One City Spring Lane

Chapter 16 Extra Story: Memorabilia

Jimoyan's original intention was to take Mocheng, but he never thought that the imperial court would also solve his lifelong affairs by the way.

From this point of view, the emperor is quite interesting, at least his bachelor subordinates are very envious of this.

Mocheng's climate is not as good as that of the Central Plains, and the delicate daughter of the clan might find it difficult to adapt.People around him persuaded Jimoyan to build a new residence for the upcoming wife of the city lord so that she could live more comfortably.At that time, Jimoyan was building the city lord's mansion, but he didn't have the slightest intention to make arrangements for his future wife. He said casually: "It's just a canonized princess, not a real princess, how can it be so precious."

Everyone is spreading rumors in private that the city lord's wife will have a hard time in the future.

This year's spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and Mocheng is not as bad as it was in previous years. The weather is like a tamed beast, surprisingly well-behaved.The convoy from Chang'an arrived in Mocheng without incident.

Jimoyan straddled his horse at the gate of the city, he was not wearing a wedding dress, he was still in armor.He is nearly forty years old, but his features are straight, his face is white and beardless, and he has a strong body due to fighting all the year round. Now he is in military uniform, needless to say, he looks dignified, and there are many women in Mocheng around who are giving him ominous glances.

The convoy stopped slowly, and an eunuch tremblingly announced in a shrill voice that the princess had arrived. He rode forward and unceremoniously opened the curtain.

Not to mention the send-off team, even the officials and people in Mo City were taken aback by his actions.It is expected that the bride is a golden branch and jade leaf raised in a deep boudoir, and she must have screamed, but everyone just waited for Jimoyan's astonished face when he let go of his hand and walked away, and the car was peaceful.

After a while, a hand stretched out from the car, followed by the whole person.The slender girl looks like a spring jasmine sticking out of the courtyard wall in early spring, graciously meeting the eyes of everyone, standing on the car with the car door.

She also didn't wear a wedding dress, but a simple Luo Yi, not even a patterned pendant, and there were no pearls and hairpins on her hair.

Probably this is why Jimo Yan was surprised.

He squeezed the reins tightly, and squinted at the girl: "Why doesn't the princess wear a wedding dress when she gets married? Could it be that His Majesty sent you to humiliate me on purpose?"

The officials in the sending-off team turned pale with fright, but the princess gave an unruly smile: "The husband is dressed in a military uniform to welcome the bride, he can be regarded as a general. Is the concubine married in a simple way, and she can also be considered a virtue of frugality?"

Jimo Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly put one hand on his waist and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty really chose a good wife for me." He suddenly took a step forward on the horse, put his hand around her waist, put her on the horse, The horse left.

The people on the street were terrified again. It's not like a nobleman getting married, it's like a bandit robbing Mrs. Yazhai!

Any newlyweds belong to the newlyweds, you and I, but Jimoyan took his newlywed wife back to the mansion in front of the whole city that day, and then he didn't ask any more questions.

On the wedding night, it was said that he and his subordinates got very drunk, and all the servants in the mansion believed that the wife of the city lord must have stayed alone all night with the mentality of watching a good show.Since he was so unpopular with the city lord, the servants didn't care too much about serving him.Those who have their own beauty in the mansion are also beginning to move around, wanting to occupy the city lord's pillow.

Jimo Yan also turned a blind eye to the new lady, he was wary of the new lady, and wanted to see her reaction.

Unexpectedly, the new wife's reaction was not the slightest reaction. From the first day she entered the mansion, she began to take over the big and small affairs of the mansion spontaneously and consciously, and handled all the internal affairs, as if she was a good housekeeper. Obviously, the people in the mansion depended on her reaction. In his eyes, he seemed to be ignorant, and always greeted people with a smile on his face.

Naturally, Jimoyan was somewhat frustrated, deliberately ignoring her for more than half a month, but when he quietly watched from a distance, he still had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, where is the half-term Ai Ai?He is not a boy who has never seen a woman before, but he is a little confused about this newlywed wife. He clearly sees that she is many years younger than him, but why is he so hard to figure out?
That day when he was patrolling the border barracks, the housekeeper suddenly reported that something had happened at the house and asked him to go back to the house immediately to deal with it.

