The ferry boat enters Danshui, rushes along the diversion of Danshui to the Mai River, and arrives at Yutu, the capital of Landan Kingdom.Su Zhongming and others rode through the downtown area. When Wen Qian saw a sale of candied chestnuts on the street, she took a step back and turned around to buy a pack of candied chestnuts.After Su Zhongming found out, he immediately reined in his horse and called Wen Qian back.

"What are you shouting for! What are you shouting for! Why don't you just buy a bag of fried chestnuts..." Wen Qian replied irritably, holding a bag of fried chestnuts, and followed them.

After arriving at Prince Shi's mansion, Su Zhongming knocked on the door of the mansion, and soon the door opened, and a housekeeper came out.Seeing the unfamiliar face, the housekeeper asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?" Su Zhongming replied, "I'm looking for Princess Zhenhui." Immediately, she took out the family letter written by Shi Chaojing and handed it to her.

The housekeeper was literate, she glanced at the words on the front of the paper seal, and immediately understood, she hurriedly invited them into the mansion, asked them to wait in the gazebo in the small side courtyard, and then went up to the pavilion to inform Princess Zhenhui Shi Luoqiu .

Wen Qian sat, opened the bag of fragrant fried chestnuts, grabbed one, peeled the shell and ate it in front of everyone.Su Zhongming smelled the scent of chestnuts, couldn't help it for a while, and asked her to eat. At first Wen Qian refused, but thinking that this was a good opportunity to get close, she agreed instead, and peeled chestnuts with him to eat.

The housekeeper went upstairs, opened the half-closed door, walked in, and said to a girl sitting at the table by the window, "Princess, there are some young people with a letter from home, saying that they want See you." Shi Luoqiu was writing a poem, when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and a drop of ink fell on the paper as white as snow, and then he fainted.

Shi Luoqiu turned around, ignoring the drops of ink on the paper, and asked, "Young man? Who is it?" The housekeeper replied, "The young man with the family letter said his surname was Su, and he was from Wenguo." Shi Luoqiu hurriedly put down the pen and went downstairs with the housekeeper.She came to the gazebo and walked in. When Su Zhongming saw it, he got up immediately and handed her the family letter.

After Shi Luoqiu glanced at the words on the front of the paper envelope, he hurriedly opened the letter and sat down to read it. After reading it for a while, he asked Su Zhongming curiously, "Wen country is far away from here, just send a letter from home." Why do you have to come here by yourself?" Su Zhongming replied vaguely, "I... just came out and happened to pass by here."

Shi Luoqiu put the letter away, looked at Su Zhongming a few times, smiled subtly, and said, "This is the first time I've seen my aunt's son, but I'm rather disappointed. His facial features don't look exactly like the aunt I remember."

"Uh..." Su Zhongming opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say.Shi Luoqiu continued: "By the way, I don't know how my aunt is doing in Wenguo? Well, when she was in this house before, grandma, my parents, uncles and aunts didn't like her, and they despised her." Her mother is grandpa's maid, and I'm not allowed to call her, I secretly called her aunt."

Su Zhongming lowered his head and had no choice but to tell her the truth, "She...has passed away..." Shi Luoqiu was reporting extremely high hopes, but when he heard it, he couldn't believe it, "Passed? Why!" Su Zhongming said, "She was a good empress dowager, but it was all my fault... for leaving a beast in the palace, and that beast teamed up with others to force the palace while I was away. She would rather die than accept the forced palace, and committed suicide by taking poison..."

Shocked, Shi Luoqiu let out a soft 'ah', and the family letter fell from his hand. After a while, suppressing his sadness, he murmured, "The court...is really a dangerous place...everyone...intrigues..."

Wen Qian was eating fried chestnuts, glanced at the frowning Su Zhongming, then at the frowning Shi Luoqiu, then handed Shi Luoqiu the bag of fried chestnuts, "Freshly baked chestnuts, you can't eat them." Eat? There's still half of it, let's try it." Intent to smooth things over.Su Zhongming replied, "You finish eating by yourself, no one will snatch it from you."

At this moment, Shi Luoqiu noticed the girl sitting next to him, and asked, "Hey, which family's child is this?" Wen Qian answered first while peeling chestnut shells, "I picked it up." Su Zhongming said helplessly Added, "Uh... I adopted it."

After chatting for two or three cups of tea, the housekeeper came up and told Shi Luoqiu, "Princess, a young man came outside with a boy and said he wanted to see you." Luo Qiu was taken aback, "Who could this be?" Su Zhongming listened, and persuaded very generously: "Cousin, why not invite them in first, maybe there is something I want from you."

Shi Luoqiu immediately ordered the housekeeper, "Hurry up and invite them in, don't let my father bump into them." The housekeeper obeyed and went down again. After a while, she led two people back.

When Su Zhongming saw the two visitors, he was surprised and pleased at the same time, stood up and blurted out: "Why are you?!" Seeing that it was Su Zhongming, Yitian ran over happily, "Teacher! That's great, so you are here! General Yan chose the right place!"

