In the distance, there were sounds of firecrackers.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and even if there is a disaster, the people will not forget this most important festival of the year.

In an ordinary small inn, the man who had just lie down and closed his eyes to rest suddenly woke up.

"What is the number today?" Mu Shaoqin asked softly.

The imperial physician Zou Yuanliang, who had been accompanying him, thought for a while, "Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month."

Mu Shaoqin suddenly laughed, "Will I be one year older tomorrow?"

Zou Yuanliang said strangely, "Is the Duke of the Kingdom of China's birthday tomorrow?"

Mu Shaoqin nodded and smiled, "Yes, I was born on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. But the year I gave birth to me was not thirty, and the 29th was New Year's Eve, so my family always celebrated two birthdays for me, one for two

Nineteen, one New Year’s Eve.”

Zou Yuanliang smiled and said, "That's not good? Can you accept two birthday gifts?"

Mu Shaoqin smiled a little deeper, "Actually, I have a brother who grew up with me since childhood. When we were young, we would always shake dices on the 28th night, and the older ones would receive New Year's Eve gifts.

I will receive the 29th gift. Because the New Year's Eve gift is always heavier than the 29th one. But at that time, I always won every time. I always thought that my luck was better than my brother, but I didn't know

It’s my brother’s skills that are better. Every time I deliberately shook my teeth and made me happy.”

"Duke Pingguo is a lucky person, so he has had such a good brother since he was a child. Like me, he doesn't have such a good brother. But there are a few little brothers who want to be honest." Zou Yuanliang deliberately changed the topic,

Because he knew that there was no one in the Mu family. If he continued, he was afraid that Mu Shaoqin would be sad.

But he suddenly asked with a smile, "Do you know what is right for New Year's Eve?"

Zou Yuanliang was stunned, "Yes, pair?"

Mu Shaoqin nodded, hoping that he would continue to guess.

Zou Yuanliang deliberately made a wrong move, "Chedong."

Mu Shaoqin smiled, "Be serious."

Zou Yuanliang then smiled and said, "It should be Mid-Autumn Festival? It's all a reunion festival, so it should be this."

Mu Shaoqin nodded, with a sense of happiness in his smile. "My wife was born in Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zou Yuanliang said, "That's a coincidence."

Mu Shaoqin also laughed, "Yes, it's a coincidence that I met her."

His smile spread, and there was a little tenderness and memorial in it. He remembered the early spring when he was seventeen years old. The forest he first met...

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zou Yuanliang was afraid that he would think of sad things, so he changed the topic, "What gift does the Duke want on this year's birthday? As long as it's not too expensive, I, Lao Zou, can give it to you."

The gift he wanted most? Mu Shaoqin sighed slightly in his heart. Since his separation, he has only one birthday wish every year, which is to meet his wife again. But he has promised it for fifteen years and has not yet come true.

"Hiss--" Suddenly, a sudden thrust in my heart caused Mu Shaoqin's face to change.

What's wrong? Zou Yuanliang quickly took his pulse. Is it okay?

But Mu Shaoqin felt a little strange in his heart, and always felt uncomfortable, as if something ominous was about to happen. Suddenly, he thought of Nian Fulai. When he thought of her, he felt even more unable to stay there.

"No. I want to go back to Beijing!"

Zou Yuanliang was stunned, "Now? But we have just settled down, so we don't rush to do this, right? Let's take another night and we will be able to go to Beijing tomorrow."

"No!" Mu Shaoqin didn't know what was wrong, but he always felt that there was some force pushing him and he had to rush back. "You let everyone rest, just a few of us left quietly. They are already so close to the capital.

It's all right, nothing can happen."

Seeing his firm attitude, Zou Yuanliang had to call the manager, and the guards and him followed Mu Shaoqin to leave first, while the remaining people were guarding the food and grass and waiting for dawn to enter Beijing.

Although he didn't stay for one night, Mu Shaoqin still asked his servants to give him enough money for the whole night. The inn owner made a bet for nothing and wanted to do something good.

Go to the woodshed in the backyard and called the old, weak, sick and disabled family, "There is a vacant house now, so you can go and live there. Don't worry, you won't charge you any more money."

Heavenly Prison.

It was already dark, but Nianfu still couldn't sleep. She was observing the cell and wanted to try to set it on fire!

She doesn't want to die.

Although she brought Ouyang Kang that way, she still didn't want to die. If the Queen Mother hadn't interfered, she would have lived a good life alone, why would she have to seek death?

However, the defense of the prison was very tight. Even if she could burn the fence, she could not burn through such a thick iron gate. There were no windows around to climb out. What should she do?

Nianfu really hoped that she could also turn into a ball of fire, shrink into a small one, and escape from the tall small window, but how could she have such ability?

Suddenly, I saw the sound of the door lock twisting, and someone came.

"I didn't expect it would be me, right?" Ruian looked at her condescendingly, his eyes full of unconcealed coldness and malice.

Nianfu saw the bad things in her eyes and was secretly shocked, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Do you not know about this question?"

As he reached out to stroke his injured left face, Ryan's voice became sharp and hatred, and that was like her original, rather than her pretending to be weak.

"Do you know? The Imperial Doctor told me that the scars on my face will never be cured. Whenever I see them, I will think of you and everything you did to me that day! There are no one else here now, you always

I can admit it happily, you hurt my face, right?"

