Ye Shuqiu cheered up, dragged his tired body, and returned to Yefu.

Who knew that such a small charm could suck so much blood? He sat quietly on the nearest rattan chair with his legs as if they had been filled with lead, not even wanting to move his fingers.

He leaned back in his chair and looked up at the sky. But he slowly closed his eyes because of exhaustion.

...

"Ahem..."

Ye Shuqiu woke up from a dream because of a dry itch in his throat. He relieved himself, listened to the sound of the watchman beating outside the house, and laughed at himself.

How long has it been since I've been so defenseless to relax my body and mind? If it had been placed in the past, these few mistakes would have been enough to die a thousand times! Recall... Today seems to be the first time so... Now that you're awake, let's go see the folds...

He put his hands on the gauntlet and slowly got to his feet. The detached arms trembled slightly in the long sleeves.

After being delayed for almost a day, I'm afraid that the twists and turns have already been piled up?

"Up!"

Ye Shuqiu snorted and staggered to the study.

...

The mountains of twists and turns did not occur. However, on the table, there was still a thick roll of bamboo slips. Ye Shuqiu paused, took a deep breath and opened the bamboo slip, rubbed the sore temples, and forced himself to read carefully.

There are very few words on it, and the content of the description is very simple: the Shu Territory is full of looting, and the people cannot settle down, saying that they have found traces of rebellious ministers and thieves in the former northern capital!

Shu Frontier... That should be not far from the wilderness... There are mountains and mountains in between, and besides, between the wilderness and the Shu region, there is an unknown area that has not been explored by the army... I heard that it is impossible for even a family to survive over there, how could there be suddenly... Wait a minute...

Ye Shuqiu suddenly thought of something, pointed to the last few words with his finger, and read in a low voice: "Said that he found traces of rebellious ministers and thieves in the former northern capital..." Could it be... It's him? I haven't found any trace of that person before, but this time there should be results...

"Come—" He was about to shout when he stopped. That's it! It's time now, and everyone is still asleep...

Alas! Can't sleep! Let's go see her...

...

Ye Shuqiu came to the library, and lightly came to the bedside where Mu Xiyao was, looked at her sleeping appearance, smiled slightly, and shook his head helplessly. 【#… iQi Literature #*Fastest Update】

This girl, it's late autumn, and her sleeping appearance is still so inelegant. Who told you to take away my only heart? I owe you all my life!

He gently covered her restless feet with the brocade quilt, carefully moved her sleeping position, arranged the brocade quilt a little so that it didn't look so wrinkled, and pulled it up to cover her bright neck.

"Hmm—" she snorted softly.

Awake? Ye Shuqiu's hand moved, and when he looked at it again, it turned out that Mu Xiyao was just babbling.

"What a kitten who can't be reassured." He gently scratched the tip of her nose, teased, and turned away.

When he turned around, he didn't notice the misty eyes behind him.

Is it a dream?

Mu Xiyao stretched out her hand and gently rubbed her eyes, as if she wanted to see the back of the departing figure. The moment she blinked uncertainly, the mysterious figure disappeared. There were no footsteps, no one was disturbed, it was like a dream, fleeting.

It's supposed to be a dream, right?

She confirmed with some uncertainty for a moment, then the fatigue struck again, and she continued to fall asleep.

...

These days, Ye Shuqiu went to court early, and then hurriedly went down. The ministers and the emperor complained bitterly, but they were helpless.

Since that incident, everyone has trembled and frightened, for fear that Lord Ye Xiang will suddenly grab his handle, say a crime, and then separate his head and body.

Many people were asking each other where Lord Ye had gone. But it seems that everyone does not know.

And where did he go after the next dynasty?

He took off his mask, changed into a white coat, and hurried to the library. Counting the hours, she should be awake.

accompanied her until late at night, until she was asleep, she didn't dare to leave, and hurriedly returned to Yefu to deal with the twists.

In this way, it took Ye Shuqiu a year before Mu Xiyao dared to approach him slowly. However, she still doesn't like to talk much, and for this matter, Ye Shuqiu is worried. In addition, from time to time there was some news from the border that some people might rebel, and he did not sleep well every night. If it weren't for the strong spirits and the cover of the mask, he barely made a fool of himself.

...

"Xi Yao... Are you there? "He went down again. Hurried to the book. I opened the door and asked.

"Hmm." Somewhere, a weak answer came.

