Chapter 456 Let's Die Together

Mrs. Mu went to move Han Dun's body back early in the morning, bought the coffin, hired a carriage, and temporarily placed it outside the west gate of the former Han Mansion.

People pay attention to returning leaves to their roots, and now the Han Mansion is inaccessible. Accompanied by Shen Xi, Mrs. Mu placed a few sticks of incense in front of the coffin.

In the past, the thriving courtyard like a fire cooking oil was dead silent at night.

Han Ning was already on the way back to Beijing under escort, and ordered all women of the Han family over the age of 15 to join Jiaofang as prostitutes, and women under the age of 15, women over the age of 50, and young children were sold as slaves.

Shen Xi didn't deliberately inquire about their whereabouts, knowing that they were not doing well, she might not be particularly happy, and if she didn't know, it might not be that they would be better than she imagined.

"In fact, he didn't rely entirely on Zheng Xiu to get into the position."

After burning incense, Mrs. Mu sat with her under the threshold, looking at the moon in the sky.

"I've known him since I was a child. He is really studious, talented, and good-looking. At that time, he always called me Miss Lan affectionately, and he helped me make paper kites during the Flower Festival.

"When I was young, I couldn't talk about admiration for him, but I also imagined that if a woman was loved by him, he should be extremely lucky.

"It's just that I never knew that he already had a lover in his heart at that time, and his thoughts were deeper than ordinary people's.

"I don't know, later on I thought I was a childhood sweetheart with him, and compared to the youthful friendship between him and Zheng Xiu, it was nothing at all.

"They took the wrong path, and they even led me to the wrong path."

The moonlight shone on her upturned face, which was full of sadness.

"It's strange to say that when he was alive, I hated him, but when he died, I would think of the past many years ago.

"How wonderful it would be if time stayed at that time, boys and girls in their teens have no ambitions and no grievances.

"—the deepest memory in a person's heart may be when he was a teenager."

Shen Xi also looked up at the moonlight and remained silent.

Her teenager was in the previous life, in the Zhang Mansion.

But because of the Han family and Wen Chan, she lost everything.

She has no intention of containing everything, and she has no intention of killing everything, but everything she lost will never come back, this is a fact.

Therefore, she couldn't empathize deeply with Mu's feelings.

Returning to Shen's residence in the middle of the night, the two parted ways at the gate of Minxiang Courtyard.

She looked at the moonlight in the sky, but did not go back to her room.

Under the wall, the crape myrtle is in full bloom, and the falling shadows are like splashed ink.

Suddenly, she said quietly: "Qi Jiu, accompany me to Zhang's residence."

When He Lanzhun returned to Yulan Palace, Huo Jiu had already come from King Yan, and he was sitting on the recliner where he used to read and waited.

"Where have you been?" He flipped through the book with a book in his hand, without looking up.

"Go out for a walk."

The night was quiet, and the tone of the two of them was also low, and they looked more and more sloppy.

The servant came to change He Lanzhun's clothes, Huo Jiu raised his head: "My lord asked me to go to the Ministry of Punishment, but it was Jin Xiao who was transferred. Jin Xiao is the one who sends cold."

He Lanzhun paused his arms slightly, and turned his head slightly.

"He's about to get married, so it's normal to give him some power."

Speaking of this, he put his hands through his sleeves and regained his expression: "Besides, he has contributed the most this time. Although the prince has used his strength at the key points, he has performed extremely well in planning and responding.

"Under pressure, the little emperor had to let Liang Xiu and him succumb, which shows his strength."

He straightened his plain white clothes, walked back and said, "Besides, Jin Xiao is not only in charge of the fixed prison, but also the three guards of Tongzhou."

"That's not what I want to say." Huo Jiu glanced at him, and his tone suddenly became ambiguous: "The one who married him is Shen Xi, maybe they will have a little son soon."

He Lanzhun was about to serve tea, when he heard that his hands were on the side of the cup, his knuckles gradually did not move.

He leaned over and said, "It's such a fine night, shall we visit Mr. Mei?"

Huo Jiu's face turned cold.

Turning around, he sat up: "Aren't you sorry? She doesn't even know your heart."

It is clearly May, but the moonlight outside the window is cold.

Why did Huo Jiu want to stab him in the heart, but he didn't feel well, so why not go together.

The women of the Shen family are heartless.One Shen Xi made Xiao Huai fascinated, and made He Lanzhun uneasy, and one Shen Yan made him lose his senses.

She said she was engaged, that she couldn't break her promise, that it would be rude to accept him.

At that moment, he felt like a clown in everything he did.

Just let go.

But seeing her standing alone under the lamp in Xiaohuai's other courtyard, I can't help her heart.

"If it were me, I would die knowingly even if I die." He put his hands behind his head and said quietly.

He Lanzhun picked up the cup, and said calmly as usual, "It's like you, now that you understand, you're completely dead."

Huo Jiu turned his head and gouged him.

He Lanzhun drank his tea with downcast eyes.

The moonlight is worthless.

Qi Jiu opened the door of Zhang's house from the inside, the creaking sound broke the silence, Shen Xi walked in, and a few lanterns were lit under the door.

The house that has been vacant for 13 years has long lost its popularity. Although the Han family has been taken care of over the years so that it is not dilapidated and deserted, the smell of mildew is still accompanied by a bit of desolation.

"The house has seven entrances, the first entrance is the entrance hall, the second entrance is the ordinary living room, the third entrance is the flower hall, the fourth entrance is the VIP hall, and the fifth entrance is the main courtyard.

"The sixth entrance is the Baihui Hall of the mother, and the seventh entrance has three courtyards, and the garden behind it.

"There are five large and small side courtyards on the East Road, and there are buildings on the West Road with Changxuan Qintai and internal and external studies. I live in Biyunzhai on the East Road."

She finished speaking with her eyes closed, and then opened her eyes and stepped onto the corridor of the second entrance.

The Helian Dynasty originated in the south, and the courtyards were built as one likes, not the regular northern courtyards.

Shen Xi arrived at Biyunzhai by car, and looked at each room in the exquisite two-story building, and then went downstairs to the small lake on the West Road.

In the end, he couldn't help but staggered when he stepped up the steps, and sat down on the railing.

My heart is like wind and clouds, coming and going, over and over again, without stopping.

After Zhang Ying's death, there was only one young lady in the Zhang family, Zhang Huanxuan, and no one lived in her boudoir, so even the decoration was still in the style she liked.

But the lakeside where she loved to sit and enjoy the shade in the past has changed. There are more sets of stone tables and chairs here, and the Taihu stone outside the pavilion has also been changed to Qingyun stone steps.

Xu Jing also came to this place often.

Mu Shi said that the most unforgettable thing for a person is the memory of his youth.

"When did you know he belonged to Xu Jing?"

She suddenly muttered to herself in the wind, so that Qi Jiu, who had been silently by her side all this time, suddenly said "Huh?"

She stroked the peeling railing: "Let me tell you, since when did you know that He Lanzhun is Xu Jing's. Was it that night in Xu's cemetery, or later?"

Under the moonlight, Qi Jiu's face was a little flustered, and his arms loosened subconsciously.

Sitting on the railing, her expression was still calm, without anger or resentment, but the words that came out of her mouth made people feel terrified.
