Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 55 Bicolor Fragments
It's almost early winter, but the sky in the capital is still as clear as water.

Because Huo Qi was always afraid of the cold, a charcoal fire was lit early in Qiju's house. The high-quality silver thread charcoal squeaked, making the whole house as warm as spring.Huo Qi leaned on the soft gold silk couch, holding a volume of "Official History of the Southern Kingdom" in his hand, and slowly flipping through it.

In fact, she has always been a person who longs for freedom. She was married in her previous life, and she no longer has a carefree life.Even if she is still in her boudoir in this life, she is bound by her daughter's body, and it is difficult for her body to go to the South and the North, so she can only pick up some books on weekdays to peek at people and things far away, which is quite a pleasure.

He didn't know if he felt the room was stuffy, or his eyes were sore, Huo Qi opened the window and looked into the distance, a gust of cold wind slipped in along the window lattice, and the air felt a bit cold and fresh.

At this time, Lefeng lifted the curtain with a vase in his arms, and there were uneven orchids in the vase.She shook the dust off her body, inadvertently looked at the person on the bed, and was stunned for a moment.

I saw Huo Qi wearing a blue robe and a white jade hairpin with suet in her hair. This could be called a simple dress, but it couldn't hide the beauty between her eyebrows and eyes at all.

Ting Yu followed Lefeng into the door, saw her standing stupidly, pushed her arm: "Why are you standing stupidly holding a vase?"

Lefeng shook his head, and then he came to his senses.

She put the vase on the pear table next to her, turned her head to look at Huo Qi and said, "Girl, this servant just went to the second room to inquire, and the coffin of the second young master has already been buried."

Huo Qi didn't even lift his eyelids, just flipped through the scroll in his hand, and lazily said after a long while: "I see, although it is said that the corpse is not easy to perish in winter, it is also a good thing to bury it in the ground earlier, otherwise it will be destroyed." Maybe something else could happen.”

Lefeng was tending flowers and plants beside her, and she was deeply impressed by Huo Qi's words.Yesterday, people from the whole family came to Ningguo Mansion to mourn the second young master, but people from Jingzhao Mansion suddenly came, saying that someone had put Huo Chi's evidence of hiring a quack killer on the table in Master Yao's study at night.Now that the second room is holding a funeral, the eldest room is too lazy to participate.

Ting Yu's movements of pouring tea are smooth and graceful at this moment, and her words are also deft:

"Isn't it! The day before yesterday, in front of those officials in Jingzhao Mansion, the second wife had another scene in the mourning hall. Now that the second young master bought a murderer, it became a certainty, and the second wife didn't give any evidence. , instead she kept saying that death is the big thing, and even beat her up, saying that our eldest wife didn't let her have a better life, it's really unreasonable!"

After hearing these words, Huo Qi just shook his head in amusement.

No matter how the Qi family makes trouble, justice is at ease.

Although Huo Chiren died, he still left his posthumous name to be judged by others.The originally talented second young master of the Huo family has become famous among the common people as a villain who murdered his elder brother.Qi's making such a fuss is nothing more than a clown jumping on the beam, and it can't cause any trouble.

Liangfeng took a look at Huo Qi's expression and spoke again: "Girl, I just passed by the east courtyard and heard that the second lady seemed to have had a miscarriage. She said it was because of the death of her brother and she was overly worried... This is terrible. It’s really strange that the second lady doesn’t even want to come to express condolences, but she can tire out because of excessive worry..."

The corner of Huo Qi's mouth curled up into a sneer: "Even a simple girl like you can see through this matter, so you know what a bad show this is."

When Listening to Feng talked about Huo Qinglan's miscarriage, she thought of the evidence proving that Huo Chi had hired a murderer.

She has lived two lives and knows with her toes that Yuan Shao must have found someone to present this evidence to Yao Jun's desk to clear the Yuan family's suspicion.Now, the Yuan family has killed Huo Xian. The attack was committed by Huo Chi alone, and the Yuan family's seal was stolen.

The world is used to love and pity the weak.Now, Huo Qinglan has a miscarriage. As long as the couple close the door of the house and avoid the limelight at home, in the eyes of those who don't know, Huo Qinglan values ​​love and righteousness, and even hurts her body due to worry. The husband and wife are one, so what? Maybe the Yuan family instigated Huo Chi to kill?

But her younger sister is also asking for trouble, and the poor child in her stomach has become a bargaining chip for the Yuan family to clear the charges.

While talking, Lefeng had already trimmed the orchids in the vase.She smiled and put it on the table between Huo Qi's couch: "The servants put vases of flowers here, which also saves the girl from being boring in studying. Now, the second young lady is married, and the second young master is dead, so the girl can live a happy life." A few quiet days."

