Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf
Chapter 204 Triumphant Zhang Jing
When mentioning the ice sparrow, the woman seemed to think of some disdainful face, "Although the ice sparrow is cute in color and has a melodious cry, there is one thing that is not good. It will be killed within three days after taking it home." It started to be sick and annoying, and died on the fourth day. I spent a few hundred taels of silver to get such a short-lived ghost, how can I swallow my breath? I brought it to the market to find the seller's theory, guess what? What's the matter, suddenly there was an ice sparrow in that booth whooped and whined, and it made my ears hurt, so I bought it and threw it to death to see how it screams again."
The woman was still listing all the faults of the Bing Lingque, when Ling Xueji and Ling Qiufan's sedan chair suddenly heard the sound of birdsong, Ling Xueji looked at the suddenly mad Bing Lingque, and asked Ling Qiufan helplessly, "Sister, Bingbing, what's the matter?" What's the matter?"
Bing Lingque has always been quiet, and this is the first time Ling Qiufan has seen her like this, her eyes turned around and she locked on Qianli Yunyan who was sleeping unconscious on the other side of the sedan chair and didn't even know that a big pot fell from the sky, "Did you bully others?" !"
Qianli Yunyan who was woken up by the beating:? ? ? ? ?
Wei Yueyan who was outside naturally didn't know about the episode found in the sedan chair, she just stared at the woman without saying a word.Qu Quan was about to say something to her, but when he suddenly saw the murderous gaze, he trembled in fright, and then followed his gaze and saw the woman.
"you recognize?"
"I don't know her, but I remember her. When we first met, she hadn't left the cabinet yet."
Wei Yueyan lowered his voice, and told Qu Quan the story of encountering an ice sparrow at the Bainiao Market when he was a child, the crying of his dead wife and husband, and being bought by this woman and falling to his death. Gradually heavy.
"The last corpse...?"
"Full of wild dogs."
Qu Quan tightened the reins and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Wei Yueyan's long whip, "What are you doing?"
"It's been a long time since I went to Xiatai, and I really miss it."
Wei Yueyan hurriedly reined in Qu Quan's horse, and the army stopped in response to the situation. This movement attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and they all looked at this side, including the lady who didn't pay attention to the army at first, who was also curious. Look this way.
"When did you become so impulsive? In the past, you had to lay the groundwork for everything, but now you roll up your sleeves and dare to do it. You are bored." Wei Yueyan really couldn't understand Qu Quan's brain circuit. How much preparation has she made, and now she dares to arrest people in the street? ?
Qu Quan lowered his head, smiled inadvertently, Wei Yueyan's indistinct bitterness blurred at the corner of his mouth, "I don't have much time, I can't do anything if you stop me now. Just one sentence -"
She clung to Wei Yueyan's ears, her voice was as thin as a veil, but every word struck her heart with the weight of a mountain, "Don't let her go."
After the conflict between the chief general and the imperial envoy was over, the army started again. Wei Yueyan looked back and felt that something was wrong with Qu Quan today. This feeling lasted until he entered the last checkpoint in the imperial city area - under the gate of Zhengde. Only then did the clues emerge.
Wei Yueyan's reaction was even greater than Qu Quan's. The moment she jumped off the horse and took the imperial decree with both hands, the long whip was also sent to her body, almost poking a hole in the chin of the father-in-law who came to announce the decree.But in the end she clung to her rationality and did not let it run wild, "His majesty's edicts in the imperial city are always promulgated by Eunuch Xu, why are you bothering Eunuch Li today?"
From the corner of Eunuch Li's eyes, he glanced at the whip rope an inch away from his chin. His old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and under the flattering folds, there was an invisible contempt. "General Wei's words are too polite."
"I'm not being polite to you."
Wei Yueyan, who had just been promoted from the first-rank hussar general, suppressed a smile, "Give me the decree, you are not worthy."
While the expression on Eunuch Li's face was changing rapidly, Wei Yueyan's heart was also spinning rapidly. I'm sorry for the fathers, uncles and brothers of the ancestors and ancestors, but I still didn't hold back and let my reason run away with the crazy horse...
"Thank you for going to Ron."
Qu Quan at the side had already knelt down on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
This sound awakened Wei Yueyan who was trying to regain her senses but found that it had really gone away. She hurriedly wanted to turn her head but stopped her impulse to fight together, put in effort together, and put life and death aside together. After protecting the people of one side, they returned to the court, one was promoted and made a fortune, and gained both fame and fortune, while the other was imprisoned for crimes.
The rebellious ministers and thieves who shocked the whole court and carried the name of rebellion turned into good generals who stabilized the country, while the hero who led the army to quell the chaos a month ago and sent him to the expedition was designated as a traitor who framed the loyal and good.
Wei Yueyan suddenly panicked, what would Qu Quan think of him?
Suppressing all his emotions, trying to breathe calmly, gritted his teeth and turned his head, only to see Qu Quan was also looking at him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Qu Quan's gaze was neither wave nor ripple, neither sad nor joyful, as if he had expected this ending long ago.
Yeah, that's how it should be.
Gradually, her reason came back to her mind, and her thoughts gradually became clear. The moment Qu Quan used Yugui to dispatch troops to help Long Xi in the name of suppressing the rebellion, her fate for today was doomed.The victory is due to her contribution to endangering Yueyan and Qu Quan's crime.
All the good things of fighting side by side are left in a small town called Longxi in the border pass. After passing through the pass and entering the imperial capital, they are no longer comrades-in-arms, but political enemies.
Wei Yueyan hid his fists that were about to burst out under his cloak, looked at the imperial city, Zuo Xiaowei, who was under his command a moment ago, held Qu Quan with a rope, and forced out a sarcastic smile.
Qu Quan didn't look at her anymore, but turned his eyes to the soft sedan chair accompanying the army, where her weeping wife was kneeling.
Her wife was supposed to laugh and play freely in this world, but she was born to learn forbearance, keep silent, and bear the heavy pressure she had to bear.
"Master Qu wants to say goodbye to his family?" Eunuch Li asked "kindly".
Ling Xueji's figure lying on the ground froze, and when she was about to raise her head, she heard Qu Quan say "No need."
Then he shook his head bitterly, "Don't let her see me like this." After Qu Quan finished speaking, she didn't need to be chased away, and went straight to the prison car prepared for her.
After passing on the decree, Eunuch Li said, "General Sheng Zhizhi is exhausted from running around for days, so I give you three days to rest and take a bath", and then he also took people away.
Wei Yueyan waited for the figures of the group of people to completely condense into black dots before hitting the stone pillar under the city gate with his fist.
Shi Zhuang got on his horse, flicked his long whip and galloped towards Xiatai.
Ling Xueji didn't dare to ask where Qu Quan was taken, she just threw herself into her sister's arms and cried out of breath.The two big men, He Youtian and Qin Guangmo, stood by and didn't know how to persuade them, so they had to go to Wei Yueyan first, planning to come to Yugui to take the army back to count first.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was hit by a horse hissing through his ears, and a gust of wind flashed in front of him, making his face ache. When he looked closely, he could only catch the back of a Wei Yueyan whipping away.
