On July 29th, the peaceful night in Kyoto was broken by a shrill scream!

Under the feet of the emperor, a ghost murder occurred.

The dead was the wife of Marquis Yong'an, Xie, who had just divorced Marquis Yong'an!

Those puppets were coming for Xie and the others, but the arrows hidden in the dark were aimed at Xiao Xuetang's heart...

At that time, Lin Xun had already led his men through the maze, but they were still some distance away from Xiao Xuetang. The person closest to Xiao Xuetang was Xiao Yu.

He pushed Xiao Xuetang away without any hesitation, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, Xie stood in front of her two children.

She was a very timid woman, who spent half of her life considering her husband as her heaven and the other half living in illusions.

It was on such a street, the street where she abandoned her child five years ago, that she risked her life to protect her child and blocked the earth-shattering arrow!

It was an arrow fired from a crossbow. The three-foot-long arrow pierced Xie's chest. The huge impact force pinned Xie's thin body directly into the dusty mud...

Xiao Xuetang ran to Xie and picked her up.

"It's okay. You'll be fine."

She tried to seal the hole in Xie's chest with her hands, and fumbled around to take out medicine and silver needles from her bosom. Her whole body was trembling.

Warm blood stained her white collar. An arrow had pierced Xie's chest, leaving a large hole and shattering her heart. No matter how good the medicine was, she couldn't stop the bleeding.

The wound was so deep and there was so much blood. She could only hug Xie's gradually losing temperature body tightly.

The mother and daughter had never been so close before. Only now did she realize that the gentle and graceful mother in her memory was so thin under her gorgeous clothes. Her temples were already pale, and the similar eyes of the two of them were gradually losing their spirit...

But the arrows were too powerful and had already shattered Xie's heart. She could only make a ho-ho-ho sound from her throat. When Xiao Xuetang got closer, she realized that she was saying, "Golden Jade Soup..."

"Tomorrow, mother will make you golden jade soup."

"Wait for mother, mother will be back soon to take you away."

Sorry, she broke her promise again...

It turns out that there are really not so many futures in life. Once you miss it, you miss it.

With endless worry and a hint of relief, Xie closed her eyes in Xiao Xuetang's arms.

"mother!"

She screamed heartbreakingly, her vision blurred by blood or tears, the whole world was a scarlet color.

She hugged Xie's gradually cooling body, as if trying to hold on to something...

Was it the child who had never seen the sunshine of this world in the previous life? Was it the mother in her arms at this moment? Why could she never keep anything she wanted to hold on to?

Everything returned to darkness and silence.

She seemed to hear someone calling out to her, but she couldn't quite hear it. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she fell backwards.

But he did not fall on the cold ground, but sank into a warm ball.

She tried her best to open her eyes, but she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her. She raised her hand and only felt the cold touch of the mask...

Where have I seen such a familiar embrace and familiar figure?

She was about to think about it, but her brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then she fell into endless darkness...

……

Xiao Xuetang was in a coma for ten days. During these ten days, the situation in Kyoto changed dramatically.

First, the crime of Wu'an Hou was determined, but he saved his life at the hands of Wang Xian and was sentenced to exile;

Next came the much-anticipated peace talks in Southern Xinjiang and the arrival of the twelve southwestern tribes in Kyoto for an audience. The former young general Mu returned to Kyoto, riding his horse through the streets, unrivalled in the capital.

Furthermore, there are rumors of evil spirits killing people in Kyoto!

The elders who presided over the Xie family's divorce with the clan leader survived, but everyone was mentally ill and shouted that they saw ghosts...

The people from the Procuratorate immediately cordoned off the scene and found the bodies of the people who attacked the Xiao family. After examination by the coroner, it was found that they had been dead for quite some time.

Lin Xun acted decisively on this matter, blocked the news, and asked Qi Yusheng to report to Emperor Yonghui overnight.

Emperor Yonghui was also very shocked when he heard this, so he ordered the Imperial Censorate to secretly investigate the matter and ensure that no news of it would leak out until clues were found.

After all, if something unexpected happened in Kyoto when other countries came to pay tribute, it would cause panic among the people and also damage the reputation of Dayin.

The eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis and the second master of the Xie family who had just been recalled to Kyoto were also seriously injured.

Fortunately, he was treated in time and his life was not in danger...

This matter spread in Kyoto and instantly caused an uproar!

"I don't know which immortal the Xiao family offended to have encountered such a disaster of being wiped out."

"That's right. The Marquis of Yong'an is still in prison. Many people in the Xiao family have died or been injured. Who knows what will happen to them in the future."

"I think it's all Xiao Xuetang's fault. If she wasn't so jealous and couldn't tolerate her half-sister, how could she have caused so much trouble? She caused her father to go to jail, her parents to divorce, and even her mother to die tragically."

"What a misfortune for our family, what a misfortune for our family..."

However, overnight, Xiao Xuetang went from being a victim to being the target of public criticism...

The news spread like wildfire, and even the Queen Mother, who had always devoted herself to worshipping Buddha and not caring about worldly affairs, heard some of the rumors...

On the day of the palace banquet, the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned Xiao Xuetang.

"This child just broke off her engagement with Shao Shu, and now she has encountered something like this. I'm sure she's feeling very upset. Your Majesty, I'm thinking of bringing the child to the palace to live for a few days to comfort her."

Emperor Yonghui was also very troubled these days, so he had no time to care about Xiao Xuetang. He said, "The child was frightened and has been unconscious for these days and has been recuperating in Shuiyunju. Queen Mother, you don't need to intervene in this matter."

When the Queen Mother heard the three words "Shuiyunju", her usually calm expression became a little subtle; but when she heard that Xiao Xuetang was just frightened and then fell into a coma, she didn't expect that his body was so weak, and she was very glad that she had already broken off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu.

If the engagement had not been cancelled, how could I have given Shao Shu a child with this body?

The Queen Mother was thinking about something else, when the Queen beside her suddenly said, "It is rumored in Kyoto that Xiao Xuetang is born with bad luck, and has brought bad luck to her father and mother. She even destroyed the Yong'an Marquisate. Living in Shuiyunju like this, will it have any effect on the old princess' health?"

Emperor Yonghui respected the old princess very much. He frowned when he heard this. Concubine Zheng, who was sitting below and said nothing, looked slightly moved and glanced at the two...

The queen's eyes flashed with a subtle gleam, but she didn't show it on her face. She still looked kind and said, "Besides, the regent often goes to Shuiyunju to pay respects. Xiao Xuetang is recuperating at the old princess's place, alone with a man and a woman. Wouldn't that be bad for the prince's reputation?"

Today's palace banquet was for the envoys from Southern Xinjiang. They had never heard of Xiao Xuetang, but when they heard the name of the regent who made them both fear and hate him, their eyes instantly turned hostile, and a trace of calculation flashed in their eyes...