"Yan Ying, you are not in Wen Country, why did you come to Landan Country from thousands of miles away?" Su Zhongming asked suspiciously.Yan Ying replied respectfully, "There are two reasons, my lord, please hear: one, the fourth prince forced the palace to usurp the throne, and two, the Yan family castle was lost from me."

Su Zhongming was shocked, "What's wrong with Yanjiabao?!" Yan Yingxiang said, "My brother is back, and I thought of the relationship between brother and sister, so I took him home and cleaned him up. Who knew that he came back for another purpose and forced me to death. Dad, you even locked me up and snatched the position of castle owner. Fortunately, in Yanjiabao, there was Uncle Zhong who took care of me all the time, and he let me out secretly. I escaped from Yanjiabao, on the way When I met this little ghost, we came together."

"Wen country can't go back, what should we do in the future?" Yitian asked.Su Zhongming turned his head away, and said: "I don't know, the worst imagining, maybe... is wandering? Or go to seek refuge in Huang Yuanguo, or, go to a place with me." What is the place, only Su Zhongming I and Yi Yeqing understand.

Yi Tian let out an 'oh', glanced at everyone present, counted them, and said strangely: "Hey? No, logically speaking, there should be five people at that time, plus this old senior, those two A hero, me and General Yan, there should be ten people, how come there are only eight people after counting? What about Lord Hou? Sister Chuncao? Could it be that they ran away secretly?"

He guessed wildly as a child, and suddenly, a handful of chestnut shells fell on his face. He cleaned his face, and after looking at the instigator, he realized that it was Wen Qian.

"Little hairy boy, what are you talking about! Although, I also hope it is like what you said... But! Others are indeed not like this, they are dead! Do you know what 'death' is!" Wen Qian walked away Going to his side, twisting one of his ears and cursing.

This chapter was originally to teach Yitian, but when Su Zhongming listened to it, he felt extremely uncomfortable. A few words of sadness gushed out from the bottom of his heart like a torrent, which made it difficult for him to restrain himself. Grabbing the skirt tightly.Yitian didn't notice the change in Su Zhongming's expression at all, and just kept screaming: "Let go of me! It hurts to death!"

Shi Luoqiu just looked at them, couldn't help laughing, and didn't notice Su Zhongming.Yi Yeqing glanced at Su Zhongming, noticed something strange, and asked: "Where is the lord not in a book?" As soon as Zhang Yin fell, it attracted everyone's attention.Su Zhongming didn't want others to know his emotions at the moment, so he forced a smile and lied, "It's almost noon, so I'm inevitably hungry."

Everyone believed it, and said: "Indeed, after such a story, I suddenly feel hungry." Shi Luoqiu said generously, "My father doesn't care about my small courtyard, you can eat here! I'm the ruler!"

Yitian was the happiest, and thanked him: "Thank you princess! I want big fish and meat!" Wen Qian patted his head again, "I only know how to eat, glutton!" Su Zhongming was thinking about something, but didn't smile.

Shi Luoqiu personally led Su Zhongming upstairs, gave him an empty room to rest, and ordered the maids in the courtyard to settle the others.By noon, the meal was ready, and everyone sat around the table, only Su Zhongming did not go downstairs.Shi Luoqiu suddenly felt strange, so he called the maid and ordered her to go upstairs to call Su Zhongming.

The maid obediently went upstairs, knocked on the door of Su Zhongming's bedroom, and urged: "Master Su, the princess told you to go down to eat, Mr. Su, it's time to eat." Su Zhongming lightly touched Mo Alin Tianduo's head, Ask A Lin Tianduo, "A Lin, do you want to eat?" A Lin Tianduo replied, "I want to eat with Dad."

"Father has no appetite, why don't you want to eat? Are you hungry too?" Su Zhongming said.A Lintian lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.Su Zhongming didn't want her to starve, so he reported her to his arms, then went to open the door, put it lightly in front of the maid, and said: "I don't want to eat, you take the child down first, just tell the princess that I am not fit Submit, tell them not to wait for me."

"Yes." The maid answered, took A Lin Tianduo's little hand, and led her downstairs.Su Zhongming also closed the door, walked back to the bed, sat quietly for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of the window being broken and shaking, followed by a gust of cold wind blowing into the room.

He stood up and came to the window, ready to close the window. As soon as he got close to the window, a trace of cold things hit his face, and he immediately caught it with his hands and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look. It was as white as frost and ice—— - It's snow!

It's snowing, and soon there will be a beautiful snow scene to enjoy, but Su Zhongming is not happy at all, but his mood is getting heavier and heavier.Not long after Li Xuan, Marquis Dingxue, died, snowflakes fell from the sky, undoubtedly adding another layer of desolation to the miserable situation.

He felt as if someone had stabbed his heart mercilessly, and he was in so much pain that he subconsciously covered his heart. He thought of Ding Xuehou's face, and remembered how happy he was when he was with that man before, and he couldn't help but cry. Wet, crystal clear teardrops slid down the cheeks.

