Chapter 8 Sudden Sadness

In the morning, Xiao Yao left Shennong Mountain with Coral and Miao Pu.

She had other plans in mind, and under the pretext that she wanted to buy something, she wandered around the streets. Finally breaking away from Coral and Miao Pu, she sneaked into Tu Shan's carriage and horse shop, handed over a wooden box to the manager, and asked them to send it to Qingshui Town.

The box is the poison made by Xiao Yao, although Xiang Liu has asked Zhen Xuan for a "diagnosis fee", but after all, he saved her life, Xiao Yao was in Gaoxin for three months, the spirit grass and elixir treasured in Wushen Mountain were scavenged, and a lot of poisons were refined, which can be regarded as thanking Xiang Liu.

After the explanation is clear and the account is paid, Xiao Yao came out of the carriage and horse shop, and saw the shops on the street, bustling, and couldn't help but smile slightly, probably experienced too much upheaval, every time she saw this kind of vitality full of red dust and fireworks, even if it had nothing to do with herself, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Looking around, Xiao Yao saw a familiar figure.

Feng Shao led the Pegasus and came from the hustle and bustle. His eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, like an ordinary son of a family.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but be full of footsteps, watching him come step by step from the red dust of Jiuqu, knowing that there was no hope, but still hoping that this smoky aura could keep him.

Feng Shao stood in front of her and asked with a smile, "Are you back?"

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I'm back." โ€

The two asked and answered, as if they were really neighbors, relatives and friends. But Xiaoyao remembers very clearly that last time, the two broke up unhappily at the door of the casino, he was murderous, and she fled in a hurry.

Feng Shao asked, "Have you been practicing archery seriously lately?"

"For the rest of your life, where do you dare to slack off? I'm practicing every day. โ€

Feng Shao nodded and said approvingly: "There is never too much ability to save your life." โ€

Xiao Yao asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Yiyi?" Is there still time to teach me archery? I got a good bow from the Jin Tian Clan, and I wanted you to show it. โ€

Feng Shao smiled: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, what now?"

Xiao Yao thought about it, she could get to Qingqiu in half an hour, and Mrs. Tai's pills were not in a hurry for this day, and said, "Okay!"

Feng Shao turned over and got on the Pegasus, and Xiao Yao held his hand and got on the Pegasus.

Miao Pu and Coral hurriedly ran over, and Xiao Yao waved at them: "Wait for me outside Xiao Zhurong's mansion." After saying that, he didn't care about the two of them yelling and jumping, and left with Feng Shao.

The Pegasus stopped in a grassy, uninhabited valley where Xiao Yao and Feng Shao used to practice archery.

Feng Shao said, "Where's your bow?"

Xiao Yao stretched out her hand, and a silver bow appeared in her palm.

Feng Shao squinted, looked at it, and nodded: "Not bad!"

The little demon said, "What do you want me to?"

Feng Shao picked a leaf casually, flicked it into the air, and the leaf turned into a kingfisher, driven by his aura, the kingfisher flew into the sky as fast as lightning.

Feng Shao said: "I used three percent of spiritual power. โ€

Xiao Yao meditated and contemplated, taking arrows and bows.

With a whoosh, arrows flew out and a kingfisher fell from the sky.

Feng Shao stretched out his hand, and the kingfisher landed on his palm, and the silver arrow hit the kingfisher's heart.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but show a smug smile: "Master, are you still satisfied with my apprentice?"

Feng Shao looked at Xiao Yao with a smile: "I have always been satisfied with your apprentice." โ€

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed, and glared at Feng Shao: "I mean archery!"

Feng Shao looked innocent: "I'm also talking about archery!" What do you think I'm talking about?"

Xiao Yao was helpless with him, and said stupidly: "Anyway, I can't quarrel with you, I can't beat you, I don't dare to think anything!"

Feng Shao took the bow from Xiao Yao's hand, looked at it for a while and said: "If you just play, this level is enough, if you want to kill, you might as well be more ruthless." โ€

Xiao Yao said: "This is originally a weapon to kill, I plan to quench the poison on the arrow, once it is shot, there will be death and no life." โ€

Feng Shao returned the bow to Xiao Yao, smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are out of school." โ€

The bow turned into a silver light and disappeared on Xiao Yao's arm, and Xiao Yao asked, "Am I out of the school?"

"Your spiritual power is low, and your archery skills have reached this point, which is already the extreme. You have mastered everything I can teach you. From now on, you don't need to learn archery from me. โ€

Xiao Yao was stunned, and a trace of amazement surged in her heart. A joke a few decades ago, to now, it seems that in the blink of an eye, it seems that it has experienced a lot.

Feng Shao smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Reluctant to let me be a master?"

Xiao Yao glared at him: "I'm thinking that since I'm out of school, should you give me a gift for leaving the school?"

Feng Feng frowned and thought about it, sighed, and said regretfully: "A long time ago, I planned to give you a good bow when you are successful in archery, but you already have a good bow, so I won't give it away." โ€

Xiao Yao sneered, "I doubt that you will be willing to give me a good bow." โ€

Feng Shao looked at the crescent-shaped bow mark on Xiao Yao's arm and smiled silently.

Xiao Yao solemnly saluted: "Thank you for teaching me archery." โ€

Feng Shao smiled lazily: "This archery technique is the secret skill of the Feng family, I will not feel distressed if I give it to you." I said back then, I teach you archery, you play with me, the only thing I pay is time, and what I need you to pay back is time, which has always been a fair deal. โ€

"A pen is so clear, you really don't lose at all!"

Feng Shao smiled at Xiao Yao: "Do you want to take advantage of me?"

Xiao Yao said self-deprecatingly: "I can't count your nine heads, it's good to be able to trade fairly." โ€

Feng Shao squinted, looked at the long white clouds in the distance, and after half a ring, said: "Although I didn't teach you archery today, but it has already come out, just thank the teacher and accompany me for half a day!"

The little demon said, "Good!"

******

In the afternoon, Xiao Yaocai returned with Feng Shao.

