Chapter 345 Love Words, Unsolved Since Ancient Times

"If you want to kill him, then just don't let go and tie him tightly!" The eyes and voice seemed to be cursed with hatred, which made Xu Jiao's heart suddenly tremble.

After saying this sentence, Princess Huiming couldn't stay any longer, she suddenly turned her head, got out of the carriage, slammed the curtain and left.

He Lianshu turned her head to glance at Xu Jiao, she also looked back at him, her sweet smile was still there, but the face was a little pale, even with that smile it looked like a forced smile, falling into He Lianshu's eyes , is to make him pinch the apex of the heart, it hurts badly.

"Don't think too much, she is blaming you." He Lianshu said in a deep voice.

Xu Jiao looked at him and shook her head, expressing her anger, but she knew whether those words were true or not, and so did he.

Xu Jiao lowered her eyes, and asked something else, "What did you mean by the last sentence you said to her?"

"I know He Yuan talked with her in the room for a while later that day, she must have nothing good to say to you..." He Lianshu paused for a moment before saying.

"But at least she didn't do anything to me at that time!" Xu Jiao thought, any mother, no matter what, would take care of her own child, right?Just like when she came here, although she had her own thoughts, she was really worried about He Lianshu's safety, Xu Jiao could clearly see this point.

He Lianshu naturally heard Xu Jiao's implication, but still said coldly, "She will act in a superficial manner, and she will never leave any excuses for the Li family to be criticized in the future!" Now that she has fallen If there were no traces, she naturally had no choice but to stop.

Xu Jiao lowered his eyes lightly and remained silent.

He Lianshu glanced at her, raised his hand and tapped on the carriage, and the carriage started to wobble and run.After a while, he pondered, "It was actually Di Da who made the decision that night, but he was unlucky, and happened to bump into Zi Yiwei to inspect the military department. However, I asked later and found out that she had met Di Da before. Da, the reason why Di Da took the risk was because of what she said inside and out."

"What does she want to do?" Xu Jiao was startled, didn't she know that Di Da and He Lianshu were almost one?If Di Da fell into the hands of the imperial court, wouldn't He Lianshu also be implicated?
"The 15 soldiers and horses in Northern Jie are ready, but the Great Khan has not sent troops to the south for a long time. She and the Li family probably can't wait." He Lianshu's eyes were as cold as ice.

Xu Jiao's heart also trembled, and the way he looked at He Lianshu suddenly changed.

Seeing her looking at him with distressed and sympathetic eyes, He Lianshu was stunned for a while, and after realizing it, he sighed, raised his hand and pressed her head habitually, "No matter what For some reason, she doesn't want my life, at most she just wants to force me to leave, or use some other methods from me to make the Great Khan move faster."

Xu Jiao looked at his pair of lacquer-like eyes and felt a little lost. After a while, she said "Oh".

I'm afraid the Li family really can't wait.Now that civil disturbances are raging everywhere, and Emperor Xian ordered all Jiedu envoys to send troops to stop the chaos, the Li family will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and rise up, but if there were 15 elite troops from Beijiao for them to contain the main force of Wei , it is really beneficial for them to take the lead.

She didn't ask Helian Shu if he was going to leave and when, they had tacitly avoided talking about these topics these days.They all know that there will be a day of separation, but they always hope that this day will never come, or it will come later.

"Then...my second brother..." Xu Jiao's throat moved slightly.

He Lianshu's eyes dimmed, "He knows." His true identity.

"Then he..." Although Xu Jiao had already guessed, at this moment, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"He is your elder brother, and now you are my wife, he will not let you be implicated with me." He Lianshu said in a deep voice, his eyes darkened.

Xu Jiao actually understood, otherwise, where would there be recovered northern border defense maps and "thieves" who subdue the law?But when it comes to He Lianshu, she insists on a definite answer.

"Lian Fang has affection for Jing Qin. He knows that he wants to protect you. He also knows that if he wants to protect you, he must protect me. To protect Di Da, but it is so easy to protect us? That person always needs to give an explanation. Otherwise, both me and Jingqin will have to suffer, Lian Fang said, she is willing, she is a citizen of Beijiao, she didn't know my identity earlier, how offensive, now she is considered a family National friendship."

After He Lianshu casually talked about a woman's choice of life and death, both of them fell silent.

In fact, they all understand that among all the reasons, the most important one lies in the first sentence, Lian Fang has affection for Jing Qin.If it is said that she is for He Lianshu, for her so-called family and country love, it is better to say that she is for Jing Qin, for her hopeless but irretrievable affection.

