When Princess Fushou left, Qing Dai asked, "County Lord, is there really someone who wants to harm County Lord Mingfang?"
"Yes, not all, that person is the one who wants to hurt me and Liu Fang'er. โ
Qing Dai suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that the county lord wants Princess Fushou to find out the news! "Qing Dai really admires her own county lord more and more.
Ling Haoyue smiled faintly: "If I am really powerful, I will directly arrest the murderer, I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark, I am still not strong enough after all." โ
Qing Dai said with relief: "County Lord, don't give up on yourself, you have the Queen Mother as your backing, and now there is a master who is proficient in medical and poison arts, and you are so smart, you will find the murderer one day." โ
Ling Haoyue nodded and said, "This county lord naturally believes it, and there is nothing else in this life, just to take revenge!"
Xiao Yao hurriedly went up, blinked his eyes, and said firmly: "County Lord, you can do it, Xiao Yao will help you kill the big bad guy!"
Qing Dai snorted: "Xiao Yao is really cute and funny." โ

This night, Ling Haoyue slept extremely unsteadily, and the scene of herself being burned by fire in her previous life was reproduced in her dream.
As soon as Qi Yan came in, he saw Ling Haoyue lying on the bed, tears wetting the pillow, and muttering something in his mouth.
He leaned in and was startled.
"Daddy, it turns out that you died so miserably, woo woo woo ......"
"I, Ling Haoyue, swear to the heavens that I will avenge you!"
Qi Yan said in his heart: It turns out that you are so obsessed with the death of your parents that you have to swear to avenge your parents in your dreams. Qi Yan couldn't help but reach out and gently soothe her frowning brows, and help her wipe away her tears.
"Yue'er, don't cry. โ
And Ling Haoyue, who was sleeping, was suffering from being burned by the fire, and suddenly wanted someone to gently call her "Yue'er"
"Yue'er, you should be a woman as bright as the moon, don't cry. โ
"Who are you?????," Ling Haoyue called out quickly, and at the same time, her hands were unconsciously grasping, and this grasp happened to hold Qi Yan's hand.
Ling Haoyue only felt a warm feeling in her palms, and she suddenly felt comfortable. The nightmare gradually stopped, and the whole person fell asleep peacefully.
By the moonlight, Qi Yan watched her hold her slender hand, her hand was small, but her fingers were very slender, and she must have looked very good when she played the piano.
Looking at her calm sleeping face again, her eyes are closed, she has lost her bright eyes on weekdays, and there are still some tears left over from crying in the busy cries in the corners of her eyes, like a little beast without teeth and claws, which makes people can't help but love and caress it.
In fact, Qi Yan really had so much, and his hand was gently attached to her palm-sized little face. The skin is as smooth and delicate as white jade, this is the first time he has touched a woman's skin, and this is probably what the ice muscle and jade bone said.
Ling Haoyue felt that this warm and somewhat rough thing was sliding slightly on her face, and the slight friction had an indescribable sense of comfort, and she couldn't help but rub it like a kitten.
So good!
Qi Yan smiled, the cold and lonely Ling Haoyue on weekdays was like a well-behaved kitten at the moment......
The next morning, Ling Haoyue woke up, still thinking about the warmth of last night, like waking up from a dream.
If you don't forget what you are doing in your sleep the moment you wake up, it's hard to forget it.
"Lily of the valley, was there anything unusual last night?" Ling Haoyue always felt that those warm hands were real.
Lily of the valley shook her head and said, "No, the slave and maid retired early last night, and it was Xiao Yao who stayed outside." He turned his head to Xiao Yao and asked, "Xiao Yao, did you hear any movement?"
Xiao Yao waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, it's just that the county lord seemed to have a nightmare last night, and he had a nightmare for a while." โ
"Nightmare?" said Lily of the Valley worriedly, "County Lord, do you want to ask the doctor to come and see it?"
"Yes, county lord, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" Qing Dai also looked concerned. The Queen Mother instructed her to take care of the county lord, and if the county lord was in different health, the Queen Mother would be to blame.
Ling Haoyue shook her head: "It's just a dream, so don't make a fuss." I know my own body. โ
Xiao Yao nodded, and then echoed: "The county lord is right, so he muttered a few words, and then calmed down and fell asleep peacefully." โ
"Is that really the case?" Ling Haoyue felt that what Xiao Yao said was the same as what she had in her memory last night's dream.
"Yes, Xiao Yao thought that the county lord might have had a nightmare before, and then a peerless hero appeared and fell from the sky to help the county lord ask for trouble, so the county lord didn't have a dream. โ
Ling Haoyue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "You little girl, you talk in a set way." โ
Xiao Yao suddenly leaned over and said with a smile: "Hehe, county lord, won't you really let Xiao Yao say it accurately, does the county lord really dream of a man? Is this just the lover of his dreams, hehe, has the county lord seen what his uncle looks like, is it good? Like a big beauty like the county lord, my uncle must also be a beautiful man in Zhilan Yushu." โ
"Qingdai, did you show Xiao Yao a notebook, look at what she was thinking in her head. Ling Haoyue felt her face even hotter.
