father? The news of his death, and someone wanted to spread it to her?

"Then what is their purpose? Why did they falsely report the news of Daddy's death to me?" Xu Miaoyin looked at Xu Jiaoyue and asked.

Xu Jiaoyue thought for a while and said: "Maybe they think that my sister knows, even if Dad doesn't tell, as long as you know the news of Dad's death, you will tell the whole story about the salt making."

But Xu Miaoyin shook her head and said: "No, none of them came to look for me. Until I died, the person who killed me never asked me anything about salt, so there must have been something happened between us. Things I don't know."

Xu Jiaoyue asked: "What happened then? Why did they set fire to Xu's house?"

After hearing Xu Jiaoyue's question, Xu Miaoyin shook her head, but she didn't know why.

Both of them pondered in silence for a long time, but they looked at each other at the same time, and they also saw suddenness in each other's eyes, as if they both thought of something.

"Since they set fire to destroy the Xu family, they must have obtained the secret of making salt before then, so what can make daddy speak up? Only the safety of our sisters can make daddy speak up." Xu Miaoyin analyzed, but Then he was puzzled again: "It's just why they sent me the news of Daddy's death? I still can't figure it out."

Xu Jiaoyue also couldn't figure it out, why did they go to such lengths and get what they wanted, but suddenly sent back such a message, what is the purpose?
This may be the key to whether Xiao Qi killed Xu Rennian.

The two were thinking about it, but they still couldn't figure out what happened in the middle, but there was one thing that could be prevented in advance, as Xu Miaoyin said, using this as a bargaining chip in exchange for the safety of the family.

Perhaps the side that takes the initiative will still have a chance.

But Xu Jiaoyue still didn't agree to let the fake Xu Rennian know, that would only arouse Xiao Qi's suspicion, and they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to.

Is she going to pierce everyone's disguise now?

Can Xu Miaoyin accept it?
Xu Jiaoyue was struggling in her heart, wondering if she should have a showdown with Xu Miaoyin at this time.

After thinking about it, Xu Jiaoyue tentatively said, "Uh, sister, if one day you find out that the world you live in is fake, what will you do?"

Xu Miaoyin's expression changed when she heard the words, she looked at Xu Jiaoyue for a long time, until Xu Jiaoyue swallowed nervously, then Xu Miaoyin said: "Before leaving, Xiao Duo told me not to trust the people around me. They're all lying to me..."

Xu Miaoyin paused, stood up and walked behind Xu Jiaoyue, put her hand gently on Xu Jiaoyue's shoulder, but made Xu Jiaoyue's body tense instantly, and Xu Miaoyin continued: "Now Jiaojiao, you tell me again , I think you both know the same thing and I don't, what could it be?"

Xu Jiaoyue's heart was in her throat, but she didn't know how to mention this matter to Xu Miaoyin, but at this moment Xu Miaoyin suddenly let go of Xu Jiaoyue, walked back slowly, and sat down beside Xu Jiaoyue again.

Looking at Xu Jiaoyue, she answered her question just now, "If I find out that the world I live in is fake, then my only hope is that as long as you and Daddy treat me sincerely, I will still be myself."

Well, this sentence directly shattered Xu Jiaoyue's hope. It seems that I still have to tell her slowly, so how can I let her discover it by herself?

Xu Jiaoyue felt a little headache, this is really not an easy thing to do.

Xu Miaoyin asked at this time: "Jiaojiao, why didn't Yunxiang come with you to serve today?"

Xu Jiaoyue didn't come back to her senses for a moment, she was stunned for a while before she said: "Oh, she's not feeling well recently, so I asked her to stay in Lingyuexuan to rest."

Xu Miaoyin was relieved when she heard the words: "Jiaojiao is much more careful now."

Xu Jiaoyue laughed silly a few times, she wouldn't care about that pervert anymore, if Xu Miaoyin hadn't asked, and she didn't want to give up immediately, she would have confessed him a long time ago!
Xu Miaoyin glanced at the drip glass and said, "Jiaojiao, go back first, I will come to you again if I have something to do."

As he spoke, he summoned Yuqiu and Yuchun to tidy up the cold breakfast on the table.

Xu Jiaoyue thought that she also needed to go back and make up her mind, so she got up and left Lanyin Academy.

Xu Miaoyin sent the person to the gate of the courtyard, watching Xu Jiaoyue's back gradually receding, her expression also became complicated.

