After the meal, Yu Mingzhi excused himself to be a little tired, and went back hand in hand with Qin Ji, but he didn't expect Hang Yang to wait at the gate of the courtyard. She saw that he was overjoyed, and immediately quickened her pace, not wanting her hand to be gently pulled, and slowed down again.

"Huh?" she looked back at Qin Ji in confusion.

Qin Ji said with a smile: "If you are pregnant, you should look pregnant, otherwise you will be looked at by Princess Cheng and what should I do if I am exposed?"

Yu Mingzhi smiled, "You're right. She had no choice but to walk slowly to the front of the courtyard at the same speed as before, and called Hang Yang to go in and talk together.

Hang Yang said: "My subordinates inquired from the doctor, and said that his master suddenly remembered that there was a famous doctor who traveled all over the world, and if he could find his whereabouts, maybe there would be a way...... In addition, there is another thing that is not very reliable, and the subordinates don't know whether to say it or not. ”

What else should not be said at this time? Yu Mingzhi nodded and said, "Say it." ”

Hang Yang still hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Ji's face, and then said, "The doctor said that this matter is very strange, so it is better to ...... Take a look at the witch doctor in southern Xinjiang. ”

"Southern Xinjiang Witch Doctor?" Yu Mingzhi frowned, she had heard of this kind of person, but only heard of it, and had never seen the real Southern Xinjiang Witch Doctor.

It is a group of very mysterious people, relying on witchcraft and magic to heal diseases, playing with all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions between applause, and can skillfully enter medicine, but the words associated with these people are often "harmful", "terrible" and other derogatory meanings, although there are people who have really been cured, but they are rumored to be miraculous, but it is not credible.

But there was one thing that reminded her, and that was the various poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang.

It is said that the poisonous Gu cultivated by these insects can cause people to hallucinate, behave abnormally, change their temperament, or cause people to die without illness. There are all kinds of mysteries, all kinds of mysteries, no one can understand.

Could the poison in Qin Ji's institute have anything to do with this?

Yu Mingzhi looked at Qin Ji and said seriously: "The witch doctor in Southern Xinjiang can also be considered, maybe what do they know?"

Qin Ji knew that this matter was not trivial. He was poisoned. Who did it and how he did it, he didn't have to think about it to understand.

It has to be solved as much as possible. Whatever it takes.

"Not only the famous doctor, but you can also inquire if there are any witch doctors from southern Xinjiang in the capital. He instructed Hang Yang, he had not paid attention to such a character before, so he didn't know much.

Hang Yang got the order. Then he asked, "Do you have anything else to tell Childe and Madame?"

Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji glanced at each other, understanding his thoughts. Shook his head at Hang Yang, "That's all for the time being, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Madame, you're welcome, these are things that your subordinates have changed. Since there is no other command. The subordinates hurried to do it. "Hangzhou Central Bank salutes, withdraw.

Qin Ji took Yu Mingzhi to the window and sat down, with a chessboard on the small table. He said: "We haven't played chess for a long time, it's still early. After eating too much dinner, my stomach is still a little swollen at this time, so I might as well find something to do. ”

Yu Mingzhi was worried that he had nothing to do with Qin Ji, and responded: "Okay, but I won't let you have a few more sons this time." "Qin Ji's chess skills are not good, the first few moves, she won easily, so she gave a few pieces to Qin Ji, who expected him to take advantage of this to turn the tables. He said that it was a fluke, and she let it go a few more times after coaxing, but who knew that this guy took advantage of the victory to chase and play, and his chess game was getting better and better.

No wonder she knows a little bit better about her status today.

Qin Ji hugged her and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

The two began to play chess, white as snow on one side and dark as late at night, and the chess pieces of both sides fought on the chessboard.

The battle is getting more and more exciting, and every move must be carefully considered, otherwise there will be a possibility of losing the whole game, and they seem to have forgotten their current troubles and devoted themselves to the battle on the board.

A game of chess was actually tied until the battle was reached, Yu Mingzhi saw that Qin Ji was going to put away the chess pieces, held down his hand, and said, "How about we have another game?" She didn't want to go to bed so early, even if she was already tired, although she now wanted to understand that those who wanted to kill Qin Ji could not take his life now, because it was not a good time and a favorable means at all, but she was still afraid that after Qin Ji closed his eyes, he would pass out like in the afternoon, and no one knew when it would happen.

