Shen Yan returned to the Hou Mansion Imperial Fragrance Garden, and picked up the book to read. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info She wants to pass the time of waiting for her by reading a book. But not long after she picked up the book, there were several noises outside the house, and she hurriedly asked Xiyu to go out and have a look. As soon as Xiyu went out, there was one more person in her room in vain. This person is not someone else, it is Huo Qing, Huo Qing, who is covered in dirt and bloodstains.

"Madame......" he called, and fell to the ground. He seemed to be unable to support it, but before fainting, he didn't forget to tell Shen Yan, "Don't let outsiders know that I ......" The sound outside the house was made by him, and the purpose was only to lure out the idle people in the house - he didn't understand Xiyu, so he naturally didn't trust her.

Shen Yan hurriedly went to the door, called Xiyu back, and then closed the door.

Xiyu returned to the house and saw a Huo Qing lying on the ground with blood in many places, and almost screamed.

Shen Yan asked her to help Huo Qing to the bed, and then ordered, "You go and call the second master." Remember, don't let anyone see it. ”

"I understand." Xiyu also knows the importance of it.

After she left, Shen Yan untied Huo Qing's belt and uncovered his clothes slightly. She saw that there were many scars on his body, and in a few places, the flesh was already blurred. These injuries are only scratched by the stones after falling off the cliff. She quickly opened his baggage and saw the brocade box left by the Empress Dowager Duanjing.

Looking at the intact brocade box, Shen Yan's heart couldn't help but be sour. Huo Qing will always use his life to defend something that cannot be compared with life, as long as these things are useful to his master. So faithful. I can't help but teach people to be moved.

Li Chengmao came over quickly. He looked at the injuries on Huo Qing's body and judged that his fainting was due to the hot weather, ulcerated wounds, and excessive blood loss. In addition, it was caused by exhaustion for several days in a row.

"How do you take the medicine? How do I clean a wound? Shen Yan asked.

"I'll have to ask the doctor." Li Chengmao thought about it and didn't forget to instruct Shen Yan, "Sister-in-law, you can get some tonic for him to feed him first." ”

Shen Yan nodded in agreement. The two went their separate ways.

That night, Huo Qing finally woke up under Shen Yan's personal care. The first thing he said was "Where did Master Hou go?" Shen Yan asked Xiyu to retreat, and only then did she tell him that Ning Anhou had gone to the capital. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be frightened, "How can Master Hou be in danger alone?" ”

"Don't worry, someone in the palace will help him." Shen Yan said.

"The people in the palace don't know that the Hou Ye is the second prince, so they won't listen to his orders." Huo Qing was still in a hurry.

"Do you know the Imperial Forest Army's second grade morning glory general? He will help Master Hou. ”

Huo Qing's brows stretched slightly after being surprised. Seeing that his face was pale, Shen Yan said thoughtfully: "You just have to rest." Hou Ye will be back soon. He will be happy to see that you are safe. ”

Huo Qing glanced at her and nodded his chin if there was nothing.

"Rest." Shen Yan got up and sat down on the soft collapse outside the curtain. She picked up the book on the table and said, "If there is anything uncomfortable, just call me if you are hungry and thirsty." ”

Huo Qing knew that she didn't find another room to sleep in, because she was afraid that others would know that he was there and would cause unnecessary trouble. For this reason, look through the curtain at her quiet back on the soft couch. He didn't say a single superfluous word. However, this was the first time he had shared a room with a woman, and this woman was still his master's woman, and he was a little uncomfortable.

He forced himself to sleep. In my dreams, I always have pictures of the bloody storms that have happened over the years. He didn't want to see such a picture, so he was a little out of breath.

"Huo Guard...... "In the scene of the fight, he heard such a woman's voice. It's so gentle and considerate. He finally popped open his eyelids and saw Shen Yan frowning slightly and leaning over to look at his face.

See him wake up. Her brow furrowed, on her good-looking face. also bloomed a flower-like smile, "Huo Guard, but you have a nightmare?" ”

How could anyone have cared about his dreams at such a time? His heart melted because of this greeting, "I ......" lowered his eyes, and he found himself holding her hand tightly, he hurriedly flicked away, and his gaze evaded: "Madam, please forgive me for being rude!" ”

His cold appearance added a lot of panic at this moment, and Shen Yan felt funny when he saw it. She shook her head with a light smile and comforted, "Sleep well." Hou Ye treats you as his own brother, Hou Ye's home is your home, I am Hou Ye's person, and I will treat you as a relative. Sleep well and sleep in peace. ”

Mother. These two words flashed quickly in Huo Qing's mind. He was puzzled, she was obviously much younger than himself, how could he think of the word "mother". What is the meaning of motherhood? He never experienced it.

Early the next morning, Jiao Huaiyu went to the Imperial Fragrance Garden as usual to invite Shen Yan to go to the East Garden to greet Wei Min. At that time, Shen Yan was dressing up, and Jiao Huaiyu ran into the inner room by herself, and she was frightened. The movements of Xiyu's hands also froze, but I was afraid that Jiao Huaiyu would be bad when she saw Huo Qing lying on the bed. Huo Qing was lying on the bed, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

Shen Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "It's just right that Sister Huaiyu is here." Come and help me see, am I wearing this jade step shake today, or this silver step shake is better? ”

"My sister is going out today? Otherwise, how could it be so exquisite? Although Jiao Huaiyu had doubts for a moment, he still stepped forward with a smile and helped Shen Yan pick the silver step, "This is good, this is more suitable for my sister's clothes today." ”

Shen Yan listened to her words, and asked Xiyu to help her put on the silver step shake. Then, she got up and took Jiao Huaiyu's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go see Sister Min Min together." Saying that, she tossed and turned, deliberately using her body to block Jiao Huaiyu's possible sight on the bed.

