"Do you care?"

Hua Lianyue suspected that something was wrong with her ears, she turned around suddenly, her cold black eyes stared at the person in front of her for a moment, and said, "What, what are you talking about?"

Liu Hui, who has always been considerate to her, pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his dark eyes stared at her gradually reddening cheeks, and said slowly: "Do you care? Yue'er, since the day you met Zhang Jiao, you have always behaved indifferently and self-controlled, do you really care about her existence? Or should I say, do you really care about me?"

Hua Lianyue's widening eyes gradually narrowed, she took a step back defensively, and said coldly: "I know that she has ill intentions, and I also know that she is the concubine of the Zhang family and your serious princess." In order not to embarrass you, I have been respecting her and staying away from her, is this also wrong?"

When Liu Hui heard this, his eyes couldn't help showing a touch of painful disappointment, he lowered his long eyelids, and said expressionlessly: "No, it's not your fault, it's my fault, it's my big mistake!"

"Liu Hui!" Looking at his dead appearance, the anger in Hua Lianyue's heart had turned into doubt. She raised her hand and touched his forehead, and said puzzledly, "You are still drunk, so you are talking nonsense here?"

Liu Hui tilted his head, avoiding her touch. Her hand froze in mid-air, and then fell down after a half-sound. Liu Hui had already turned around and walked back to the table, he sat down slowly with his support on the table, and said coldly: "Yue'er, I will sort out all the confessions of the military case tonight and send them to the capital tomorrow." So ......"

"Needless to say!" Hua Lianyue said coldly, "I know that King Xian has always been busy with official business, so I won't bother here!" she turned around and walked out the door angrily.

When she was about to step out of the door of the study, she suddenly heard Liu Hui behind her suddenly call: "Yue'er!"

Angry with him, her feet stopped in disobedience. She bit her lip with some annoyance, but stubbornly refused to look back. I heard Liu Hui say quietly: "Do you know why I want to invite Fifth Master Weng to eat an all-pigeon banquet today?"

I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do I know? Hua Liyue quietly rolled her eyes, but unconsciously pricked up her ears.

The person behind her also knew that she would not answer, and after a slight pause, continued: "Because this morning when you mentioned the old incident of grabbing oil-drenched pigeons with him when you were a child, that smile was too bright and bright...... It's too glaring. ”

Hua Lianyue was almost happy when she heard this, it was an old thing from seven years ago, even if she smiled happily when she mentioned it occasionally, it had nothing to do with dazzling eyes.

This man really wants to add to the sin, and there is no excuse for it.

I heard Liu Hui sigh slightly, and continued: "I set up a hundred pigeon banquet today, and drunk him with wine. It's just that when he sees the pigeon in the future, he will feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, and he won't think of you again, and he won't have such a knowing smile. ”

Hua Lianyue turned her head suddenly, raised her hand and pointed at him, and said angrily: "Liu Hui, you are too small-bellied." For the sake of such a trivial matter many years ago, you actually harmed Fifth Brother Weng like this. Me, I, I...... I really don't want to be in the company of a sinister villain like you!" she shook the curtain and strode away angrily.

Liu Hui didn't chase her, just stared indifferently at the shaking curtain in front of him. After half a ring, the last light in his deep dark eyes gradually faded, no longer with a trace of warmth, like ice that would not melt for thousands of years, making people feel intimidated.

He hung his head expressionlessly, reached out and picked up the ink-stained brush again, and began to write again.

Hua Lianyue ran out of the courtyard gate in one breath and came to the Yanwu Hall in the front yard of the General's Mansion before gradually stopping. Angry as she walked all the way, her vest sweating slightly, and she couldn't help but sneeze a few times when she was swept away by the biting night wind.

Rubbing the tip of her somewhat sour nose, Hua Lianyue realized that the surroundings were empty and silent, only the two glass lamps hanging in front of the Yanwu Hall brought a dim light to this wide place.

The night wind hit silently again, and the cold was mixed with fine sand grains, which stabbed slightly on the face, as if it had been pricked by countless cow hair needles. Hua Liyue subconsciously went to the cloak on her shoulders, but her hand fell short. She suddenly remembered that she had just run out because she was holding her breath, but her cloak was left in the warm pavilion.

The feverish head seemed to be cooled by the wind, and Hua Lianyue carefully recalled Liu Hui's inexplicable words before. She vaguely felt that he seemed to have a lot of anger, but she couldn't bear it. She didn't know where his anger came from, it couldn't really be for that little thing seven years ago!

