He lowered his hand and chuckled lightly before he said, "When can Qianxi go to Shuifu?" Although there is a maid over there, the old lady's birthday is approaching, and I am afraid that there will be more opportunities to show up these days. ”

"Observe one more day tonight, if there is no rejection, she can go back tomorrow, but because of lack of time, I have more than doubled the dose of her prognosis. So I need to make painkillers for her, otherwise she will tear the pain at the knife in the middle of the night. ”

"I'll help you."

He said to do it, sat down at Qu Youying's pharmaceutical place, and began to grind the medicinal herbs into powder, although the movements were not very skillful, but that look made Qu Youying look at it, as if returning to the time when they were learning art.

At that time, it was always noisy, especially her and Master, they were always messing with each other, and most of the time, Mu Jingzhu sat on the side reading a book, or grinding medicine, watching them argue.

Sometimes, whoever of them disturbed him would be beaten and scolded.

Of course, it was Qu Youying who was beaten, and it was Master Xi Fengyi who was scolded.

For them, the days at that time were very simple, and they never imagined that there would be such a day, and their hearts would be so heavy in the face of familiar people.

"Jing Candle."

Qu Youying sat at the table, looked at him for a long time, and then gently called his name.

"Press?"

Mu Jingzhu did not raise his head, and the sound was thick and very good.

"Do you think that between us, will we go back to the way we used to be, happy and reckless, but we don't need to bear too much suffering?"

Mu Jing Candle's action of grinding medicine was slightly paused, and then stopped.

He didn't look up, he didn't speak, and the silence returned between the two of them.

Until Qu Youying thought he wouldn't answer, he moved his lips slightly and said, "Even if you don't, I should bear the trouble for you." ”

Qu Youying's pupils shrank suddenly, looked at him, and didn't reply.

Instead, Mu Jingzhu put down the herbs in his hand, got up and walked in front of her, staring at her condescendingly.

Then he didn't care if she said yes or not, opened his hand and hugged her.

His chin rested on top of her head, holding her head with one hand and his body with the other.

Mu Jingzhu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how to tell you in detail, in short, the relationship between me and the barley is innocent, and it is only because of some things that it will be presented as you see." It's just that there are some things that I can't tell you right now, but one day, I'll confess everything to you. Xiaoying, I have been with you for more than ten years, and I have become accustomed to nature, without you, I will only live like a year, so no matter whether you hate me or not, as long as I live, I will never let you go. You have to be prepared. ”

Qu Youying opened his mouth in his arms, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

In his ears was his heartbeat again and again, very rhythmic and regular, neither fast nor slow.

He's not lying, he's just stating the facts.

For a moment, Qu Youying wanted to laugh, but she felt very sleepy, especially when she was snuggled by him like this, feeling the familiar atmosphere.

For her, it was a sense of security, and there was no harm.

Mu Jingzhu was not in a hurry for her answer, just hugged her like that, followed her black hair for a while, until the person in her arms, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

He was shocked to realize that Qu Youying was asleep.

For a moment, he had a feeling that he couldn't cry or laugh.

Reluctantly, he let her go, bent down and picked her up, put her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

He didn't leave, sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, looked at her comfortable sleeping face, somewhere in his heart, after all, it was stable, as if he had found a home.

For the first time in these days, there was a relaxation.

"Xiaoying, I can't keep you from being hurt all the time, I can only try my best to minimize the damage to you from the outside world. As long as I am in one day, even if it is life and death, you are mine. ”

He lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her lips, lingering.

He would only feel comfortable if she was by his side.

It is a kind of guardianship of habits, unchanging eternity.

On the second day, early in the morning, Qianxi woke up, Mu Jingzhu and Xie Xiaoer protected him before and after, and quietly sent the person back to Shuifu.

But Xie Xiaoer was still not at ease, so until the old lady's birthday, he went to visit Qianxi in Shuifu from time to time under the pretext of making fun of Shui Linze.

is also very careful to look for Xi Fengyi's traces.

Today, it is the birthday of the old lady of Jiangnan Shuifu, early in the morning, many people came to congratulate the birthday, and it was lively, as if all the things that happened during this period of time have dissipated with the advent of this joy.

The main banquet is held in the evening, and there is also a banquet in the house during the day.

After eating some at noon, Shuifu arranged a place for the guests to rest.

But only those with high status and status, and the rest will only go to the banquet in the evening.

Qu Youying still appeared as Xie Xiaoer's cousin, and the two of them ate with extra care, and then rested in the courtyard arranged by the Water Mansion.

"I'm going to see the Thousand Rhinos."

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Xie Xiaoer excused himself to go out.

Qu Youying wanted to stop it, after all, he was too close to the fourth lady, which would only make people suspicious.

But whenever she saw Xie Xiaoer's worried eyes, she couldn't bear it, as long as she let him go.

After lunch, Mu Jingzhu was called over by Shui Linze, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Now in this courtyard, there are only two people, she and Yun Shu.