"Whew..."Ye Shuqiu's heart was put down again. He walked slowly towards her, stretched out a hand and said, "Come... I'll go ahead and teach you how to read and write..."

According to the rules of the beam, women are not allowed to read too many words. They only need to be able to read women's rings and be women's celebrities, which is enough.

In the words of those who read: women, all they need to do is take care of their children at home, and they can cook and wash clothes to fill their stomachs. Will there be so many words, what's the use? Official? A group of scholars waiting to be officials, how can they have their share?

Ye Shuqiu was very disgusted with these people's words, and wanted to change them several times, but he was forced by those sour and rotten clichés, so he had to put them aside for the time being. In any case, his own foundation is not stable, and the foundation of the beam is not stable, so he can't commit these brainless public anger. After all

, and only they can provide the country with literate people.

But... How to think and how angry. Forget it for the time being, if you don't let me abolish it, then I teach my own woman privately, who can stop me?

"Okay." Mu Xiyao took small steps and cautiously walked out of a corner. She looked around and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Shuqiu only felt strange, and subconsciously asked, "What are you doing there?" ”

"Hmm..."Mu Xiyao pursed her lips and shook her head. She was still reluctant to speak. But she always remembered that there were always people in this house who couldn't get along with her. It was a strange instinct, although in her memory, she had only been in contact with the man in front of her.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Ye Shuqiu smiled lightly and gently stroked her long hair, "Come, let's continue yesterday... Where was it taught yesterday? ”

Why did my memory suddenly deteriorate?

Mu Xiyao didn't say anything, just trotted to a bookcase, opened the book window and took out a book from it, ran to Ye Shuqiu, and handed it to him.

Ye Shuqiu took it and took a look, where she had studied, she had folded the book marks. "You... How did you find it? "He's been in a mess lately, almost in a mess.

She smiled slightly, pointed to the pattern on the left side of the book, and still did not speak.

Call... If she hadn't said a word or two to herself from time to time, after a year, I would have wondered if she had a problem with her pronunciation and almost went to the doctor. "My Xi Yao is the best!" He rubbed the top of Mu Xiyao's head, making a mess of her hairstyle that she had so hard to comb.

Mu Xiyao covered her head and gave him an angry look.

Ye Shuqiu looked at her little daughter's appearance, and was amused to laugh, as if all those gloom had been swept away.

No, she took his hand, ran to the table, took out the four treasures of the study, and wrote six words.

He looked at the six characters intently, only to feel that the rhyme was vivid and the style was beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel happy. I couldn't help but praise: "Your handwriting is getting better and better." ”

Mu Xiyao pursed her lips and said nothing, as if she was very angry.

"What do you want to say?" Ye Shuqiu had some doubts in his heart. He lowered his head to look at the words again, and muttered in a low voice, "Are you tired?" Call... I'm not tired, at least I'm not tired when I see you. He didn't expect that although Mu Xiyao seemed to be silent and forgot everything, she still cared so much about herself.

Then you sleep for a while... It's right in my bed, okay?

After Mu Xiyao wrote these words, she felt that the tips of her ears, which were covered by her long hair and exposed a slight corner, were a little hot.

"Are you concerned about me?" Ye Shuqiu gently hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Thank you..."

But she was out of his arms

Breaking free, he grabbed his hand and dragged him to the bed. Then he pointed to the bed, and then to him.

"Can you speak? I'm very uncomfortable with you holding it like this, you know? Ye Shuqiu held her hands and looked at her beautiful eyes gently.

"I... I don't know what to say to you. Mu Xiyao finally spoke. Seeing you work so hard every day, I... I can't stand it either. I know what you mean... However, I always felt like I was just a touch of duckweed... I didn't rely on... I don't dare to say..."

"You have something to rely on! You're on my back! Ye Shuqiu squeezed her shoulders tightly, "You know! I've done so much just to make you happy! But you... It's been a year, a year since you've woken up, and it's not been a year since you've spoken anything that long. You... Do you know how worried I am about you! ”

She frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry... I'm so excited. It hurts you. Ye Shuqiu let go of his hand, only to feel that he was very greedy. Oh, yes... She is willing to talk to herself, this is already a big breakthrough, what more can she ask for? And she still cares about me.

"Lie down." Mu Xiyao shook her head, pointed to her boudoir, and looked at him firmly.

"I..." Ye Shuqiu hesitated.
