Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The three of them stared at each other in the hall, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

Seeing that Man Jiangxue still refused to let go, Xie Yijun had no choice but to agree: "All right, if you can get Bai Ling to come, it's not impossible."

Man Jiangxue said: "Then please don't worry about it, senior sister. Although Zhilan is dead, Xiaoqiu's current situation is still not safe. I will try my best to ensure that she is under my nose all the time. Since she is a disciple of the palace sect, she should Do your part for the palace gate, you are busy with official duties, and we will not refuse if there is a place for us."

How could Xie Yijun not understand this truth?He replied: "Okay, okay, I'm not the kind of person who waits for a small belly, but compared to others, I watched Yin Qiu grow up after all, and of course I put 1 hearts on her coming to Mingguang Palace. The matter of Zhilan and the disciples of the dark guards is frightening, how dare you trust anyone so easily?"

Yin Qiu said: "I will take care of the matter of the Mingguang Palace together with Bai Ling, the head of the palace can relax."

The three of them waited for a while before Ji Wanshu came out of the medical pavilion. Hearing that Lu Huaiwei had cried for a while, she fell into a drowsy sleep. Xie Yijun sighed and said, "Then come visit again another day. Tell the disciples to take good care of you." She looked at Ji Wanshu, "Since you are back, there is no need to go to Shangyuan City, and you can prepare for the enthronement ceremony with peace of mind."

Ji Wanshu remained silent and just nodded.

Several people left here together, and each went in different directions. Seeing that Ji Wanshu and Xie Yijun were walking far away, Yin Qiu asked, "Did the uncle just want to agree to the head? I haven't contacted my adoptive father yet." Come on, you can’t go to the Mingguang Palace at this time.”

"I was negligent and forgot about it," Man Jiangxue took Yin Qiu's hand, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Yin Qiu let out a long sigh, and took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve: "Uncle, what is this?"

Man Jiangxue took the medicine bottle, smelled it, and said, "The antidote?"

"Well," Yin Qiu said, "I really didn't expect that the bracelet that Senior Sister Ye gave me was not strung with gold beads? I don't know if there is an antidote hidden in it, or a special medicine she made with her own blood. When talking with Meng Jing, I accidentally dropped the bracelet into the medicine pot, I'm afraid I won't find it in my life."

Man Jiangxue didn't seem surprised to hear this, and said with a normal expression: "Then we'll wait for Young Master Fan's movements."

Yin Qiufu put away the medicine bottle again, and said: "Fortunately, I have been wearing that bracelet, and I forgot to take it off these days, but the antidote is already there, but I don't know how my adoptive father is, I hope he will contact me as soon as possible. "

Man Jiangxue said: "Don't worry, you are not a vegetarian if you want to come to Brahma Heart Valley. No news right now is the best news."

"Now I can only think like this," Yin Qiu said, "I have to go back to Jingyue Peak as soon as possible. I want to write a letter and ask Duan Ning to help rescue Fu Xiang."

As soon as she said this, without much explanation, Man Jiangxue had already thought about the relationship between the Duan family and Mingyue Tower in the flip of her mind.

"Is this what Meng Jing thought of?"

Yin Qiu replied: "It's her. Meng Jing is thoughtful and has a wider perspective than me. If she doesn't mention it this time, I really can't think of Duan Ning."

The two walked along the palace wall to the mountain road leading to Jingyue Peak. There were many wild daffodils growing in the grass on both sides of the stone steps. Man Jiangxue bent down to pick one, and dusted off the dew on it. Pinned it to Yin Qiu's temple, and said: "Actually, when the senior sister in charge was an important person, I wanted to recommend Meng Jing. He has a good literary talent and knowledge. He is not easy to go down the mountain when he stays in the palace. He just happens to do some civil work."

Yin Qiu approached Man Jiangxue, looked at himself carefully through her eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you mention it?"

The mountain wind blew past, bringing a faint fragrance of flowers. Man Jiangxue looked down at Yin Qiu, who was close at hand, and said: "He has a heart disease, and he has been too tired for a while, so he should rest more. It can be expected that Liuli Peak will always be handed over to her in the future, so I just take this opportunity to hone it more."

Yin Qiu and her stared at each other for a while, then stepped back to distance themselves, and said, "Uncle Master knows what Meng Jing wants to say to me, right?"

When Man Jiangxue heard this, she knew that Meng Jing was hesitant, and she didn't dare to confess her heart to Yin Qiu, so she replied: "It's not convenient for him to say things for me, and it's not convenient for me to do it for you, so you just pretend to be nothing." I know, don't ask."