Hua Lianyue pursed her lips and said that he could compare to her if he was wronged. Fifth Brother Weng is just an old friend from the past, and now they have long been married, and even two sons have been born, so it really makes no sense for him to eat this old vinegar.

But that Zhang Jiao really has a contradiction between the two, and she has the emperor's decree and the favor of the concubine, and she is a virtuous princess. He has been empathetic to avoid it, let it, he still dares to blacken his face, and he dares to speak out and reprimand her.

The more Hua Lianyue thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt panicked. She slowly crouched down, wrapping her hands around her legs, hiding her wet face in her knees.

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that she felt that her legs were sore and heavy, as if there were thousands of ants gnawing inside, and her stiff body moved slightly. She was about to lift her head, but she felt a warmth on her shoulders, and a cloak with body temperature fell on her shoulders.

Her body stiffened, and she simply buried her face deeper, and after half a sound, her muffled voice came: "Now I don't want to see you, you can go!"

"Hehe! Who made our little bully angry. The thick but slightly old familiar voice beside her made her almost sit on the ground in surprise.

Hua Lianyue quickly raised her head, revealing a silly embarrassed smile, and said, "Dad, hehe, why are you here?"

Liu Yiliang squinted his eyes, stroked his gray beard, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here again, Liu Hui, why didn't he accompany you?"

"I slept a lot in the afternoon and now I'm sleepy, I want to go out for a walk and see the night. Liu Hui ..... He was still busy sorting out the case files to be sent to the capital in the study. I have been to this general's mansion countless times when I was a child, and I still need him to accompany me. ”

Hua Lianyue stood up while answering, but unfortunately because she had been squawing for too long and got up too violently, she stumbled and almost sat back on the ground in embarrassment. Liu Yiliang quickly grabbed her arm, so that she didn't have a close contact with the earth.

Hua Lianyue finally stood firm, in order to hide her embarrassment, she coughed lightly a few times before sneering: "Squatting for too long for a while your feet are numb, and your feet are numb for a while!"

Liu Yiliang let go of his hand, shook his head and sighed: "You are also married, and you are still the main mother of those Feng Wei, can you act more steadily, don't do whatever you want like if you are not married." ”

Hua Lianyue grabbed Liu Yiliang's arm, shook it and said coquettishly: "Dad, even if I get married, I am also the little overlord of the Liu family, what does it matter if I do whatever I want in front of you." ”

"You!" Liu Yiliang couldn't help but reach out and scratch the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "When will you really grow up!" He looked up at the dusk yellow moon hanging in the air, and said with interest: "Yue'er, Dad is not sleepy now, why don't I go for a walk with you?"

"Okay!, that's what my daughter wants!" Hua Lianyue suddenly laughed when she heard this.

In the study at this moment, Xiaoxiao carefully opened the door curtain and walked in. She shouted timidly: "Lord Wang!"

Liu Hui held a brush in his hand and glanced up at her. There was no wave in his eyes, and he couldn't tell that he had quarreled with Hua Liyue before.

Xiaoxiao curtsied and said, "Doctor Liu has gone over to look for Mrs.!"

"Got it, you go down!" Liu Hui lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to write.

couldn't wait for new instructions, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to retreat. She didn't understand why the prince and his wife were fine before, but why they suddenly quarreled. I don't understand why the prince obviously cares about his wife, but there is a cold and dead silence in his eyes at this moment.

She was shocked to all outsiders, not to mention the lady who seemed to be casual but was actually as careful. Maybe with Doctor Liu accompanying and persuading, the hurdle in Madame's heart can be passed quickly.

The hazy starlight illuminates the smooth bluestone ground beneath your feet. The night breeze was cold, blowing the glass hydrangea lantern in Liu Yiliang's hand swaying. The two walked side by side silently, and the corners of their clothes were blown by the wind and made a slight noise.

Hua Lianyue finally said leisurely: "Dad, you can talk to me about your mother!"

Liu Yiliang smiled and said: "You have heard the story between me and your mother eight hundred times, why haven't you heard it yet!"

Hua Lianyue said coquettishly: "That's my mother, don't talk about eight hundred times, even ten eight hundred times can't get tired of listening to it." Dad, you say, I just want to hear it. ”

Liu Yiliang rubbed the top of her hair helplessly, and said dotingly: "Okay, good, Yue'er wants to hear it, and my father will tell you!"

Hanahime has been dead for more than ten years, and although Yoshira often recalls the moments they had together, he gradually finds that some of his memories begin to blur as time passes. He couldn't help but be afraid, for fear that when he went down to the underworld in the future, he would completely forget the past with Hanahime, and at that time, Hanahime would definitely not forgive himself.

