Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 378

The night was spent silently in Xiangfu's study room. At some point, Suxue had already fallen asleep beside Qingyou's desk with all the hard work, and when she woke up from the short-lived Nanke dream, she was in the midst of the candle that was about to burn out when she spoke. He could vaguely see the white belly outside, but when he looked around, Qingyou's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Su Xue was startled, afraid that she would do something stupid, she quickly got up and looked around, fortunately, she saw Qingyou standing quietly in front of the west window.

"You didn't sleep all night?" Su Xue walked to her side, her unparalleled appearance was not exhausted, her beautiful eyes were full of extremely complex emotions.

Hearing Suxue walk in, Qingyou stretched out her hand and pushed open the window, even in the morning light of midsummer, there was a bit of cool breeze faintly.

"It's different after all," Qingyou's eyes cast far into the sky outside the window, "Look at the North Country and Jiangnan, they are different after all."

Hearing the latter words, Suxue realized what she was talking about, and her voice became a little disappointed, "It's different, there are two regimes in the first place, how could it be the same?"

"The warmth here seems to be much more than that in the north," Qingyou said, but it seemed that she was completely different from Suxue, and she gently stroked the window lattice with her fingers, "But, it's too warm, it's too late... ..."

Su Xue was slightly taken aback, not fully understanding what Qingyou meant at this moment.

"My mother..." After a while, Qingyou breathed a long sigh of relief, and said slowly: "The first emperor of the Song Dynasty used to like and love his daughter so much, Princess Tanyang, but in the end, because of this love too much, love It’s too much to accept her bondage with the enemy country, and then... after my mother insisted on following my father back to Shengjing, in order to make her return, she actually sacrificed the lives of her relatives, thinking about it, it’s very sad.”

When Su Xue listened, it suddenly dawned on her heart that the so-called warm and cold in her words could be classified as love and hate.

Qingyou went on to say: "The royal family in Beixia is so cold that the family relationship is weak, but it happens to be bound by the love of so many people..." She gave a wry smile, turned to look at Suxue, "Suxue, how can you think the empress dowager has the heart? , single-handedly plan these things that hurt relatives?"

Suxue shook her head and sighed softly, "You are full of talent and learning, but you don't know the past of Mrs. Wu Jiang in the Spring and Autumn Period? Even parents and children, there are differences between relatives and insiders, not to mention that the Empress Dowager is partial to Ye Wushang, she is even more innocent than Mrs. Wu Jiang It’s not surprising that it’s not as good as it can be.”

After listening to Qingyou, she smiled sourly, "People's hearts... how selfish can they be, how terrible can they be?"

"But at least you still have someone you can rely on." Suxue took her hand, "Qingyou, now that you know that the death of the Marshal has nothing to do with Seventh Brother, can you forgive him for keeping this matter secret?"

"I'm not a good daughter." Qingyou thought for a while, and finally said such a sentence suddenly, Suxue was slightly startled, and heard her say: "When my father was around, I never had sex with my daughter because of the old hatred. I accept the responsibility of Huan Huan, and even when all the evidence points to Ye Xu, when everything is clear that he did it, what I can do is either revenge or escape."

Speaking of this, she stopped, and for a moment, all the things that came to her mind since she married Ye Xu...

After a long time, she asked: "You said, what kind of daughter would still love her husband like that when she knew that her husband was the murderer of her father...?"

Suxue was startled, at this moment, she finally realized that the conflicts in Qingyou's heart were entangled, such a thing was not something a woman should bear.It was also at this time that the cold and arrogant Suxue suddenly thought that if they were ordinary women, they could marry into ordinary families according to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker at the young age, and they would be able to take care of their husbands and teach their children. Even living that kind of idyllic life, would it be better than the grief and helplessness now?

It was getting bright, and Suxue was about to go to see Xiao Yunlian, but happened to hear a light knock on the door. She secretly guessed that Xu was Fei Ling, and sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw that she was dressed in court clothes, standing there. there.

"How is Qingyou?" Fei Ling asked with concern.

"I didn't sleep all night last night, and now my mood has calmed down a bit, and I just lay on the couch for a while, and I don't know if I fell asleep or not." Su Xue's words revealed a burst of worry, and gave him a rough idea. Answer, after recovering, she noticed that Fei Ling's expression was a little uneasy at the moment, but she didn't look like it was because of something light and quiet, and she didn't want to be in a hurry because of political affairs, so she asked: "My lord, what's the matter?" ? Why has his expression changed a little?"

Fei Ling sighed softly, took Suxue two steps into the courtyard, and said just now: "Suxue, let me ask you, since you know Mu Cha, do you also know Qingyou's senior brother, Mu Cha's biological brother?" ?”

