A plaque with the words "Yanyu Building" hung in front of the elegant small building. Lin Aoxue's gaze stayed on the plaque for a long time, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In front of the building stood a notice board with a couplet on it. The couplet only had the upper que, and it seemed that someone was waiting for someone to fill the lower que. There are many literati and scholars gathered together to exchange the artistic conception of the couplets, and do their best to connect the couplets.

Xu is Lin Aoxue standing outside the door for too long, the servant in front of the building noticed her, the servant frowned and walked to Lin Aoxue, although there was disgust in his eyes, but it did not show on his face, he clenched his fists towards Lin Aoxue, politely. said:

"This guest, if you want to enter the Yanyu Building, please show the couplet in front of the building. If the guest is just passing by, please don't stay here."

Lin Aoxue wears the most ordinary coarse clothes, and the guests who come and go in the Yanyu Building are all brocade clothes and jade crowns. They are either rich or expensive. Even what this little servant wears is richer than Lin Aoxue. Standing here, she is really different from the entire Yanyu Building. The atmosphere is out of place.

The servant's attitude was polite enough, and Lin Aoxue had no reason to be angry. She glanced at the first couplet on the notice and knew that she really couldn't be right. He clenched his fists and pleaded guilty, turned his head and left.

She returned to the inn, and asked the second inn about the small building facing the street. The second knew that she was from out of town, so she told her that the small building facing the street was called Yanyu Building, and it was backed by powers in Beijing. This building was the capital of Beijing. This is an elegant place where nobles appreciate lyrics and listen to music, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

To enter the Yanyu Building, officials below the fifth rank must either hold an invitation letter with a special seal, or they need to be talented and have the couplet posted before going out.

Lin Aoxue heard that the Yanyu Building still has such a regulation, and at the same time, she couldn't help but connect the Yanyu Building in the north and the Yanyu Building in the capital. However, the Yanyu Building in the north is a brothel, while the Yanyu Building in the capital, But much more elegant.

As far as she knew, there was no such small building in the capital ten years ago.

Maybe, just the same name.

Even though she had come to such a conclusion in her heart, Lin Aoxue couldn't help but recall the short piece of the qin song she heard just now, and she always felt that she was familiar. But she couldn't enter the Yanyu Building to check, so she had to keep the matter in her heart and not think about it.

Lin Aoxue sat in the hall of the inn for a while, ordered a pot of warm wine, and only had two drinks before Guo Wencheng walked back from outside. He went back to Lao Guo's house today, and without any accident, he was closed, disheartened, and very depressed.

Seeing Lin Aoxue drinking in the hall, he also leaned over and took two small drinks.

The two were drinking and chatting. Lin Aoxue mentioned Yanyu Building unintentionally. She said that she just went out for a walk and saw a small building with the same name as the Yanyu Building in the north, but the style was quite different.

Guo Wencheng laughed that she just looked rigid, but in fact people still understand Fengyue. Lin Aoxue saw that Guo Wencheng didn't know the details, so he didn't ask any further details.

The next day the emperor summoned the order to declare Guo Wencheng and Lin Aoxue to enter the palace. Their names were recorded by the guards guarding the city gate when they entered the city. The emperor had already issued an decree earlier that if he saw a general from the north, he should report it in time. Therefore, the emperor already knew that Guo Wencheng had returned to Beijing. matter.

Guo Wencheng put on the general's uniform, and Lin Aoxue put on the military uniform. The two came to the palace under the leadership of the messenger. The palace was built in a very broad style. Show an identity token.

Lin Aoxue was a small household with a thousand households, so she didn't have a token in her hand. Without a herald to lead the way, she wouldn't even be able to enter the outermost gate of the palace.

They were led by the messenger to the Xuande Hall where the emperor went to court, and they handed in their weapons outside the main hall gate, and only then did they enter the hall to meet the emperor.

There are many ministers standing side by side on both sides of the court hall, all wearing court clothes. From the front of the jade steps to the entrance of the main hall, the official rank decreases. high and low.

There were many faces in the hall that Lin Aoxue knew. Some of them were brothers with her father before the accident at her house, but after the accident at their house, these people hid one by one faster than the other, wishing they could immediately get in touch with each other. Skim clean.

