Hearing Master's name, Die Ying's eyes lit up instantly, thinking that Master's wife is probably safe.

And when he heard Chi Qing's name, Xie Niannian's heart thumped. He only felt that there was a high probability that he would be implicated by him. What should he say if Chi Qing asked?

She shook her head to get these irrelevant thoughts out of her mind, and listened carefully to the wind and grass outside.

It was clear that there was such a big battle, but the patrolling guards did not respond. It was obvious that some people blocked this place.

The streets of Fengjing were very cold and silent, only the wind slammed into the cracked lantern, and half of the paper was torn unbearably, and finally completely torn.The boat was involved in the turbulent undercurrent, and only now was it possible to glimpse a corner of the turbulent waves.

The one who holds the sword still holds the sword, and the one who holds the sword refuses to return it to its sheath.

The exposed sharpness has not yet subsided, but he has to stop his movements because of the sudden appearance of a third party, and Gu Chen's "Late Qing".

"despair."

With a very slight sound, something fell from a high place, as light as a bird, and didn't even stir up much dust.

Then there was no more movement.

But Xie Niannian knew that Chi Qing walked silently.

She was frightened by this habit several times, and later when Chi Qing approached again, she would deliberately make some noises to let herself know.

"Chi Qing, you did it on purpose!"

Until now, he thought that Gu Chen and Chi Qing were acting together to get rid of him for the Empress.

The man's sullen reprimands failed to get Chi Qing to speak, Xie Niannian moved his position carefully, trying to see where this man was through the gaps in the pile of debris.

Coincidentally, when she looked past the two people who were facing each other, she saw the figure standing with a knife.

Cloaked in the heavy night, his eyes were a little slack, without any light or shadow, as if he was in a trance.

But Xie Niannian understood at a glance that Chi Qing's attention was not on Gu Chen and the two at all, but was farther away.This facing angle, this position, the answer is ready to come out.

So Die Ying watched in bewilderment as Xie Niannian suddenly dodged the gap and slid to his side, wrapping up his clothes, as if he had seen a terrifying scene.

She couldn't help but started to worry, and wrote on Xie Niannian's hand to ask: What's going on?

Xie Niannian shook his head, with an indescribable expression, and wrote: Chi Qing saw it.

Die Ying didn't understand, this shouldn't be a good thing, why would Mistress hold her forehead and sigh sadly.

Because of Chi Qing's silence, the atmosphere became more and more dull, overwhelming and overwhelming.

In the end, it was Gu Chen's brisk tone that broke the silence: "It's wrong, it's true that I turned against her, and the siege of Bailu Mountain is true, it seems that she knows it very well."

"From the beginning to the end, you are the only ones who have been kept in the dark."

The truth is obviously not so easy for people to accept. The commander of the Forbidden Army was stunned, and he hadn't figured out the relationship.Gu Chen made a move in an instant, the soft sword moved like a dragon, and went straight to the vital point.

She took advantage of this gap to strike first, and when the man tried to fight back, she realized that Gu Chen had reservations before.

Now Gu Chen's offensive is even more fierce, and he needs to use all his strength to resist it.He tried his best to dismantle Gu Chen's tricks, and he had to pay attention to Chi Qing's movements from the corner of his eye.

Just as he was worried, when Chi Qing raised his hand suddenly, his heart, which was already hanging high in the air, was pulled, and even the speed of dodging was half a beat slower.But Gu Chen had already swept his sword across——

It wasn't until the white sword light flashed across his eyes and a sharp pain came from his neck that he began to regret that he shouldn't be distracted.

But it was too late.

Drops of blood slipped from the tip of the sword and bloomed on the ground again.Gu Chen took a beautiful sword flower, and added leisurely: "Of course, it's true that I want to kill you."

The important officials of the court were killed, but the people present didn't respond. As for the guards he brought, they died early.

The night was silent again.

Gu Chen retracted his sword and leaned against the rut with his arms folded, showing no sign of trying to escape.

Tianshu Division was waiting for Chi Qing's order, but Chi Qing just casually walked across the street, took off the butterfly blade, and turned a blind eye to Gu Chen.

"You don't have anything to say?" She smiled softly, even if there were corpses lying around on the ground, she could still chat without paying attention.