Qin Guangmo hurriedly asked He Youtian to send the Ling sisters home, and got on his horse to give chase.
***
The wind under Shuo Xue was unceremoniously blowing on his face like a knife, but Wei Yueyan didn't notice it at all, and swung his whip towards the horse's buttocks to meet the colder wind.
That's the only way she can keep her cool as her blood burns with fire in her chest.
Although she and Qu Quan have been political enemies for several years, they both prosper and lose together.For example, if the weights at both ends of the balance are too heavy, the balance will tilt. In order to maintain the balance at both ends of the balance, the king must try to keep the weights at both ends at the same size.
Now that Qu Quan is in prison, she has been promoted to the first rank. Only a fool would believe that she was really promoted.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt like laughing, she threatened Yueyan, He De, how could he work so hard, the man on the dragon chair offered her a big way of flattering and killing her.
A snowball was thrown over and shattered in mid-air as if the snow had exploded. The Bainiao Market was much more lively than before. Wei Yueyan didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, and his falcon-like eyes wandered around the market. Captured the figure wrapped in snow rabbit fur.
The long whip fell from the sky, accompanied by the sound of the wind, and the red plum blossomed into snow in an instant, and the exquisitely painted snow umbrella surface flew along the fallen body for several miles, and rolled alone in the snow.
All of a sudden, everything was silent, and the bustling city of the Imperial Capital was instantly deserted, only the rustling snow and the majestic sound of the wind remained.
The young woman who was stunned by the whip took a long time to react. With the support of her husband, she covered her face and stood up, pointing at the assailant and complaining sharply, "Bold madman, how presumptuous! I am the Lord of Guanling County!"
County Lord?Is it the second grade?
Wei Yueyan, who had just been promoted to the first rank, sneered, "Then it's just right for me to hit you."
As soon as the words fell, the long whip came again.
The county magistrate of Guanling grew up in the imperial palace since she was a child and rarely went out of the palace. Because her biological mother was indifferent and widowed, she inevitably lived in depression.After leaving the court and leaving the imperial palace, the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years were released at once, and by virtue of her status, she got a gentle husband. She was perverse and self-willed to the extreme.But after all, the identity of the daughter of the princess is on the line. Rao even robbed a young man from the ordinary people's house a few months ago and played him to death within a few days after returning home. No one dared to oppose her, no one dared to disobey her wishes. Today It's unreasonable that this madman who suddenly jumped out dared to greet her with a whip!
"What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you guys hurry up!" Guanling was so painful and annoyed by the whip, just after he finished commanding, he heard the sound of the whip in his ear, and his left eye was hot. He raised his hand to cover it, and spread Open, the palm is dazzling red.
The red spread more and more, almost filling the entire field of vision, occupying everything between the sky and the earth. For a long time, she could hardly tell whether it was snow or blood blooming in midair...
"You... you... are not human..."
Wei Yueyan raised his hand to gather the long whip, shook off the excess blood, and slowly smiled at the shivering figure in front of him.
I am Shura, do you think I am a human?
When Qin Guangmo and a group of Jinwu guards arrived, there were only a dozen stunned servants left, and a mass of bloody flesh that was so blurred that the original appearance could not be seen clearly, quietly waiting for their arrival in the swirling snow. .
The blood of the county lord of Guanling stained the last winter of the imperial capital red. When the long whip fell, the first spring thunder sounded.
***
next day
On New Year's Eve, the imperial capital was snowed heavily, and it was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but Wei Yueyan killed several people in a row on this day.
Everyone said that Wei Yueyan was crazy. The rumor spread from the deep palace with drooping curtains down to the streets and alleys of various people's livelihoods, but no one came to punish her, as if there was a powerful force protecting her. Let her go to heaven and earth to do anything.
"Ma'am, go ask the general." The usually lively girl frowned tightly and begged Ling Qiufan.
"Okay, I get it." Ling Qiufan patted Lu Chen's head, looking over his head and happened to see Wei Yueyan who had returned from outside.
The smell of blood rushed to the nose before people even reached their eyes, well, they must have gone to kill again.
Wei Yueyan walked forward quickly, and suddenly raised his head to meet his wife's scrutinizing gaze, so frightened, he turned around and walked out.
"Isn't the general planning to celebrate the New Year at home?"
Ling Qiufan's voice sounded behind him, and Wei Yueyan turned back with a sad face, "How can I, I want to spend it at home." This is Ling Qiufan's first New Year after marrying her, and it is also the first time for the two of them. The first time we celebrate the New Year together, of course we have to watch the year together until dawn.It's just... Wei Yueyan looked at the blood stains all over his body in embarrassment, "I'll come back after taking a bath, it smells bad, I don't want to get on you."
"During that time in Longxi City, Xueji and I washed your battle clothes. You didn't say anything at that time, so why are you getting into trouble with me now?" Ling Qiufan couldn't help but said, stepping forward and grabbing the danger. Yue Yan's belt dragged him into the room.
Wei Yueyan was afraid that she would pull all his clothes off, so he obediently followed.

indoor
General Wei, whose fierce reputation in the imperial capital was spread all over the streets and alleys, stood in front of Ling Qiufan like a student who didn't do his homework, with his head drooping, and he almost stretched out his hand to beg for a board.
"You don't have to do this. If you take me as your wife, tell me what all this is all about."
Qu Quan was imprisoned yesterday, Ling Xueji's mood was extremely unstable, Ling Qiufan spent the night with his sister in an inn in a neighboring city, and returned this morning, when he heard that Wei Yueyan killed someone in the street yesterday, the person who killed was still Daughter of Princess Chao - the head of Guanling County.But the strange thing is that the royal family did not deal with such a major event. Only the eldest princess in the widowed palace simply said, "There is no way to teach a daughter, and she will end up guilty", and invited herself to go to the Gospel Temple to pray for the dead daughter. respond to this.
Just as the heart that had been hanging for a long time was about to come back to reality, he heard that Wei Yueyan woke up early again and started killing at the feet of the emperor, so frightened that Ling Qiufan almost suspected that he was living in a dream.
Now that he has finally been caught, he needs to have a good interrogation.
When Wei Yueyan heard these words, she seemed to be extremely tired, and all her energy was exhausted in an instant. She sat down on the floor without looking for a chair, and let out a long sigh.
Ling Qiufan stood up and went to the chair, and sat with her, took his beloved's hand and put it in his arms, covering it with his own palm.Wait quietly.
Fortunately, Wei Yueyan didn't keep her waiting too long, he first explained the ins and outs of Qu Quan's imprisonment, and then explained his behavior in the past two days.
"The people I killed were those who relied on their own status to oppress good people, separated their children, and committed crimes."
"In the past, I was a spear in the emperor's hand to guard the border, and Qu Quan was a halberd in the emperor's hand to eradicate dissidents. In the face of many injustices in the world, we are only allowed to watch, not to act. If we really can't see What you wanted to do in the past, you must make all follow-up preparations before you can implement it.”
