After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

"Let's run away."

The young man's whisper was like a sweet spell. Even after Wei Zi returned to Zhenguo Palace, even after he had washed up and went to bed, he still lingered in his ears repeatedly and lingered in his mind for a long time.

The night is cold as water.

Wei Zi opened her eyes in the tent.

Under the flower wall of Xiao Mansion, after Xiao Fengxian said that, he said: "I know you have concerns. In three days, if you make up your mind to follow me, the loquat tree in the backyard of your He'an Hall will be there." Hang a red lantern on it. My people will report it to me immediately after seeing it. I will wait for you at the back door of your house. If you are not willing to elope with me...then don't hang anything. Wei Zi, I respect your All choices. If you want to escape, I will take you away. If you refuse, I will let you stay in Shangjing and stay with you from a distance across the palace wall."

Under the moonlight, his fox eyes were deep and dark but full of love, making her unable to help but fall deeply into such tenderness.

She raised her head and touched his face bit by bit with her palms. His eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips were all the way she loved them. The light and shadow moved lightly across the flower wall covered with vines, covering the two of them with an ambiguous and charming pure white. Wei Zi I can't help but think that even the moonlight tonight seems to be particularly partial to them.

And he seemed to sense her soft heart, holding her hand tightly, leaning down to kiss her lips and cheeks, not even letting go of her fingertips.

In the tent, Wei Zi closed her eyes, recalling those ridiculous and sentimental scenes, and couldn't help but feel her ears burning.

She pulled the quilt up to cover her face.

She definitely wants to stay.

but……

Deep in my heart, I still felt a sense of unwillingness.

Is she really going to give up on the person she likes just because of worldly affairs?
She was so unwilling.

When Wei Zi was tossing and turning, Xiao Mansion.

As soon as Xiao Fengxian stepped into the study, a few lights suddenly lit up in the dark study.

The man standing in front of the window turned around. He was dressed in red clothes and had white beard and hair, but his appearance was very deep and handsome, like a flower feast.

He caressed the tortoiseshell cat in his arms and looked directly at Xiao Fengxian: "The outcome of the Yu family's case has been concluded."

Xiao Fengxian lifted her robe and sat down.

The person who tried the case was Murong Tao. That old fox only acted based on the emperor's face. What good results he could get from the trial was nothing more than a perfunctory and hasty conclusion of the case.

Hua Yannong smiled slightly and continued: "If you don't speak, you must have guessed the result. Let me tell you, under the chief trial of Murong Tao, Yu Minzheng was separated from the Dingbei King's party. For the first time, Murong Tao praised him for speaking out and admonishing the emperor. He was a good minister of the generation. The emperor also regretted it. Tonight in the imperial study room, he publicly stated that he would issue an edict to punish himself. The ministers present all praised the emperor for having the courage to think about his mistakes. He was a good minister of the generation. Mingjun."

Xiao Fengxian remained silent.

It was obvious that the emperor killed Yu Minzheng by mistake out of anger, but now he just admitted his mistake lightly, which actually fulfilled his status as a wise king.

Presumably, this was the best result negotiated by the emperor and Murong Tao.

"You must have heard it," Hua Yannong's smile deepened and became more sarcastic, "these two people made a fuss about Yu Minzheng, but they never mentioned the case that really needs to be retried - the Xuanke Temple murder case. .”

Xiao Fengxian raised her eyes: "Where is the evidence presented by Jade Acacia?"

He remembered that on New Year's Eve, Yu Hehuan handed over to the emperor the handwriting of the abbot of Xuanke Temple that had been preserved for more than ten years. The handwriting clearly recorded the specific list of people who entered and exited the temple on the day of the Xuanke Temple murder case.

That is the most direct evidence for the retrial of the Xuanke Temple murder case.

Hua Yannong paused and replied: "It was said that he was accidentally burned by the palace people."

The study fell silent.Such important evidence was burned by the palace guards...

You don't need to think too much to know that there is something fishy here.

Xiao Fengxian was speechless and turned over the seals and other items in the desk drawer.

He didn't know whether Wei Zi would follow him, but in order not to be in a hurry when the time came, he had to pack up gold and silver items, seals and land deeds in advance.

King Dingbei was indeed someone he admired, and the Xuanke Temple murder case was indeed worthy of careful investigation.

He is very willing to prove that King Bei is innocent.

But he couldn't care about anything now, he just wanted to take Wei Zi away.

He wanted to find a quiet and simple village on the horizon like a paradise, and settle there with Wei Zi. From then on, they would treat each other as husband and wife. In their free time, they would go to the foot of the green mountains to herd lambs, or they could go to the markets between villages to buy some novelty gadgets. thing.

It's good to live together like that.

Hua Yannong looked at him collecting things and seemed to have thought of something. Her snow-white eyelashes covered half of her pupils, and the remaining half was dark and cold, like the dark moon.

He said casually: "Today is your birthday."

Without raising her head, Xiao Fengxian dug out a bunch of seals from the depths of the drawer and said, "If you don't thank the Factory Supervisor for congratulating me, I will be Amitabha if you don't show up."

"You are already young, but in the past 20 years, your parents have never celebrated your birthday once." Hua Yannong caressed the cat in her arms, "Although you are a bastard, you are still his son. He is like this I treat you like this, aren’t you curious why?”

"You talk a lot tonight."

Xiao Fengxian's tone was very calm.

Hua Yannong approached him step by step: "Although your surname is Xiao, your appearance and stature are not similar to Xiao Long. You have been very smart since you were a child, but that person is a real fool. How could he give birth to you? Such a son, haven't you ever doubted me in the past 20 years? There are so many wronged and bullied children in the world, but I chose you, haven't you carefully considered the reason? Yu Hehuan, Rong Jiarong These people related to the Xuanke Temple murder case have appeared next to you one after another, haven't you ever been suspicious of them?"

Xiao Fengxian threw a seal impatiently.

The fox's eyes were full of evil, and he said solemnly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Hua Yannong was very satisfied with his current expression.

He smiled and said: "Is there a possibility that you are not a descendant of the Xiao family at all? Your biological father was 20 years ago -"

"enough."

Xiao Fengxian interrupted him coldly.

Hua Yannong only paused for a moment, then continued with a smile: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid of being implicated by your father, or are you afraid that after knowing your life experience, you will have to bear the blood feud forever, stay in Shangjing forever, and never be able to be with your sweetheart? Baby elope?”

The night wind rattled the window lattice, and several candlelights jumped and went out one after another. The huge study was half filled with light and half filled with shadow.

Xiao Fengxian sat behind the desk, her whole face shrouded in darkness.

Hua Yannong stood in front of the desk and looked at him condescendingly: "But if we don't elope, she will marry Zhou Xianji, and you will never be able to be together legitimately. How should we choose? How pitiful."

Xiao Fengxian suddenly rose up and punched Hua Yannong!

The cat in Hua Yannong's arms let out a sharp howl and immediately ran away!
