Ning Nan left the north courtyard, and Xiao Cui and Qianshan, who had been waiting outside, dared to go to the bedroom.

When I entered the door, I saw the female monarch leaning on the cushion behind the bookcase, holding a bamboo book tightly with her slender hand, looking at it with relish.

Xiaocui entered the door and saw Jiang Chengjia's rare good looks, and couldn't help but be happy for her: "The male monarch came to the North Courtyard, and the female monarch even looked much better, sure enough... It's not enough to have a hostess in this north courtyard..."

She smiled and teased, and walked towards Jiang Chengjia with the decoction in her hand.

This thick and pungent bitter and sour smell drifted along the cool breeze blowing in front of the door to Jiang Chengjia in front of the window. She couldn't help frowning, looked at the food table held by Xiao Cui with a pair of blank eyes, covered her nose and said, "I only drank a bowl of soup medicine in the morning, why do you have another bowl now?" ”

Qian Shan took the food table where the candied fruit was placed, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Girl, don't ask... Asking is for your own good. ”

Jiang Chengjia raised his eyebrows, cast his gaze at Qianshan, and said with a smile: "Your eloquence is getting better and better now?" ”

Qian Shan smiled and shook her head, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Xiao Cui and Qian Shan looked at each other and smiled, put the food table in their hands in front of Jiang Chengjia in turn, and stared at their own female monarch with blank eyes.

Jiang Chengjia smelled the bowl of decoction that exuded a bitter smell, looked at Qianshan's serious expression again, couldn't help but sigh, pinched his nose, and drank the soup.

When this medicine entered her mouth, Jiang Chengjia got goosebumps all over her body, extremely bitter and sour, which made her can't help but feel sick to her stomach.

She hurriedly stuffed two candied fruits to relieve the bitter taste.

Xiao Cui looked at Jiang Chengjia throwing away the medicine bowl in disgust, her brows were tightly locked, and her face was full of vegetables, so she couldn't help but smile: "The appearance of the female monarch drinking medicine is no different from that of a child, and the slave maid has served the male monarch with medicine." At that time he was still young, but fourteen or fifteen years old, and the slave maid was only seven years old. The slave could cry just by smelling the medicine, but the man didn't even blink his eyes, so he drank it. At that time, no one handed him candied fruit, and he probably swallowed all the bitterness in his stomach. The slave maid was young, and she was curious why the man didn't feel the bitterness of the medicine, so she asked him. The male gentleman only told the slave maid one sentence, no matter how bitter the medicine is, it is also a good thing to benefit the body and heart, not to mention that there are more bitter things in this world than medicine, so it is not bitter to think about it. ”

Xiao Cui talked about a trivial incident in her childhood, her eyebrows were curved, and the corners of her mouth curled lightly: "The male monarch is actually a very gentle man. The slave maid was miserable as a child, and if it wasn't for the male monarch to save her, I am afraid that she would have died in a mass grave and her bones would have been gone. Therefore, the slave maid really hopes that the male monarch can find a woman who really treats him well. ”

It's just a trivial matter, but Xiao Cui remembers it very clearly, the little girl's mind is very simple, she just thinks that Ning Nan is a man who treats her well like her brother, and in addition to admiration for him, there is also a trace of admiration. This kind of admiration is different from the relationship between men and women, and she hopes that the male monarch can have happiness in her heart.

Jiang Chengjia stared at Xiao Cui's smiling face, and his heart warmed up.

"Xiao Cui's thoughts, I understand." She said softly.

Xiao Cui nodded and grinned, then took the two food tables, made a salute and retreated.

When she walked away, Jiang Chengjia sighed and said, "Xiaocui lives freely, and the shackles have been removed. I hope she doesn't know her background in the rest of her life. ”

Qianshan sighed: "The girl rescued Xiaocui in a thousand strokes, and then pulled the string, and asked her uncle to take her back to the palace, which has given her the best shelter... I'm afraid there is no one in this world who wants to protect Xiaocui more than the prince. ”

Jiang Chengjia stared and said, "It's just... I couldn't save her two brothers. ”

Qian Shan comforted: "Although the girl failed to find Xiaocui's two elder brothers, she has not heard of the death of these two sons over the years. Perhaps, these two sons are incognito... It is not certain where you are living a good life. ”

Jiang Chengjia glanced at her, frowned deeply, and said, "I hope so." ”

Qian Shan slightly bent the corners of her mouth and whispered, "Girl... You're frowning... I haven't been loose in the past two months. She gently put her finger on Jiang Chengjia's eyebrows, wanting to stretch the tip of her eyebrows.

"Qianshan?" Jiang Chengjia called softly, "The medicine that Xiaocui brought just now... But Aunt Yun Geng gave it? "Hot search

Qian Shan was stunned, but she was not much surprised to see that she had just come out, she nodded and said, "It does add the pill given by Aunt Yun Geng." The slave was afraid that you wouldn't eat it, so she took it upon herself to incorporate it into the prescription decoction prescribed for you by Doctor Sun. ”

Jiang Chengjia took a deep breath, only to feel a surging aura surging in her abdomen, she was a little strange, and she felt that something was wrong after slowly breathing: "I just drank that medicine, and I felt that the spiritual energy of the muscles and veins was stirring." Aunt Yun Geng is not.... Channeled her own cultivation into the pill? ”

Qian Shan had never thought of this, but now when she heard it, she was a little shocked in her heart: "If... So... Isn't that Aunt Yun Geng..."

