night snow full of clear branches

As soon as I came back from outside that day, I saw five or six people coming out of the house. I knew they were not ordinary people from their expressions and behavior.

A few people saw me but didn't seem to see them, and left on their own. When I was about to ask them why they came, Wei Xue came out and stopped me with her eyes.

"What happened?" I asked.

"It's nothing." Usually when Wei Xue said nothing, it meant she didn't want to tell me. I understood this, and I didn't continue to ask, but those people reappeared after a few days.

"Qing Zhi, you go out first." Wei Xue reminded me a few words, even though she really didn't want to leave, she still left the hut under her commanding eyes.

I was very curious in my heart and wanted to go forward to eavesdrop, but there were a group of people with high martial arts skills inside, and I was not absolutely sure that I would not be discovered.After struggling again and again, I still decided to go forward, but by now the group of people had already come out.

"I knew you wouldn't be so obedient."

"Hey." But I didn't hear anything. "You guys speak really fast." I scratched my hair and looked at Wei Xue embarrassedly.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, you just wait for me here, don't go anywhere." Wei Xue pondered for a moment, and said this sentence.

I grabbed her and said, "What happened?"

"Don't worry about it." She was as straightforward as ever.

"But I'm worried!" In the past, you were the emperor and I was a courtier, so I couldn't stop listening to what you said, but now that you're in this situation, do you still have to bear everything alone?I was very unwilling.

Weixue looked at me with soft eyes suddenly, embraced me, patted my back and said: "Good Qingzhi, you are the most obedient, I assure you that I am fine and will come back safely, okay?"

To be honest, I was unwilling in my heart, but I still nodded and agreed not to leave with her. The only thing to blame is that I have never been able to resist her soft words.

The next day, before dawn, Weixue got up to pack my bags. I was already awake, and I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep without knowing how to say goodbye. I felt a warmth on my forehead, and it was she who kissed me gently.

After she left, I slowly opened my eyes, I couldn't calm down, Wei Xue, Wei Xue, how can you tell me to wait for you here at ease?

So shortly after Weixue left, I also packed my bags and went out. She only said that she was going back to the capital, so I only went in the direction of the capital.

I didn't ask about world affairs for more than two months, and I didn't know where the rebels were. On the way to the capital, I rarely heard rumors about the rebels capturing the capital. Could it be that the rebellion has been put down?That's why Wei Xue went back, but if the chaos has been put down, why should she hide it from me?

The gate of the city is still the same, and the expressions of the people passing by are normal, and it is impossible to tell that there has been a catastrophe here.

I came to Xie Mansion and found Si Yong.

"What rebels?" Si Yong looked at me suspiciously as if he didn't know anything.

"Could it be that nothing major has happened in the capital in recent months?"

"If you really want to talk about big things, there is one thing. Maybe it's the rebels you mentioned. At that time, I heard that tens of thousands of people surrounded the capital, but they all withdrew overnight." Si Yong counted the days in detail. It happened to be the day when the so-called rebels attacked the city in my mouth.

"Overnight? Why?"

"I'm not sure about that, maybe the queen has come up with some clever strategy!" Si Yong smiled, and went to hold Yujun without looking at my questioning expression.

With the help of Mr. Xie, I met Su Yan who was locked in the prison. He was surprised to see me, but the surprise was not because I came suddenly, but because I came to see him so late.

"I just returned to Beijing yesterday, and I came to see you today, is this called ruthless?"

"Just came back to Beijing? Haven't you been in Beijing all the time?" I remember looking for Si Yong that day, and Si Yong blamed me for not leaving the palace to see her for so long. It turned out that they always thought that I had never left the palace.

"Oh, it's a long story, tell me, how can I save you?" I looked at Su Yan, who had lost a lot of weight, and sighed. no.

"Prison break." Su Yan said these two words suddenly, and I was shocked: "Are you crazy?"

"Hahaha, just kidding, I won't let you take such a big risk." Su Yan leaned against the wall with his head in his hands, his face turned relaxed and solemn, and he said, "Brother is dead, and now I am the only son of the Su family." , my family used to ignore me, but now they can't, so I am the Su family's handle in the hands of the emperor, do you think ordinary methods can save me?"

In just a few months, too many things happened. I don't need to ask how Su Yan's eldest brother died. There is no other possibility except the royal family.

"I will definitely save you!" After saying this, I left, leaving Su Yan with a worried face.

The female official at the entrance of the front hall said loudly: "The imperial guard Mu Qingzhi has long been demoted to a commoner, come here, beat her thirty big boards and drive her out of the palace!"

