Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fireworks

One afternoon, Lan Ruoyun was appeasing the little prince to take a nap, Qi Niang came to her, and after a few days of getting along, Qi Niang became more and more satisfied with this younger brother and sister, and when Wei Zi'an was away, the two often teased the little prince together, or gossiped about homely things. ยง Xianjing, Wei Zi'an's judgment of the change between the two should be mostly due to her contributions. Lan Ruoyun heard that Qi Niang was married to Jiang Qihan, a wonderful doctor with the best medical skills in the world, so she mentioned to Qi Niang that she had brought back a pharmacist from outside the palace who also had superb medical skills, and Lan Ruoyun would be able to recuperate so well under his care. And when he was outside the palace, this person cured Lan Ruoyun's brother's evil disease, so he was favored by Lan Ruoyun and brought him back to the palace as the royal medicine practitioner in the palace.

Listening to Lan Ruoyun's words about this person, Qi Niang was a little curious about this person, if Jiang Qihan was here at the moment, he would definitely want to meet this pharmacist.

As if she had guessed Qi Niang's thoughts, Lan Ruoyun said, "Does my sister want to meet this pharmacist?" Coincidentally, I happened to have some throat discomfort today, so I summoned him over, and my sister will be able to see him later. โ€

"Ruoyun, if you are not feeling well, you can let the nurse take care of the little prince on your behalf."

Lan Ruoyun smiled, "I also have this intention, otherwise if I get sick, it will not affect the little prince." โ€

The two talked for a while, and then the medicine man came to the glass hall, and the man came in with his head bowed, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, and he could not see his face. Seeing that Qi Niang was still in the hall, the man seemed to be a little surprised, and looked at Qi Niang for a while before saluting Lan Ruoyun.

I only heard that this person's voice was slightly hoarse, but Qi Niang felt that this person's voice was a little familiar no matter how it sounded, as if she deliberately lowered her voice, and her reaction was a little strange when she saw her just now. Qi Niang stared at this person fixedly for a long time, and he kept his head down, only listening to Lan Ruoyun introduce to himself: "Sister, this is the pharmacist I mentioned to you, named Fang Chongzheng. Because his face was ruined by the fire in his early years, it is inconvenient for him to show his true face. โ€

Qi Niang smiled with understanding, arched her hand with him in the way of the rivers and lakes, and said, "Qi Niang has seen Mr. Fang. โ€

The man turned around slightly and hurriedly replied, without saying anything, as if he was very afraid of Qi Niang's gaze, and turned around and asked Lan Ruoyun: "Where is the princess unwell today?" โ€

Qi Niang watched Fang Chongzheng prescribe a prescription for Lan Ruoyun's medical treatment on the side, thoughtful.

When he returned from the Liuli Palace, Qi Niang had always been relieved about Chongzheng's affairs, and he always felt that he saw his reaction as if he knew himself, and why did he deliberately lower his voice to speak? She is not the kind of person who likes to inquire about others, but Fang Chongzheng's words and deeds are too incredible, and she is not a rich wolf, tiger and leopard, why is Fang Chongzheng so afraid of her? It can't be someone who has any entanglement with Qianjilou, right? Later, she casually asked Lan Ruoyun if she had seen Fang Chongzheng's true face, but Lan Ruoyun said that when she first saw Fang Chongzheng, there was indeed a trace on his face after being burned by fire. Qi Niang confirmed that she had never met such a person in her impression, so Fang Chongzheng's matter was gradually forgotten by her. But in less than two days, Qi Niang unexpectedly met someone.

One night, when she was practicing her sword outside the house, the maid suddenly sent a bowl of soup to her courtyard, saying that the princess had been feeling cold recently, and specially instructed the maid to send soup to protect against the cold. Qi Niang glanced at the soup and didn't feel very hungry, so she said to the maid: "Put it first, I'll eat it later." โ€

Soon after the maid left, there was a loud "bang" in the sky, and then a beam of golden light rushed straight into the sky, ......and those beams of light rose into the air, and suddenly scattered and exploded, and the colorful and gorgeous beams of light bloomed like flowers. The sky was brightly reflected, and the maids in the courtyard were attracted by the colorful scene, and their faces were smiling excitedly.

"What's that? It's so pretty! I don't know who shouted.

"Colorful fireworks?" Qi Niang looked up at the night sky decorated with fireworks and let out a whisper of confusion and surprise.

The first time she saw fireworks was Xiao Sixteen in Qianji Building, at that time, everyone was still together, the golden light reflected the radiant faces of Xiao Sixteen and Ye Jiu, Qi Niang habitually looked back, and saw Bian Che standing in the attic with his hands in his hands, those dazzling golden lights illuminated the quiet night, and also illuminated Bian Che's face. His expressionless face was also covered with a warm golden light because of the brilliant fireworks.

Memories are only a matter of moments, like fireworks in the sky, slowly extinguishing as the remnants of the spark slowly fall. Qi Niang pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, then walked into the room and closed the door. Before she could turn around, someone suddenly covered her mouth, and the wrench on the man's finger made her guess who he was immediately.

"Xiao Qi, it's me." Bian Che's low voice rang in his ears, and he let go of her.

Qi Niang turned around, looked at him with wide eyes and incredulous, and said, "How did you get in?" โ€

Bian Che smiled at her, "Flew in." โ€

Qi Niang said helplessly: "Don't say that the White Night Palace was also flown in by you." โ€

"Of course not, I entered the palace with an innkeeper who brewed plum wine outside the palace." Bian Che replied very calmly, as if he had come not to the heavily guarded Imperial Palace, but to his own Thousand Machine Tower.