This ignorant panic makes people feel as desperate as if they are trapped in a bottomless abyss.

She didn't want to feel it at all.

Qin Ji looked at her gently, "You are tired, you should rest early, your body is heavy." ”

Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "I'm not tired, I can still play three more games of chess." ”

Qin Ji rubbed her cheeks and said with a smile: "I'll read the official document for a while, I won't sleep, just watch you rest." ”

Yu Mingzhi stared at his smiling face and threw himself into his arms, "I want to accompany you." ”

"It's not that I woke up and never saw him again. Qin Ji comforted her, "If you don't rest well, I'll be distressed." ”

Yu Mingzhi looked up at him, "Let's go to the next plate." ”

Qin Ji sighed, there was no way to take her, "Will you sleep obediently in the next plate?"

Yu Mingzhi said: "You are not allowed to deliberately release water. ”

Qin Ji said: "Okay." ”

Yu Mingzhi's face flashed a hint of joy, divided the chess pieces, and reopened the formation.

At this time, Zhu'er came in with a decoction, which was boiled according to the old doctor's new prescription, and the hot breath alone could make people feel bitter at the tip of their nose and throat, but fortunately, Zhu'er thoughtfully prepared a plate of sweet and sour preserves.

Yu Mingzhi didn't frown, he drank the decoction directly, and then picked a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, and he was about to continue to fight with Qin Ji again.

The woman who was obviously looking at him weakly just now, but at this moment her face did not change in the face of the bitter medicine that was difficult to swallow, and she was full of pride, like a bowl of spirits. Qin Ji shook his head slightly with a smile, and continued to play chess with Yu Mingzhi seriously.

This set ended in the middle of the day, ending with Yu Mingzhi winning.

She wanted to do another game," she said...... Don't you want to win once?" she yawned as she persuaded her, and she couldn't open her eyes from sleepiness.

Qin Ji leaned over, kissed her on the forehead, and said softly, "Shall we go to sleep?"

"Sleep ......" When he said these two words, a wave of sleepiness came up, and Yu Mingzhi nodded sloppily. But then he remembered something, and opened his eyes suddenly, "No, I said that you want to win a game." ”

"There will be a chance in the future. Qin Ji said, jumped off the soft collapse, picked up Yu Mingzhi and walked to the bed, "I have to think about how to win against you." You've got to give me time to think about it, don't you?"

Yu Mingzhi leaned on Qin Ji's arms. He nodded twice, "Then can you beat me next time?"

"You'll see. Qin Ji said.

"Okay, make sure I see it. "Yu Mingzhi is too sleepy. This kind of sleepiness is a little unusual, probably because of the effect of a certain flavor medicine in the decoction, and it can't be resisted at all.

Qin Ji gently put Yu Mingzhi on the bed and took off his shoes and socks. Then he took off the pearl jackal and his coat from his head, and then called the pearl to bring hot water. Wipe her face and hands, and finally cover her with the quilt.

Seeing his wife fall asleep, he quietly told Zhu'er to take care of it and came to the study by himself. Take out a stack of official documents from a drawer.

Things have come to this point, which he had long expected.

As long as it is contaminated with the mud, it is impossible to be clean. Even if you try to clean it, there will always be some traces.

Those traces can become deadly poison. So he didn't expect what those people had promised, and he didn't expect anything in the future.

But since I had branches and family, it has become different.

What he should have done has been done, and now he is only one step away, since now he is going to drive him to a dead end and threaten his family...... There will be a thousand ways to repay those people.

Qin Ji's gaze fell on a few letters, and the fire paint on them was still intact, which meant that he had been in the drawer since he got these letters, and he had never read some of them, and he thought that maybe they would not come in handy one day.

But now it's different, it's his weapon, and it has to be used to the fullest.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Mingzhi suddenly woke up from his sleep for no reason, and immediately pressed his hand on the arm that was across his chest.

"Qin Ji?" she called softly.

"Huh?" Before he woke up, there was a hint of lowness in his voice, which was very nice and reassuring.

Yu Mingzhi turned sideways, put his hand on Qin Ji's waist, facing each other, feeling each other's breath.

She carefully observed Qin Ji's face, the morning light projected on his face through the light veil, making the skin like jade, and like an extremely fragile piece of white paper, which could be punctured with only a slight touch.

After he answered, he fell asleep again, the sound of shallow and even breathing, and the slender eyelashes that trembled slightly with his breathing.