Jimo Yan had already told him not to disturb him if there was no major matter, since the housekeeper would come, it meant that it was not a trivial matter.He hurried back to the house, only to learn that his new wife, whom he hadn't seen for almost a month, had been driven to live in the remotest courtyard in the northwest corner.

Although his current mansion is not considered luxurious, the difference in level is still very obvious.Originally, the princess's wife lived in the main courtyard facing south, with him, but now she was driven to such a remote corner, as if she had been thrown into a cold palace.

Although Jimoyan had weird thoughts about the princess, his wife was ridiculed and treated coldly when he was not around, and he felt that he couldn't hold back his face. As soon as he returned to the house, he called the perpetrator over for questioning.

Several servant girls stood in front of him, and Jimo Yan could tell at a glance that it was a conspiracy between women.

"What's going on? You don't even give face to the city lord's wife, don't you give me face as the city lord?"

The leading maid smiled coquettishly and said: "The city lord has wronged us. She is a princess. How can we have the guts to touch her? It was the princess who thought she was wrong, so she moved to live in a side courtyard. We don't care about anything." Didn't do it."

The rest of the servant girls nodded their heads, without the slightest hint of fear in their eyes.

Jimoyan frowned, sent these people away first, and asked the housekeeper privately, it was true that the princess herself was going to live in the side courtyard, and the reason was just a jealousy with the maid.Now he was even more unhappy. On the day of the wedding, he felt that she was acting differently from ordinary people. Ben took a high look, but he didn't expect that she was the same as other women.Now that there is no way out, do you dislike him for neglecting her, or do you deliberately show him face?Is it possible to retreat to advance?Hey, how can he be a person who will be threatened?

After listening to the passage, Jimoyan took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "Let her go." It's better to take this opportunity to let her fully recognize her position.He thought gloatingly.

In those few years, Ruoqiang's treachery was obvious, and he was eager to move all day long.Jimoyan stayed at the mansion for one night and then rushed to the barracks. Before leaving, he even asked the housekeeper to persuade the princess in a fake way. The main idea is that my husband is too busy and I don't have time to enlighten you in person, but I still specially sent you Someone is here to invite you, so why not move back to live in a timely manner, anyway, it will be a step down for you.

Jimoyan guessed that she dared to confront him the first time they met, and she would never accept this.Sure enough, the princess did not accept his kindness.

However, when he returned to the mansion again, he suddenly saw his wife whom he had not seen for several months sitting at the head of the hall, with a white face and red lips, refreshed, she did not appear to have been wronged at all.

He took off his cloak, didn't even bother to wash off the dust on his hands, looked her up and down, but only saw a calm face.

"My husband has worked hard to protect his family and country these days." She ordered someone to bring hot water, and came over to help him clean his hands.

It was only then that Jimoyan noticed that the maidservants who had been serving close to him before were all gone.

The princess noticed his eyes looking around and smiled: "What is my husband looking for? Those maids? I have driven them all out of the house."

Jimo Yan frowned: "Expelled from the mansion? What did they do?"

"Of course I made a mistake." The princess smiled lightly: "I guess my husband wouldn't care about these trivial matters, but if you don't believe in my ability to handle things, I should naturally report all of them. Please make a decision." .”

Jimoyan thought about it for a moment, he really didn't like to worry about the fights between these women, daily military affairs and external troubles were enough to worry about, so he changed his tone and said: "I just don't think it's necessary to expel people from the mansion. .”

"Husband should know that I was punished to live in a side courtyard a while ago. They were clearly above me, but they were expelled from the mansion by me. Isn't that enough to say right or wrong? Husband has his own rules of conduct." , why am I not?"

Jimoyan glanced at the housekeeper, who glanced at him cautiously, but said nothing.

The princess handed him the wrung handkerchief to wipe his hands: "What my husband wants is peace in the mansion, no worries about the future, what are you going to do?"

Jimoyan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and glanced at her, she still had a smile on her face, her eyebrows were exquisite, but she had a faint heroic spirit.He suddenly smiled, waved his hands back and forth, took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her waist, his palms were as soft as silk, and he grasped her tightly, he couldn't help but put more force on her, until he squeezed her into his chest.

"The princess acted vigorously and resolutely, which really won my heart."

The princess snuggled into his arms and froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She raised her face and smiled like a flower: "In this way, you and I are a good match from heaven."

Jimoyan gently sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and whispered in her ear ambiguously: "My husband doesn't know the princess's boudoir name yet."

