"Xiao Ying, when did Xiao Gongzi go out?"

On the couch, the weak Zhao Qing'er was half-leaning on the edge of the couch, and beside her was a small window, through which she could see the gate outside the courtyard.

After a day's rain, the rain gradually became much lighter, and the water falling from the eaves slowly stopped flowing, and the annoying ticking sound gradually disappeared as the rain continued to fall.

After Zhao Qing'er woke up, she had been leaning against the window and looking out of the window, she was waiting for Xiao Jin's return.

A bowl of rice was placed next to her couch, but she never took a bite, and only after Xiao Ying took the food and heated it several times, she asked Xiao Ying.

"Miss, Mr. Xiao went out in the morning, saying that he was looking for a medical officer for you, but then the medical officer came, but Gongzi did not come.

Listening to the father-in-law who came with the medical officer, the prince was called by the prince. ”

Zhao Qing'er nodded, and didn't speak again, Xiao Ying on the side picked up the food and brought it to her, but Zhao Qing'er shook her head and said:

"Go out in the morning, it's almost dark, why hasn't Xiao Gongzi come back yet.

I can't eat, so you can put it there first. ”

"Miss, I think that Xiao Gongzi must have something important to do, so he didn't come back so late.

He invited a medical officer for Miss, hoping that Miss would recover soon.

You eat some food first, then drink the medicine, and we'll wait for him."

If you carry it like this and break your body, Xiao Gongzi will definitely blame me for not serving you well. ”

Zhao Qing'er listened to Xiao Ying's slightly aggrieved story, looked back at her, and suddenly smiled at the corners of her mouth, and stretched out her hand to serve the food in Xiao Ying's hand.

It's just that as soon as she stretched out her hand, she found that her arm was completely out of strength, so she smiled bitterly at Xiao Ying.

"Miss, don't move, I'll feed you."

Xiao Ying hurriedly sat down beside Zhao Qing'er and fed her the food one bite at a time.

"Childe is really a dragon among people, when Miss secretly ran out of the house, Xiaoying was still worried about Miss, if we met a liar, what can we do with the master and servant.

Who knew that Xiao Gongzi was not only a good person, but also so capable.

Miss, you must not know, these days I have been shopping on the street for groceries, and everyone is talking about Xiao Gongzi.

What did Mr. Xiao say that Mr. Xiao drove six horses made of white dragons and landed on the battlefield in the afterglow of the setting sun, and in just an instant, tens of thousands of Chu ** teams turned into powder.

Hahaha, do you say that Xiao Gongzi is so powerful? ”

Xiao Ying said with a smile while feeding Qing'er.

Zhao Qing'er listened to her Lang Jun being praised, although she was tired, she was also happy in her heart, so she turned her head and looked out the window again with a smile on her face.

The empty gate of the courtyard is still quiet, and the expected lover has never appeared.

"Xiao Jin, you've done everything you need to do.

When you come back, we'll go, and the ends of the earth can be our home. ”

Zhao Qing'er looked at Xiao Ying, who turned to leave, and muttered to herself at the window.

The sky had completely darkened, and a sweet medicinal fragrance from the courtyard entered the house where Zhao Qing'er lived.

It seems that the rain has completely stopped, otherwise why would the courtyard be so quiet in the dark?

Zhao Qing'er, who could no longer see the courtyard gate, became more and more anxious in her heart, she had wanted to get up and go out to find Xiao Jin countless times, but no matter how hard she tried, she was always weak and couldn't use any strength.

Last night she had a nightmare, in which she floated like Chang'e into the moonlight, while Xiao Jin knelt on the ground and watched

He couldn't stop crying, and the way he cried made his heart hurt incomparably.

But he couldn't speak, let alone control his body, so he could only gradually drift into the distance, watching Xiao Hibiscus being swallowed up by the darkness.

When she woke up, she really disappeared Xiao Jin, which made Zhao Qing'er remember the dream last night and be afraid.

Until the three poles of the day, until the dark night falls.

Zhao Qing'er became more and more afraid, more and more afraid.

"Bang bang!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking sound at the gate of the courtyard, which broke the silence around and made Zhao Qing'er's heart throb.

Zhao Qing'er frowned in pain, and was about to call Xiao Ying, who was boiling medicine in the kitchen, but heard that the door had been pushed open.

"Who?"

Xiao Ying's exclamation suddenly sounded in this fall, and the knock on the door made her put down the medicine she was boiling and went out of the house to check, but found that many people pushed the door into the courtyard, how could Xiao Ying not be afraid.

"Don't be afraid, girl, your young lady can be in the back room?"

A polite question came into Zhao Qing'er's ears, and this voice instantly made her let down her guard in her heart.

"Who are you, what are you looking for my young lady?"

Xiao Ying in the courtyard didn't know who it was, although listening to the person's conversation was not like a reckless man, Xiao Ying still asked uneasily.

"Xiaoying, it's Uncle Gu, please come in."

As soon as Xiao Ying heard Miss's words, she suddenly understood that it was Mr. Gu Daoyuan, who was the most famous in the Zhao Mansion, that she was stopping, so she quickly knelt on the ground and begged.

But Gu Daoyuan heard Zhao Qing'er's weak voice, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ying's arm and said:

"Is Miss sick?

I smell medicine, but you're boiling it? ”

Xiao Ying was grabbed by Gu Daoyuan's arm, but she didn't dare to move, so she had to open her eyes wide and nodded.

"Then you go boil the medicine." After saying that, he let go of Xiao Ying's hand and said to the few people behind him:

"Stay at the door."

