In the carriage, the girl clasped her arms tightly on her knees, her head hung low and buried in her knees, silent.

She had been doing this for half a stick of incense.

The man stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her head lightly with his palm, "No one dares to approach my carriage, if you want to cry, cry happily, no one will see you laughing."

Wen Youli shook her head and looked up at him.

Her eye sockets were red and swollen, and her lower lip was branded with deep tooth marks, and when she knew that she wanted to cry, she bit her lip fiercely to force herself not to shed tears.

The little crying bag has become stronger tonight, but for some reason, it is even more distressing.

Rough fingertips caressed the tooth marks on her lower lip.

Gu Jingyan's movements were very light, and he stroked the tooth mark again and again, as if he wanted to smooth out the pain from the tooth mark.

Wen Youli's eyelashes trembled, and after a long time, she muttered in a dumb voice, "Gu Jingyan..."

"

Am I going to die?"

The red and swollen eyes stared at him in a daze, lifeless, and lost his soul.

The girl's shattered appearance made Gu Jingyan's heart throb faintly.

"Don't talk nonsense.

Wen Youli stiffly hooked the corners of her lips, "... I was in pain, all over my body, like I was being torn apart by something. I wanted to pull Xu Zilu out of my heart, but every time I pulled it, it hurt so much, as if I was going to die.

"Then we'll keep it for now, okay?" he reassured gently.

Wen Youli shook her head and asked, "Gu Jingyan, do you want to marry me

?" "What does the lady think?" "

I know that with your power and means, there must be a way to find the real culprit of the Xu family's annihilation." Wen Youli, "As long as you can help me find out the truth about the destruction of the Xu family, I will marry you."

Gu Jingyan narrowed her eyes, pinched Wen Youli's jaw with her fingers, and forced her to look at herself, "Xu Zilu is making it so difficult for you to let go?"

The anger in his eyes was undisguised.

Wen Youli still looked indifferent, and shook her head with gloomy eyes, "I admit that this time I'm using you." However, it is not because I love him that it is difficult to let go of him. It's just to clear up with him and not owe each other.

"I've been in poor health since I was a child, and the doctor said that my body won't live long enough. Since I met Xu Zilu, I have loved to stick to him, and he also knows that I am not in good health, and has taken care of me for ten years.

"Gu Jingyan, it's not so easy to forget a person who has lived in the bottom of my heart for ten years. Wen Youli, "I don't love him anymore, let you help me find out the truth back then, just want to draw a line with him."

Gu Jingyan stared at her for a long time, carefully distinguishing the truth from the falsehood in her words.

"As long as I find out the truth of the year and hand it over to you, you will agree to marry me?"

"Okay. Within three days, he will serve it with his own hands for her husband. "

...

In the dead of night, there is only one place in the capital that is brightly lit.

Dali Temple Prison is a place where people who have committed serious crimes are detained.

Pushing open the iron door of the Dali Temple prison, a damp and fishy smell came to the nostrils, which made people nauseous and disgusting.

Huge rats weave through the cracks of the prison doors, and when they see a dying prisoner, they may gnaw at the carrion for a while.

"Lord Xu, the prisoner is awake.

Xu Zilu closed the book in his hand, "Lead the way."

Xia Ju was splashed with a bucket of salt water, which stung her festering wound and woke her up with a shiver.

As soon as she opened her eyes, a slender rat tail swept across her lips.

"Ah-

" Xu Zilu walked over with his hands in his hands, and there was no joy or anger on his face, "It seems that he still has strength." Chihai, go and get the official's fishbone whip. "

Yes!"

Soon, the fishbone whip was taken, and the slender nails were like fishbones, which could be scraped off a layer of flesh if they were whipped on a person's body.

"No... Don't..."Xia Ju shook her head frantically, her voice choked and trembled, "My lord, I'll move! I'll do anything!"

Xu Zilu clenched the fishbone whip hard.