The princess's name is Li Daocheng, and she is titled Princess Daocheng. She took this name because her father, the cousin of the current emperor, is a fanatical monk.She leaned against Jimoyan softly, and said softly: "My concubine's baby name is Huanyu." There was a lot of affection in her words.

There is obviously a heroic spirit, but suddenly tenderness is revealed. Rao Jimoyan's experience is also a little bit swaying.

He finally stayed at the new wife's place that night.

On the second day, the servants of the mansion looked at the wife of the city lord again, and sure enough, their vision was wrong, and there was no disrespect in the slightest.

Ruoqiang's frequent harassing made Jimo Yan very annoying, and there were many people who excluded him in the Central Plains, once he bullied the emperor, the emperor would naturally not let him have a good time.

Whenever he thought of the distant Central Plains and the emperor in the past, Jimoyan recalled mostly the years when he assisted the emperor in conquests, but now it is strange, the first thing that pops into his mind is his wife.

At first, I was waiting and watching, but now I got closer and became fascinated by it.Jimoyan often uses various things to test her reaction, and her performance is beyond his expectation every time, but he appreciates it.

For so many years, it seemed that he met such a woman for the first time, which made him feel that he was of the same kind as him, and he was in harmony with each other.She is like a long-reading book, which makes people feel novel every day.Originally, he only went back to the house occasionally to accompany her, but gradually it turned into going back to the house every day.

Jimoyan himself hadn't noticed it, but it was only when the housekeeper mentioned it that he realized it.

The city lord's mansion was nearly completed, and the craftsmen came to him to return his orders. Jimoyan suddenly remembered that the princess had mentioned that the snow outside the Great Wall was breathtakingly beautiful, so he temporarily added a request to build a high pavilion in the mansion, where you can look at Chang'an from afar, and you can also Enjoy the snow scenery.

When he arrived at the residence in the evening, he told the princess about it, she just nodded with a smile: "Although I didn't say it outright, my husband has thought of me thoroughly, and only those who have a heart can express this kind of heart."

Probably because he was moved by the phrase "there is a consonant heart", Jimoyan was filled with emotions in his heart, and suddenly walked over to hug her tightly.There were many precautions against her, or the precautions had not been reduced at all, but at this moment, there was a feeling of meeting a bosom friend.

Later, whenever he thought about it, he felt that he was probably the one who moved his heart at that time.

Later, he intentionally relaxed a lot. Sometimes he would be busy in the military camp, and even go on a tour, so he handed over the duty of the acting city lord to the princess. When he came back, he found that she had arranged everything in an orderly manner. He was both surprised and happy, and even felt that if She is a man and a hero.

It took three full years to get Mocheng to be considered completely stable, and Ruoqiang never dared to do anything wrong again.The sense of urgency in Jimo Yan's heart eased a lot.With this relaxation, the attention is completely transferred to life.

He is in his forties, and it is time to have a child.

Jimoyan has been fighting all the year round, his body is strong and healthy, and he and the princess are becoming more and more in love with each other, but the princess's stomach has not moved at all in the past three years, which is really strange.

Now it's not the same as before, he knew how worried the princess was, and didn't directly mention the matter, but secretly ordered the doctor in the mansion to find an opportunity to diagnose her, and if there was any problem, he would recuperate in time.

It just so happened that the princess felt a little unwell due to the cold, so the doctor took the opportunity to diagnose again and again, frowning, he came to report to Jimoyan, saying that the princess was fine, she was in very good health, and should have had an heir long ago. No brains.

For such an unclear reason, Jimo Yan was naturally annoyed, he drove away the doctor, and ordered people to visit famous doctors.Every doctor who came to the door found an excuse to treat the princess, but the answer was the same. Both of them were in very good health, and they should have had children long ago.

Jimoyan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say a word when he saw the person who was smiling like a flower in front of him every day.Countless conjectures flashed in his mind, and they were extinguished one by one.It was true that the marriage was bestowed by Emperor Taizu wishful thinking at the beginning, but the husband and wife have been together for three years, and the harmony is obvious to all, so he no longer wants to doubt his wife.

Reluctance is one thing, after all Jimo Yan is not a person who will trust others easily, he just hides his thoughts in the deepest part.Until one day his subordinate Shi Ziguang came to him and handed him a letter.

