In the middle of summer in July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the whole capital is shrouded in a scorched sun.

Early in the morning, Ning Qianyi asked people to come to the tea garden to talk about it. Man Yao was very puzzled in his heart, he had come to the General's Mansion to see her the first few times! What's the inconvenience in the General's Mansion this time that you need to go to the tea plantation? Moreover, Ning Qianyi chose to walk to the Moon Tea Garden.

There are not many guests in the Moon Tea Garden during the day, and at a glance, I saw a noble man in purple sitting alone under the cherry blossom village full of green skills. Wherever she walked, the waiter in the tea garden bowed to her, but did not come forward to greet her, which was her previous command.

Seeing her arrive, Ning Qianyi got up to greet her and asked with concern, "Has the princess's injuries healed?" ”

Man Yao smiled back and said, "Prince Lao is worried, it's okay. ”

Ning Qianyi smiled: "I'm relieved to do this." It's all because of me, you're hurt, and I've never said thank you. ”

"The prince doesn't have to be so angry, I said, I will help you, but not for you." If I had known that it almost killed me, I probably wouldn't have helped you. She laughed as she spoke. She doesn't like to owe favors to others, and she doesn't need others to think about her life-saving grace all the time. Moreover, she did save him for many reasons.

Ning Qianyi smiled and shook his head, in this world, it is really rare to see a woman as special as a princess, you have saved other people's lives, and you don't let others be grateful. ”

Man Yao smiled casually, the two of them sat down together, Ning Qianyi asked for a pot of tea, and poured a cup for her with her own hands. The princess will call me directly in the future, and we can be regarded as friends in life and death. ”

Ning Qianyi is a cheerful person, there is no one else, and he does not shirk when he is gone, so he responded lightly: Okay

Ning Qianyi looked at her, his eyes burned, and Lang Lang asked with a smile: "Then I...... Call you Rongle or Liyue? The glass is transparent, and the moon is bright...... I think the name Liyue is more suitable for you!

The bright sunlight shines through the glass skylight, sprinkling a round of shallow orange and yellow, Ning Qianyi holds the cup, smiling heartily and brightly, the thin halo mixed with the ripples of Tianhe silver water around the two of them. The transparency of the glass and the brightness of the moon are just a name given by the Nine Emperor Princes at random, and it is different in everyone's mouth. She remembered that she was once under this cherry blossom village, and the man said, "Liulimu, Yuehua, women should be like this." She still remembered clearly, and all the entanglements between her and the man seemed to have been doomed at that time.

Ning Qianyi saw that her eyes were misty, and she looked at herself in a daze, and the expression in her eyes was uncertain, complicated and indescribable. Suspicious, he asked, "Liyue, ...... me Did you say something wrong? ”

Manxiao was startled and frowned, they were obviously two completely different people, one seemed to be the representative of the light, and the other was like the god of hell wandering on the edge of darkness, but she only remembered that person because of one sentence.

Since the last time Fu Liuyuan said goodbye, everything in the past seemed to become clearer in her heart, she lowered her eyebrows, shook her head, wanted to get rid of those inexplicable thoughts, and then said lightly: "No." The name is just a code name, you can call it whatever you want. As he spoke, he swept his eyes and saw that no one was following him, so he asked casually: "You entered this teahouse by yourself, and you are not worried that there will be no one who will be unfavorable to you?" ”

Ning Qianyi's eyes were bright, and he smiled half-jokingly and said clearly This is your place, I am not worried.

It sounds like a simple sentence, but it really surprised Manyao's heart. Her eyes were suddenly sharp, could it be that what did he know? Come to think of it, who is the person who least wants the Dust Wind Kingdom to ally with the Heavenly Kingdom? And that day, the man in black was extremely ruthless and merciless, clearly wanting to marry them, and when they saw the man in black, the man repeatedly emphasized that she could leave, and when she accidentally fell into the lake, the man in black ran nervously to the edge of the cliff...... Combining it all, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to guess either.

Man Yao slowly raised his eyes and saw that he was smiling openly, and his eyes were not tentative, but a kind of thorough understanding. She couldn't help but sit up straight in surprise, and re-examined the handsome man in front of her, who was frank and open, and described this as a person. A future king is truly extraordinary. Since the other party is so frank, she doesn't need to cover it up, she knows it, if he has other thoughts, he won't say it.

She smiled bitterly at Ning Qianyi, first bolted the most insensitive question, and asked: "How do you know that this is my place."

Ning Qianyi glanced at the waiter at the door, and said with a smile, "When others enter the tea garden, someone will come forward to greet them, greet them and lead them to the seat, only after you come in, they only salute, but there is no other action, this is the way to treat the master." Am I right?