Thrilling to walk out the door, she was relieved. She instructed Xiyu: "You don't have to accompany me." She asked her to stay and take care of Huo Qing.

Xiyu should be "yes". But just as Shen Yan and Jiao Huaiyu took another step, a coughing sound suddenly came from inside, which shocked the weak-hearted people almost to disperse.

"What sound?" Jiao Huaiyu said and wanted to go into the house to take a look, "There seems to be someone in the house, sister." ”

"Where would anyone be?" Shen Yan smiled and hurriedly told Xiyu to go into the house to take a look.

Xiyu is pretending, and naturally says that there is no one. Jiao Huaiyu frowned and muttered, "I clearly heard the voice." ”

"Didn't Mrs. Erping hear it wrong?" Xiyu asked intentionally.

Jiao Huaiyu thought about it, and finally smiled with relief, "Maybe I heard it wrong." She took Shen Yan's arm and said happily, "Let's go, let's go see Sister Minmin." ”

Shen Yan's heart was relieved and she smiled. What she didn't know was that after taking many steps, Jiao Huaiyu still glanced back at the bright room of the Imperial Fragrance Garden.

On this day, Li Chengqi and Jiao Huaiqing returned. They came back together. Jiao Shi and the others asked how they went to the capital and Yongzhou to the other, and they only laughed. Except for Shen Yan and Li Chengmao, no one in the Hou Mansion knew what they had done.

Li Chengqi soon came to Yuxiangyuan to meet Huo Qing. At this time, Huo Qing's complexion was much better than when he arrived at the Hou Mansion last night, but Li Chengqi still felt a little guilty when he saw it. However, he stroked the crook of his shoulder, and did not say a word of warmth.

Huo Qing told him: "The emperor and the queen mother attach great importance to this brocade box, and they also attach great importance to Master Yuanzhi, otherwise, they will not chase after me after I rescue Master Yuanzhi." ”

Li Chengqi nodded, but his expression was particularly gloomy. He said, "Master Yuan Zhen is dead. ”

With the help of Wei Jiuting in the capital, he met Master Yuanzhi. The Queen Mother and the Emperor Liu Zhuo had his feet and hands cut off. When Li Chengqi saw him, he was already half dead. After he told Li Chengqi the secret of the brocade box, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

"Master Yuanzhen, do you know your identity?" Shen Yan's hand gently grabbed Li Chengqi's forearm. She looked at him with pity and pity in her eyes.

Li Chengqi nodded, but he said: "After telling Master Yuan Zhi my identity, he wanted to commit suicide, I regret it......"

Shen Yan hurriedly shook his head, "There is no need to regret it, he must be very happy to know that you are still alive." He must have chosen to commit suicide because of ...... Now that the wish has been fulfilled, it is better to ...... than to live and be pondered like that So he chose to die. ”

Li Chengqi didn't say anything, he only looked at Huo Qing and said, "You take care of your injuries, take care of your injuries, and go to the border city with me." ”

"Border city? So far away, what are you going to do? "The border city is in the place where the Northern Zhou and the Southern Zhao meet, and it is almost two months away from Ning'an City. Shen Yan asked like this, and also thought of something, so she asked again: "Isn't it the treasure of the previous dynasty in the border city?" ”

As soon as she guessed, Li Chengqi nodded, "The royal family of the previous dynasty wanted to escape to Nanzhao and was captured in the border city. The treasure they brought with them was hidden in the border city. ”

"That's fine." Shen Yan thought for a while and asked, "Then apart from Huo Guard, do you plan to bring others with you?" ”

"Huaiqing will go with me." Li Chengqi said.

"Him?" Shen Yan couldn't understand why he wanted to take Jiao Huaiqing with him.

"The treasure is hidden in an ancient tomb in the border city, and Huaiqing, who knows a little about the secret schemes of the agency, takes him there, maybe it will be useful to him."

Shen Yan didn't know that Jiao Huaiqing had this talent. However, since Li Chengqi said so, she doesn't need to think about it. It's just that she doesn't know what awaits her in at least four months to go back and forth to the border city. She never thought that Li Chengqi would leave her for so long.

It wasn't until the moment when he said he was going to travel far away that she felt that she was a little inexplicably afraid of his departure.

Huo Qing's injuries still need time to heal, and Li Chengqi will set off for the border city, and there are still some days. Therefore, he just noticed the slightest change on Shen Yan's face, and he didn't say anything to instruct. It's still too early to do anything.

In the dead of night, he asked Huo Qing to go to his main courtyard to rest, intending to let Xianglan serve him secretly. And just when Huo Qing came out of the Imperial Fragrance Garden, there was a figure hiding behind the flower garden in the dark night. This figure is not someone else, it is Jiao Huaiyu.