The winter night is cold and cool, but the charcoal fire on the Chuuxue Pavilion is as warm as spring.Jimoyan stood at the door for a long time with a face full of wind and snow before he pushed the door open and entered.

Princess Xianxiu's figure loomed behind the heavy curtains, and when she heard footsteps, she came out with a chuckle.Seeing her tender and affectionate face, Jimo Yan was a little bit late when he was about to blurt out.

Shi Ziguang came to him today and told him that the princess still communicated with the Central Plains, and what he gave him was the intercepted letter.Jimoyan has seen the contents of the letter, but he is still unwilling to accept this reality.He himself laughed at himself in his heart, even when he was old, there would be times like this, when he would rather blind his own eyes than trust someone.

"What is your husband thinking?"

The princess was as considerate as ever, but Jimo Yan didn't say a word, he hugged her and fell on the couch, like a carnivorous beast.

Until the next day, before dawn, he opened his eyes and asked suddenly: "Huanyu, you and I have been together for so many years, is it time to have a child?"

The princess's body in his arms froze as expected, and then she sighed and said, "I'm useless, and I'm worrying my husband."

Jimoyan's heart turned cold, but he still asked nonchalantly: "Do you think His Majesty suspects that I have disobedience? If I say that I just want to take Mocheng, will he believe it?"

The princess seemed to be getting more and more unnatural, and the fingers on his chest shrank unconsciously: "How do I know this? I have to ask His Majesty himself."

"That's right, you face me day and night all day long, how do you know the news thousands of miles away?" Jimo Yan stood up and put on his clothes, while smiling half a smile: "I know that you always have principles in your actions, and you will not be easily shaken. But so do I, probably this is why you and I fall in love with each other."

The princess watched him leave without saying a word.

Jimoyan stayed in the barracks for several days, and finally was forced by Shi Ziguang to drink in a tavern in the city before leaving the camp.

Huo Qing is also there, both of them are Jimoyan's right-hand men, they have been confidants for many years, and they have a lot to say.Shi Ziguang knew the bottom line, so he naturally knew what Jimoyan was worrying about. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he directly suggested: "Why bother the city lord, after all, madam is the princess of the royal family, how can she treat you sincerely? In the future, the city lord might as well treat you as soon as possible." Take a few concubines and spread the branches and leaves, so as to plan for the future."

Jimoyan turned the wine glass in his hand, but didn't make a sound.

Huo Qing was a dull gourd, and he didn't speak for a long time after listening to it. He was the youngest of the three, but he was the first to have a family. Now he has two sons under his knees.

Shi Ziguang is very eloquent. From the time when Jimoyan raised troops to follow the Taizu, he did not hesitate to quarrel with his clansmen and broke up. Now he is only in a frontier, and he is still sent as a general who sticks to it. Let me tell you everything , all touched Jimo Yan's deep depression.

Jimoyan himself was surly and elusive, and he had gradually become gentler since he married the princess, but his nature was hard to change after all, he didn't make a sound after listening to a lot, but his face became colder and colder.

When the three of them left the tavern, Huo Qing took a slow step, held Jimo Yan's arm, and signaled that he had something to say.The two watched Shi Ziguang leave, and then he whispered: "The city lord has to be on guard, Shi Ziguang seems to have moved."

They were brothers who were born and died together, and Huo Qing was the most honest, and would never say anything to frame him.Jimoyan pressed the center of his eyebrows, only felt that one head and two big ones, as if everything had changed in a short time, and everything was thrown at him.

"In addition, Rong Mo will say more." Huo Qing pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The end is not clear about the affairs between the city lord and his wife, but Shi Ziguang is right in what he said, the city lord should indeed be the one for the future." Thinking about it, after all Zhongyuan and Ruoqiang are looking at Mocheng, and there is emptiness under their knees, which is not a good thing after all."

Jimo Yan let out a long sigh and nodded: "I listened to what you said."

Going back to the City Lord's Mansion, nothing seems to have changed, the princess is still smiling, but the more this makes Jimo Yan unhappy.As if all the emotions were his wishful thinking, there was nothing abnormal about her, let alone any emotional fluctuations.

Sure enough, he was a man of principle, just the kind of man he loved.Jimo Yan laughed at himself in his heart.

"There is something I want to discuss with you," he said to the princess in a brisk tone, "You and I have been married since the knees are empty, Madam, what do you think?"

