After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 385: You and I are getting married, why are you guarding me?
"Borrowing something?" Marquis Changping was puzzled. "The Marquis's residence was raided. I wonder what ordinary people have that are worthy of Your Highness's trip?"

The candlelight was quiet, and the moisture of the autumn night slowly seeped into the hall along the gaps between the walls and floor tiles, bringing with it a biting chill.

Zhou Xianji looked at him quietly, with a gentle smile on his thin lips.

He was dressed in white and looked taller than the snow, but his appearance made Changping Hou and Sun Huangchan shiver inexplicably.

The fan in the hall creaked in the night wind.

A strong wind blew up, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves were half-lit. Blood flowed from the cracks in the threshold, winding down the steps and completely mixed with the rain.

It was already midnight when Zhou Xianji returned to Jibeigong from the Changping Marquis Mansion.

The rain stopped, and a bright and clear autumn moon hung high in the sky.

He appeared in front of Wei Zi's bed.

She didn't sleep peacefully, huddled tightly near the back of Babu's bed. She might have dreamed of some terrible things. Dai Qing's brows furrowed slightly, as if she had accumulated unsolvable sorrow.

He leaned forward, placed one hand on the bed, and stroked the girl's brow with the other.

"Xiao Zi..."

He whispered the name.

The light and shadow in the tent were dim, and the man's side face was as clear as frost and snow, but there was deep concern in his eyes.

time is limited……

Zhou Xianji stared at her sleeping face.

Over the past few months, he has been reminding himself of this all the time, making plans all the time. He must spend the last time clearing all dangers and obstacles for the girl he has liked since childhood.

The warmth in his big palm gradually soothed the sadness between Wei Zi's eyebrows, and he carefully tucked her into bed.

After doing all this, he put down the curtain and left.

When the autumn chrysanthemums sent to the North Palace were full of buds, it was the day when Yu Hehuan married into the Murong family.

Wei Zi also wants to go to watch the ceremony.

The Duke's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and decorations. Wei Zi looked at the girl sitting in front of the makeup mirror and couldn't help but said: "Cousin Hehuan..."

Yu Hehuan wore a bright red wedding dress and pursed her lips in front of the bronze mirror.

She said indifferently: "Marrying is a happy event, why does my cousin make such an expression?"

"But, the Murong family——"

"The Murong family is a dragon's den and a tiger's den. I want to break into it." Yu Hehuan said loudly, "Murong Tao was involved in the case of Xuanke Temple twenty years ago. There must still be some evidence from that year in his house. Now, someone must stand behind him. Come out and find these evidences. How many families have been implicated in the Xuanke Temple murder case, even the Northwest Yu family, who has been guarding the border for twenty years and cannot return to the capital because of this major case. Cousin, since my father believes that King Dingbei is innocent , then I have to believe it too. I will inherit my father’s legacy and redress the injustice of King Dingbei.”

Speaking of this, Wei Zi couldn't persuade him any more.

"What are you whispering about?"

A middle-aged voice came.

It's Zhou Jing.

She was directing several palace maids to move in a heavy box and cage.

Wei Zi asked curiously: "Jing'er, what is this?"

"Let's add makeup to cousin Acacia!" Zhou Jing opened the lid of the box, "I put a few weapons on the first floor, such as meteor hammer, mace, full moon scimitar, black iron hook, snake scale soft Sword. The second layer is poison, including arsenic, crane-crown red, heartbroken grass, etc. The third layer is an artillery piece that I specially asked the weapons master in my grandfather’s military camp to make. Although the range is not long, it is enough to blast. Damn that old fox Murong Tao! Cousin Hehuan, don’t be polite to me, these things must be hidden in the new house for self-defense!”

Wei Huanjin happened to step through the door.

Hearing these words, he frowned immediately.

He said: "Although Murong's house is not a good place to go, cousin Hehuan has the support of our town government. Murong Tao and Murong Jinglue should not dare to do anything to her, right? Bring these things over, you know that we are getting married People who don’t know better think they are going to fight!”

