The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her

In the middle of the night, Lin Ruoxi had another nightmare. When she woke up, her head was covered in cold sweat, and even the back of her clothes was wet with sweat.

Mo Xueyuan was standing by the door, and when she heard a scream coming from the room, she hurried over, seeing Lin Ruoxi's pale face, she worriedly asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes and just waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

Mo Xueyuan couldn't help guessing: "Could it be, are you having nightmares again? Master, you have been having nightmares for three consecutive days and three nights."

Lin Ruoxi smiled bitterly: "It's not just three days and three nights, I've had this nightmare for more than a year, every time in my dream I would see Qiuyan and Leng Xin being stabbed to death by bad guys in order to protect the old lady and Aunt Liu, and the old lady Ren and Aunt Liu begged those bad guys to let Xiao Jinghua go, but in the end they were still killed. Thinking of their tragic death, I would wake up from the nightmare in fright."

Mo Xueyuan also knew that the death of the old lady and Aunt Liu had already dealt a serious blow to Lin Ruoxi, and coupled with the fact that Young Master Xiao Jinghua was missing, her master was worried day and night, looking for his whereabouts everywhere , but after this year, there is still no news... And her master is getting more and more guilty of not protecting her relatives, so she has nightmares every night, and the dreams are all about this scene.

Mo Xueyuan brought a cup of hot tea for Lin Ruoxi: "Master, drink a cup of hot tea to suppress your shock!"

Lin Ruoxi took the teacup, took a sip, and then let out a breath. Recently, for some reason, she was always worried, as if something bad happened.

The night wind blew in, shaking the wooden window, and slapped the carved window wood with a bang, bang, bang. Mo Xueyuan got up and closed the wooden window tightly. Looking back, Lin Ruoxi had already put on a pink cloak , walked out of the house.

Today's moonlit night was very bleak, the howling wind swayed the peach petals on the peach blossom tree to the ground, Lin Ruoxi sighed softly, walked to the stone bench under the peach blossom tree and sat down, resting her chin with her hands and thinking about something.

At this moment, a figure of a man in blue clothes suddenly stopped outside the yard, and then that figure walked into Lin Ruoxi's yard, and sat down quietly on the stone bench next to Lin Ruoxi.

Mo Xueyuan originally wanted to remind Lin Ruoxi that the fourth son, Situ Zhan, had come to visit her in her boudoir, but Lin Ruoxi was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that someone was sitting beside her.

The moonlight reflected her porcelain-white face brightly and cleanly. Her eyelashes were thick and black, slightly curled up, trembling slightly with the spring breeze, as beautiful as a black butterfly flapping its wings.

Her eyes are deep and black, as if they have a strong attraction, as long as you look into them, you will be unable to extricate yourself. Situ Zhan was only roughly looking at Lin Ruoxi's face, but when he saw her pair of beautiful eyes , could not help but be attracted by her bright black eyes.

"Xueyuan, I really want to go back to the past... At least there are not so many troubles, and they are always by my side, I feel that life is very happy and enjoyable!"

"Then, with all the people in Pingyang Hou's mansion accompanying you, aren't you happy, Ruoxi?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly: "I'm very happy now, so I'm also afraid, afraid that one day I really won't be able to leave here."

"Get out of here? Ruoxi...where are you going?" Situ Zhan asked curiously.

Lin Ruoxi just woke up, looking at Situ Zhan with a handsome face and eyes as bright as black agate, she stood up in shock, and asked in disbelief: "Fourth brother, when did you sit beside me? She looked at Mo Xueyuan again: "Xueyuan, brother four is here, why didn't you tell me!"

Mo Xueyuan felt very innocent, even though Situ Zhan had reminded her not to tell her master that he had come to her, she still tried every means to hint to her master that someone was coming, but Lin Ruoxi thought too much So serious that she didn't even notice that Situ Zhan came to her.

"Master, I..."

Situ Zhan hurriedly interjected: "Little sister, don't blame Xueyuan, I didn't let her tell you that I came here. Just now I heard my little sister say that you are afraid that one day you will fall in love with this place and you will not be able to leave Here... what does this mean?"

Lin Ruoxi was startled at first, and then smiled calmly: "It's nothing interesting, I'm just talking casually!"

Of course, Situ Zhan didn't believe that Lin Ruoxi was just talking casually, but seeing that Lin Ruoxi was determined not to tell the reason now, he stopped asking.

He picked the important things and said: "Little sister, I have placed some people in the Jade King's Mansion, and they told me that the Jade King once left the Jade King's Mansion angrily, but when he came back, he was smiling all over his face. It was because someone was willing to help him and make suggestions for him, that's why he was so happy."

Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly, and thought for a while: "I think Empress Wu will definitely not help him. She takes a long-term view of things and puts the overall situation first... Could it be His Royal Highness who wants to help the Jade King?"

Situ Zhan suddenly realized: "His Royal Highness has a good friendship with the Jade King. It seems that, as my younger sister said, His Royal Highness is going to help the Jade King. But... I still can't think of how His Royal Highness will help him. Woolen cloth?"

Lin Ruoxi faintly felt that something was wrong, but she didn't say it out, but stood up with a smile and stretched her waist: "Fourth brother, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early, we're talking about this tomorrow thing."

Situ Zhan nodded: "That little girl, let's talk tomorrow!" He stood up and left Lin Ruoxi's yard thoughtfully.

Mo Xueyuan also felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled lightly: "It seems that we have to leave the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and go back!"

"Go back? Do you want to go back to that house?" 13acv.

Lin Ruoxi nodded, Mo Xueyuan knew what Lin Ruoxi was thinking, so she stopped talking, prepared some things to bring out, and Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoxi walked through the secret door that Tuobatian used to enter and exit the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night, and left together The Marquis of Pingyang, and riding the prepared horse, rushed back to the house where he once lived in the Southern Border Kingdom.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw that the house was already brightly lit, and the seal on the door had been torn off. Lin Ruoxi and Mo Xueyuan looked at each other, and the two hid their horses in a safe place, turned over and jumped in. In the house.

"There is nothing here, it's empty. How do I go back and report to the Jade King?" The guard in Chinese clothes stomped his feet angrily, and searched for a long time, but there was no movement.

Afterwards, more than a dozen guards gathered together one after another. They were equally astonished. They didn't find anything or clues, and they just gritted their teeth in hatred.

Just when these people were about to leave the house, suddenly a guard was very optimistic about the garden in the house. He actually picked up his long sword and stirred up the soil on the garden, but at this moment, he felt his long sword like a stab He got into something hard, pulled out his long sword, and waved to the dozen or so guards who were about to leave: "Come quickly! There seems to be something strange here!"

More than a dozen guards hurried over, and they all dug up the soil in the garden with some iron tools. They found a wooden coffin here before it was too deep. The ten of them hurriedly opened it as if they had discovered a treasure. The wooden lid of the coffin.

Something unbelievable happened to them. Isn't the person lying in the coffin the eldest lady of Situ's family?

They suddenly understood that according to Jade King's confession, it seems that the eldest lady who lives in Situ's house is not real, but a fake.

"Why, have you seen enough?" The cold voice came from behind, and the body of the dozen or so guards trembled in shock.

They looked back slowly, and what they saw was a woman with the same face as in the coffin. Although the face of the woman lying down had changed slightly, it was still the same as the woman standing in front of them now.

Their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, pointing at Lin Ruoxi, they asked tremblingly, "Are you... a human or a ghost?"

"To tell you the truth, I am a person, and I am still a living person, but you have also seen that I am not the real Miss Situ, so... you all have to die!" After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, she took out a bag from her bosom. Holding the dagger, he exchanged glances with Mo Xueyuan, and the two quickly rushed over.

These more than ten guards are all outstanding martial arts masters in the Jade Palace, but they don't know that Lin Ruoxi once put a secret drug of poisonous herbs in this coffin. Herbal secret medicine, soon the whole body will feel weak and dizzy.

Lin Ruoxi moved as quickly as a leopard. Two or three guards had already fallen down between the movements of the knife. Their throats were all pierced by Lin Ruoxi. It can be seen that Lin Ruoxi's killing methods are quite ruthless, and no one will be left alive.

Soon, the dozen or so guards were all killed. Mo Xueyuan and Lin Ruoxi made sure that the guards were all dead, and then withdrew their knives.

Lin Ruoxi saw Situ Ruoxi lying in the coffin, she had already lost a lot of weight, and the skin on her face was also a little damaged, she sighed softly, and told Mo Xueyuan, "Xueyuan, we still have Let Miss Situ be cremated!"

Mo Xueyuan nodded, and according to Lin Ruoxi's instructions, she found dry firewood, placed Situ Ruoxi's body on top of the falling dry wood, then lit a torch, ignited the dry firewood, and followed the whistling The spring breeze blew, and the fire of the dry wood was getting bigger and bigger. Gradually, the flames surrounded Situ Ruoxi's body, and soon Situ Ruoxi's body gradually disappeared into the flames.

Lin Ruoxi sighed: "Miss Situ, you and I are also destined. If you hadn't been killed for me, I'm afraid I would be the one who died. Now that I have become you, then I will definitely hug this girl for you. hateful."

