The reborn beauty Ru Lan

Everyone thought that the Supreme Emperor's favorite woman was Concubine Yun, because in this deep palace, she and her adopted son had the last laugh, but Xiao Xingyu didn't think so.

When walking in the quiet alley with Xie Rulan, seeing Xie Rulan's body became more and more stiff, and seemed to resist, Xiao Xingyu firmly held his hand and led him forward, saying something to distract Xie Rulan.

"Before Concubine Yun entered the palace, Imperial Father loved my concubine mother and imperial concubine the most, but after Concubine Yun, no one competed with her for favor. Everyone said that Concubine Yun was my imperial concubine's favorite woman. In fact, it is not the case, although Concubine Yun gave birth to the third prince for the father, but after the death of the third prince, the father never gave her another child."

Xie Rulan followed him in a daze, while wondering: "Your concubine mother has been in the palace for many years. I heard from Xiao Qian that Concubine Yun has been crazy for these years. After the concubine passed away, your concubine mother is His Majesty's favorite concubine." .”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to the twelve princes and the eighth princess a few years ago.

"That's something everyone can't see through."

Xiao Xingyu said: "Father moved to Lutai Palace after he abdicated. No lady in the palace went with him. Father only asked Li Meiren to accompany him."

"Speaking of this beauty Li, she was the one who accompanied my father when he was young, and he has been with him for decades. He has not been very good all the time, but his father will go to her palace every month. Although she is born It's just a court lady who has no son or daughter in her life, but when it's coming, the only thing my father cares about is her, not those newly favored beauties."

"Since she is a childhood sweetheart, this Concubine Li is so fortunate to be able to accompany His Majesty in this life." Xie Rulan said.

Knowing that these were just polite words, Xiao Xingyu didn't go to correct them, because his destination had already been reached, he dragged Xie Rulan to a compound not far away, and said with a smile: "A'Ning, this is your home. The back door? Let's go in and have a look."

Looking at the courtyard door with the old seal in front of you, the courtyard wall is already covered with green vines in the courtyard, the place is very quiet, only the chirping of birds is constantly coming from the wall, because most of the surrounding houses have been vacated The courtyard is even more deserted.

Xie Rulan stared blankly at the door and remained silent until Xiao Xingyu took off the seal and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, his face was frighteningly pale, and he said in a panic: "Forget it, I won't go in..."

"Why don't you go in?"

Xiao Xingyu had pushed the door open a gap, but it was not locked inside.

Xie Rulan tightened Xiao Xingyu's sleeves, lowered her head and said, "Someone will come here, let's go..."

"It's all here, I want to go in and have a look."

Xiao Xingyu circled Xie Rulan's hand, looked at him earnestly and said, "A'Ning, I want to see the place where you grew up, okay?"

As if bewitched, Xie Rulan suddenly let go of the stubbornness in her heart for no reason.

After hesitating for a long time in embarrassment, he finally nodded, and discussed with Xiao Xingyu again: "It has been sealed up for many years, there is nothing to see, but you have to come out quickly, someone will come here!"

Xie Rulan was always worried that someone would come here, Xiao Xingyu became more and more curious, and smiled without saying a word as he agreed to Xie Rulan.

The two of them opened the door and entered the courtyard. Weeds were already overgrown in the courtyard. The eaves seemed to be overwhelmed, and the tiles on the roof would not fall. The doors and windows were covered with thick dust. I don't know when it broke, and the well next to it doesn't know if it has dried up.

Only the grape trellis was still vigorously expanding outwards, and the vines climbed to the outside of the small courtyard, which was full of greenery.

Nearly autumn, there are bunches of green grapes the size of a fingernail, and there are a few bunches of mature ones on the branches. The plump and round fruits have been stained with a little purple red, which is really beautiful and mouth-watering.

Xiao Xingyu was overjoyed when he saw it, and when he was running to the grape arbor, he heard Xie Rulan whisper——

"The grapes were planted by me. When I was young, my little senior sister and I found grape seedlings from other people. As a result, they died after watering too much. Later, my mother planted a few more grapes for me. When I grew up, I let my father We built a shelf, and in summer we can pick grapes and eat them while enjoying the cool under the grape shelf, but the grapes are very sour and not tasty at all.”

Hearing this, Xiao Xingyu silently took back the hand that was touching the bunch of purple grapes, looked at the vines that were flooding and almost submerged the entire grape shelf in front of him, smiled and said: "There is also a grape in my palace." The grapes inside are all sweet, Ah Ning likes to eat sweet grapes, so I will take Ah Ning to eat some other day."

Xie Rulan was still depressed, sitting on the edge of the well without saying a word.

Xiao Xingyu raised his hand and rubbed his head, and said softly: "We are all back home, why is Ah Ning unhappy?"

Xie Rulan was silent for a while, looked up at Xiao Xingyu, with deep sadness in her eyes, and asked: "Xiao Xingyu, am I useless?"