Huo Qi propped himself up slightly, leaned over to sniff the orchid, with a meaningful smile on his face: "I'm afraid not necessarily."

The three masters and servants were chatting nonchalantly.

But for a moment, I heard someone outside smiling heartily: "Sister!"

Before the words were finished, Huo Xian had arrived at Huo Qi's room.

Huo Qi didn't seem to expect Huo Xian to come, so he got up and sat down to look at the door: "Brother, why are you here today?"

Huo Xian took a few steps forward, sat directly on the other side of the soft couch, and turned out the wooden box hidden behind his back like a treasure: "These are all good things I found outside the Great Wall in the past few years, and I learned from Your Majesty a few days ago I picked some good ones from the rewards, you can see if you still like them."

It was a red sandalwood box with peonies engraved on it.If you smell it carefully, you can still smell a faint woody fragrance, and you can tell at a glance that this wooden box is also carefully selected.

Huo Qi guessed that Huo Xian picked out some jewelry for her again.Although she has lost interest in these things now, since it was given by Huo Xian, she naturally opened the wooden box immediately to save face.Looking inside, there were indeed several pearl hairpins and bracelets, but what she didn't expect was that there was a compass inside.

Seeing Huo Qi staring at the compass, Huo Xian scratched his head and asked, "Does my sister dislike this compass? Even though it looks ugly,..."

Before Huo Xian could finish speaking, Huo Qi interrupted with a smile: "I like this compass the most, it looks like a psychic treasure."

Huo Xian didn't seem to expect Huo Qi to say such words, and the smile on his face deepened: "As long as you like it."

Huo Qi smiled, closed the box and placed it gently on the table, pushing the tea that Tingyu had just poured in front of Huo Xian.This was the first time she and Huo Xian were alone together after Huo Xian returned home. In the past few days, she had not been able to say anything personal because of the presence of Huo Ruhai and his wife, but today she had a rare opportunity to do so.

"Brother, now that Huo Chi paid for the murder has been proven by both witnesses and materials, what do you think now?"

Huo Xian was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face dropped:

"Yesterday, my father and I were talking about this matter, and I found out that Huo Chi had planned for you to fall off your horse in the paddock on the outskirts of Beijing. At that time, my father thought it was just a play between children and did not investigate further, which led to today's catastrophe. Now Huo Chi Chi is dead, and this relative can't do it anymore. My father's idea is to buy a new house for the second house, and let them move out in a few days. From now on, they can live their own lives and no longer interact with each other, which can be regarded as the most benevolent thing."

Huo Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Huo Ruhai to make a decision so quickly this time.But after thinking about it, it also resembles Huo Ruhai's temperament when he was young.Huo Ruhai usually does not show his mountains and dews, but once he wants to do something, he will do it absolutely.

Although Huo Ruhai and Huo Rushan have a good relationship, they are not brothers of the same father and mother.Now that a pair of sons and daughters have been murdered, and the scene in the mourning hall was so ugly the day before yesterday, if nothing is done, it will be in vain for Huo Ruhai to be an official in the court for decades.

She also remembered that she planned to hide Huo Xian's assassination from the beginning and deal with the second room secretly.Now that Shen Yuning has intervened, and instead pushed the situation to a better direction, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"It's so good." The corners of Huo Qi's lips twitched slightly.

Huo Xian was surprised by Huo Qi's attitude towards the second room. Before he left home, although Huo Qi was not very warm to the second room, he was not completely devoid of affection, but now he seemed to be completely cold-hearted.

After thinking about it, I understood the change of Huo Qi's attitude now.

Before he left home, he also knew that the Yuan and Huo families might get married, and everyone tacitly agreed that the candidate was Huo Qi.Now Huo Qinglan has become the imperial concubine inexplicably, and her sister has never mentioned the name Yuan Shao again. There must be some discord.Now Huo Chi is scheming again and again. No matter how good-tempered a person is, there is no reason to be patient.

Thoughts were up and down, as if he felt something scorching his legs, Huo Xian lifted the fluffy blanket outside the rug, looked down carefully, and found that a hole was dug under the rug, and he used good peat. The earth was built around the cave, and a charcoal brazier was hidden inside. No wonder the cave was so warm.

He smiled understandingly: "Your method is quite clever. No wonder your place is the most comfortable place in the whole house."

However, when he was about to take his eyes away from the brazier, he saw a small piece of green clothing that had not been burned under the piles of silver charcoal.

Why did Huo Qi burn clothes in the house?
Why does this piece of clothing look familiar?

His eyes lingered on the brazier for a moment, until Huo Qi noticed something was wrong, she stretched her legs and kicked the blanket off calmly, and said inadvertently: "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Huo Xian came to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."

　Can you see what the bi-color garment is?