Nianfu looked at her coldly, "That was your own fault. If you hadn't hurt someone first, you wouldn't have received such retribution!"

Ryan seemed extremely angry, but when he looked at her again, he suddenly laughed, "Yes, I took it upon myself, what about you? What about you now? Look at your face, who was it hurt?

?”

Nianfu stroked his injured cheek, and the pain in his heart spread again.

Ryan smiled even more proudly, "You are good at helping the disaster relief and porridge. I have been able to hold on for so many days, but what is the result? Do you know why people outside scold you now?"

Nianfu doesn't want to listen, but Ruian must continue. "They say you have a fake kindness, but in fact the worst is that. Aquatic poplar flowers seduce men everywhere. They also make children vicious and hoarse children and traffic in little beggars. Some people say you will interrupt

Their hands and feet let them beg for money!”

Where did this come from nonsense? Seeing that Nianfu became obviously angry, Ruian smiled more and more happily, "This tastes very bad. Right? He is obviously a good person, but he wants to be regarded as a bad person. He has done so much

What a good thing, but in the end, I could only squat in this dark and wet prison and wait for death!”

Nianfu said angrily, "How did you know that I would die? Even if the empress dowager wants to kill someone, she always has to give her a reason, right? Otherwise, how could she convince the public?"

Ruian smiled a little sinisterly, "Yes, the Queen Mother has to kill someone for reasons, but if you die in an accident, what else can I say?"

Nianfu looked at her again, looking alert. "Do you want to kill me? Are you not afraid of causing trouble?"

"Of course I'm afraid, so I won't do such a stupid thing. But if you encounter any accidents in this cell, it's hard to say, right?"

She untied a cloth bag from her waist under the cloak and looked at Nian Fu gloomyly and smiled. Some living creature seemed to be squirming in the cloth bag. Nian Fu suddenly had a bad premonition, and his hair all over his body stood up.

.

Ruian carefully untied the cloth bag and suddenly a snake head emerged from it! Such triangle shape and mottled patterns could tell at a glance that it was highly toxic!

Nianfu screamed and jumped away quickly, and all goose bumps in his body exploded. There were not many girls who were not afraid of such things, and Nianfu was no exception.

Ryan looked at her and smiled even more viciously. Her cold eyes were exactly the same as the poisonous snake in her hand.

"You should always know, what I did in the past, right? Yes, I have been a beggar. The best person in the beggar industry is to catch snakes in addition to beating dogs. What are you afraid of? Aren't you very powerful?

Come here, come here!"

Nianfu was almost scared.

She wanted to calm herself down and treat the snake as a mouse, burning the matter in a fire, but she couldn't do it! That thing was so terrifying!

Ruian forced her to wander around in a small cell like a cat and a mouse, and she was very happy, "Do you know? When I was chanting and suffering every day in Baoguang Temple, I was wondering how to torture slowly

You, a snake, are you afraid of becoming like this, what if you have another one!”

Nianfu is really going crazy.

Because Ryan really caught another poisonous snake and threw it directly at her!

"Go away!" Nianfu jumped onto the small bed in the cell, but the snake quickly felt her breath and gradually approached. Nianfu screamed in despair, "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,

!”

Ryan sneered, "Save effort, I have already sent people out."

"But you can't kill me!" Nian Fu said in a trembling voice, "If someone knows that you have been here, I will die, and you will definitely not be able to escape!"

Ha! Ryan smiled, looking at her blue and white lips with great pleasure, "So what if it is discovered? Do you know what the biggest difference between you and me is?"

Ryan looked at her viciously and said word by word, "That's why I have a good father, but you don't! So no matter what I do wrong, I will be safe in the end, but you can't do it!"

She threw another poisonous snake in her hand and said coldly, "If you can have a prince to be your father, you will know how wonderful this taste is. But look at your poor look

, Your father must be no less noble. At most, he is a country-based muddy leg, and maybe he is still a low-ranking one!"

"My father is not a inferior one!" At the critical moment, he was humiliated to his close relatives again. Nianfu finally overcame that fear and a blazing heat burst out from his whole body. The two poisonous snakes felt the heat on her body and hesitated and dared not.

near.

Ryan was shocked, what was going on? "Go and bite her, bite her!"

Nianfu yelled loudly, "My father's surname is Mu, and he is also from the Mu family!"

"You are lying!" Ruian didn't believe it at all, "The Mu family is dead. You want to pretend to be a royal relative, and you don't urinate first and look in the mirror. Just you are so naughty, you dare to pretend to be a Mu family. It's really alive.

I have to be impatient!"

"I didn't pretend to be a fool. My surname is Mu, and my father's name is Mu Shaoqin!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Ruian was really anxious, and he argued with her with red eyes and thick neck, "My father is Mu Shaoqin, he is not your father!"

The long-conserved secret blurted out, "If you don't believe me, go and ask your father, do he have a clan brother, and he is called Mu Shaoqin?"

Ruian was stunned and suddenly remembered the lonely tomb that he had visited. The name of the person on it was indeed written with Mu Shaoqin.

At this moment, the big iron gate was kicked open with a bang. Someone strode in, and his excited voice was trembling, "What did you say? Say it again, who is your father?"

(The lid on the pot is weak, even Fuma has released it, ache, although it is a little obscure. Don't get angry anymore, just go one by one~~~~~) (To be continued. If you like this