"And now, he has decided to throw his halberd and sink his gun, and get rid of the two of us one by one."
"Then why is it the same as in the past, tied up and unable to break free?"
Ling Qiufan nodded but shook his head again, "But the people you killed are more powerful than the others, will you do this..." She couldn't say the next words, and she didn't know how to say them.She has seen A Mao break her own legs and do all kinds of tricks in exchange for the Jinling bloody case, she has seen Qu Quan kill the cannibal with blood splashed in the Golden Palace, she has seen Wei Yue Yan's bloody battle at the border but she was accused of treason by others, she is no longer The innocent daughter who was raised in the deep boudoir carefree back then, she knew very well that what Wei Yueyan wanted to do was something she was willing to do, but she was also afraid that if something happened in the future, all the force she exerted would bounce back to Wei Yueyan's body. body.
After all, this is her lover, the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
"Our king is like a man who writes opera scripts. He is loyal, good and treacherous, and all of them are determined by him."
"As for us courtiers, we only need to sing and act step by step according to the person he gave, and we have to continue singing before the end of the play. As long as you sing according to his script, kill and kill indiscriminately on the field, laughing madly and foolishly is not as far as he is concerned. It's all just acting on the spot, if anyone dares to change his original character, then the real end is not far away."
As Wei Yueyan spoke, she embraced the thoughtful Ling Qiufan into her arms, let her wife, who was obviously still digesting the amount of information, lean on her shoulder, and gently stroked her black cloud-like hair.
The last words that Qu Quan said to her before leaving resounded in her mind, like a morning bell, ringing against the clouds.She already understood why Qu Quan said that sentence and showed that expression.
Qu Quan has no time, but she still has a little time.
In its place, perform its duties.
All the evils in the world are repeatedly prohibited, and one person's power is limited after all.
But since he has accepted the word "My lord", he must use the long blade in his hand to kill all the treacherous evil in front of him.
The wrath of the Son of Heaven is unavoidable, in this limited time, let's get rid of a few evil thieves for the common people.

Xiatai Prison Division
Ling Xueji waited anxiously at the gate with a food box, and from time to time she took her hands out of her sleeves and exhaled and rubbed them. The food box was put down, for fear that the cold ground would cool the food box in an instant.
Knowing that she was coming to Xiatai, Old Madam Qu wanted to accompany her no matter what she said, the old man looked at her with tears in his eyes, Ling Xueji used all his strength to persuade the old matriarch to come down, before leaving the door He also refused the company of Jiji Thrush and asked them to appease the old lady's emotions, so as not to let the old man continue to be sad.After all, the old matriarch is so old, what kind of place is Xiatai, Qu Quan has offended so many people in the past, maybe he is tortured now, if the old matriarch sees it with his own eyes, I wonder if he can bear it.
Ling Xueji felt that what she was thinking was very rational, and she also thought she was very calm, but as soon as she walked to the gate of Xiatai Prison Division, her calves began to tremble spinelessly.
What was even more unexpected was that she couldn't see Qu Quan at all, the prison department didn't care who she was, Qu Quan lost power, and even her wife, Shang Shu, was not taken seriously.
After waiting for half a day, Shuo Dendrobium and Han Xiao finally came out, bowed to an extremely ugly officer, came out and shook his head at Ling Xueji, took him to an inconspicuous corner, and let out a long sigh .
"Xueji, you must be mentally prepared for what I'm going to say next."
Ling Xueji bit her lip and nodded, but as Shuo Dendrobium spoke carefully about Qu Quan's situation, she burst into tears with a "wow", Han Xiao hurriedly wiped her tears, but the big tears still fell stop.
"Woohoo, how can they do this ... Brother Shicheng gave them so much money, how can they still do this, oh ..."
"Xue Ji, don't worry, Hang Shicheng and Shi Zhuang are already trying to find a way around, maybe they will be able to pick up Ah Quan soon." Shuo Dendrobium comforted, as if a big clock was shaking uneasy in his heart, the voice Sound reminder.
"Brother Hanxiao, help me hold this." Ling Xueji suddenly stuffed a food box into Hanxiao's hand, and ran to the gate, Shuo Dendrobium and Hanxiao didn't hold him back, so they had to go together.Unexpectedly, Ling Xueji used her body skills in a hurry, and at the end of the run, she just jumped up and went directly to the gate of the prison department, with a soft whip whipped around her waist, she spun a few times in the air like a long snake, and rushed towards the prisoner. The hideous officer bit his face——
"Wow, you little girl! What are you going to do!" The officer couldn't dodge in time, his face was slapped with blood by Ling Xueji, and he quickly called the prison guards to stop him.
Ling Xueji took the whip and cursed, "You shameless dog official! Although my husband was imprisoned unjustly, he was not dismissed from office. How could you abuse lynching! And I am still Mrs. Shangshu, not only did you not do anything to me What's the point of yelling at me for basic etiquette!"
Freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, Qu Quan has been out of power for more than a few months, except for Shi Zhuang, no one can replace him, and the rest of the officials who have acquaintances with Qu Quan have all been replaced.Later, the new officials who were airborne or promoted, without exception, treated Qu Quan in the same way but in the back. Now that Qu Quan is in prison, he is too lazy to show it.
In the past, he was suppressed by Qu Quan, but now his boss has let go, and he is even more courageous than the sky. He rushed to punish Qu Quan. On the surface, he wanted to bully the emperor, collude with the enemy and treason, and kill the Taichang Temple minister. When a series of crimes were pried out of her mouth, all of them secretly complained about revenge, as long as they didn't torture people to death, they couldn't be too angry.
The chief is not afraid of her even with the guards, "Mrs. Shangshu? What about Mrs. Shangshu? How can the family members interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment."
Just as Ling Xueji was about to fight back, he heard a clear and cold voice behind him——
"A mere fifth-rank official dares to speak wild words. This Jinling City is really going to be messed up." The visitor came with a feather crown and black hair, with a cool demeanor, and the white robe seemed to be covered in frost and snow.
"Master Shuangge."
The officer who was arrogant and domineering just now bowed down and bowed down together with the guards beside him when he saw the person coming.
Shuang Ge's face remained unchanged, only the corners of his lips tugged slightly, and he sneered coldly, "Why? Don't you look down on Mrs. Shang Shu? Why do you beg me?"
Shuang Ge's words were true, he was the chief supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor, and he was also the wife of the Ministry of War Minister, and the officer with these two identities could hardly argue.
The officer looked constipated and complained in his heart, is this Shuang Ge someone who Wei Yueyan belongs to?When did you have such a good relationship with Qu Quan's wife?Could it be that they were engaged?
Naturally, Ling Xueji didn't know what kind of dirty thoughts were in his mind, if she knew about this prison secretary, she would probably have demolished him today.Now she only took the food box from Han Xiao, and expressed to Shuang Ge that she wanted to go in to accompany Qu Quan to celebrate the New Year.When Shuangge spoke, the officer had to give in if he refused, so he nodded and let him go.
