But Li Jiye still didn't speak, just looked at Li Jicai fixedly, his eyes were dull and blank, and there was a feeling of despair when he looked at it inexplicably, Li Jicai was suffocated in his heart, and couldn't help but worry.

Li Jiye stood in front of Li Jicai like that, and the light from the kitchen shone out, pulling the shadows of the two of them, and the elder looked so lonely and sad.

"What's wrong with you, have you been stimulated by anything? Tell me, you won't really go to the temple to steal incense, will you? Caught in someone? Li Jicai looked at him cautiously and said.

But Li Jiye just stood there alive, pursed his lips and said nothing, his face gloomy and low.

Li Jicai didn't dare to stimulate him, he stretched out his hand and gently and slowly dusted off the snow on his shoulder, Li Jiye's whole body was white, but when he went out, he obviously brought an umbrella, and when he came back, the person was still there, and the umbrella was gone.

The thumb gently brushed the hoarfrost from Li Jiye's eyebrows, and then went up his face, touching his forehead, and was about to brush the snow off his head as well, but Li Jiye suddenly moved.

He directly pulled Li Jicai into his arms, and then rested his chin on her shoulder, holding her to prevent her from moving.

Li Jicai was startled by him, and struggled a few times in a hurry, but was tightened by Li Jiye's hoop, and it hurt. I couldn't help but grin my teeth.

She wanted to say that he would let him go, but in the face of the current situation, Li Jiye seemed to need someone to accompany her, she was his sister, and she should give him a shoulder to lean on.

Alas, forget it, forget it.

Just once!

Li Jicai said silently in his heart, and the hand hanging by his side also raised, hugged Li Jiye back, and patted him on the back.

It's just to buy a piece of incense, and it looks like a rooster who went out and lost a battle, man, she really can't understand it.

Li Jiye's body trembled, and then hugged Li Jicai tighter, and his face was buried deeper. Something hot was shedding.

After hugging for a long time, Li Jicai felt that her arms were extremely sore, when did Li Jiye want to hug him, he wanted to hug him in the house, he was frozen to death outside, she also wanted to ask him if the door was closed tightly, whether it was time to wash and sleep.

But Li Jiye is in a bad mood now, so she doesn't dare to squeak.

It wasn't until the end, the candlelight in the kitchen suddenly went out, and Li Jiye slowly let go of Li Jicai, and under the light of the snow all around, Li Jiye's eyes flickered, and the stars were bright and bright.

Li Jicai unnaturally turned his eyes away, did not make contact with him, and then said in a low voice, "The candle is burned, it's already a little bit, I'll buy it tomorrow, no, I'll buy it." She was a little embarrassed, Li Jiye went out to buy a incense and could buy it like this, and she was also afraid.

After Li Jiye looked at her for a long time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Do you still sleep in the kitchen today?" ”

The warmest place in winter is still in front of the pot stove, and Li Jicai's warmth measures are very good, so they are also used to sleeping in the kitchen.

"Well, I'll go get the candle." Li Jicai said cautiously, for fear that she would touch Li Jiye if she said something wrong, and she suspected that Li Jiye was not because of buying incense, but because of something else.

But he didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask here, so she waited until he was willing to say it.

However, what Li Jicai didn't know was how long they hugged at the kitchen door, and how long someone watched in the dark. As a stalker, it's also very bitter.

You said that if you say something important, you can still hear two sentences, but you don't say anything, just hug each other so dryly, hugging each other in the winter? What is there to hold?

When the candle in the kitchen went out, I just heard what I was sleeping, and it seems that the relationship between this false sister and brother is not simple? Sleep all together and tsk.

Ruomi, who was sent to keep an eye on him, sighed a little, this errand was really hard, and after he went back, he would ask the adults for a reward.

That's right, according to Emperor Gao De's will, Qi Qingchu has only secretly guarded Li Jiye, and he has not made a noise, and it is not easy to imprison.

But recently, somehow, many Yan people have come to the capital, which has caused Qi Qingchu's eyeliner to be nervous, and these eyeliners have summarized the news to Ruomi, and Ruomi has told Qi Qingchu.