No one came forward to say a word for her father.

It was also at that time that Lin Aoxue understood that between people, most of them were exchanges of interests, and sincere feedback was very rare.

After entering the hall, Lin Aoxue kept her head down. In her capacity, she only needed to follow Guo Wencheng, respectfully, and not show rudeness. When I just entered the hall, I took a cursory glance, and I had a general impression of the nine-five-year-old son of the emperor in my mind.

The emperor saw Guo Wencheng entering the hall, followed by a soldier, but the mask on the soldier's face caught his attention, so Guo Wencheng and Lin Aoxue knelt down and bowed their heads, and after three long live, he didn't ask them to get up, only road:

"Why is the child in the hall covering his face?"

Even at the moment of the Son of Heaven, Lin Aoxue did not appear alarmed in this court. Hearing the emperor's words, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied:

"Weichen's face is flawed, and the burn marks are ugly, and I am afraid that it will collide with Your Majesty."

Lin Aoxue is a thousand households, and although he is of a humble rank, he is also a subject of Beichen.

The emperor said it was okay and asked her to take off the mask.

There was no change in Lin Aoxue's eyes. The emperor was so curious that she could not help obeying. Since she had the assurance of the innocence of the emperor's words, she had no scruples and lifted half of the mask on her right face in public.

As soon as the mask was lifted, all the courtiers were startled and subconsciously retreated. What's more, there was a sound of exclamation from their mouths. Only the Prime Minister, Prince Bei Chenhe, and the Imperial Army all did not change their expressions.

The emperor himself was also startled, but he had his own words in advance, and he could not break his words, so he barely kept his composure. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he raised his hand and ordered Lin Aoxue to put on the mask again. Only then did he say "flat body" and turned his eyes to Guo Wencheng. , motioning him to report the border battle.

Before coming to Xuande Hall, Guo Wencheng had already thought about what he should say in front of the emperor. He did not hesitate. He told all about the border wars in recent years, including some representative Lin Aoxue before he joined the army. battle.

At the end, Guo Wencheng also highlighted Lin Aoxue's name, saying:

"Your Majesty, Lin Qianhu is under the tutelage of Master Hongming. His martial arts skills make the barbarians feel fearful. He joined the army after the autumn harvest last year. In just one year, he has achieved many achievements in battle, and even more so during the Poyan battle before January. extremely important role.”

Guo Wencheng briefly described Lin Aoxue's heroic deeds at the border. The emperor was very pleased when he heard that Lin Aoxue had performed bravely in the battle to retake Poyan.

However, due to Lin Aoxue's young age in the army, the ranks of the army rose and fell. Except for the official positions above the fourth-rank general level, which must be submitted to the capital in the form of documents, they were all decided by the general Bei Chenlong. Therefore, the emperor only rewarded Lin Aoxue with some gold and silver jewelry. , and then some words of encouragement.

Guo Wencheng was also rewarded, and the emperor raised his salary, made him a normal general, and made him and Lin Aoxue temporarily stay in Beijing until the next spring when the weather was warmer, and then returned to the north.

In order to promote his own virtue, the emperor did not criticize too much for the recent defeat of Poyan and the plunder by barbarians, but he said that the northern border has suffered heavy losses in recent years, and it is not easy to train new recruits, so he let the third prince Bei Chenyu lead the five. Ten thousand elite soldiers, went to the north to support, and also experienced some training.

Hearing the emperor's words, Guo Wencheng's brows furrowed slightly, but he did not express his opinion, but thanked the emperor together with Lin Aoxue.

The emperor looked tired, and after arranging the border affairs, he waved his hand to let the **** announce his withdrawal from the court, and all the ministers kowtowed to send the emperor away from the Xuande Hall, and then they left the stage slowly and orderly.

After leaving the Xuande Palace, Guo Wencheng called to stop Lin Aoxue and told her that he would go home again and would not go with Lin Aoxue. Therefore, after Guo Wencheng and Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, they split up. Lin Aoxue sent Guo Wencheng away, planning to Go straight back to the inn.

"Lin Qianhu, please stay."