Ever since Ye Xu took Wei Young back, because of her longing, she kept raising the child in Liuguang Building in Yushu, the Commander's Mansion of the Sixth Army. It is convenient to take care of Weiyang, and Mu Cha can be by Weiyang's side. After almost a year of hard work, and the two houses of Rongying and Yingying are closer, Suxue naturally knows all kinds of things about Qingyou and Xiqi, so Hearing Fei Ling's question, she had a reaction in her mind and said, "Master, you mean, Prince Xiqi, Situ Muming?"

Fei Ling's reaction to her was expected, she nodded and said: "To be honest, I am also a disciple of Prince Qianmian, and Mu Ming, Qingyou and Mu Cha are all my juniors and sisters."

"It turns out that the young master is the eldest disciple of the prince of thousands of faces..." Suxue said thoughtfully after hearing this.

Fei Ling continued: "I received the news when I went down to court. Now something happened in the Xiqi Palace. I can't say it for a while, but I have to go there in person. Please hand over this letter to the gentlemen." Quiet, she will understand."

Suxue received the letter from his book, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but after all, the matter of Xiqi had nothing to do with her, so she didn't want to talk and ask too much, but she accepted Fei Ling's confession, and watched him leave went.

Qingyou was only tilted on the couch for a moment, she was already a light sleeper, and as the sun gradually came up, she was dazzled by the light, so she didn't have the mood to sleep more.

Suxue borrowed the kitchen from the Prime Minister's mansion to use it, and when she returned to the study with the porridge, she saw that Qingyou had already got up to wash, she put the things on the table, and said to Qingyou in a reproachful tone: "It's only been a while since I've rested, why did I get up again?"

With a wry smile, she walked up to Suxue, "My mind is chaotic, and I can't sleep well."

Suxue looked at her with a helpless expression, suddenly remembered the matter of Fei Ling, and said: "By the way, the young master came over earlier," Suxue roughly said what Fei Ling said to Qingyou , and handed the letter to her, "Your Master asked me to give you this letter before leaving."

Qingyou took the letter, heard that something happened to Xiqi, her heart skipped a beat, she was afraid that something serious had happened, she opened the letter to read it, and her expression became a little worried.

"Seeing you like this, I'm not too worried." Su Xue said with a little bit of reassurance.

Qingyou was stunned for a moment, puzzled by her words for a moment, then asked: "How to say?"

Su Xuefu turned around and filled two bowls of porridge, and said in a leisurely manner: "If there was any earth-shattering event, how could you have such an expression? Maybe it's how anxious you are now, it's not just worry."

Qingyou looked at the porridge she pushed in front of her, smiled wryly, and said, "Don't even think about it, I have gone through things like yesterday, how many big things are there now, and what I can't bear?"

After Su Xue heard it, although she had something to say, she was afraid that it would make her feel worse, so she didn't say anything more.

Sighing lightly, he put aside the letter that Fei Ling had written in a hurry, and thoughtfully said: "My brother said that Emperor Jiankang was seriously ill, and the Western Qi dynasty was in motion, and the situation was changing between thunder and thunder. Well, the battle between the eldest prince Situ Mufa and the crown prince Situ Muming was just a moment, he asked the court for sick leave to help the crown prince."

When Su Xue heard this, she was also slightly startled, obviously Qingyou's attitude was out of proportion to the seriousness of the matter, "How come the battle for the throne has become such a trivial matter with you?"

Qingyou snorted softly as if mocking herself, raised her eyes to the letter, and said: "Brother said in the letter, I also know in my heart that the two kings of Xiqi will seize the throne sooner or later, and the two sides are already ready to go. , the confrontation is only sooner or later, but it can be regarded as preparation, but..." Qingyou said, her expression added another layer of sadness, "It's just hard for Qi'er and Yun'er, parents are not around, so they can only follow my aunt .”

After hearing her words, Suxue knew in her heart that she didn't intend to return to Shengjing at the moment, but thinking about these two children, this was the only way to be at ease, so she smiled lightly, "Don't you still have me to help you?"

Qing You shook her head and smiled, "Forget it, I know what you're thinking, but I don't want to make His Highness the King of England hate me even more in the future because of taking over his virtuous wife, it's not worth it."

"Since I came here that day, he knew that it was not a matter of a day or two. Besides, I also watched Yun Lian's birth, and I still regard him as his daughter today. How could he be willing to leave her just like that?" Su Xue said, Qing You heard this, it is also reasonable, especially since I have been separated from Su Xue for many years, I also don't want my sisters to be separated after just seeing each other, so they don't say anything anymore.

"Qingyou..." Seeing that she agreed to stay for a while, Suxue thought of what she had said before, and asked more cautiously: "You said just now, I am afraid that Ye Feng will hate you more in the future, this sentence 'in the future' , I don’t know but is it true?”

Although the question in this sentence is only two simple words, it is actually a future of Qingyou and Yexu.
