Gongqing bone

Chapter 87
Xue Feibai saw Du Heng's face became more gloomy and frightening, he couldn't help but poked her and said, "Hey, don't think about other people openly..."

"I'm thinking of Xiao Zimei..."

"That duplicitous woman? What do you want her to do?" Xue Feibai was very puzzled.

The scheming Xue Feibai has seen it before, "Have you ever seen her double-decker?" Du Heng asked.

"She first liked Lin Junyun, the eldest son of the Lin family, and then the Lin family's collapse took the initiative to show off at the banquet where the ten princes were actually choosing concubines. What is it if it's not 'double-faced and three-handed'?"

"What!" Du Heng was horrified, Xiao Zimei likes her brother!But why has she never shown it? "Are you sure Xiao Zimei likes Lin Junyun? But doesn't Lin Junyun have a fiancée?"

After finishing speaking, Du Heng fell silent, no wonder Xiao Zimei wanted to assassinate Qin Jinshu, the original source was here; presumably Xiao Zimei confessed to her brother secretly, but her brother had a marriage contract with Qin Jinshu, so she would only treat Xiao Zimei as a younger sister, She didn't expect her to destroy the entire Lin family because of love and hatred!
There is also the armlet made by her own brother, she took it away secretly, it is bullshit to miss "Sister Zhijun"!To her, it was nothing more than a showy trophy, a trophy that could be easily destroyed if she loved it but couldn't get it!

This Xiao Zimei is very strange. When she was young, she followed her grandfather to Yunnan and saw a piece of ore and kept it for many years. Brother Xinyue used all kinds of vicious methods to assassinate his orthodox fiancée. Later, when he found out that his brother would never marry her, he simply resigned. She came up with the idea of ​​helping the prince seize the heir, and the heir she chose was the Eighth Prince Party.

Therefore, the destruction of the Lin family was her certificate of honor, not only cutting off the prince's arm, but also taking the "gold mine" into her pocket!However, because the mountains are high and the roads are far away and it is adjacent to other countries, we can only cooperate with Long Wanzong, who raises bandits, and seek skins from tigers.

It's just that there is no gold mine here at all, even if she runs out of tricks.

Du Heng even suspected that Xiao Zimei was so ambitious that she would only be willing to marry the tenth prince and be the concubine of an idle prince?

Her heart is suffering from the battle between heaven and man, and Jin Hua and her third uncle are not in the same mood:
"Master Wu, Mr. Lin, who has been kind to our village, will really cooperate with the enemy and treason?" the old man asked Wu Youdong cautiously.

Wu Youdong didn't dare to look the old man in the eyes: "There is 'evidence', but due to the relationship between Mr. Lin and Mr. Li, the Holy One is secretly dissatisfied with the Lin family..."

Du Heng and Xue Feibai were young, so they didn't know the grievances and grievances involved behind the orthodox dispute between Xinxue and Neo-Confucianism. They just heard that Wu Youdong seemed to know something inside, so they asked privately.

Wu Youdong is upright and open, and he doesn't hide it, telling the whole story about the past.

Du Heng was stunned when he heard this, his father, and his elder brother, they all specialize in studying the mind... It turns out that the likes and dislikes of the Tian family are the invisible hands that pushed the Lin family into the abyss at the critical moment...

***
After Zhou Xian had a banquet in the palace, he went back to the East Palace decorated with lanterns and festoons alone to watch the new year.After having a dinner with all the uncles at the imperial grandfather's place, watching the father and the king rush directly into the concubine Ji's backyard after returning to the East Palace, and listening to the mother and concubine's grotesque complaints.

After comforting his mother and concubine, he finished his official duties, and finally ushered in his own time alone.

It has been more than half a year since Zhijun, and only now did I realize the emptiness in my heart.

In the past six months, he has no time to be sad, no time to remember, no time even to rest, he can only tidy up the remaining forces non-stop to guard against the attacks of the third and eighth uncles; he also has to search for evidence waiting to avenge Lin Jiaping. .

This was done only for the sake of the Lin family and Zhijun, and more for the sake of bringing down Third Uncle and the others in the future.

But today, with the lights of thousands of houses and the time of reunion, he also realized that he also needs company and comfort. He is not as invulnerable as everyone thinks.

He thought of going south with his uncle Lin Junyun, and saw the horse-headed whitewashed walls, slanted eaves and black tiles, and wooden lattice windows. He also had a flash in his mind that it would be nice to live such a life with Zhijun...but that was just moment...

He looked at the white belly that had already dawned on the horizon, and it turned out that he had been sitting alone for so long...

Zhou Xian poured a glass of wine for himself and the empty wine glass opposite, and poured the glass on the blue brick after he drank it, and said to himself: "Zhi Jun, happy birthday..."

"His Royal Highness, I have a letter!" Just as Zhou Xian was about to wash his face and go to the study, the housekeeper stumbled and ran over without courtesy.

Zhou Xian frowned subconsciously: "What are you doing yelling, how decent is it?"

"I'm sorry Your Highness, but I think you will be happy..." The butler knelt down and kowtowed, but his face couldn't hide his joy.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The person who sent the letter to Mr. Lin has been caught!"

"what?!"

"It's true! After the Lin family disappeared, that person felt that someone would kill him, so he hid himself; when our people found him, he recruited everything. He said that someone ordered him to tell Lin Da The young master has the whereabouts of the lost granddaughter of the Duke of Qin!..."

The sky had already turned pale. Xue Feibai caught two fish and grilled them. He tested the temperature first, and then he couldn't stop hissing, trying to grab his burned fingers to grab the earlobes.

"Hoohoo, it's so hot, so hot, Du Heng, help me hold it~"

Du Heng, who was sitting by the Nanmilanzhang River, took the branch with the fish in it, and his face, which had been silent for a long time, fluctuated a little.She raised her eyebrows, as if it was roasted very fragrant... Immediately afterwards, there was a gurgling sound from her belly...

Du Heng: ...

Xue Feibai smirked: "'People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry'. Although my wife ran away this time, the most important thing is to fill your stomach..."

She tore off a piece and chewed slowly: "Xue Feibai, do you know? Today is my birthday..."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Xue Feibai stuck the branch with another fish on the ground, and straightened his clothes: "No, your birthday isn't...cough, I mean it doesn't seem to be in your geng post..."

But immediately seeing the flash of loneliness on Du Heng's face, Xue Fei was full of doubts and couldn't say a word.

"Yes, yes..." He stammered, "'The first day of the first day of the empress and the fifteen officials', your birthday is really a good day... But you said it in a hurry, the birthday gift I prepared for you has not yet arrived. ..."

"Yes, it's very good. Everyone said it was very good..." Du Heng interrupted Xue Feibai blankly, not knowing whether he was talking to him or talking to himself.

But then she returned to her usual indifference and indifference.

It's just that at this time, Du Heng's face showed some inevitable sternness:
"Even if people are born to bring poverty, lowliness and wealth, there is one thing that God is equal to everyone. That is, no matter how wise and wealthy people are, they only have one life."