Lin Aoxue walked no more than two steps, when a middle-aged man's voice came from behind, calling her back. Lin Aoxue turned around and looked at her, her eyes suddenly froze. In the next instant, her breath naturally relaxed again, and a look of coldness appeared on her face. With a smile, he bowed and saluted the person who came:

"Lin Aoxue has seen the adults."

Prince Bei Chenhe raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"Can Lin Qianhu recognize this king?"

Lin Aoxue also laughed:

"To tell the truth, I don't know the prince, but His Highness calls himself the prince, so I know it."

Bei Chenhe found it interesting. He knew that Lin Aoxue knew what he said, not just his official position, but also his identity, so he asked:

"How to know? The person who calls himself the king in the palace is not the only one."

Lin Aoxue did not hide it and answered truthfully:

"Back to the prince's words, the prince is in front of the palace to the right of the prime minister, and is the first person in front of your majesty. Since entering the capital yesterday, I have heard a lot. It is said that your majesty and the prince's palace are close and have a very close relationship, so I have this conjecture. The prince should be the prince of the prince's palace."

Hearing this, Beichen laughed, the straight road was interesting, without any pretense, he seemed approachable. He patted Lin Aoxue on the shoulder and praised:

"Lin Qianhu is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also attentive and dreadful.

At the end, he changed his voice and asked Lin Aoxue with a smile:

"I don't know if Lin Qianhu has free time this time. This king wants to go back to the East, so I invite Lin Qianhu to drink tea."

Lin Aoxue rescued Beichenling yesterday. Beichenling told him about this Lin Qianhu. He thought about the thousands of households in Beijing. Although there were several surnamed Lin, they were all very different from Beichenling's description. When he saw Lin Aoxue, he recalled what Bei Chenling said about the person wearing the mask, and only then did he determine that it was Lin Aoxue who rescued Bei Chenling yesterday.

Lin Aoxue clasped her fists and bowed, with a respectful expression:

"Your Highness invites you, no matter what, you are always free."

As soon as these words came out, Bei Chenhe laughed heartily again, Daolin Aoxue cast his temper, and got along very happily. Bei Chenhe took Lin Aoxue out of the palace, and Lin Aoxue was always half a position behind Bei Chenhe to show respect.

Bei Chenhe was quite satisfied with Lin Aoxue's obedience, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The two walked all the way, one after the other, and it happened that the teahouse Bei Chenhe had chosen was actually the Yanyu Building where Lin Aoxue stayed for a long time last night and was driven away by the servant.

Today's gatekeeper happened to be the same person as last night. Although Lin Aoxue changed his clothes, the mask on his face was very conspicuous. When he saw that Lin Aoxue was actually following Bei Chenhe, his face turned green with fright.

Lin Aoxue is not someone who cares about these trivial matters. She doesn't feel happy at all in the light of Bei Chenhe, but she doesn't show her emotions on her face. Although she seems calm at the moment, in fact, she has From the moment she saw Bei Chenhe in the Xuande Hall, the hatred in her heart was raging.

She followed Beichenhe into the Yanyu Building, and the person in charge of the building greeted him in person, and led Beichenhe to the private room with the widest view and the best environment in the building. The room was clean and spotless, and when the two of them were seated, tea was soon served.

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, no wonder people in the world admire wealth and power, and the balance between wealth and power, and power is even more exciting. Holding great power and status, one can act recklessly.

Even though she hated Bei Chenhe in her heart, she had to admire Bei Chenhe's methods. He looked gentle and elegant, like a Confucian scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken, but in fact, behind those seemingly clean hands, he was already dead. A sea of ​​blood, countless karmic debts.

After the two sat down, Bei Chenhe asked Lin Aoxue about things in the military camp. It was all trivial and insignificant. His tone of speech was not condescending. easy to approach.

But Lin Aoxue knew that all this was just an illusion. Bei Chenhe was very good at disguising and strategizing. Otherwise, he would not have laughed and stabbed his so-called best friend in the back with a deadly knife, which would have killed General Zhenguo's collaborating with the enemy. The charge of treason.