Ling Xueji thanked the three little brothers who came to help, touched the still warm food box in his arms, and hurriedly ran inside.
Shuang Ge ignored the nodding and bowing farewell of the Chief of the Prison Department, and walked out of the Xiatai area with Shuo Dendrobium Han Xiao, and found a remote teahouse to sit down before bowing to each other.
Shuang Ge always went straight to the point, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he got straight to the point.
"Yue Yan seems to be in a good mood now, but in fact she is in the same trap as Master Qu. She must not come forward about the current matter, and she can only help in secret, if you have any needs, you can come to me directly."
Shuo Dendrobium and Han Xiao had already learned from Shi Zhuang that Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan had turned their wars into jades, but they were still shocked when they heard the director of the Military Weapons Supervisor speak so straightforwardly.But only once.
"Thank you then." Shuo Dendrobium cupped his hands.
Shuang Ge asked again: "Master Qu, do you have any words for the two of you?"
"Indeed there are." Han Xiao nodded, and pushed the freshly brewed teacup in front of the Shuangge seat, "Master, please come over with your ears..."

Xiatai prison Sixuan name
Ling Xueji looked at Qu Quan, who seemed to have changed in just a day, and the tears that were finally put away began to fall again, "I knew it, I would, I would have brought Ah Jin here, and killed them all. woo woo woo..."
Qu Quanxu stayed in the dark for almost a whole day, seeing either the hideous former subordinates or the hideous instruments of torture, seeing Ling Xueji now, he felt quite vivid and cute, no matter how hard he saw it, he couldn't get enough of it.He smiled subconsciously, but he didn't want to tear the wound on his face. He clenched his teeth and didn't let out a moan, but he couldn't control his heavy breathing for a moment.
"Kitten……"
"Qu Quan, don't move, woo woo woo." Ling Xueji puffed up her cheeks and blew on Qu Quan's wound with distress. The more she blew, the more angry she wanted to smash the prison cell, "You are a girl, how could they hurt you? face! Woooooooooooooooo..."
"Don't cry."
"I don't, woo woo woo..."
Qu Quan sighed, gritted his teeth, moved his bruised body, and tried to change his sitting posture to be more energetic, "We are together every day, and I missed you all day. I want to see you, you look happy, you Okay, can you show me a smile?"
These words are more effective than panacea, Ling Xueji stopped crying immediately after hearing this, wrinkled a smiling face, worked hard for a long time, and finally suppressed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Qu Quan: ...
The water in Ling Xueji's eyes flickered and seemed to overflow.
Qu Quan: "Our Xueji is the most beautiful, I am so happy."
"Pfft ha ha ha." This time Ling Xueji laughed sincerely, but couldn't laugh anymore.
The two sat on the thatch in silence for a while, but it was Qu Quan who spoke first.
"Did you bring me something to eat?" Qu Quan frowned and thought for a while, then smiled warmly: "New Year's Eve dinner?"
It was only then that Ling Xueji remembered that she had brought a food box, and nodded with self-blame, took the food box over, touched it with her hand and quickly opened it, "Qu Quan, try it quickly, this is a pastry made by Jiji, this It's Mammy Zhou's best steamed eggplant with abalone, this... this..."
"Grandmother cooks red bean and purple rice porridge." Qu Quan continued for her.
Ling Xueji turned her back and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were flowing out of her disobedience, and quickly turned back and nodded frantically.Qu Quan also cooperated as if he didn't see it, lowered his head and asked, "Grandmother, are you okay?"
"Grandmother is very strong!" Ling Xueji hurriedly reassured her, and then put out a pile of vegetables. Although it was a New Year's Eve dinner, it was served in a food box, and she only had four dishes, one porridge and one soup when she was full.
Qu Quan looked at Bu Cai and burst out laughing, Ling Xueji gave her a strange look and continued, "What are you laughing at?"
"I remember the first time I sat and ate with you, and you also brought the food in a food box for me to eat."
Although Ling Xueji just sat opposite each other that time and did not eat, Qu Quan was still deeply impressed.
Outside the morgue in Jinwuwei Youjie Yamen, the lights and candles reflected each other in the distance, and that moment was the starting point of their marriage.
Ling Xueji had just filled a bowl of porridge and took a spoon to test the temperature. Hearing what Qu Quan said, his face felt a little hot, but his heart was like an erupting volcano, and the magma mixed with honey was bubbling out in streams. live.
"You still remember."
"Of course I remember." Qu Quan opened his mouth to swallow the porridge that Ling Xueji had fed, and tasted it sweetly, the stomach pain that had been tormenting him for half a day finally got a little relief. "Although my memory is not good enough, there are two things that I will never forget no matter how many years pass."
"One is the details of the case, and the other is all the details about you."
***
Not enough wine but full of food, Ling Xueji and Qu Quan leaned against the cold prison wall, looked up at the skylight leaking from the skylight, and quietly counted the hours.
"Qu Quan, this is the first year I spent with you."
"Yeah." Qu Quan pouted, "I have to be jealous of Wei Yueyan again, she and your sister can have a good meal and set off fireworks at the table together in the first New Year."
Seeing that Qu Quan was still in a joking mood, Ling Xueji also smiled.
With the palm of his hand propped on the ground, he took two steps with his fingertips, and held the other hand. The warmth wound up from the back of the hand, all the way to the bottom of his heart, and became tighter and tighter.
"Qu Quan, I will spend many, many years with you."
"I want, too."
"You can't just think about it, you must promise me."
"..." Qu Quan turned his head, watching the bright and clear moonlight fall on Ling Xueji's curled eyelashes and dance lightly, her wife was nervous and afraid, afraid of something called 'lost'.The softened heart turned into water in an instant, she took a deep breath, and made her tone sound as firm as possible, and then firmer, "Okay, I promise you."
Ling Xueji was satisfied, she wanted to lean on Qu Quan's shoulder but was afraid of touching her wound, so she restrained herself, "Qu Quan."
"Ok?"
"Let's watch the year together! When I was young, my dad told me that as long as I keep watching until the next day, I will surely live a long life!"
"Well, we're all going to live a long life."
***
After all, Ling Xueji failed to keep up with Qu Quan, because the Qu family sent someone to pick up Ling Xueji before the two of them had finished whispering, and Ji Jin quickly took Ling Xueji back before seeing Qu Quan.
"The Prime Minister is here?" Ling Xueji felt like being killed by lightning, "Why did the Prime Minister come to our house?!?!"
Ling Xueji followed Ji Jin in the long corridor of Qu's Xiyuan with a dreamy face, Ji Jin lowered his head to lead the way, and his tone was full of anxiety.
"I've also heard the old matriarch call me that, and I don't know what's going on. Madam will understand when she meets the old matriarch."
In a few words, I arrived at the main hall of Xiyuan. Tonight was New Year's Eve, but because the owner of the Shangshu Mansion was imprisoned, there were no lights and festivities like in previous years.The lights were dim along the way, but now the main hall of Xiyuan is brightly lit.