If it weren't for Meng Jing's intention to detoxify Yin Qiu with her own life, Man Jiangxue would never let Yin Qiu and Meng Jing be alone for so long today. Although she can't control the affairs of young people, Yin Qiu is already with her How could Man Jiangxue turn a blind eye to those who showed affection to Yin Qiu?But if this person is Meng Jing, Man Jiangxue can be magnanimous and give him a chance to fulfill his wish, but if he retreats in spite of the difficulties and chooses to keep silent, then there will never be a second time in the future, and this matter should be planned Last period.

Yin Qiu's heart is like a cat scratching. There is something between Man Jiangxue and Meng Jing that she doesn't know, and the two of them are still unwilling to tell her. Let's look at Meng Jing's performance today and Man Jiangxue's reaction. The matter was not a trivial matter, Yin Qiu was kept in the dark and couldn't get an answer, so he was really a little uncontrollably upset.

"Forget it, I won't ask," Yin Qiu jumped up the steps, leaving Man Jiangxue behind, "I have a little secret in the future, and I won't tell my uncle!"

Man Jiangxue was very steady, and followed him casually, saying: "It's been a while since I lost my temper, you have a lot of little secrets, and you haven't told me every single one of them. .”

Yin Qiu turned around and stared at her: "Isn't the uncle the same? My mother likes you, how long have you kept it from me? How many years!"

Man Jiangxue said: "You have kept the matter of your private relationship with Young Master Fan from me for several years."

Yin Qiu choked, not to be outdone, and said: "Then you have to keep this matter from me about Meng Jing forever, but I have nothing to hide from you forever."

"Really?" Man Jiangxue reached out to grab her, and the daffodils on Yin Qiu's temples fell on her shoulders, "Then Meng Jing is a daughter, don't you plan to keep it from me forever?"

Yin Qiu was startled, and said in amazement: "You... how do you know?!"

"When she first entered the palace, I sent the disciples of the hidden guards to watch her, to see if she would trouble you," Man Jiangxue said, "Later, I found out that she always went to the women's courtyard to take a bath in the middle of the night, which also shows that What?"

Yin Qiu couldn't believe it: "It turns out that my uncle knew about it a long time ago!"

Man Jiangxue put the daffodils on Yin Qiu's shoulders back on, looked up at her and said, "It's even."

Yin Qiu was stupefied for a moment: "What kind of balance is this? You know that Meng Jing is a girl, but I still don't know what she wants to say to me."

"Why is it not even? If I don't mention this matter, you still have to keep hiding it from me. I know it's my own ability," Man Jiangxue said, "If you want to be capable, just give Meng Jing's mouth to you. Pry it open. Otherwise, you will find out another thing I have hidden from you, and tell me?"

Yin Qiu couldn't tell.

Man Jiangxue saw that she was deflated and had an unreasonable attack, so she grabbed Yin Qiu's knee and hugged her, and said, "Okay, let's not mention this, things should be prioritized, don't you still have to write to Duan Ning?" letter?"

Yin Qiu said, "I'm so angry."

Man Jiangxue shook her and said, "I know you are angry, am I coaxing you?"

Yin Qiu put his arms around her neck and said, "I'm not capable, I don't want you to coax me."

"Oh," Man Jiangxue said, "then don't coax, just get down and walk by yourself."

Yin Qiu angrily bit the side of her neck.

"You're still biting, so I don't want to hug you anymore," Man Jiangxue made a gesture to put Yin Qiu down, "I don't want to carry you back and be seen by my disciples, and you will be shy again."

Yin Qiu immediately hugged her tightly, his legs stretched and he refused to land, and shouted: "I won't go down!"

Man Jiangxue said: "Get down quickly, the skirt will get dirty."

Yin Qiu picked up the corner of the skirt and complained: "Uncle Shi is too good, you are the one who is hiding something from me, and you made me angry, and you still refuse to coax me."

"Didn't you let me coax you?" Man Jiangxue said, "Why is everything my fault?"

Yin Qiu said, "It's your fault."

Man Jiangxue was amused, so she still held Yin Qiu firmly, and said as she went up the steps: "Okay, you have the final say." She turned her head and kissed Yin Qiu, and said, "Xiao Qiu is right."

Yin Qiu didn't move or speak.

Man Jiangxue asked: "Are you still angry?"

Yin Qiu said, "One more thing."

Man Jiangxue kissed her again: "What about now?"

