In the dead of night, the lights were turned off everywhere in Qinghe Town, and the whole town was dark and quiet.

Only the Qinghe Inn, the five private rooms where people live are still lit, and they are all lit.

Li Jiuke was beating a drum in his heart, he had fallen asleep, and when he got up at night, he suddenly wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but he saw a row of five rooms all lit up.

Of the five rooms, four were occupied by the five newcomers to-day, and the one next was occupied by the woman who had arrived this morning.

If you think about it, these people really seem to be weirdos.

The lights were on, but it was quiet inside, and it was clear that he had fallen asleep. How can it not be strange that you fall asleep but don't turn off the lights?

It's strange and it's really strange, but Li Jiuke didn't ask too much, and now the situation in Qinghe Town is better than one more thing than one less. Since he had made up his mind to treat them as ordinary guests, he would not think of reporting them to Xia Lin.

He didn't deal with Xia Lin.

Last time Xia Lin came to search the inn, he didn't inform him in advance, nor did he remind him to get ready, but fortunately he didn't find that room.... Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to get out in full view.

Based on this alone, Xia Lin didn't inform him in advance, and he was very reluctant to provide him with the whereabouts of any suspicious person.

Moreover, these few are still rich people, as long as he has money to make now, he doesn't care what kind of money he makes.

But the one called Zixu......

Li Jiuke turned his head and glanced at the room in the corner, the woman was introduced by Luo Sheng, and Luo Sheng and the others left the woman that night.

said that she was an old friend with her brother, but this approach was too unusual.

The girl later also said that she and Luo Sheng were not old acquaintances, who was telling the truth and who was lying, Li Jiuke suddenly became a little messy, and he couldn't figure it out.

He shook his head and paced away.

Whatever, those officers and soldiers have come back and forth several times, but no one has ever arrested her, and it really has nothing to do with her.

……

……

The night will be bright, and the birds will cry.

The snow was falling outside the window, and the tea smoke was already clear in the house.

Yu Nanxi didn't sleep well all night, and before dawn in the morning, she ran to Duan Cheng to see if he had come back and whether he was safe and sound.

But before I entered the door, I saw a faint light in the room, and the fragrance of tea wafted in the room, so uncomfortable, I panicked.

The snow was still falling, Yu Nanxi threw down the umbrella, walked to the eaves in three steps and two steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door vigorously, the back of his hand ached for a while, and screamed.

The people in the house naturally noticed it, but he was very bad now, the situation was very bad, and he couldn't go and open the door for her, let her come in and sit and warm up.

Duan Cheng blew out the lights in the room, coughed lightly twice and said coldly to the woman outside, "I was tired yesterday, and I just came back, and I was planning to rest, and it was still early, so the county lord should go back and rest for a while." ”

Yu Nanxi's raised hand stopped in mid-air, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

He did come back, but his tone was cold, as if he was really angry with her.

Good for you! Because you can't sleep well, the county lord even gave the county lord a closed door to eat, it's very good!!

Yu Nanxi stomped his foot.

"Miss, it's snowing and cold today, let's go back first." The girl who picked up the umbrella persuaded behind her.

It's cold, and it's easy to get cold.

Miss has always been unpleasant to Lord Duan, why this time.... The girl buried her head low.

Sure enough, Miss is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and it is not good to see others hurt, even if it is someone she doesn't like or even hate.

"Let's go, let's go, don't care, if you want to die, let's die, don't die.... Even if he doesn't die, it's not uncommon for the county lord to see him. Yu Nanxi stomped his foot again, and there was a lot of unwillingness in his heart.

If I knew that this Duan Cheng was heartless, I shouldn't have been worried about him.

She didn't want Duan Cheng to die, but this was only because, if he died, it would spread in the future, and those young ladies and sons who didn't like her and didn't like her would gossip and say-

You see, the Nancy county lord has died of his fiancé, and he has to be widowed at a young age......

Something like that.

Anyway, it's not what Yu Nanxi likes to hear.

Therefore, she didn't want Duan Cheng to die, just because she didn't want to hear others gossip about her.

If not, what would it matter if one Duan Cheng died, with her identity, she could still find a second and third Duan Cheng...... And even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life, the Yu family can afford to support her.

Thinking of this, it is inevitable to think of the reason and purpose of her coming to Qinghe Town this time.

She didn't come with Duan Cheng, and her purpose was naturally not Duan Cheng.

Rather—

Yu Nanshen, her big brother.

My father came back that day and said that her eldest brother had not been to court for many days, and had not sent any letter to the family, so that he did not know what had happened to him.

Later, my mother sent someone to the Son's Mansion, and I learned that the eldest brother was not in the Prince's Mansion at all.

A few days ago, she went over in person and saw a maid in front of Zizhao and Bai Yanzhu, but they didn't know.

Strange to say, she also saw another beautiful woman in Shizifu that day.

It turns out that there is another woman hidden in the mansion of the eldest brother? Where did the sister-in-law go?

Anyway, when I inquired, I felt that something was wrong everywhere, so my mother inquired about it.

Her eldest brother may be here, or her mother inquired about it from the Queen Mother.

I don't know if it's true or not.

The eldest brother is not a motivated person, so he can't wait to be idle and have nothing to do, how can he ask the emperor to go out? Or go that far away.

However, she only came because she stayed at home and was bored and panicked, not to see if her eldest brother was here.

……

……

After Yu Nanxi left, Duan Cheng asked people to light the lamp again, and the doctor who went to invite him also came with a medicine box. He was not shallowly poisoned, although it was not fatal, but he couldn't find a way to completely detoxify it for a while, so he could only slow it down first.

This poison is to urge people to vomit blood, like a life-urging talisman, it will not kill people for the time being, but once the days are long, vomiting blood again and again, sooner or later they will die.

The doctor was a little helpless and helpless.

This evil crooked poison, he is a doctor, not a poisoner, and he can't solve it.

"My lord, this is someone who has offended, and I am also ruthless in this poisoning." The green-robed doctor touched the beard on his chin and sighed.

It's not that he doesn't save it, it's that he can't save it.

Duan Cheng did not answer.

The doctor said: "I can only prescribe a blood-producing prescription for you for the time being, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell, this poison.... The old man really can't solve it. ”

"It's okay, as long as you can control it first, just control it first, you can't die for a while, there will always be another way." Duan Cheng propped himself up and said.

In short, he can't die yet, there is no endless road.

The doctor sighed, wrote down a prescription and handed it to the people around Duan Cheng, and gave a few words before leaving with the medicine box.

By this time, the sky was already bright and the snow had stopped.