Lin Aoxue's heart was like a mirror, and just as she thought, Bei Chenhe invited Lin Aoxue to drink tea, of course, not only because Lin Aoxue saved Bei Chenling, but just a life-saving grace, not worthy of him being a corporal.

More importantly, Lin Aoxue became famous at the border, and he was promoted to a thousand households within a year of joining the army. Although her status is humble at this time, she has infinite possibilities in the future.

Therefore, Bei Chenhe intended to bestow favor on Lin Aoxue and win her over when she had not yet reached the heights of prosperity. This kind of vision was unparalleled.

During the banquet, Lin Aoxue and Bei Chen congratulated each other with each other. On the surface, they had a very pleasant conversation.

Suddenly, the sound of the violin sounded again in the quiet small building, and the tune was elegant and refreshing.

This piano sound and what Lin Aoxue heard last night came from the same person. When she heard it again this time, she was more and more sure that she had heard similar piano music before.

Lin Aoxue pondered carefully with her eyes fixed, and a flash of light flashed in her mind. She suddenly recalled that it was one of the songs played by Yunyan when she went to Yanyulou in Xingbeiguan together with Beichenji.

Lin Aoxue's heart moved. It was also Yanyulou. At this time, who was playing the piano outside, could there be a slight possibility that it was Yunyan?

She squeezed the teacup in her hand tightly, but did not leave the table because of the doubt in her heart. At this time, she had more important things than confirming the identity of the girl.

The song ended outside the house, and there was no second song played. Lin Aoxue felt a little disappointed, but after hearing Beichen He smiled and asked her if she had any arrangements for the festival, Lin Aoxue put down the tea bowl in her hand and replied calmly:

"No."

The smile on Bei Chenhe's face deepened, he stroked his hand and said:

"That's it. On New Year's Eve, the king wants to set up a stage in the mansion. Brother Lin, would you like to take a look?"

New Year's Eve is the most important day of the year. There is a palace banquet in the palace, and there will also be a banquet in the palace of the ministers. In order not to destroy the happy atmosphere of the family reunion of the courtiers, the king often set the palace banquet at noon.

Guo Wencheng is a general-level officer, and this time when he returned to Beijing to report his duties, the emperor raised his position again, so he could attend the palace banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve this year. But Lin Aoxue was only a small family, so naturally he was not qualified to go.

It was very obvious that Bei Chenhe invited her to attend the feast of the prince's house. Lin Aoxue certainly understood what Bei Chenhe meant.

Bei Chenhe is powerful in the capital, one person is more than ten thousand people. If she doesn't go, she doesn't know how to praise her. If she makes Bei Chenhe feel that she is useless and disobedient, then she may face being silenced at any time. risk of obliteration.

Bei Chenhe needed a chess piece. Although the chess piece did not have to be Lin Aoxue, he would never allow a potential piece to fall into someone else's hands. Therefore, once Lin Aoxue refused to listen to him, he would not need to stay with Lin Aoxue. life.

With Bei Chenhe's status in Beijing, he has no scruples, and he doesn't need to cover up. Besides, Lin Aoxue was only a small thousand households. Even if the emperor knew that Bei Chenhe invited Lin Aoxue, he would not be too concerned.

Lin Aoxue knew this very well, so she had no intention of rejecting it. She stood up and bowed deeply to Beichen, describing her sincerity and sincerity:

"Thanks to the prince's love, I will visit you on time."

Bei Chenhe was very satisfied with Lin Aoxue's knowledge and interest, and after chatting with him for a while, he said that there are still important things in the house, so he should go first. Lin Aoxue sent Bei Chenhe away, and went back upstairs. This time, the servant did not block her way, nor did she ask her for invitations or badges.

Lin Aoxue came to the second floor and found the piano platform, but when people went to the empty building, she still couldn't see the person who played the piano before.

She turned around and asked the servant standing beside her:

"Who was the one who played the piano here before?"

The servant just brought tea to the private room. He had seen Lin Aoxue negotiating with Bei Chenhe. Although Lin Aoxue was still wearing ordinary military uniforms, he did not dare to offend him, so he replied respectfully:

"The girl who just played the piano just came here last month and is called Yunyan."

