miscalculation

Pei Shang stayed in the secret room, often sitting for a long time without appearing impatient, as if he didn't care about anything.Logically, the Pei family was in dire straits, and Pei Shang shouldn't be so calm, but the sudden incident made Yun Zhao unable to see the truth.

When Yun Zhao felt that he was in good health, he came to talk to him, but he couldn't respond.The two sat opposite each other, and they didn't bicker like usual, but Yun Zhao was not in good health, so he found a chair to sit on for a few hours, and went out again.Pei Shang didn't seem to say much, and let him go.

Not long after, news came from the palace that Concubine Liu Chen had a miscarriage, and even though her bleeding was controlled by the imperial physician, she seemed unable to turn around.

Xiao Yi bestowed the whole family of the Pei family to be beheaded, the young ones were sent to the frontier as slaves, and Zhang Huaimin was beheaded at the Meridian Gate.On the day when the news came, when Xiao Liang heard about it, he just kept silent, sat there, didn't eat and said nothing, let Yun Zhao coax him in every possible way, but just didn't move.

Yun Zhao's health was weak, seeing him like this, he didn't dare to say anything, but just stood by his side tightly.

Ji Lan came from outside, and didn't talk to them much, just touched Xiao Liang's sleeping point, and said: "Yun Zhao, the execution will be executed tomorrow, and Mr. Zhang asked someone to bring me a message in the prison, saying that he wants you to go in for a while." talk."

Yun Zhao knows that this matter is very risky, and he is afraid that if someone finds out, it will implicate Ji's family.He looked at Ji Lan and said, "Are you really willing to help me?"

"Yes. But the Pei family..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Pei Shang suddenly walk out of the door and said, "I'll go with you!"

Ji Lan wanted to refuse, but Yun Zhao said: "It's okay, I have a pair of underwear. Let him wear it, and go with me. I'm afraid I can't do what my uncle entrusts me now."

Ji Lan said: "The prison door of Pei's mansion is on the other side. Mr. Pei can give them the last bowl of rice, and he has the right to say goodbye. But you must not show your feet, otherwise you will only have a dead end."

Yun Zhao said, "Are you staying with Feng Mian?"

Ji Lan said: "Mr. Zhang told you to take the last pill for him."

Yun Zhao said: "Okay. Junior Brother Ji, I will leave Xiaoliang to you. If... anything happens to us tonight, you must persuade him."

Ji Lan asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Yun Zhao said: "You don't need to ask more questions, just take good care of him."

Ji Lan knew he couldn't ask any more questions, so she nodded in response, and arranged for them to go out through the back door.After Pei Shang and Yun Zhao got into the carriage, they began to make up and change their appearance. When they arrived at the gate of the prison, the two of them had to leave separately.

Pei Shang turned his head and walked over there, not paying any attention to Yun Zhao's preoccupied gaze standing behind him.

Yun Zhao thought in his heart: He really hates his uncle for dragging the whole Pei family into trouble.I just don't know why you are so calm now, what are you thinking?

There was already a person waiting by the cell door, who led him all the way to do the packing, and when he got inside, he handed him a bamboo basket, without saying much, just retreated to the side.

Covered in filth, Zhang Huaimin climbed to the prison door, and when he saw Yun Zhao, he couldn't help but chuckled.

Yun Zhao felt sad when he saw it, and asked, "Uncle, how can you laugh at this time?"

Zhang Huaimin said: "Of course I am happy. I will be able to see your grandfather, grandmother, your uncles, and your aunt soon. Isn't it a great joy to have a family reunion?"

Yun Zhao cried when he heard this, "Is there any difference in the death of my aunt?"

Zhang Huaimin said, "Open the basket quickly and give me that bottle of wine."

Zhang Huaimin drank the wine in one gulp, then took out the hairpin from his head, pierced his wrist, pointed at the wine bottle, and slowly dripped blood.

Yun Zhao asked, "Uncle! What are you doing?"