This person's mind is really meticulous enough, and an inconspicuous action and detail can also make him see the clues. Man Yao smiled approvingly, "Is there any other basis?" ”

Ning Qianyi looked around very seriously, with undisguised deep appreciation and admiration in his eyes, "I heard that this tea garden was designed by you personally, it's so beautiful!" It's like a fairyland. This round and pearl-like pebble piled up of Mingxi canals, this well-trimmed variety of scarce willows, this bright and luxurious delicate small glazed palace lamp, this high-quality white jade table", look at the whole garden, from the ground to the top of the garden, even a small horn pedicle, all are carefully carved, perfect to the extreme, but these, are not as good as your garden full of sparkling water ripples like the side flow of the silver water of the Tianhe River, and the bright moon shrouded in a wonderful mind for a person, such painstaking efforts, carefully made of the garden, You have no money to measure with gold and silver, and you are not short of silver, so how can you really be willing to sell it easily? "I remember one time when he came here, it was one night, he was really stunned, he couldn't say the shock in his heart, at that time, he was thinking, how extraordinary the person who designed this garden!

Manyao's eyes were shining, and he smiled lightly: "What you analyzed, it seems to have some truth." ”

Ning Qianyi smiled smugly, revealing the innate pride and conceit of a prince. He suddenly rolled his eyes, leaned forward a little, and asked very brotherly: I am very strange, how can you, a princess, understand this? ”

Man Yao was slightly stunned, his eyes turned a few times, he smiled faintly, lowered his head to drink tea, and did not answer this question. She would rather not answer than use lies to pretend to be such a person.

Ning Qianyi was so smart, seeing that she didn't want to say, she naturally didn't ask anymore. Picking up the tea, I drank a full cup in one gulp like a drunk-like habit, changed the topic at will, chatted about it, and then said: That day in the Lotus Palace, although you hurt yourself, but you handled things very well, you are very smart, so smart that I am broken. You play the piano well, beyond my imagination. If you do your best to swing that high mountain, I think, it will definitely shock the world and make you famous all over the world.

Smiled shallowly, with a hint of imperceptible bitterness at the corners of her mouth, and a faint sadness hidden between her eyebrows, she asked softly: "What about being famous all over the world?" "Whether it can be famous in the world, she doesn't care at all. What is the burden of fame, how can it be stable and calm? What she wanted, it was so simple, but why was it so difficult to achieve?

Ning Qianyi was stunned for a moment, the world is chasing fame and fortune, and always hopes to be a blockbuster and famous through the ages, who would think about it, what about being famous in the world? Can it bring more benefits? Or will it be able to earn more respect and admiration?

He looked at the smiling and alienated woman opposite, and suddenly he was a little stunned, if he fell in love at first sight with the amazement of her peerless appearance: on the same day, he was moved by the strong enemy who was not afraid of life and death to save him from danger; That day, the concubine banquet made him feel distressed and impressed by her self-injury and her ingenuity in reversing the situation, so today, she got rid of the indifference and tranquility of the world, and the thin sadness that followed him like a shadow, made him feel a little helpless.

He didn't know whether it was a blessing or not for him to be attached to such a woman. How can a person who doesn't care about anything bring her happiness?

Seeing that he was silent for a while, he only looked at her in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: Why are you looking at me like this? What I said, "Is it hard to understand?" "Also, a prince of a country like him naturally hopes to be famous and spread through the ages.

Ning Qianyi's heroic face moved slightly, as if she thought about it for a while, suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed her slender wrist, was startled, and intuitively withdrew her hand, but was tightly pinched by him, she couldn't break free, frowned and said What are you doing? ”

Ning Qianyi's eyes were as hot as the June sun, and he asked the same question that he had been thinking about these days, and asked it directly, without any bend, "Liyue, would you like to come with me?" Come with me to the Dust Wind Country, the dust wind people are blowing, without the many conspiracies and calculations of the people of the Heavenly Kingdom, you will definitely like it there,

He was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: What are you doing in the Dust Wind Country?

Ning Qianyi's eyes were bright, and he suddenly changed his usual boldness, and asked cautiously: Be my wife, be my future queen, you... Would you like to? ”

Stunned for a moment, she only laughed out loud as he joked.

Ning Qianyi restrained his smile, looked at her fixedly for a moment, word by word, and said very earnestly: "I'm serious!" ”

The laughter stopped, and her eyes were full of surprise, she didn't know that Ning Qianyi had a good impression of her, but didn't the men in this world value women's chastity? She can understand that her identity has value for use, but what is Ning Yuyi for? After bringing a princess from another country back to be a king, in addition to the possibility of bringing disaster to him and his country, it will also make him the object of ridicule of the subjects of the world.

Facing his fiery and calm eyes, her expression gradually became solemn, her gaze lingered on his atmospheric face, and she asked in a very serious tone, "You know...... What are you talking about? Is it appropriate to marry a married woman in your capacity? Even if you don't care, your parents, your subjects, can they say yes? Besides, don't forget, I am the princess of Qiyun Kingdom, my husband, and the commander of the three armies of a country, have you considered the consequences of doing this? "A future king should always be sober and not emotional. Catching him with reality was the only thing she could do at the moment.

