Jiang Qing

It's a fine day.

The warm sun in spring is the most gentle, making people's eyes hot and soft.

Over the past six years, the shops on Showa Road have changed several times. It turns out that the girl selling rouge at the northern end has married into a married woman, leaving her mother to look after the shop. Looking at the similar facial features of the old and the young It makes people feel that things are right and wrong.

Only this mansion has not changed in the slightest, it is still located here as if it will never get old.

The same blue bricks, gray tiles and white walls, revealing a bookish atmosphere.

This kind of mansion has always seemed out of place in Pingdu. Before, it means that the Bai family is petty, and building a house is also a sour and Confucian style.At present, at the foot of the imperial city where every inch of land is expensive, this clean and quiet world has been built, and being a gentleman who lives in seclusion in the city, people praise him for being a high-ranking man who is still strong.

Mei Shao grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River like Lanzhou. He was not used to it when he first entered Pingdu. The mansion that lost his memory made him no longer feel the warmth of the past.

Returning to the old place, Mei Shao secretly suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, waited for a long time in front of the Baifu gate, and finally saw that person in a wheelchair coming towards her from a distance.

With just a glance from a distance, he almost couldn't control his killing intent.

He originally thought that after years, he would be able to control his emotions.Being able to casually mention the past in front of Chen Yuanqing at least shows that he can control his mind.Unexpectedly, those chaotic and unforgettable memories were only deeply covered up by him with superficial calmness. When we meet again now, it is already a turbulent wave bursting from the embankment in my heart, and I can no longer restrain it.

It was a night in midsummer, so hot that the stars were melted away, and the noisy cicadas in the trees heralded the coming of a storm.

Mei Shao, who had dressed up in disguise, carefully avoided the busy city, chose a secluded path, and sneaked into Bai Bingchen's courtyard.

He received a message from Zhou Yue, saying that there was something hidden about the change in Cangshan, Bai Bingchen had obtained the evidence, and asked him to return to Beijing quickly to find a way to meet Concubine Mei Gui and speak to His Majesty.He rushed to Pingdu all night and night, and saw the notice posted in the city that the main criminals of Mei, Liu, Qian, and Feng's family had all been sent to prison, and the edict of judgment had not yet been issued.He didn't bother to go home and take a look, and went straight to the White Mansion.

The light in Bai Bingchen's room was still on, and a shadow holding a scroll under the light was vaguely outlined.

"You're here." Bai Bingchen's voice was very clear in the silent night.

Mei Shao finally realized that something was wrong. Originally, even at night, there was always the sound of servants walking around in the house.And the White House is too quiet tonight.

Almost at the same time, as Bai Bingchen's voice fell, the ambushed armored soldiers swarmed up and surrounded Mei Shao. He was about to resist, but he heard the clear sound of the bowstring being fully drawn. Archers had already been arranged on the roof.

Zhou Yue's words were just a pretense to trick him back, and he didn't even use letters, just to not leave any evidence for himself to distinguish.The Cangshan incident, what did the Bai family do in it, and what role did Bai Bingchen play?

He didn't dare to think about it any further, the images of his classmates for three years flashed through his mind one by one, did Bai Bingchen have the purpose of getting close to him from the very beginning?Relying on his status as the son of the general's mansion, and relying on his aunt as a noble concubine in the palace, he helped him out of the siege, and taught him a lesson for those children of the aristocratic family in the school, until he vaguely had his shadow in his heart.

It was I who tied the Bai family and the Mei family together with my own hands, and it was also myself who indulged and wanted to protect a wolf that bit my family.Is it because Bai Bingchen pretended to lie to himself with those awkward and stubborn looks?The more he went back to the past where he thought his friendship was endless, Mei Shao felt more and more cold.

Mei Shao looked around, did the Jiangnan-style house that first made him feel homesick, quietly waiting for him to enter before the Mei family entered Pingdu?Otherwise, why would a Bai family whose ancestral home was in Jingzhou in the north repair such a Jiangnan style courtyard.

He watched the person who had been protected by him walk up to him, but he could only see his white robe and toes when he was being escorted to kneel on the ground.

"Congratulations, my lord. The whole White House helped His Majesty catch the remnants of the rebels. It is really a meritorious service. This time, the rebellion against the thieves was thanks to your father's keen awareness and informed His Majesty in advance. Now you have made such a great contribution, my son. The future Unlimited!"

Hearing Zhang Gonggong thanking Bai Bingchen repeatedly, Mei Shao's cold heart felt like hot oil rolled over him again.It turned out that I was just a stepping stone on his official career, and the Mei family was just a stepping stone for the Bai family to advance.He suppressed the soreness in his heart and lowered his head to hide the tears that he could hardly hold back.

Seeing the uncontrollable tears dripping on the ground, he clenched his fists, feeling so powerless for the first time.

As the youngest son of the Mei family, he was pampered and grew up with a flamboyant and bright personality.Relying on his father's official position and his aunt's favor in the palace, he almost walked sideways in Pingdu.

There is an elder brother in the family who inherits the family business, so he is even more unscrupulous in messing around outside, racing horses and hawks, flying freely and freely.When I got tired of playing in Pingdu, I went out with my sword to travel, went to Mobei, saw Tianshan Mountain, and went to Jiangnan to enjoy a painting boat.

For a while in Pingdu, everyone knew this free and easy young man.His mentor, the great Confucian Zhang Huailiu, once commented on him: beautiful and chivalrous, pure and sincere in heart, youthful spirit, and unparalleled in character.