Qing Dai smiled: "The county lord, you can wronged the slave maid, how dare the slave and maid read this kind of book to Xiao Yao, it is Xiao Yao who has always said that the county lord is so good, and I don't know who is so blessed to marry the county lord in the future." โ
Ling Haoyue's face turned pale, it was impossible for her to marry in her life.
Qing Dai didn't see Ling Haoyue's face, touched Xiao Yao's round little head, and said: "Xiao Yao, our county lord has long been famous, the emperor personally gave the marriage and married the county lord to Xiao Gongzi, the grandson of Mrs. Xiao, don't think about it all day." โ
Xiao Yao's eyes rolled and he pouted, "Then what Xiao Gongzi is worthy of being the county lord?"
Qing Dai said with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi's grandfather is the emperor's teacher, he is very knowledgeable, Xiao Gongzi's family background and literature are all good, and he is married by the emperor, of course he is worthy of it." โ
"It's not good, it's not good, Xiao Yao is not good, the county lord was poisoned before, he didn't come to visit the county lord, what's good!" Xiao Yao looked unhappy, and a pair of watery eyes were full of disgust.
"County Lord, such a person is not good, don't you marry him!"
Ling Haoyue said lightly: "Xiao Yao, you seem to hate Xiao Gongzi very much, you haven't seen him yet, how can there be such great hostility for no reason." โ
Xiao Yao lowered his head, and the whole person was like a deflated ball: "Xiao Yao just doesn't like people to bully the county lord, or if there is a tendency to bully the county lord, it's not good." โ
Ling Haoyue smiled: "Okay, Xiaoyao, I won't let people bully me, and Xiao Gongzi can't bully me." โ
As he was talking, suddenly the housekeeper sent someone to report that Miss Xiao Fanghui and Miss Xiao came to visit the county lord.
Qing Dai smiled: "It must have been Mr. Xiao who asked Miss Xiao to come." โ
Ling Haoyue said lightly: "Qingdai, don't guess. Her face was as calm as water, but Qing Dai felt a sense of indifference, and immediately silenced herself, not daring to speak again.
The county lord was angry.
"Qingdai, please Miss Xiao go to the hall for tea, and Lily of the Valley will dress up for the county lord. โ
Hearing Ling Haoyue's order, Qing Dai was stunned: the county lord asked Miss Xiao to go to the hall instead of the boudoir, didn't she want to marry Xiao Qingfeng, so she was not enthusiastic about Xiao Fanghui, the future sister-in-law, and was full of alienation.
โฆโฆ
In the hall, not long after Xiao Fanghui sat down, she saw Ling Haoyue walking out, her face was fine, but the corners of her eyes were a little blue.
Xiao Fanghui gave her a standard blessing and said, "Hui'er has seen the county lord. โ
"It's been a long time, Miss Xiao doesn't have to be polite. Ling Haoyue was polite but didn't have any intimacy meaning, just blindly treated her as a guest.
Xiao Fanghui looked at Ling Haoyue hesitantly: "The county lord was poisoned in Chaohua Palace on the day of the blame, but my brother was not around, and I haven't visited him for so many days?" โ
I felt that the explanation was not clear enough, and at the end, Xiao Fanghui added another sentence: "Hearing about the poisoning of the county lord, my brother wanted to come to visit the county lord, but my grandfather hadn't woken up at that time, it was Hui'er who thought that since the county lord had been detoxified, and the imperial doctor personally diagnosed the pulse, there would be no big deal, so I pulled my brother, if the county lord is to blame, blame Hui'er." โ
"Miss Xiao misunderstood, this county lord didn't blame you. โ
Listening to Xiao Fanghui's explanation for a long time, Ling Haoyue had a headache, this girl is also sincere.
"Oh, really?" Xiao Fanghui relieved her heart, "It's good that the county lord doesn't blame my brother." โ
Ling Haoyue smiled gently and said, "Mrs. Xiao's health is better?"
"Well, my grandfather has woken up, and the doctor said that he was just too tired, so he should pay more attention to rest. When Xiao Fanghui first heard the news of her grandfather's fainting, her heart rose to her throat, but fortunately, there was no big problem, and she was much more relieved.
"Mrs. Xiao is still teaching at the Royal Academy, how can he skip the fatigue?" Ling Haoyue asked.
When it came to this, Xiao Fanghui wanted to pour bitter water: "County Lord, don't you know, grandfather is old, and Taifu is also a fictitious position, who knows that grandfather said that the food of the king bears the worries of the king, so he teaches at the Lingshan Academy in the suburbs of Beijing to cultivate talents for the imperial court." That Lingshan Academy was originally far away from Taifu's Mansion, and my grandfather insisted on going to teach every day, and he had to get up before dawn every day to teach, can he not be tired?"
Xiao Fanghui didn't know how many times she had been persuaded, but Mrs. Xiao never listened.
"County Lord, my grandfather is stubborn, no one can persuade him, and my brother and Hui'er have a headache for this matter. โ
Ling Haoyue didn't answer, only smiled faintly.
At this time, Lily of the Valley came in and said, "County Lord, the third lady is here." โ
Ling Huaizhu, what is she doing here?