The princess looked at him, without changing the smile on her face: "Husband means to take a concubine? That's what it should be, but this is a housework, let me handle it, and make sure the person you choose will satisfy your husband. "

Jimoyan was silent for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face little by little: "Madam really doesn't want to have children for me, it's really painstaking." It's been several days.

When he came back again, it was several months later, and this was the longest time he had been away.

The steward brought a pretty girl to greet the wife of the city lord, and told her that this was the city lord's new concubine, who was pregnant for one month.

The princess' eyes fell on the young girl, who met her gaze without any fear.That's right, Jimo Yan had been doting on his wife for three or four years, and then suddenly changed his sex, presumably she felt that he was superior.

The princess curled her lips, put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and arranged things calmly, and even told her to take good care of the baby, and then went back to the Chuuxue Pavilion and never showed up again.

Within five days, the concubine had a miscarriage.

No one knew the reason, but everyone suspected in their hearts that it was the mayor's wife.The princess just stayed peacefully in the Chuuxue Pavilion every time, ignoring her.

Jimo Yan quickly received the news in the army, but he just raised his eyebrows without asking any further questions.

This kind of thing seems to be one thing and two things. I don't know when the husband and wife have a heart knot, and they will no longer be intimate.One after another, new concubines entered the gate of the city lord's mansion, and the maids in the mansion began to move around after a long absence, and Jimo Yan seemed to always come, and he was a different person from before.

The concubines were very upbeat, and their bellies grew big one by one, but unfortunately none of them lasted long, none of them could give birth to the child smoothly, and even two of them died because of it.

Jimoyan still didn't care, he seemed to be competing with the princess to see who would pierce the layer of paper first and who would lower his head first.

Huo Qing couldn't see it, and came to him quietly, holding the intercepted letter in his hand: "The city lord has to guard against it, it is important to leave an heir."

Jimo Yan's heart was ashamed.

In the early spring of that year, Jimo Yan had his first heir, who was very lucky, a son.But he almost only glanced at it, without hugging it, and handed it over to Huo Qing.

"Won't the city lord give the young city lord a name?" The half-lived woman was lying on the bed, and she was still thinking about her son's future when she was dying, so she even changed her name to "Young City Lord".

Jimoyan met her expectant eyes and thought for a moment: "It's okay to name it Tan."

Huo Qingying claimed it was, and returned to the mansion with the child in his arms.

The mother burst into tears instantly, grabbed Jimo Yan's clothes and asked heartbreakingly why she couldn't raise him?Why send him away from the City Lord's Mansion?That child suffered a lot when he was still in the womb, and was born weak, so how could a mother who is called have the heart to hand it over to others.

Jimo Yan broke her hand and walked out: "You don't need to worry about the rest."

The parturient was stunned for a moment, and then she continued to cry until she passed out from crying.

Jimoyan is surrounded by fat, swallows and thin, and he is not lacking in beauty. Although he has lived in the city lord's mansion for a long time, he has not seen the princess for a long time.She had already moved to Chuuxue Pavilion, and almost stayed at home all day.

The concubines think they are big, but they are restricted everywhere, because they have to ask the city lord's wife for decisions on all matters in the mansion, and Jimo Yan allowed it.

He would sometimes look at the attic from a distance, especially when it was snowing, because he knew that the princess liked to come out to watch the snow when it was snowing.

Time is like a river, calm on the surface and turbulent inside.Jimoyan thought of his son again because his biological mother committed suicide suddenly.

Huo Qing hurriedly came to tell Jimoyan that she had seen the princess before she died, and she was afraid that the princess already knew about Jimotan's existence.

Jimo Yan waved his hand and ordered people to go to various important places to intercept, as expected, it was another letter, she wanted to inform the imperial court about her having an heir, she was so dedicated to her responsibilities, it has not changed for many years, it really deserves admiration.

Jimoyan looked at the letter, leaned on his waist and laughed for a long while in the study, until the end of the laugh he couldn't tell whether it was hatred or chilling.

Who is right and who is wrong?He and her are destined to be two opposite people, any tenderness and sweetness that last forever is just an illusion!
By now, maybe it's time to make it clear.

But when he was thinking about how to deal with his wife, Shi Ziguang turned his back.

In the cold winter, his brave subordinates are now fighting against him. Jimo Yan never thought that such a day would come.

But probably when he first occupied Mo City, the emperor felt the same way.