He never felt that there was anything wrong with falling in love with a man. Anyway, there is an elder brother in his family who inherits the Mei family business. Knowing Bingchen's intentions, no matter how hard he grinds on his parents, even if he doesn't live in Pingdu in the future, it would be good to wander the world with Bai Bingchen.

If the head of the Bai family refused, he would visit the Bai mansion at night, snatch Bai Bingchen and elope with him.In the eyes of the young Mei Shao, nothing can stand between them. As long as Bai Bingchen has him in his heart, he even feels that there is only a layer of window paper between them. After this autumn, he will be able to bring Bai Bingchen back. Lanzhou asked Chen Yuanqing to show off.

How beautiful and fulfilling the future he imagined, but it stopped at this night.

It wasn't until the soil in front of him got wet that Mei Shao realized belatedly that it was raining.

The rain in summer is full of anger, falling with the wind, falling suddenly and hard, hitting the already thin clothes, and hurting people.

Mei Shao saw that the white-clothed man squatted down, the hem of the clothes fell to the ground, and a large area was dirty.

A hand caressed his face, not knowing whether to wipe away tears or rain for him.Bai Bingchen's movements were so gentle that he even had the illusion of being rubbed together.

"You can't bear the suffering in prison, don't be stubborn, confess early, life will be easier." He coaxed Mei Shao like a child.

Mei Shao looked at the face in front of her that she was thinking about day and night, forced an ugly smile, and said to herself: "You said that you want to have a position in the court, and I will help you ask His Majesty to give you one." You refuse to take the official position. If you insist on taking the imperial examination by yourself, I thought it was because you were stubborn and didn’t want to rely on others to get in the position. Now I realize that you just disdain the glory of the Mei family. Your ambition is too big, Mei My family can't afford it, and I can't afford it either. It's me who climbed high..." His voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

"What did you say?"

Looking at the silver light on his wrist under his wide sleeves, Mei Shao suddenly laughed wildly in the rainstorm, his red eyes fixed on Bai Bingchen, like a beast that lost his independence: "I want to kill you! Kill you!"

Unexpectedly, Mei Shao's madness, the armored soldiers on both sides quickly pushed him to the ground, and muddy water rushed into his mouth.

Mei Shao frantically struggled desperately, completely ignoring the dirt all over his body, he kicked as if venting, biting the armored soldier who was suppressing him, until he lost his strength and was pressed hard on the ground .

Regardless of the foot on his face, he still struggled to raise his head: "Bai Bingchen, I will definitely kill you myself."

Bai Bingchen stood up, pushed away the umbrella held above his head, and said calmly, "Okay. I'll wait."

"Zhou Yue!" Bai Bingchen's voice came from a distance.

Seeing his increasingly clear eyebrows and eyes gradually overlap with the memories of six years ago, Mei Shao was in a daze for a while.

The years have only gently covered Bai Bingchen's body with a layer of introverted temperament, and he has become more and more like a polished piece of rough jade, becoming smooth and radiant.Even time favored him so much, and pushed himself into the endless abyss and darkness, Mei Shao thought.

Why?

How can this person who dragged himself into pain live so well?

In the dream of blood and flames, over and over again, I finally killed the person in front of me with my own hands. It was so free to express my feelings. I watched his fallen figure and laughed freely in the dream. After waking up from the dream, I touched His face was icy cold.

The person he had been tempted by before, but now he hated again, after six years, finally appeared before his eyes again.

He restrained his expression and rushed forward: "Senior brother!"

The chill of the tentacles made him stunned for a moment, and Ruoyou Ruowu's familiar fragrance, before he had time to distinguish it, he felt the stiffness of the person in his arms and a slight resistance.

Mei Shao still had a perfect smile on her face, squatted down, and took his hands together: "Brother, why are your hands so cold, I'll cover them for you."

He could feel that the person in front of him was looking at him calmly.Knowing that he couldn't see any flaws, Mei Shao looked into that person's eyes more boldly, enjoying his eyes almost greedily, he used to want to keep such eyes on himself for a long time.

Bai Bingchen met those eyes, a sense of familiarity welled up, and a terrible thought flashed involuntarily.He was stunned for a moment, and pulled his hand out of the man's fingertips without any trace, but he couldn't stop his hand too hastily, and instead stroked the bun on the top of "Zhou Yue", a smile slowly accumulated in his eyes, He tentatively said: "You boy, the White House can't hold you anymore, right? Where have you gone wild in the past few years, just messing around outside, and haven't come back for years."

The person in front of me didn't react much to my words, but just rubbed the hand on his head stupidly: "I'm back, brother, aren't you happy?"

The smile in Bai Bingchen's eyes suddenly became cold.He felt ridiculous for his own thoughts just now.He can almost conclude that this is a fake rogue, no matter what his purpose of coming to the White House is, he really doesn't have the energy to act with him.He just raised his hand, intending to signal Ning Kuan to drive him away, but he caught a glimpse of the man's earlobe from the corner of his eye, and was stunned again.

"Zhou Yue" has a small ear hole on his right ear lobe.

Almost just for a moment, Bai Bingchen could feel his hands tremble, and it seemed as if he had come alive with his internal organs.

Mei Shao could only feel the hand hanging over his head fall gently again, and he seemed to be able to tell that the person responded to him with a smile: "It's been a long time to meet again, I'm very happy."