"What do you know?" Zhou Jing said in disgust, "Girls should prepare more self-defense things. When I marry you in the future, I will also bring a box with me for self-defense."

"You -" Wei Huanjin was very angry, "You and I are getting married, what are you doing to prevent me?! Could it be that I will eat you again?!"

"That's not necessarily the case." The two of them were like enemies and would quarrel whenever they met.

Wei Zi was not surprised, took the hippa from the maid's hand, and gently covered the jade acacia's phoenix crown.

She warned: "Since you are determined to do this, I will not advise you otherwise. However, if you encounter danger in the Murong family, you can ask Murong Jiuli for help. Although she is the eldest granddaughter of the Murong family, she is not related to the Murong family. Till death, she will help you.”

After she finished speaking, there was another murmur in her heart.

She knew Murong Jiuli's methods, and Yuhehuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If these two people get together...

Suddenly she wasn't so worried about Yu Hehuan.

The auspicious time is coming.

When bidding farewell to Mrs. Wei, the old man felt sad for a long time and held Yu Hehuan's hand and said many words.

Wei Zi saw that the old man seemed to have a few more white hairs.

The Yu family in the northwest has been guarding the border for many years and is quite famous among the people.

Therefore, when Yu Hehuan got married, people in the capital crowded around to watch and sent many blessings.

Wei Zi accompanied the escort team to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although Murong Tao was not satisfied with the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law who fell from the sky, he did a good job on the surface. The house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the guests at the banquet were all well-known figures in the capital. .

While watching the ceremony in the main hall, Wei Zi secretly took a few glances at Murong Jinglue.

Unlike Murong Tao's sinister majesty, Murong Jinglue looked like a green pine on the edge of a cliff, looking particularly dignified and cold.

Murong Jiuli suddenly appeared: "Are you peeking at my eldest brother?"

Wei Zi was caught, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his face: "I wonder what kind of person Mr. Murong is?"

Murong Jiuli wrinkled his nose: "I don't have much dealings with him. To be precise, he doesn't have much dealings with everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he doesn't seem to be willing to inherit the mantle of that old guy Murong Tao. Anyway, he is A weird thing."

She looked down upon everyone in the prime minister's house equally.

Wei Zi didn't expect to hear any useful information from her, so she didn't bother to ask again.

By the time the guests had dispersed, it was already the moonlight above the willow branches.

When Murong Jinglue stepped into the new house, Yu Hehuan was eating the food brought by the maid.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

In the end, Yu Hehuan was the first to break the silence: "The food in your prime minister's house is quite good."

Murong Jinglue sat on the bed and said calmly: "The wedding between you and me is the result of the emperor weighing the pros and cons. I know you have no intention of me. If you are willing, from now on you and I will be a fake couple. How about that?"

Yu Hehuan looked at him curiously.

She thought that the men in the prime minister's house were not good people, but she didn't expect that this man was quite reasonable.

It seems that it is not difficult for her to survive in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"This is of course the best." She took a bite of the beef bone and said vaguely curiously, "Does Mr. Murong also have a sweetheart? Is your sweetheart sad when you get married to me? So I said today The most taboo thing here is to mess with the couple's rules, which may lead to wealth and death. You matchmakers in the capital are not good at it. When I was a matchmaker, the couples I matched were always in love, and there was no quarrel or blushing! "

Murong Jing slightly opened a book.

The corner of his eye glanced at the sauce on the corner of Jade Acacia's lips, and he frowned lightly.

I heard early in the morning that this beautiful girl grew up in a market place and did not follow the rules. I didn't expect that even her appearance would be so uncivilized.

He looked away and said coldly: "I have never had a sweetheart."

Yu Hehuan lowered his head to drink the porridge: "You are already in your twenties, but you have never had a sweetheart. Could it be that you have a hidden disease? Or do you have some other hobbies?"

Murong Jinglue: "..."

He turned a page of the book and stopped paying attention to Yu Hehuan completely.