Miao Pu and Coral were relieved to see her, Xiao Yao jumped off the Tianma, waved his hand to Feng Shao, and turned around and entered Xiao Zhurong's mansion.

Xinyue accompanied Xiao Yao to the Muxi Garden, and waited for the quiet night to open the garden door. Xinyue said to Xiao Yao: "I won't greet you." โ€

Xiao Yao said: "We come and go, we have already regarded your family as our own, you don't have to pay attention to me, Jing and I will go directly to Qingqiu later." โ€

Xinyue smiled: "Okay, help me and my brother say hello to Mrs. Tai." โ€

Jingye led Xiao Yao into the house: "Son, Wang Ji is here." โ€

Jing stood in front of the case, looking at Xiao Yao quietly, his eyes calm and restrained.

Xiao Yao chuckled in his heart, but he seemed a little strange, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Aren't I welcome to come? Mrs. Tai's pills should be finished, let's go to Qingqiu!"

Jing seemed to have just come to his senses, and walked over a few steps, wanting to hug Xiao Yao into his arms, but he seemed to hesitate, and only took Xiao Yao's hand.

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Let's go!"

"Hmm." Jing pulled Xiao Yao and went out.

The two of them went to the clouds, and Jing was still very quiet.

Xiao Yao thought it was because she didn't say goodbye to Gaoxin, and said, "I went to Gaoxin alone." I just feel that since I woke up, we have been forced to move forward by the situation, you need to calm down and think about it carefully, I also need to accompany my father. โ€

Jing whispered, "Xiao Yao." โ€

"Xiaoyao."

"Well, I'm here."

"Little ......"

Xiao Yao looked at Jing suspiciously, but Jing didn't say anything.

When the sun shadow slanted to the west, it reached Qingqiu.

Jing took Xiao Yao to meet Mrs. Tai first.

As soon as I entered Mrs. Tai's courtyard, I saw a row of bird shelves hanging under the porch, and a few mallet finches were dozing off with their eyes closed.

A vigorous mallet stopped on Mrs. Tai's hand, and Mrs. Tai fed it the spirit fruit, and it chirped happily when it took a bite. Seeing Jing and Xiao Yao coming in, as if they understood that people wanted to talk about business, they put their heads on Mrs. Tai's hand, muttered a few times, flew out of the window, and rushed into the blue sky.

Xiao Yao laughed: "This little thing doesn't need a cage anymore." โ€

Mrs. Tai smiled: "It's weird, knowing that I have a spirit fruit to eat here, and we all worship it as a treasure, where are you willing to leave?"

Xiao Yao checked Mrs. Tai's pulse, and Mrs. Tai said: "You don't need to take the pulse, I know that I am very good." In the past, when I slept, I was most afraid of birds dozing off, but now I feel comfortable listening to these mallet birds. โ€

Xiao Yao said to Snakeberry: "You have taken good care of Mrs. Tai, and I want to trouble you to take a bowl of your own blood." โ€

Snakeberry saluted Xiao Yao with sincere fear, and said sneeringly: "It's all what should be done." โ€

Hou said to the little demon, "The herbs you need are ready. โ€

Xiao Yao said to everyone: "In order to refine medicine, I need to take a good rest, so I will retire first." โ€

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "Wang Ji just have a good rest, no one is allowed to disturb her!"

After dinner, Xiao Yao had a good night's sleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, after waking up, she checked all the medicinal materials and utensils, and saw that everything was complete, she sent the maid to call Snakeberry and Hu Zhen, and asked Hu Zhen to take a bowl of blood from Snakeberry in a jade bowl.

Just like last time, Xiao Yao spent seven days and seven nights refining a hundred pills. However, this time, she took Hu Zhen with her and asked him to learn with him. Hu Zhen has superb medical skills, and he is smart, under Xiao Yao's careful teaching, after seven days, he has completely learned, and next time Hu Zhen can make medicine for Mrs. Tai alone.

Hu Zhen sincerely thanked Xiao Yao, as a doctor, he naturally knew that following Xiao Yao for the past seven days, he learned more than just refining a medicine.

When the medicine was ninety percent, it was already evening, and Xiao Yao instructed Coral to use a jade bottle to fill the pills in a bottle of ten pills.

Xiao Yao was so tired that she didn't even bother to eat and lie down to sleep.

After sleeping until noon on the second day, Xiao Yao got up and shouted, "I'm so hungry." โ€

Coral and Miao Pu smiled and brought out the meal they had prepared earlier, and Xiao Yao devoured it, rested for a while, and said to Sango, "Prepare the bath water." โ€

Soaking his whole body in the bath water boiled out of the herbs, Xiao Yao felt refreshed.

Miao Pu sat aside and helped Xiao Yao add hot water: "Wang Ji." โ€

"Huh?"

"The slave maid saw that Feng Yiying went to Xuan Xiyuan to find Master Jing, and she had a cold face in the quiet night, blocking the door, and didn't let her enter the door at all, she really didn't give any affection. Jingye dared to be so kind of Fengfeng, it must have been ordered by Gongzi Jing. Thankfully, Mr. Jing has finally opened his mind!"

Xiao Yao laughed: "You, some things are yours and naturally yours, and it's useless to stare at them if they're not yours." โ€

Miao Pu pouted and didn't say anything.

Xiao Yao got dressed, covered her hair, and took the refined pills to see Mrs. Tai.

Jing, Hou, Yiying, and Lan Mei are all there, and they are laughing with Mrs. Tai.

Xiao Yao took the refined pill to Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai asked her personal maid Xiaoyu to put it away, and asked, "Can't you refine more at a time?" Hou didn't trust Xiao Yao, although Mrs. Tai's time was short, but relying on Xiao Yao for medicine like this, he always felt like Xiao Yao had grabbed a weakness.

