It was night, and in the study of Chengxi Yifu, the lights were still on.

The head of the family, Yi Shangkun, was sitting upright by the bookcase, reading the book of medicine secrets given by his benefactor with relish. Sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes falling into deep thought, sometimes leaning over the pen to write something on the paper.

Suddenly, as if he had found some treasure, he put down the pen and paper in his hand, picked up the ancient book, and said with a happy face, "Soak the rice with the juice of the 'southern candle leaves' in the north or the southern 'tung leaves', and then dry the rice and eat it." 'Southern candle leaf' has the effect of benefiting essence, strengthening muscles and bones, brightening the eyes and stopping diarrhea; 'Tong Ye' also has a certain effect on carbuncles, sores and wound bleeding. Those who eat this meal often can prolong their lives. It's really 'women don't let the eyebrows, the magic recipe is the world'! Wonderful, this method is really wonderful, I didn't expect a young woman to create such a wonderful recipe. There is also the Materia Medica record above, which illustrates the divisions, aliases, taste, efficacy, collection, indications, and prescriptions of some extremely rare Materia Medica, so vividly and in such detail...... Such a meticulous medical genius, it's a pity that 'since ancient times there has been a lot of life', it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of what had happened that year......

And when I thought of the scenes of that year, I couldn't help but sigh lightly, and once again I picked up the pen and wanted to write something. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door that seemed to be a little urgent.

Yi Shangkun: "Come in"

I saw that the young woman who stepped in was the personal maid with the clouds on her clothes, Yan'er. Dressed in a water-green skirt and combed with a double bun, it looks very lively, dexterous and clean and refreshing.

However, at this time, the expression on Yan'er's face seemed to be a little different from the past. She clenched her hands, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

Yi Shangkun looked up and looked a little surprised, then put down the brush in his hand, sat up, stroked the short beard on his chin with one hand, and looked at the night outside the window, which was already on the treetops of the moon, and asked, "Why are you?" At this hour, you don't accompany the young lady to wash and change clothes, what are you doing here? ”

As soon as Yi Shangkun's words fell, Yan'er seemed to be the sky falling, plopped, knelt down in front of Yi Shangkun's bookcase, bowed her head and cried bitterly, choked up, "Master, it's not good......

Ran Shangkun was still calm, a little girl, what big deal could she have, so she said lazily, "Is it that someone in the house is bullying you again, and you can see your face, is it the second lady or the eldest young master, or Aunt Lan?" ”

Yan'er still bowed her head and shook her head bitterly.

Yishangkun wondered, and said, "Not them?" Then who else dares to bully you in this mansion now? ”

Yan'er still bowed her head and cried, "Yes... Be... It's Miss She'......"

I didn't want to think at this time, before Yan'er finished speaking, Yi Shangkun exclaimed, "Could it be that Miss's leg disease has recurred?" You girl, what's going on, you should hurry up and speak! ”

Yan'er timidly bowed her head and cried for a long time, and the words came to her mouth again and again, but she didn't know what to do

He spoke. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gritted my teeth, my heart was horizontal, and I blurted out: "It's Miss, she went to the south of the city alone a few days ago, and she hasn't returned yet." Yan'er just now... Just now I dreamed that Miss she was ... Someone who... Miss, she fell off a cliff... He's dead! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yi Shangkun suddenly got up in anger, his heart was shocked and worried, and he roared, "What did you say?" Say it again? ”

Yan'er's whole body trembled in an instant, and she still didn't dare to look up at Yi Shangkun's eyes, she only knelt and cried, while repeating, "Miss, she went to the south of the city, and she was supposed to return to the house at noon today, but she hasn't returned yet." Yan'er just now... Just now I dreamed that Miss she was ... Someone who... Miss, she fell off a cliff... He's dead! ”

"What?" Yi Shangkun was suddenly stunned by Yan'er's words.

The clothes on the cloud are in the clothes house, and they have always been out of the door. After Yan'er reminded him like this, Yi Shangkun just remembered that he had indeed not seen that girl in the mansion in the past few days, and only then did he remember that Yi Shangyun had personally told him a few days ago that he was going to the south of the city.

"Could it be that something is delaying the road? In this year's pass, the carriage and horses may not be easy to find. Maybe in the middle of the night, or a little later, she will be back in the house, right? After being silent and stunned for a long time, Yi Shangkun realized that he had never had a grudge against people, and Yi Shangyun was regarded by the world as an ugly girl who had withdrawn from marriage, and she was no longer as weak and deceitful as she was before she fell into a coma, so she comforted herself.

"No, no, no, master, something must have happened to Miss, so hurry up and send someone to the south of the city to find Miss." Or, or let Yan'er go, yes, let Yan'er go. Just after dinner, the young master heard someone on the street... Say..."

Yan'er raised her head and said hesitantly, Yi Shangkun was already a little angry and anxious, so she said angrily, "What did the young master hear on the street?" ”

Yan'er lowered her head in fright again by this scolding, and said, "Young Master, I heard people on the street... It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has ordered the Wanjiao Pavilion in the south of the city to be sealed today. ”

Hearing this, Yi Shangkun slowly sat down, stroked the short beard, and said thoughtfully: "Wanjiao Pavilion has been sealed?" Or was it sealed by King Qin himself? Presumably, it must have been sealed because of a conspiracy in Wanjiao Pavilion. But what does this have to do with Miss? Wanjiao Pavilion in the south of the city is the first Fengyue place in Western Qin, the land of fireworks... Seongnam ......"

As soon as he thought of this, Yi Shangkun suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart. So his eyes widened, and at the same time, one hand slapped heavily on the bookcase in front of him, and even the ink in the inkstone splashed out, and he yelled at Yan'er incredulously, "You mean, Miss went to Wanjiao Pavilion in the south of the city?" ”

Yan'er frowned and nodded cautiously.