"Of course not, Ah Ning, you are so good at martial arts, and you are willing to help others, so why is it useless?" Xiao Xingyu said.

Xie Rulan lowered her eyes and said: "But I don't even have the courage to avenge my parents. I don't even dare to go home. I am afraid that I will run into my little sister and uncle. If they ask me where I have been all these years, what have I done?" What, why don't I avenge my parents, what should I do..."

Eye sockets were slightly red, Xiao Xingyu sighed, it turned out that Xie Rulan didn't dare to come back, but was just worried that he would see his senior uncle and senior sister.

Back then, Xie's house in the Zhenyuan Security Bureau was ransacked, and people who had nothing to do with him let him out. However, Xie Yi was forced to be charged with murder and bribery.

It was Concubine Xu Gui's cousin who settled the case back then, nephew of Xu Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Changning, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Human life and bribing officials in an attempt to get out of prison.

Xiao Xingyu stood in front of Xie Rulan, blocked the scorching sun, put his hand on Xie Rulan's shoulder to comfort him gently, and said: "A Ning, I know everything the Xu family has done to you, and I will avenge you .”

Xie Rulan paused, and looked at Xiao Xingyu blankly, "But the Xu family is a relative of the emperor, and Xu Zhong's daughter is the current imperial concubine. I know that concubine Xu sent her father to frame my father. Without him, I can't kill Concubine Xu Gui at all, Xiao Qian will protect that woman, I can't get close to her side."

It sounds like Xie Rulan once wanted to seek revenge from Concubine Xu Gui, and naturally took action, but in the end it was unsuccessful, so she fled the capital in despair, and followed her master Jiang Yun to Fengxue Tower.

Xiao Xingyu would not ask too much about the past, because he knew that it was Xie Rulan's scar, and he was even more reluctant to uncover his scar, which made him hurt and uncomfortable.

Xiao Xingyu thought that maybe he did something wrong by bringing him here today, and he wanted to surprise Xie Rulan.

But Xie Rulan didn't want to recall these old things, it would only remind him of his powerlessness all the time, why he avoided talking about revenge now, wasn't it because he was completely desperate?

Xiao Qian is already the emperor, how can he fight against the sky as a commoner?

Xiao Xingyu was always angry with him before, and he was reluctant to bear Xie Rulan's suffering.

Thinking about it now, the way I forced Xie Rulan to recall these things back then, and forced him to face Xiao Qian was really too much.

In Gu Pan's words, Xie Rulan was supposed to be a carefree and upright young man, black is black and white is white, he only sees right and wrong, he has no interests, he will go to Zuixianlou impulsively for the sadness of his little sister If you make trouble, you will also quarrel with Gu Pan.

But now he has become so indifferent and taciturn.

Xiao Xingyu knew that Xie Rulan was cold on the outside and warm on the inside, so he guessed that he might be afraid.

He didn't dare to get close to anyone, and he didn't want to lose anyone he cared about, so in the past two years in Fengxue Tower, he devoted himself to protecting Jiang Huan, but he never had too close a relationship with other people, and he didn't want to let his shortcomings come to an end. Being caught by others will only make him question his uselessness even more.

That's why Xie Rulan asked this question just now.

Xiao Xingyu suddenly felt that he was an asshole before. He must have loved Xie Rulan so much that he held it in his hands for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting. It should be healing his scars little by little, not tearing him apart little by little. The scars made him collapse.

Xiao Xingyu felt that he should know Xie Rulan a little better, and he couldn't let him keep his mind on himself.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Xingyu simply said bluntly: "A Ning, I asked Lu Qingbo to investigate your family's case before, and now I have a clue. Lu Qingbo lived up to the trust, and even found out more crimes against the Xu family. , as long as the evidence is collected, I will impeach Xu Zhong in court, avenge you, and rehabilitate the Xie family."

Xie Rulan was stunned suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Are you serious?"

Xiao Xingyu nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Xu Zhong has become more ambitious over the years, and he has offended many people. Among the crimes that Lu Qingbo found out was even arranging soldiers privately, which is enough to ruin his reputation. As for Xiao Qian, I'm afraid It’s true that I’ve long thought about getting rid of Xu Zhong, and I’m just waiting for an opportunity.”

"Is there any chance of winning?"

For some reason, Xie Rulan calmed down again, staring at Xiao Xingyu with burning eyes.

Knowing that he was worried about himself, Xiao Xingyu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, no matter how powerful the Xu family is, they are only courtiers. Besides, he has made many enemies. I can definitely push him with my elder brother. Xu Zhong wants to carve up my Xiao family." If you are in the world, you also have to ask my brother if he agrees."

"King Rong?"

Xie Rulan still had lingering fears at the thought of being assassinated by the dead soldiers sent by King Rong last time on Banbupo, and frowned, "No matter what, you must be careful, don't be such an early bird yourself! Although the Xu family is a minister, But he is self-respecting, and he may have turned his back on it long ago."

