Chapter 35

Han Shushan gritted his teeth, his expression was uncertain, he stared at him bitterly, and when he was about to leave, a black shadow came from behind him.

Han Shushan made a backhand, climbed up to the man's wrist and was about to bend down, when suddenly a more dangerous fist hit him from behind, he had to let go of the man and raise his hand to resist.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Chengfeng pulled Xie Jiuxiao back to the side, put on an appearance that he didn't want to do anything again, and said, "I'm sorry, my young master thought it was some young boy, and he misjudged the person."

Neither of them wanted to make a move, but Xie Jiuxiao, who was grabbed by Lu Chengfeng, stared at Han Shushan with a gloomy look on his face, "Jin Yiwei's dogs are really everywhere! How dare you do it without barking all over the street?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head lightly, a little helpless, thinking that youth is frivolous.

Han Shushan, who was scolded as a dog, was obviously used to it. He smiled and didn't smile, but he didn't say anything. His eyes fell on Lu Chengfeng and stared at him. Xie Jiuxiao stood in front of him displeased: "Your pair of dog eyes are blind!" What are you looking at!"

Lu Chengfeng was blocked by Xie Jiuxiao, looked up at his back, his head was tilted, his expression was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

She smiled, but didn't move.

As soon as Han Shushan left, Xie Jiuxiao turned around and saw Lu Chengfeng smiling strangely. He didn't bother to ask what happened for the time being, and said, "...What are you laughing at?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said nothing, but he couldn't hold back his smile. She had to lower her head, trying to make herself smile less presumptuously, but her shrugged shoulders betrayed her.

Xie Jiuxiao was stunned: "...Sister?"

Lu Chengfeng laughed enough, raised his head, looked at Xie Jiuxiao and said, "It's nothing, it's just... just thought of something suddenly."

Her face gradually softened, and she still had a smile on her face. She took out the jade pendant and handed it to him: "This is for you."

Xie Jiuxiao didn't expect that the thing he had been looking for for a long time would suddenly come back to his hand. He glanced around and didn't say anything. Girl, I'll take you home."

Mu Wanwan lowered his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, miss."

Mu Houhou walked in front, and the two of them followed at a close distance. Lu Chengfeng watched her enter a farmhouse. From the outside, there was a light on inside the house. They were about to leave when they heard A desperate cry came from inside the room: "... Qianqian!"

The two of them followed into the house, but they saw Mu Wanhou's face was full of tears, holding a half-grown girl in his arms in a daze, but the girl was ignorant, neither crying nor laughing, obviously dead.

It was such a pleasant and sad night.

Lu Chengfeng thought so.

On the way back, the two of them didn't say anything because of the Muhouhou incident. After arriving at Qinyuan, Lu Chengfeng simply washed up and fell asleep.

However, tonight is destined not to pass like this.

Before dawn, the tranquility of Qinyuan was broken. Thirteen hurried in, knocked on the door, and pushed the door in without waiting for Xie Jiuxiao to call. Lu Chengfeng just opened the door after washing up, and heard one after another A distant bell.

Lu Chengfeng frowned, and looked far away along the source.

Is this... death knell?
Xie Jiuxiao obviously heard it too, halfway through his robe, he couldn't help walking out.

Thirteen followed behind and said, "Young master, there is news from the palace that the emperor passed away at four o'clock today."

The death of the emperor is of great importance, and hundreds of officials enter the court.

Lu Chengfeng was obviously absent-minded after eating breakfast. After Sanniang frequently cast surprised looks, she lowered her head to look at the empty bowl in her hand, smiled embarrassedly, put it down and said, "I was distracted by thinking about things."

San Niang said indifferently: "I just want to tell the girl that there is still some in the pot. If you are still hungry, I will fill some more."

"I'm done eating."

Lu Chengfeng got up and walked out, and the shock that the news of the emperor's death brought to her was almost dissipated. After the funeral, there will be a new emperor, what kind of new world will Yasukuni be?

Little did she know, there were two factions in the palace.

The emperor passed away suddenly, without leaving an edict, it should be the crown prince of the East Palace, but the crucial point is that when the emperor passed away last night, the commander of Jin Yiwei, Meng Fanzhong, was by his side, saying that the emperor left an edict, Xuansu king Qin Mian enthroned.

