night snow full of clear branches

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, Feng Chuantang lifts the sleeves and skirts with snowy sleeves, I bring a cloak and put it on her, she turns to hold my hand.

I pulled my hand and hugged her. "Some people say you are dangerous, let me leave as soon as possible."

"Then do you want to leave?" She wasn't curious who said this, or she knew it.

"I don't know." I hugged Wei Xue a little more tightly, breathing in her body greedily, even so, I still felt that there was an ocean between us. "It smells so good."

"I said you..." Wei Xue probably disliked me sniffing like a dog, before she finished speaking, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.

With a serious expression, Wei Yu ran straight to this side. "Your Majesty, I just got something, and I must report it to you immediately!"

Seeing light rain coming, I immediately let go of the hand holding Wei Xue, and automatically disappeared into the night.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wei Xue entered the bedroom. "In the past few days, it's better for you to follow me often."

As soon as I heard it, I appeared and asked Xiao Yu if she had said anything important.

"It's nothing, it's just an old friend seeking revenge." Her tone was relaxed, but unusual. I guess this old friend must have some unusual past with her.

A few days later, I met the so-called old friend that Wei Xue said.Pointing directly at the end of Wei Xue's long sword, the person holding it is my senior brother Min Tao.

"Why is it you..." Probably only senior brother Min Tao's skill can break into the palace without my noticing, I wanted to fight with my hands, but my hands froze when I met that person's face.

Brother Min Tao can be regarded as half of my master. After my father passed away, he was the brother and sister who taught me martial arts together. He was originally a student that my mother valued very much, but he didn't care about Jianghu. Retired with his wife.

It's not unusual for Wei Xue to know him, but what's strange is that these two enemies met each other.

"Ah Zhi, this matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better not interfere." I haven't seen you for many years, I have grown a lot taller, and my senior brother has not changed much, and he still recognizes me at a glance.

"You're here after all." Wei Xue's eyes didn't have the usual determination, but she felt more relieved. Since she wanted me to be by her side all the time these days, if it wasn't to protect her, then why?

"The palace guards are not the same as they were back then. Now they are much stricter. Even I had to work a little bit to get in here."

"If you came here for the dead, forgive me for being powerless. If it's just for that knife, I can pay you back." Wei Xue looked at senior brother Min Tao, with memories and judgment in her eyes. If the senior brother hesitated, he would rush out the door. Into a large number of guards.

"Repay? Why? It's easy to say." The brother took a step closer with his sword in hand. He just wanted to settle old scores today.

I wanted to stop in front of Wei Xue, but her elbow blocked me and stopped me on the spot.

The next moment, I saw Wei Xue's smile like a spring breeze again, and I had a bad premonition in my heart, but I was so focused on my brother's hand that I didn't see the dagger that Wei Xue took out.

In the blink of an eye, the dagger pierced Wei Xue's chest, and Wei Xue's hand was held by the hilt.

If it's just for that knife, I can pay you back.At that moment, I realized how to pay back.

When I hugged Weixue and shouted for the imperial doctor, Brother Min Tao sneered twice and said, "You are not only cruel to others, but also cruel to yourself." Hearing the sound of putting his sword back into its sheath, he disappeared into the inner hall before the imperial doctor arrived.

Then Wei Yu ordered the arrest of the assassin. I wanted to tell her that he was my senior brother, and that the guards could not easily catch her, but when I thought about telling her that I would be suspected of being a spy, I gave up.

It's just that when I told the fact that Weixue stabbed herself, no one believed it. The usually kind people thought I was talking nonsense, and many people even thought that the murderer was me, let alone let me get close to Weixue.

I helplessly glanced at Wei Xue who had bandaged the wound. Her face was pale, but her consciousness was still there. I don't know if it was because she was unable to speak or for some other reason.

They wanted to get someone to arrest me, but Xiao Yu suppressed me for me. I wandered around the palace for half a day, thinking about whether my brother could leave safely. It stands to reason that it is not difficult for him to leave, but it is difficult Someone is making a trick.

I don't know what kind of feud Wei Xue has with him, but judging from the situation, the senior brother really hates Wei Xue.

"Who?" I heard footsteps in the courtyard, a pair of black boots were exposed, and the person who walked out of the dark house was none other than Senior Brother Min Tao.

It turned out that he was making noise on purpose, hoping that I would find him.

"Ah Zhi, long time no see." The friendly and cordial greeting, just like when I was a child, is completely different from the expression that just drew the sword in the inner hall.

"Senior brother, how have you been these years?" It seemed to be bad, but I still asked like this.

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad."

"Why did you say that?" There was a rustling sound outside, and the wind blew, and the brother retreated into the house in a flash, and then the imperial guards came in.