Xiao Yao replied lightly: "With the financial resources of the Tu Shan clan, the elixir and the spirit fruit naturally want as much as they want, but the blood of the snakeberry must not be taken more, taking a bowl every three months is already the limit, and if you take more, the blood will not be good enough, even if the medicine is refined, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced, Mrs. Tai eats it, and she can't suppress the pain at all, it's like the spirit grass to find the best growing spirit grass, and the snakeberry must be in the best state of the body, and the blood taken out will have the best medicinal effect." Xiao Yao's words were half-true, she didn't believe Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Tai, she was afraid that they would hurt Snakeberry in order to get the medicine, so she used words to bluff them, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Tai didn't understand Gu art at all, and when she heard Xiao Yao say plainly, she couldn't say that she believed it out of ten, but she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Xiao Yao changed his words and said: "I have already taught Hu Zhen to refine medicine, even if I have something to do in the future, I can't come." Mrs. Tai can also rest assured that she will never delay Mrs. Tai's medicine. โ€

Mrs. Tai and Hou were surprised and delighted, they didn't believe that Xiao Yao would teach the prescription to Hu Zhen so easily, even for ordinary people, life-saving prescriptions can also be worth a thousand gold, not to mention that this is a prescription that can make Tu Shan's Mrs. Tai alleviate pain and prolong life?

Hou immediately ordered someone to call Hu Zhen over, and Mrs. Tai asked, "I heard Wang Ji say that you can refine medicine for me alone, but is it true?"

Hu Zhen replied: "It's true, fortunately Wang Ji taught it carefully." โ€

Mrs. Tai watched Hu Zhen grow up, and knew him very well about his steady and careful temperament, otherwise she would not have entrusted the unconscious Jing to him to take care of back then, hearing Hu Zhen's words, Mrs. Tai was finally relieved and let Hu Zhen retreat.

Mrs. Tai was a little embarrassed, and said to Xiao Yao with a smile: "Wang Ji's status is noble, refining medicine is too hard, and I am really embarrassed to always trouble you to refine medicine." โ€

Xiao Yao didn't seem to know Mrs. Tai's careful eyes at all, and said with a smile: "Refining medicine is really hard, but fortunately, Hu Zhen learned it." โ€

Jing stared at the bright and intelligent Xiaoyao, and felt sad. Why didn't he understand his grandmother's mind? But it was his grandmother, an old man who was dying of the end of his life, and he couldn't blame him.

Xiao Yao sat for a while, planning to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai, if she set off now, she would have time to rush back to Shennong Mountain before dinner.

She was just about to speak, when she suddenly saw Yi Ying, who had been standing next to the couch, staggering, and was about to fall.

Xiao Yao shouted: "Hold on to ......" Before she finished speaking, Yiying had fallen to the ground softly and fainted.

Mrs. Tai called, "Quick." Hurry up ......"

The maidservant hurriedly helped Yiying up, put her on the couch, and shouted: "Doctor, go and pass the doctor!"

Yiying had already woken up and forced herself to get up: "I'm fine, I guess I didn't sleep well last night, and I was just dizzy for a while." "As soon as she sat up, she vomited and vomited all over her servant.

Before the doctor arrived, Mrs. Tai said to Xiao Yao anxiously: "Wang Ji, please help me take a look first." โ€

Xiao Yao walked to the couch, put her fingers on Yiying's wrist, and after a moment, her face changed suddenly, and she actually shook herself, as if she was about to fall, and the maid hurriedly supported her.

Mrs. Tai asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" Is it serious?"

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and sat on the couch with the handmaid's hand, she forced all her emotions and checked the pulse of Feng Yi again. After a while, she withdrew her hand and stepped aside. The hand hidden in her sleeve trembled, and even she felt that her legs were fighting, but she smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Fangfeng is pregnant." โ€

The room was silent all of a sudden, so quiet that a needle could be heard, and everyone looked strange, it was a good thing to be pregnant, but it was difficult to say if you were unmarried and pregnant.

Mrs. Tai opened her mouth first and asked Yiying: "You and Jing have ......"

Feng Yiying glanced at Jing quickly, her face was full of shame, and tears fell in her eyes: "Please forgive Grandma...... Don't blame him...... It's all my fault! I was confused for a while......"

This is tantamount to admitting that the child is Jing's, and everyone's faces are relieved, although it is very unusual to be pregnant before marriage, but now that the wife is about to live a few days, it is more important than anything to have a grandchild.

Mrs. Tai grabbed Yiying's hand, burst into tears of joy, and kept saying: "Die without regrets, die without regrets!"

Yiying lowered her head, wiped her tears, and said ashamedly, "I, I...... I've never dared to tell my grandmother. โ€

Mrs. Tai looked at Feng Yiying babyishly: "Don't blame you, blame me!" Because of my body, I have not been able to take care of your marriage, don't worry, I will ask the elders to hold the wedding as soon as possible. โ€

All the maidservants said hello to Mrs. Tai, and Xiao Yao looked at Jing calmly, Jing's face was pale, and her face was full of grief and despair.

Xiao Yao laughed, she was still lucky, hoping that this child had nothing to do with Jing.

Everyone in the room gathered around the couch, Xiao Yao turned around and walked out, no one noticed her leaving, only Jing kept looking at her, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make any sound.

Coral and Miao Pu saw Xiao Yao walking out of Mrs. Tai's house, and kept smiling, as if they were in a very good mood.

Miao Pu smiled and asked, "Wang Ji, what's the good thing?"

Xiao Yao said: "Go back to Shennong Mountain immediately." โ€

Coral and Miao Pu responded: "Yes!"

The three of them took the cloud chariot and returned to Shennong Mountain, and Miao Pu asked: "Wang Ji, I just heard the noise in Mrs. Tai's house, what happened happily?"

Xiao Yao smiled, as if she hadn't heard anything. Miao Pu shouted: "Wang Ji?"

Xiao Yao looked at her and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Miao Pu shook his head: "It's okay." Wang Ji, you ...... Are you alright?"

Xiao Yao laughed: "Me? I'm fine!"

Miao Pu and Coral felt that Xiao Yao seemed to be normal, and even seemed very happy, but it made them feel panicked.

By the time we arrived at the Purple Palace, it was already dark.

