The wind

Li Ningsu, who lives in the Jiang Mansion in Jinling, has been having nightmares for more than a month.

In her dreams, she could always see someone standing in front of her, and then dying in an extremely miserable way in an instant, with his abdomen dismembered, his head divided, and blood flowing like a river, as if he had been tortured by a car, but he never waited for him every time. Seeing clearly, only the sound of moans and groans one after another was left in my ears.

Even in the daytime, Li Ningsu also felt that kind of inexplicable wailing in her ears, but every time she asked the maid beside her, she said that she had never heard it.Li Ningsu, who was already shy, was a little mentally weak, and didn't think about eating.

But tonight, the difference from the past is that the same dream, the same bones are not hidden.It's just that the man turned his head back, and when he looked at Li Ningsu, blood dripped from his eyes -- that man was holding the face of his own husband, Jiang Lan!

"Ah! Ah!" Li Ningsu couldn't stand it any longer when her limbs were about to separate, her chest was choked with depression, she screamed and shouted, and suddenly realized that it was still the dream demon disturbing her heart.

Jiang Xi, who was beside him, woke up immediately. He hurriedly got out of bed and lit the lamp, anxiously asking, "Su'er, how are you doing, Su'er?"

Under the lamp, Li Ningsu's face was pale, her eyes were wide open, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, her whole body was trembling, and she was breathing heavily. The scene in the dream was still vivid, and her fear had not subsided. Just protect the lower abdomen.

"It's nothing, Su'er, it's nothing. I'm here as your husband. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Li Ningsu was already showing some feelings, and Jiang Xie slowly helped her up and leaned against the side, and found another pillow Putting it behind her, she realized that Li Ningsu's underwear was completely soaked in sweat.So Jiang Shou hurriedly called the servant girl outside the door to come in and change her clothes.

After a group of maidservants came in, Jiang Xi gave some instructions, and seemed to be affected by the oppressive atmosphere in the room, he pulled his neckline, put on a coat, and went out to breathe.

When Jiang Xie went to the courtyard on the other side, before he could stand still, a man who looked like a servant took a few steps forward, turned his eyes around a few times, and whispered vigilantly: "Master, there is another madness over there. "

Due to the fact that Li Ningsu has become more noisy at night recently, and tried all the decoctions and medicines, but they didn't work, Jiang Xi just rushed back from Changzhou. The daily affairs are complicated, and he is a little bit more than he wants, and he wakes up in the middle of the night. Impatient: "There are so many ways to govern people, why don't you want to come up with one?"

"Master, you said it before..." The young man was hesitant, seeing his master's expression was very bad, he didn't know whether he should say the rest of his words, "That person is...Second Young Master's..."

"Is there no way to tell him to shut up?" Jiang Chen's voice was stern, and he clenched his fist and coughed to his lips, "If you know it, go down and do it quickly. Do you need me to teach you the rules?"

The boy naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so he obediently agreed, and walked away quickly.

The night was dark, and Shuangmin was hard to retreat. Jiang Lan turned around and watched the maidservants who were coming in and out over there, and the gully between his eyebrows was getting deeper.

……

Not long after Li Zhongnan gifted the small courtyard to Xiao Zhouheng, he moved in.

Afterwards, Li Zhongnan also brought Yi and Zhuo Zhuo over. The horse from Changzhou, Li Zhongnan put it in Li's residence and gave it a new name—Xingchi.

Hua Cong understood, even if he raised his whip, he would be too late.

I have to admit that Li Zhongnan is really interesting.

Since living in that small courtyard, Xiao Zhouheng couldn't help sighing again for Li Zhongnan's excellent taste. The small courtyard he chose was secluded and secluded, far away from the hustle and bustle of Jinling City, making Xiao Zhouheng For no reason, there was an illusion that the years were peaceful.

But that was an illusion after all.

After the previous two incidents, Xiao Zhouheng faintly felt that a situation had been set up somewhere, and there was no doubt that it was some kind of targeting of the Jinling Li family on the bright side.

Xiao Zhouheng still has no conclusion on whether the person who made this arrangement is the clock and never returns, but he feels that it is very possible.

Everyone is waiting for that trigger point.

Although Xiao Zhouheng didn't know what method Li Zhongnan used to invite Yu Shenghan out of the mountain, and after discussing something with that person later, he was able to persuade Yu Shenghan to return to the Holy Majesty's side.In short, when Li Zhongnan came back with a wound on his forehead that day, Xiao Zhouheng's heart shrank again and again.

Within a few days, news came from the capital that the officials from the Ministry of Officials reported that the supervisor wanted to tell his distant relatives to enter the Yushitai, but he had run into trouble at Li Yanyun, the prime minister of the Yushi, and the supervisor was furious. Together with several other household officials, they faked a copy of Li Yanqing's acceptance of bribes to threaten Li Yanyun, but they didn't know what went wrong in it, so they passed it on to the Holy Majesty.

The few people who had no way out now spread rumors to slander Li Yanqing in the Chaozhongfang, in a delusion to make the three of them become tigers.So there was such an incident of being deceived by traitors to deceive the world lord and frame the loyal ministers of the court.Because the rumors were heard far and wide, and the traitors were confused, all the officials who had been trapped by the thieves turned their backs on the country and followed the hypocrisy.

However, the names of Zhong Bugui and Mu Wang Qinzhao were not mentioned at all.

So Li Yanqing's so-called corruption incident ended with such a farce.