The people behind him were naturally Gu Daoyuan's guards, and they hurriedly responded to the master's order, turned around and walked out of the door.

Gu Daoyuan walked straight into the room where Zhao Qing'er had made a voice just now.

After Gu Daoyuan entered the room, he did not enter the inner room, but stood in the outer hall and saluted the inner room, and then he found a seat and sat down.

"Miss, if you are very sick, I will go to Lang Zhong to see the illness for you."

Gu Daoyuan said to Zhao Qing'er through the screen. The words are full of the concerns and anxieties of the elders.

"Uncle Gu, in the morning, Xiao Jin had already found the medical officer in the palace to see me, saying that I was infected with a cold, and I would be able to raise it for a few days with some medicine. Uncle Don't bother. ”

A weak voice came from the inner room, and Gu Daoyuan nodded when he heard this, and stopped insisting.

He just wanted to speak, but he heard Zhao Qing'er ask weakly:

"Uncle Gu came to the cottage late at night to tell me about Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, what's wrong."

Gu Daoyuan sighed slightly when he heard Zhao Qing'er pretending to be calm, but he couldn't hide the trembling voice in his words.

"It's been almost two months since Miss went out this time, and the middle school and several ladies in the house want to come and miss Miss, I'm going back to Qin tomorrow, please go back with me."

As soon as Gu Daoyuan's words fell, he suddenly heard a noise in the inner room, and Gu Daoyuan hurriedly stood up.

But he couldn't rush into the inner boudoir, and when he was in a hurry, he saw Xiao Ying walking in with a bowl of medicine.

Gu Daoyuan hurriedly took the medicine from Xiao Ying's hand

Come, and say to Xiao Ying:

"Come in and see Miss."

Xiao Ying looked at Gu Daoyuan's anxious face, so she hurriedly entered the inner room.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you, get up quickly, Miss."

Gu Daoyuan listened to Xiao Ying's words, and he was also shocked, so he couldn't take care of it anymore, and walked straight into the inner room.

I saw that Zhao Qing'er had fainted on the ground, no matter how Xiao Ying called her, Zhao Qing'er still had her eyes closed.

A trail of blood oozed from her forehead, apparently caused by her falling to the ground after passing out on the couch.

Gu Daoyuan didn't say a word, he hurriedly picked up Zhao Qing'er from the ground and put him on the bed, turned around and walked out of the house, calling his personal soldiers to invite Langzhong.

Also in the post house, this small courtyard was not very far from Gu Daoyuan's residence, and after a while, Lang Zhong, an entourage sent by the Qin State, came to Zhao Qing'er's house.

After a burst of silver needles pricked, Zhao Qing'er let out a "mum" and opened her eyes.

Na Langzhong carefully checked Zhao Qing'er's pulse, and then looked at the medicinal materials left by the medical officer of Qi State in the early days, and then got up and saluted Gu Daoyuan:

"What this young lady got was a cold, and there was no problem with the medicine prescribed by the medical officer of Qi State, but for some reason, this young lady was depressed, so it aggravated her condition."

Gu Daoyuan waved his hand at Na Langzhong, signaling him not to say any more.

Na Langzhong knew that it was powerful, so he gave Gu Daoyuan a salute and walked out of the house.

Looking at Zhao Qing'er's confused and empty eyes, Gu Daoyuan felt heartache as if he was looking at his daughter.

Gu Daoyuan has been on duty in the Zhao Mansion for a long time, so he met Zhao Qing'er when she was very young.

Over the years, Gu Daoyuan, the children in Zhao's mansion, have also taught knowledge, so when he saw Zhao Qing'er like this, Gu Daoyuan was a little sad.

"Uncle Gu, it doesn't matter Qing'er, don't be afraid, uncle."

Just when Gu Daoyuan was sitting a little helplessly on the side in a daze, Zhao Qing'er suddenly cheered up and said to Gu Daoyuan.

Gu Daoyuan looked at Zhao Qing'er with a wry smile, but heard her ask himself again:

"Is Xiao Jin dead? Why did he die? Killed by whom? ”

A series of questions came out of Zhao Qing'er's mouth calmly, which made Gu Daoyuan feel a little surprised.

Zhao Qing'er saw that Gu Daoyuan didn't answer his question, and thought that he didn't know the reason, so he smiled slightly and said:

"Uncle Gu, you might help Qing'er inquire about this?"

"What's the matter?"

As soon as Gu Daoyuan opened his mouth, he immediately understood that Zhao Qing'er wanted him to inquire about Xiao Jin's death, why he died, and who killed him.

Gu Daoyuan looked at Zhao Qing'er's calm face, and suddenly he said with some shock: "Do you want to avenge Xiao Jin?" ”

Zhao Qing'er saw that Gu Daoyuan guessed it, so she smiled and said with difficulty:

"Uncle Gu, you help me inquire about this matter clearly, I will return to China with you tomorrow, I want to return to Qin to lead the troops, and one day I will avenge Xiao Jin."

Gu Daoyuan's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Qing'er, who was struggling to sit up and suddenly drank the medicine brought by Xiao Ying in one go.

After being silent for a long time, he said softly:

"Xiao Jin is not dead, but he is also dying."

Zhao Qing'er, who was drinking medicine, was shocked when she heard this, and coughed violently.

She ignored the potion that trickled her body, and asked Gu Daoyuan with a happy face: "Uncle Gu, isn't Xiao Jin dead yet?" ”

Gu Daoyuan shook his head, and told Zhao Qing'er what came out of the Qi Kingdom today.
