The candles on the altar were burning very strongly, Yao Xian was a little distracted, the wind was blowing, but the candle flame was beating in the wind, and it burned even more vigorously.

"Wanton -----" Yan Meng didn't even shout a few times but didn't see Yao Yan react, so he couldn't help grabbing her shoulder and shaking it.

Yao Yan came back to his senses suddenly, saw the worry on his face, and said apologetically: "I'm fine, it's just that I've been out of my mind for a while." Big brother, you go back first, I want to stay here for a while. ”

Luo Meng hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and finally poured a glass of wine for the altar, and left with Wu Shiwei.

Yao Xi said to the maid on the side again: "You can go back too, I'm fine, I just want to stay alone for a while." ”

"But-----" The maid hesitated, but she was told to take care of the girl at all times.

"Go back, it's not a short walk from the house, I'll be back later. ”

The maid also knew that she really wanted to stay alone for a while, so she had to nod and say, "Then the slave and maid will retreat first, and the girl will shout if there is something, and the slave and maid will come over immediately." ”

Yao Yan smiled gratefully at her, watching the maid walk away, the smile was put away little by little, and finally returned to a calm and waveless atmosphere.

She sat down next to the altar and flipped through a book that Qiu Zhan loved to read.

There was the sound of grass and trees being trampled on in his ears, Yao Xian thought that the maid was back again, and said without raising his head: "I'll sit for a while, you go back, I'll be back in a while." ”

After a long silence, I heard a voice say, "It's cold on the ground." Following a piece of clothing draped over Yao Shi's shoulders, she looked back in shock, stunned and didn't know how to react.

Qiu Ji sat down next to her, took off the tight book in Yao Yan's hand, and then reached out to hold her somewhat cold hand, and the two sat quietly.

"How did you find here?"

"I've been looking for you for a long time----"

The two spoke in unison, Yao Yan looked at Qiu Ji, with surprise and vigilance in his eyes, and some surprises that she deliberately ignored.

"How did you know I was here?" she asked again.

Qiu Ji felt that her cold hand was being covered by herself, and the corners of her mouth were slightly clear, "I know that you must always pay attention to the news in Jingzhong, today's notice in Jingzhao Mansion was just posted, and it was ripped away by the young master of the Wu family, so I followed, sure enough, you are here." ”

Yao Xi was stunned again, and suddenly she couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't expect Wu Shiwei to take the notice away, and she didn't expect Qiu Ji to be looking for her all the time.

"Your ---- Hurt"

"It's not a big deal----- after a pause, and then added in a ghostly way: "It's just a little painful." ”

Qiu Ji took out a medicine bottle from his arms with his other hand and handed it to her: "This is the ointment I prepared myself, you used it last time, can you use it?"

Yao Yan nodded silently, reached out and took it into the cuffs.

"I was rescued by the Wu family, Wu Shiwei once owed the eldest brother a favor, the eldest brother wanted to save me, and in desperation, he begged the Wu family, the Wu family is a trustworthy person, so he took the risk to save me. ”

"I have been injured every day, but I use this ointment three or four times a day, and the effect is very good. ”

Yao Yan glanced at him, looking over from the side, Qiu Ji's eyes didn't show any emotion, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he ---- look very happy.

Yao Xian's nose suddenly was sour, her eyes were filled with tears, she choked, lowered her head, trying not to let herself cry, trying not to let him notice anything wrong.

Qiu Ji tilted his head, his gaze lightly locked on her, and raised her cheeks, not allowing her to have any chance to dodge.

"It's not your fault. He said softly, his fingertips gently touched Yao Shi's cheek, the gentle touch made his heart move, he looked at Yao Shi quietly, and emphasized: "It's not your fault." ”

Yao Yan's tears were swaying, the big drops were uncontrollable, she was aggrieved and sad, crying silently and sadly.

Qiu Ji felt like he was being pinched, he didn't want to see her cry, he didn't want to see her sad, he gently hugged him, hugged the crying person in his arms, and gently patted his back to comfort: "From now on, I will not let you suffer any more suffering." ”

Yao Yan leaned on Qiu Ji's chest, very wide, very warm, she knew that she shouldn't, but she couldn't refuse, it was okay for a while, after tonight, she would find her place, she would no longer have the illusion of extravagant hopes, she would do what she should do step by step.

Just until then, let her enjoy this moment of warmth again.

After the fifteenth year, the hundred officials began to go to court one after another, but today---- everyone looked at each other, and their expressions were intriguing.

Zhuang Yan was in the side hall, the little eunuch dressed him, Liu De bowed and hurriedly entered the hall, and said with an embarrassed face: "Your Majesty ----"

Zhuang Yan sneered: "How many people are missing today?"

Liu De paused, and then whispered: "The secretary of the ministry, the secretary of the household, the servant of the household, the governor of the political affairs, the Dali Siqing, the Taichang Siqing and -----"

"Okay, I know, these old guys, hehe----" Zhuang Yan snorted with a smile, "They also have self-knowledge, knowing that they can't move when they are old, it's okay, Rong Zhen slowly cleans them up one by one." ”

Liu De said worriedly: "Your Majesty, since the surrender of the auxiliary court, dozens of ministers have said that they are sick and do not go to the court in the past few days, and I am afraid that they will become more and more serious, and the queen mother called the old slave to go to the ----- early this morning."

Zhuang Yan's eyes were fierce, "These old guys, just wait for the queen mother to come forward and let me compromise, and ---- will be good when they are sick, they are very good, how can they not be cured if they are sick." ”

In the court, Zhuang Yan looked coldly at the civil and military officials standing below, and asked, "Why are there fewer people in the court today?"

The eunuch hurriedly presented the fold of the first base leave, "Back to the emperor, these ministers have said that they can't get out of bed and can't go to court. ”

Zhuang Yan opened the folds one by one, and looked worried: "In recent days, the ministers have been sick one after another, and I am deeply worried, I am afraid that they have been infected with the epidemic, and the Xuantai Hospital is an envoy. ”

"Envoy of Xuantai Hospital Meets -----"

Wang Denghan hurriedly entered the hall and bowed.

"Embassy -----"

"The old minister is in the -----"

Zhuang Yan showed a worried look on his face: "It is really strange that the ministers have fallen ill one after another in recent days, I am worried that there is a strange disease that has been introduced into the capital, you quickly send the Tai Hospital to dispatch, be sure to go to every minister's home, carefully check, no illness can be ignored, if the disease is not controlled, the number of people in the court will continue to decrease tomorrow, I only ask." ”

Wang Denghan's eyelids twitched, and he kowtowed in panic: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

"The military department is still ---- to obey orders"

Uncle Wu stood up and arched his hand: "The lower official is here." ”

"I am worried that the ministers will be infected with the epidemic and that it will spread to the people of Beijing, so you should quickly send people to guard outside the ministers' palaces, and no one is allowed to go out until they are cured. ”

Uncle Wu nodded and said, "The official has the order." ”
