Chapter 10 Earthly vicissitudes

When I walked to the door, Xiaobai rushed to my arms, and the two of us made out. For the first time since Xiaobai was given to me by the previous emperor, I have been separated from Xiaobai for such a long time. However, when I was made such a disturbance by Xiuyuan Anxu, I really eased a lot because of the pain of losing my mother.

Maybe people can forget those unhappy ones when they are busy. As for how to keep yourself busy, let me summarize: first, you must find people you hate; second, these people must be able to toss you and have no time to think about anything else.

When I got home, I remembered that I really didn't find any useful news today. The eldest brother and the second brother have come back, and they all shook their heads. I think if the emperor really wants to do some confidential work, it must be very strict.

Recalling the news I heard from the restaurant today, I asked the eldest brother, "I heard that the envoy of Yue was killed. Do you think the new king may do this by himself?" After listening to my question, the dull atmosphere in the room was slightly relaxed. Even the second brother nodded with relief.

Father Hou gently stroked the white jade jar and looked up at me, "Told your opinion."

I was affirmed and encouraged by my father. I remembered that I had to be a little modest and said slowly, "I don't think it's possible for the new king to do this." The three fathers nodded, and it seems that my analysis is very correct.

I heard that when he met the envoy, although the emperor was angry, he was still laughing, indicating that he was a rational person. Because of reason, no matter how much he wants to destroy this envoy, even if he wants to do it, he will never do it in our country. Therefore, there are two other countries that can kill people in our country and create the illusion of misunderstanding.

Father nodded and sighed slightly, "It's worthy of being my daughter. You're right, but is it the hand of the new emperor but the State of Shu."

"Shu?" I couldn't help exclaiming that this Shu is a dependent country of Yue, and its territory is equivalent to half the size of Yue. I didn't expect that Shu was so bold to hit the idea on Yue. I said, "Who found out?"

The eldest brother and the second brother were slightly stunned, and even his father also pondered for a moment before saying, "The news was released by the State of Zhao, but there is also evidence that the killer is not only from Shu, but also a direct killing style inherited from the State of Shu."

I said, "That's right. If I were Shu, I would definitely not let the people of my country go out and kill people." As soon as I finished my words, the second brother hurriedly stood up and saluted his father, "I suddenly thought of something that needs to be confirmed." He didn't say anything. Obviously, he was in a hurry and didn't have time to explain.

After the second brother left, my father asked me, "If you are Yue, who do you think is the real murderer?"

Finally asked the key point of the question, I smiled confidently and said, "No one is."

The eldest brother said strangely, "He is an envoy. This time he offended our monarch and was killed. You actually said that he was not from these three countries. Then who are you?

I laughed and said, "As a thief, I dare to conclude that it must have been done by the State of Vietnam itself. And the person who did it was definitely not the Yue royal family. Instead of starting from the contradictions between his countries, it is better to take a look at the ordinary social interactions of the envoys, and maybe he will find new clues.

Father Hou laughed and said, "You are a little sure."

I said, "Ten." Father nodded, and today's conversation ended.

For several days after that, I sent someone to the Drunken Building to find out the news, and then sneaked out every day to play with Xiuyuan. I think I am the best person to play with, and the two of them are the ones who accompany me. And I also found a problem. This Xiuyuan may not be what he showed when we first met. He is quite good. Although it is not long, I feel that I am used to the cold plum fragrance on his body, and I will also have a faint and imperceptible cold plum smell on my body.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. These days, my second brother went out early and came back late every day. Finally, he brought back a piece of news one day, which confirmed my guess. The envoys of the State of Yue did it themselves, and it was pure coincidence that the killers of the State of Shu were invited to kill.

In the past half month, Xiuyuan has not been as busy as he said, but can come out and play with me every day. In the past, I may not be familiar with Liaohua City at all, but now at least I won't lose it when I leave again.

In the past half month, it seems that everyone has forgotten that I was awarded the title of princess, and even I have forgotten that I am a canonized princess. It was not until that day that the maid sent the princess to serve some rewards from the new emperor that I remembered that I wanted to go to the palace to thank him.

The next morning, I entered the palace with a heavy princess. Because it was still early to enter the palace and the emperor had not yet set the court, I waited with my father in the side hall. It was not until the emperor of Venus stood with sore legs that he went down.

I think it's not easy to be an emperor. You get up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog. When my father came to me, his face was pale and bloodless. My heart thumped, and my mind suddenly remembered the original intention of the emperor's canonization of me that I had ignored. He straightened his face and wanted to explore his father's tone, but he had to give up looking at his father's face.