Zhang Huaimin said weakly: "The bracelet on your aunt's hand could have cured all kinds of poisons. She was suddenly ill, and it was too late to explain to her son. But I kept thinking, why didn't she take the medicine from the bracelet herself, knowing that Xiao Yi was poisoned? Take it. Later I figured it out. She must have seen that Xiao Yi had become cruel. Even if he detoxified, he would inevitably be killed by other means. She went with peace of mind, and Xiao Yi might feel sorry for his young son and be considerate and lenient .”

Yun Zhao said, "Auntie was really poisoned to death?"

Zhang Huaimin said: "I opened the coffin that day and didn't take a closer look, but her bones turned black, which was obviously poisoned. I lied that the bracelet needs to be ground into powder, but in fact it only needs to be broken open and swallowed. I have already taken the powder. Next, the effect of the medicine has been shown in the past few days, and the blood in my whole body is abundant. The medicine on this hairpin can temporarily prevent my blood from clotting. Now you take this bottle of blood back, and with the help of that medicinal wine, it will surely last for six hours. No problem. Hurry up and exchange blood for your son, don't stay."

Yun Zhao said: "Uncle, why...why did you let the Pei family suffer together?"

Zhang Huaimin said: "Back then, my Yang family was dedicated to serving the country. For Xiao Yi, the whole family died. But the Pei family's gossip in front of King Ning made King Ning jealous, and my Yang family had to hand over you as a hostage. They Later, seeing that the momentum was not right, he quickly turned back to the Liu family, and separated the Yang family in front of Xiao Yi, if it wasn't for this, how could my Yang family have ended up in such a situation!"

Yun Zhao said: "It turns out...that's how it is."

He knew in his heart that the enmity with Pei's family could not be resolved, it could not be broken, and it became more involved from then on.

Zhang Huaimin's breathing became weaker and weaker, and hearing someone urging him outside, Yun Zhao knelt at the prison door, kowtowed three times, and then left.

He just got into the carriage, but he heard a loud shout from outside that someone was robbing the prison.He immediately understood that it was Pei Shang who had done something wrong. He wanted to go in and look again, but he was worried about Xiao Liang, so he just left in a carriage after all.

Xiao Liang had a very long dream. In the dream, his father, mother and concubine were all by his side. The third elder brother was holding the cock to shoot the snow crow, but he made trouble for him, and the whole family enjoyed themselves happily.In a blink of an eye, the bones of mother, concubine, third brother, and uncle were all in front of my eyes.As he walked and watched, he saw himself standing there with Xiao Cheng, Xiao Jue, Xiao Yunxiang's corpses under his feet, and Ji Lan kneeling beside him dying.

He woke up suddenly, but seeing Ji Lan looking at him with concern, he asked, "What time is it? Where's uncle?"

Ji Lan said: "Mr. Zhang...it has been three days since he was executed."

Xiao Liang asked: "How can I sleep for three days?"

It was only then that Ji Lan brought Yun Zhao back to Zhang Huaimin's blood and exchanged blood with him for treatment.

Xiao Liang said: "Where is my cousin now?"

Yun Zhao came in from the door and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoliang, I'm here."

Xiao Liang said: "Ji Lan, you go out, I want to have a few words with my cousin."

Seeing that he had no reaction to Zhang Huaimin's death, Ji Lan felt worried, and only glanced at Yun Zhao before pushing the door open.

Yun Zhao said: "Xiao Liang, you...don't feel anything anymore?"

Xiao Liang said: "Cousin, why don't I feel sad, sad, like a living dead? I want to cry, but it seems that I don't even have the intention to cry?"

Yun Zhao said: "The price of blood exchange is that you have to keep your emotions calm. Fortunately, the medicine only lasts for one year, so it's fine."

Xiao Liang said: "Cousin, I am obviously very angry in my heart, and I want to ask my father why he is so cruel, and I want to crash and die in front of my mother's concubine's monument. Concubine Lan for doing such a thing! I hate myself so much, I can't save anyone, but I have to be protected wholeheartedly by each of you! But I don't even feel hatred, and I didn't even feel a little excited when I was supported by Ji Lan just now. "

Yun Zhao said, "Don't let your imagination run wild, you will be fine in the future."