The Li family survived the catastrophe safely, but who would have thought that the price behind it would be the death of Han Tieyi and Li Yunhong.

Xiao Zhouheng felt very uncomfortable. Firstly, it was really difficult to accept the fact that his best friend had passed away, and secondly, he felt helpless at this ridiculous explanation.

Let’s go back to Jinling’s detailed investigation, according to Tang Chang’s letter, on the list provided by Xiao Zhouheng, the little singer named Yin Huaman is quite suspicious, not only because of his unknown origin His status, coupled with his frequent visits to the gatherings of various officials in the Jiangning Mansion, and the presence of several rich masters, naturally included Ding Zhongchou who was so bewildered.

It is not difficult to imagine that Xiao Chang is also a master with means, so he took advantage of the situation and attracted the attention of Xiao Zhouheng and Tang Chang.

After all, on the day when Xiao Zhouheng went to Shiyanmei, Yin Huaman specially sang her own song Partridge Sky. Now that I think about it, Xiao Zhouheng felt quite interesting.

Could it be that this is another temptation to invite you into the urn?

In addition, what is even more worth mentioning is that after Xiao Zhouheng returned to Jinling this time, he found that Yin Jiuchu, Huangfu Chu, Jiang Ruli and Ding Zhongchou were not in the city, including Yu who was wandering on the street all day. Bo Cheng didn't know where he went.

Something changed quietly, just inadvertently.

……

Li Zhongnan came to this small courtyard every three days, and stayed for a whole day, either watching the clouds and the moon with Xiao Zhouheng, talking about the sea, or composing poems and rhymes with him, copying a post together.However, he did not visit today, because the Jiang residence hosted a banquet and invited him and the sixth young master Li Yunyi to go.

So Xiao Zhouheng packed up and went to bed early.

However, the south wind was strong at night, the windows couldn't hide the rain, and the rain came straight in.The black clouds are like ink, changing every moment, the electric light opens, and the golden snake's eyes shine, the situation is extremely terrifying.Suddenly there were several thunderbolts in Cang Min, shaking the corners of the room trembling.

While responding to the howling wind and rain outside the window, while sandwiching the scorching fans and chaotic words in the house, Xiao Zhouheng finally fell asleep in this room, and was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door one after another in a half-dream and half-awake state.

Xiao Zhouheng frowned and opened his eyes, feeling that the night outside the window was only two o'clock, he turned over in the bed, thinking that the bastard next to the street was coming to stay at his home after being beaten, so he didn't want to get up, so he rushed He looked outside and shouted: "Xiao Zhi'er, it's not convenient to get up at night, you can come back tomorrow."

"Shu Ting, it's me."

A few short words made Xiao Zhouheng wake up in an instant. Shocked, he jumped out of bed, and hurriedly opened the door without putting on his shoes: "Zhong Nan, why are you here?"

Li Zhongnan stood firmly outside the door, and the wind was about to sweep him away. Xiao Zhouheng was really startled by this late-night visit, he realized that Li Zhongnan was completely soaked, his black hair was scattered, Wrapped around his jade-white neck, water droplets trickled down his temples and condensed on his collarbone, forming a pale and frightened face.

Seeing him so lost, Xiao Zhouheng was stunned, and before he could ask, Li Zhongnan hugged him into his arms.

"Zhong Nan?" With the smell of alcohol in his nostrils, Xiao Zhouheng hugged him back and asked in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that someone at the banquet made things difficult for you?"

"It's nothing, I just miss you so much." After Li Zhongnan closed the door with his backhand, he found Xiao Zhouheng's lips and pried open his teeth. Unlike the usual step-by-step process, Li Zhongnan tossed and turned a little impatiently, his arms twitching. Hold Xiao Zhouheng tightly.

Li Zhongnan had nothing dry all over his body, and his skin was a little hot from the cold, Xiao Zhouheng feared that the two of them would catch the cold if they did this again, so after the kiss, he added some soft words to persuade him Only then did Li Zhongnan let go of his hand sullenly, and sat aside, while Rong Xiaozhouheng went to fetch a towel to wipe it for him.

Although Li Zhongnan is taller, the two are of the same size, and neither likes sex, and it is not wrong to change clothes frequently.

"After all, what happened at the banquet?" Xiao Zhouheng paced back, took a clean long gown and put it aside, and then put a big blanket on Li Zhongnan who was rarely in a mess.

The sound of rain outside the window kept hitting the eaves, and the rainwater condensed and flowed down from the tile pits on the roof, as if trying to cover the voices of the two people in the room.

"Speaking of which, it's not about me." Li Zhongnan's face finally regained some blood, and he got some warmth in Xiao Zhouheng's room, so he smiled, "It's just that I have nothing to do at the banquet tonight." When I was with you, when you were not by my side, I realized that you and I really fell in love with each other, even if it rained cats and dogs, we couldn't separate them. I wanted to see you, so I came here."

"Really poor." Xiao Zhouheng blushed, secretly pinched Li Zhongnan's earlobe, and pretended to be angry, "If you get hot, let's see how you have the energy to say such a thing."

Li Zhongnan let Xiao Zhouheng dry his wet hair. He looked up at the man in the middle coat, his eyes met, and he felt cold for a while: "Shu Ting, I don't want to hide it from you. Something happened...tonight my eleventh sister's...child is gone."

The author has something to say: Li Ningsu's pregnancy was first mentioned in Chapter 22.
