Although he felt a little embarrassed, Yin Qingxuan never had anything nice to say to him, and Xue Ya was already used to the other party's cynicism. In response, he turned away, took his chin away from the other party's hand, and sat in the previous position, far away from Yin

The blue sky hangs far away.

Not only was he far away, he also turned his back to Yin Qingxuan.

The words were not speculative. Xue Ya still knew this sentence, but Yin Qingxuan was strange the whole day. He turned around to pour tea, and Yin Qingxuan looked at him with a not so good look on his face.

While he was eating, he accidentally looked up and found that Yin Qingxuan was still looking at him, with the same dead face, which made him feel unlucky.

Xue Ya couldn't directly ask Yin Qingxuan why he always looked at him, otherwise Yin Qingxuan would ridicule him again and say he was narcissistic, so he raised a hand to half cover his face while eating, but this time

Son, which actually caused Yin Qingxuan to speak out.

"What are you doing?"

Xue Ya continued to cover her face while eating, "I didn't do anything."

"Why are you covering your face?" Yin Qingxuan asked again.

"I like it." Xue Ya bit a piece of meat hard.

From Yin Qingxuan's angle, he could see Xueya's lips that were constantly moving due to eating. The lips were not stained but red, and the lip shape was also small. Xueya's face was small, and her facial features, except for her eyes, were all small and delicate, whether it was lips,

Still snow-white ears.

Yin Qingxuan put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, picked up the tea next to him and took a big sip, then suddenly said: "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

Hearing the words "Little New Year's Eve", Xue Ya was stunned for a moment.

Time flies so fast, and it's his birthday again. After this birthday, he will be twenty years old. But can he still live until New Year's Eve? He will go to Beijing tomorrow, and Cui Lingjing will definitely not let him go.

of.

Thinking of this, Xue Ya pinched meat more frequently.

Yin Qingxuan noticed Xue Ya's movements and seemed to feel strange, "Are you still in the mood to eat?"

"Whether you eat or not, you will not let me go and will take me back to Shangjing. Since I am going to die, I will naturally eat more before I die so that I will not be so hungry on the road to hell." Xue Ya picked up a big handful.

He stuffed meat into his mouth and puffed his face into hamster cheeks.

Although he wanted to show that he didn't care much to Yin Qingxuan, the circles under his eyes couldn't help but turn red. After eating, tears fell from his eyes and he couldn't eat anymore.

The day passed by in a hurry, and we soon arrived in Shangjing.

Three years ago, Xue Ya was also sitting in a carriage and was escorted to Beijing. At that time, he secretly opened the car curtain and looked out. Today, he openly opened the car window and looked out. His mood was similar but different.

At that time, he was afraid of the unfamiliar Shangjing, and there was also a faint excitement hidden in his heart. Now he is also afraid, but there is no excitement. Instead, he is nostalgic.

What Xue Ya misses is not going to Beijing, but his life. He wants to live. He has not yet fulfilled the vow he made in front of A Niang's grave. He also wants to see He Xulan again.

No, it's not a meeting, he wants to spend the rest of his life with He Xulan.

It's just really too difficult.

Xue Ya suddenly remembered the oiran from Hongyue Tower. The oiran said something to him when he happily packed up his belongings and prepared to leave with the late emperor.

"Xiao Xueya, what do you value most?"

At that time, Xue Ya didn't even hesitate, "Gold, mother said gold is the best thing in the world."

The oiran shook his head and smiled, "No, the best thing is your heart. You have to guard your heart after you go out, so that you won't feel uncomfortable." After he finished speaking, he put away his smile, "I'm telling you.

How can you understand this now? When you grow up, you will naturally understand."

Xue Ya looked up. He didn't like people calling him young at that time, "I have grown up. I understand what you said. I will not like anyone. I only love gold."

The oiran didn't refute his words, just smiled.

However, Xue Ya did not regret it, she just regretted that he spent too little time with He Xulan.

Xue Ya looked at the scenery outside and couldn't help but put her chin on the edge of the window. Today was a sunny winter day. The light passed through the tassels hanging from the roof of the carriage and fell on Xue Ya's face, adding warm color to her white face.

Even the short fluff on it can be seen clearly.

Yin Qingxuan took this scene into consideration, suddenly leaned over and closed the window.

The scenery suddenly disappeared, leaving only the noise of people outside. Xue Ya was a little dissatisfied and reached out to open the window again, but her hand was grabbed by Yin Qingxuan.

