Hungry and cold, coupled with the fatigue of the journey, Qinghuan fell ill within a few days.

Last year, when she was sick at this time, she was in a well-off palace, but now she is on the way to exile.

Thinking that it was impossible for the official to stay and wait for her to recover, she didn't want to drag her feet and become a troublesome person. So when she felt feverish, she held on and didn't tell anyone.

The weather was good and the trip was smooth. Not long after lunch, I saw a small village in the distance. Seeing the village meant that there was no need to rush to the road, and everyone was happy and sat down to rest.

Qing Huan's face has not been very good, she said that she was too tired on the road, and she would be fine if she had a good rest. And Agu, who is in the midst of sweetness, is not suspicious.

When he was resting, Agu lay her down, but he touched her hand and was hot, and his heart panicked, "Why are Madame's hands so hot?" “

Qing Huan smiled reluctantly, "It's too cold this day, I have to warm up." “

Agu actually believed such a trick, "Madame still has this ability?" “

Qing Huan held on, "Of course, this is my unique skill." “

Agu smiled, helped her sit down, and said, "When will that lady teach me?" “

Qing Huan cheered up and laughed with her for a while, then looked up at Li Yan, who was still sitting with his back to them, not knowing what he was thinking.

I only feel that I am getting farther and farther away from him, more like a stranger.

Qing Huan sitting, only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, she thought it was uncomfortable to sit, so she tried to stand up and walk around. As soon as she stood up, she fainted.

When she woke up, Qing Huan was already lying on a bed, and it was already dark outside. Agu sat next to him, frying the medicine. Seeing Qing Huan wake up, he hurriedly said, "Madame, lie down for a while, and the medicine will be decoctioned." ”

"Where is this?"

Agu replied: "It's the small village I saw before, and I found someone to stay overnight." ”

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been hours. There is no doctor here, it is the villagers who said that some herbs can cure diseases, and Gongzi and Yuan Chao went to the mountains to pick some back, which is not almost fried. ”

Qing Huan was taken aback, "Who did you say went?" ”

"Gongzi and Yuan Chao have both gone."

"Why did he go?"

Agu didn't know what Qing Huan was referring to, "Of course he has to go." Otherwise, who will go? Oh, ma'am, you said Childe, right? I don't know why Childe is going. ”

Qing Huan listened, and his heart turned upside down.

What does he mean by that? What Qing Huan is most afraid of is that he will suddenly be kind to her again, he is really afraid of something. It's better not to be cranky, the more you think about it, the more troublesome it becomes.

At this time, Agu decocted the medicine and brought it to the bedside, "Madam, this medicine is still a little hot, I'll blow it for you and drink it." ”

Qing Huan leaned back on the bed and watched through the faint light as Agu laboriously blew on the medicine. It didn't take long for Agu to hand over the medicine, "I smell a little bitter, Madame has to bear with it, there is no candied fruit to eat here." ”

Qing Huan doesn't care about this, he is outcast, it's good to be able to save his life, what else do you need.

Then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and swallowed the medicine quickly. After completing this arduous task, the person was more relaxed, so he leaned on the side of the bed and chatted with Agu without a match.

It turned out that after she fainted, Yuan Chao carried her on his back and quickly ran to the village. Ah Gu also hurriedly followed, not noticing Li Yan. The medicine they picked up in the dark at night was only sent by Yuan Chao alone.

Ah Gu was thinking about Qing Huan, and he didn't pay much attention to Li Yan. When Qing Huan asked now, she didn't know how to answer.

Qing Huan didn't ask again when she heard her say this, this was a little sleepy, so she continued to sleep.

When Qinghuan woke up the next day, Agu had already decocted the medicine and put it on the table, but there was no one in the room. Qing Huan tried to stand up, and found that he was much better, I don't know if it was because of the effect of medicine, or because it was because his life was cheap, he was able to feed.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and drank the medicine, and Agu pushed the door in. With a bowl in his hand, he saw her and said, "Madam, you are up, this is the porridge made by the old woman, and I can only drink this in the morning." ”

As he spoke, he had already brought the porridge. Qing Huan looked at it, what kind of porridge is this, it is clear to the bottom, it is clearly a bowl of water.