And the father's face, only such a big thing can make him, who has always been calm, tremble. I followed my father into the hall. On the dragon chair, there sat a man in a golden robe, and the air was full of familiar and strange cold plum fragrance. He said slowly, "Just now, in the court, this matter has been discussed. Does the Marquis Dingyuan think that the matter of Princess Zhaoning's going to Yue to make peace with us is a blessing in our two countries?" He smiled in a low voice, and his voice was like a ghost whispering.

I raised my head in surprise and said half of his words: "A few days ago, the envoys sent by Yue were killed in our territory. Obviously, someone wanted to destroy the friendly and diplomatic relations between the two countries. You know, I don't have a sister, Marquis Dingyuan..." When he talked to his father, his eyes inadvertently fell on me. The cold plum fragrance in the air also seemed to pause with his tone. When it circulated again, some potential smells changed unconsciously.

I think all the emotions he showed at that moment should be real. He opened his mouth indecently, stunned, unbelievable, shocked, and even became full of bitterness when he finally closed his eyes. He covered up very quickly, but I couldn't hide the past so briskly.

I didn't expect that the new emperor, who sat on the dragon chair and looked calm, had once messed around and blackmailed me, and it was An Xu, a sword next to him and stared at me.

I think the three of us have never thought about it in our lives that we would meet again in this way in less than 12 hours.

After a gentle smile, a faint mist surged up in his eyes. He endured the sadness in his heart and kowtowed his head. When his eyes flashed past his father standing beside him with a pale and transparent face, his fingertips hidden in his sleeves trembled with extreme tolerance. He is carrying the lives of our family, and as the daughter of the Fu family, don't I carry the lives of a family?

From childhood to age, my father and two brothers have grown up to protect my innocence. Sometimes I often feel that I am a hollow beauty. It was not until a few days ago that I analyzed the murder of the envoy of Yue with my father that I actually inherited the genes of my father and mother. In the past, I was always protected by them, but now I want to straighten my chest so that my father is worthy of the emperor, and my eldest brother and second brother are no longer busy for me.

After knocking his head, his heart gradually became clear. It's not that I haven't thought about it before, but I just want to make people simpler. Xiuyuan, no, should be the current emperor Zongxiao. I didn't know his name before, but I heard my second brother mention the name of An Xu, a bodyguard with a knife, and he is famous for his fierce methods. Therefore, I will feel that An Xu's name is familiar. It turns out that they are so high that they are not An Xu I know or Xiu Yuan, who I know the surname Xiu.

And what is their purpose? I think I should know soon after thanking the emperor for his great kindness.

After knocking on one head, I have turned thousands of thoughts in my heart, and every thought seems to be like Ling Chi with a knife in his hand.

I said, "My sister Zhaoning thanked my emperor for long live." It's funny. Twelve hours ago, we were still good buddies, and twelve hours later, we were brothers and sisters. Quickly wipe the tears that were about to fall with the cuffs embroidered with the golden phoenix bird, and then raised his head with a decent grateful smile.

At this time, the Fuwei is no longer the happy Fuwei without any intention, but the Fuwei that instinctively put away the scars all over the body after being hurt by a trusted person. The wound is healed in an instant, and after being cured, it is a permanent scar that can't be removed.

I will accept it, not for our friendship, but not to worry my father. His mother's death suddenly made him too old, and he couldn't stand any ups and downs as he grew older. And I'm going to marry after all. Who am I going to marry? Where can I get married? In the end, I can't stay with my father for a long time and stay with my eldest brother and second brother. But it's good to keep the family business and the life of the family.

As for the relationship with them, I think it was the end that I met them before, but I was the same, which is different. Mo Mo has drowned in the cold plum fragrance of Xiuyuan, but he has not survived well in the cold plum fragrance and completed the next mission.

In the past, it was not that I couldn't figure it out, I just didn't want to face it. As my father said, I was well protected by them, but after all, when I faced things for the first time, my heart was hurt and suffocated me. It was my whimsical body that was wound endlessly and bruised all over my body.

I don't know how to return home from the palace with my father, but as soon as I returned to my room, I collapsed in **, with no strength in my hands and feet. I vaguely threw a cotton towel on my head, and my father came. I smiled sadly. How could my father not feel the breath in the court at that time?

What should come is always coming, and I never wanted to escape. It's just that this is a scar that has just stopped bleeding. Do you have to uncover it again that makes me numb and then suffocate to death? My father sat by the bed and reached out to thorn brocade. The light from the octagonal palace lamp by the bed fell on his father's face, and the wrinkles became clearer and clearer.

I think my father is really old. Maybe he was old before, but we didn't find it. The temples are indeed half white as the eldest brother said, adding to him the vicissitudes of the world when he is late.