When Ah Nian saw Xiao Yao, he immediately pounced and said aggrievedly: "Sister, you have to help me!" Brother Zhen took me to see the plum blossoms, Xinyue actually had to follow, she always made a sister-in-law in front of me, it seemed that everything was polite to me, but everything was crowded with me! She always talked to her brother about what this clan was, how that clan was, and my brother didn't have time to pay attention to me in order to talk to her. I listened to it next to me, and Xinyue squeezed me to tell me that these things were annoying, let me play, there was no need to accompany her! Where am I to accompany her? Brother Zhen really listened to her and let me play by myself! Sister, you help me get rid of Xinyue! Before I came to Shennong Mountain, I said that I could accept that Brother Zhuan had other women!" Ah Nian stomped his feet, "But it doesn't include Xinyue, except for Xinyue, I can accept anyone!"

Xiao Yao smiled and walked step by step.

Ah Nian shook Xiao Yao: "Sister, sister, can you help me?"

Zhen Xuan came out of the hall and saw Ah Nian coquettish to Xiao Yao, and couldn't help laughing, but immediately, he felt that something was wrong, Xiao Yao was as sluggish as a puppet, Ah Nian actually pulled Xiao Yao as if he was about to fall, and hurriedly said: "Ah Nian, let go of ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yao's body rushed forward, and he flew forward. hugged her, and Xiao Yao spit a mouthful of blood on the placket of her clothes.

Zhen Xuan immediately picked up Xiao Yao, and while running towards the hall, he shouted: "Bring Yin immediately!"

Ah Nian was stupid, and while running behind Zhuan, he said hurriedly, "I didn't use my strength." But Xinyue was very annoyed at the mention of Xinyue, and she was not sure, "Maybe...... Used a little bit. โ€

Zhen Yao carefully put Xiao Yao on the couch, Xiao Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is a mouthful of blood stagnant in the heart, and spitting it out is good for the body." โ€

Xiaoxiao grabbed Yin and flew like the wind, Xiao Yao said, "I really don't need to!"

Zhen Xuan glared at her, Xiao Yao had no choice but to hand her wrist to Yin, and after Yin's careful examination, she compared the painting.

Ah Nian watched and told Xiao Yao: "He said that you were suddenly overly sad, but you didn't conform to your emotions and let your sadness vent out, but forcibly suppressed it, hurting your heart." The blood just now is the blood of stasis in the heart, and it is good to spit it out, and he said that you should calm down and recuperate during this time, and there should be no more emotions of great joy and sorrow. โ€

Zhen Xuan asked Yin to retreat, and Ah Nian asked in confusion, "Sister, what happened to you?" How can anyone like you be sad?"

Xiao Yao smiled: "People like me? I don't seem to have a long heart. โ€

Zhen Yan said: "There are only three of us brothers and sisters in this room, since you can't laugh, don't force yourself to laugh and show others!"

Xiao Yao smiled slightly: "It's not that I laugh to others, but I get used to it, I can't cry at all, anyway, life is like this, crying for a day, laughing for a day, since I always have to live, it's best to face it with a smile, everyone loves to see a smile, but few people like crying!"

Zhen Wei only felt sad, but Ah Nian realized something and looked at Xiao Yao blankly.

"Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "I really can't eat it at this time, make me some soup and put it away!" I drink a little when I'm hungry. You don't have to accompany me, go eat your meal, I'll sleep, and everything will be fine. โ€

He pulled Ah Nian and walked out of the house. He said to Sango, "Take care of Wang Ji. Glancing at Miao Pu, Miao Pu immediately followed him and left.

Xiao Yao took a sleeping pill and fell asleep grogily.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yao woke up, she felt uncomfortable, but her body was weak and she couldn't get up.

Zhen Yao, who was resting outside, woke up immediately, walked over quickly, helped Xiao Yao sit up, put a jacket on Xiao Yao, and served Xiao Yao the soup that had been warm. Xiao Yao drank it in one gulp, and felt a little better in his chest and abdomen.

Zhen Yan touched her forehead: "I have a fever, but Yin said, you have a special physique, don't rush to take medicine first, drink more soup, the most important thing is that you have to keep your mood calm." โ€

Xiao Yao leaned on the soft pillow and asked softly, "Why are you guarding outside?" Isn't there a maid in the Purple Gold Palace?"

"I don't worry about you."

"I'm fine, I've been growing up, what haven't happened to me? Can you really live or die for a man?"

"Yes, you're fine, the person who vomited blood and got sick with a fever is another person, not you."

"Don't talk so badly, it'll be all right in a few days."

"I asked Miao Pu, and she said that when you went to deliver medicine to Mrs. Tu Shan, everything was normal, but when you came out of Mrs. Tai's house, it was wrong, what happened?"

Xiao Yao said wryly, "I want to sleep again." โ€

He said, "Do you want to hide it from me?" Yin said that Xiaoyao's temperament is too restrained, and it is best to try to let her tell her sad things and not accumulate depression in her heart.

Xiao Yao smiled and sighed: "It's not to hide it from you, but it's really not a big deal, it doesn't matter if you mention it or not." โ€

Zhen felt that his heart was like a needle prick, and many times, he also told himself over and over again that it was not a big deal: his mother committed suicide, it is not a big deal, anyway, everyone's mother will die sooner or later; It's not a big deal if his uncle wants to kill him, anyway, everyone will have evil relatives......

He asked softly, "What the hell is going on?"

Xiao Yao smiled: "It's just that Feng Yiying suddenly fainted, and I diagnosed her as pregnant." โ€

Zhen Xuan was silent, and after a while, he sneered: "Are you talking about the windproof Yiying who pierced my chest with an arrow?" She's going to faint all of a sudden?"

"Of course, it is possible that she fainted on purpose, but the pregnancy is true."

"How long?"

"I can only deduce the approximate time, it should be about three months, and the only specific time to conceive is Fengfeng Yiying and ...... Jing knows. โ€

"Could it really be Jing's child?" It's not that Zhen Xuan Duo believes that Xiao Yao will defend himself like a jade, but Uncle Wang sharpens his knife Huo Huo, and Zhen Xuan really doesn't want this time to consolidate the status of Feng Yiying in the Tu Shan clan.