"What the hell?" I still had a carriage full of dirty words to say, and several guards rushed out, but I had no choice but to run away.

Originally, he wanted to see Wei Xue, but he didn't see him, but he learned that he was demoted.

In view of the current foggy situation, I didn't know who to ask to get the answer, so I found Mr. Xie.

Master Xie touched my forehead before he finished listening to my speech, and asked Si Yong: "What nonsense is she talking about? Is she sick?"

"I'm not sick!"

"Then where did you hear these words? Who said that you were demoted? Haven't you always been the imperial guard? And the emperor has been in the palace all the time. Why did you go to Fenzhou again..."

Xie Rui's words made me even more dizzy, the Wei Xue who stayed with me in Fenzhou for 76 days is the real Wei Xue, I can be sure of this, the one in the palace is fake?

However, Xie Rui told me that the emperor hasn't been to the court much in the past few months, but he will still pass the papers, and the papers are approved on time.

In this way, most of these ministers were also kept in the dark.

The voice of the housekeeper of Xie Mansion suddenly sounded outside the door: "These people don't have eyes today, the notices are posted on the West Street."

"Maybe some newcomers don't know the rules." A servant responded.

Si Yong hurriedly asked, "What notice?"

"Back to the princess, it's nothing, it's just a notice to be executed."

"Oh, I'm afraid people don't know." Si Yong shook his head, I asked what happened, Si Yong said: "Didn't Su Yan tell you that he will be executed in three days."

"What did you say?!" The surprises I received in the past two days were wave after wave. I quickly flew out of the yard and saw the notice on the opposite side.

I read the notice three times, and I was sure that the name was Su Yan, and then I froze in place. The reason why Su Yan didn't tell me was because he didn't want me to take risks. I, too, should save him.

At night, it was hard to sleep alone, Si Yong settled down and Yu Jun hugged the quilt and came to sleep with me.

"Qingzhi, it's a foregone conclusion, we can't change it."

"There are still three days, there is still time." Although I was flustered, I firmly believed in my heart, and firmly believed that Su Yan should not die so early.

"Any fool can see that Su Yan's beheading is just a bait to lure people from the Su family out." I understand Si Yong's meaning, she doesn't want me to intervene, so as not to get burned.

"But I always feel that things are not that simple. What I said today is true. The emperor really stayed with me in Fenzhou for more than two months. She was not in the palace."

Si Yong held my hand and said calmly, "I believe it."

"That--"

"But so what if I believe it? I'm just a princess, and I can't decide the overall situation." Si Yong's words contained a lot of helplessness. Ever since Xie Chenggui was "exiled", her helplessness seemed to be increasing. I don't want to ask anything.

I didn't speak anymore, my thinking was clearer in the deep night than in the daytime, both Si Yong and I could see that killing Suyan was a trap, it didn't make sense that the people of the Su family couldn't see it, there must be another deep meaning behind it.

Just as I was thinking about where to find some helpers, people from the Su family found me quietly.

"This is obviously a trap, do you really want to take risks?"

"Ms. Shepherd, don't you know that there are tigers in the mountains and you prefer to go to the mountains?" The other party asked me. I wanted to say that I am different from you, and I swallowed it back when I thought it might be arrogant.

The three members of the Su family, plus the four of me, have a half chance of winning. I don't have much brains. If it weren't for them, I would definitely not be able to accomplish anything by myself.

After some careful planning, it was decided that I would take the lead, and they covered up and took Su Yan away.

First, I didn’t cover my face, and second, I didn’t sneak attack. I appeared in the crowd of escorts in broad daylight. I knew that even if I covered my face, many people would recognize me in a fight. rushed out.

Sure enough, they are important hostages. After I took action, many plainclothes guards appeared from all directions. Although another person was there to help me from time to time, their main task was to rescue Su Yan, and they often ignored me. .

When they took Su Yan away, they also took away a large group of pursuers. In order to prevent the pursuers from advancing, I pursued them again. Unexpectedly, they chased them in several ways. I was unable to turn the tide. , Finally escaped from the siege and jumped into the moat.

The rushing river protected me very well. Although I was injured a lot by sharp stones in the water, fortunately, the water flowed fast so I didn't leave too much blood in the river.

I don't know how far I floated along the river, and I struggled to climb ashore when I was so tired that I could hardly breathe.Previously, I was too busy swimming to ignore the injuries on my body. When I rested, the pain all over my body suddenly surged, which made me feel uncomfortable for a while.

Opening up the small bundle on her body, she found a pack of wound medicine wrapped in oiled paper, and suddenly remembered that Si Yong had prepared it for me, and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. She knew she couldn't stop me, so she prepared the wound medicine for me.
