"Good ......" Ji Hongye looked at Nalan Jinxiu from top to bottom with his eyes, and his tone was light and ordinary: "I've learned to contradict, right?"

"I didn't. ”

"You!" Ji Hongye just wanted to speak, but Nalan Jinxiu grabbed her sleeves with both hands, and she said, "Third brother, don't reprimand me, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

Ji Hongye's words choked in his throat, and he asked stiffly, "What's uncomfortable?"

"Well, my face hurts, my head hurts, I feel like I hurt everywhere. ”

He sighed helplessly, feeling that he would definitely not be able to say anything about it. Who knew that she would accept it if she didn't see it, and she had to pull his sleeve inch by inch, and she kept saying that she couldn't walk.

"This palace is full of guards, are you sure you want me to carry you back?"

Nalan Jinxiu thought that it seemed to be like this, if he was seen, he might not be able to tell some gossip. Forget it, she just came down from the cusp of the storm, and she doesn't want to cause any more trouble. But in the end, she was a little unwilling, she was so uncomfortable, and she was beaten again, the third brother not only did not comfort her, but also came to discipline her......

"What's wrong again?"

"I think you should coax me. ”

"Why?"

"I'm hurt. She said it reasonably, and then pointed to her red and swollen cheeks, "Look at it is all swollen like this, and it hurts to death, I really don't know how she has so much strength." ”

Ji Hongye was reprimanding her on the lips, but she still felt sorry for her in her heart, otherwise how could she come over? Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but say: "Who told you to be strong, it's so difficult to trust me?"

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, she said, "It's not that I don't believe in the third brother, I'm just afraid of causing you trouble." "You have come all the way from Jinling to Northern Xinjiang for me, I am afraid that after a long time, you will think that I am a burden, and I really don't want to cause trouble for others anymore.

She didn't say what she said later, and she felt that the third brother would definitely not want to listen to it. She didn't want to get angry with him. The king of Zhenbei did not take away her status as the county lord, which means that their marriage is still counted. Now although she has the name of the county lord in the north of the town, she will be embarrassed after all. She felt that she really had nothing to rely on except for the third brother.

Ji Hongye looked at her with his eyes, seeing that her eyes were watery, and the hand holding his sleeve was holding it tightly. He suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt as if his Ah Jin had been wronged. Even if this grievance was given by him, he couldn't bear it.

He lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead, intended to soothe, but also seemed to coax her. Nalan Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and then began to look around, looking afraid of being seen. Ji Hongye reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, no one will see it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu still felt that the third brother was becoming more and more presumptuous, in broad daylight, and in the courtyard where there were so many people, didn't he know how to avoid it? Ji Hongye was all about her now, so how could he care about others? Anyway, he would take her back to Jinling in two days, and as for how the Zhenbei Wangfu wanted to spread it, let them pass it on.

He reached out and shook her hand, leading her all the way back to the Star Picking Tower. During this period, Nalan Jinxiu struggled twice, but in the end he refused. She thought that she had already gained notoriety since Mu Li's incident anyway, and she was not afraid of being worse.

Ji Hongye originally planned to send Nalan Jinxiu back to the Star Picking Tower, so he went to Lanyue Pavilion, but seeing that her cheeks were a little swollen, he stared at her carefully and smeared the medicine. Nalan Jinxiu tossed this through, and he was a little sleepy. I wanted to sleep for a while, but Jixiang and Ruyi said that the small kitchen stewed red bean porridge, which is the most important way to replenish qi and blood. Either way, let her eat a bowl.

Nalan Jinxiu originally planned to ignore it, but Ji Hongye had to stare at her and eat. She was unwilling to do so, and she didn't dare to disobey the third brother, so she had to get up and sit at the dinner table, watch Jixiang bring a small bowl of red bean porridge, and Ruyi took a small plate of rose crisp.

She scooped a large spoonful of red bean porridge and felt that it didn't taste very good, as if there was less sugar. She took another piece of rose crisp, and after two bites, she still couldn't eat it.

Ji Hongye looked at her from the side, nibbling on the rose cake like a medicine. I had to take the red bean porridge to my side, scoop it and feed it to her. Although Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to eat it, it was hard to refuse when she saw the spoon handed to her lips, so she could only eat it. In this way, a small bowl of red bean porridge is also fed in the end.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at the light and shallow porridge mark at the bottom of the porcelain bowl, and was a little distracted. Ji Hongye stretched out his hand and hugged her, put her on the bed, and said softly: "Go to sleep!"

Nalan Jinxiu shrank into the quilt, and some began to be confused, but she still remembered telling him: "Third brother, you come back early, Jixiang said to eat fish for dinner." ”

She was probably waiting for him to remove the fishbones! Ji Hongye thought so, and his heart was still happy. Reached out and rubbed her forehead, and carefully folded the quilt for her before turning to leave.