Ning Qianyi's expression was stunned, but she didn't expect that she, a woman, would be able to point out all the stakes in such a short moment. He thought about it very calmly, and said, "I have considered what you said. As long as Emperor Lin gets enough benefits, there are ways to give you a new identity, but these are not the biggest problems, for me, the most important thing is that you "will go with me?" She thought that this foreign prince who had only met a few times was just a whim of the moment, but she didn't expect him to think it through. The safety of the country, he said that the biggest problem is not to go, and the most important thing is her will! She is just an ordinary woman, and she will also be moved in the face of such a man. Looking at him silently, looking at the man who was like the sun, she was shaken, if she went to the Dust Wind Country with him, would she be able to escape from the mercy of fate, and whether she would be able to stay away from betrayal and hurt from now on? Stay away from intrigue, intrigue?

Why", she asked him.

Ning Qianyi looked intently at the gloomy sadness buried in her eyes and the helplessness and sadness of fate, and his extremely sincere voice said softly and slowly, because you "are not happy." She and Pu Chip looked inseparable, and he could see at a glance that he could see the entanglement between her and King Li, as well as their occasional eye collision and escape, and he also saw the clues. That's why he wanted to take her away even more, willing to risk the world's disapproval. Lintian ** is strong and ambitious, and cooperating with it is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, but he is willing. To do such a thing for a woman who only has a few faces, it may be said that he is reckless, but only he understands in his own heart that he fell in love at first sight, and since then he has been haunted by his dreams, and he is destined to be unable to escape.

Manyao's heart was shocked, and she quietly stroked the teacup in her hand, the unevenness of blue and white on the white porcelain surface rubbed her fingertips, and the slightly hot temperature of the cup along the tentacles slowly penetrated into her heart through the skin of her fingertips. She looked down at her hand, and after a while, she said to him with great sincerity, thank you, Qianyi. After speaking, she raised her head and changed her tone, very light, very light. She looked at him and asked, 'Come with you, and you'll be sure I'll be happy?' ”

Ning Qianyi was also shocked, thought about it, and said, "What I can be sure of is that I will give you everything I can, but I don't know if that's what you want, so I'm not sure if you will be happy." But I, "Have faith in yourself!" ”

After listening to it, he was not in a hurry to respond. He just leaned back in his chair and smiled faintly, "What can you give me?" "Happiness and wealth" identity and power? Or gold and silver jewelry. This sounds like a disdainful question, but from her mouth, it is a serious discussion of life events, and there is no intention of despising or despising the other party.

Ning Qianyi naturally knew that she didn't lack those things and wouldn't put them in her eyes, but it was undeniable that those were things he could give her. He stretched out his hands to take hers, and the delicate and soft touch soaked his heart into a mess, and he said, "And," my heart!

Man Yao watched him hold her hand tightly, feeling the fine sweat oozing from his palm, a warm current suddenly crossed her heart, and after a moment of struggle and hesitation, she smiled slightly: "Three palaces and six courtyards, countless beauties, the sincerity of an emperor, how true do you think?" ”

Ning Qianyi's body shook, and his eyes full of expectation gradually dimmed.

He was suddenly silent, not because he couldn't be sure of his heart, but because he suddenly understood what she wanted! It was the most extravagant and powerless thing for an emperor, his father loved his mother so much, but for the sake of the court, he still married a lot of concubines.

He took a breath, finally letting go of her hand, and lowered his eyes and said, "Liyue, I, I understand. I understood what she meant by that. This woman is so clever at refusing!

Manyao smiled with relief, a little sorry, but she could only do this. Ning Qianyi is really a good man, he is open-minded, he does things fairly, get along with him, he has no scheming and no need to be guarded, he will not feel depressed, if he is not the future emperor, then he should be a good life partner. And the king's harem is by no means her destination.

People, probably because they can't expect the future, will be so sure. In the final analysis, everything is just because Ning Qianyi is not the person in her heart.

When parting, Ning Qianyi said: "The last assassination, I'm afraid General Fu already knew about it, I'm going to leave in a few days, if you have a place for me, just come to me." ”

What he meant, she understood. Manxiao looked at him with a little gratitude, and thoughtfully Why, you don't doubt me at all."

Ning Qianyi smiled loudly and said What do you suspect about? Do you suspect that you deliberately approached me? Hehe, who is stupid enough to get into their own game and work so hard for others? You're so smart, you have the wisdom and ability to lay out, but you're not the kind of woman who will do anything to achieve your goals. There are so many lives, just look at the look on your face when you kill. If, "If these are all your games, then I admit it." ”

There was a feeling of astringency in my heart, and I didn't know what to say. A future king, so stupid, I don't know whether it's good or bad"

Ning Qianyi left, and Man Yao did not leave immediately, but looked in the direction of the qin platform, where the person who stroked the qin had already changed. Shen Yu is now the nominal new boss of this tea garden, after all, people who have been in the Fengyue field for a long time are very good at handling things, probably because they have seen too many men in the Qinglou, and it is easy to accept the independent idea that women should have their own lives. From the beginning of only playing the qin, to the later management of the tea garden, after a long period of careful cultivation, she also lived up to her expectations and took care of the tea garden well

Man Yao got up and went straight to the back garden, turned a glass wall, Shen Yu had already greeted him, and said with a smile: "The prince is gone." ”

The sunken fish is even more charming and moving than it was a year ago! There is also a little more shrewdness of a businessman in his bright eyes. After more than a year of getting along, the two of them didn't have the earliest politeness when they met, nodded and asked, how is Zhaoyun? Mood may improve. "Since the flower feast, Zhaoyun lived in the western suburbs, although she got rid of the entanglement of the Xiaoyao Mansion, but after all, people are terrible, and she is idle all day long, so she is naturally easy to be cranky, so Manyao asked her to come to the tea garden, saying that it was to help Shen Yu, but in fact, she wanted her to contact more people, so as not to drill the horns of the bull alone.