After turning around and confirming that I was the only one in the entire courtyard, the imperial guards withdrew, and then I hid in the room, and saw my brother sitting leisurely on a chair.

"Anyway, brothers and sisters. Before I leave, I still want to tell you to leave the palace as soon as possible. The current emperor is a good emperor, but he is not a good partner." Knowing it, I'm a little curious.

"Did she ever betray you?" Wei Xue would definitely do such a thing, especially Wei Xue back then.

"It seems that you still understand her." The senior brother smiled, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

I asked my brother what was wrong with Wei Xue, and he said: "I paid back all the holidays. I wanted to take her life. For the sake of the people in the world, I will stop here."

"I'm just curious." It's hard to guess what kind of festival it is that made Wei Xue willing to stab herself. Thinking of the pain, even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't hit myself easily.

"I saved her, but she betrayed me, so I couldn't go home in time, and Chun'er died because of it." The calm tone cut short the past waves and summarized them, which shocked me for a long time before returning to my senses.

I still vaguely remember the appearance of my brother's wife, Chun'er, who is quiet and quiet, and has a deep affection with my brother. I thought they would live a paradise-like life after living in seclusion, but the world is unpredictable and the two lives are separated.

Suddenly he didn't know how to face Wei Xue again, he felt sorry for her injury and was shocked by what she had done.

Because I didn't know how to face Wei Xue, and because I wasn't sure about the attitude of those ministers towards me, I slipped out of the palace and went to the theater where Hang Xiu used to sing.A few days ago, someone wanted to buy the old theater land from the second master, but I got it at a high price, and no one knew that I had another theater here.

The furnishings in the yard are not much different from before, but it is too clean, and suddenly I miss Hang Xiu who is singing on stage,

After staying here, I was still thinking about Weixue's injury, and I really wanted to go back to the palace to have a look, but I didn't want to set foot in that puddle of sewage, the dreadful palace, as long as Weixue didn't open her mouth to protect it, I would soon be there. will fall into a miserable state.

Then, martial law began in the capital, the city gates were only open for three hours a day, and the guards strictly censored passers-by. I didn't leave the hospital all day long, and heard some wind from the wall, but I don't know the details.

Even though the capital is under such martial law, senior brother Min Tao still found an opportunity to leave the capital, but what followed was a large number of people who were looking for revenge like Min Tao.

What is even more surprising is that this group of people did not enter the palace directly, but instead learned of my location through some means, and they all stepped forward to ask for cooperation.

After I heard it, I found out that there were rumors outside that Mu Qingzhi, the imperial guard, stabbed the emperor and hid in the palace to catch me, so the capital city is under such strict martial law.

In the end, I became the focus of rumors, and everything was probably designed by Wei Xue.

Facing a few people who came to form an alliance to kill the king together, I laughed loudly and said, "It's really what I like, let's have a long-term plan, and kill the emperor by surprise before he recovers from his serious illness."

They came to me mainly because I am familiar with the imperial palace, having stayed by the emperor's side for several years, I am even more familiar with his living habits.

I thought, since Weixue wants to set me up, I might as well cooperate with "King Killer" once, since there is nothing to do anyway.

There were seven or eight people who came, and I kept them all in the theater, and I quickly got to know everyone's hometown and name. It doesn't matter whether they are true or not, as long as there are titles and impressions, it is easy to cooperate.

Most of them are for personal enmity, or their parents were killed, or old grievances, or were instigated by others, or misled by others...

Someone asked: "Why did Guard Mu lurk in the palace for several years, just to kill that Liang Weixue?"

I rolled my eyes and said: "She asked me to find the most beautiful man in the world for her, but I have been looking for it for many years, and everyone is not as good as she wants. She wants to exile me in a fit of anger. I have no choice but to Beat the killer." The story is perfect, without any obvious loopholes.

Everyone believes. "It's no wonder that the emperor has been on the throne for several years, and the harem is empty, and the love is not satisfied."

I nodded in agreement, expressing that the sacred will is unpredictable, and those who are close to me and my attendants are really having a hard time.

It has been ten days since I lived in the theater, and I heard that the emperor will not go to court for ten days. The "regicide" matter I discussed with several killers is almost mature. When the time comes, I will take the lead, lead the way, and others will wait for the opportunity to act.

If you don’t go to court for ten days, you must be seriously injured, but it’s also possible that you’re using your illness to get things done, but I’d rather be the former. day.

Just in case, before I left, I went to the vicinity of the palace to observe the guards' shifts. Sure enough, it had changed and became irregular.

Fu forehead and sigh, Weixue, you are really testing me.
