"What?"

"I haven't told you yet, Bai Xiaohan is a person from the palace—I know you don't believe it, but this is a fact that he admitted himself." I suppressed the confusion that Sarong was about to interrupt in time, "He waited for me to go back in the other garden last night, and warned me not to meddle in the affairs of the palace curtain. And reminded me that Shui Qing was still in his hands. ”

"If so... There was Gu on that medicine boy, and Zhu Yutang was naturally controlled by Bai Xiaohan by the same means! ”

"That's what I thought, too. Sarong, with the viciousness of the two sons, Zhu Yutang knows so many things about them, and now they have no use value, but I am afraid that they have already been solved secretly. ”

"Bastard!" Sarong shot the case, and a pair of beautiful eyes were so angry that he almost wanted to breathe fire, "What a new flag lord Bai Xiaohan, it turned out to be the dog of the heartfelt court!" He tried his best to coax the sect leader to trust him and climbed to the position of the leader of the water flag. Could it be that the apostasy of the enemy was also planned by him? ”

I watched sadly as Sarong wept when I thought of the enemy who had died unjustly, and I wanted to say comfort, but I couldn't comfort him. After all, if Bai Xiaohan is really a member of the imperial court, then framing Qiu Weng is also a matter of his actions to seek the upper position.

"This is not only my personal enmity with him, but also a major matter related to the Tail Sect." Sarong wiped away his tears, and his tone returned to his previous calmness, "I have to ask someone to go back to Lingguang Mountain as soon as possible to inform the sect leader of this matter!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you work for the banner, it will take a long time to toss it." I walked up to Sarong and stroked her back repeatedly, "It's better for me to tell Duan Ming to go back, flying in the sky is always faster than running on the ground." ”

After comforting Sarong, I went downstairs to Duan Ming's room. The last time I was alone with him like this in the room seemed to be a long time ago, and when I entered that room, I was greeted by a familiar, reassuring smell.

It's a smell peculiar to Duanming.

After explaining Bai Xiaohan's matter, I slowly informed Duan Ming of Yu Yue's matter.

Unexpectedly, Duan Ming never showed half an excessive sad look from beginning to end. Until I finished speaking, he just nodded restrainedly.

But I could see that there was something in his eyes that had been bright and flickering, and it had become much darker.

"Duan Ming... You ......" I carefully looked at his gloomy look, "don't hold back if you feel uncomfortable, it's just the two of us here, you can-"

"—Yue Yue is going to die."

"What...?"

"I'm uncomfortable, but I'm not surprised."

Duan Ming raised his eyes as clear as an ignorant teenager, but there was too much indifference in his eyes that too many teenagers would not have. It is the coldness that only the wind and frost sword of the suffering years will be engraved in people's eyes.

"Gui Hotaru, can't you see his affection for you?"

"Affection for me...?"

"Yu Yue's mind has always been very heavy. Actually, I don't know the age of the two brothers. It's just that we've worked together for many years, and I'm the only one who has something to talk to. Duan Ming lowered his eyes, and a sour smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "In the past, you rarely took care of the affairs of the Gangfeng Banner, and they only saw you once or twice. But I can feel that since I first met you, Yu Yue has not been the same. It's just that before you were an unattainable dream, and later you also had a time when you needed his help. Maybe it was at that time that he recognized his affection for you. ”

In fact, to say that you can't feel it at all is a lie to deceive yourself. It's just a... If he hadn't had a heart for me, he probably wouldn't have ended up in the field I am now. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I let my head sink like a shadow.

"Return to Hotaru?"

"Hmm..."

"Did Lord Tang go to the Prince's Mansion to look for you again when I was away?"

"It's... Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"Today at the intersection of Xishi Street, you said it yourself." Duan Ming frowned slightly, "She has already understood your and my identities under Lianyue Mountain, and she shouldn't hurt your life anymore, so what did she do when she went to the Prince's Mansion?" ”

There was a bit of suffocation in my chest, and I could feel my breathing getting a little heavy.

Qu Xi sneaked into the prince's mansion that day not to hurt my life, but to see that I hated the palace curtain, so he wanted to use the drunken palace curtain to destroy me with Hehuan rain. However, I'm afraid that even she didn't know that it was not me and the palace that she contributed that night, but me and the palace flag who came to the submarine spring by mistake.

And do I want to tell Duan Ming, what happened that night, and the relationship between me and Gong Wan?

Instinctively resisting, I shook my head in a trance. Yes, Yu Yue is the epitome of Duan Ming, and Yu Yue is still willing to be killed by the palace curtain for me, so what about Duan Ming, how can he have less affection for me than Yu Yue? If he knows that I and Miyahata have become a big deal, will he get angry and go crazy and do things that are not calm......

"It's acacia rain, and she rains it on me."

"Acacia Rain!" Duan Ming was so shocked that he bounced up from his seat, and his face turned red. "That's... If that medicine doesn't spread, it will kill you! ”

"Perhaps, my body was cold and hot that night, so I simply shrank in the diving spring all night." I lied and said, "Come out in the morning, it's fine." Maybe you and I will be able to merge with each other, and we will save our lives......"