"I didn't ask him, but judging by his face, it should be his...... Yiying is not stupid, if it weren't for Jing's child, how would Yiying dare to faint in public?" Xiao Yao laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect me to go back to Gaoxin, so I waited for Jing's child." โ€

Zhen Xuan said to Xiao Yao: "Don't be sad, there are better men in this world than Jing." Xiao Yao's eyes were filled with tears, but he smiled stiffly: "I'm not sad for him, I'm only sad that I trusted the wrong person." โ€

He pretended not to see anything, smiled and said, "Have a good rest!" Didn't you say that too? It will be fine in a few days. When you're ready, I'll take you and Ah Nian to play at the bottom of the mountain. โ€

Xiao Yao shrank into the quilt, waved his hand, and the lights in the hall went out, and only the bright moonlight poured in.

Xiao Yao's tears rolled down, she turned around, turned her back to Zhen Yao, and quietly wiped it away with the corner of the quilt: "Brother, don't leave." โ€

Zhen Yan patted her on the back and said, "I won't leave, I will always be with you." โ€

Although Xiao Yao didn't let out a single cry, with the tears, her nose was a little blocked, and her snort naturally became heavy, which was particularly clear in the quiet hall.

Zhen Xuan didn't say anything, just sat on the couch and patted Xiao Yao's back on the ground.

On the second day, Xiao Yao's illness became more and more serious, and the whole person was groggy.

Yin comforted Zhen Xuan, it is better to let Wang Ji be seriously ill now than to force it down and leave a hidden illness by herself.

Ah Nian saw that Xiao Yao was sick, so he put away all his little temperament, and helped Xiao Yao take care of Xiao Yao very obediently. Zhen Yao was very pleased, he knew that Xiao Yao actually cared about Ah Nian in his heart, Ah Nian was willing to be good to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao would be happy.

Jing heard that Xiao Yao was sick and wanted to come to see Xiao Yao, and Xinyue also wanted to come to see Xiao Yao, but Zhen Yan refused all of them. Because he stayed in Xiao Yao's dormitory every night, the secret guards of Zhen Yao were naturally tightly guarded around Xiao Yao's dormitory, and even Jing's nine-tailed little fox couldn't sneak in to find Xiao Yao.

Jing asked Feng Long to find a way to let him see Xiao Yao, Feng Long knew that Feng Yiying was pregnant, and persuaded Jing to give up, but Jing lost weight in seven or eight days, and he couldn't bear it, so he had to take Jing to see Zhen Yao.

When he saw Jing, he was not displeased in the slightest, and warmly asked the maid to serve wine and food, and treated Feng Long and Jing well.

Jing said: "Please let me see Xiao Yao." โ€

Zhen Yan said: "Xiao Yao accidentally contracted the wind chill some time ago, and it is really inconvenient to meet guests. โ€

Jing begged, "I'll just look at her." โ€

Zhen said politely: "I will definitely convey your concern on my behalf, but Xiao Yao ......"

Feng Leong couldn't see them playing tricks, and said to Zhuan: "Okay, everyone stop acting!" It's not like you don't know about Jing and Xiaoyao! Feng Yiying is pregnant, you and Xiao Yao are definitely not happy, but after all, this is Xiao Yao and Jing's business, even if Xiao Yao plans to break off with Jing, you should let Xiao Yao explain it to Jing in person. โ€

Zhen Xuan was very helpless to Feng Long, thought for a moment, and said to Xiaoxiao: "You go to report to Wang Ji to see if Wang Ji is willing to see Jing." โ€

After a while, Xiaoxiao came back and said, "Wang Ji asks the patriarch to come over." โ€

Zhen Xuan said to Jing: "Xiao Yao is willing to see you." โ€

Jing followed Xiaoxiao to the palace where Xiao Yao lived, pushed open the palace door, the heating hit people, and there was a burst of floral fragrance in the faint smell of medicine.

Coral and Begonia held a large handful of spring flowers, said the soft language of the water town, and grunted to discuss where to insert it, Coral saw Jing, rolled her eyes, and snorted heavily.

Through the crystal bead curtain, I saw Xiao Yao wearing a tender yellow shirt, leaning on the couch, and Ah Nian sitting opposite. There was a large crystal basin on the case between the two, and Ah Nian used his spiritual power to conjure up a pot full of lotus flowers, and Xiao Yao slapped his palm and laughed.

Xiaoxiao and Miao Pu opened the bead curtain and invited Jing in.

Ah Nianxiao said to Xiao Yao: "My sister's guest has arrived, I will come to play with my sister later." โ€

Ah Nian bowed slightly to Jing and left.

Xiao Yao pointed to the position where Ah Nian was sitting just now, and smiled and asked Jing to sit.

Xiao Yao's face is pale and her body is thin, but because she is wearing a warm tender yellow and a little bit of rouge, she doesn't feel that she is not energetic, but like a spring flower that blooms in the cold wind, swaying in the cold spring of Liukun, fragile but strong beauty.

Jing's heart is the pain of turning over the river and the sea: "Xiaoyao, I ......"

Xiao Yao stared at him quietly, listening intently.

Jing said with difficulty: "More than three months ago, it was the day when you first gave your grandmother medicine, Yiying pestered me very tightly, in the past, I could leave Qingqiu immediately and avoid her, but grandma was sick, and I couldn't escape." One night, she tried to kill herself, and even her grandmother was alarmed. Under my grandmother's reprimand, I could only guard her, and later ...... I think I saw you, you kept smiling at me......" Jing's face was full of guilt, his eyes were full of pain, "I don't know what happened, I just know that when I woke up, I fell asleep with Yiying embracing each other." โ€

Xiao Yao said lightly: "You should have been taken by the medicine that disorients you and stimulates your lust, but you have studied medicine with me for a long time, how can you be so easy to get the medicine of Yiying?"