Yin Qiu said, "There is still a little."

Man Jiangxue stopped altogether, kissed Yin Qiu until his cheeks flushed, and said, "Can you forgive me?"

"Hmm..." Yin Qiu said in a soft voice, "I forgive you."

Man Jiangxue laughed twice, carried Yin Qiufei up to the end of the stone steps, passed through a patch of red maple leaves, and entered Shen Xing Hall calmly under the surprised eyes of his disciples.Both of them were covered with moisture from the forest. When Yin Qiu was laid down on the bed, the narcissus in her hair also fell into the cloud quilt.

Man Jiangxue bit her.

Lips and teeth lingered on the side of the neck, biting the fair skin with red marks, Yin Qiu couldn't help dodging, begging for mercy: "Don't bite, I'm ashamed to see people..."

"Then I won't see you," Man Jiangxue refused to let her go, "Besides me, you don't need to see anyone else."

As the relationship deteriorates and deepens, Man Jiangxue's performance in this love affair is becoming more and more different from the past. She has never deliberately avoided taboos, and has never been ashamed to speak about her relationship with Yin Qiu. In the time when only the two of them get along, she will not be stingy to reveal her heart to Yin Qiu.

She is always taking the initiative and guiding. When necessary, she will use actions and words to express many emotions to Yin Qiu.

Like now.

The door of the palace was closed long ago, and the curtains were also tightly covered. The sound of deliberately light footsteps from the disciples came from outside. Man Jiangxue closed the window with internal force without looking back. Yin Qiu raised his upper body and saw a man on the window. A figure who probed his head and listened attentively.

Yin Qiu's heart was beating like a drum, and he quickly whispered, "Master, why did you close the window? Now I really have no face to face anyone!"

Man Jiangxue raised his eyebrows: "Could it be possible to open the window for them to see?"

"That's not what I meant!" Yin Qiu said, "You're trying to cover up!"

Man Jiangxue said, "Okay, then I'll drive."

Yin Qiu quickly pulled her back: "No way!"

Man Jiangxue said: "Then I will drive them away."

Yin Qiu's face turned even redder: "Also...not good either!"

Man Jiangxue smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Yin Qiu was in a dilemma, so he had to push Man Jiangxue away, trot to the desk and sit down, trying to calm down and said: "I...I still have business to do, so I won't quarrel with you."

Man Jiangxue just let Yin Qiu go and didn't bother her anymore. The disciples outside the window eavesdropped for a while and left without hearing anything.Man Jiangxue was grinding for Yin Qiu, and when Yin Qiu finished writing the letter, she resumed her seriousness and said, "You should go back to your room in the next few days, and Young Master Fan might send someone to look for you, it's best not to miss it."

Yin Qiu put the letter paper in an envelope, nodded upon hearing the words, and said, "With the antidote, I don't worry much about foster father, even Fu Xiang's matter is still a bit tricky, and I don't know if Duan Ning will agree to save her. , this matter depends on Master Duan's intention."

Man Jiangxue said: "If they also feel powerless, then we can only see how Meng Wugui will deal with it."

Yin Qiu said: "If Meng Wugui can't take care of himself and can't protect Fu Xiang, then I have nothing else to do. I can only go to Jinhuai City to help Fu Xiang find out the truth. As long as I don't get in touch with Meng Wugui, that person should be fine." Hurry to embarrass me."

Man Jiangxue said: "This is the worst policy."

Yin Qiu dripped wax on the seal, and sighed: "I hope Fu Xiang can turn the bad luck into good fortune this time, and let's be safe."

·

Fu Xiang was sitting against the wall, reading the report in his hand by the dim light of the small oil lamp above his head.

The confinement room is not a prison, it is very tidy inside, during the days when he was locked in, Fu Xiang tidied himself up very well, his whole body was even cleaner than when he practiced hard in the secret tunnel.When she worked hard in the secret way, she had no time to bathe and change clothes, and she had to wash well before going to bed every time she went back to her room to rest, but here, she didn't even sweat, but her movements were restricted and she had no freedom.

Outside the door stood a few serious-looking Mingyuelou disciples, and Fu Cen sat on the other side, looking at Fu Xiang expressionlessly.

"The Luo family has already reported the case to the government, and all the crimes written on the complaint are your crimes. I have been suppressing the relationship for a long time, do you admit it or not? Is it public or private, I have given you a choice, I can hardly be comforted by the Luo family, and the officials have called several times, and I have no patience to deal with it, so please give me an accurate answer as soon as possible."