And these, they knew, Jing Qin, as the person involved, naturally couldn't be ignorant.

"This lotus room can be regarded as talented and beautiful, affectionate and righteous, and it is a good match with my second elder brother. It's a pity..." Xu Jiao sighed, his face full of regret.

Looking up, He Lianshu looked at her with a strange look, which made her inexplicable, and frowned suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

He Lianshu shook his head, "It's nothing." He retracted his gaze, but the corner of his mouth hooked slightly uncontrollably.Forget it, when it comes to some things and some people, it's not a bad thing for her to be so slow, and there's nothing wrong with not telling her.

Speaking of it, everyone is for love, and the word love has never been understood since ancient times.

Two days later, Xu Jiao was able to copy the painting, so he asked He Lianshu to take a closer look. If Helianshu didn't know that the book was fake, he might have thought it was the original painting, no matter how new or old the paper is, It's still ink stains, and I can't see any flaws at all.

Although He Lianshu didn't change his expression, he gave Xu Jiao a thumbs up, "I didn't expect Ajiao to be so amazing."

Xu Jiao was embarrassed by the praise, and such a thing was not very glorious to say. She used to be keen on copying paintings when she was studying, and for this reason, she specially paid homage to a master. The master's ancestor was the famous Suzhou film. To make a living from ancient paintings, Xu Jiao tried his best to learn his housekeeping skills, flattering the uninherited master to such an extent that he treated her like a closed disciple, and handing over all the undisclosed masters. All skills are given.Xu Jiao is not only talented in this area, but also willing to work hard to specialize in research, so, in just two years, she is better than blue, and the imitation she made is difficult for the master to tell the real from the fake.

She has copied many paintings of Mr. Jiuyi before, but she didn't deliberately make them old, but this time she wanted to hide them from his eyes, so she put in a lot of effort, starting from the material of the scroll and the paper used for painting. From the age of the paint to the age of the painting, how well it is kept and how good it is kept are all taken into consideration, using all the skills of his hometown, and comparing them repeatedly, Xu Jiao is sure that he has achieved a one-to-one ratio without any deviation.

Xu Jiao turned his head and took out another painting, the painting was the same, but there were still a little difference in the details, and the paper and ink were new, so it was naturally given by her according to Emperor Xian's order. He copied the paintings.

He Lianshu looked it over carefully and nodded.

"As we expected, that map is not complete!" Xu Jiao showed Helian Shu the topographic map she got from the earlier painting, but it was not worse than what they expected before, the topographic map was clearly Without head and tail, it should be only part of the picture, not all.

"Since the painting is finished, you can send it to the palace to show His Majesty." He Lianshu said in a deep voice.

"Then what if he refuses to give me the next painting?" Xu Jiao still had hidden worries.

"I have to try. He has suspicions, but he also has greed. If he feels that things have no possibility of success, he will definitely try. But you have to be careful and don't put yourself in danger." He Lianshu knew her She is smart, but her safety is involved, so how can she really rest assured?
"I understand!" Xu Jiao nodded, "But, I can't make a special trip to give him this painting, it's a bit too obvious. Besides, I'm filial piety now..."

"As for having filial piety, the Great Wei Dynasty was not as harsh as the previous dynasties. Filial piety can be removed after three seven days. In two days, I will send a message to Concubine Wan. She hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you in her heart." , calling you into the palace is a matter of course."

Xu Jiao knew that He Lianshu and Wang Wan had some secret connection. Wang Wan entered the palace as the concubine of Emperor Xian, and He Lianshu was behind the scenes, so what he said was not very strange. He nodded and said, "I also happen to be a long time I have never paid homage to the queen mother and mother."

Sure enough, after a few days, Mrs. Zhao's three days and seven days were full, and someone came from the palace to send a message, saying that the concubine Wan missed Princess Yingyue, so she asked His Majesty for an order to let Princess Yingyue enter the palace for a while. See.

Xu Jiao tidied up all the things she was going to bring, and entered the palace with Negative Snow.

Caiyun had already received the order, she prepared the soft sedan chair and waited at the gate of the palace, Xu Jiao got into the soft sedan chair and went all the way to Cuiwei Palace.

Autumn is getting stronger, and there are several ginkgo trees in Cuiwei Palace, which are gradually turning yellow in the autumn wind.

Wang Wan pulled Xu Jiao and the two of them to sit by the window, eating cakes and gossiping, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling very comfortable.