Jing's hand clenched into a fist, as if full of anger, but weakly released: "It was my grandmother who gave me medicine." The design of his loved ones made him have nowhere to vent his anger.

Xiao Yao was a little surprised, and said softly: "It turned out to be Mrs. Tai." โ€

Jing bent over in pain and covered her face with her hands: "Yiying told me that she just wants to be my wife, and if I want to kill her, I can do it." At that moment, I really wanted to kill her, but I should have killed myself...... I escaped from her house and fled to Yiyi, but I didn't dare to see you, and hid in an underground casino in Lirongchang, getting drunk every day. More than ten days later, Rong Chang angrily drove me to Xiaozhurong Mansion, and I realized that you had already gone to Gaoxin. โ€

Xiao Yao thought, no wonder in the past three months, Jing was very abnormal, and she didn't contact her at all.

Jing said, "I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you about this. But you have to rush to make medicine for grandma, and you haven't had a chance. After you finished making the medicine, before I could confess to you, I fainted...... Xiaoyao, I'm sorry!"

Xiao Yao was silent for a while, and said: "Thank you for telling me this, at least it makes me feel that I didn't misunderstand you, and my trust was not mistaken for recognition, but things have happened, everything is irreparable, and you don't blame yourself anymore." โ€

Xiao Yao took off the Yudan purple necklace around her neck and gently placed it in front of Jing: "Mrs. Tai should hold a wedding for you and Yiying in the near future, and when the time comes, I won't congratulate you, I will bless you in advance here, respect each other like guests, and grow old together." โ€

Jing Huoran raised his head and stared at Xiao Yao.

In the crystal basin, the lotus flowers that Ah Nian had just changed were withering, the petals were falling, and the lotus leaves were withering. It's just the distance of a crystal basin, but it's like the end of the world.

Jing's hand trembled slightly, silently picked up Yu Danzi, and walked towards the outside of the hall. He was one foot deeper, one foot shallow, and he didn't know how he returned to the palace where he lived.

Feng Long saw Jing's dejected appearance, and in order to mediate the atmosphere, he jokingly said: "Zhuan, this person is really different, I see a bunch of women around you, and I haven't seen how you are, Jing is only two women, and he is anxious and dying." Hurry up and teach Jing a few tricks!"

Zhen Yan smiled, but Jing didn't hear anything, his face was as dead as ashes, stunned.

Zhen Xuan said to Feng Long: "I can't talk about things today, you can send him back!"

Feng Long sighed and left with Jing.

******

More than ten days later, under the intensive arrangement of Mrs. Tu Shan, the Qingqiu Tu Shan clan hurriedly released the news of the wedding, and the Tu Shan patriarch would marry the young lady of the Fengfeng clan in the near future.

The wedding was unusually hasty, but Mrs. Tu Shantai took all the reasons on herself, saying that her time was short and she couldn't afford to wait.

Everyone accepted this explanation, praised the wind and reflected filial piety, and for the sake of Mrs. Tai, he was willing to settle for a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Zhen Xuan received an invitation from Elder Tu Shan, and ordered Xiaoxiao to prepare a heavy gift to congratulate the Tu Shan clan on his joy, but no one went.

Zhen Xuan obviously knew that Xiao Yao and Jing were separated, he should be more careful to win over Jing, he was not allowed to move freely in the past, and now he can take advantage of the wedding of the Tushan patriarch to go to Qingqiu in person, which is very good for him, but Zhen Xu's mood is very complicated, on the one hand, he is relieved and happy, and on the other hand, he can't restrain his disgust for this wedding. In the end, he simply entrusted everything to Fenglong, and stayed in Shennong Mountain to accompany Xiaoyao.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yao leaned on the warm couch and talked to Zhen Xuan and Ah Nian, she carried Tu Shan's invitation and asked, "Have you prepared a congratulatory gift for me?"

Zhen Xuan said lightly: "Ready." โ€

Ah Nian asked puzzledly, "Why don't you all go to Qingqiu?" This is the wedding of the Tushan patriarch......"

"Ah Nian, don't say it!" He interrupted Ah Nian with a smile.

Obviously, his expression was gentle, but Ah Nian had a little palpitations and didn't dare to speak again.

Xiao Yao looked at the water leak, silently calculated the hour, and it was about to be auspicious, at this time, Jing should have been standing in the happy hall with Yiying.

The water in the water leak fell drop by drop, and every drop was like poison, falling on Xiao Yao's heart, corroding her heart with holes. Xiao Yao knew that he shouldn't think about it, but he stared at the water leak like a demon, counting the time while thinking about what kind of salute Jing should do now.

Tushan Mansion must be lit up and very lively!

Jing was dressed in auspicious clothes and fought side by side with Yiying.

The ceremonial officer sang loudly: Worship heaven and earth!

Jing and Yiying slowly bowed down...... Yiying got his wish, and he must be happy, but what about Jing? What kind of expression is Jing......

Xiao Yao suddenly felt her heart beat sharply, so that she was almost out of breath, and all the illusions in front of her were scattered.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Yao shook her head, "No! Just a little stuffy and suddenly want to get some fresh air. โ€

Xiao Yao hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, Zhen Yao hurriedly took the big coat and wrapped it around Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao stood in the courtyard, looking up at the blue sky, why did Xiang Liu suddenly let her feel his existence? Did he feel her pain, or was it because he was in Qingqiu at this time, watching Jing and Yiying salute with his own eyes, and thinking that she wouldn't feel good? Was he laughing at her, or was he trying to comfort her?

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Yao said: "I suddenly remembered the Gu planted for Xiang Liu, he has to bear the pain in my body, so what about the pain in my heart?" Does he need to bear it too? He said that he was the body of nine lives, and the pain in my body was nothing to him, but what about the heart? He only has one heart!"

Zhen Yan pressed Xiao Yao's shoulder and said solemnly: "I don't care what kind of relationship you had with him in Qingshui Town before, but don't get close to Xiang Liu!"

Xiao Yao said bitterly: "I understand!"