Shen Yu said: "It's much better than the first two days when she came, she didn't like to talk at first, and she couldn't hide it when she saw anyone." Now I've been with everyone for a while, and sometimes I'm laughing and laughing, and I'm a lot more lively. In recent days, she has been learning from Lao Zhang about accounting and tidying up. ”

That's good. Manyao relieved himself a little, Zhaoyun is so young, he shouldn't live in the shadow of an unhappy marriage for the rest of his life. The two said that they had come to the management room in the back garden, and as soon as they entered the room, they saw the old Zhang Zheng, who was in charge of accounting, with black lines on his head, staring helplessly at a woman in a pink skirt, and sighed.

Man Yao laughed and laughed, what's wrong? ”

Ah, Sister Rongle, are you here? As soon as Zhaoyun saw it, she ran over with a smile and a cheerful smile, and that action reminded her of the appearance of Zhaoyun when she saw it once. She's still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old after all! It was supposed to be a carefree age.

Manyao glanced at the messy bill on the table, then looked at Lao Zhang's face, took Zhaoyun's hand, and asked: Did you make a mistake? ”

Zhaoyun stuck out his tongue and lowered his head, not daring to look at Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang sorted out the pile of bills for a morning, but she insisted that she wanted to help, and then she helped more and more. Lao Zhang couldn't do it because of her identity, so he could only complain in his heart.

Manyao scolded angrily: "Zhaoyun, quickly apologize to Lao Zhang." ”

Lao Zhang was shocked, how could he care about whether the bill was billed or not, and he shook his hands in a panic and said: "I can't do it!" Princess, you have tormented the villain. How dare the villain make the county lord apologize! ”

Manyao smiled and said: "There is no county lord here, Zhaoyun came to work in the tea garden, just like everyone, there is no distinction between status and equality." Zhaoyun, what do you say? ”

Zhaoyun nodded and said, "Well, Sister Rongle is very right. Lao Zhang, I'm sorry! I'll be sure to sort it out next time, and I won't mess up again. ”

No need, no need, thank you for your kindness. The villain can handle it alone. Lao Zhang said that he hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

Man Yao couldn't help but chuckle, "Zhaoyun, are you still used to being here?" ”

Zhaoyun nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Well, I like it here, Sister Shenyu, and everyone here is very good to me, Sister Rongle, thank you!"

Manyao took her hand and said earnestly: "That's all I can help you, and the rest depends on you." Don't live in the past forever, life is still very long! Can get rid of the shackles and get free, Zhaoyun, I envy you! ”

Zhaoyun's freedom is there, and when will her freedom be there?

It was already noon when I returned to the general's mansion, and after lunch, I took a break in the house to scrape, and then read a book for half a day to beat the time.

When it was dark, Xiang Ying came.

Manyao found a reason to send Ling'er out, and then asked, "How's the investigation?" Did the people bring it? You haven't been seen along the way, have you? ”

Xiang Ying nodded and said, "Master, please rest assured that the mouth has already been brought, but no matter what I ask her, she won't say, so I have to arrange her in my room temporarily."

"Okay." Let's go, let's see. ”

The house where Xiang Ying lived was as simple and clean as he usually was. There was hardly anything in the room except for a single bed and a mulberry that was neither too tall nor big enough.

After being led into the house, he saw a young woman lying in a corner of the bed, sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and delicate facial features, but a beautiful embryo.

Xiang Ying stepped forward to relieve the woman's faint hole, the woman woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes and saw Xiang Ying, she seemed to be frightened, so she wanted to shout.

Man Yao glanced at Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying understood, turned around and closed the door for her, and consciously went to ask the guard.

Man Yao stepped forward and looked at the woman for a while, only to see her apricot eyes wide open, and her eyes full of fear were as clear as the world and simple as the world.

This is the lovely woman in the Qinglou who made Xiao Xiao run to the soft fragrance building? Man Yao frowned, slightly surprised in his heart, this woman doesn't look like a person in the dust, but more like a Qingling woman born in a spiritual mountain far away from the red dust, simple and beautiful, people naturally want to treat her well. Man Yao squatted down, patted the woman's slightly trembling shoulder comfortingly, revealed a smile that was the most difficult to guard, and said in a gentle and friendly voice, "Don't be afraid, girl." I asked you to come with no malice, just to talk to you. I've solved your acupuncture points now, don't make a noise, can you?