She rubbed on the bed to get closer to him.

"Qin Ji. She shouted again.

But this time Qin Ji did not agree.

Her outstretched hand trembled, and fell on his face, caressing it like a treasure, and pulling a strand of hair that hung down her cheek behind her ear.

She just stared silently, waiting for him to wake up.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Ji didn't have to go to court for leave, and she was "pregnant" again and needed to rest more, so Zhu'er and they didn't come to bother.

Qin Ji, who had been quiet, finally let out a light sigh, and then slowly opened his eyes, with the confusion in his eyes that he would have when he just woke up.

"You're awake. Yu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and prepared to ask Zhu'er to prepare hot water and food.

"Wait a minute......"

Qin Ji's voice sounded a little hoarse and strange.

Yu Mingzhi hurriedly leaned down and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" Could it be that the symptoms of the poison are about to start to appear?

Qin Ji looked at her, his inky black eyes were as deep as the night sky, making people unable to see through or figure it out.

Her heart was inexplicably cold.

"Xiang, Xianggong?"

Qin Ji blinked, regaining his previous clear brilliance, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand to her cheek, "Branch." ”

Yu Mingzhi stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?"

Qin Ji shook his head, "No." He pinched her cheek again and smiled, "You're too nervous." ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled, "It's because I care about you." ”

Qin Ji got up and kissed her on the lips, "We have to care about something else." ”

Yu Mingzhi pretended to be upright and said, "What's the matter?"

Qin Ji said: "Other things you think." ”

"It's not serious. Yu Mingzhi glanced at him, and then called Zhu'er to prepare something.

Qin Ji put his arm around Yu Mingzhi's waist and got up, and said, "Today I need to visit an old friend, he has a withdrawn and eccentric temperament, and he doesn't like to see the living, so I can't take you with me." If Hangyang and they find a doctor, stay at home first. ”

"Who's going with you?" Yu Mingzhi didn't stop, but asked.

Qin Ji said: "Hang Xu, there are several other powerful cronies with high martial arts. Besides, I'll go out in disguise, and I'll be careful along the way. ”

Yu Mingzhi responded "good".

The maids prepared hot water and food, and when Yu Mingzhi asked, he realized that it was only time before he could do it.

If you have something in your heart, you will have trouble sleeping. She shook her head with a wry smile and sorted out the beads in the mirror.

Qin Ji stood behind her and picked out a step shake and silk flower, "It's good to bring these two today." ”

Yu Mingzhi looked at the things in his hand, and then nodded, "Listen to you." ”

Qin Ji started to put Bu Shao and silk flowers in her bun and carefully adjusted the position.

Yu Mingzhi looked at the person reflected in the mirror, and the serious and focused look on his face, and his heart swelled with complicated feelings.

"I saw that Zhu'er prepared mung bean cake, eat some, and the doctor will come to show you later. ”

Yu Mingzhi said, "Won't you stay for a while for the doctor to see?"

Qin Ji said: "I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'm in a hurry." Besides, go early and come back early, maybe when I come back. Hang Yang has found someone?"

Yu Mingzhi is hopeful.

Qin Ji took her hand, sat down at the dining table, sandwiched a piece of mung bean cake, and sent it directly to her mouth, "Come, taste a piece, this is newly made, put osmanthus flowers." ”

Yu Mingzhi took his hand and tasted it.

The fragrance of mung beans and the mellow sweetness of osmanthus are skillfully blended together, just right.

"You told the kitchen to do this, right?" she asked.

Qin Ji smiled and nodded, "Yes, I came up with a new method, I tried it, and the taste is really only a little different from what I expected." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "I like to eat very much. ”

Qin Ji said: "In the future, when I prepare mung bean cake to make a small snack, let's make it like this." ”

"Okay. Yu Mingzhi nodded happily.

Because it was almost noon, they didn't eat much, and they felt that their stomachs were almost hungry. Then Qin Ji and Hang Xu prepared in the study for a while, and when they came out again, the two young people suddenly became middle-aged in their fifties, judging from the way they dressed, they looked like cultivators who delivered vegetables to the rich families.

If she wasn't too familiar with the emotion in Qin Ji's eyes, she would almost be unrecognizable.

"How?" Qin Ji spun around in front of her.

"Fabulous. Yu Mingzhi praised.

Qin Ji rubbed Yu Mingzhi's shoulder, "Then I'll go out, I'll rush back for lunch." (To be continued.) )