"We are about to enter the palace." Yin Qingxuan looked at Xue Ya, "You know what to say when you see His Majesty."

"I don't know, I don't know anything." Xue Ya wanted to pull his hand back, but couldn't. He couldn't lose his temper with Yin Qingxuan, so he could only sulk.

Yin Qingxuan was obviously not very satisfied with Xue Ya's answer. He still held Xue Ya's hand and looked sideways at the window, "Be honest and you may be able to save your life. You can weigh the pros and cons yourself."

Xue Ya didn't answer any more. He was just thinking about how to pull his hand back, but his hand was red and he couldn't succeed until the carriage stopped.

"Prime Minister Yin, here we are."

Yin Qingxuan just let go of Xue Ya, stood up and opened the car curtain and went out. Xue Ya's face turned pale when she heard the noise outside, especially when she was dragged out of the carriage.

Several eunuchs tied his hands with ropes, gagged his mouth, and stuffed him into a sedan.

When the sedan stopped, Xue Ya was pulled out of the carriage, and she saw a few big characters above the palace -

"Bengsui Palace".

He's back here again.

Not allowing Xue Ya to think too much, the eunuchs took him into Fengrui Palace and walked to the door of the royal study room. The eunuchs stopped and said respectfully to the closed door: "Your Majesty, we are already here.

Brought it."

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and it was the eunuch who opened the door. He looked at Xue Ya, whose face was ashen, and flicked the whisk in his hand, "Bring it in."

The eunuchs responded and quickly dragged Xue Ya in. As soon as Xue Ya entered the room, she smelled a medicinal smell. The closer she got inside, the stronger the medicinal smell became.

Several eunuchs threw Xue Ya to the ground, bowed respectfully, then retreated silently, and closed the door.

Xue Ya sat on his knees on the ground, not daring to raise his head, until he heard a voice.

"Climb over here." The voice sounded weak and weak.

Xue Ya recognized who the voice belonged to, so he was too shocked for a moment and raised his head. When he raised his head, he saw Cui Lingjing.

Cui Lingjing was sitting on a large chair, covered with a thick fox blanket. There was no color at all on her usually feminine and beautiful face. Her face was white, her lips were also white, her eyebrows and eyes were a bit colored, but

Those eyes were extremely sad, especially when he noticed the surprise in Xue Ya's eyes.

"Are you surprised? You should be very familiar with it. When you served the late emperor, wasn't he like this?" Cui Lingjing slowly sat up straight, reached out to pick up the pills on the jade plate on the table, and saw only that hand

His wrists have also become extremely thin, as if there are only bones left.

Xue Ya came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again.

Cui Lingjing stuffed the pill into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. His pale complexion finally improved a little. He glanced sideways at the snow buds on the ground and said coldly: "Bitch, crawl over here."

At the end of the year and in the cold weather, the guards guarding Kangwu County were preparing to change their posts when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves not far away. They were alerted by the sound and found that the person coming was a tall man.

Seeing someone preparing to rush into the city on horseback, they immediately took out their weapons and said, "Who dares to break into Kangwu County without permission!"

The tall man grabbed the reins, and saw that the charging horse almost turned over before it stopped. The guards were frightened, but the man's expression did not change at all. He took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and threw it to

Guard leader.

The guard leader saw the wooden sign clearly, then raised his head to carefully identify the other person's appearance. After a moment, he immediately asked someone to bring his horse over.

"I'll take you in." The guard leader got on his horse to lead the way. When they arrived in front of a mansion, the leader dismounted and wanted to say that they had arrived, when he heard a bang from the side.

He turned around and saw that the tall man from before had fallen off his horse. The guard leader hurried over and was about to help the man up, but before he could touch him, his hand was caught first.

The hand holding him was like iron, and he almost felt that his hand was going to break. The tall man who had closed his eyes just now suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes guarded and fierce, and when he saw clearly that the person he caught was the guard leader

, and slowly loosened his hand.

The guard leader immediately retracted his hand. He did not dare to help the man anymore and knocked on the door of the mansion first.

After a while, the door of the mansion opened, and the guard leader whispered a few words to the door. Then some servants came out and carried the tall man on the ground at the door into the mansion. The guard leader breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to the city for Chinese medicine.

Guan looked at his hands and found blood on the ground.
