There were many letters in the box, stacked in stacks. She didn't know which one was the first one he wrote to her, so she simply opened them one by one and read them. Not long after, the table was filled with pages of letter paper. At some point, Xiao Ming's eyes became hazy, and crystal tears fell silently.
Each letter was like an opened Pandora's box. The affection hidden in the thin pages was like a trickle of silk, leaving Xiao Ming at a loss as to what to do.
I try my best to forget you, but you always remember me.
Shi Tingyu, Shi Tingyu, if we hadn't met in Beijing, you would never have sent me so many letters.
In this letter, how many are reports of good news rather than sorrow and war, how many life and death stories she cannot see, how many loyal souls of blood are hidden under the majestic blue sky...
After a while, Xiao Ming stopped crying, spread out the rice paper, and raised her pen to write a reply. She wrote slowly and lightly, solemnly outlining the first stroke and every word.
Each stroke is about love.
If you don't leave me, you won't abandon me. Your thoughts are engraved in my heart. I am not a cold and heartless person.
Time flies, it’s summer in a blink of an eye, the weather is getting hotter, and a big happy event has finally arrived in the capital. The current emperor visited Liu Mansion three times to visit Liu Ce, the chief minister of the dynasty who was ill. Various rewards came in an endless stream, and he expressed his gratitude to Liu Ce. Mr. Liu's condition was taken care of in every possible way.
In this way, Liu Ce was so grateful that he finally recovered after being ill for half a year and returned to manage the government and assist the court. This was really a gratifying and congratulatory event for everyone in the court. His Majesty Long Yan was overjoyed and made an unprecedented change. In the past, he was frugal and gave banquets to the Changchun Palace and feasted all the ministers.
This is a great honor for the Liu family, the first assistant of the first rank, and the Liu family has reached its peak under the hands of Liu Ce.
The family members of officials of the third rank and above are all eligible to participate in the palace banquet. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show their faces. On this day, all the officials of the third rank and above in the capital and the princes of aristocratic families are all dressed up and queuing up at the palace gate in luxurious carriages. Waiting to enter the palace.
In the Liu family, Liu Fu did not accompany his master to the palace to serve him. As the number one steward of the Liu family, he still had many important things to deal with every day.
Under the long corridor, Liu Fu was talking in a low voice with a man, looking at Liu Fu from a distance with an aura of pointing out the country.
"Send someone to investigate and find out who Xiao Ming is. He is as skilled in medicine as rumored. Do you know how to do it? And do it more secretly. Don't be like last time and you didn't know what happened after a few days. ?”
"Yes, yes, I understand that she was lucky enough to let her run away last time. This time, I will definitely kill her." The man nodded in response, feeling very nervous in his heart. The reason why he could have The chance to stand in front of Manager Liu and obey orders was entirely due to one person's mistake.
Manager Liu asked the man to keep an eye on Min Fangqi of the Min Mansion and the little girl Xiao Ming. As a result, the three people he sent disappeared inexplicably, and their bodies were found in a mass grave a few days later.
But Xiao Ming ran away, and Min Fangqi entered the Huguo Temple.
Naturally, there was no news about the one in front of him, so he took the lead.
The man was a little nervous, although he didn't understand why Manager Liu cared so much about the little girl Xiao Ming and asked him to find an opportunity to kill her?
Although the other party was just a young girl who had not yet left the court, the man nodded without any hesitation.
Because he knows very well that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and his previous colleague is a lesson learned from his mistakes.
They are the dead soldiers carefully trained by the Liu family, and as dead soldiers, they have always known that their lives are worthless, and they will not even have a place to bury their bones after they die.
Their only way out is to be loyal to their master.
"That's very good. Don't let her set foot in the capital again." Liu Fu nodded, with a calm look on his face, not caring at all how cruel his topic was.
As the chief steward of the Liu Mansion, everything his master does has his footprints, and the blood on his hands can even dye the moat red.
This time, the master was framed and almost accused of assassinating Prince Luo's son. He was so panicked that he didn't notice that the emperor's health had improved.
The holy dragon body has always been a matter of concern to them. They must know how important a king with a healthy dragon body is to them.
A man who was on the verge of death escaped the call of death.
After some research, he found out that the problem was with Min Fangqi, but he was a little puzzled. As far as he knew, Min Fangqi's medical skills were not enough to heal the holy dragon body. Therefore, after he paid careful attention, he I found a little girl suddenly appeared in Min Mansion.
This little girl is Xiao Ming.