Xiao Qi hasn't seen Xu Miaoyin in the past few days, and just sleeps alone in the study room, but the hidden guards around the study room are a bit miserable, everyone is afraid to make any mistakes, for fear of anger The people in the study.

The master's face has been extremely cold these past few days, no one dares to touch the bad luck.

With a cold face, Xiao Qi sat in the armchair, holding the medicine that Lu Shifang gave him in his hand.

It's been a few days, but she hasn't shown any signs of coming to him, she simply ignores him, he waits for two more days, if she still doesn't come to him, then he...

Xiao Qi became ruthless, so he went to find her, and he couldn't believe that she was indifferent!

Putting away the pill in his hand again, in fact, he still couldn't bear to let Xu Miaoyin take the medicine. After all, he was still afraid, no matter how hard he was, he still didn't dare to hit her hard.

Xiao Qi felt a little helpless, but no matter how helpless he was, it was not all his own making.

At this time, a dark guard came to report.

"My lord, there is news from the people of Shu." The dark guard handed Xiao Qi the letter he had just received.

Xiao Qi took it casually, and slowly unfolded it. Just now, he had a somewhat sloppy expression, but suddenly became serious.

Great, we finally got news from Xu Jiaoyue.

In this way, Xu Miaoyin should not blame him anymore, as long as he brings someone to see her, maybe they still have a chance to start over.

Jiuli Mountain
Xu Jiaoyue hugged her two-year-old daughter in front of the house and kept looking at the road down the mountain.

The little girl in her arms was holding the rattle in her hand and shaking it, she didn't notice her mother's anxiety at all, she smiled and showed her two small front teeth, Xu Jiaoyue also smiled immediately after her giggling. What a careless child!
"Awan, do you miss my brother, he will come back with your father soon!" Xu Jiaoyue teased the girl in her arms.

Ah Wan seemed to understand Xu Jiaoyue's words, and shouted excitedly: "Guoguo, Guoguo!"

"It's brother, come and tell Aniang, brother."

"Guoguo, Guoguo!"

"elder brother!"

"Guoguo, Guoguo!"

"..."

Xu Jiaoyue was about to get angry when she heard footsteps approaching, but after a while she saw a young man running over, took Ah Wan from Xu Jiaoyue's arms, and said happily, "Wan Wan, do you miss my brother? My brother misses you to death." La!"

After speaking, he hugged Ah Wan into his arms and rubbed Ah Wan's tender face.

But Ah Wan slapped Xiao Duo on the face, shouting, "Hug, mother!" and stretched out her hand to Xu Jiaoyue.

Xiao Duo saw that half of her body was leaning over, so he handed Ah Wan to Xu Jiaoyue. Xu Jiaoyue took Ah Wan and asked, "Are you Uncle Qin?"

While teasing Ah Wan, Xiao Duo said, "Uncle Qin is eliminating and following me to receive the tail, he will be back in a while."

Xu Jiaoyue sighed slightly, and said angrily: "Look at you still running around in the future, if Xiao Qi's people really arrest you, let's see if you are still alive."

Xiao Duo looked up at Xu Jiaoyue and said, "I saw your sister."

Xu Jiaoyue was startled, and asked nervously, "How is she doing now?"

Xiao Duo recounted what happened during this period of time to Xu Jiaoyue. After hearing this, Xu Jiaoyue felt anxious for a while, with hatred and pity at the same time, hating Xiao Qi for lying to her sister like that, and pity that Xu Miaoyin was trapped in her memory. I don't know, but I still believe in Xiao Qi so much.

Xiao Duo comforted her and said, "You don't need to be so anxious. I warned her before I left and told her to be careful of the people around her. I guess she will be a little wary now."

Xu Jiaoyue was still worried, she wanted to go and see for herself.

Although at that time Xiao Qi forcibly took away his sister and let them go, Qin Zhan was afraid that Xiao Qi would not let them go, so he kept hiding in Tibet, and now he came to Sichuan and lived a stable life, but she was always in the heart. I'm sorry, after all, it was my sister who left with him in exchange for her and Qin Zhan's safety, how could this not make her feel ashamed of her sister!

Xu Jiaoyue was blaming herself when a young man with a beard walked into the room.

Seeing Qin Zhan's return, Xu Jiaoyue stood up and said, "Qin Zhan, I want to go back to Yangzhou to find my sister!"

Sorry, I've been a little busy lately, so I'm going to take it slower.