Shi Ziguang is different from Huo Qing, Huo Qing is peaceful and nostalgic, he is a person who will be loyal all his life.But Shi Ziguang and Jimoyan have too many similarities, they both have ambition and courage, but they are both difficult to deal with.

Jimoyan persuaded him to surrender to no avail, and the soldiers pushed in. He actually led his troops to join Ruoqiang, gathered Ruoqiang's troops to counterattack, and broke into Mocheng.

When Jimoyan led his troops to resist, he suddenly heard that Shi Ziguang had brought a group of troops into the city lord's mansion, and couldn't help but change his face.

However, the situation was not so serious that it could not be rescued. The reinforcements from the imperial court came, and Jimo Yan joined hands with the emperor again after many years, this time to wipe out his subordinates.

Shi Ziguang was defeated and did not escape back to Ruoqiang, but fought alone to the death.Jimoyan took him personally, and he fell off the horse. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he suddenly raised his face and smiled dryly: "The city lord... no, I still want to call you general. Since you became the city lord, you will separated from us."

Jimoyan sat on the horse with a blank face, the tip of the gun in his hand was still pointed at his throat.

Shi Ziguang simply lay on his back on the ground and said in a low voice, "I have something to ask..."

Jimoyan remembered that he had saved his life before, and finally got off his horse and asked, "What's the matter?"

The imperial reinforcements withdrew smoothly, and the princess was under Jimoyan's surveillance from beginning to end, and had no contact with the imperial court.Jimo Yan more or less guessed that the imperial court would send troops to come because of the princess, but he didn't say anything.

Two months later, he brought back a girl from the frontier restaurant, named her Shiyu, and said he would adopt her as his adopted daughter.

This matter was not spread, after all, the people in the mansion thought that the city lord had no heirs for a long time, so they adopted a daughter as a comfort in desperation, so of course they didn't dare to poke him where it hurts.Huo Qing came to ask about it once, Jimo Yan rarely thought of his son again, and brought Shi Yu to Huo's mansion to meet him.

Time flies, and in a short time his son has grown taller than a seedling, but he is cowardly, and Jimo Yan doesn't like him at all. He even mentioned it to Huo Qing many times in private, asking him to be stricter, and don't teach him to be weak. How to inherit Mocheng?
Huo Qing is also helpless, human beings say it is natural, so how can it be that strictness will work?What's more, that child is so weak, who is willing to scold him?
As Jimoyan becomes more and more dissatisfied with his son, he feels Shi Yu's excellence more and more.Sometimes he feels that Shi Yu is his own child, the child of him and the princess, and even thinks that she has the air of a princess no matter how she acts or speaks. Not arrogant.

Sometimes the princess would take a look at the backs of the adoptive father and daughter from afar on the Chuuxue Pavilion. She knew that things were out of her control, and she was completely under Jimoyan's control.

Since then, she has never stepped down from the Chuuxue Pavilion again.

"Princess..." The knocking sound rang three times, and the maid gently opened the curtain, and said in a low voice: "Your letter has been intercepted again, and the city lord has blocked all the entrances and exits. The Central Plains has contacted."

"Oh, I see."

The princess got up very calmly, lit the candle, moved away from the left and right, and put on makeup in front of the mirror.

When she got married back then, she also did the makeup by herself. She took away Feng Guanxia's pearls and hairpins, and wore the most plain clothes.The face of the year is still there, but the state of mind is quite different.

No, maybe she hasn't changed at all, otherwise, how could she have come to this point?

After finishing her makeup, she smiled at the mirror, put on her cloak and walked outside the door.It was the darkest time, and I couldn't see anything, I could only feel the traces of heavy snow blowing on my face and melting, and the sound of the wind was whimpering in my ears, like crying, or like a song from beyond the Great Wall.

She recalled all the things before, after all, she did a lot of things she shouldn't do, and after all, she became someone she didn't want to be.

At dawn, she had already stood on the attic all night, and stepped towards the railing...

Shi Yu was awakened in the middle of the night, and the lights outside the room were heavy, she quickly put on her clothes and went out, ran towards the source of the sound, until the Lord Chuuxue stopped, and saw Jimoyan kneeling there in the snow, even naked He ran out of the room without even putting on his clothes.

He was holding someone in his arms, his back was trembling slightly, and there were big blood stains on the snow in front of him...

That was the first time she saw the mayor's wife, and also the last time.