Ling Xueji followed the collection into the hall with a dazed expression, and was about to call out to the old matriarch, but when she saw the visitor with her head bowed, her eyes became hot, and she knelt down with a plop.
"Daddy!"
The woman was still listing all the faults of the Bing Lingque, when Ling Xueji and Ling Qiufan's sedan chair suddenly heard the sound of birdsong, Ling Xueji looked at the suddenly mad Bing Lingque, and asked Ling Qiufan helplessly, "Sister, Bingbing, what's the matter?" What's the matter?"
Bing Lingque has always been quiet, and this is the first time Ling Qiufan has seen her like this, her eyes turned around and she locked on Qianli Yunyan who was sleeping unconscious on the other side of the sedan chair and didn't even know that a big pot fell from the sky, "Did you bully others?" !"
Qianli Yunyan who was woken up by the beating:? ? ? ? ?
Wei Yueyan who was outside naturally didn't know about the episode found in the sedan chair, she just stared at the woman without saying a word.Qu Quan was about to say something to her, but when he suddenly saw the murderous gaze, he trembled in fright, and then followed his gaze and saw the woman.
"you recognize?"
"I don't know her, but I remember her. When we first met, she hadn't left the cabinet yet."
Wei Yueyan lowered his voice, and told Qu Quan the story of encountering an ice sparrow at the Bainiao Market when he was a child, the crying of his dead wife and husband, and being bought by this woman and falling to his death. Gradually heavy.
"The last corpse...?"
"Full of wild dogs."
Qu Quan tightened the reins and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Wei Yueyan's long whip, "What are you doing?"
"It's been a long time since I went to Xiatai, and I really miss it."
Wei Yueyan hurriedly reined in Qu Quan's horse, and the army stopped in response to the situation. This movement attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and they all looked at this side, including the lady who didn't pay attention to the army at first, who was also curious. Look this way.
"When did you become so impulsive? In the past, you had to lay the groundwork for everything, but now you roll up your sleeves and dare to do it. You are bored." Wei Yueyan really couldn't understand Qu Quan's brain circuit. How much preparation has she made, and now she dares to arrest people in the street? ?
Qu Quan lowered his head, smiled inadvertently, Wei Yueyan's indistinct bitterness blurred at the corner of his mouth, "I don't have much time, I can't do anything if you stop me now. Just one sentence -"
She clung to Wei Yueyan's ears, her voice was as thin as a veil, but every word struck her heart with the weight of a mountain, "Don't let her go."
After the conflict between the chief general and the imperial envoy was over, the army started again. Wei Yueyan looked back and felt that something was wrong with Qu Quan today. This feeling lasted until he entered the last checkpoint in the imperial city area - under the gate of Zhengde. Only then did the clues emerge.
Wei Yueyan's reaction was even greater than Qu Quan's. The moment she jumped off the horse and took the imperial decree with both hands, the long whip was also sent to her body, almost poking a hole in the chin of the father-in-law who came to announce the decree.But in the end she clung to her rationality and did not let it run wild, "His majesty's edicts in the imperial city are always promulgated by Eunuch Xu, why are you bothering Eunuch Li today?"
From the corner of Eunuch Li's eyes, he glanced at the whip rope an inch away from his chin. His old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and under the flattering folds, there was an invisible contempt. "General Wei's words are too polite."
"I'm not being polite to you."
Wei Yueyan, who had just been promoted from the first-rank hussar general, suppressed a smile, "Give me the decree, you are not worthy."
While the expression on Eunuch Li's face was changing rapidly, Wei Yueyan's heart was also spinning rapidly. I'm sorry for the fathers, uncles and brothers of the ancestors and ancestors, but I still didn't hold back and let my reason run away with the crazy horse...
"Thank you for going to Ron."
Qu Quan at the side had already knelt down on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
This sound awakened Wei Yueyan who was trying to regain her senses but found that it had really gone away. She hurriedly wanted to turn her head but stopped her impulse to fight together, put in effort together, and put life and death aside together. After protecting the people of one side, they returned to the court, one was promoted and made a fortune, and gained both fame and fortune, while the other was imprisoned for crimes.
The rebellious ministers and thieves who shocked the whole court and carried the name of rebellion turned into good generals who stabilized the country, while the hero who led the army to quell the chaos a month ago and sent him to the expedition was designated as a traitor who framed the loyal and good.
Wei Yueyan suddenly panicked, what would Qu Quan think of him?
Suppressing all his emotions, trying to breathe calmly, gritted his teeth and turned his head, only to see Qu Quan was also looking at him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Qu Quan's gaze was neither wave nor ripple, neither sad nor joyful, as if he had expected this ending long ago.
Yeah, that's how it should be.
Gradually, her reason came back to her mind, and her thoughts gradually became clear. The moment Qu Quan used Yugui to dispatch troops to help Long Xi in the name of suppressing the rebellion, her fate for today was doomed.The victory is due to her contribution to endangering Yueyan and Qu Quan's crime.
All the good things of fighting side by side are left in a small town called Longxi in the border pass. After passing through the pass and entering the imperial capital, they are no longer comrades-in-arms, but political enemies.
Wei Yueyan hid his fists that were about to burst out under his cloak, looked at the imperial city, Zuo Xiaowei, who was under his command a moment ago, held Qu Quan with a rope, and forced out a sarcastic smile.
Qu Quan didn't look at her anymore, but turned his eyes to the soft sedan chair accompanying the army, where her weeping wife was kneeling.
Her wife was supposed to laugh and play freely in this world, but she was born to learn forbearance, keep silent, and bear the heavy pressure she had to bear.
"Master Qu wants to say goodbye to his family?" Eunuch Li asked "kindly".
Ling Xueji's figure lying on the ground froze, and when she was about to raise her head, she heard Qu Quan say "No need."
Then he shook his head bitterly, "Don't let her see me like this." After Qu Quan finished speaking, she didn't need to be chased away, and went straight to the prison car prepared for her.
After passing on the decree, Eunuch Li said, "General Sheng Zhizhi is exhausted from running around for days, so I give you three days to rest and take a bath", and then he also took people away.
Wei Yueyan waited for the figures of the group of people to completely condense into black dots before hitting the stone pillar under the city gate with his fist.
Shi Zhuang got on his horse, flicked his long whip and galloped towards Xiatai.
Ling Xueji didn't dare to ask where Qu Quan was taken, she just threw herself into her sister's arms and cried out of breath.The two big men, He Youtian and Qin Guangmo, stood by and didn't know how to persuade them, so they had to go to Wei Yueyan first, planning to come to Yugui to take the army back to count first.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was hit by a horse hissing through his ears, and a gust of wind flashed in front of him, making his face ache. When he looked closely, he could only catch the back of a Wei Yueyan whipping away.
Qin Guangmo hurriedly asked He Youtian to send the Ling sisters home, and got on his horse to give chase.