No one answered, from the beginning till now, Chi Qing hadn't said a word.I don't know if I don't want to say it, or I don't know how to say it.

Xie Niannian was very anxious, anxious for Chi Qing.There is a kitten sharpening its claws in my heart, and the sound of stinging and stinging is flustered.

Come on, why can't we have a good talk?If Chi Qing really didn't care, why would he choose this way to end.

Gu Chen didn't wait for Chi Qing's questioning or confession, so he said to himself: "I know you will definitely delegate power to me in the last step, this is your plan, and it is also my opportunity.

Use Tianshu Division's eyes and ears and force to get rid of the commander of the Forbidden Army, and then say that everything was ordered by you.

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, as long as you catch Xie Niannian, you will confess your crime willingly. "

"It's just that it failed in the end." She said with a sigh of pity.

The undisguised malice in Gu Chen's words made Xie Niannian afraid for a while. If she was arrested, Chi Qing might really do something to take the blame for others.

After finishing speaking, Chi Qing finally looked at Gu Chen with condensed eyes.

"That explosion was also your plan."

"Yes." Gu Chen admitted generously, raised his chin towards the corpse of the commander of the imperial army, and said in a disdainful tone: "Is it the evidence he gave? Of course they were taken out by themselves.

The virtuous king was in a hurry, so I taught them to take advantage of the Ministry of Industry to steal the gunpowder, then transport it to the abandoned courtyard, and smuggle it into the palace through Ximen. "

She spread her hands jokingly: "If someone finds out, just ignite it with a fire arrow, maybe you can take away a few of your people. Who knew it was you?"

"Gu Chen, there are still many dwellings there." Chi Qing's voice was deep, cold and piercing.

But it was like throwing a hot stone into cold water, boiling Gu Chen's already chaotic emotions to a boil.

There was no smile on Gu Chen's face.

"So what, people are not equal.

Talent, appearance, family background and wealth.How many people have exhausted their lives to get what they can't get, it's just common to you. "

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but she laughed at herself: "And I am the daughter of a guilty minister, the adopted daughter left by the Chi family with kindness, so I should assist you and work for the Chi family with all my heart."

"I did think so when I first came here."

Gu Chen actually remembered that when she and her mother had no time to restrain their father and brother's corpses, they were driven onto the road of exile.

Along the way, she was short of food and clothing, and would be whipped if she was not careful. She was held in her mother's arms and asked what happened in horror.

The only answer to her was the endless tears of her mother.

Later, a big man came to the exile team, and she was dragged by her mother to kneel in front of the big man, still ignorant.

In the old memories, the mother who was always dressed elegantly and gracefully, let the sudden change destroy her strength of character. At this moment, her back is bent and her hair is in a mess.

The mother couldn't hide her grief, and she begged the man in front of her with tears in her eyes: "My lord, I know that the Chen family has committed a lot of crimes. My husband and son deserve what they deserve."

She spoke with great difficulty, as if she had thorns in her throat, crying blood every word.

"But my daughter is still young, and she can't stand the bitter cold on the frontier. My lord, I beg you!"

The crime is heinous, and the crime deserves it.It was the words that Gu Chen remembered most clearly.

So when he came to Chi's house, he was cautious and did not dare to go beyond the rules.

She took care of Chi Qing, who was a few years younger than herself, with fear and sincerity. Even though she later worshiped Chi's father as her teacher, she still felt that she was the daughter of a criminal minister and inferior to others.

Just like the new name Chi's father gave her, it's just a speck of dust.

Unlike Chi Qing, who was born noble, living arrogantly and recklessly.

The aristocratic family laughed at her for being a commoner, but she was only able to go to the imperial school because she climbed a high branch. She didn't dare to refute, so she could only bear it silently.

But when Chi Qing frowned, those people fell silent.

The girl was still young, but she was full of momentum. She put the knife on the table with a "slap", which made people dare not ignore it: "I told you, she is my senior sister. If you don't understand, don't blame me for doing it."

Whether it was the son of the commander of the Imperial Army or the heir of the royal family, if Chi Qing hit him, he would hit him, and she would not be the one who came to apologize in the end.