Zhen Xuan said: "Although you have repeatedly said that that Gu is harmless, but after you are well, think about it carefully, if you can lift it, it is best to lift it." โ€

"Hmm!"

Xiao Yao looked up at the blue sky, quietly feeling that his heart was beating with another heart, and the pain that was pressed down seemed to be no longer so unbearable because of someone to share.

Xiao Yao's illness gradually improved, and she began to make poison again.

During this period of illness, Zhen Xuan received a lot of spiritual herbs and elixirs on her behalf, and Xiao Yao didn't eat much, just to use them to make poison.

Xiao Yao talked and laughed as usual, but the poison she made was all dark tones, black bats, black gourds, black mandarin ducks, and black hibiscus...... Placed in a box one by one, it looks like it's in a terrible mood. But by making these dark poisons, Xiao Yao vented some of the pain.

When the warmth was opened, Xiao Yao took Ah Nian to Yiyi City to play.

Ah Nian was attracted by the knick-knacks woven by the hawker with willow branches, and planned to pick a few and take them back to load things, Xiao Yao asked Begonia and Coral to accompany Ah Nian to choose slowly, she quietly walked into Tu Shan's carriage and horse shop, and sent the poison to Xiang Liu.

Thinking of the black clouds when Xiang Liu saw the poison, Xiao Yao couldn't help but smile lightly at the corner of his mouth.

When Xiao Yao returned to find Ah Nian, he saw Ah Nian with Xinyue and Feng Long.

Xinyue complained to Xiaoyao: "If you have a sister, you won't come to play with me, and you won't even come to Yiyi City to come to see me." โ€

Xiao Yao hurriedly put the responsibility on Zhuan: "Zhuan Xuan doesn't let me run around casually, and wants me to recuperate, today is the first time I have gone down the mountain since I got sick, and I plan to find you in a while." โ€

Xinyue was satisfied, and affectionately held Xiao Yao's arm: "Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to go back, after eating at my house, I'll send someone to send a letter to Zhen Yao and ask him to come together." โ€

Ah Nian immediately grabbed Xiao Yao's other arm and kept pulling Xiao Yao's sleeve, hinting that she refused.

Xinyue immediately noticed Ah Nian's small movements, and stared at Xiao Yao: "Are you going to break off your friendship with me?"

Xiao Yao had a headache and looked at Feng Long for help, Feng Long coughed twice and turned around, indicating that he couldn't help.

Xiao Yao laughed twice and said to Ah Nian: "Let's go to Xinyue's house to play for a while, and when we finish dinner, we will go back with Zhuan." โ€

Xinyue laughed, Ah Nian pouted, glared at Xiao Yao dissatisfied, Xiao Yao quietly squeezed her hand, indicating that we were still the two of us, Ah Nian reluctantly nodded.

Xiao Yao was afraid that Ah Nian and Xinyue would make trouble, so she didn't dare to go to Xiao Zhurong's Mansion now, so she had to excuse herself and take the two of them to wander around the street.

Finally managed to get through to the arrival of Zhen Xu, Xiao Yao immediately rushed to Zhen Xu's side, gritted his teeth and said: "From now on, Ah Nian and Xin Yue are handed over to you, and they are not allowed to pester me again!" Xiao Yao pushed Zhen Xuan between Xinyue and Ah Nian to chase Fenglong.

Feng Long smiled and congratulated Xiao Yao: "I finally escaped, congratulations!"

Xiao Yao gave him a punch unceremoniously: "Don't save when you die!"

Feng Long looked back, I don't know what Zhen Xuan said, Xin Yue and Ah Nian were actually smiling, Feng Long couldn't help but say with admiration: "It's still your brother who is amazing!"

Xiao Yao glanced back and laughed: "It is estimated that he has shown the courage and wisdom to deal with all kinds of courtiers." โ€

When I arrived at Xiao Zhurong Mansion, I didn't know if Xinyue really wanted to warmly entertain Zhen and Xiao Yao, or if she had the intention of demonstrating to Ah Nian, and prepared a dinner party in a hurry, which was actually very grand. Under Xinyue's command, the maidservants of the entire mansion went in and out, silent and orderly.

Ah Nian didn't take it seriously, but when she knew that Xinyue's mother lived in Chishui all the year round, and the entire Xiaozhurong Mansion was actually taken care of by Xinyue, her eyes changed when she looked at Xinyue. Xiao Zhurong Mansion seems to be just a city lord's mansion, but the decrees of the entire Central Plains come from here. All the exchanges between the Central Plains clan, the exchanges with Xuanyuan City, and the complex interpersonal relationships have to be taken care of by Xinyue behind her back, which is not something that ordinary women can do, at least Ah Nian knows that she is completely incapable of doing it.

Ah Nian ate in silence, because of her silence, there was no turmoil at the dinner, and everyone seemed very happy.

After the dinner, Feng Long and Xin Yue sent the three of them out, and Feng Long and Zhen walked aside and chatted about a stick of incense.

Although Xiao Yao and the others were very close, they couldn't hear anything, obviously Feng Long or Zhen Xuan had issued a ban, and it seemed that the matter was very important.

Back in the Zijin Palace, Xiaoxiao and Jin Xuan were waiting in the palace, and Zhen Xuan said to Xiao Yao and Ah Nian: "I have to deal with a little matter, you go to wash first, and wait for me at Xiao Yao after washing, I have something to say to you." โ€

Xiao Yao and Ah Nian agreed, and each went back to wash.

After Xiao Yao finished washing, Coral helped her dry her hair, Ah Nian came, her hair was still wet, she hurriedly asked, "Sister, what does my brother want to tell us?"

Haitang took the crystal comb and combed Ah Nian's hair while slowly drying Ah Nian's hair with spiritual power.

Xiao Yao said: "I don't know, just look at him so cautiously, it should be an important thing." โ€

The begonias walked in, and the begonias and corals retreated.

Ah Nian looked at Zhen Xuan nervously: "Brother, what are you going to say?"

Zhen Yan looked at Ah Nian and looked at Xiao Yao: "I want to tell you that I am going to marry a wife." โ€

"What?" Ah Nian stood up suddenly, his face turned pale, and his voice changed, "You, you...... You're going to marry Xinyue?"