Ah Gu looked at Qing Huan's appearance and thought that she disliked this bowl of porridge, "Madame, let's just eat, there is nothing good to eat here." ”

Qing Huan was disgusted, but he was just a little surprised when he looked at it, so he replied: "Wandering, I naturally don't have any requirements, it's good to be able to drink a bowl of porridge." With that, he picked up the bowl and drank it with a grunt.

Then she asked Agu, "Are you going to leave today?" ”

"It's about to leave, and the two officials are afraid that the lady will not be able to bear it, so they are asking me to ask."

"Then let's go, I'm feeling a lot better."

"If Madame's body can't bear it, she can stay and recuperate for a day."

"Let's go, go early and get to the place early, save time on the road."

Agu's stop didn't work, so he had to start packing his things and getting ready to go.

When I went out, I found that the sky outside was gloomy, and although the south was not as solemn as the north, the weather in the winter still made people feel bad.

If it were placed now, Qing Huan felt that he should have turned on the air conditioner at home, hiding in the quilt, chasing the series. However, looking at the situation I am facing at this time, it is really a matter of fact.

Qing Huan rode a horse, led by Yuan Chao, and walked slowly behind. The two officials in front of them took Li Yan and walked not fast. It was swallowed slowly, and it was not until it was dark that I walked to the next market.

The accommodation conditions are getting worse and worse, and when you get here, you can only squeeze two people into a bed.

Agu was afraid that she would not feel well, so he insisted on sleeping on the ground. The two argued for a while, until Qing Huan said angrily: "If you insist on sleeping on the ground, then I will sleep on the ground too." “

Ah Gu had no choice but to lie on the bed obediently, and the two of them squeezed a quilt. Qing Huan smiled and said, "Look, it's warmer for two people to sleep together." “

Agu said angrily: "Yes, yes, Madame is right." Madame, go to sleep. The two talked a little and fell asleep slowly.

The rest of the trip is also boring, and the weather is getting colder and colder, so I don't know when it's a head.

Rao is like this, but Qinghuan's body is recovering day by day, and in the face of such a cold day, there is nothing to do. I have to feel that it's just because of the cheapness of life.

The last leg of the road finally came to an end. One day in January, during the day, they approached a slightly larger town, and two officials led Li Yan to his life.

Yuan Chao settled them down, and then said that he was going to the official mansion to pick up Li Yan, and left. Qing Huan and Agu lived in a slightly decent inn, and they were already full of joy.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was okay at this moment, Qinghuan asked Ah Gu to prepare hot water and took a comfortable bath by himself.

They were a little hungry when it was dark, but Yuan Chao hadn't come back yet, so they waited quietly in the inn. Ah Gu repaired the clothes that had been broken before, while saying this to Qing Huan: "Madam, what are you going to do next?" “

Qing Huan hadn't thought about what to do next, mainly because she didn't know what to do.

Arrived at the destination, and then what? Where Li Yan will go, everything will have to wait for them to come back. She replied, "Wait until they come back." “

"Madam, I don't think Childe can stay in the town either, so I must go to the market tomorrow to buy everyday things."

Ah Gu has more life experience than Qing Huan, and Qing Huan will naturally listen to her, "Of course, you can go back and arrange these." I don't know what to buy either. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Chao pushed the door in, helping the pale Li Yan.

Ah Gu hurriedly caught up with him and helped Li Yan to sit on the bed. Qing Huan asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the old man of the official still has to embarrass him at this time? ”

Yuan Chao said sullenly: "It's not, it's just that the son is a little injured, and he was holding on before." ”

Qing Huan looked at him, he looked a little weak, but he didn't see any injuries. Although he was puzzled, he didn't want to ask more, so he said, "We are waiting for you to come back for dinner." ”

"I have just asked the shopkeeper to get ready, and I will send it to the house later."

Qing Huan nodded, and sure enough, the shopkeeper sent a hot meal after a while, and it was a blessing to be able to eat hot meals in winter.

Besides, they were on the road before, and they were all random and improvised. It's been a long time since I've had a decent meal.

After the meal was put away, Qing Huan sat down, and Yuan Chao helped Li Yan up and sat aside.

Because it was already like this, there was no longer any need for etiquette, and Qing Huan asked Yuan Chao and Ah Gu to sit down to eat together.