Chi Qing is most often praised by his master for poetry and calligraphy, and Chi Qing is still the first in riding and archery martial arts.She stayed up late at night to practice her sword moves, and Chi Qing could learn them just by looking at them.

The gap between her and Chi Qing is like dust and pearls.

I thought this was the case in my life.Until inadvertently, she found the files of the former Chen family in Tianshu Division's library.

Gu Chen recalled those past events, the curvature of the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes.

"But, but..." Her eyes moved slightly, and she looked straight at Chi Qing, as if she wanted to nail him to the wall.

"But my family was ruined, didn't you do it?

What a heinous crime, it's just because people speak lightly, they are forcibly charged with crimes! "

"Why can you be held in the hands of others, but I can't even remember the appearance of my father and brother? Why should you be able to sit in a high position, but I should be bullied because of my status? Chi Qing, tell me why ?”

Gu Chen pressed on step by step, the red eyes at the corners added a bit of madness, but the person she questioned didn't even change his expression.

She suppressed the pain in her chest, and smiled miserably: "You are always like this, looking aloof. Yes, you and I are people from two worlds. You have to protect the glory of the Chi family, and you have to do your best for Zhao Zhuoyu. You are high-spirited, Then why don't you want to move these aristocratic families?

Is it because you are afraid that things will be exposed and ruin the Chi family's reputation, or is it because they have no threat to you?

You asked me why I placed gunpowder in the city, but what about those who were implicated by you and died?

Chi Qing, how much better are you than me! "

"enough!"

Gu Chen's aggressive questioning was suddenly interrupted, but it was not Chi Qing.It was a crisp, clear female voice.

It's Xie Nian Nian.

She couldn't help being ridiculed so much for her beloved, and jumped out of her hiding place as soon as her head got hot, without even holding back the overlapping shadow.

Before Xie Niannian could stand still, he was pulled behind by the extremely quick Chi Qing.But she pulled Chi Qing away again, both inwardly and outwardly disgusted: "If you don't know how to speak, let me come."

What to protect yourself, what not to be caught by Gu Chen, all of them were thrown to the back of your mind, and all you think about now is to show your head for Chi.

"What glory, what reputation. You have done so many things in her name, can she clarify once? If she is only doing things for Zhao Zhuozhi, how about taking her own life over and over again?!"

Xie Niannian frowned, a soreness welled up in his nasal cavity, and felt that the scene in front of him was ridiculous and exasperating.

"You think Chi Qing is superior, have you ever asked Chi Qing what he thinks?

Regardless of her own injuries, she wanted to avenge her subordinates, and tried her best to protect all the people she cared about under her wings.Once, you were also the one protected by her. "

"How do you know that she doesn't want to be an enemy of the family for you? Has Chi Qing ever stopped you since she knew the truth?"

Xie Niannian even took a few steps forward, and the meaning of mourning even overflowed from the sentence.

"Obviously, as long as two people have a good talk, it can be resolved. Why do you want to speculate and suspect so much?"

What she said was all the truth, and she really felt it was a pity.

If the two of them could talk about it earlier, perhaps there would not be the rivalry between the same sects and the confrontation of swords and swords today.

But before Gu Chen could reply, Xie Niannian was dragged back by Chi Qing again.

This time, it was directly pulled into his arms, being tightly protected, with the appearance of refusing to let go at all.

She could feel the arms around her body tightening gradually, she raised her head to meet Shang Chiqing's trembling eyes and tightly pursed lips,

Xie Niannian, who had Chi Qing's slight expression of level ten, understood it instantly. Chi Qing was angry and also nervous.Shrunk into Chi Qing's arms with a guilty conscience, Xie Niannian didn't dare to speak anymore.

Douying didn't know when to stand up, holding his sword with a serious face.

"Heh." Gu Chen raised a gentle smile, but he didn't see the hysteria just now: "After the siege at Bailu Mountain, I have no way out."

As soon as the voice changed, she brushed the hair from the side of her face behind her ears, and said coolly: "Xie Niannian, if you die, Chi Qing will really go crazy."

"I should have arranged a robbery early, so as to save a lot of trouble today."

She said such a thing in front of Chi Qing, it was a naked provocation.For an ordinary person, Chi Qing would have unceremoniously drawn out his knife and prepared to strike.