Some people are born with a calming power, the woman looked at the smile, the worry and fear in her heart unconsciously subsided, she blinked her big eyes and nodded slightly

Manyao relieved her acupuncture point, and sat down on the edge of the bed with her hand.

The woman turned her head to look at the cause and asked timidly, 'Where is this?' Why am I here? Who are you? Who was that guy just now? Her series of questions amused Manyao, and Manyao explained with a smile: "This is my house, that person was my guard just now, I asked him to bring you here, scared you, right?" ”

The woman nodded, and suddenly there was a lot more defensiveness in her eyes, and she said, 'What are you going to do if you asked him to bring me here?'

Man Yao gently held up the woman's hand, and inadvertently touched her pulse with her fingertips, seeing that her pulse was beating very slowly, and it seemed that she would stop at any time, she couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly frowned: "Who are you from Xiao Xu?" ”

The woman looked panicked, quickly withdrew her hand, stood up, looked at Manyao vigilantly, and said very firmly: Don't talk to me, I won't say anything. Even if you kill me, I won't say anything. After that, she raised her head, looking like she would rather die than give in, which was very cute.

Manxiao couldn't help but laugh, but also a little appreciation, this woman looks weak on the outside, but in fact she is strong, and she seems to be in a hurry.

He looked at her with a smile and really didn't ask anything.

After waiting for a while, the woman saw that Manyao only looked at her and smiled, and did not speak, her dark eyes rolled a few times, and she was very puzzled, and said in her heart, this woman's reaction was different from what she imagined. Supposedly, she should have been pressed or frightened with some harsh punishment. But why did she smile so gently, like the last bit of sunshine in winter, which made people unconsciously want to get closer. The woman blinked a few more times and asked curiously, 'You, you...... What to laugh at? ”

Man Yao smiled kindly: "It's nothing. You don't have to be so defensive of me, I'm Xiao Sha's friend, and I won't harm you. Your hair is messed up, come here, I'll help you comb it. She was like an eldest sister saying the most gentle and intimate words to her sister, and the woman tilted her head and thought about it, but she didn't know what was wrong, and walked over unconsciously. What a single ravioli! Manxiao thought so. Picked up the wooden comb on the table, gently helped her comb it, and chatted with her casually. Although the woman had just met Manyao, she intuitively felt that she was not a bad person, and felt that she was very kind and indescribably comfortable to get along with, so after a while, she slowly let down her guard.

After half a burnt of incense, Man Yao asked, 'Your name is Keren', and the woman pouted: "No, those people gave me a name." ”

Laughing, huh? So what's your real name? The woman replied cheerfully, "My name is Xiao Ke." ”

Xiao Ke? Her surname is Xiao! Manyao suppressed the doubts in his heart and said quietly: "Well, this name is really good." Who helped you get up.

My mother. ”

Your mother must be a very beautiful woman. ”

Yes, my mother is beautiful", she suddenly turned her head excitedly, regardless of whether the comb was done well, she wanted to look at Manyao's eyes and speak, a pair of smiling faces, she was stunned for a moment, and said sullenly: "However, it's still not as good-looking as you." ”

Man Yao chuckled, "Then what about your mother now." Why isn't she with you? ”

Xiao Ke's eyes dimmed, his willow eyebrows furrowed, and he said sadly: "When I was three years old, my father and mother died, in fact, I don't remember what they looked like for a long time. ”

This is to be expected. It's really not easy for a three-year-old child to have no father and mother, and still maintain such an innocent heart! She asked again, "Then you don't have any relatives?" Who brought you up? ”

Xiao Ke didn't think about it, so he replied: "I also have an older brother. When I was a child, I was in very poor health, I was always sick, and the doctors in the city said that I would not live to be five years old, and my brother did not believe me, so he went to Snow King Mountain to ask my master to take me in. He knelt in front of the Master's door for many days, and the Master was annoyed by him and came out to drive him away, but when he saw me, he somehow agreed. ”

Having said that, the relationship between this woman and Xiao Xu is already very clear. Since the enemy and the enemy have been turned off, and the cause and effect have been guessed a few points beforehand, Manyao decided not to take any more factors, pull her last strand of head, face to face with her, and directly and affirmatively say that you are Xiao Xu's sister! ”

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, as if only then did she know the reason why the woman was chatting with her, she instinctively wanted to deny it, but Manyao suddenly straightened her face and said with a serious expression: "Do you want your brother to live?" ”

Xiao Ke was shocked, his face turned a little pale, and he asked anxiously: What's wrong with my brother Cao? Did something happen to him? ”

"Not yet, but soon"

Xiao Ke stood up suddenly, his eyes flustered, and he was at a loss. Manyao took her hand, her face became gentler, and she said softly, "Don't worry. As long as you're willing to cooperate, I promise he'll be fine. It's just, "The poison in you,"

Are you sure? Can you save my brother? Xiao Ke didn't wait for her to finish, and then shouted happily, "It doesn't matter what poison I have."

