Xiao Chu didn't answer me, his dark eyes stared at me.

After a while, he asked me: "If Daye changes his surname, how would you feel?" ”

I looked at him in astonishment, unable to say a word for a long time.

Thousands of emotions were surging in my heart for a while, and I had a question that was about to come out, but I was too cowardly to speak.

Daye changed his surname, such an assumption, even the most dull people can understand what it means!

I thought about it too much, and the headache started again.

I turned around and walked a few steps, sat down in a chair by the window, closed my eyes and stopped looking at him.

Beads of sweat on his forehead rushed out, Xiao Chu breathed tightly, and finally found that there was something abnormal.

He walked a few steps quickly, hugged me in his arms and said, "But I have a headache again?" ”

I nodded, speechless, uncomfortable, I could only close my eyes and wait for the pain mixed with dizziness to subside.

"It's me who is not good," he said, holding me in his lap and hugging me tightly, with apologetic eyes in his eyes, "I may have scared you by talking like that." ”

I leaned sideways into his arms, grabbed his arm and shook his head, "It's not scared, it's worry, if there is really that day, it will be chaotic for a while, and if nothing else, I am worried about the safety of my parents." ”

"The Ye family has been working hard in Daye for many years before accumulating the current family business, not to mention my father's hard work, counting up several generations, they have experienced diligent and hard work to have this achievement now."

"Changing the surname, I think it's a little scary, you know King Ning's style of acting, now he is respected in the dynasty, not more generous than King Chen at that time, if there is a dispute between the two countries, the first one to bear is a wealthy businessman like my father."

"You don't have to think about money, but I'm afraid that safety is difficult to guarantee."

"In troubled times, on the contrary, people who are poor and white are better off, and they have nothing to worry about."

"Xiao Ling'er. I understand what you said, but you must know that the world has been in turmoil for so many years, and it is nothing more than a struggle for power, superiority, and a dispute for power and interests. "You want to live a peaceful life, maybe others don't give you a good time, and there are people who force you to take action."

I sighed and said, "I'm just a woman, I can't control anything, you have to promise me." If there is such a day. Within your means. Ensure the safety of the Ye family. "That's the only thing I want."

The candle flame illuminated Xiao Chu's face, which was so beautiful that it made my heart frighten

I don't remember when I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes, it was already slightly bright.

Mama Xu came in with a tray as usual. There was still a bowl of steaming goat's milk on top.

I was about to open my mouth to refuse, thinking of the conversation with Xiao Chu last night, my heart tightened, and I didn't let her take it down for the first time.

I picked up the bowl and opened the lid to take a sip, there was a faint fishy smell, fortunately, it was not as difficult to swallow as I imagined, so I poured down the bowl full of goat's milk in one goat.

Mama Xu has been watching my actions and seeing me finish drinking. She gave me a rare smile.

I almost didn't have a few words of praise!

She lost a beautiful hairstyle for me, and I looked at her delicate technique and couldn't help asking, "Is this the style that girls in Yingtian City like to comb?" "I've been on the street, why haven't I seen anyone else comb like this?"

Mama Xu shook her head and said, "This is the hairstyle in the palace, and today is the first time to comb it for you." In the future, you should take care of it every day, you have to get used to it. “

The rising sunlight was projected into the room through the window screen, and I sat quietly, listening to Mama Xu's words, I wanted to ask her, but the words were still pressed down to my mouth.

What's the point of me trying to find such an answer?

Every qiē is reminding me that Xiao Chu is inseparable from the imperial city in the center of Yingtian, maybe when he comes back from this trip, he will tell me and Pan! "When did Childe leave?" After a moment of silence, I still asked Mama Xu. "At the fifth watch, he had to rush to meet people early in the morning, so he left early." "Last night, you fell asleep, and he specially found a maid on duty at night."

Hearing this, I raised my head and looked at Mama Xu: "He kept watch all night?" ”

Mama Xu said in a calm tone: "Yes, he was worried about you and kept watch all night." ”

"Then why did he go to the maid on duty at night?" "For this." Mama Xu took out a piece of paper that was folded flat from her arms and spread it out in the palm of her hand to show me.

It's not the first time I've seen Xiao Chu's characters, I've seen them several times in Qinglian Nunnery, and it's a beautiful font I'm familiar with.

The names of more than a dozen herbs are clearly written on it, plus the number of times they have been taken, and the way they have been boiled.

I looked at this paper many times before I asked Mama Xu in an uncertain tone: "Childe, does he know medical skills?" “

Mama Xu nodded and did not answer.

I chuckled in my heart, something strange.