As the centralizer of the cabinet, Xie Yi's attitude is the attitude of many officials, but when all the officials went to inquire, the usually energetic old man covered his lips and kept coughing. Everyone only thought it was his evasion Fa, someone was still cursing cunning in their hearts, but the next moment, someone panicked and helped him up, and his voice became a bit sharper: "Old Man!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out from between his fingers.

Xie Yunqian was kneeling in the distance, and when he heard the movement, he immediately rushed forward, supporting the person with a panicked expression, even his voice was trembling: "Grandfather? Grandfather?"

"Quick! Doctor Xuan!"
-
I don't know if it's a blood relationship, but for a moment Xie Jiuxiao's chest felt so tight that he couldn't even hold the pen. A sharp pain spread from his chest to his body, and he had to lie down on his stomach. On the table, he was panting heavily.

When Lu Chengfeng knocked on the door and came in, she saw such a scene. She was shocked. Based on the delicate impression Xie Jiuxiao left on her, Lu Chengfeng almost subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead. Help up: "... Where is it uncomfortable?"

There was a dense layer of cold sweat on Xie Jiuxiao's forehead, and he held her tightly with one hand. He could bear the pain just now, but when she came, those persistence seemed to be gone. His jaw was stretched into a line, and he looked very forbearing. : "Chest..."

However, in the next moment, the pain suddenly dissipated from the limbs.

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help panting in a low voice, raised his head in the exhaustion, and looked at Lu Chengfeng blankly.

Lu Chengfeng squinted his eyes, and tentatively said, "...does it hurt?"

Xie Jiuxiao nodded.

Lu Chengfeng saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, but he couldn't explain the sudden pain, so he thought for a while and said, "I'll let Doctor Wu take a look."

She let go and was about to walk out when Thirteen stumbled over anxiously.

Xie Jiuxiao's heart sank, he got up and took two steps forward, Shisan's eyes were red, and he looked very sad: "...Young Master, Elder Ge is back, you go... hurry! Elder Ge is dying... ..."

These words were like a bolt from the blue to Xie Jiuxiao, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, Lu Chengfeng didn't believe it for a while, but Shisan was about to cry, Xie Jiuxiao staggered a few steps, and suddenly turned outward run.

He was so distraught that he almost fell down, but was supported by Lu Chengfeng who followed, she didn't say anything, after she let go, he continued to walk without knowing it, and soon reached the yard, Zhou Lihua burst into tears at the door , After seeing him, he made a wry smile: "...Grandpa is waiting for you inside, go in quickly."

Xie Jiuxiao stepped into the room in a daze, and the eldest brother knelt beside the bed, looking incompetent and decadent. He kept his head down, and even Xie Jiuxiao didn't move when he came in.

Xie Jiuxiao knelt down and called out to his grandfather, but his eyes were red.

Xie Yi smiled slightly, resisting the colic in his heart, and said slowly: "My dear grandson...you are here..."

Xie Jiuxiao has never cried since he became sensible, but he couldn't help it now. He gritted his teeth desperately, and his voice choked: "Grandfather..."

Xie Yi's face obviously couldn't hold it anymore, showing a pale gray color. He has lived for more than 60 years, and he has stepped through all kinds of knives and fires, but facing Xie Jiuxiao, the little guy he used to hold in his palm since he was a child, he still can't stand it. She, he spoke obviously slowly: "... Grandfather is most worried about you... You have been playful since you were a child, and sometimes even your elder brother can't control you. Once I let go, the burden of the Xie family will be all If you are on top of him, there will be no one to discipline you...I think I can't let go...Jiu Xiao..."

Xie Yi coughed heavily, paused for a moment, and said: "...At the beginning when your eldest brother allowed you to express the word Jiuxiao, he wanted you to be unrestricted...like the wind to be free...but...but..."

Xie Jiuxiao held his hand tightly, his face collapsed, and his throat seemed to be filled with sand.

Xie Yi sighed weakly, and said, "In the future..."

Xie Jiuxiao wiped his face, then suddenly turned to Xie Yunqian and said, "Brother, I want to have a few words with my grandfather alone, is that okay?"

Xie Yunqian went out.

Xie Jiuxiao smiled, but this smile looked uglier than crying, and said: "Didn't my grandfather ask me yesterday if I have someone I like? My grandson lied last night. My grandson has someone I like, and she is right outside the door." , her name is Lu Chengfeng, does grandfather want to see her?"
