The West Courtyard is a separate courtyard.

Chu Lu'e fiddled with a small bronze mirror at the head of the bed and looked at her sister's residence novelly.

Xu Yan opened the window.

Plum blossoms are planted in the yard, and they are blooming at this time, with purple and red spots coming out among the snow, full of vitality.

"Lu'e's sister must like to enjoy the flowers in front of the window. It's so beautiful." Xiaoyu rubbed her hands while wailing coldly, and her red face was full of happiness.

Her first time to come to the Imperial City, and even the first time to come to the Western Yamen. She has always been well known for her name from the Si Tianjian.

"The snow reflects the red plums... These flowers that are not afraid of the cold are like her, and they like to bloom stubbornly in the cold winter."

Chu Lu'e raised her little face slightly. She was a little more angry than usual at this time, and she was not so lifeless.

Xu Yan said: "It's better to live for a while. Maybe your sister will come back in a few days."

Chu Lu'e said, "No need, this is the yamen of Sitianjian. We idle people can't wait for a long time to stay. I'm content to come and see Honglian's residence."

Xu Yan said: "Okay, you are a family member of Si Tianjian. The gate of the Xiyao will always be open to you and you can come over at any time."

Chu Lu'e smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Xu. If I have free time, I will come back. By the way, I wonder if your trouble has been solved. Are the people from Huining Palace looking for you again?"

"I don't know what is important to find me in Huining Palace. The queen was sent to the cold palace. The people in Huining Palace are afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves, so I don't have time to find me."

Xiaoyu said in surprise: "The queen was sent to the cold palace! What mistake did she make?"

Chu Lu'e said: "I'm afraid it's definitely not a small mistake."

Xu Yan said: "It is inconvenient to say more about the specific reasons. The secret of the royal family is not easy to spread."

The two girls were even more curious, but they were not easy to ask if Xu Yan didn't say it.

Xiaoyu said: "Will the queen make the emperor unhappy and was then thrown into the cold palace?"

Chu Lu'e: "It must be, and it's not a small matter. Maybe the queen stole a man outside and was sent to the cold palace."

Xiaoyu said, "No way! She is the queen!"

Chu Lu'e: "What's wrong with the queen? The queen is also a human being. Don't forget that human hearts are separated from the belly."

The two girls chattered and discussed, their faces filled with gossip and curiosity.

At this moment, Xu Yan seemed to think that Chu Lu'e was also an ordinary girl.

But this illusion disappeared soon.

Countless evidence reminded him that the disabled girl in front of him was the owner of the Blood River, and the murderous blood shadow Xiaohong was like a numbness.

"When will you go back?" Xu Yan asked inadvertently.

When he said that going back was referring to returning to Zhiyuan County.

Xiaoyu thought Xu Yan was not very happy that she came to the imperial city, so she hurriedly said, "We will leave soon and will not cause trouble for my brother."

Chu Lu'e said: "Yes, after seeing my sister's residence, it's time for me to go back to where I live."

Xiaoyu said: "Lu'e and I will go back to Zhiyuan County! Don't you have no relatives at home? We live together as a companion."

A faint coldness appeared deep in Xu Yan's eyes.

He was waiting for Chu Lu'e's decision.

If Chu Lu'e promised Xiaoyu to return to Zhiyuan County, it means that she had a murderous intention to kill Xiaoyu, because Zhiyuan County is no longer alive, Xu Yan could only choose to force Xiaoyu to stay or turn against Chu Lu'e.

The Great Shang Imperial City is the best place, and there is Sitianjian here. As long as Chu Lu'e dares to show her true identity, she will usher in the encirclement of the entire Sitianjian.

Chu Lu'e shook her head gently and said, "No, although I have no relatives at home, some neighbors with good relationships can take care of me from time to time. But Xiaoyu, you should be careful when you live alone and don't be deceived by bad people."

Xu Yan said: "No, I'm here, who dares to bully my sister? I bought a small house in Changxing Mansion, which is much better than a country house. I will hire a maid to live with you. Xiaoyu doesn't have to go back to Zhiyuan County, just act as helping her brother to manage the house."

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment.

She was born in a poor family and had never had any maids. She felt that she was not used to it for a while. She thought that the countryside of Zhiyuan County was suitable for her to live in.

Chu Lu'e spoke out and advised: "Silly girl, Changxing Mansion is a hundred times better than the countryside, and there is also academy. I heard that she also recruits girls. You can go to school and make many friends."

"I, can I also study?" She glanced at Xu Yan carefully, full of expectations but did not dare to reveal it.

"Of course, it's only a few dollars to go to the academy, so that's it." Xu Yan decided.

Xiaoyu almost jumped up with joy, Chu Lu'e also showed a sincere smile, and the stone in Xu Yan's heart finally fell to the ground.

I guessed it right.

Cruel as bloody shadows, there is also a soft place deep in my heart.

Chu Lu'e could bear to kill everyone, but she regarded Xiaoyu as her real friend.

Xiaoyu's crisis was resolved, and Xu Yan was no longer worried. After taking the two of them around the Western Yai, he sent the two girls out of the imperial city.

"Send it here, I can leave it myself."

Chu Lu'e got on the carriage that was traveling far away, waved to Xu Yan and Xiaoyu outside the carriage, and said, "Goodbye Xiaoyu, goodbye Lord Xu."

Xiaoyu's eyes were red and she said, "Goodbye Lu'e! I will miss you! Remember to come to see me!"

"Yes." Chu Lu'e nodded.

As the carriage set off, Xu Yan handed a small wooden box to Chu Lu'e.

"This is?"

"I thought I would bring you a little gift when I had the opportunity to pass through Laohuai Village. Let's see it on the way."

"Thank you."

“See you goodbye.”

The carriage is far away.

The girl in the car rubbed the wooden box and did not open it for a long time.

She enjoyed the feeling of expectation.

Because since she was born, she has never had the feeling of expecting her sister to come back.

What exactly is it?

She gently opened the box, and inside it was a blue five-leaf grass, with a familiar fragrance floating in it.

Close the lid.

Chu Lu'e's heart was always cold and a complicated feeling surged.

At the gate of the city, Xu Yan's eyes were also a bit complicated.

The last gift.

It means breaking apart with one knife, not friendship.

After Chu Lu'e left, Xiaoyu hesitated and asked, "Brother... Sir, when will I go to Changxing Mansion to study?"

"When I'm happy."

Xu Yan's face darkened and said, "Who asked you to come out? Do you know how dangerous it is? You can kidnap you if you come. This time I met Lu'e, what about next time? I'm selling someone and counting money for others!"

Xu Yan was really angry.

If he hadn't used the Dead's Palace to enlighten Chu Lu'e in all kinds of ways, it would be okay if Xiaoyu could live.

Xiaoyu was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything and lowered her head.

"Go back with me and pour water for a year before talking about it." Xu Yan said angrily.

Xiaoyu's eyes were red with aggrievedness and kept nodding, looking pitiful.

It happened that a handsome young man in white clothes passed by the city gate and heard it all over.

This man was born with a beautiful woman, with a fair fox face, a slender neck, and a willow eyebrows like a knife. It seemed to lock the cold winter.

When Xu Yan and Xiaoyu passed by, their lips opened and spit out two words.
