There were two peace talismans Zhou Gongyu gave her, one was finally returned to him, and the other was left to herself.

These two peace talismans are also a pair, so Zhou Gongyu complained only if she lost them.

Huaishan Temple is very famous, and having similar peace talismans is nothing, but her and Zhou Gongyu are the same pair, and these two were also what Zhou Gongyu asked for to come to the master, so she would not admit her mistake.

Xiaoman didn't expect to find under Ningyu's pillow, and his breathing was lighter for a moment, for fear of waking Ningyu up.

It was clearly that she found the thing she lost, but at this time, she felt embarrassed inexplicably and would rather not know anything.

After carefully pushing the amulet back, Xiaoman stood up and put on his clothes. When he left Ningyu's bedroom, Zhou Gongyu, who had been waiting for a long time, was standing in the yard.

Zhou Gongyu frowned and stretched out the moment he saw Xiaoman. He walked quickly towards her, and held her in his arms without saying a word, taking a deep breath like infatuation.

Xiaoman was hugged and could feel the morning chill in his arms. It seemed that he had been standing for a long time and his clothes were cold.

"Why aren't you waiting for me in the East Palace?"

Zhou Gongyu slowly calmed down and pressed against her neck.

"I can't sleep well if you are not here. I thought I came last night and I wish I could carry you back to my couch."

When Xiaoman heard him talking here, he couldn't help but think of the peace talisman he saw under Ningyu's pillow. He pulled Zhou Gongyu's sleeve and whispered: "Let's go back quickly."

Zhou Gongyu was so rare that she heard that she was anxious to return to the East Palace, her expression changed slightly, and she still smiled gently.

"Okay, let's go back."

On the way, Xiaoman took the initiative to mention the matter of Ping'an Fu, saying that he would go to Huaishan Temple to ask for someone for him when he had time. Zhou Gongyu did not ask the reason and agreed directly.

Concubine Hui was very cold when she was buried. The emperor was bedridden because of excessive grief, but she still stood up tremblingly on the day and asked the palace servants to help him walk to the coffin. He was healthy and his hair turned gray in a few days, and he looked like he was over ten years old.

The majestic king of a country lay on the coffin and cried loudly, and everyone who heard it sighed and cried.

Although there was no clear statement, there were gradually rumors in the palace that the assassin was Zhou Gongyu's man.

These rumors of storm have had some impact. No matter how outrageous it sounds, some people will believe it.

The emperor probably was really ill and confused. Concubine Hui's death made him feel in a daze all day long. Not only did he hate the queen, but he also didn't like Zhou Gongyu.

Concubine Shu is the mother of the fourth prince. She now serves the emperor all day long, and she imitates Concubine Hui in dressing.

The prince is still young, and even if he is smart and talented, he cannot easily shake the foundations of the powerful family of a hundred years of cultivation.

The support behind him is the Xu family, and the Xu family can control him is also the Xu family. If they don’t want to be at any mercy, they can only get rid of the ambitious Xu family.

That was Zhou Gongyu's support and his blood relative. This move was like a hero cutting off his arm, and he was destined to put himself in a dangerous situation.

The death of Concubine Hui did not change anything. The emperor should have the greatest influence. He was quite confused and even began to think about abdicating, wanting to hand over the throne to Zhou Gongyu. He went to Huaishan Temple to pray for the deceased Concubine Hui, so that the two would become husband and wife again in the next life.

As the end of the year approaches, the seemingly peaceful court is actually undercurrent.

Since Cheng Tinglan and Jiang Yuefu passed away one after another, Jiang Hengzhi's health has become worse and worse.

He once had other intentions for Xiaoman. It was not until his wife and children were separated, white-haired people sent black-haired people, and his power, fame and fortune were gone that he seemed to have finally seen these things.

It was precisely because of this that he did not ask him to go to the palace to pass on a message to Xiaoman and asked her to go back to Jiang Mansion.

Xiaoman wanted to go to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and Quan regarded it as a way, so he did not refuse.

On the way, Zhou Chaoyu sent several secret guards to accompany her in case someone attacked her.

The Jiang Mansion is no different from the original one, but there are fewer servants serving in the mansion, and the mansion is so deserted that it makes people feel panicked.

Just as Jiang Hengzhi had nothing to ask for her, she had no one to ask for her father, but she was just disappointed.

Jiang Chi was wearing a black robe and stood in a dark robe. His body was thin and his eyes were cold, as if he was wiping a wandering soul. At first glance, he would even scare people.

Xiaoman met his eyes and immediately moved away, walked into the house to visit Jiang Hengzhi.

She thought Jiang Hengzhi really wanted to see her, but she didn't expect that he was really ill and confused. Like the emperor, he started talking nonsense during the day.

As soon as she approached, she heard him calling Jiang Yuefu's name.

"Yuefu...Yuefu is here?"

Xiaoman was silent for a moment and replied, "It's me, Xiaoman."

Jiang Hengzhi's expression was stunned, showing a sudden look. After a moment, he lowered his eyes, as if he was still a little lonely, and sighed.

"Xiaoman...I forgot, I'm confused, I'm sorry for you."

"I'm sorry for me?"

Xiaoman's tone did not fluctuate, nor could she say she was disappointed. She had learned to stop expecting a long time ago.

Jiang Hengzhi opened his turbid eyes and stared at the tent idly, as if looking back at his past.

"I always dreamed of something a long time ago a few days ago. I also dreamed of your mother. She stood in the flowers and said something. Before I could hear her clearly, I ran away and ran very fast. There was a pool in front of me. I wanted to catch up with her, but no matter how I called her, I didn't stop, and ran all the time and ran into the pool."