Lin Aoxue was shocked, and a look of consternation flashed on her face for a moment, but soon, she suppressed the shock, nodded expressionlessly, and asked if Yunyan would still come today, the little servant Answering no, she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left the Yanyu Building.

After coming out of Yanyu Building, Lin Aoxue's mood was very complicated. She didn't expect that the qin music she accidentally heard was really written by Yunyan. If at this time she still doesn't understand that there is an extremely powerful force behind Yunyan, then she is a complete fool.

When Yunyan left the North, she once told Lin Aoxue that because the end of the year was approaching, she needed to go back to Beijing. At that time, Lin Aoxue had some guesses about Yunyan's identity.

When she was in the north, Yunyan was really too special among the many Qin girls. No brothel girl could come out of the dust like her. She was calm and free in the wind and dust. No one dared to pursue it.

Now that she is back in the capital, she can even enter the Yanyu Building in the capital. It can be seen that behind Yunyan, there is a powerful person who can cover the sky with one hand.

If so, Lin Aoxue would be able to figure out what Yunyan told her at the beginning that she was sent to Yanyulou by her own father. At the same time, she also understands why Yunyan is so versatile.

The Yanyu Tower in Beijing really has something to do with the Yanyu Tower in the north. Lin Aoxue guessed in his heart that maybe Yunyan's father sent his own daughter to the powerful person in order to curry favor with the powerful person in Beijing. dispatch.

This kind of behavior is really a great harm to Yunyan.

Even though Yunyan was appreciated by the people behind her with her own efforts and gained a certain status, her reputation was completely damaged. She was pushed into this abyss by her own close relatives. Compared with Lin Aoxue, she was even more unfortunate.

Come to think of it, the reason why she would go to the North Territory, Lin Aoxue also had a scruple in her heart. It is easy to get news in a dusty place like Broth, she is the eyes and ears of the people behind her, guarding in a bitter and cold place like the North Territory. It's hard to get away from wasting youth in vain.

It is no wonder that loneliness and sadness are often hidden in Yunyan's peaceful eyes, but she is always silent, not talking to others, not sharing her thoughts with others. Even Lin Aoxue couldn't hear a word of resentment from her mouth.

At first, Lin Aoxue didn't understand, but now she can see clearly. While she was sighing in her heart, she was also extremely heartbroken.

What made her feel distressed the most was that Yun Yan was in so much pain, yet she treated her with incomparable tenderness, and at the same time, she also saved her.

She wanted to see Yunyan, and this feeling was very urgent, so for the next two days, Lin Aoxue came to Yanyu Building every day, but she never got the chance to see it. It was not until she asked the servant in front of the building that she heard that Yunyan has been there for the past few days. If you have something to do, it is estimated that it will not come a few years ago.

Lin Aoxue was extremely frustrated, so she had to return to the inn dejectedly, waiting for the New Year to see if she could have a chance to meet Yunyan.

When Guo Wencheng returned to the old Guo's house this time, he knelt outside the gate for two hours before finally successfully getting his father's forgiveness and letting him enter the house again.

Although his family criticized him for returning to the North after the new year, he no longer restricted his movements. The old father sighed and told him to be more careful at the border in the future. In wars, it is the most important thing to take care of yourself. .

Guo Wencheng responded, and when he saw the old father said a few words, his eyes were red. He couldn't restrain the turmoil in his heart, and his eyes were red.

The smell of middle-aged in Beijing is very strong. Some people set off firecrackers on the street, and among the crackling sounds, laughter, singing and dancing, shadows and shadows. Guo Wencheng took care of the house, and went to the inn again to invite Lin Aoxue to the old Guo's house to celebrate the New Year.

Although Lin Aoxue was moved by this, she had made arrangements in advance, so she had to decline Guo Wencheng's invitation. She did not explicitly say that she was going to the Prince's Mansion, but only said that the arrangement had been made on New Year's Eve, and Guo Wencheng did not ask any further questions, so she let her go. Continue to stay at the inn.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Aoxue was invited to the Prince's Mansion at night. The housekeeper waited at the door ahead of time. Seeing Lin Aoxue coming, he led her inside.

