After returning to the emperor, IAO Feng Ying returned to his own residence.

As soon as he entered the house, the little eunuch who served him handed him a cup of hot tea.

Feng Ying took it, raised her head and poured a big mouthful, and the coolness that rose from the tail vertebrae subsided slightly.

Feng Ying lay down on the rocking chair, crossed his feet and asked, "Godfather, didn't he show up all day?" ”

Feng Ying's godson Sanfu moved over a small pestle, and while pounding Feng Ying's leg diligently, he replied: "Grandpa, he went out to run errands, and left a message before leaving, so that you can guard against some holes." ”

Feng Ying twitched her eyelids, and her tone couldn't hide her disgust: "That ugly-looking villain, every time I take a picture with him, I have to eat half a bowl less rice." ”

Feng Hui and Feng Ying, the godfather and son, are handsome, but it's a pity that they became eunuchs and were born with one thing. Otherwise, walking on the street, it will be very attractive at first glance.

As Feng Ying's godson, Sanfu naturally stood aside with Feng Ying, and he scolded: "This Kong Siquan has even brushed the Gong bucket in Xiyuan before, and the smell of feces and urine on his body can be smelled from the distant son." ”

Feng Ying frowned at what he said for being vulgar, and scolded: "You don't even have a door in your mouth, what dirty and smelly brain is pouring out." If you don't pay attention to it in the future, be careful with your notes! ”

Sanfu didn't pay attention to Feng Ying's taboo, and hurriedly slapped his own mouth, begging for mercy: "Dad forgive my son this time, and my son will remember it next time." ”

Feng Ying let out a soft snort from her nose and closed her eyes slowly.

Seeing this, Sanfu cautiously tentatively said: "Godfather, why did Your Majesty get so angry today?" The son was outside the temple, and he was startled by the movement inside. ”

Feng Ying was originally closing his eyes to recuperate.

Hearing this, he opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Sanfu, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce Sanfu.

Feng Ying said in a strange manner: "I taught you, in the palace, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." What are you thinking about when your curiosity wins? Well? ”

At the last word, Feng Ying casually raised her tone.

Sanfu trembled with fright, and with a "plop" sound, he knelt down for Feng Ying.

"Dad, my son is wrong, my son won't talk much in the future."

Feng Ying snorted softly, if it weren't for seeing that this kid was still loyal, and he was not interested today, Feng Ying would never spare him.

"Sanfu, you remember for me, being an errand by my side, there are times when you have to treat yourself as a blind and deaf person, this is the first one; The second rule is that it is never allowed to associate with people in the East Palace, and it is not allowed to accept money. Otherwise......"

Feng Ying snorted inexplicably, and said slowly: "One day, someone filled the well in the cold palace, and it will be too late to complain in front of Lord Yama." ”

Sanfu's scalp was numb, and his courage was about to be frightened. He responded tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

……

At dawn, Xie Yanhe had a nightmare, and suddenly woke up, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

"Someone." Xie Yanhe called out to the outside of the gauze tent, because she had just woken up, her sweet and delicate voice was a little hoarse, and when it reached her ears, it made people's bodies crispy.

"County Lord, are you awake?" Cherry hurriedly opened the curtain.

After staying by Xie Yanhe's side for so long, Cherry was already able to give Xie Yanhe the night alone.

She first handed over a cup of warm water, looked at Xie Yanhe and rinsed her mouth, and then changed a glass of warm water, waiting for Xie Yan and slowly drank it, then she lifted the gauze curtain and gently patted her palm.

Outside the house, the maids and fish rushed in.

Xie Yanhe cleaned her hands, rinsed her mouth with green salt, and then changed her face to the mountain spring water soaked in rose petals to wash her face, she lay on her back on the chaise longue, waiting for the maid to massage the skin of her face with the newly prepared flower dew.

The other maid went around to the back of the chaise longue and carefully groomed her long hair.

Half an hour later, Xie Yanhe sat in front of the dressing mirror, and the skillful maid gave her a more homely hanging bun, and then she was surrounded by the maid and sat at the dining table.

"County lord, the silver silk noodles made in the small kitchen are made with mountain delicacies, shrimp, sea cucumbers, and dried scallops." After Liu Er finished speaking, she brought over a small white jade bowl.

Xie Yanhe pushed aside the rose marinade that he had eaten, picked up a small pinch of silver silk noodles and tasted it, without saying good or bad.

Liu Er knew that this was not to her taste, so she hurriedly sandwiched a crab roe xiaolongbao and wrapped it on a plate.

"County Lord!" The mandarin duck ran into the flower hall from the courtyard happily, and when she saw Xie Yanhe eating, the joy on her face was collected.

"All down." Xie Yanhe looked at the beads of sweat running out of the mandarin duck's forehead, and commanded in a deep voice.

The maid in the room retreated silently, and Liu'er, who was the last to exit, closed the door intimately.

"What makes you so anxious?" Xie Yanhe wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up from the dining table.

"Did the slave disturb your meal?"

The mandarin duck glanced at the shrimp dumplings on the table that had been bitten by Xie Yanhe, the remaining half a bowl of japonica porridge, and the silver silk noodles that only picked one chopstick, and as for the other side dishes on the table, they had not moved.

"I was about to tell them to take their breakfast away."

Xie Yanhe didn't sleep well last night, and until now, there was still a lingering feeling of annoyance and nausea in his chest.