Xiao Liang said: "Cousin, do you think Uncle did it on purpose? He must have taken some strange medicine to make me angry, resentful, sad, and nothing. Just like me now, for you Everyone's fate cannot be changed in any way, and they can only watch everything happen."

Yun Zhao said: "Xiao Liang, don't do this!"

Xiao Liang suddenly stood up, smashed everything in the room to pieces, and shouted: "Why, why! I want to be angry! I am obviously angry, why are you so calm! I don't want to be calm!"

Yun Zhao quickly went up to hug him, and said, "Xiao Liang, listen to me, my cousin hopes that after this time, you can be the King of Qin in peace and stop thinking about those things. I won't be by your side in the future, You need to take care of yourself."

Xiao Liang said: "You want to go?"

Yun Zhaodao: "That day Pei Shang and I went to the prison, I went to see my uncle, and he went to see his family. Unexpectedly, Pei Shang took the opportunity and failed to rob the prison, so he ran away. Now that he is dead or alive, I want to find him."

Xiao Liang glanced at him, and said: "Cousin, you are really too dangerous in Qin Wang's mansion, it's better to leave. I'm afraid father won't trust me so easily with the matter of mother and concubine's imperial mausoleum. If he moves If you want to kill, at least I won't implicate you!"

Yun Zhao said: "No, you are not a threat to him, why is that?"

Xiao Liang said: "That day when my father announced me to enter the palace, it was obvious that he wanted to see how I would react when I saw my uncle. I really endured it too hard. My father is so suspicious, I can't sleep peacefully."

Yun Zhao looked at him, the overnight growth seemed too cruel.He didn't know if it was right for him to leave at this time, but after all he went to the prison to visit Zhang Huaimin, if he was recognized, the King of Qin/Mansion would not be able to go around.

Xiao Liang continued: "Pei Shang robbed the prison, I'm afraid it was a loophole intentionally let by the emperor, but since you said you want to find him, do you think he escaped?"

Yun Zhao said: "Yes, he escaped. All the assassins who robbed the prison died, and those who were caught also committed suicide. There is nothing to ask."

Xiao Liang said: "Father must want to catch someone and take action against Uncle Liu Guoji's family, but recently Concubine Liu Chen had a miscarriage, so it is not easy for him to do so in public, so naturally he has to use this matter as a fuss."

Yun Zhao said: "Concubine Liu Chen had her funeral yesterday, and now the whole of Beijing is at peace, just for you to live in peace and recuperate."

Xiao Liang said: "Cousin, how can Mr. Pei know that his uncle treats their Pei family like this? Are you looking for your own death if you go to him?"

Yun Zhao said: "I don't know, I just want to meet him. Actually, what can I do if I see him? Just like these few days, in the Prince Qin's residence, I have been relatively silent with him."

Xiao Liang said: "Cousin... If you can't find him, find a good place to live, and send someone to send a message to me when you have a chance in the future."

Yun Zhao said: "The thing I worry about the most is you. Seeing Ji Lan treat you like this now is considered infatuation. Cousin doesn't want to talk about your affairs, but the situation in Beijing and China is so complicated that you can't help yourself. You must think Drive more, nothing can be forced. I will leave tonight."

Xiao Liang said: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Yun Zhao said: "I was just waiting for you to wake up. Now that you are all right, I should leave naturally."

Xiao Liang said: "You go around the back door through the secret passage."

Yun Zhao nodded and backed out.Ji Lan then came in, but seeing Xiao Liang looking at him, she was a little puzzled.

Xiao Liang said: "I remember not long ago, the Grand Master wanted to marry you, is there such a thing?"

Ji Lan said: "Feng Mian..."

Xiao Liang said: "Jing Bo, why don't we get married separately and forget about each other."

Ji Lan never expected that he would say such a thing, and was immediately taken aback. She hurried up and grabbed his collar in excitement, refusing to let go.

Xiao Liang said: "The phoenix is ​​dormant, the giant whale is surging, one comes in the fire, the other goes in the water, how can we depend on each other?"