Nalan Jinxiu was blindfolded, looking at Ji Hongye's long figure that disappeared behind the bead curtain, yawned delicately, and then slowly closed his eyes. Because she was afraid of the cold when she was a child, there was a stove burning in the house, which made people warm.

She thought that the matter of her identity had finally settled, and she would be able to return to Jinling with her third brother in a few days. After leaving Jinling for so long, I don't know what happened to my grandmother. I only heard the third brother say that she didn't have a good appetite and didn't sleep very well at night. Fortunately, she is about to go back, and she can take care of her body. When I thought about it, I was relieved, and then I fell asleep.

Nalan Jinxiu himself has the habit of introspection, that is, every day before going to bed or after waking up, he must think about what he has done recently or what is missing or inappropriate. In a daze, half-asleep, she thought of the woman who had used the Broken Intestine Grass, and she always felt that the man's eyes were inexplicably familiar to her, as if she had seen them somewhere.

She had been unsteady for the past few days, because the woman seemed to be well-trained, and she knew that she was going to die, but she still refused to reveal anything to them. As soon as the woman died, their thread was broken. Now the only thing that makes her suspicious is Shen Congqi, but after all, it is only a suspicion, and there is no conclusive evidence.

"County Lord, it's useless. The woman's hoarse voice rang in her ears again. Faintly overlapped with another somewhat hoarse voice, which said, "You save my master." ”

Nalan Jinxiu opened her eyes, and she suddenly had a particularly ridiculous idea in her heart, she thought that the woman who turned into blood was Cuizhu. But Cuizhu is obviously still there, she still saw her today, and she followed Shen Congqian.

If the woman who turned into blood was not Cuizhu, she must also be from this palace, and she must have seen it. Otherwise, why did she feel so familiar, although the woman's voice was hoarse, but the tone and demeanor of her voice ......

Where did you see it?

Nalan Jinxiu sat up with the quilt in her arms and began to think about the woman in the palace. The Zhenbei Wangfu was originally all men, and since she and Shen Congqian had them, there were maids. Some of them were bought by Ji Hongxuan from outside, and they all had a deed and went through the formalities, so there should be no problem. The other women were all brought by Shen Congqi.

Seriously, she didn't know how many maids there were now, and what they all did. In the past, she always felt that these had nothing to do with her, so she didn't waste her mind deliberately trying to understand. She felt that she couldn't continue to be muddy, and she had to go on a trip to Cangwu Rumors.

When Nalan Jinxiu arrived at Cangwu with auspicious wishes, Shen Congqian was feeding the fish. She seems to be particularly fond of goldfish, and when she is fine, she will feed in the fish tank and watch the fish scramble for it. When she saw Nalan Jinxiu coming, she was not surprised at all, as if she expected that she would definitely come to her.

"The county lord came a little later than I thought. Shen Congqian glanced at Nalan Jinxiu with a smile, lowered his head and continued to feed the fish tank.

"Really?" Nalan Jinxiu asked lightly, sat down by himself, and looked at Shen Congqian with interest.

"Why, the county lord seems to be interested in feeding the fish. ”

"No, I'm not interested at all. ”

"Then why do you keep watching?"

"I just want to see how Miss Shen fishes in troubled waters. ”

Shen Congqian smiled more and more wantonly, and there was even a hint of smugness and sarcasm in his pale glass eyes. The tone is still gentle, but it is very uncomfortable, like a needle hidden in the cotton. Under the gentle wrapping, it can hurt people at any time.

"The county lord is really good at laughing, I'm feeding the fish, where did I touch the fish?"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't plan to play dumb riddles with her anymore, the two of them had really done face work for too long, and Nalan Jinxiu had begun to be disgusted. She approached Shen Congqian and said lightly: "Cuizhu, give me some fish food, and I will also learn from Miss Shen." ”

Cuizhu stepped forward and handed a small bowl of fish food to Nalan Jinxiu. Nalan Jinxiu stretched out her hand to take it, glanced at her hand as if unintentionally, and then her eyes were full of surprise: "Cuizhu, did your wound recover so quickly?"

Cuizhu lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Slaves and maids are servants, and they have been honest since they were children. ”

"What kind of skin are you? Obviously talented, such a deep wound has no scar at all. Nalan Jinxiu pushed the fish food into Shen Congqian's hand, grabbed Cuizhu's hand and put it in front of him.

Cuizhu was naturally struggling, and Nalan Jinxiu comforted: "I'm a doctor, I'm very curious about how well your wound has recovered, you let me see how your skin is different from others." ”

Cuizhu's strength is extremely strong, and it is easy to break free from Nalan Jinxiu's hands. But Nalan Jinxiu still saw her hand clearly, it was very rough, and her fingers were slightly thicker. She was sure that it was definitely not a first-class girl, but only a pair of hands that someone who served her master closely.