Fu Xiang smirked, and tore up the report in his hand without saying a word, saying, "The Jianghu is a matter of the Jianghu, what are the reporters doing?"

Seeing her actions, Fu Cen endured it, and did not blush with her on the spot, and said, "You got involved in a life lawsuit, so what kind of quackery is this? If you kill someone, you will have to see an official. They have to go back to the government, not to mention that the Luo family is a commoner, what can they do when they encounter this kind of thing but report to the officials? How long can you wait?"

"Who saw me kill someone?" Fu Xiang's eyes were slightly cold, "I don't believe you haven't thought about all kinds of strange things about it these days. Someone wants to deal with Mingyue Tower and kill you. Good luck, you will give it to me indiscriminately." Conviction is in the hands of others. Father said, if this is not a grievance in the world, what else can it be?"

She was right. Ever since he slapped Fu Xiang and imprisoned her that day, Fu Cen has calmed down very quickly. Some people want him to have no successors, and Mingyue Tower has no successors. This is really not something that can be solved by seeing an official , He was being followed by someone, to be precise, it was Mingyue Tower who was being followed by someone.

"I, Fu Cen, have been open and honest all my life. I have made many friends in the world, and I have never had any enemies." Fu Cen got up, walked up to Fu Xiang and looked at her, "It's not so much that that person wants to deal with Mingyue Tower, but that he It was aimed at you, who did you have a grudge with? You evil, Mingyue Tower was implicated by you, what evil did you do behind my back?"

"Thousands of mistakes are all my fault." Fu Xiang also stood up, the shackles on his feet jingling, "If you are in such a difficult situation, you can hand me over. What's the use of being locked up here? I had a miscarriage, and the son you've been thinking of is gone. The Luo family is reluctant to let me go, and is about to send me to the guillotine. Anyway, you treat me like nothing, and you can't find out who the real culprit is. It's better to let the officials take me away as soon as possible. You kill relatives with righteousness, loyalty and righteousness, and Mingyue Tower will gain a good reputation. As for the continuation of the incense, let the young lady give birth to another one. If she can't give birth after this incident, you can marry another one. The young lady of Jinhuai City is up to you. No matter what happens to Mingyue Tower, there is no need to worry about no one inheriting it."

Her words were sharp, and she didn't take Fu Cen seriously. Even if Fu Cen didn't want to argue with her, he couldn't help being angry at this moment, and scolded: "Presumptuous! In your eyes, being a father is such a cruel and heartless person." ? If I really treated you like nothing, you would have been killed by the Luo family at this time! I have worked hard for my father and wanted to ask you clearly, but you have this attitude, you just want to die like this!"

Fu Xiang laughed: "Cruel-hearted...don't you? Since you sent me to my relative's house and ignored you, you have already memorized the words "cruel-hearted and ruthless". I only hate that I am a woman. He is a man, today, he will not end up like this."

Every sentence she said poked Fu Cen's pain, which was very different from her humble and humble appearance in the past. Fu Cen felt chills in his heart, but he had to admit that what she said was not unreasonable.

"As a father, I have treated you badly, but I have tried my best to make up for it over the years. One size counts for one size. I know that you have resentment in your heart, but now is not the time to talk about those things. Right now your life is the most important thing. Explain the matter to me clearly, how can I, as a father, save you?"

Hearing what he said, Fu Xiang was silent for a moment.

Explain clearly, how to explain clearly to him?Do you want to tell him that you are also the jackal staring at Mingyue Tower?She wanted to help Meng Wugui get revenge, so she had to swallow her anger and study hard, in order to get Fu Cengao to take a look at her and pass on the position of landlord to her.There is almost nothing behind this that he can be frank with him. Even if Fu Cen has already realized that Fu Xiang was framed by someone, he doesn't know anything about Fu Xiang's concealment. If Fu Xiang doesn't say it, He has no direction and can't save her.

The son he wanted is gone, and the daughter is not a good stubble. Mingyuelou is facing a crisis because of the dream of no return. Certainly, he would not let go of such a good opportunity. Nangong Min was probably ready to make a move, but Fu Cen was deeply in the whirlpool but didn't know it, and no one could tell him the truth.

Fu Xiang hated him, but at this moment he sympathized with him.

When will these grievances and intrigues and intrigues end?When will she be able to live the life she really wants to live?

There was a faint sadness in his heart, Fu Xiang maintained the indifference on his face, and said softly: "Dare to ask what's the matter with the public, and what's the matter with the private?"