"It's not."

"Isn't it?" Ah Nian didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, so he stood dumbfounded, with a very strange expression on his face.

Zhen Xuan said: "I want to marry the concubine of the Yu family, not my concubine, but it should be second only to the concubine." โ€

Ah Nian looked at Xiao Yao blankly, not knowing where this woman came from, Xiao Yao explained: "The Yao clan is one of the six major clans in the Central Plains, and it is the most powerful clan among the six clans. โ€

Ah Nian asked, "Does Xinyue know?"

"You should know by now, Feng Leong will tell her." โ€

Ah Nian said in a low voice: "Is my brother's matter finished?"

"That's it."

"Then I'm leaving." Ah Nian ran out quickly.

Zhen Yan looked at Xiao Yao, and his face was neither sad nor joyful. Xiao Yao took out the wine: "Do you want to drink?" I can accompany you to get drunk. โ€

He smiled bitterly, took the wine handed to him by Xiao Yao, and drank it all.

Xiao Yao said: "I have seen the young lady of the Yu family, although the appearance is not as good as Xiaoxiao and Jin Xuan, but it is also very good-looking, and her temperament is very quiet, it is said that she is good at being a female red, and she is an embroiderer with one hand, and even the serious embroidery girl is ashamed to see it." โ€

He didn't say anything, but drank another large glass of wine.

Xiao Yao said: "If you marry the young lady of the Yu family, it is equivalent to officially declaring war on your uncles, are you ready?"

้ข›้กผ้ข”ๅคดใ€‚

Xiao Yao said slowly: "Grandpa has always been very suspicious of the clan in the Central Plains, because it is not your concubine, grandpa will allow it, but after all, it is the first woman you officially married, I am afraid that under the instigation of my uncle, those old clans of Xuanyuan will be dissatisfied and slander you, in case grandpa is suspicious of you, you will be very dangerous......

"I understand, but this step must be taken, and I must form an alliance with the Yao clan. โ€

Xiao Yao stretched out her hand, and Zhen Yan held her hand, and both of them had cold hands.

Xiao Yao shook Zhen Yan's hand hard, and said word by word: "No matter what you do, no matter what means you use, I just want you to live!"

Zhen Yan also held Xiao Yao's hand hard: "I said, I want to make Shennong Mountain full of phoenix flowers." โ€

Xiao Yao raised the wine glass, Zhen Yan also raised the wine glass, and the two touched each other and drank cleanly.

Zhen Xuan put down his wine glass and said to Xiao Yao, "I really want to get drunk with you, but I still have something to deal with." โ€

Xiao Yao shook his wine glass: "You go!" As long as you're good, I've always been here anyway, and we have a chance to drink. โ€

Zhen Xuan was finally relieved and shouted, "Xiao Yao......"

Xiao Yao tilted his head to look at him, and he was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "At the wedding, don't congratulate me." โ€

"Good!" Xiao Yao knew very well that it was not something to be congratulated, and it could even be said to be a humiliation for Zhen Yao.

He turned around and walked away without looking back.

Xiao Yao poured herself a glass of wine and sipped it slowly.

After drinking, she lifted the wine jar and went to find Ah Nian.

When Begonia saw her coming, she was relieved, pointed inside the curtain, and retreated outside.

Xiao Yao walked in and saw Ah Nian lying on the couch, whimpering and crying in a low voice.

Xiao Yao sat next to her and patted Ah Nian on the shoulder: "Do you drink?"

Ah Nian turned over and sat up, snatched the wine glass from Xiao Yao's hand, drank it dry in one gulp, and said while coughing, "I want to!"

Xiao Yao poured her another glass: "It's still too late to go back to Wushen Mountain." โ€

Ah Nian said, "Do you think I didn't think about it just now? I am very heartbroken now, but when I think that I will never see him again in the future, but he is good to other women, I feel that it hurts even more, and I choose the lesser of the two pains. Ah Nian was like having a grudge against wine, and poured it viciously, "This is the first time, and I will slowly get used to it." โ€

Xiao Yao sighed: "You are hopeless!"

Ah Nian cried: "These days, my brother has never shied away from me, and often hugs Jin Xuan in front of me, I know he did it on purpose, he must have an idea with you, and wants to force me to leave." In Wushen Mountain, I only have the pain of longing, not a little happiness, and even though it is uncomfortable to be by my brother's side, as long as he is with me, I am very happy. Even when he's not with me, I think about what he said and did when he was with me, and I'm happy. โ€

Xiao Yao suddenly discovered that Ah Nian never admired him because of who he was about to become and what power he had, and other women, whether they were Jin Xuan or Xinyue, they were more or less admired because of his status and power.

Xiao Yao asked, "Ah Nian, what if...... I mean, if he was still in Gaoxin, a man who had the title of prince but didn't have anything, would you still be willing to be with him?"

Ah Nian wiped her tears and glared at Xiao Yao fiercely: "As soon as you say this, I hate you!" If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have returned to Xuanyuan, and he would have stayed in Gaoxin forever, how good would it be!"

Xiao Yao was sure that if Zhen Xuan was the one who stayed in Gaoxin, Xin Yue would never like Zhen Xuan. Xinyue wants a man who can give her a lot of light, and Ah Nian wants a man who is willing to be good to her sincerely. Ah Nian loves the wrong person, but she can't turn back.

Xiao Yao hugged Ah Nian.

Ah Nian pushed her: "You go away!" I hate you now!"

Xiao Yao said: "But now I think you are cute and pitiful, I just want to hug you!"

Ah Nian sobbed and said, "I hate you!" I'm going to drink!"

Xiao Yao poured wine for Ah Nian: "Drink!"

Xiao Yao originally just wanted Ah Nian to get drunk, but Ah Nian babbled about her past with Zhen Yao, Xiao Yao remembered Jing, and all the sadness hidden on weekdays came to her heart, and she couldn't help but drink cup after cup, until she fell asleep drunk.