The breeze blows gently, the ginkgo leaves by the window rustle, and the yellowish leaves sway gently in the wind.

Under the tree, a few servants were ordered by Caixia to carry some sundries. Wang Wan was just talking, but she paused slightly. Xu Jiao turned her head to look at her, but saw her eyes fell on those people, her eyes It was actually brighter than anything I had seen before.

Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her eyes thoughtfully, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put it on her lips, and took two bites.

Until those few people passed under the tree, they were no longer seen.Only then did Wang Wan look away, but she saw Xu Jiao looking at her with an inexplicable gaze. The gaze made Wang Wan feel a little faint. She picked up a piece of pastry and fed it into her mouth, and asked with a smile, "Ah Jiao What are you looking at me like that for?"

"Isn't it Ah Wan, you lost your mind while talking? I naturally thought you had something to do." Xu Jiao replied in a flat voice.

As soon as Xu Jiao said this, Wang Wan lowered her eyes, seemingly avoiding Xu Jiao's sight unintentionally.

Xu Jiao didn't allow her to escape, and asked softly, "Ah Wan, what do you think of that person? You and him." Do you have feelings?Between a man and a woman, if there is that kind of relationship, who knows if there will be an emotional resonance?
"How can I see him?" But Xu Jiao didn't wait to finish speaking.Wang Wan interrupted her, and stared at Xu Jiao with burning eyes, "He is the one who the Wang family found for me to help me have a child. He is nothing else."

Wang Wan's explanation came quickly and quickly, as if she was afraid that people would not believe it.

Xu Jiao could hear something different, but after taking a look at Wang Wan's appearance, she would not admit it if she said more, and it might be self-defeating.Xu Jiao was silent, so she didn't mention this matter for the time being, but talked about something else, "You said, this person was found by the Wang family for you?" Wang Wan had never mentioned this to her before, and she was worried about Looking at He Lianshu, he didn't ask deeply.

Wang Wan nodded, "Yes."

Xu Jiao's face showed two points of worry, "Ah Wan, you must have a rule in your heart about this matter. Apart from you, the Wang family also has a queen." In the end, this matter gave the Wang family a grip. If it is the handle, it will be a big disaster.

"Don't worry, Ajiao, I have been in the palace for almost a year, and the intrigues in this palace are too much to see, and I have my own calculations." Wang Wan obviously didn't want to talk too much with Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao lowered his gaze, took two sips of tea, ate another snack, got up to say goodbye, and left for Anfu Palace.

When I arrived at Anfu Palace, I met the Queen Mother and the eldest princess.

Seeing the empress dowager's frosty white hair, thin face, and sunken eye sockets, Xu Jiao's heart sank, and the empress dowager looked even worse.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to say some witty words on the face to make the old man happy.Xu Jiao's feelings towards the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess are a bit complicated. They are relatives of Emperor Xian, but they are really good to her, especially the Eldest Princess, who treats her really well. She has no way to get close to them as relatives, but neither There is a way to put all the vengeance of losing her mother and relatives on their heads.In short, it is very contradictory.

The eldest princess saw that she was a little lighter than before, but her spirit was much better than when she met Mrs. Zhao in the mourning hall. She felt at ease, and asked her a lot of questions, Xu Jiao answered them one by one. Just as they were talking lively, they heard a roll call from outside, "Your Majesty is here."

The eldest princess immediately frowned, raised her eyes, and quickly glanced at Xu Jiao beside her, the suspicion flashed away in her eyes.

Before he could think about it any further, Emperor Xian, who was dressed in bright yellow uniform, had already strode in with a smile, and when he got close, he cupped his hands and bowed to the Empress Dowager on the couch, "How is the Empress Dowager?"

The queen mother waved her hand lightly, without saying a word, the smile on her face faded by two points, she looked tired, and gently closed her eyes.

Emperor Xian seemed to have disappeared, turned his head and hurriedly said to the Eldest Princess and Xu Jiao who bowed their knees and bowed to him, "Sister Huang and Yingyue don't need to be too polite, please hurry up."

The eldest princess and Xu Jiao stood up straight according to their words.

"Is Your Majesty not busy with government affairs today? How did you come to Anfu Palace?" The Eldest Princess said indifferently, the words were obviously plain, but there seemed to be hidden thorns between the lines.

Just now Xu Jiao felt that there was something wrong with the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Emperor Xian. Hearing this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the eldest princess very quickly.