***
The wind under Shuo Xue was unceremoniously blowing on his face like a knife, but Wei Yueyan didn't notice it at all, and swung his whip towards the horse's buttocks to meet the colder wind.
That's the only way she can keep her cool as her blood burns with fire in her chest.
Although she and Qu Quan have been political enemies for several years, they both prosper and lose together.For example, if the weights at both ends of the balance are too heavy, the balance will tilt. In order to maintain the balance at both ends of the balance, the king must try to keep the weights at both ends at the same size.
Now that Qu Quan is in prison, she has been promoted to the first rank. Only a fool would believe that she was really promoted.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt like laughing, she threatened Yueyan, He De, how could he work so hard, the man on the dragon chair offered her a big way of flattering and killing her.
A snowball was thrown over and shattered in mid-air as if the snow had exploded. The Bainiao Market was much more lively than before. Wei Yueyan didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, and his falcon-like eyes wandered around the market. Captured the figure wrapped in snow rabbit fur.
The long whip fell from the sky, accompanied by the sound of the wind, and the red plum blossomed into snow in an instant, and the exquisitely painted snow umbrella surface flew along the fallen body for several miles, and rolled alone in the snow.
All of a sudden, everything was silent, and the bustling city of the Imperial Capital was instantly deserted, only the rustling snow and the majestic sound of the wind remained.
The young woman who was stunned by the whip took a long time to react. With the support of her husband, she covered her face and stood up, pointing at the assailant and complaining sharply, "Bold madman, how presumptuous! I am the Lord of Guanling County!"
County Lord?Is it the second grade?
Wei Yueyan, who had just been promoted to the first rank, sneered, "Then it's just right for me to hit you."
As soon as the words fell, the long whip came again.
The county magistrate of Guanling grew up in the imperial palace since she was a child and rarely went out of the palace. Because her biological mother was indifferent and widowed, she inevitably lived in depression.After leaving the court and leaving the imperial palace, the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years were released at once, and by virtue of her status, she got a gentle husband. She was perverse and self-willed to the extreme.But after all, the identity of the daughter of the princess is on the line. Rao even robbed a young man from the ordinary people's house a few months ago and played him to death within a few days after returning home. No one dared to oppose her, no one dared to disobey her wishes. Today It's unreasonable that this madman who suddenly jumped out dared to greet her with a whip!
"What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you guys hurry up!" Guanling was so painful and annoyed by the whip, just after he finished commanding, he heard the sound of the whip in his ear, and his left eye was hot. He raised his hand to cover it, and spread Open, the palm is dazzling red.
The red spread more and more, almost filling the entire field of vision, occupying everything between the sky and the earth. For a long time, she could hardly tell whether it was snow or blood blooming in midair...
"You... you... are not human..."
Wei Yueyan raised his hand to gather the long whip, shook off the excess blood, and slowly smiled at the shivering figure in front of him.
I am Shura, do you think I am a human?
When Qin Guangmo and a group of Jinwu guards arrived, there were only a dozen stunned servants left, and a mass of bloody flesh that was so blurred that the original appearance could not be seen clearly, quietly waiting for their arrival in the swirling snow. .
The blood of the county lord of Guanling stained the last winter of the imperial capital red. When the long whip fell, the first spring thunder sounded.
***
next day
On New Year's Eve, the imperial capital was snowed heavily, and it was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but Wei Yueyan killed several people in a row on this day.
Everyone said that Wei Yueyan was crazy. The rumor spread from the deep palace with drooping curtains down to the streets and alleys of various people's livelihoods, but no one came to punish her, as if there was a powerful force protecting her. Let her go to heaven and earth to do anything.
"Ma'am, go ask the general." The usually lively girl frowned tightly and begged Ling Qiufan.
"Okay, I get it." Ling Qiufan patted Lu Chen's head, looking over his head and happened to see Wei Yueyan who had returned from outside.
The smell of blood rushed to the nose before people even reached their eyes, well, they must have gone to kill again.
Wei Yueyan walked forward quickly, and suddenly raised his head to meet his wife's scrutinizing gaze, so frightened, he turned around and walked out.
"Isn't the general planning to celebrate the New Year at home?"
Ling Qiufan's voice sounded behind him, and Wei Yueyan turned back with a sad face, "How can I, I want to spend it at home." This is Ling Qiufan's first New Year after marrying her, and it is also the first time for the two of them. The first time we celebrate the New Year together, of course we have to watch the year together until dawn.It's just... Wei Yueyan looked at the blood stains all over his body in embarrassment, "I'll come back after taking a bath, it smells bad, I don't want to get on you."
"During that time in Longxi City, Xueji and I washed your battle clothes. You didn't say anything at that time, so why are you getting into trouble with me now?" Ling Qiufan couldn't help but said, stepping forward and grabbing the danger. Yue Yan's belt dragged him into the room.
Wei Yueyan was afraid that she would pull all his clothes off, so he obediently followed.
***
indoor
General Wei, whose fierce reputation in the imperial capital was spread all over the streets and alleys, stood in front of Ling Qiufan like a student who didn't do his homework, with his head drooping, and he almost stretched out his hand to beg for a board.
"You don't have to do this. If you take me as your wife, tell me what all this is all about."
Qu Quan was imprisoned yesterday, Ling Xueji's mood was extremely unstable, Ling Qiufan spent the night with his sister in an inn in a neighboring city, and returned this morning, when he heard that Wei Yueyan killed someone in the street yesterday, the person who killed was still Daughter of Princess Chao - the head of Guanling County.But the strange thing is that the royal family did not deal with such a major event. Only the eldest princess in the widowed palace simply said, "There is no way to teach a daughter, and she will end up guilty", and invited herself to go to the Gospel Temple to pray for the dead daughter. respond to this.
Just as the heart that had been hanging for a long time was about to come back to reality, he heard that Wei Yueyan woke up early again and started killing at the feet of the emperor, so frightened that Ling Qiufan almost suspected that he was living in a dream.
Now that he has finally been caught, he needs to have a good interrogation.
When Wei Yueyan heard these words, she seemed to be extremely tired, and all her energy was exhausted in an instant. She sat down on the floor without looking for a chair, and let out a long sigh.
Ling Qiufan stood up and went to the chair, and sat with her, took his beloved's hand and put it in his arms, covering it with his own palm.Wait quietly.
Fortunately, Wei Yueyan didn't keep her waiting too long, he first explained the ins and outs of Qu Quan's imprisonment, and then explained his behavior in the past two days.
"The people I killed were those who relied on their own status to oppress good people, separated their children, and committed crimes."
"In the past, I was a spear in the emperor's hand to guard the border, and Qu Quan was a halberd in the emperor's hand to eradicate dissidents. In the face of many injustices in the world, we are only allowed to watch, not to act. If we really can't see What you wanted to do in the past, you must make all follow-up preparations before you can implement it.”
"And now, he has decided to throw his halberd and sink his gun, and get rid of the two of us one by one."
"Then why is it the same as in the past, tied up and unable to break free?"