She picked up the ashes on the ground and put them into a small blue jar, and buried Situ Ruoxi's remaining bones under a blossoming peach tree.

"Master, I have already buried the corpses of the dozen or so guards in the garden. Let's leave here as soon as possible, lest the Jade King become suspicious and send someone to check here and find us!"

Lin Ruoxi nodded. Holding the ashes, she smiled faintly: "Miss Situ, I will store your ashes for you. When the day I avenge you, I will hold your ashes and go see with my own eyes. How did they die at my hands."

Ask half-ruo after waking up.Mo Xueyuan called softly: "Master, let's go!"

Lin Ruoxi hugged the ashes urn, walked out of the house, sealed the door with paper, jumped on the horseback and left the mansion at high speed.

The sky was slightly bright, and the Jade King's mansion was brightly lit that night. The Jade King was lying on the couch, frowning, and was waiting for the news, but after waiting for so long, no one came back to report.

He sent someone to investigate the news there, and he should be back by this time.

Suddenly, a guard came in a hurry.

"Speak to the Jade King, just now the servant went to the house that the Jade King mentioned to find them, but found that there was no one there, did something happen to them?"

After the guard finished saying this, he hesitated, fearing that the Jade King would be upset, so he beheaded him.

Sure enough, the Jade King was furious, and smashed the teacup on the coffee table onto the forehead of the guard, who fell to the ground with a grin.

"Useless things, all of you are really useless things, but you didn't find anything, even the people disappeared? How do you want this king to embrace this hatred?"

King Yu got up from the bed, his back was still in pain like tearing, but right now he didn't care about the pain on his body, when he remembered that he was beaten with a board, and his favorite man Tuoba Chen was also tortured with a stick , his full of anger ignited.

He personally got someone to prepare the carriage and rushed towards the house, but after arriving at the house, he still didn't find any suspicious traces. Just as he was about to leave, he discovered that the soil in the garden of the house seemed to have been buried by someone. After it was refurbished, he hurriedly ordered people to dig out the soil in the house, and quickly dug out the bodies of more than ten guards sent earlier.

He was so angry that he almost fainted. He didn't expect that someone would strike earlier and more ruthlessly than him. Now in this house, he might not be able to find any clues.

One of Yuwang's confidants, Wu Shiwei, reminded Yuwang in his ear: "Yuwang, have you forgotten? We are in Pingyanghou's mansion, and we have placed our people!"

King Yu suddenly remembered, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead: "That's right! How could this king forget, it's time to use her now."

Guard Wu hurriedly said courteously: "Then Yu Wang, leave this matter to the servant, and the servant will bring her to the Yuwang Mansion."

Yu Wang nodded: "Okay, but you must be careful, don't let the people in Pingyang Houfu find out."

Guard Wu bowed and said: "Jade King, don't worry, this servant will definitely handle this matter properly!"

Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Situ came to Lin Ruoxi and said that the old lady was so happy that she insisted on having breakfast with the whole family. Lin Ruoxi slept for less than half an hour that night, and now she is also in a daze, but she feels that the hospitality is hard to get over. , and went to the old lady's yard with Mrs. Situ.

What she didn't expect was that Li Mao, a beautiful man dressed in Chinese clothes, with a friendly smile and eyes as bright as black pearls, was sitting at the dining table.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi coming, Li Mao stood up politely: "Cousin, you are here!"

Lin Ruoxi nodded politely: "I didn't expect my cousin to visit the old lady early in the morning and have breakfast together, so it's obvious that he has intentions."

Situ Yu, Marquis of Pingyang, smiled lightly: "King Mao has been polite since he was a child. He is a rare talent, an excellent man, Ruoxi... what do you think of King Mao?"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady also smiled: "Ruoxi, I watched Mao Wang grow up, so I know this child very well, he is really good, Ruoxi... what do you think?"

Lin Ruoxi saw everyone in the room, they seemed to be looking at her enthusiastically, as if they were waiting for her to express their thoughts on King Mao.

But Lin Ruoxi really didn't have any feelings for this King Mao, but because so many people were here, waiting for her to reply, she said insincerely: "Cousin Mao Wang is handsome, both civil and military, and he is an outstanding man." Man, Ruoxi certainly thinks Cousin Mao Wang is too good."

Mrs. Situ, however, has a different expression from Pingyanghou and the old lady. She understands her daughter's heart. From the time her daughter walked very close to the third young master of the Mo family and Lord Jingyu, she can tell that her daughter is sincere. I really want to get along with one of them.

Although this King Mao was good, he couldn't win his daughter's heart.