"Is that the case..."Duan Ming sat back in his chair with some confusion, "I think that the Tang Banner Lord is proficient in toxicology and medicine, and he is not as proficient in the preparation of that medicine as Sarong......

"yes, I guess it......"

The atmosphere became a little subtle, and I didn't dare to look directly into Duan Ming's simple and dull eyes. And he was obviously not as perceptive as Miyahata or Sarong, and he just stared straight at the flush on my cheeks, not understanding my thoughts.

"Gui Hotaru, you... But is there anything else you want to say? ”

"Why, no... How so? ”

"I don't know... I just feel like there's something else you haven't told me. ”

Duan Ming was still a little confused, I couldn't help but want to laugh when I saw him like this, and asked him to write a letter to ask You Yong to send him to Lingguang Mountain, and Wanqiu sent someone to bring dinner in. After eating the same thing, I went back to my room on the fifth floor.

It was getting late, but Zhuo Ying was still lighting a bright candle and looking at the sallow, dry pages. Thinking that her serious injuries had not healed, I couldn't help but pull her to bed. Zhuo Ying was stubborn at first, but after being pressed on the bed by me for less than a cup of tea, he breathed heavily and fell asleep.

On the contrary, it was me, lying in bed tossing and turning, and my thoughts could not be calmed down for a long time.

The death of Yu Yue is deplorable; I left the palace without waiting for anyone from the palace, and the emperor was angry with me; finally explained the words to Qu Xi, I thought that she would not forgive, but I didn't expect that she not only did not blame the past for the matter of Turbidity, but even asked herself to develop an antidote to the epidemic, which was really open-minded and reasonable, happy and revenge; Although I didn't confess to Duan Ming about me and Gong Wan on the night of the wedding of the Prince's Mansion, his expression was strange tonight, and I don't know what he noticed, or if he was discovered by Gong Wei in order to save me and him from trouble.

Zhuo Ying beside him was breathing evenly, and he was already asleep deeply. I saw a furrow on her brow reflecting the moonlight, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was such a person, and she refused to relax herself in her sleep. I pulled up our quilt corners, and the crackling of the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin mixed with the sound of Zhuo Ying's breathing, and it produced a magical and reassuring hypnotic effect.

I discarded all that was in my mind, closed my eyes, exhaustion swept in, and I allowed myself to float in a deep sleep, diving into the depths of the ocean of tranquility.

It was Sarong who woke me up early in the morning, she excitedly pulled me up from the bed, put a jacket on me rudely, and pulled me to Qu Xi's room without saying anything.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Duan Ming and Wanqiu were already dressed neatly, standing in the room with Qu Xi, as if they had been waiting for a long time. Seeing my embarrassed curling of my hair, Qu Xi's green eyes flashed faintly, and he slapped a prescription on the table.

"The last medicine I introduced was the Muscle and Bone Grass."

"Sarong has been studying for so long and can't figure it out, are you really sure it's that kind of herb?"

As soon as Wanqiu said this, Duan Ming and Sarong looked at her with some embarrassment. However, she is innocent by nature, and she doesn't know Qu Xi's ability and temperament, so questioning it is undoubtedly a rebellion.

"I'm sure." But he didn't want Qu Xi's tone to be half angry and impatient, "It turned out that Lord Ji Qi came to visit late last night and told me about the few antidotes she had launched before. After verifying that it was correct, I just had to focus on the medicine and it took me one night to push it out. ”

"Yes, although Sarong is not as skilled as Qu Xi, he is also proficient in pharmacology." I smiled and gave Wan Qiu a look and said, "The recipe made by the two of them overnight will not be a problem." ”

Xu was too intimate to listen to my name, and Qu Xi was a little uncomfortable for a while. Seeing this, Sarong smiled helplessly, and stepped forward to pick up the prescription.

"It's not because it's the two of us who make it right. It's just that in the early hours of this morning, I went to the nearest medical center to buy the muscles and bones grass, but who knew that the medicine stored in the medical hall had already been bought. Sarong said solemnly, "I ran several houses in a row, and finally summoned the banners to inquire about the major pharmacies and medical centers in Kazhou." You know what? All the muscles and bones in the entire Kaju were sold out in the past two days. ”

"How so!" I exclaimed, "Isn't it that Gong Wei Gong expected that we would be able to launch this flavor medicine, and he was afraid that we would do something bad and make such a move?" ”

"It doesn't have to be afraid of us." Duan Ming frowned and said, "Speaking of which, Sarong and I were in the West Market yesterday to scatter medicine, which is already eye-catching. This doesn't matter, the key is that the Tang Banner Lord appeared later. If Bai Xiaohan's eyes saw that the epidemic in Karzhou had alarmed the Chiyan Banner Lord, they would have been afraid that the Tang Banner Lord would unravel the epidemic poison, and they would have sent someone to buy all the muscles and bones. ”