The banquet in the mansion had already been set up, besides Lin Aoxue, Bei Chenhe also hosted some high-ranking officials in Beijing. To Lin Aoxue's surprise, the county owner Bei Chenling was also sitting alone in the banquet, and there was no male guest beside her.

Seeing Lin Aoxue coming, Bei Chenling showed a faint smile on her face and said to her:

"Lin Qianhu, stay safe."

Lin Aoxue pretended to be surprised, opened her mouth slightly, stunned for a moment, and then leaned over and bowed:

"I don't know that it was His Royal Highness the county lord in the carriage that day. I have been offended many times before, and I hope the county lord is magnanimous."

A look of disappointment flashed in Bei Chenling's eyes, and he only felt that Lin Aoxue was no different from the usual petty officials in the Prince's Palace of the Flattering Sect. She put away the smile on her face, described her indifferent expression, and stopped talking to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue didn't look at her for much longer, Bei Chenhe motioned her to take a seat, and clapped her hands to let the servants in the house call for the troupe he had prepared earlier.

The stage has been set up in the courtyard, and the sound of ding ding dong rang. The actors in colorful costumes began to perform. The actors have a solid foundation and mellow singing. Watching together, the atmosphere in the palace is quite lively.

During the banquet, Bei Chenhe chatted with the officials again, while Lin Aoxue stayed quietly in the corner. Bei Chenhe invited her here for a banquet, which was a great honor for her, and she didn't need to look after her from time to time. When a scene was about to end, someone came to report and said:

"My lord, Miss Yunyan is here."

Lin Aoxue's expression was startled, and she quickly covered up her surprise, but heard Bei Chenhe say with a smile:

"Okay, after this play is over, I will ask Miss Yunyan to play two pieces. This king has not heard Miss Yunyan's piano music for a long time."

Lin Aoxue sat silently, poured a glass of sake, and played with the glass in his hand. When Bei Chenling raised her head inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye, but seeing Lin Aoxue's calm expression and not keen on chatting with the guests, she became a little puzzled.

Not long after, after a play was finished, the actors stepped down in an orderly manner. After a long absence, Lin Aoxue finally saw Yunyan again.

But seeing this time, Yunyan was wearing a long red dress and light makeup. In her beauty, she exuded an elegant charm of a mature woman. With her gestures, she was charming and stunning.

When she didn't apply Fendai, she was outstanding, and now Yunyan, who is deliberately dressed up, is even more beautiful.

Holding a fine-quality guqin in her arms, her long skirt brushed the floor, and she walked onto the stage. Many high-ranking officials in the audience couldn't help holding their breath. There will be a lot of people unconsciously gaffe.

Lin Aoxue sat in the corner and looked at the stage from a distance. She couldn't help but be amazed by Yunyan's brand-new appearance. Her black pupils reflected the elegant appearance of Yunyan's red dress, and that little red glow smeared out, giving Lin Aoxue a momentary feeling. Lost.

After a while, Lin Aoxue withdrew his gaze, calmed down, lowered his eyes, and dared not look any further. She took a sip of the wine in her glass, and couldn't help sighing that Yun Yan was truly magnificent, a rare graceful gesture in the world.

The piano sounded, as usual, amazing.

A performer volunteered to dance the sword to the sound of the piano, and Beichen He readily agreed.

All the guests were immersed in the sound of the piano, as well as in the graceful gesture of the sword dancer.

The actor paced in front of the guests and got closer to the guest seats. Suddenly, the sword in her hand trembled, breaking the rhythm of the rhythm. People also stepped forward, turning into a gust of wind, and stabbed the sword in her hand towards Bei Chenhe. !

When the incident happened suddenly, all the guests were in shock, unable to recover, and the guards in the palace were even more out of reach. Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce Bei Chenhe's chest, a shuttle of afterimage shot with a screeching sound. Hit the actor's wrist.

The actor was in pain, and the sword in his hand fell with a trembling, and what stuck on her wrist and came out through the bones was actually a bamboo chopstick.

But she didn't give up, she quickly pulled out the hairpin on her head with the other hand, her eyes were scarlet, full of hatred, and she swung the hairpin down toward Beichenhe's throat with all her strength, about to take Beichenhe's life.

