The carriage gradually moved away, and even the sparse sound of horses' hooves was finally hidden in the wind and rain and could not be heard, but Li Xiuming was still standing at the mouth of the alley in a daze, still looking heavy.

He is used to being willful, everything he thinks and does is casual, just like Fang Cai's final farewell, even he himself doesn't know how to say goodbye in person, but it still becomes a reluctance in the autumn rain. In fact, if you think about it, it is because he has changed, he has become soft-hearted and indecisive, but Yin Su asked to leave for a while, and he was afraid that he would never see him again.

Overhead, the rain stopped abruptly, and a red oil-paper umbrella appeared in front of him. The wind and rain were cold, Hongchen was still wearing a light gauze coat, and most of the paper umbrellas he was holding were covering Li Xiuming from the rain, and he didn't care that his shoulders and back were wet from the wind and rain. The vermilion umbrella surface is painted with gold lacquer peonies, which reflect each other with the red dust and fiery dress, and it seems that the wind of this season is not so cold.

"Master, it's cold, go back."

Li Xiuming was not in good health, and she was drenched in the autumn rain for a long time, presumably because she was going to be sick. Hongchen handed him the towel hidden in his arms, and reached out to wipe the raindrops for him without daring to assert himself.

"You're coming quickly."

"The slave maid had been waiting around Yin's mansion, but I didn't expect you to come out in the rain to see off Miss Yin. Later, I was convinced that the carriage had gone away, so I dared to show up. ”

Li Xiuming took the towel and wiped the water stains on her body, and when she faced the red dust, she seemed to change her appearance in an instant, she was a ruthless and high-minded master. The sentence "came quickly" made Hongchen not sure whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm for a while, so he had to hurriedly report for an explanation. Show that you have been doing your best these days. In fact, even without Li Xiuming's order, she would be willing to keep it, after all, there is no one in this world who is more important to her than Li Xiuming.

"How's it going?"

"All the best."

"How did you die?"

"A lot of blood was shed after the random arrow pierced, and it took about half a column of incense before he died of gasp. It wasn't fatal, enough for him to 'enjoy'. ”

"What about the other one?"

"That one was hidden in disguise, and after being found, it was taught a lesson according to your intentions, and it has been sent out of the city."

"Make sure she doesn't babble?"

"She took medicine indiscriminately and broke her throat, so naturally she can't talk nonsense anymore, and the owner can rest assured."

The handkerchief was thrown back into Hongchen's hand. Li Xiuming nodded and smiled at her. It seems that I am interested in enjoying the rain scene, and I am not in a hurry, but I walk slowly in the rain. That smile seemed to have some kind of magic power, and after Hongchen was stunned for a moment, he also smiled to himself, walked a few steps quickly, and followed closely behind Li Xiuming.

They were discussing how to kill someone to make each other feel deeply painful, and their tone was so casual that it seemed like they were casually talking about "the rain has been abundant this autumn".

The one who was killed by the random arrow was a bastard who had a small reputation in the market all year round. Although that person did a lot of hurtful things, he didn't provoke Li Xiuming. It's just one thing that has been wrong. That bastard is one of Liu Zhong's godsons outside the palace. The father-in-law has no children, thinking that he may have something to rely on when he is old enough to leave the palace, which is very good for this godson. The son's substitution death was just because Lao Tzu made a mistake, and the father-in-law was in a high position but was dizzy for a while. I just wanted to move the portrait of Yin Suwen. Li Xiuming was very angry, so naturally someone had to pay the same price for this temperament.

Of course, he also has times when he holds back his anger, usually after contaminating the Yin family. For example, the other one who was disposed of, Yin Xuanxuan, was able to save her life only because she was beaten and expelled, and it was only because Yin Su asked that she would be spared.

Li Xiuming has always been a cold person with blood-stained hands, and the people who provoked him were all bad people, and since he was a bad person, he would do the right thing for heaven on his own initiative, there was nothing wrong with it. It's just that this cold-blooded coldness has never been revealed in front of Yin Suwen, she never knew that he was such a person, and he didn't want her to know.

After returning to Fengxi Building without saying a word, and drinking a pot of hot tea after bathing and changing clothes, Li Xiuming gradually felt that the chill around her body had dissipated, and the meridians became active. The tea was freshly fried by Hongchen himself, and he was specially replaced with homemade medicinal tea because he was worried about his poor health. The bitterness of the medicine covered the fragrance of the tea, and he frowned and refused to drink it again, only holding the teacup in his palm to warm his hands.

"Master, you need to drink a few more sips of this tea, you are afraid that you will get sick with an autumn rain."

"Bitter."

"The slave and maid deliberately chose the medicinal herbs that are not too bitter and put them in, you can bear with it, it is better than having to treat it again if you get sick."

Hongchen took a plate of sauced plums and put it in front of Li Xiuming, half-coaxing and half-persuading him to drink the medicinal tea first. He has an old disease, which is caused by the poison when he was a teenager on the run, although some of the talented people under his door have reached the point where the appearance of his body is not abnormal after many years of conditioning, Hongchen knows that the old disease is dangerous, and he may not know when it will attack. Thinking of Li Xiuming's unbearable and tragic situation when she was ill, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her neck and didn't dare to think about it, so she only replaced it with a cup of medicinal tea and handed it to him.

"Miss Yin has just entered the palace, there must be a lot of things that you need to work on, and it will be easier for you to do things when you are in good health."

Hongchen was smart, so smart that he saw Li Xiuming's affection for Yin Suwen early in the morning, so an ordinary gossip became the most effective words of consolation.

Li Xiuming glanced at her in surprise, as if she was playful, but at the same time, she no longer hesitated to drink the dark tea soup.

"Don't be smart, I'm just ?????? with her"

Just what, friendship or family and friendship? Li Xiuming mentioned this relationship herself, but she couldn't think of any more suitable words to describe it for a while. The friendship of friends is too weak, and the affection of relatives and friends is too little, they are two warriors who fight side by side, like relatives and friends, but not relatives and friends. Li Xiuming had some other affection, and this relationship became complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Hongchen's face did not change and said "yes", and he had no intention of continuing to inquire deeply, because Li Xiuming was still entangled and stammering, he silently accepted the tea set and bowed and retreated. Indescribable feelings may be the most real, Hongchen has some regrets in her heart, regretting that her years of hard work have not yielded results, but at the same time she is also gratified, her master is lonely, and it is rare to have someone like Miss Yin.

Hongchen retreated quietly, and Li Xiuming leaned alone in front of the case, but he always felt that something was wrong. The atmosphere was weird, but it was a shame to mention that Yin Su asked him what he was going to explain to a servant girl inexplicably! In his selfish heart, he wanted to hide Yin Suwen's whole person, hiding in the warmest and safest place, but he turned his head but didn't want anyone to know that he had this selfishness, and it was a mess, which was exactly the case.