He was careless. He didn't expect a little girl to have medical skills, let alone that this little girl had very good medical skills.
However, she got away with it last time, but not this time.
He won't capsize twice in the same place.
A sinister smile appeared on Liu Fu's lips, and he dismissed the man with a wave of his hand before preparing to go to the front yard of Liu Mansion. As the chief steward of Liu Mansion, there were still many important things waiting for him to deal with.
As he approached the door, he saw a woman walking in from the corner door with a basket in front of him. Liu Fu couldn't help but blush and said: "Where have you been, old woman? Didn't I tell you to go out less and stay at home?" ?”
"I'm going to Zhuangzi." The woman glanced at Liu Fu and responded coldly. Maybe others would be afraid of Manager Liu, the leader of the Liu family who was less than one person but more than ten thousand people, but she was not afraid.
Liu Fu is the first-class steward around Mr. Liu, but she is also the right-hand woman around Mrs. Liu. She is Mrs. Liu's concubine. She married into the Liu Mansion with Mrs. Liu and has always been the first-class wife beside Mrs. Liu. The eldest girl married Liu Fu, who was also in charge, after being proposed by Mrs. Liu when she was old.
To this day, she is still the right-hand woman in the old lady's courtyard, in charge of all matters in the inner courtyard. The gentlemen, young masters and girls of the house all respectfully call her Aunt Cui when they see her.
Therefore, in the Liu Mansion, Grandma Cui has a lot of confidence.
Liu Fu was so angry that he couldn't speak at this old wife who didn't understand the charm. He knew this woman's temper, so he pointed at her for a long time and persuaded her: "How many times have I told you, now is the time when the wind is tight." "Don't go to Zhuangzi. What should I do if I am being followed? He has food, drinks and people waiting on him at Zhuangzi. I am afraid of wronging him."
"I went to my own village to see what happened to my own son? What can they do to me, an old woman? Now my son is no longer useful, and you, the father, don't care about it anymore? You can use it as much as you can when it is useful, but now you can't use it I just turned away and ignored you. I was pregnant in ten months and I gave birth to you. You don’t want me and I want you.” Aunt Cui burst into tears as she spoke.
She just gave birth to a son who became deaf, dumb and confused even after leaving home, and even the mother could not recognize him.
She felt miserable! She has two sons, each of whom has been away from her for many years. Now that one of them is finally back, he doesn't recognize her as a mother.
She knew that her son was working for the master, but what happened to turn him into this state?
What is hateful is that both the master and the men in his family have an indifferent attitude towards his son.
"Please keep your voice down. What do you mean by saying that there is some and no such thing? How about we reach the ears of the master?" Aunt Cui's words were incoherent. Liu Fu was so anxious that he jumped up and down. Fortunately, all the neighbors were working in the house as errands. , there is no one outside the door, otherwise someone would really listen.
"I have nothing to say. How many times have you, the father, visited my son when he came back? Have you found the murderer?" Aunt Cui was reluctant, but her voice was softer at least.
"I have a lot of things to do. I will go and see them when I am free. You should go less often and don't ruin the master's important affairs." Liu Fuqian warned him. He was naturally heartbroken when his son became like this, but he knew that there must be a conspiracy. Therefore, after secretly bringing his son back, he just placed him in an inconspicuous village under his name, thinking that he would wait until the matter was found out and avenge his son before taking his son to his side to take care of him.
"I have killed those beggars who bullied my son. As for the real culprits, I am investigating. If I find out, I will personally avenge my son." Thinking of his son, Liu Fu gritted his teeth. His capable son had become like this. How could he He didn't hate it, he wanted to cut the person into pieces, but he was still calm and knew exactly what his son was going to do this time. In this way, he didn't dare to be careless.
However, in order to vent his anger, he tortured those beggars to death. There were so many beggars in the capital, no one would pay attention to a few who died.
"Didn't one of them escape?" Aunt Cui was dissatisfied. Thinking of her son's injury, she had no sympathy for the dead beggars.
"Well, a little beggar escaped." Liu Fu nodded and didn't care much about it. Because he didn't punch or kick his son, he didn't pursue him.
At night, news hurriedly spread from the palace, completely frightening Liu Fu.
During the palace banquet, Concubine Liu encountered an assassin on the way to Changchun Palace. Although she was not injured, she was so frightened that she is still in a coma.
At the scene of Liu Guifei's assassination, Liu Gongle's folding fan was actually found.
Suddenly, the capital was in chaos.