Bei Chenhe didn't know martial arts, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only watch the sharp hairpin getting closer and closer to his own.

At this time, Lin Aoxue used the chopsticks to fly out for a short time to break the actor's move, and she had already deceived him. She grabbed Bei Chenhe's shoulder and dragged him back quickly. At the same time, she reached out and intercepted the actor's blow.

With a soft pop, the hairpin penetrated Lin Aoxue's palm, and the blood smeared, but she did not change her face, so she grabbed the actor's wrist and broke it with force, only to hear a crackling sound, the actor's hand bones cracked, she Screaming and screaming in pain.

Lin Aoxue shot at lightning speed and sealed the acupuncture point of the actor. The palace guards also arrived at this time and grabbed the actor backhand to prevent her from hurting people again.

But before Bei Chenhe could speak for interrogation, the actor bit the poison sac hidden in his teeth, rolled his eyes, died cleanly, and took away the reason for her violent murder.

The captain of the guard looked panicked, and knelt down to plead guilty:

"My **** is late, please ask the lord to punish him!"

Although Bei Chenhe was a little frightened, he was someone who stood at the top of the power. He quickly adjusted his state, suppressed his panic, waved his hand to the guards to take the body down first, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

At the end, he turned his head to look at Lin Aoxue, saw that her right hand was still in a hairpin, dripping with blood, and said loudly:

"Please come and see Lin Qianhu's injuries!"

The servants in the mansion hurried to find the doctor, and all the guests in the hall were still in shock. Bei Chenhe glanced at the guests present, with a helpless expression on his face, and said:

"Today there is a change in the palace, which shocked everyone and failed to enjoy it. It is the fault of this king."

Bei Chenhe issued an order to evict guests, and the ministers who dared to say that Bei Chenhe was wrong, they all resigned with a wink.

On the piano platform in the courtyard, Yunyan had retreated to the ground beside the piano, bowed her head and knelt down, her downcast eyes contained a very complicated color, ranging from shock, panic, surprise and surprise.

In any case, she never thought that she would see Lin Aoxue in the capital, and she never thought that it would be at the feast of the Prince's Mansion.

Apart from the series of surprises, there was still a trace of resentment and helplessness in her heart. Just now, she saw that Lin Aoxue was injured.

This person is always like this, regardless of her own body, she always abandons herself to save others, which is too stupid and too kind.

There was a doctor in the palace, and the old doctor came very quickly. He skillfully pulled out the hairpin that pierced through the flesh for Lin Aoxue, then carefully bandaged the wound, told Lin Aoxue not to touch the water, and then retreated .

After the doctor left, Bei Chenhe asked Lin Aoxue that her hand was injured and that it would be inconvenient to stay at the palace today. Lin Aoxue had a smile on her face and replied:

"I'm hurting my hand, but it's not bad for my legs and feet, so I won't bother the lord more, but..."

Lin Aoxue said half of her words, but she stopped.

"Just what?"

Bei Chenhe motioned for her to finish speaking.

Lin Aoxue squinted at Yun Yan who was still lying on the ground on the piano platform, her heart trembled, and she continued:

"It's just that Miss Yunyan's good piano song was interrupted for no reason. I still want to hear Miss Yunyan play this song."

Bei Chenhe obviously didn't expect Lin Aoxue to make such a request, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said:

"I didn't expect that Brother Lin was still someone who knew the rhythm. Well, I'll ask Miss Yunyan to replay the song you just played."

Yunyan got up and sat back in front of the piano. She stroked the piano, but she subconsciously glanced at Lin Aoxue from the corner of her eyes, seeing that although the latter tilted her head, her eyes flowed from the corner of her eyes, meeting Yunyan's in the air. And in an instant away, if inadvertently.

The corner of Yunyan's lips gently lifted a soft arc, making her more beautiful and moving.

The sound of the piano sounded again, Yunyan's piano skills were not affected by the sudden episode just now, and it was still fascinating.

From the moment when the actor just made a sudden move to kill Bei Chenhe and Lin Aoxue fought bravely, Bei Chenling became a little distracted.