Ling Qiufan nodded but shook his head again, "But the people you killed are more powerful than the others, will you do this..." She couldn't say the next words, and she didn't know how to say them.She has seen A Mao break her own legs and do all kinds of tricks in exchange for the Jinling bloody case, she has seen Qu Quan kill the cannibal with blood splashed in the Golden Palace, she has seen Wei Yue Yan's bloody battle at the border but she was accused of treason by others, she is no longer The innocent daughter who was raised in the deep boudoir carefree back then, she knew very well that what Wei Yueyan wanted to do was something she was willing to do, but she was also afraid that if something happened in the future, all the force she exerted would bounce back to Wei Yueyan's body. body.
After all, this is her lover, the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
"Our king is like a man who writes opera scripts. He is loyal, good and treacherous, and all of them are determined by him."
"As for us courtiers, we only need to sing and act step by step according to the person he gave, and we have to continue singing before the end of the play. As long as you sing according to his script, kill and kill indiscriminately on the field, laughing madly and foolishly is not as far as he is concerned. It's all just acting on the spot, if anyone dares to change his original character, then the real end is not far away."
As Wei Yueyan spoke, she embraced the thoughtful Ling Qiufan into her arms, let her wife, who was obviously still digesting the amount of information, lean on her shoulder, and gently stroked her black cloud-like hair.
The last words that Qu Quan said to her before leaving resounded in her mind, like a morning bell, ringing against the clouds.She already understood why Qu Quan said that sentence and showed that expression.
Qu Quan has no time, but she still has a little time.
In its place, perform its duties.
All the evils in the world are repeatedly prohibited, and one person's power is limited after all.
But since he has accepted the word "My lord", he must use the long blade in his hand to kill all the treacherous evil in front of him.
The wrath of the Son of Heaven is unavoidable, in this limited time, let's get rid of a few evil thieves for the common people.
***
Xiatai Prison Division
Ling Xueji waited anxiously at the gate with a food box, and from time to time she took her hands out of her sleeves and exhaled and rubbed them. The food box was put down, for fear that the cold ground would cool the food box in an instant.
Knowing that she was coming to Xiatai, Old Madam Qu wanted to accompany her no matter what she said, the old man looked at her with tears in his eyes, Ling Xueji used all his strength to persuade the old matriarch to come down, before leaving the door He also refused the company of Jiji Thrush and asked them to appease the old lady's emotions, so as not to let the old man continue to be sad.After all, the old matriarch is so old, what kind of place is Xiatai, Qu Quan has offended so many people in the past, maybe he is tortured now, if the old matriarch sees it with his own eyes, I wonder if he can bear it.
Ling Xueji felt that what she was thinking was very rational, and she also thought she was very calm, but as soon as she walked to the gate of Xiatai Prison Division, her calves began to tremble spinelessly.
What was even more unexpected was that she couldn't see Qu Quan at all, the prison department didn't care who she was, Qu Quan lost power, and even her wife, Shang Shu, was not taken seriously.
After waiting for half a day, Shuo Dendrobium and Han Xiao finally came out, bowed to an extremely ugly officer, came out and shook his head at Ling Xueji, took him to an inconspicuous corner, and let out a long sigh .
"Xueji, you must be mentally prepared for what I'm going to say next."
Ling Xueji bit her lip and nodded, but as Shuo Dendrobium spoke carefully about Qu Quan's situation, she burst into tears with a "wow", Han Xiao hurriedly wiped her tears, but the big tears still fell stop.
"Woohoo, how can they do this ... Brother Shicheng gave them so much money, how can they still do this, oh ..."
"Xue Ji, don't worry, Hang Shicheng and Shi Zhuang are already trying to find a way around, maybe they will be able to pick up Ah Quan soon." Shuo Dendrobium comforted, as if a big clock was shaking uneasy in his heart, the voice Sound reminder.
"Brother Hanxiao, help me hold this." Ling Xueji suddenly stuffed a food box into Hanxiao's hand, and ran to the gate, Shuo Dendrobium and Hanxiao didn't hold him back, so they had to go together.Unexpectedly, Ling Xueji used her body skills in a hurry, and at the end of the run, she just jumped up and went directly to the gate of the prison department, with a soft whip whipped around her waist, she spun a few times in the air like a long snake, and rushed towards the prisoner. The hideous officer bit his face——
"Wow, you little girl! What are you going to do!" The officer couldn't dodge in time, his face was slapped with blood by Ling Xueji, and he quickly called the prison guards to stop him.
Ling Xueji took the whip and cursed, "You shameless dog official! Although my husband was imprisoned unjustly, he was not dismissed from office. How could you abuse lynching! And I am still Mrs. Shangshu, not only did you not do anything to me What's the point of yelling at me for basic etiquette!"
Freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, Qu Quan has been out of power for more than a few months, except for Shi Zhuang, no one can replace him, and the rest of the officials who have acquaintances with Qu Quan have all been replaced.Later, the new officials who were airborne or promoted, without exception, treated Qu Quan in the same way but in the back. Now that Qu Quan is in prison, he is too lazy to show it.
In the past, he was suppressed by Qu Quan, but now his boss has let go, and he is even more courageous than the sky. He rushed to punish Qu Quan. On the surface, he wanted to bully the emperor, collude with the enemy and treason, and kill the Taichang Temple minister. When a series of crimes were pried out of her mouth, all of them secretly complained about revenge, as long as they didn't torture people to death, they couldn't be too angry.
The chief is not afraid of her even with the guards, "Mrs. Shangshu? What about Mrs. Shangshu? How can the family members interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment."
Just as Ling Xueji was about to fight back, he heard a clear and cold voice behind him——
"A mere fifth-rank official dares to speak wild words. This Jinling City is really going to be messed up." The visitor came with a feather crown and black hair, with a cool demeanor, and the white robe seemed to be covered in frost and snow.
"Master Shuangge."
The officer who was arrogant and domineering just now bowed down and bowed down together with the guards beside him when he saw the person coming.
Shuang Ge's face remained unchanged, only the corners of his lips tugged slightly, and he sneered coldly, "Why? Don't you look down on Mrs. Shang Shu? Why do you beg me?"
Shuang Ge's words were true, he was the chief supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor, and he was also the wife of the Ministry of War Minister, and the officer with these two identities could hardly argue.
The officer looked constipated and complained in his heart, is this Shuang Ge someone who Wei Yueyan belongs to?When did you have such a good relationship with Qu Quan's wife?Could it be that they were engaged?
Naturally, Ling Xueji didn't know what kind of dirty thoughts were in his mind, if she knew about this prison secretary, she would probably have demolished him today.Now she only took the food box from Han Xiao, and expressed to Shuang Ge that she wanted to go in to accompany Qu Quan to celebrate the New Year.When Shuangge spoke, the officer had to give in if he refused, so he nodded and let him go.
Ling Xueji thanked the three little brothers who came to help, touched the still warm food box in his arms, and hurriedly ran inside.