He closed his eyes.

"I almost forgot what she looks like when she smiles. Xiaoman, you smile, you smile exactly like her..."

Xiaoman looked at Jiang Hengzhi with a expressionless face, his voice cold and hard.

"If you forget, forget it, why bother me to remember it deliberately."

Jiang Hengzhi didn't mind her indifference. He was looking for someone to talk to him, and began to say to himself: "And there is Tinglan, Yuefu's mother, how could I let her down... I love her clearly, I clearly want to grow old with her.

Tinglan is gentle and kind, and has never harmed anyone, but ends up like this. No one around me will end up having a good end. Why…”

Xiaoman remembered that when Cheng Tinglan was accidentally killed by Jiang Yuefu, Jiang Hengzhi was still holding Lin Wan in his arms. He suddenly felt sarcastic and asked back: "Yes, why?"

Xiaoman lowered his body slightly and whispered: "Mrs. Cheng must really love her father. She looked at you for the last time before her death, but you were looking at Lin Wan.

I thought Mrs. Cheng was the father’s love in this life, but in the dangerous situation, Lin Wan was comforted by you, not your cherished wife.”

It's ridiculous to think that Lin Wan approached him on purpose, and the child was not his biological child. She even designed to make Jiang Yuefu cry with flowers.

Lin Wan seemed to be a taboo. When she mentioned her, Jiang Hengzhi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her breathing suddenly accelerated. Her hands pulling Xiaman were trembling with force, as if she was extremely angry, but she was extremely powerless.

Xiaoman said lightly: "Do you blame me?

But I did nothing, and I didn't even think about taking revenge on anyone, just wanting to live well.

I have never cared about my father's cold eyes, Jiang Chi's bullying, and countless scars on his body.

I didn’t ask Jiang Yuefu to use Baihua Cry, and I didn’t ask my father to marry Lin Wan. Even if Jiang Yuefu wanted to kill me to vent her anger, it was just that I didn’t use my own blood to save her.

You see, in fact, after all, it’s all about one’s own consequences.”

Thinking of the "Yuefu" that Jiang Hengzhi shouted when he entered the door, she felt it was ridiculous again, so she stood up.

"I haven't called 'father' for a long time, but I'm actually a little uncomfortable with it."

She turned around and wanted to leave. Jiang Hengzhi coughed suddenly. Jiang Chi outside the door had stood for no reason, and immediately rushed in and supported him.

Jiang Hengzhi didn't look at Jiang Chi, took a few breaths and said, "Do you hate me?"

Xiaoman seemed to have seen through it, looking at Jiang Hengzhi's breathing coldly.

"It's my father who hates me."

Jiang Hengzhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter. His old and hoarse smile was more like a dead tree roaring by the strong wind.

"I should have understood it long ago."

Xiaoman has always been like this. She seems gentle and well-behaved, but she is stronger, cold and harder than anyone else. She actually knows everything.

Jiang Heng knew that he hated himself, but he also hated Xiaoman.

Hate her existence changed Zhou Gongyu's heart, hating her refusal to save her own sister, and also making Jiang Chi have an inappropriate idea.

The people who really destroyed the Jiang family were not her, but they were all related to her.

When leaving Jiang's mansion, Jiang Chi sent her a short distance away. The two of them said nothing. They just said suddenly: "I have made an agreement with He's legitimate daughter and I will get married next spring."

Xiaoman tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember who the He family's legitimate daughter was. He said perfunctorily: "The He family's legitimate daughter, that's not bad, um..."

Jiang Chi glanced at her, as if she knew that she had never remembered who the He family's legitimate daughter was, and did not explain much.

"My father asked me to remind you that you are careful in the palace recently and it is better to leave the palace less. The Xu family is staring at the East Palace."

"knew."

For the Xu family, the uncontrollable prince is useless even if he has the bloodline of the Xu family, so it is inevitable to focus on other supportive princes.

If Concubine Shu wants to take risks and help her son, she will definitely join forces with the Xu family.

Xiaoman left the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and only learned about Zhou Qiaoyu's poisoning when he returned to the Eastern Palace.

The queen is surrounded by the Xu family, so it is difficult to avoid the East Palace.

The Xu family hated him for poisoning him. If he wanted to deal with Zhou Gongyu, he had to remove Zhou Dingheng together in order to support the fourth prince to take office.

Concubine Hui died at the hands of the Xu family. No matter how you look at Zhou Dingheng, you will not deal with Zhou Gongyu with them.

What's more, with the lessons of Zhou Gongyu like this, no matter who you want to support, you must find a weak and mediocre prince.

The news that the prince was seriously ill had been covered up, but it was still spread. He did not attend court for a few days. The court officials speculated whether he was really as ill as the rumor said, and he had no time to take care of the government affairs.

The Xu family's forces also began to mess up the situation at this moment, and stood up and said that they would like to establish the crown prince, and the first choice was King Pingnan.

This move will definitely make Zhou Gongyu suspicious of Zhou Dingheng, and finally find a reason to eliminate him for justice so as to blame Zhou Gongyu.

Xiaoman was lying in Zhou Gongyu's arms. When he listened to his speech book, the outside world was talking about his body, as if he was seriously ill and coughing up blood in the wind.

However, this person was still very energetic on the couch yesterday, which made her sweat in the winter.

Zhou Gongyu finished reading another page, closed the book, kissed the back of her neck, and whispered: "There has been no peace in the capital recently. Dingheng wants to send Ruoruo away, so you can go too.

When the matter is resolved, I will take you to see the plum blossoms in Huaishan Temple, and let's go to ask for peace together."

"How long will it take?"