Unexpectedly, Xie Rulan would know Xu Zhong better than him, Xiao Xingyu said: "I know all these, you can rest assured, this time I will make the Xu family unable to turn over."

Xie Rulan was slightly stunned, and suddenly hugged Xiao Xingyu's waist tightly, and buried her face in a corner that he couldn't see. Xiao Xingyu was also taken aback, and after a while, she heard Xie Rulan's dull voice——

"Xiao Xingyu, thank you..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xingyu was finally relieved, touched the head of Xie Rulan who was huddled in his arms, and said with a broken smile: "between you and me, what else do you need to say thank you, Aning, I just want to be with you for a long time For a long time, I will remove all obstacles for you, as long as you are safe and happy, I will be satisfied."

It was the words of love that almost drowned people, but Xie Rulan didn't respond, she just hugged Xiao Xingyu quietly for a long time, and then slowly let go of him.

It's just that the eye sockets were red, and the tips of the nose, cheeks, and ears were flushed a little, and she didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Xingyu. Xie Rulan dodged her eyes and complained softly: "You talk too much, and you get tired of hearing it."

Is it because he has no new ideas?

Xiao Xingyu sighed inwardly, glanced leisurely at his belt, saw the dark wetness on his outer robe, his eyes were full of smiles, then looked at Xie Rulan with ill intentions, let out a strange cry and pretended to be surprised : "Oh, why are my clothes wet!"

Xie Rulan lowered her head when she heard the words, but then took the initiative to pull Xiao Xingyu's sleeves, "Come with me, I have something to give to you."

When he suddenly became serious, Xiao Xingyu was still a little unfinished. Seeing Xie Rulan squatting under the grape trellis, pulling out the weeds on the ground in the corner, and reaching out to dig the dry and hard soil, he quickly understood and reached out to stop him. He drew a short sword from his back and handed it to Xie Rulan.

"use this."

This is the dagger that Xie Rulan gave him before, and he took it with him again. Xie Rulan pursed her lips, and there was a little smile in her eyes.

He drew out his short sword and used the sharp and shiny blade to dig up the soil. Xiao Xingyu waited quietly at the side. After digging about three feet deep, he finally found a yellow wooden box.

Xie Rulan dug out the small box, swept off the dust and mud on it, and hurriedly opened the hidden button, and the contents inside were still wrapped in a layer of oilcloth.

Opening the cloth bag, Xie Rulan said seriously: "Xing Yu, this is the correspondence between the Xu family and more than a dozen Huihe tribes in the frontier that I found after my parents died, as well as Xu's letters stolen from Xiao Qian." I suspected that Xu Zhong had the intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and I left in a hurry and buried it here, fortunately, these things are still there."

"you……"

Xiao Xingyu was stunned when he saw the pile of letters Xie Rulan handed him, and even a few memorials.

"Xing Yu, you have all these things. I am useless and can't help you. I hope these things can help you a little bit."

As Xie Rulan spoke, her face was filled with guilt.

Xiao Xingyu saw that he began to feel inferior again, he must have been bullied too much before, now he only felt distressed, he put Xie Rulan in his arms, and said seriously: "A Ning is really amazing, you are not a useless wreck , I don’t know how much effort these things have saved me, but they have helped me a lot!”

"really?"

Xie Rulan was dubious about receiving the praise, but the joy in his eyes had already betrayed him.

The beauty in front of him is well-behaved and fragile, Xiao Xingyu really doesn't know how to love him, he just hopes that those bad things will pass quickly, and let him comfort Xie Rulan wholeheartedly.

……

The well was not yet dry, Xiao Xingyu was in a good mood and personally fetched water for Xie Rulan to wash his hands. After rubbing his fair and slender fingers clean, he held them in his hands for a while and played with them. His fingertips were reddish when he played. Xie Rulan blushed again.

Xiao Xingyu was even more delighted, he felt that he seemed to have turned bad, and he liked to see Xie Rulan's embarrassment and helpless shy appearance, her cheeks were rosy, and she was even more beautiful.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't stay in Xie's house much, so he slowly sent Xie Rulan back to the palace, and then went to the palace of Ming Dynasty, and handed over the things to Zhong Yue and others for them to investigate further.

This trip was extremely brisk, but Xiao Xingyu was shocked when he came back.

There is no other reason, but in the courtyard, I saw Xie Rulan and Fu Yunjing who were waiting for her to come back.

The silence between the two of them was terrifying, Fu Yunjing's eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying, but after seeing Xiao Xingyu, she hesitated to speak, and finally left without saying a word.

Xiao Xingyu was still in a daze, Xie Rulan looked at him straight, and asked with difficulty: "So you are about to be engaged to Miss Fu."

He said he was questioning, but his eyes were aggrieved, and his voice was also very sad.

Xiao Xingyu immediately said anxiously: "No! I didn't promise to be engaged to my cousin!"