Jimoyan's body seems to have deteriorated after the death of the city lord's wife, and even his heart has changed. There are almost no people around him who dare to get close, only Shi Yu can always be by his side.He kept his physical condition hidden until he fell down.

That day, the spring day was warm, and his spirit seemed to improve a lot suddenly. He called Shi Yu to come and explained many things.

Shi Yu didn't feel good, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He memorized every word he said in his heart until he felt tired and closed his mouth. Then he asked in a low voice, "What's your plan, father?"

"This is my last plan."

Shi Yu immediately knelt down in front of the bed.

Jimoyan laughed twice: "Don't be nervous, life and death are life and death, my life has been a good one, it's worth it."

His temperament has not lasted for a day or two, and he suddenly started joking, Shi Yu was even more surprised.

Jimoyan waved his hand and called her to come closer: "After I die, you will succeed me as the city lord. Ah Zhan is too weak and in poor health. It's hard to do well. Only with your help can we succeed."

Shi Yu hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, the position of city lord will naturally be seated by Ah Zhan. It is my duty to assist him, there is no other way."

Jimoyan nodded, and his tone suddenly became cold: "There is one more thing, you must keep it in mind."

Shi Yu bowed his head and listened.

"Remember, Mo City cannot be returned to the Central Plains. You must rebel for your father, rebel against this country, and rebel against this emperor!"

Shi Yu looked up in astonishment, and looked at him in disbelief: "Father, this is..."

Jimo Yan raised his hand to interrupt her: "You just agree."

"..." Shi Yu remained silent. She had been taught by Jimoyan not long after she followed him, and she knew that she would one day assist Ah Zhan, but it was unexpected for her to succeed the city lord, and she even wanted to rebel against the court ?
Jimoyan couldn't wait for her to answer, but he didn't ask any more questions. After a long time, he suddenly said: "What do you think is the most hurtful thing in this world?"

Shi Yu shook his head.

"Emotion hurts the most, and the royal family used it to deal me the most fatal blow."

The past is dusty, even Shi Yu only knows the superficiality, and every time he mentions it to Jimo for no reason, he can only give a rough idea.But one day Jimo Wubai suddenly told her that things didn't seem to be what she thought.

"What's that like?" Shi Yu walked side by side with him in the corridor, and subconsciously glanced at the high-standing Chuuxue Pavilion in the distance.

Jimo Wubai put away his smiling expression, and thought about it seriously: "I went to Chuuxuege to inquire about Jimo Tan's life experience, and then found the handwriting of the lady of the city lord."

"I already know that." Shi Yu didn't say it very happily: "Father closed the Chuuxue Pavilion a long time ago. I shouldn't have opened it there, and let you take advantage of the loopholes to mess around in it."

Jimo Wubai laughed: "Don't worry about it, there are a lot of secrets in this notebook. Let's talk about your father... uh, I mean Shi Ziguang. After Shi Ziguang led people to kill the city lord's mansion, in fact He has seen the mayor's wife."

Shi Yu couldn't help but stop: "Oh? What did they say?"

"Shi Ziguang seemed to know that the princess had sent reinforcements and wanted to take her as a hostage, but the wife of the city owner pretended to be afraid and acted ignorant, and deceived him."

"..."

"There is also Jimo Tan's biological mother. Before she died, she met the wife of the city lord. She wanted to force her to give up her position so that she could take over the position and have a chance to reunite with her mother and child. But she thought things too simply and told the wife of the city lord, Jimo Tan, directly. In the manuscript, it is said that Jimo Tan’s biological mother asked his wife if she could give birth to an heir for the city lord, what can she do for the city lord? Guess how the lady answered?”

Shi Yu sneered: "I guess she will dismiss it."

Jimo Wubai shook his head: "She said that she would accompany Jimo Yan to the underworld, but I'm afraid she would have to go one step earlier."

"..." Shi Yu was silent, it turned out that she was not ruthless.Since this step was expected long ago, Linglong thought, why bother.

Jimo Wubai embraced her: "It is expected that the wife of the city lord also has difficulties, so I can only say that the relationship is deep and the relationship is shallow. Now that they are underground, they should have made it clear."

Shi Yu turned her head and glanced at Chuuxue Pavilion again, Mocheng, which was half destroyed, was reborn in blood, only this place is still the same as before.

But what it looked like back then, perhaps only the people themselves knew.