Manyao hurriedly covered her mouth, "Be quiet." You know you've been poisoned...... Then you know what kind of poison you have. Xiao Ke nodded and said, "I know." This poison is called "Seven Flowers" is a combination of seven kinds of poisonous flowers, and if there is no special antidote, I will die. ”

Stunned, the secret medicine of the royal family of Qiyun Kingdom, how could she be a little girl who knew so clearly, with Xiao Xu's character, it was unlikely that she would die without an antidote. After thinking about it, Xiao Ke suddenly asked suspiciously: "You said that you are my brother's friend, but I have never heard my brother mention you," she tilted her head and thought carefully and seriously, suddenly her eyes lit up, her apricot eyes widened, and said: "Ah! I see, you're a princess, aren't you?"

was stunned for a moment, it seems that although this woman is simple, she is not brainless, and she guessed her identity at once. Man Xiao smiled and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

Xiao Ke nodded again and again, grabbed Manyao's arm, and suddenly became very intimate, as if she had already known Manyao, "She leaned over and looked at Manyao, and her brother told me that the most was the princess." My brother and I, are the princesses beautiful? He said, "It's beautiful." The elder brother also said that the princess was very good to her subordinates as if she were a friend. Ah, and... A few days ago, my brother suddenly came to me and said that he had injured the princess by mistake and asked me to help the princess treat the injury, but I don't know why, and then he said no. My brother hadn't laughed much since that day. I felt that he was sad, but he didn't tell me,"

Listening to her quietly, her expression moved slightly, but she didn't say a word, and after a long while, she said, "Do you know how to heal?" You just said that your master took you in, so who is your master? ”

Xiao Ke said: "I don't know Master's name, but I heard others call her 'Snow Lonely Holy Maiden,'" ”

Manxiao was stunned, looking at her in surprise, she turned out to be the apprentice of the Snow Lonely Holy Maiden? I heard that the Xue Gu Holy Woman is arrogant, has a strange temper, has excellent medical skills but never likes to save the dead and help the wounded, this person is especially good at poison, and she is ruthless, her imperial brother once went to the Snow Jade Mountain to ask her to go down the mountain to help, but the result was in vain, and then soon after, the news of the death of the Snow Gu Holy Maiden came out. I can't imagine that the apprentice of the Snow Lonely Saintess who is amazing in poison will also be poisoned by others, and I don't know if the Snow Lonely Saintess will be so angry that she will crawl out of the ground if she knows about it. Man Yao frowned and asked, "How can you know that the 'Seven Flowers' can still be poisoned?" How much do you know about Xiao Sha? ”

Xiao Ke said innocently: "I was bored in the mountains, so I went down the mountain to find my brother, and I met those people" They said to take me to my brother, poisoned me while I was asleep, and sent me to the soft fragrance building. I heard them tell my brother that this secret mission was very important, and if he couldn't complete it, he would let me pick him up.

This girl probably doesn't know what a pick-up is! She is really simple, others said to take him to find her brother, and she believed it! However, she did find her brother, but the price was also very high. Man Yao sighed helplessly and asked, "Can't you solve this poison yourself?"

Xiao Ke said: "I know the method of detoxification, but I still lack precious medicinal materials. Sister Princess, can you help me find it? I don't want my brother to be bullied by those bad guys for me. ”

Her princess sister, how natural her call is, it seems to be a matter of course. "What kind of medicinal herb is it?" ”

Xiao Ke tilted his head and said, "The Seven Absolute Xin that can cure a hundred poisons." ”

It must be a rare medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons, which is rare in the world. Man Yao frowned, and said: "Do you know where it is?" ”

Xiao Ke shook her head blankly, suddenly felt a little headache in her head, and remembered that it was a full moon night, she helped her forehead, "I'll let someone send you back, you can't tell anyone about today's events, including your brother." ”

Xiao Ke wondered: "Why?"

Man Yao took her hand and walked to the door, saying as he walked: "I also told you for a while that I didn't invite Chu, you just need to remember that I went to save him." ”

Xiao Ke nodded incomprehensibly.

Manyao called Xiang Ying and asked him to send Xiao Ke back to Soft Xianglou for the time being, and secretly protect her safety.

After explaining everything, Manyao walked slowly on the path back to Qingjing Garden alone, and the people on the road saluted her, but she didn't react at all. There was chaos in his mind, what did the imperial brother want to do, "Kill the prince of the Dustwind Country, cause a war between the Dusty Wind Kingdom and the Lintian Kingdom, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman?" But did the imperial brother ever think about what would happen if the assassination failed? What should she do with this princess? Is the imperial power so important? It's important enough to sacrifice your loved ones at will! She even remembered that when she opened the Cloud Kingdom, the imperial brother personally sent dozens of miles to her, and finally said to her so sincerely: Imperial sister, you are the last relative of the imperial brother in this world, and the imperial brother hopes that you can live happily!

Is this how the royal brother wants her to be happy? first chose a husband for herself, forcing her to surrender, and now regardless of her life or death, she ordered the assassination of the prince of Dustwind. She suddenly couldn't tell whether the brother's affection in those three years was true or false?

What is true in this world? What is true?

