Qi Niang left the Luomei Inn with a wrench, and as soon as she walked outside, she saw a familiar figure standing under the plum tree, Jiang Qihan was dressed in blue, his head was slightly tilted, and he could see the plum blossoms on the branches. &, blowing his robe and long hair, and the plum blossoms on the trees fell one after another, and the flowers and snow were mixed together, and they fluttered in the air, and it was impossible to distinguish which were flowers and which were snow. I don't know why, Qi Niang always felt that the people under the tree were very far away from her, as if they would disappear with the wind at any time, she felt empty in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Qihan, why are you here?"

"This morning, a father-in-law in the palace asked me to diagnose his nephew who lives in the outer city, saying that he was infected with a strange disease, and suddenly he couldn't speak, and I didn't tell you when I saw that you were sleeping soundly."

"What about the situation, does it matter?"

Jiang Qihan shook his head, "I can't diagnose what kind of illness that child has." ”

Qi Niang couldn't help but be surprised: "There are still diseases in this world that you can't diagnose?" ”

Jiang Qihan touched his chin, stared at Qi Niang with interest for a long time, and then said seriously: "Actually, the child was not sick at all, but he was scolded by his parents for doing something wrong, and he was angry with his parents, so he didn't talk to them for three days, and his parents were anxious, so they asked for a doctor for the child, but they couldn't diagnose or treat the reason." ”

Qi Niang nodded and asked, "Then how did you know the 'cause' after that?" ”

Jiang Qihan smiled and said: "I know that I am emotional and reasonable, and the child is defenseless against me, so he naturally recruited me from the truth." ”

Qi Niang looked at him with admiration and quipped: "Qi Han is really powerful!" Not only is his medical skills superb, but he can even know what people are thinking, could it be that Qihan also has the ability to see through people's hearts? ”

Jiang Qihan suppressed a smile and was silent for a while before saying, "Meng Meng really thinks so? ”

Qi Niang nodded seriously and said, "I've always thought so, Qi Han seems to be able to easily understand people's thoughts." If it were someone else, it might be difficult to find the crux of the problem. ”

Jiang Qihan was stunned for a while, with helplessness and a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said softly: "Even though I can see through everyone's hearts, I can't understand only one person." ”

Qi Niang looked at him suspiciously, but Jiang Qihan immediately changed the topic, smiled slightly, and said, "Meng Meng's matter is finished?" ”

Qi Niang was slightly surprised, "You know I'm coming here?" ”

Jiang Qihan raised his hand and picked up a petal on Qi Niang's shoulder, and said, "After I finished my errand, I wanted to go back to the palace, but I saw you from afar, so I followed you out of the city." ”

"Why didn't Qihan call me?"

Jiang Qihan's expression was complicated, and he looked at Qi Niang's eyes a little unpredictable, "Actually, I called you, but you didn't hear it, I saw that you lost your soul, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I followed you far behind......"

Qi Niang looked at him dumbly, unable to say a word.

Jiang Qihan looked at her, the fingers hanging by his side flexed, and then spread out helplessly, took Qi Niang's hand and held it in the palm of his hand, tilted his head and said warmly: "Why do you love more and more?" It's cold outside, let's go back. ”

"Well, it's a good ......," Qi Niang replied, letting him take his hand and walk towards the city.

Along the way, Jiang Qihan kept walking in front, silent, as if full of thoughts. Passing by the old couple's house, Qi Niang saw a large group of people outside, all looking inside, she felt strange, so she took Jiang Qihan's hand and said, "Qi Han, wait, what's going on over there, let's go and see." ”

Jiang Qihan grabbed her, his face was expressionless, and he said indifferently: "It's just a farce staged every day in the market, there's nothing to see, let's go back to the palace early." ”

Qi Niang looked back hesitantly, and saw that Jiang Qihan always looked indifferent, so she didn't insist anymore. However, as soon as he walked a short distance, he heard a sentence from the crowd: "The child is really pitiful, he doesn't know what evil he has done, and he will suffer this sin at a young age, alas, ......."

Qi Niang's heart trembled, and she hurriedly grabbed a passer-by and asked, "What happened to that family?" ”

The passer-by was stunned for a moment when she asked, then glanced at Jiang Qihan beside her, and stammered, "I...... I don't know, you, if you want to know, just go and see for yourself. With that, he ran to the side.

Qi Niang suddenly felt uneasy, and hurriedly ran to the old couple's house, pushed aside the crowd, only to hear the cry from the house, Qi Niang ran into the house, and saw the eldest mother holding the boy, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. Qi Niang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she said angrily: "What the hell is going on?!" ”

The eldest lady cried and replied: "After the girl left, two soldiers took Xiao Gu away, and when she came back, it was already like this...... The child is innocent...... Why don't you let even the little ones go? ”

Qi Niang wanted to step forward to see the boy, but was suddenly pulled back by a hand, and then fell into a solid chest, Jiang Qihan supported Qi Niang's head with his hand, let her lean on his shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "I know you are very angry now, but the matter has come to this point, you can't change the result after you see it, so don't cause sadness in vain." ”

Qi Niang's body was stiff, and a surge of anger surged up, and she asked Jiang Qihan with some incomprehension: "Did you already know that they were going to take Xiao Gu away?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Qihan did not hide a trace.