Shuang Ge ignored the nodding and bowing farewell of the Chief of the Prison Department, and walked out of the Xiatai area with Shuo Dendrobium Han Xiao, and found a remote teahouse to sit down before bowing to each other.
Shuang Ge always went straight to the point, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he got straight to the point.
"Yue Yan seems to be in a good mood now, but in fact she is in the same trap as Master Qu. She must not come forward about the current matter, and she can only help in secret, if you have any needs, you can come to me directly."
Shuo Dendrobium and Han Xiao had already learned from Shi Zhuang that Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan had turned their wars into jades, but they were still shocked when they heard the director of the Military Weapons Supervisor speak so straightforwardly.But only once.
"Thank you then." Shuo Dendrobium cupped his hands.
Shuang Ge asked again: "Master Qu, do you have any words for the two of you?"
"Indeed there are." Han Xiao nodded, and pushed the freshly brewed teacup in front of the Shuangge seat, "Master, please come over with your ears..."
***
Xiatai prison Sixuan name
Ling Xueji looked at Qu Quan, who seemed to have changed in just a day, and the tears that were finally put away began to fall again, "I knew it, I would, I would have brought Ah Jin here, and killed them all. woo woo woo..."
Qu Quanxu stayed in the dark for almost a whole day, seeing either the hideous former subordinates or the hideous instruments of torture, seeing Ling Xueji now, he felt quite vivid and cute, no matter how hard he saw it, he couldn't get enough of it.He smiled subconsciously, but he didn't want to tear the wound on his face. He clenched his teeth and didn't let out a moan, but he couldn't control his heavy breathing for a moment.
"Kitten……"
"Qu Quan, don't move, woo woo woo." Ling Xueji puffed up her cheeks and blew on Qu Quan's wound with distress. The more she blew, the more angry she wanted to smash the prison cell, "You are a girl, how could they hurt you? face! Woooooooooooooooo..."
"Don't cry."
"I don't, woo woo woo..."
Qu Quan sighed, gritted his teeth, moved his bruised body, and tried to change his sitting posture to be more energetic, "We are together every day, and I missed you all day. I want to see you, you look happy, you Okay, can you show me a smile?"
These words are more effective than panacea, Ling Xueji stopped crying immediately after hearing this, wrinkled a smiling face, worked hard for a long time, and finally suppressed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Qu Quan: ...
The water in Ling Xueji's eyes flickered and seemed to overflow.
Qu Quan: "Our Xueji is the most beautiful, I am so happy."
"Pfft ha ha ha." This time Ling Xueji laughed sincerely, but couldn't laugh anymore.
The two sat on the thatch in silence for a while, but it was Qu Quan who spoke first.
"Did you bring me something to eat?" Qu Quan frowned and thought for a while, then smiled warmly: "New Year's Eve dinner?"
It was only then that Ling Xueji remembered that she had brought a food box, and nodded with self-blame, took the food box over, touched it with her hand and quickly opened it, "Qu Quan, try it quickly, this is a pastry made by Jiji, this It's Mammy Zhou's best steamed eggplant with abalone, this... this..."
"Grandmother cooks red bean and purple rice porridge." Qu Quan continued for her.
Ling Xueji turned her back and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were flowing out of her disobedience, and quickly turned back and nodded frantically.Qu Quan also cooperated as if he didn't see it, lowered his head and asked, "Grandmother, are you okay?"
"Grandmother is very strong!" Ling Xueji hurriedly reassured her, and then put out a pile of vegetables. Although it was a New Year's Eve dinner, it was served in a food box, and she only had four dishes, one porridge and one soup when she was full.
Qu Quan looked at Bu Cai and burst out laughing, Ling Xueji gave her a strange look and continued, "What are you laughing at?"
"I remember the first time I sat and ate with you, and you also brought the food in a food box for me to eat."
Although Ling Xueji just sat opposite each other that time and did not eat, Qu Quan was still deeply impressed.
Outside the morgue in Jinwuwei Youjie Yamen, the lights and candles reflected each other in the distance, and that moment was the starting point of their marriage.
Ling Xueji had just filled a bowl of porridge and took a spoon to test the temperature. Hearing what Qu Quan said, his face felt a little hot, but his heart was like an erupting volcano, and the magma mixed with honey was bubbling out in streams. live.
"You still remember."
"Of course I remember." Qu Quan opened his mouth to swallow the porridge that Ling Xueji had fed, and tasted it sweetly, the stomach pain that had been tormenting him for half a day finally got a little relief. "Although my memory is not good enough, there are two things that I will never forget no matter how many years pass."
"One is the details of the case, and the other is all the details about you."
***
Not enough wine but full of food, Ling Xueji and Qu Quan leaned against the cold prison wall, looked up at the skylight leaking from the skylight, and quietly counted the hours.
"Qu Quan, this is the first year I spent with you."
"Yeah." Qu Quan pouted, "I have to be jealous of Wei Yueyan again, she and your sister can have a good meal and set off fireworks at the table together in the first New Year."
Seeing that Qu Quan was still in a joking mood, Ling Xueji also smiled.
With the palm of his hand propped on the ground, he took two steps with his fingertips, and held the other hand. The warmth wound up from the back of the hand, all the way to the bottom of his heart, and became tighter and tighter.
"Qu Quan, I will spend many, many years with you."
"I want, too."
"You can't just think about it, you must promise me."
"..." Qu Quan turned his head, watching the bright and clear moonlight fall on Ling Xueji's curled eyelashes and dance lightly, her wife was nervous and afraid, afraid of something called 'lost'.The softened heart turned into water in an instant, she took a deep breath, and made her tone sound as firm as possible, and then firmer, "Okay, I promise you."
Ling Xueji was satisfied, she wanted to lean on Qu Quan's shoulder but was afraid of touching her wound, so she restrained herself, "Qu Quan."
"Ok?"
"Let's watch the year together! When I was young, my dad told me that as long as I keep watching until the next day, I will surely live a long life!"
"Well, we're all going to live a long life."
***
After all, Ling Xueji failed to keep up with Qu Quan, because the Qu family sent someone to pick up Ling Xueji before the two of them had finished whispering, and Ji Jin quickly took Ling Xueji back before seeing Qu Quan.
"The Prime Minister is here?" Ling Xueji felt like being killed by lightning, "Why did the Prime Minister come to our house?!?!"
Ling Xueji followed Ji Jin in the long corridor of Qu's Xiyuan with a dreamy face, Ji Jin lowered his head to lead the way, and his tone was full of anxiety.
"I've also heard the old matriarch call me that, and I don't know what's going on. Madam will understand when she meets the old matriarch."
In a few words, I arrived at the main hall of Xiyuan. Tonight was New Year's Eve, but because the owner of the Shangshu Mansion was imprisoned, there were no lights and festivities like in previous years.The lights were dim along the way, but now the main hall of Xiyuan is brightly lit.
Ling Xueji followed the collection into the hall with a dazed expression, and was about to call out to the old matriarch, but when she saw the visitor with her head bowed, her eyes became hot, and she knelt down with a plop.
"Daddy!"