Mrs. Situ saw that the old lady and Situ Yu were both happily laughing. She held down the words she wanted to persuade, took Lin Ruoxi's hand and sat in a seat next to King Mao. She sat between Lin Ruoxi and Li Mao. middle.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Situ in surprise, but Mrs. Situ said calmly: "It's rare for everyone to have breakfast together, and the old lady is still so happy... Let's eat!"

The old lady coughed lightly, but Madam Situ didn't intend to get up, she couldn't help frowning: "Madam, are you sitting in the wrong seat?"

Mrs. Situ looked at the old lady seriously and said: "No, don't I just sit here to eat on weekdays? Old lady, is there something wrong?"

The old lady knew the nature of this daughter-in-law. If she decided on something, it would be like a nail was nailed into the board, and it would never change.

She ate the food given to her by the two granddaughters-in-law, so she didn't talk too much, but Situ Yu sighed helplessly. It seemed that his wife liked this daughter so much that he would feel reluctant to marry her off.

From the beginning to the end, Li Mao ate his meals politely, and his gestures were even more graceful. He didn't show any unnaturalness or resentment at Mrs. Situ's intentional blocking of him and Lin Ruoxi from approaching.

Until the breakfast table was used up and the food was evacuated from the table, King Mao suddenly suggested: "I haven't competed with my cousins ​​for a long time, how about we compete in the yard?"

Situ Zhan, who was dressed in blue and handsome, nodded with a smile and said: "Good idea, I haven't competed with King Mao for a long time."

Situ Han has a well-defined face and a somewhat simple and honest smile, but the cute Situ Han is already gearing up: "King Mao, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Li Mao showed his neat white teeth, and blinked at Situ Zhan's two brothers: "Then... shall we start?"

Li Mao walked to the center of the yard first, and then Situ Zhan rushed over. His steps were very light and fast, like a swallow, and he slapped Li Mao's handsome face with his head. Li Mao seemed casual and stood quietly. He was on the same spot, but when Situ Zhan struck with his leaning arm, he saw that he was about to hit his handsome face, so Li Mao tilted his body, slipped his feet, and dodged it.

Immediately afterwards, Situ Zhan repeatedly entered the palace and Li Mao counted. Li Mao mainly avoided Situ Zhan's attacks one after another.

Situ Han smiled honestly. Seeing that the fight between the two of them was in full swing, he rushed over eagerly. He saw Situ Zhan attacking Li Mao with his fists, so he changed his method and used his own quick feet to attack Li Mao one after another. Mao launched an offensive, and his moves were so ruthless and fast. Even if Li Mao had high martial arts skills, it would be difficult for Li Mao to deal with the two brothers Situ Zhan and Situ Han who were also masters in martial arts.

Who knew that Situ Han smiled honestly at Situ Zhan: "Fourth brother, you have to be careful!"

Just as Situ Zhan punched Li Mao, he suddenly felt bad. Unexpectedly, Situ Han changed his target and attacked Situ Zhan together with Li Mao. Situ Han's attack was fierce and fast. The three played differently, but they were evenly matched.

Not long after Li Mao and Situ Han cooperated, Li Mao smiled politely at Situ Han, and attacked Situ Han together with Situ Zhan.

The three cooperated with each other in this way, and carried out a series of offensives indiscriminately. In the end, the shoes on Situ Han's feet were trampled off by Situ Zhan and Li Mao. Situ Han yelled: "Hey, you are too despicable. Give me back my shoes!"

Li Mao smiled gracefully: "You can get it if you have the ability!"

Situ Zhan with a handsome smile did not forget to tease: "Second brother, I also have a shoe here, you can take it if you have the ability."

Situ Han stood where he was, in a dilemma, because these two people made it clear that they were going to make fun of him. At this time, a gust of wind came, and a white figure shuttled between them. Just when Situ Zhan and Li Mao were stunned, Situ Han's shoes that they were stepping on had been taken away by this white shadow.

The old lady, Pingyang Marquis Situ Yu and Mrs. Situ were also surprised. They looked intently, and it was indeed Ruoxi who took away Situ Han's shoes and sent them to Situ Han's feet.

Lin Ruoxi smiled demurely: "If you bully Second Brother like this, Ruoxi can't stand it!"

However, Situ Han remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Little sister, you also know martial arts!"

"It's just superficial, you guys continue to compete!" Lin Ruoxi smiled very calmly, and didn't think there was anything special about it.

But everyone in the Marquis of Pingyang was amazed by her quick and agile footwork.

Just as Situ Yu was about to ask something, he saw an attendant rushing over from outside the courtyard, and the attendant reported nervously: "Master Pingyang, King Yu and Jing Zhaoyin brought a lot of guards to the Hou Mansion to ask for an audience!"