Looking back at the several times we met in Qinglian Nunnery, did he prescribe all the medicinal materials and prescriptions he brought? But he didn't seem to be cutting my pulse to the doctors I used to see.

Wrong! I fell asleep in front of him a few times, and once I fell asleep in the gazebo, so I guess it was not difficult for him to find a chance to cut his pulse.

As for asking about symptoms and observing complexion, this is easier.

But he didn't mention to me once that he knew how to heal, and I couldn't help but have some doubts.

Mama Xu looked at me for a while, then lowered her voice and said: "This kind of thing, the fewer people who know about it, the better, Gongzi is usually not very safe, if others know that he understands medical skills, it is a curse and not a blessing." “

A burst of horror flashed in my heart, and I suddenly thought of the so-called "warm-hearted person" mentioned in Xiao Chu's words a few times.

The look on his face when he mentioned the man.

I Huo Ran thought of another possibility, and couldn't help but ask, "Mama, is his family going to be unfavorable to him?" “

When Mama Xu heard such a sentence, her face changed suddenly, and she paused for a few seconds before saying, "Don't be suspicious." "If Childe thinks it's necessary, he will definitely open up to you, since he deliberately hides from you, it must be for your safety, so don't ask more." "Even if you have any doubts, wait for him to come back and tell him the day."

Mama Xu's reaction was not so much to comfort and enlighten me, but to confirm my suspicions about this matter.

The inseparable relatives in the palace want to murder, and the itinerary that suddenly changed has changed people!

My mind raced, and I thought back to the scene I encountered at the beginning a few years ago, when General Liu explained to me, and what he said when he entrusted Xiao Chu to me.

I stood up suddenly, and then sat down heavily, and after a long while, I said to Mama Xu: "Is there any danger in the place where he is going this time?" ”

Mama Xu nodded, then walked over, rubbed my hair and said, "I don't say it, you can guess it." ”

"During the days when Childe is out, you must stay in the house with peace of mind, he has already deployed more manpower to guard here."

"Let him worry less and worry, is the biggest help you give him."

Speaking of which, what can I do but be silent? There is no reason to ask any more questions.

"However, you don't have to worry too much, he has been like this all these years, if he didn't have some support, he would have been a long time ago," Mama Xu whispered, "You can wait for him to come back with peace of mind." ”

This time, the prescription is different from the previous ones, the materials used in the medicine are particularly unpleasant, and the medicine poured down every day is as bitter as Coptis chinensis, but my whole state is not right, and it is rare that I don't even complain.

I remembered that when I was in Daye, in the Ye family's house, Cui'er would go to the street to collect candied fruits of different flavors every time she coaxed me to take medicine, so that I could pour the bowls of medicine smoothly.

Now that it's Yingtian, in this house, I accidentally quit that squeamishness, if Cui'er is in front of me, I don't know if I will open my mouth wide and feel incredible.

In addition to staying in the room every day, it is difficult to go out, and the news from outside cannot reach me, but when I deliver three meals a day, I beg Mama Xu to ask Xiao Chu if there is any news from a different place, and if there is a letter for someone to send here? !

Every time I ask, I am disappointed!

After the fifth day, I didn't have any expectations, I could only think that he might not even be able to spare time to write a letter, and I found a reason for him in my heart.

Anyway, he said that he would go for ten days, and half of it was finally over.

There are still five days, and people who count the time tend to feel that time flies very slowly, so I think I need to find something to do, I can't play the dangerous game of making hair accessories, and I can still embroider.

Mama Xu obviously recognized this matter, and patiently guided me on the side, teaching me several embroidery methods that should prevail in the sky, which I had not been exposed to in Daye.

When you get busy, time flies faster.

On the eighth day without leaving home, I had a rare chance of laughing with Mama Xu in the yard, and I was holding an embroidered bandage and embroidering a bunch of orchids in my hand, which was a handkerchief prepared for Xiao Chu.

He doesn't lack anything, and my embroidery may not be much brilliant, but he embroiders it by hand, and he uses his heart and needle, and when he comes back to see it, he may like it!

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and then Mama Xu left me to pick up the comer!

It's a little guy who came, and his expression looked very anxious!

Across the garden, I could only vaguely see the expression on his face, and Mama Xu was standing with her back to me, so I couldn't see her reaction.

The two of them talked on the phone, and Mama Xu actually came back and told me that she was going out for a trip, telling me to wait with peace of mind.

After she finished explaining the following matters, she hurried out in a carriage.

I didn't have a good instinct, and I realized in my heart that there was a good chance that something was wrong!

But they deliberately concealed it, and I can't guess what it is.

I was in the courtyard, waiting on my back!!
