In the 19th year of Yongxi, King Zhennan was killed for treason. His daughter, Princess Yue, died of miscarriage.

This day, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital. Xiao Jin had just returned from the court and heard the news of Rong Benhui, and replied expressionlessly, "Okay, I understand."

Mei'er sat blankly on the stone steps outside the hall. When she heard that Yue died in vain like herself in her previous life, she did not feel any pleasure in revenge, but instead felt desolate in her heart.

She remembered the aggressive momentum of Yue's forced marriage in her previous life, and kept saying that she had fallen in love with Xiao Mu in her early years, but she took the lead and intercepted him. She didn't believe it at all, because Xiao Mu had always been infatuated with her back then, so she was passed on to him after she was defeated by Xiao Jin. In the years after her marriage with Xiao Mu, although he knew that the person she loved was not him, he treated her very well, but for the sake of the throne, he was still able to make up his mind and poison her.

Now that time has changed, whether she was in her previous life or the Yue family now, I think they are just victims of the imperial power struggle. The imperial family is a ruthless place, weighing the gains and losses of interests. The point of love and affection has always been the most insignificant weight in the balance of weighing.

She looked back at the magnificent Jin King Palace. So, in this life, will she still follow the footsteps of her previous life?

Only Xiao Jin and Rong Ben were left in the inner hall, and Xiao Jin sat motionlessly, as if thinking about a distant thought.

Rong Ben tentatively advised: "The prince is repaid with great revenge, and it is time to express his feelings."

Xiao Jin's face was cold, "The enemy who harmed her back then was more than one Yue family."

"Don't worry, let's take your time."

Xiao Jin said fiercely, "I will let the people who persecuted her back then pay their blood debts. At that time, she could have a clear mind if she had spirit in heaven, but..."

But I wonder if she will forgive me if she has the spirit in heaven.

Xiao Jin sighed secretly and swallowed the words he had not said. Sometimes, a single thought was a lifelong regret.

Xiao Jin did not go out in the afternoon and was stuck in the hall. After a while, Su Wan came to the Jin King's Hall.

The King of Jin Palace is Xiao Jin's bedroom. Xiao Jin is not happy to enter and exit at will. Even the Princess of Jin Su Wan rarely set foot. Therefore, Mei'er has never seen Su Wan come during the period when she avoids disaster in the King of Jin Palace.

Mei'er was chatting with the little girls in the corridor. When she saw Su Wan, everyone saluted and greeted each other.

Su Wan spared everyone's courtesy and asked, "Can the prince be there?"

Su Wan was covered in plain clothes and had a little red and swollen eyes. She obviously had just returned from the Funeral of Prince Mu's Mansion for Yue's family.

King Zhennan was defeated by Su Wan's good husband Xiao Jin. Yue's arrogant family, and Su Wan obviously disliked her very much. Mei'er was extremely impressed when she saw her like this. How could she really cry in front of the Yue family's coffin?

The girls respectfully replied to Su Wan that Xiao Jin was there. Su Wan was about to step into the hall when she accidentally caught Mei'er and stopped and asked, "Are you here too?"

The tone of calm clouds and gentle wind.

They grew up together in the previous life. Mei'er knew Su Wan so well, and her "bright clouds and winds"

The mixed thoughts are all over the place.

In the last life, when she learned that Xiao Jin was obsessed with Su Wan, she could endure the pain and do not let them do it. In this life, she was even more disdainful to fight with her. Meier felt that love was about pure love and my wishes, cherishing each other, only me in your heart, and only you in my heart, and I could not get any impurities.

It’s boring to fight for a man with other women by making tricks!

Mei'er replied frankly: "A few days ago, I didn't want to offend Concubine Zhou, and the prince punished me to be a servant here."

Su Wan's phoenix eyes moved slightly, and she didn't ask any more questions and entered the inner hall.

When Rong Ben saw Su Wan coming in and greeting her, he immediately stepped down.

There were only two people left in the room, and Xiao Jin asked expressionlessly: "Have you gone to Prince Mu's Mansion?"

"I just returned from Prince Mu's mansion. Prince Mu suddenly passed away. As Princess Jin, I should go to pay my condolences."

Xiao Jin and former Su Wan always look gentle and virtuous.

Xiao Jin didn't tell the joy and anger on his face and stopped talking.

"Prince." Su Wan called out softly. Seeing that Xiao Jin was still motionless, she stepped forward slowly, sat on the edge of the collapse and leaned on Xiao Jin's knees. She held Xiao Jin's hand with both hands and murmured: "Since my cousin passed away, the prince has been unable to let go, and now it should be..."

"Don't mention her!" Xiao Jin interrupted Su Wan coldly.

Su Wan raised her head and asked, "Are the prince still upset about what happened back then?"

Xiao Jin waved his hand and sighed, "Don't mention the matter back then."

Su Wan's eyes were covered with tears, and she lay on Xiao Jin's knees and looked up at him pitifully and said, "Does the prince blame me?"