Qi Qingchu, who did not send people to keep an eye on Li Jiye in the past, finally sent Ruomi to follow, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"My lord, my subordinates have been following Li Jiye for more than a month, and they haven't made any special discoveries before, but just today, my subordinates saw two tall men approaching Li Jiye and said something to him, and then Li Jiye walked behind the two of them.

Because the number of words spoken by the other party is very small, and the voice is extremely low, it is not heard when it is far away, and the subordinates guess what it should be, as for the two people, the subordinates also suspect that they are from the Yan Kingdom.

The three of them went to the house and entered a room, in order not to startle the snake, the subordinates did not dare to approach them, but just guarded the house from a distance, and when Li Jiye came out, it was already close to evening. ”

Ruomi first systematically recounted his experience today, because he knew that Qi Qingchu would definitely ask specific details, so it was not good to say that he couldn't grasp the key points so much.

"What are the hallmarks of those two tall men?" Qi Qingchu stood in front of the table, gently leaned his back on it, and then thought with his eyebrows contemplated.

"My lord, they are all black, they can only see a pair of eyes, they can't see anything else, their subordinates can't describe it, just by looking at their backs, they feel that they are aliens."

"There is no basis for such speculation. Where did the two go? What about Li Jiye? ”

"Those two people left after Li Ji went out at night, they were extremely cautious and very guarded, and they might be discovered if they showed their heads slightly, they were not ordinary people, they were definitely trained. And Li Jiye obediently went back to the small courtyard, and Li Jicai didn't buy the incense he bought. ”

"Buy incense?"

"Yes, looking at Li Jicai means that the smell in the house is too unpleasant, and I want to buy some incense and come back to smoke it, this woman is also strange, she cleans the room diligently and quickly, but she loves to sing songs, and she pulls her throat from time to time, but she can't finish singing completely, and she has no beginning or end, and it is very ugly."

Ruomi was guarding Li Jicai's yard for half a day in the morning, and he was naturally clear about the situation in the house.

"Getting to the point." It means that Li Jicai is not the point, Qi Qingchu doesn't care about her, but the inexplicable noise in her heart doesn't know where it comes from.

Isn't it Li Jicai's habit to love singing blindly? What's so surprising about that, when she was on his side before, he experienced it with himself, and the singing voice was simply miserable. I don't know who taught her this, is she worthy of her conscience?

"Yes, after those two strange men left the house, they went their separate ways, and quickly merged into the crowd, and the subordinates were lost." Ruomi felt ashamed to say it.

"Can you lose it?" Qi Qingchu was a little skeptical, Ruomi's tracking ability was one of the best among his men.

Qi Qingchu has a group of special subordinates, all of whom start with Ruo Zi and are responsible for different affairs, such as Ruoping's big butler, who is actually Qi Qingchu's arm in the Ming Dynasty, and Ruo Li in the dungeon, Ruomi who is in charge of intelligence, etc., in addition, all the servants in Qi Mansion start with Ruo Zi, and Qi Qingchu's subordinates are mixed in it.

Ruomi unconsciously touched his ears, which was a small action when he was embarrassed.

"Yes, I belong to a person, I can't be separated, and I finally returned to the small courtyard, but I saw ......" Qi Qingchu said that he couldn't speculate on unwarranted things, and he couldn't help but add drama to himself.

"What?"

"After Li Jiye entered the small courtyard, Li Jicai happened to be at the door of the kitchen, and then Li Jiye stepped forward to hug her, and the two hugged her very intimately at the door of the kitchen for a long time, until the candles in the kitchen were extinguished, maybe there were not much, but the subordinates felt that they had seen it for a long time, and they heard them say that where to sleep at night, they should sleep together, and the intimacy is extraordinary." It's not a brother and sister in the first place, and it looks like it has a leg.

After Qi Qingchu heard Ruomi's description, he lowered his eyelids, and the hand that was originally behind his back was also retracted, and he buried it in his chest instead, such a posture is rare for Qi Qingchu, he rarely has inelegant movements in front of outsiders, including his own subordinates.

"She didn't refuse?"

"No, she also patted Li Jiye's back in response, it should be comforting, and then they entered the door......"

"Well, okay, I know, it's okay, you go out first." Qi Qingchu interrupted Ruomi's intention to add, and slightly restrained his impatience to take people away.