Mandarin Duck had the heart to persuade Xie Yanhe to eat a few more bites of breakfast, however, after meeting her troubled and depressed gaze, he had to swallow his words back.

She thought that if the county lord heard this good news, he would be completely ill in an instant.

Mandarin Duck lowered his voice and said, "County Lord, Master Hou has sent a letter." ”

"Seriously!" Xie Yanhe raised her voice in an instant, sensing her gaffe, she covered her mouth unconsciously, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were floating with water.

"Brother, how is he? Are there any injuries? What about sister-in-law? Nieces and nephews, all right? ”

Xie Yanhe asked a few words one after another.

The mandarin duck hurriedly replied: "County lord, don't worry, the slave has already read the letter, and the Hou Ye said that everything is fine with him, so you don't have to worry." ”

After knowing that his brother Xie Han was assassinated, Xie Yan and Ben had trouble sleeping and eating. After worrying about her stomach for so long, her mind suddenly relaxed, and she even had a trace of trance.

"Brother didn't lie to me, did he?" Xie Yanhe asked with some suspicion.

Mandarin duck hurriedly comforted her: "Hou Ye's family is auspicious. If the county lord doesn't believe it, this is a letter from the Hou Ye, you will know it when you read it. ”

Xie Yanhe quickly took the envelope in the mandarin duck's hand, and she read it word by word, looking at her seriously, for fear of missing a word.

After reading it, Xie Yanhe couldn't help patting her chest, she clasped her hands together, and muttered, "Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing." ”

The mandarin duck said with a happy face: "The county lord should be relieved now, right?" ”

Knowing that everything was fine with Hou Ye, Mandarin Duck was also extremely happy, otherwise she would not have rushed to the flower hall in a hurry just now.

Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes bent into two shallow crescents, and she said softly: "Only when I see my brother's family with my own eyes will I be relieved." ”

"Master Hou is a generalissimo who is strategizing, and he is generally small, so what is he afraid of!"

The mandarin duck's tone was full of proud and proud.

"My brother said in the letter, let me stand still, pretend not to know that the mastermind behind the scenes is Chen Rong, let alone hold on to the East Palace because of this."

Xie Yanhe smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that my brother's reply was too late." In terms of insight into people's hearts, I am much worse than my brother. ”

The mandarin duck helped Xie Yanhe to sit on the bamboo couch near the window, and said softly: "County Lord, you are concerned about it. When you heard that Hou Ye had been assassinated and his whereabouts were unknown, you fainted at that time. If you can still be rational at that time, it can only mean that Hou Ye is not so important in your heart. ”

"Yes......" Xie Yan said to Youyou, pushing others by herself, she was not very important in Wei Zhao's heart.

Therefore, Wei Zhao was able to weigh the former dynasty and the harem so rationally, knowing that the crown princess was the mastermind behind the scenes, but for the sake of the prince and the country, he disregarded the life of her biological brother and her grievances......

"Mandarin duck, I regret it. ...... at the beginning"

Xie Yanhe moved her lips, she swallowed what she wanted to say, only to feel ridiculous and contemptible.

"County Lord." The mandarin duck glanced at Xie Yanhe worriedly.

Xie Yanhe chuckled: "It's okay." She shook her head, her cool voice revealing a deep sense of self-loathing.

"I've always looked down on Chen Rong. Actually, I'm no different from her. ”

"County Lord, how can you say that." The mandarin duck frowned, "That person is not worthy of lifting your shoes." ”

"You know what I was thinking just now?" Xie Yanhe hooked the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly.

"I'm thinking about Li Mu. I was just thinking...... If I had married him, he would have treated me with all his heart. He has no family responsibilities behind him, and he has no ambition to climb up...... Am I ridiculous? ”

The mandarin duck held Xie Yanhe's shoulder, and then she was shocked to realize the county lord's weight loss in the past few days, and she said sadly: "The slave doesn't think you can laugh, the slave only feels distressed." ”

"County Lord." There was a touch of ruthlessness on the mandarin duck's face, and she said hatefully: "It's that they didn't give you a chance to choose." If you have to be a good person to be wronged, then why be a good person? ”

Xie Yanhe closed his eyes, and his gently fluttering eyelashes were like the stamens of a poppy, fragile but also poisonous.

"Let people prepare water, I want to bathe."

……

Tonight was still cherry night, and she slept on Xie Yan and the pedal next to the bed, when suddenly a low cough came from the bed.

Cherry didn't sleep well, and when she heard Xie Yanhe's cough, she immediately woke up from her dream, turned over and sat up, holding a candle in one hand and picking up the soft gauze tent with the other.

"County Lord, are you unwell?"

By the bright candle flame, Cherry could see clearly inside the bed tent.

I saw that the eyes of the county lord of Yonghe were closed, his skin was burned red, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his fair forehead, and the two cherry lips were even more red with blood.

Cherry was frightened, and hurriedly shouted outside the bed tent: "Someone! Come on! The county lord is sick! ”

After a short while, the courtyard that was originally immersed in the night instantly became brightly lit.

Mama Gong and Mama Wang were both alarmed, and rushed to the courtyard with their hair scattered.

Looking at the county lord who was burned on the bed, Mama Gong was broken. She shouted: "These casual little hooves, what are you doing stupidly!" Why don't you hurry up and ask for a doctor! ”