All the officials retired, and only Bei Chenling and a group of guards were left in the arena. She first went to ask whether Bei Chenhe was injured, and then set her eyes on Lin Aoxue. As the distance got closer, she could clearly see the outline of Lin Aoxue's side face, and felt that this cold and hard face was somewhat similar to an old friend.

There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and suddenly she took the initiative to speak to Lin Aoxue:

"I don't know why Lin Qianhu joined the army? With Qianhu's skills, if he takes the martial arts exam in Beijing, he must be the champion of martial arts.

Lin Aoxue was surprised that Bei Chenling took the initiative to talk to her. She took her eyes away from the piano platform and turned to look at Bei Chenling.

Compared with more than ten years ago, the latter's appearance has changed greatly. It has faded away from the youth, showing a bit of maturity, and has the grace of being in a high position all the year round. It is far from ordinary girls who can compare with it. of.

Lin Aoxue suppressed the anger and hatred in her heart, and did not show any resentment. She did not hide it. She brought the things written on her file one by one, saying that she lived in Queyang. Later, the barbarians slaughtered the village. She was lucky. He escaped, but his face was burned by the fire.

Later, she talked about going to Beijing to look for relatives, but her distant relative died of illness, and her family moved away, and she did not know where to go.

"Xia Xia used to beg on the streets of the capital for three years, and almost died in the downtown area in the west. Later, I had a chance to meet Master Hongming, so I followed the Master to practice in the temple."

Even if she didn't say anything about these things, Bei Chenhe would definitely send someone to investigate, she didn't need to hide it at all.

Speaking of this, Bei Chenling asked her if all of her martial arts were practiced at that time, and Lin Aoxue said "yes" with an expressionless face.

After hearing Lin Aoxue's words, Bei Chenling's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. He knew that he was not the same person, but he couldn't restrain himself from having unspeakable expectations for all the people and things that were similar to him. In the end, he would definitely reap the rewards again and again. Disappointed.

She didn't ask Lin Aoxue anything, but just sat alone with her arms on the table, staring at the flowers and plants in the yard in a daze.

Qin Yin didn't know when to stop, Yunyan got up and retire, Bei Chenhe didn't hold back, and his family sent Yunyan out. After Yunyan left, Lin Aoxue didn't stay in the palace for too long. She withdrew from the palace on the grounds that it was getting late.

After leaving the Prince Zong's mansion, Lin Aoxue first glanced around outside the mansion, but she didn't see Yunyan, she felt a little disappointed, but soon, she cheered up again, and went to Yanyu Tower at a very fast pace.

Before reaching the Yanyu Building, she took three steps and took two steps to go over and asked the servant girl Yunyan to be there.

The servant recognized her and didn't dare to drive people away as usual, but answered Lin Aoxue's question respectfully:

"Miss Yunyan went to the Prince Zong's mansion today, so she probably won't go back here."

Lin Aoxue didn't expect such a result, couldn't she see Yunyan today?

The loss in her heart deepened, Lin Aoxue walked down the steps in front of Yanyu Building, her brows furrowed tightly, even though her face was still stern, it was difficult to hide the regret and sadness in her eyes.

She was walking aimlessly on the street. It was New Year's Eve, and it was a new year after a child. There were very few people on the street, and every household was closing their doors and gathering to keep the year old. Although they were still brightly decorated, they seemed even more deserted.

Beijing is not as cold as the north, but at night the temperature is still very low, and the breath is full of white heat. Lin Aoxue was pacing back and forth on the street in front of Yanyu Building. She didn't dare to go too far, thinking that maybe she was walking too fast, but she missed it.

So she plans to wait here first. If she really can't see Yunyan until midnight, she can only say that maybe it's not enough fate.

She waited for a long time until the night became darker, as if everything was shrouded in darkness. When there was no end to the wait, there was no end, and a soft and gentle female voice finally sounded behind her:

"It's dewy in the middle of the night, and the son doesn't go back to the mansion to rest, but who is he waiting for?"

Lin Aoxue's back stood up, as if she froze. She was silent for a while, then slowly turned around, her lips were pursed, her face was solemn, but the two hands behind her were twisted together, pulling five fingers. All changed colors:

"I'm waiting for you."

She's rare, and extremely frank.