Ruomi saw Qi Qingchu's face was not worried, thinking that it was because Li Jiye's affairs were more tricky, indeed, when Qi Qingchu

When he told him to stare at this person, he was still strange, what was he doing staring at this person in a good manner, but he didn't expect that it was in collusion with the people of Yan Kingdom, this is still a new science list, and he entered the Hanlin Academy, which is really terrible.

"It's not too early for the subordinates to retire, so the son should rest early." Ruomi bowed down and went out after retreating, staying in the son's room for a short while, the place where he was standing had already formed a small pool of water, he had to hurry back to change his clothes, and then rush to Li Jiye's house to continue monitoring.

Qi Qingchu stared at the ground in front of him with an indifferent expression.

What a casual woman.

He was able to throw him down in the snow at the beginning, and now he can hug others in other places.

Shameless!

Qi Qingchu's slender white fingers unconsciously touched his neck, and after thinking of the traces left by Li Jicai here, he suddenly felt annoyed and ashamed, pinched his skin and rubbed it hard, and the dense pain spread, feeling as if he was contaminated with some dirt.

Thinking of the day she left his house, Li Jiye pulled her away, Qi Qing suddenly felt unhappy. He turned his face and glanced at the official documents piled up on the table, and suddenly lost the mood to deal with it.

Irritability.

If Li Jicai knew that he had inadvertently offended Qi Qingchu, he would not be able to cry to death. In someone's eyes, she has become synonymous with water-based poplars.

And if someone sees it with their own eyes, it's not like jumping into the Yellow River and can't be washed.

originally had a very bad impression, Qi Qingchu was really annoyed with her.

Who can say clearly about this emotional matter?

The next morning, Xi Zien had nothing to do and came to Qi Mansion first.

Two days ago, he received a letter from Li Jiye, saying that he was invited to come to their small courtyard on the day of the Lantern Festival, saying that it was ready and the wine and food were entertained, and he was grateful to Xi Zien for taking care of them during this time.

In addition, the letter emphasized that he was only invited alone, that is, Qi Qingchu was not among their invitations.

Xi Zi Zheng actually wanted to know what happened between the two of them during the time that Li Jicai was hiding in Qi Qingchu's mansion, but Rao was as bold as him, and he didn't dare to ask one of the two people, in case he annoyed them, wouldn't it be the end. It's okay to joke, but it's okay to make a big fuss.

However, when he received the invitation, he still couldn't help but go to Qi Qingchu to tease him, so he could probe and find out, maybe he would find something.

Qi Qingchu took the initiative to take in Li Jicai, which was not his idea, but the Li family sisters and brothers thought that he did it, at least they thanked him in the letter they wrote.

What else can they be thankful for? In fact, he didn't do anything, he begged for a trick in vain, and it was good to have a mixed meal, after all, after a long time, he already missed Li Jicai's cooking.

But he didn't intend to explain, after all, the Lord didn't want to explain, and if he got it, wouldn't he be a fool if he wanted to say it?

Xi Zien felt that he was also a shrewd.

But it's not a coincidence, it's really not a coincidence.

Qi Qingchu annoyed Li Jicai last night, and Xi Zien came over this morning to see off his head.

Ruoping housekeeper led Xi Zien to the door of Qi Qingchu's courtyard, and then went in first to report, if Gongzi is willing to see, then he will see, but if Gongzi says that he can't see it, then he can't see it.

Xi Zien knew Qi Qingchu's temper, but he thought that his recent performance was extremely good, and he didn't cause trouble or trouble, so Qi Qingchu shouldn't have anything to make him angry.

Although Qi Qingchu lost his temper in his house last time, it was not a big problem, and he resisted it.

"Please come in." Butler Ruoping quickly came out of it, with a respectful smile on his elegant face, and made a gesture of inviting Xi Zien.

Xi Zien raised his eyebrows at Ruoping, and the other party's smile did not change, indicating that Qi Qingchu's mood was calm and good today.

"Qingchu, why haven't you been to my house lately?" Xi Zien posted it with a smile, looking very flattering.

Qi Qingchu was holding the scroll in his hand and reading it seriously, the expression on his face was very gentle, but he was a little tired between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked like he had stayed up too late.