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Qingjing Garden, she had a severe headache, as if she was about to explode, and she couldn't even stand still.

Are you alright, ma'am? One of the guards saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Man Yao leaned on the round arch next to him, gasped, shook his head laboriously, and said, "Go and call Ling'er over."

The guard saw that her face was pale, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went, and after less than a moment, Ling'er ran all the way over, and said with an anxious face: Master, where have you been? I'm looking for you everywhere, the medicine is ready, go drink it.

"Well, he took her hand and slowly entered the room, picked up the medicine on the table, frowned, and drank it all in one gulp. This is the medicine she must take every month, I heard that she suffered a cold in the cold palace when she was a child, and her subordinates did not take care of the headache. Every time the moon is full, it will be done, every time it was not serious before, as long as you drink the medicine and sleep, but this time the time to drink the medicine is only half an hour late, why is the pain so bad?

Before she could think about it, her upper eyelids were on top of her eyelids and she couldn't open them. Ling'er helped her into the bedroom, and as soon as she lay down on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the moon, the night becomes peaceful and quiet. Bo Chou only returned home at this time, and as soon as he entered the study, the mildness on his face faded, and his tired face appeared. He left no lamp, threw himself into a finely crafted bamboo chair in the dark, closed his eyes and destroyed his temples.

Today is the twenty-fifth day he hasn't seen her! I wonder if she will think of him by accident? He became more and more afraid to face her, because she was always sharp and straight to the point, so that he had to face reality. But without her, the days seem to be infinitely long.

A woman in black walked out of the shadows, stepped forward directly, raised her slender five fingers to pull away his hand, and accurately pressed his acupoint.

Fu Chip relaxed, quietly enjoying the soothing, and exhaled heavily.

The woman in black looked down at the tired face of the man under her hand, her eyes gradually overflowed with strong distress, and she said softly: "Why does the young master force himself like this? Obviously, there are many things that you don't need to ask about personally, but if you have to take it to yourself, are you "afraid that you will involuntarily think of her when you are free?"

Fu Chip suddenly opened his eyes, his expression was still gentle, but that gentle gaze made the woman in black can't help but tremble.

Pu Chip's emotionless voice was particularly cold in the dark room, "It seems that you still don't recognize your identity." ”

The woman in black paused slightly, then continued, and said: The subordinates know their identities, and they also know that the subordinates have no right to ask about the young master's affairs, but the door master told the subordinates that the autumn hunt is coming, and the young master should make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Fu Chip's hand hanging on the edge of the chair trembled slightly, and the deep lines between his eyebrows were like a sharp sword piercing his heart, hurting to his bones.

He closed his eyes again, and even in the darkness of the night, the struggle in his eyes did not want to be seen. After a long time, he never said as lightly as he used to, "I know."

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, the sadness in her eyes became more and more intense, and she tentatively called out to the young master, you"

Fu Chip suddenly interrupted: Is there any movement on the prince's side recently? ”

The woman in black didn't expect him to change the topic, was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Everything is normal. ”

Fu Chooen sighed, and said, "How is Concubine Lian's matter?"

The woman in black said, "According to the young master's orders, it has been done." She has endured a lot of hardships in the cold palace during this time, and she is looking forward to going out, so she is very willing to cooperate with us. Tonight is the night of the full moon, and if all goes well, the news of her return to grace should come out tomorrow. However, young master, is that method really useful, she is in Wuyong Village in the cold palace in the middle of the night, and playing a cloud heart song can make her get out of the cold palace smoothly? ”

Fu Chip said: "Whether it is useful or not, we will know tomorrow." Everyone has a death hole, and the death hole of Emperor Lin is the memory of him and Yun Guifei. ”

The woman in black nodded, and stopped talking. She thought the same, what is the death hole of the young master? Is that the woman? She didn't ask.

In such a dark night, in such a quiet room, there were only the two of them, the woman in black suddenly had a thought, stopped the movements in her hands, walked gently to him and sat down, leaned down without warning, put her arms around the man's lean and strong waist, and lay on his chest, wanting to hear the sound of his heartbeat, although she knew how unruly such actions were with them, and knew that the heart was never beating for her, but she just wanted to hear it, as long as she heard it, she felt that it was a kind of proximity.

Get up. The unceremonious voice embellished the day with a little coldness.

The woman in black raised a beautiful face, and a string of tears quickly slid down and landed on the chest of the man below him, young master..., he hadn't looked at her in a long time, it seemed that it was since the woman appeared.

Fu Chip didn't seem to be able to see the tearful face of the pear blossom, only his voice sank, and the always gentle breath instantly became extremely cold, I told you to get up, can't you hear it? ”

The woman in black bit her lip, slowly stood up, took a few steps back, turned around, and suddenly pulled the belt around her waist, and the black gauze instantly fell to the ground, revealing a slender and graceful body.

The doors and windows of the study were closed, the moonlight through the windows was as pale as tulle, and the woman's bumpy body was shrouded in a hazy alluring light.