However, Chi Qing just lowered his eyes and hugged Xie Niannian, and finally said: "If I do it all over again, I won't change anything. But I will ask you out for dinner from time to time, and talk about the moon in Yinshi, the kite that can't be mended, master. I can't practice the professor's piano, and I don't know how to respond to others' kindness."

The voice was very soft, but enough for Gu Chen to hear clearly.

"Put her in the prison of Tianshu Division." After Chi Qing gave the order, he held Xie Niannian expressionlessly to take her home.

Xie Niannian even looked back a few times, Gu Chen stood where he was, and didn't resist at all in the face of the people surrounding him.

The night was as cold as water, but Xie Niannian felt that the person holding him was even colder.

She seems to have returned to the time when we first met, separated by a layer of glass, so far away.

Xie Niannian shook his hand, softened his voice and said coquettishly, "Don't be angry."

But Chi Qing didn't respond positively, and asked instead: "Why are you here?"

"Well, let's go for a walk to digest food."

Xie Niannian was very guilty, she lacked breath in her speech, and her eyes began to wander elsewhere. She was not good at lying.

Chi Qing said coldly: "Double Shadow."

The child whose name was called was shocked and tried to admit his mistake with his hands behind his back.But Xie Niannian took the lead.

She pawed on Chi Qing's body like a koala, rubbing Chi Qing's clothes pitifully, rubbing the corners of her eyes until they turned red, making her look pitiful.

"It's not Duoying's fault, I insisted on coming out to find you."

Chi Qing had no choice but to tear Xie Niannian off her body. Seeing that Xie Niannian's eyes were red, she hurriedly made amends: "You can't walk while holding me like this."

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that Xie Niannian finally squeezed out, and said in a discussing tone: "I'm tired. Let's talk about it another day, okay?"

The quiet eyes of the person in front of him were gradually stained with tiredness, Xie Niannian could see it clearly.She didn't pester anyone anymore, she nodded obediently and answered "yes".

So much happened today.

Before Chi Qing's Qiu Hou settled the score, he waited for Gu Chen's judgment——

The mastermind of the bombing in the east of the city, with conclusive evidence, was bestowed with poisoned wine by the Empress.

Xie Niannian didn't have any objection to this, she was making rice milk when she heard what Duoying said.

The soaked rice is put into a small stone mill, and the snow-white rice milk is ground, and then the rice milk is poured into a pot to boil, and a few tablespoons of sweet-scented osmanthus are added.

The rice milk that comes out of the pot is as white as milk, but it tastes like a thick rice fragrance, and sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus.It relieves greasy and warms the stomach, which is very suitable for suppressing shock.

She was too busy thinking about how to make Chi Qing happy, but after a few days, she became bewildered and frightened.Waking up in the middle of the night with a pungent smell of blood in the dream.

On the contrary, Chi Qing comforted her for a long time.

"Master." Duoying interrupted Xie Niannian's thoughts, Chi Qing hadn't finished what she wanted her to bring.

"Gu Chen wants to eat the sugar-steamed crispy cheese you made, but the master said that if you don't want to make it, let it go."

Xie Niannian agreed without much thought, and quickly finished a bowl of crispy cheese, put it in a food box and handed it to Chaoying.At the end of the day, he took it back and changed his mind to sending it over by himself.

"Won't Chi Qing go?" She followed Duoying into the Interrogation Division, only to feel that seeing is better than seeing a hundred times. The wind blowing through the flickering candlelight was so gloomy and scary.

"Master said, I don't want to see you, and I don't need to see you."

Xie Niannian could imagine Chi Qing's expression and actions when he said this.

After turning around a few times, I could barely see some sunlight in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark cell.In addition to this accident, there are two more conspicuous people.

Zhao Zhuoqu and Xia Qingzhi.

When Zhao Zhuoyu saw the person coming, he just nodded slightly, and none of them spoke.Including Gu Chen who was sitting quietly across the door.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but she is still gentle and gentle, her long hair is well-groomed, tied with a ribbon and hanging on her shoulders, and her clothes are also very clean and tidy.If it wasn't for the broken wooden chair, it would be like drinking tea and chatting with someone.