Qi Niang frowned, "You've been in White Night City all these days?" Qi Niang couldn't help but suspect that Bian Che had no intention of leaving White Night City at all.

"Do you want me to leave?" Bian Che couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

Qi Niang didn't speak, and she didn't even want to answer his boring question, so she simply turned to business, "I don't want to know how you got in, but trespassing in the palace is a capital crime, what are you doing with me?" She lowered her voice, a little anxious in her tone, for fear that someone outside would hear.

The worry in her expression made the sense of loss in Bian Che's heart fade mostly, he glanced at the steaming soup on the table, walked to the table, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't drink this bowl of soup." โ€

"Why?" Qi Niang's face was puzzled.

Bian Che looked at her and said, "If my guess is correct, there should be medicine in it." โ€

Qi Niang walked towards the bowl of soup, frowned, and said, "You came to tell me that my brother and sister have drugged my food?" You could have made up some more ridiculous reasons. โ€

Bian Che's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he looked at her unhappily and said, "It's not the princess who wants to harm you, it's someone in the palace who wants to harm you." Jiang Cheng is here. โ€

Qi Niang stared at him in disbelief, "How do you know?" โ€

The corners of Bian Che's mouth twitched slightly, staring at her quietly, "Don't you believe me?" โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Sorry, I didn't mean that, but I didn't expect anyone to plot against me in this White Night City. Qi Niang felt a little guilty for questioning Bian Che just now.

"I saw Cui Zhengwen in an inn, he was investigating Jiang Cheng's matter, and it has been confirmed that Jiang Cheng is in this White Night Palace, and he is the imperial medicine practitioner in the palace."

Qi Niang's mouth opened and closed, and the situation when she saw Fang Chongzheng that day came to her mind again, it turned out that it was not that she was suspicious, Jiang Cheng actually fled to the Northern Wilderness, and also entered the White Night Palace, hiding people's eyes and ears for so long, even Wei Zi'an didn't notice it.

"In order to get Jiang Cheng's whereabouts, I promised Cui Zhengwen to lure Jiang Cheng out of the city, but he knows the danger outside, I'm afraid he is unwilling to leave the palace, and he needs your assistance." Bian Che looked at Qi Niang Dao.

Jiang Cheng is now the imperial medicine practitioner of White Night City, Cui Zhengwen is not easy to arrest people, and Qi Niang has no reason to ask Wei Zi'an for someone directly, she thought for a moment and said: "I can try to lure him out of the city, but I don't know if he can't get out of the city." What about you, how are you going to get out of town? โ€

"I haven't figured it out yet, there's always a way." Bian Che didn't care much.

Qi Niang looked at him like a madman, and she really couldn't figure out how Bian Che, who had always planned things well, rushed into the palace without considering the consequences, was he stupid or crazy?

The two of them in the room suddenly stopped talking, and there was a dull silence between them, Qi Niang looked at the ground, and Bian Che's gaze stayed on Qi Niang. Xu is hot gaze made Qi Niang feel uncomfortable, she raised her head to break the silence between the two, and said, "When the people outside relax their vigilance late at night, I will give you a chance to leave, and you can go again." With that, she sat down at the table and poured two cups of tea, "If there is no wine, you can drink it." โ€

Bian Che smiled, sat down beside Qi Niang in a chic manner, and said, "It's okay." I'm scared of drinking, too. Since Qi Niang married Jiang Qihan, Bian Che has been accompanied by wine almost every day, hoping that after getting drunk, he will be able to forget that Qi Niang has thrown himself into the arms of others, but it backfired, the more he was not sober, the more fierce his thoughts became.

"Is there anything else in this world that you're afraid of?" The corners of Qi Niang's lips hooked, and Fang Cai's vigilance gradually subsided, and the two were like old friends who had been reunited for a long time sitting together and chatting.

Bian Che suddenly looked at Qi Niang steadily, "What I'm afraid of will always be only related to you, I'm afraid that you will betray me, I'm afraid that you will leave me, I'm afraid that you will hate me one day, and all this happened." โ€

Qi Niang took a sullen sip of tea, didn't look at him, and said as if she was saying goodbye: "Bian Che, let's stop in moderation, our relationship will never become what you expect, not before, and never in the future." โ€

"I know." Bian Che closed his eyes, his voice was a little astringent, and he felt that the tea he swallowed was so bitter. He is now close to Qi Niang, but Qi Niang's heart is thousands of miles away from him.

The two of them had their own hearts, and after a long time, Qi Niang said: "Thank you for letting me see such beautiful fireworks tonight, I didn't expect you to remember." โ€

When she saw Xiao Sixteen set off fireworks for the first time, Bian Che asked her, is it just some ethereal things, can it make you so happy?

Qi Niang said, the more gorgeous things are, the easier it is to fade, we can only try our best to keep these beautiful things in our hearts, if we can watch it with the most important person, we will definitely remember this moment forever.

After listening to Qi Niang's answer, Bian Che looked at her in surprise, Qi Niang must not have known at that time, Bian Che had already silently memorized her words in his heart, and the next day he sent Yu Mingchen to inquire about the best fireworks dealer in the capital. It's just that the fireworks never let go of later.

"Will you remember me forever, then?" Bian Che asked coldly. He probably just wanted to hear a genuine answer.

Qi Niang nodded, "The landlord's kindness to me, I don't forget." โ€

Bian Che smiled bitterly. In the end, is all that's left between them is kindness?

In the middle of the night, Qi Niang woke up from a dream full of brilliant fireworks and found that she was already lying on the bed, and Bian Che had already left.