The look in Fu Chip's eyes changed suddenly, and the beautiful person who was as white as jade in the blue pool suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart and sat up. The woman in black turned slowly, almost holding her breath, waiting for his reaction. If she can't get into his heart, she is willing to be a stand-in.

Fu Chip's five fingers clasped the edge of the chair collapse under him, the Adam's apple rolled, and the green tendons on his hands showed his forbearance at the moment, he couldn't deny that he had reacted to this woman with a similar posture to her. He's a normal man after all!

But he clearly knew that the person in front of him was not the woman in his heart. Sometimes, being too sober is not a good thing.

His subordinates unconsciously exerted their strength, only to hear a click, the edge of the bamboo collapse was actually broken by him, and the sharp bamboo sticks pierced into the palms of his hands, and the fine pieces hurt.

Let's go. Don't do such stupid things again. You're not anyone's stand-in, and no one else can be her stand-in. He slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the naked woman in front of him.

The woman in black almost bit her lip and was trembling all over, isn't that okay? She wanted to give him some comfort, but she didn't expect that in his eyes, she didn't even deserve to be a stand-in?! She crushed her pride, and she couldn't get a moment of pity from him.

Strings of tears rolled down her cheeks and spilled into her mouth, and she swallowed silently. Silently bent down and put on the clothes on the ground, quietly touched his tears, and made a formal salute, young master, "Retire." ”

Fu Chip watched her leave and didn't speak. After a while, he shouted to his newly replaced personal guard standing outside: Chang Jian, call the guards of Qingmiyuan to come and see me. ”

Be. ”

When the guards who had been waiting outside for a long time heard the voice, they hurriedly entered the house and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the general!" ”

He asked casually, "What's the special thing happening today?" ”

The guard said: "General, in the morning, Mrs. went to the Moon Tea Garden by appointment and met the prince of the Dust Wind. When it was dark, he went to the guard's room again. ”

Bo Chou frowned and said, "What is she going to do in Xiang Ying's room?" ”

The guard said, "My subordinates don't know." Xiang's guards were guarding the door, and his subordinates couldn't get close. ”

Fu Chip pondered for a moment and said: "There are outsiders coming in the house today",

The subordinates have checked the same, and no one has ever seen outsiders enter the house. ”

A hint of doubt flashed in Bo Chou's gentle eyes, and then he waved his hand and motioned for him to stand down. The guard received the order, and just after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and turned around and continued to report: General, when the lady returned to Qingjing Garden, she suddenly had a headache and almost fainted, and then it was useless for dinner, so she went to sleep.

Fu Chip was stunned for a moment, and then asked again, and the voice was not as casual as before, but can you ask for a doctor? ”

Ling'er said that there was no need to call a doctor. ”

Fu Chip's face turned pale, and he didn't change his clothes, so he went straight to Qingjing Garden.

The familiar room was filled with the light and fragrant smell of a woman, and the widow walked very lightly, silently like a ghost. He sat gently on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping face of the woman shrouded in the silver-white moonlight, and the corner of his heart that had been quietly opened became softer and softer.

As soon as he walked into this room, the fatigue of many days was suddenly swept away, and the persistence of so many days was gone, and it became meaningless at this moment.

Rong Le, the autumn hunt is coming, what should I do? This is a question that he has asked himself countless times in his mind these days. She is absolutely right, a chess player who has feelings for the chess pieces in his hand, and when it is time to sacrifice, he will be embarrassed and miserable. Why does she always see everything so thoroughly and look so far away?

From the very beginning, someone told him that this woman could not love, and at that time, he thought very disdainfully in his heart, how could a person who didn't even love himself fall in love with someone else? Besides, he has a heavy burden in his body, and his emotions are just superfluous, and he never takes it to heart. But when he saw this woman at a glance, he had a bad premonition, this woman may be the catastrophe he can't escape!

And everything that followed confirmed his intuition.

It's not that he hasn't tried to fight himself, he has deliberately ignored and avoided it, but in the end it didn't help. He didn't touch her for more than a year, and he lied to himself at first that it was to leave a thought for Zongzheng Wuwu, so that Zongzheng Wuwu couldn't forget her, but in fact, he was even more afraid that he would sink into the tenderness for her and couldn't help himself. He always deliberately treats her well and deliberately keeps his distance, but those superficial things can never defeat the contradictions and struggles hidden in his heart.

He liked her indifference and intelligence; admiring her cunning; I feel sorry for her strong stubbornness; Shocked that she saw her fate so clearly early on, and sought a corner of Qingning in the use of conspiracy that she knew! Who can be like her, in the game, but can turn herself into an outsider spectator, watching the joys and sorrows of her fate, so calm and calm,

If she doesn't pretend to be someone else in her heart, if her emotions are tied to him, then can he also justifiably compete with fate? At least, there is a reason, for love!

During these days, he thought about it a lot, but he still didn't come up with a result.

Fu Chip couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroked her face, a little cold, he suddenly felt something wrong, his heart was immediately shocked, he reached out to test her snort, and his body shook.

She, not breathing!

He immediately probed her pulse, listened to her heartbeat, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly, "Someone."

There are thousands of red faces and white pains