Xie Niannian handed the food box to the jailer in the prison, along with a jug of wine.

She watched Gu Chen calmly open the food box, scooped up a spoonful of dangling pastry and put it in the mouth, with a gentle smile on the corner of her eyes and brow.

"She always doesn't care about her injuries, not because she can bear it."

Gu Chen's abrupt opening made Xie Niannian tremble in fright, and it took him a few seconds to figure out who she was talking about.

Seeing Xie Niannian's subtle movements, Gu Chen blinked jokingly, and then said: "Chi Qing may be born insensitive to pain, and she probably doesn't know about it."

"Just take it as this." Gu Chen paused, as if he was phrasing: "Thank you for making the pastry."

Xie Niannian digested Gu Chen's words without doubting their authenticity.

After all, they are teachers and sisters who have been together for so many years.

The bowl of crispy cheese drained quickly, Gu Chen poured himself a glass of wine slowly, and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone.

Zhao Zhuoqu frowned slightly, usually wishing for the empress with brocade hairpins, today's attire can be considered plain.

She opened her mouth and held back for a while before saying, "I will reverse the case for the Chen family."

"When Chi Qing and I checked the files, we found the evidence left by Uncle Chi, which stated how the Chen family was slandered and who made the false evidence."

"Uncle Chi left so suddenly that he didn't have time to hand over the file to you.

He left a message on it, saying that if you want to avenge the Chen family in the future, you can use the power of Tianshu Division. "

"He named you Gu Chen, just because he didn't want you to forget that your previous surname was Chen." Zhao Zhuozhi's voice trembled, and he lowered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it again: "Chi Qing didn't want me to tell you, because this file came too late. .”

Gu Chen leaned back against the wall, looking at the sky above his head.

There are fine dust flying and rotating under the light, gradually turning into white light spots, facing the sky, each one is light and free.

She didn't speak, but Zhao Zhuoyu couldn't help asking: "When you were a child, you were always willing to give me half of your pastry."

"Your Majesty is joking." Gu Chen closed his eyes, spoke very hard, but still with a smile: "It's just a joke on occasion."

The dust in the sky finally fell to the ground slowly as the wind stopped.

Xie Niannian couldn't bear to look at it anymore, when he turned to leave, he saw Zhao Zhuoqu hugging Xia Qingzhi, with some crying, he couldn't stop calling: "Zhizhi, Zhizhi"

She quickened her pace and followed Duoying out of the prison, and stepped into the warm sunshine again, only then did she feel the stuffiness in her chest dissipate.

Xie Niannian said hello to Die Ying, and turned around to go to Chi Qing's study.But Chi Qing was not found in the study.

The book case was a bit messy, there was a brush dipped in ink beside the paperweight, and a register was opened, Chi Qing didn't tidy it up.

Xie Niannian glanced briefly and found that it was a roster.

Record the personnel changes of Tianshu Division since Chi Qing took office, the time when he took office, and the reasons for leaving are all clearly written.

Gu Chen's name has been crossed out.

With a low sigh, she left the study and patiently went to find Chi Qing.Tianshusi didn't see anyone, so he went home and looked slowly.

Finally found Chi Qingling's back under the corridor.

She sat casually on the stone steps, not averse to being dirty, and stared blankly at the open space in front of her.

Xie Niannian still had an impression of the wooden pillar beside him, with the childhood heights of the three engraved on it.

Xie Niannian walked up quietly with his hands behind his back, bent over and leaned over to see Chi Qing's expression.

There is no sadness or joy, only a thank you Niannian in his eyes.

She sat down beside Chi Qing, took Chi Qing's hand, and said half-jokingly: "When kids from other families are sad, they will find someone to act like a baby, why don't you?"

In exchange for Chi Qing's sullen answer: "I haven't learned it."

"That's it." Xie Niannian fell into Chi Qing's arms, stretched out his hand to reach her neck, and smiled sweetly: "Chi Qing, why don't you kiss me."

After finishing speaking, Xie Niannian's lips were slightly cold, as soft as kissing a sweet ice and snow glutinous rice cake, and his cheeks were also cold.

A tear rolled down the side of her face, but it wasn't hers.