When she was resting in the room, Yun Shu opened the door and came in, still holding tea in her hand, putting the tea on the table, she said casually, "Miss, the slave maid met the mother and daughter in the second room, and she is walking this way!" ”

"What are you doing here?"

It is all for guests, and on the left side of her courtyard is the resting place of King Ji.

So Qu Youying's eyes rolled and said, "Is it for King Ji?" ”

"I don't know, the slaves don't want them to find out, so they bypassed."

Qu Youying glanced at the mask on her face and smiled, "Don't be afraid, they won't recognize it." ”

"But be careful! If they know that you are here, Miss, you have come here and made such a big fuss, I wonder how they will sue when you go back! ”

Yun Shu made her a cup of tea, nagging and reading, Qu Youying smiled, "I'm not afraid!" Anyway, I never put them in my eyes. But if you have nothing to do, why don't I go next door and see how it goes? ”

"Miss, don't make a fuss. Young Master Jing Zhu said, don't act without permission, King Yi is said to be arriving soon, in case he finds you-"

"What are you afraid of! Who would recognize Qu Youying as I look like this! Stay, I'll go back. ”

She put down her teacup and walked out without looking back.

Actually, she wasn't really boring gossiping, but she was surprised that the mother and daughter in the second room were so bold to come to King Ji, in order to really just find a good family for her daughter?

That's too bold.

She went out lightly, outside King Ji's courtyard, there was no one waiting, but there was a voice from inside, which sounded like Aunt Sun's.

Qu Youying didn't think much about it, so she took a step forward and wanted to go in.

But suddenly she heard someone talking outside the courtyard, so she flashed and hid behind a big tree in the courtyard gate.

After a while, a woman walked into the courtyard.

Qu Youying saw that she was the eldest lady of Shuifu, and the water was flawless.

Although this person was born as a concubine, she is the most favored daughter in Shuifu, and the reason is just that the old lady is spoiled.

She asked the maid to go in and report, while she stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited.

Qu Youying nested on the side, and really felt that she should have gone in earlier, so that she could see what the reaction of the second room was.

The maid who went in came back soon, and then said something in Shui Wufang's ear, and Shui Wufang's face sank instantly.

"It is unreasonable for an inferior person who doesn't know where he came from to dare to take Miss Ben's first. Let's go inside. ”

Shui Wufang was not as lively as it seemed on the surface, and just such a sentence was enough to show her jealousy.

Their master and servant went in one after another, and Qu Youying was about to go out to poke her head out, when she saw someone coming here again, so she just hid back again.

It was Shui Wuyue and Shui Qinyu who came in, the former didn't seem to want to come, and the latter dragged her in.

"Sister, it's all here, what are you going to do when you go back? Don't you want to see King Ji? ”

Shui Qinyu pulled her and refused to let go, Shui Wuyue said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to see it, but grandma said that before the birthday, it's best to avoid it, so as not to fall into the mouth, so let's go back, right?" ”

"What are you afraid of, whoever dares to say it, I will have her tongue cut!"

"Sister, no. You are a person who wants to be the crown princess, how can you be so ruthless, you have to convince people with virtue. ”

"My sister is right, if you have to do too much, you will be talked about."

"So, my sister still listens to me, go back first, won't you be able to see King Ji at night? What's more, King Yi is also about to arrive in the mansion, and our women who have not yet left the cabinet really can't wander around at this time. ”

Shui Wuyue said one by one, and Shui Qinyu was obviously moved.

But she came here and asked her to go back, and she was a little unwilling, so she hesitated for a while and said, "Why don't you go back first, sister?" If the prince is not there, I will come back immediately. ”

She liked King Ji, so she ran in without saying a word.

Shui Wuyue wanted to stop her, but she was also a step too late, and when she watched her enter the house, she suddenly showed a worried look and a sly smile.

She was not in a hurry to leave, and waited until the noise of the woman came from inside, then she smiled and turned to leave.

Qu Youying saw everything in her eyes, and suddenly felt that the women in this Shuifu were really different from each other, exactly the same as men, and they were not a good thing.

So, too, she lost interest in the quarrel that took place in the house, and came out from behind the tree and returned to her yard.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw King Ji, who was supposed to be dealing with the woman's quarrel, sitting in her room calmly, drinking the tea that Yun Shu had made for her.

"Y-Why are you here?"

Jiang Tong didn't answer her words, but asked with a smile, "Cousin Xie knows me?" ”

Qu Youying glanced at him, "You are the cunning King Ji, who can not know you." ”

"Tsk, this tone is very much like a resentful lady Miss Qu!"

"Who do you say complains about?"

"Whoever inherits is whoever is who! I saw you crying angrily a few days ago! Why do you look at it today, and your spirit is good? Reconciled? ”

She wasn't at all interested in how he recognized her.

Sitting down in a chair, she poured herself a glass of water, and when she drank it, she pouted and said, "Say, what are you doing here?" ”