Jiang Chengjia only felt a warm current surging through his heart, and said softly: "My aunt is not indifferent and ruthless, and she has never blamed me, she still treats me as a child." Maybe.. It's because of my own prejudices in the past, and I always feel that she is too cold-blooded to enforce the law in Nanyundu. ”

Qian Shan's heart also fluctuated, last night Yun Geng's iron face was ruthless, no matter how she asked, she refused to spare Jiang Chengjia because of her personal feelings, and forcibly cut Jiang Chengjia's life span for 700 years, but she still couldn't bear to give the pill to mediate Jiang Chengjia's internal injuries. Speaking of... Perhaps Aunt Yun Geng feels more sorry for Jiang Chengjia's life than her.

She lowered her eyes and couldn't help but say, "My aunt is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she was indeed harsh in the past, but I have never seen who she really punished." ”

Jiang Chengjia shook her hands, looked out the window, remembered everything in Nanyun Capital, and secretly made up her mind in her heart that when she broke the curse imposed by the Emperor of Heaven on Fu Yang, she would definitely live up to Yun Geng's expectations, return to Nanyun, and protect Lingyue Valley.

Although the master and servant are thinking differently at the moment, they both hope to successfully break the curse as soon as possible, let the earth return to the Nine Heavens, and end this mortal journey.

After a moment of silence, Qian Shan remembered something, so she called out, "Girl, today... But do you want to go to Zhuangzi outside the city in person and see Song Yang? That kid had been in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Linhe for more than half a month. If you go today, you might as well bring black tea and water. ”

Jiang Chengjia frowned and said: "Song Yang and Zhou Yuanmo have met a few times, and they can no longer enter Guangzhou, and the position of the lord of Guangxin needs to be changed." ”

Qian Shan nodded and said, "The slave maid has thought of this matter, so she notified Fourth Uncle Fang early and ordered him to send someone to replace Song Yang... It's just that Song Yang, this kid has always been alert, and his martial arts are also excellent, it is said that he can live seven or eight moves with Candle Shadow, if he exercises again, he will be a usable talent in the future, if he is due to... He had a face-to-face with Zhou Yuanmo... He cut off his path to the cabinet... I'm afraid of some.."

She didn't finish her words, and raised her eyes to observe Jiang Chengjia's expression.

"In that case, let him come to me." Jiang Chengjia said lightly: "Now that Candle Shadow has returned to the capital, he is around my brother, and there is no guard by my side, so I just transferred him and followed me from now on." ”

"The girl is... Want to promote him directly to personal guard? Qianshan was a little surprised.

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "This time, let him enter the mansion with black tea and Shuihe." ”

Song Yang was young and vigorous, and he was also a little reckless. Qian Shan thought that Jiang Chengjia might transfer him back to Huiji to preside over the affairs of the Water Pavilion, but she didn't expect her to directly promote Song Yang to a personal guard who crossed the pavilion and directly obeyed the orders of the pavilion master.

Qian Shan still wanted to ask in detail, but after thinking about it, maybe this young man named Song Yang had some talent or quality that Jiang Chengjia valued, so he stopped asking and was silent.

Jiang Chengjia saw that she was puzzled, so he explained warmly: "Song Yang, Shuihe and Black Tea have lived in the same place outside the city in Zhuangzi for half a month, and both Black Tea and Shuihe are from Jianye Yegong Pavilion, he is alert and lively, has a sweet mouth, and is still young. I must have gotten along very well with these two people for half a month. Maybe you can learn something from the black tea and the water river..."

Qian Shan suddenly understood: "It turns out that the girl... Half a month ago, the reason why Song Yang took Shuihe and black tea to the suburbs of Zhuangzi to live and wait... Do you want to know something about the Yegong Pavilion from these two people? ”

Jiang Chengjia shook his head and said: "It's not all about exploring the affairs of the Yegong Pavilion, Zhou Yuanmo doesn't care at all whether the black tea and the water river are taken away by my people, and he has never kept them, I think these two people know very little about the affairs of the Yegong Pavilion." ”

Qian Shan wondered, "That... Master, why is that? ”

Jiang Chengjia stared, and his expression became serious: "Shuihe and Black Tea are about sixteen or seventeen years old, after I fainted Shuihe in Lengquanzhuang, I pretended to be her, and learned that Shuihe was in the Yegong Pavilion that I only entered three years ago. Do you remember... What happened to Jianye three years ago? ”

Qian Shan scratched her head and thought about it carefully, only then did she remember that three years ago, Yangzhou found that Chang Mengjun was on the run, and there were not a few, and it was found that more than 20 people Chang Mengjun had successfully escaped from the soldiers, Ning Zheng took the name of defending the first emperor, and pursued this group of people. At this time, there was an uproar in the government and the opposition, after all, Emperor Wei was a student of Lu Fuzi, after the reverse case, he had always refused to believe that his teacher would do such a thing, so he also privately looked for evidence of rehabilitation for half a year, but he found that Chang Mengjun was the rebel scale of the first emperor, and he couldn't touch it at all.

Now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, when he heard this at first glance, he naturally wanted to try his best to prevent Ning Zheng from continuing to hunt down and kill the old people of Chang Mengjun, but because Ning Zheng was dominant in the court, and he had very little real power in his hands, not to mention that these people were involved in a reverse case that had not been rehabilitated, he could not blatantly save people. So he could only secretly send the Praetorian Guards to Jianye to inquire about the whereabouts of the more than 20 people, trying to save their lives.