Xiao Jin sighed secretly and helped Su Wan up, "I didn't blame you, it's her, no, it's me... Forget it, don't mention these again."

Su Wan wiped away her tears and said softly: "I have nothing to ask for, I only hope that the prince can express my feelings."

Xiao Jin nodded, "I know your intention." He lowered his head and looked at Su Wan and asked, "I haven't taken time to see you for a while. Are you feeling better?"

Su Wan smiled sweetly, "I'm worried about the prince. I've been much better if I don't cough up at night recently." After that, I couldn't help but shed two tears and choked up, "My life is like duckweed. I have lost my parents since I was a child. I have been living under someone's roof for several years. In such a huge prime minister's house, I have no support and live a cautious life. Fortunately, the prince doesn't dislike it, so I have a stable place."

Xiao Jin comforted, "You are not in good health, don't think too much. Someone gave me some good wild ginseng a few days ago. I'll send you some to you later. Please take care of your health. Please send me any need."

Su Wan looked at Xiao Jin affectionately, "Your Majesty knows what I really need?"

Xiao Jin patted Su Wan's shoulder-cutting and stopped talking.

"I..." Su Wan looked at Xiao Jin's expression, twitched the corners of her mouth, swallowed the words she had not said, and asked with a gentle smile: "I heard that the prince has transferred Miss Mei'er here."

Xiao Jin paused uneasyly, and a little warmth finally appeared on his cold face, and he replied: "Well, she, this girl is frivolous. She had a fuss with Miao Shu a few days ago. Do you know Miao Shu's temper? I am the same, and I also pity her a weak woman..."

Su Wan covered Xiao Jin's lips with a delicate jade hand and said softly: "I see this girl is pretty good. Why not let me, the princess, take her rightfully to take her as a concubine?"

Xiao Jin took her hand away and stammered, "Forget it, I don't have that intention."

Su Wan smiled and advised: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Not to mention the prince, even a wealthy family with a strong family still has a concubine. The prince is so quiet around him. If you know, you don't like women, and if you don't know, you will definitely be accusing me of me behind your back."

"What are you slandering?"

"I'm jealous and can't tolerate others."

Xiao Jin laughed, "Don't care about other people saying these bastards."

Su Wan held Xiao Jin's bee waist with her little hand and said coquettishly: "I am worried about this, and I hope the prince can be happy. A graceful lady is a gentleman. It is very common for the prince to have a compassionate heart. If I really want to that girl, I will not be too lonely on weekdays."

At the end of his speech, Su Wan's slow tone even had a bit of sadness and choking sound.

Xiao Jin looked at Su Wan with apologies and said, "In recent years, there have been strong enemies in the Southern Wei Dynasty, and there are traitorous concubines in the government. They are internal and external troubles. Although I am no longer a crown prince, it is related to the welfare of the people in the world. I cannot stand by and stay out of the matter. I am busy with government affairs, but I often neglect you. Fortunately, you are well-educated and can understand me everywhere. I am unwilling to leave you when I was demoted as the prince and left to the northern border. I will remember this friendship in my heart."

Seeing that Xiao Jin knew his thoughts but he was talking about him, Su Wan felt sad, but smiled gently on her face, staring at Xiao Jin affectionately and said, "The husband and wife are one, but the prince said this and was separated from me."

Xiao Jin was about to explain, but Su Wan took his hand and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't need to explain to me anymore. I understand. Today is a good day for my cousin to avenge his great revenge. I have already ordered someone to set up dinner in Qixia Palace. Please go with me."

Xiao Jin nodded. Su Wan happily pulled Xiao Jin out of the main hall and headed towards Qixia Hall.

The sun sets, and there is only a trace of setting sun, and the light shines so hard that people can't open their eyes.

Mei'er turned her face away and refused to look at the beautiful couple who were gradually drifting away, but she felt sad for no reason.

She turned around and entered the main hall and lay in a small room outside where she had lived for the past few days. Her mind was filled with the shadows of Xiao Jin and Su Wan holding hands. She refused to think about them, but tears gushed out like water breaking through the dam.

It was late at night and Xiao Jin did not return. During the days when she hid in the King of Jin's Palace, Xiao Jin would come back every day around the hour of Hai, but he had never stayed elsewhere.

This gave Mei'er an illusion of deceiving herself, that he is hers.

This illusion was terrible. Before she knew it, she pulled her into the vortex of obsessed with him. She suddenly woke up and felt a heart-wrenching like a loss in pain.

I will leave sooner or later! Mei'er kept reminding herself not to go to the footsteps of her previous life, forget Xiao Jin, and leave Xiao Jin! She got up, wrapped herself in her coat and left the main hall.

The cold wind was so cold that she returned to her own cottage in the west courtyard. In the middle of winter, the room was as cold as an ice cellar. All the items had been smashed by Zhou Miaoshu, and even the quilt was torn in half.

My body was cold and my heart was even colder. Mei'er curled up on the small kang, wrapped in a torn quilt, and tears flowed out in a daze, erasing layer after layer, as if she would never be able to wipe it clean.