Qing Huan was a little hungry, and before he knew it, he ate a lot. And Li Yanfang Buddha's appetite was not very good, and he only ate a few mouthfuls of food. During the banquet, Yuan Chao talked about the future.

Li Yan was going to a deserted place, and someone would take them there in two days. Therefore, it is necessary to buy everything in the town in these two days, otherwise it will be very troublesome to go to the market in the future.

Qing Huan asked about money. Yuan Chao said: "The bill given by the general is too big, and it can't be changed here." Later, I'll look for an opportunity to go to a bigger town. ”

"So what now?"

The money has always been in the hands of Yuan Chao and Ah Gu, and she doesn't know how much she has. Ah Gu took out some broken silver from his baggage, measured it, and said, "There are probably three taels of silver, enough for us to buy everything." ”

"What about after you're done?"

"I wonder if Madame has any jewelry with her?"

Qing Huan thought about it, he was in too much of a hurry to leave the palace at that time, and he didn't bring any jewelry.

But when she went back to get the little token, she took a jade bracelet that her mother gave her when she got married, and she never took it off.

Thinking of this, she took off the jade bracelet from her strict clothes and said, "This is the thought that my mother left me when I got married." Let's pawn it. ”

Yuan Chao took it expressionlessly, and Li Yan, who had not spoken, spoke: "Don't take that, I still have something here." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his clothes and handed it to Yuan Chao.

Qing Huan was curious about how he had hidden this jade pendant for so long and brought it all the way here.

But after Li Yan finished speaking, he didn't speak, and Qing Huan didn't ask.

Yuan Chao took the jade pendant, hesitated a little, and finally said: "Childe, this jade pendant can't be pawned." ”

"It's useless to keep it."

Yuan Chao no longer persuaded him, but turned his head to look at Qing Huan. Qing Huan didn't know what this jade pendant was, so he didn't speak.

Later, after eating, everyone cleaned up. Yuan Chao helped Li Yan back to their own room, and Ah Gu went to fetch hot water to bathe Li Yan. Qing Huan was alone in the house, bored and playing with the lanterns.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Yuan Chao was heard outside: "Madame, it's me, can I come in?" ”

Qing Huan sat up straight, "Come in." ”

Yuan Chao is not a person who drags mud and water, and as soon as he came in, he said directly: "Madam, that jade pendant is a symbol of the identity of the son." You can't pawn it. ”

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Chao stepped forward slightly and said in a low voice: "Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing the three princes." ”

Qing Huan suddenly realized, "Since that's the case, take the jade bracelet and don't tell him." ”

Yuan Chao said again: "This jade pendant is also asked to be kept by Mrs. on behalf of me." After speaking, he took out the jade plate, held it in both hands and handed it to Qing Huan.

Qing Huan didn't answer at first, she was a little hesitant. But after thinking about it for a while, I decided to put it away. So he took it and said, "Then let me go here." ”

Yuan Chao bowed and went out.

Qing Huan played with this jade pendant, and saw that its workmanship was very exquisite, and it should also be carved from the best jade. But Qing Huan didn't understand this, and he felt bored after playing for a while, so he put it away.

The next day, everyone went their separate ways, Ah Gu took Qing Huan to buy items, while Yuan Chao went to exchange money, and Li Yan stayed in the room to rest. No more rushing, no other troubles. This time I went shopping, Qing Huan felt happy.

When she meets a candy gourd seller, she wants to buy a bunch to eat, and when she meets a handicraft knick-knack, she wants to buy one to play.

Agu had no choice but to leave her. The things Qing Huan picked were not expensive, and she herself was measured. The two of them picked and chose to go around, stopped and stopped, and before they realized that the morning had passed, the two returned with a full load.

On the way back, they met Yuan Chao, who came to greet them. Yuan Chao took everything over and held it himself, Ah Gu felt sorry for him, and insisted on taking some. Qing Huan walked behind, looking at Yuan Chao, who was with Ah Gu, no longer the taciturn and unsmiling person, but instead became a warm big brother, and Ah Gu jumped around him like a child, very happy.

Qing Huan watched from behind, and was very envious in his heart.

As the saying goes, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. Sure enough, in such a harsh environment, because of love, the two of them didn't feel how hard life was. And Qing Huan and Li Yan are on the side, which has become a stark contrast.