So he also needs to confide in him to reminisce about the past. And the best person to confide in is Hua Lianyue, their youngest daughter.

"Your mother, it was ....... then"

"The daughter of an ordinary merchant. ”

"Your dad was ...... at the time"

"The apprentice of the herb shop. ”

"What kind of junior apprentice of the medicinal herb shop, do you know that the owner of the medicinal herb shop is Yang Zipu, the imperial doctor of the former dynasty. ”

"yes, yes, I remember. That Imperial Doctor Yang had some old grudges with his grandfather, but Dad, you admired his superb medical skills, so he went out of the capital to change his name and secretly went to his medicinal herb shop to be a small apprentice.

It's a pity that Imperial Doctor Yang is too narrow-minded, and you have the name of an apprentice but only do the miscellaneous work of catching medicine and cleaning. And all the precious home remedies in the hands of Imperial Doctor Yang are hidden, and he refuses to show you any of them. ”

"Are you here or am I coming to it?" was interrupted by Hua Lianyue three times and twice, and Liu Yiliang couldn't help but complain in annoyance.

Hua Lianyue pursed her lips and chuckled: "People can't help it! Okay, it's still Dad, you say, I'll never intervene again!"

In fact, it is a very old-fashioned story of a hero saving beauty, Hua Lianyue's mother was originally married, and her husband's family was the cousin of this Imperial Doctor Yang. However, before getting married, Hua Ji was infected with smallpox because she kindly helped a little beggar who was sick on the side of the road.

You must know that smallpox is a terrible disease that makes people smell and change color, and if one person gets it, it will be transmitted to the whole family, and if the whole family gets it, it will be transmitted to the whole village, and if the whole village gets it, it will be transmitted to the whole town...... In short, if the epidemic cannot be controlled in time, a large number of people will die in pain.

The most effective way to control the epidemic is to gather all the sick together, wait for them to die, burn the bones again, and then bury them in the spot.

And the little beggar escaped from the epidemic area, thinking that he had escaped, but he didn't expect the disease to let him go.

The little beggar soon died, and most of the people who came into contact with him began to get sick, and Hanahime was one of them. She had a low-grade fever and was covered with horrible chickenpox. The local officials immediately demarcated the epidemic area and drove all the sick people in, waiting for their bodies to be cremated after they died.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble, because the little beggar had been wandering around the town for several days, so half of the town was suspected of contracting smallpox, either directly or indirectly. And the officials were afraid of taking responsibility, and regardless of whether they were sick or not, they arrested everyone and put them in quarantine.

And Liu Yiliang is also one of them, because Hua Ji sent the little beggar to the Yang family pharmacy at that time, and it was Liu Yiliang who was responsible for receiving it at that time.

Perhaps Liu Yiliang has always been dealing with medicinal herbs, so his body is strong, and no matter how powerful smallpox is, he can't infect him. However, being involved for no reason, the young and vigorous Liu Yiliang also felt very depressed. So when I saw Hua Ji wrapped her head and face with Juanpa, she couldn't help but sneer.

Hanahime doesn't defend herself, she just silently bears his blame, and then helps him take care of the patients who have begun to get sick.

In order not to cause anger and resentment, the government still threw some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs and food into the epidemic area every day.

In fact, Liu Yiliang himself had excellent medical skills at that time, but he did not have the opportunity to show his edge because he was young. He was incognito in the Yang family's pharmacy for the precious home remedies for the treatment of smallpox in the hands of Imperial Doctor Yang.

Because in the previous dynasty, a prince went out of the palace to play without permission and was also infected with smallpox. At that time, all the imperial doctors felt that they were hopeless, and it was this Yang imperial doctor who saved the prince with home remedies.

Because of this home remedies, he also enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and glory, so he regarded the prescription as precious as an eyeball, and naturally formed a knot with many old ministers who wanted him to sacrifice home remedies to save the people.

Liu Yiliang has been stealing teachers in the pharmacy for more than half a year, and he has figured out Yang Yu's habits of medicine, and he has also figured out nine times out of ten the prescriptions for treating smallpox. It's a pity that there has never been a chance to verify. Now that he is locked up in the epidemic area, surrounded by smallpox patients, it happens to be his best opportunity to practice.

But the medicine came out, but no one dared to drink it. Although no one wanted to die, no one dared to act as a medicine man for the experiment. In the end, it was Hua Ji who stepped forward and drank the first bowl of medicinal juice that Liu Yiliang boiled.

Not surprisingly, instead of working, the potion made Hanahime sicker and sicker. The chickenpox on her body began to fester, and the low-grade fever became a menacing high-fever.