Qi Niang's heart was mixed, her chest was uncomfortably blocked, she stood in a daze, Jiang Qihan pulled her up and walked outside. Walking to an open and uninhabited place, Jiang Qihan let go of her hand, stared at her for a moment and said, "Okay, you can ask me if you have anything." ”

Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan with some disbelief, and said, "That kid is innocent, he shouldn't suffer such a thing, Qihan, you can stop it." He was rescued by me, and he could have lived well in White Night City, but he died so inexplicably? Then I might as well have left him to fend for himself. ”

Jiang Qihan stared at her quietly, with a faint anger and sadness in his eyes, "That child is innocent, am I not innocent?" My wife was sympathetic to other men on the battlefield and was carried back naked by other men, and I could only speculate in the whispers of others. You don't know how many times I've wanted to ask you, to hear you say that you have nothing to do with him, but I didn't tell you about it because I was afraid that I would go to him without hesitation when I found out. But you finally got it, and I wish you had been kept in the dark forever so that I wouldn't see you lose your soul when you heard from him. If I were your brother, maybe I would do the same thing as him, and now that someone has been punished for disobeying his orders, what can I stop from doing? Even if the child escaped this fate, the old couple would not have escaped death if their tongues were cut out. You feel sorry for that child, have you ever thought about that old couple? ”

Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan in a daze, it turned out that Jiang Qihan knew all this, but he didn't ask her for half an explanation, he didn't question her, but he was alone and silently endured the hurt brought to him by these gossips. However, Qi Niang not only didn't understand him, but instead put the responsibility on this person who loved him deeply. She didn't know that her complaining words were more hurtful than rumors. Qi Niang was suddenly full of guilt and regret, she stepped forward and hugged Jiang Qihan, her heart was sour, "I'm sorry, Qihan, I shouldn't have sprinkled my anger on your head, you are not wrong, I am too impulsive." I just saw that kid and thought of our Ning'er, I really missed him...... Qihan, let's go back to Hanjiang Pavilion, our family, never separated again, live in peace and mind......"

Jiang Qihan closed his eyes and asked, "Are you really willing to do anything from now on?" As far as me and you, and Ning'er, don't ask about the world, in Hanjiang Pavilion for the rest of your life, do you really want to live such a life with me? ”

Qi Niang was silent for a moment, and then said, "As long as I can be with you and Ning'er, it doesn't matter where I stay." ”

Jiang Qihan finally sighed, touched Qi Niang's hair, and said: "I have lived like this for more than 20 years, without a trace of freedom, I don't want to live this kind of life again, how can I bear to let you be trapped in a cage like me." You will always be so free and easy, but it is your freedom that sometimes makes me feel uneasy, I am afraid that one day, you will break free from this invisible shackle that Hanjiang Pavilion gave you and leave me. ”

He originally thought that as long as they had a child, Qi Niang's heart would stop for him, but Qi Niang was like a bird in the sky for him, yearning for the vast and free blue sky, and would not stay in the same place forever, and Hanjiang Pavilion was just her temporary habitat. He could promise her peace and tranquility for a lifetime, but he could not promise her a free and uninhibited life.

"Qi Han, no matter where you are, I will be with you, even if it is a cage, I am willing to do it, and I will never regret it." Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan, word by word, extremely clear, like an oath.

Jiang Qihan knew that what Qi Niang said was true, but it was precisely because she was so honest that Jiang Qihan felt even more indebted to her. He said: "Mengming, if one day, you find out that I am not as good as you imagined, and even deceived you, will you still say that? ”

Qi Niang looked at him puzzled, and then looked determined, "I never thought about this, but if there is such a day, I also believe that Qi Han is forced to do so." ”

Jiang Qihan smiled, shook his head slowly, and said, "You, always believe in me so much, how can this be good for your husband?" It's too much of a topic for me to talk about. Are you still angry with me? ”

"Actually, I'm not so angry, but it's Qihan that you ......"

Jiang Qihan smiled helplessly: "There are only two reasons why I am angry, one is that Meng Meng is injured, and the other is that I eat Meng Ming's vinegar, and Meng Meng is angry, that is, he is really angry with me." Either way, it's not a good thing, and I hope it doesn't happen again in the future. ”

As soon as Jiang Qihan finished speaking, a carriage slowly drove towards them, it was the groom sent by Wei Zi'an to take them back to the palace.

"Pavilion Master Jiang, Mrs. Meng, the king sent me to pick you up."

Jiang Qihan glanced at Qi Niang and said to the horseman: "Wait a minute, where is there a place in the city that is responsible for funerals?" ”

The groom and Qi Niang were both stunned, and the groom was puzzled: "What is the Jiang Pavilion Lord asking for?" ”

Jiang Qihan replied: "There is a child in the city who unfortunately passed away, and we want to help the family and bury the child." ”

The horseman suddenly understood and said: "So that's the case, the Jiang Pavilion Lord and Mrs. Meng are really kind, I'll take you there, the two of you, please get on the horse." ”

Jiang Qihan and Qi Niang glanced at each other and smiled: "This time Meng Meng won't be upset, right?" ”

Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan in a daze, then smiled, shook her head and said, "Qihan, thank you." ”

Jiang Qihan held her hand and pulled her into the carriage, "You and I husband and wife, why do you have to say thank you." ”