Hearing that she was still asking this question, Fu Cen yelled: "Is there even a need to ask?!" He paced around, feeling very anxious, "Although your personal servant girl has disappeared, everyone around your mother knows that it is her. She gave the purse to your mother, so now you have all the witnesses and evidence, and if it is public, you will be sent to the government to kill people for your life. According to the law, you will lose your head! As for private, that is what the head of the Luo family means. Yes, I not only want to expel you from Mingyue Tower, but also ask your mother's useless younger brother to come to Mingyue Tower to find a job in charge, and I also want me to swear never to marry again. No matter how harsh the conditions are when something like this happens No matter how hard you push me, I will be the one who is wronged, and I can't refuse. If I want to protect your life, but don't give the Luo family some compensation, then if the news spreads, my Fu Cen's reputation and Mingyue's Where is Lou's face?"

Fu Xiang remained silent.

After a long while, she finally said tiredly: "Then you won't protect me, you will sever the father-daughter relationship with me, and expel me from Mingyue Tower."

When Fu Cen heard this, his suppressed anger rose again, and he scolded: "What kind of person did you provoke! The matter has developed to this point, you would rather leave Mingyue Tower than tell me the truth, are you right? There is no attachment to this family at all? Are you really going to be one of those people who betray their relatives and bear infamy!"

Fu Xiang bit his lip, and said coldly: "My departure is only beneficial to Mingyue Tower, and has no disadvantages. You and I are a father and daughter. Although there is no emotion, there is also an inseparable blood relationship. This is all I can do. Don't Don't ask too many questions. The more you know, the more dangers Mingyue Tower will face. You regard Mingyue Tower as more important than life. You will be able to settle down, and you can tell the head of the Naluo family that I am going to be private."

At this point in the conversation, Fu Xiang had already expressed his determination. The father and daughter could not reach an agreement no matter what, and finally had to break up unhappy.

Fu Cen walked away angrily, but he didn't agree immediately, the figures disappeared one after another, and the door was closed again.

The room returned to tranquility, Fu Xiang's face showed deep pain, and she leaned back against the wall and sat on the floor again. She raised her head, and the moonlight outside the skylight was so bright, but it couldn't shine into her heart at all.

Master, I'm sorry...

Occupied by deep guilt, Fu Xiang turned off the light and wrapped himself in the quilt in the dark.

·

"Have you heard?"

Outside the confinement room, directly under the skylight, two figures, one tall and one short, were hidden among the clumps of plum branches. Their low voices were blocked by the cold wind, making them inaudible.

Afu hugged her bow with a frown, sat on the ground and nodded.

Meng Wugui lifted the flowering branches and walked into the depths of the plum grove. Afu followed her sullenly. After the two had walked for a long time, Meng Wugui said slowly: "It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days is worth one time. I have raised you for so long. When it's time to use you, you just want to back down," she looked back at Afu, her eyes were cold, "the love between master and apprentice and the kindness of nurturing, after all, can't compare with that weak blood relationship."

Afu didn't dare to vent her anger, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Senior sister is also very embarrassed..."

"Is she in trouble?" Meng Wugui sneered, "Do you think Fu Cen is really worried about her? He is only worried about Mingyue Tower. Your senior sister has always been soft-hearted. After hearing Fu Cen's few words, she forgot who she is. Cen and I chose Fu Cen, so tell me, who should I choose?"

Afu lowered her head, not daring to answer.

"If she leaves Fu's house, it will be difficult for me to get Mingyue Tower," Meng Wugui said, "so she can't leave, she is destined to be the landlord."

Afu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master really wants... But what if Senior Sister finds out and she hates you?"

"She has no right to hate me," Meng Wugui's face turned cold, "she doesn't even have the right to betray me, and if she wants to make such a choice now, if she abandons me, then she can't blame me."

"Master! Let's meet with Senior Sister!" Afu said anxiously, "Let's make it clear in person. Maybe Senior Sister was just pretending to deal with Master Fu just now? I believe Senior Sister, she must still be on our side! "

Meng Wugui snorted and said: "You still don't understand? No matter who her heart is for, there is only one way to solve the predicament in front of her. I will not change my mind no matter what I say about this matter. She usually flees before the battle, so let me tell you as soon as possible, so I can clean up the door in time, so that you don't get in the way!"

Afu's face was pale, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.

"I don't mind if she hates me, and I don't mind if she wants to betray me," Meng Wugui's eyes were cold, and he said loudly, "But she has to pay for it, and I want her to know that the person who betrayed me , will definitely not end well!"