As long as he thought of the person in front of him drugging Youli, he couldn't control the thought of slashing her with a thousand knives.

"Tell me everything you know.

Xia Ju didn't dare to slack off in order to save her life, and explained all the causes and consequences of Wei Qingqi's design to drug Wen Youli.

"My lady, my lady is not the only one who harmed Miss Wen, last time she asked Wen Niangzi to pretend to be a dancing girl to go to the Shoufu Mansion to dance, in fact, it was on purpose..."

Xu Zilu's hand holding the fishbone whip trembled uncontrollably.

"Also... Also, when Miss Wen first entered Beijing, my lady deliberately provoked Wei Zixuan to provoke Miss Wen, and shouted that all the noble girls in the academy would isolate and snub Miss Wen together!"

Xu Zilu suddenly wanted to laugh.

laughing at yourself for being stupid, laughing at yourself for being calculated to such a point by a woman.

He should have seen it a long time ago, and he should have woken up a long time ago.

It was he who was blindfolded by the words "life-saving benefactor", thinking that Wei Qingqian saved him by kindness when he was young, and he would be gentle and kind in this life, and would not harm people's hearts.

"My lord..."

Xu Zilu looked at Xia Ju with scarlet eyes.

Xia Ju shuddered fiercely, her heart was crossed, and she was ready to gamble, "The slave maid still has something to say to the adult, please let the adult spare the slave maid's life for the sake of the slave and maid's honesty after listening to it..."Xu

Zilu said in a hoarse voice, "... You said

," Xia Ju took a deep breath and trembled and moved her lips, "Actually, the queen mother Xuanwen entered the palace that day, and it was also my mother-in-law who pouted her." After Miss Wen left the palace, I followed my lady carefully and followed us until the banquet building..."

"That day, Mrs. Wen ate wine, spit out the truth after drinking, and said something. "

What did you say?"

she said... She was the one who saved you back then, and she wasn't my lady at all, Miss Wen... In fact, it is your savior. It was when my lady heard this that she wanted to use the begging banquet to drug Miss Wen, so that she would make a fool of herself in public, her reputation would be ruined, and she would have no marriage with you-"

...

After the begging festival, it rained for three days.

In the past three days, Xu Zilu will knock on the door of the Wen Mansion, and then he will be blown away by Xiaotang's bad face.

Xiaotang couldn't see that her young lady was wronged, and besides, she was an anxious person, and when Xu Zilu left, she didn't know how mean and ugly the scolding was.

Despite this, Xu Zilu still went down to the court and waited at the gate of the Wen Mansion, just to see Wen Youli.

On this day, it rained heavily in Beijing, and the thunder was deafening.

Xu Zilu did not hold an umbrella, and knocked on the door of the Wen Mansion by himself.

"Squeak-"

The door of the house opened, and Xiaotang, who was leaving, didn't come out, and a blue oil-paper umbrella was opened.

The jade-handled umbrella bone was held in the palm of the girl's hand, and the beaded raindrops splashed her skirt.

The cold scent of pear blossoms spreads along the rain.

Xu Zilu slowly raised his head.

He had not slept for three days, his eyes were scarlet, bloodshot all over his eyes, and his jaw had grown a cyan beard, and he was haggard and embarrassed.

When he saw the face that he thought about day and night, Xu Zilu couldn't help but wet his eyes.

His legs trembled and he staggered to the girl, kneeling in the cold rain.

"Young... Young pear..."

Xu Zilu cried out in a hoarse voice, raised his head, and didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his wet face.

He carefully clenched the hem of her skirt, "I was wrong, it was Brother Zilu who was wrong..."

, the girl lowered her eyes expressionlessly, bent down and pulled the hem of her skirt from his hand, "Lord Xu, please respect yourself." Youli will marry Gu Shoufu next month, and when the time comes, I hope that Lord Xu will appreciate the light and come to have a glass of wedding wine. "