At this time, in the dining room, Shi Luoqiu was surprised, "What? Don't want to eat? Did he say he didn't want to eat..." The maid replied, "Yes, princess, Mr. Su said that Shenzi is unwell." Shi Luoqiu I couldn't help wondering: he was the one who said he was hungry before, but now he said he didn't want to eat, what happened?

Wen Qian heard their dialogue, glanced at Yi Tian beside her, raised her hand and slapped him on the head.Yi Tian screamed in pain, "Why did you hit me on the head again this time!" Wen Qian grabbed his skirt and said in a fierce tone: "If you didn't open which pot you didn't open before, bring it up!" When it comes to the matter of the surname Li, he has already sat here properly!"

"It's none of my business, and it's not my responsibility." Yi Tian retorted in an innocent tone, pulling back his skirt with all his might.Wen Qian pointed to his nose, "You...! It's your responsibility, it's your nonsense!" Yan Ying almost persuaded her to stop, "In times of crisis, there will always be sacrifices. Dingxuehou's death is already The truth is, no matter who mentions it, it's the same."

When Wen Qian heard the words, she fell silent, and Yi Tian also had to tremble.The quarrel finally stopped. Suddenly, a maid rushed in and told Shi Luoqiu, "Princess, it's not good! Mr. Su, he... fell into the water!"

Shi Luoqiu was shocked when he heard the words, he couldn't care less to ask the details, and hurriedly followed the maid, and the others followed closely. When he reached the water lily pond, he really saw some of Su Zhongming's robes discarded on the bank. The surface of the water is also rippling with ripples one after another.

Shi Luoqiu braved the light snow and yelled into the pool: "Cousin Zhongming, what's on your mind, just tell your cousin, don't just choose this road of no return after thinking about it!" He hurriedly ordered the maid, "Hurry up! Find a helper to rescue him!" The maid looked at the water in the pool and said hesitantly, "Princess, it's so cold and it's snowing again, the water may be frozen to the bone, and Mr. Su may have already..."

Shi Luoqiu was anxious and helpless, he covered his mouth, as if he was about to cry, at this moment, the water mirror broke open, and a person appeared from it, making everyone jump.After Shi Luoqiu took a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I was shocked, I thought you were drowned in the bottom of the water, your brother is really naughty, why did you do this without saying anything?"

Su Zhongming climbed up from the water to the ground, pushed back some of the wet hair covering his face, wiped his face dry, and let out a soft breath.Shi Luoqiu picked up his clothes, put them on him, and asked him, "It's cold, why did you jump into the pool?"

"Cousin, I... I feel that I am in great pain and I can hardly breathe. Knowing that the water in the pool is cold, I want to freeze my heart and calm myself down." Su Zhongming replied frankly.Shi Luoqiu became extremely worried about him, and lost his head, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so baffled when we meet?"

Su Zhongming glanced at the others, and replied: "Cousin, what's on my mind... If I tell you alone, will you understand me?" She nodded and said, "You go back and change your clothes first, and we will have dinner together later, if you want to talk, just talk to me."

"En." Su Zhongming responded lightly, and went back to the dormitory alone.After a while, the maid brought over the dry clothes. Su Zhongming told the maid to step back, took off the wet clothes on his body, picked up the dry clothes, and frowned slightly when he saw them.

This is the Landan Kingdom, no matter the nobles or the common people, they naturally wear the clothes of the Landan Kingdom, and the clothes of the Landan Kingdom are mainly buttoned robes, with a raised collar and a row of neat strips on the placket. Buttons are shaped like knots, and there are various beautiful and complicated embroidery patterns on the placket, cuffs, and bottom of the cross-collar outer gown.

Su Zhongming had no choice but to wear it honestly. First he picked up a plain white silk gown and put it on, fastened the buttons one by one, then put on a cross-collared gown embroidered with honeysuckle and flamingo patterns, and finally put it on again. Put on a slightly thicker robe to keep out the cold.

He looked at the house, and suddenly felt that this place did not belong to him. He felt that even if he told Shi Luoqiu the sadness in his heart, this cousin might not really understand, and felt that her promise just now was just a perfunctory one.In the bottom of his heart, there was a voice telling him that if he wanted to abandon such sadness, he could only find a quiet place by himself.

So, without hesitation, he chose to leave alone temporarily, so he wrote a letter, stayed in this room, then picked up the Qiuxue sword, and was about to pick up the Qingluan sword again, when suddenly he realized something was wrong—— —His Qingluan Sword, the precious sword of Qingluan City, disappeared...

He froze for a moment, and hurriedly searched around, but couldn't find it anywhere. He recalled all possible places, but there was no whereabouts of it.Su Zhongming's mind went blank immediately, and he didn't know whether such dereliction of duty as 'losing the sword' would bring punishment to him.

At this moment, someone suddenly pulled his sleeve, he reacted, looked down, and found that it was A Lin Tianduo, and also found that what she was holding was the Qingluan Sword he was looking for.
