In the third year of Changshun, the snow seems to have fallen extraordinarily. There is a vast white space between heaven and earth, and the capital is very clean.

"Lady of the Qin family, are you at home?" Outside the wind-blown squeaky door, a lady holding a child shouted with an anxious look on her face.

The howling north wind blew mercilessly across the woman's red cheeks, but she didn't care at all, only lowered her head and tightened the quilt that wrapped the child, and then looked up into the courtyard again.

"Squeak~" The door opened, and a woman in a cloth dress walked out, she stood at the door and looked out, before she said, "Aunt Zhou, come in." ”

When the aunt of the Zhou family heard her words, she immediately pushed the door and walked in, and hurriedly said as she walked: "Lady of the Qin family, take a look, my Xiaobao started to be hot all over my body last night, I, I don't know what to do, you must save my Xiaobao." ”

The woman lifted the thick curtain and motioned to the Zhou family's aunt to put Xiaobao on a chair in the hall.

She looked down at Xiaobao's flushed face, reached out to test the temperature of the child's forehead, and said decisively to the Zhou family's aunt: "Loosen the quilt and open the placket." ”

With that, he turned around and took a black porcelain jar and poured out a bowl full of wine with a rich aroma.

She held a wine bowl in one hand and a white handkerchief in the other, and when she saw the Zhou family's aunt standing there hesitantly and did not move, she couldn't help frowning.

"Aunt Zhou, if you want to save your son's life, listen to me, hurry up, if the high fever does not go away, it is easy to damage the heart." The cold voice interrupted the Zhou family's aunt's hesitation. The aunt of the Zhou family gritted her teeth, quickly loosened the quilt wrapped outside, and opened Xiaobao's placket.

The woman handed the bowl and handkerchief in her hand to the Zhou family's aunt: "Soak the handkerchief with wine, and wipe his armpits and palms and feet." ”

The aunt of the Zhou family hurriedly took the bowl and handkerchief, and wiped her son's armpits with a slight force.

The woman turned around and took a few silver needles and gently pierced them on Xiaobao's Quchi and Fengchi points.

"Wipe it for a while, and when the fever subsides, I'll prescribe a few more doses of medicine, and you can go home and fry it." The woman took out a handkerchief again, wiped her hands gently, and turned to look at the snow outside.

The aunt of the Zhou family wiped it for a while, and when she saw that her son's temperature had receded by half, she was pleasantly surprised, and she began to talk more.

"With such a heavy snowfall, it's not easy to go out, are you still on the clinic today, lady of the Qin family?"

"Nope." A faint answer came, the aunt of the Zhou family did not feel embarrassed, and the neighbors all knew that the lady of the Qin family had good medical skills, but in addition to saying a few more words when he was treating, he hardly spoke on weekdays.

"Alas, at noon today, at the entrance of the vegetable market, the general who killed the Tartar will be asked to be beheaded, if such a heavy snow can be delayed for a few days, it would be good, then the general is also a meritorious person, how can you say that you will be beheaded......"

The lady of the Qin family, who has never answered people's words, suddenly turned her head: "Who do you say is going to be beheaded?" ”

Seeing that she was interested, the aunt of the Zhou family hurriedly spoke carefully: "It's General Pingxi, who killed 300,000 Tartars in the west, I don't know what happened, and I will be beheaded at noon today." I heard that the whole general's mansion will be beheaded together. ”

The woman leaned against the window frame with a pale face, only to feel that all her strength had been drained.

Seeing the woman's appearance, the aunt of the Zhou family asked with some anxiety: "Qin family lady, you, are you okay?" ”

After a while, the woman stood firm on the window lattice, took off the silver needle on Xiaobao's body, walked to the table, and wrote down the prescription with a pen.

The aunt of the Zhou family walked out with the child in her arms, and said that she would come back tomorrow to pay for the consultation.

"Tomorrow?" The woman repeated with a low smile, but she didn't know that she was already in tears.

In the inner room, the woman dressed herself carefully in front of the bronze mirror, and a red plum was lightly smeared between the eyebrows depicted by Qing Dai, and the rouge was lightly smeared, so that the cheeks were polished like a newly opened Qiong flower.

The long hair that was once praised like brocade was combed back into a reverse bun, his favorite golden hairpin was inserted obliquely on his head, and the thin silver silk beaded tassels were decorated, and the red treasure earrings on his ears swayed brightly.

Dressed in a red thousand-petal chrysanthemum top, with a pine flower pleated Ruyi moon skirt, her bearing is graceful and calm, just like before.

She stood in front of the door and watched the snow for a long time, then picked up the bamboo umbrella by the door and walked towards the entrance of the vegetable market step by step.

The entrance of the vegetable market was densely packed with people watching the excitement, and on the temporary execution ground, a row of executioners stood naked in the flying snow, with fierce faces.

In front of them, kneeling was a row of people with their heads bowed.

The beautiful lady who only knows how to dress up beautifully and compete for the wind and is jealous, His Majesty personally appreciates the gentle and lovely Aunt Wen who can write and paint, the orchid who can sing and dance with Fanbang blood, and the loyal Mother Liu and Mai Sui......

Is this not even letting go of the maids in the house......

So why, none of the relatives have seen it?

"Execution!" The woman didn't hear what the warden said, until the last two words came out, and the woman stumbled, stumbling away from the crowd and walking forward.

What about that person? Is he absent?

When she squeezed to the front, she saw snowflakes that were white and were drenched in blood.

The snow seemed to be falling heavier, and in the midst of the crowd's chatter, the bright marks on the ground were re-concealed, and it seemed to be clean again.

But only those who have seen it with their own eyes know how disgusting the filth lies beneath it.

"Take someone to commit a crime, Lu Chengan."

The woman's whole body trembled, and she jerked her head up and stared closely at the tall man in front of her, who was wearing only a thin middle coat.

The heavy handcuffs and leg cuffs did not bend his body even a little, and his face was calm, as if he had watched her dry medicinal herbs and read medical books for countless idle afternoons.

Lu Chengan looked up at the crowd with a calm face, until he swept over the familiar figure, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Qin Ranran......" he muttered.

Qin Ranran seemed to hear his call, lifted her skirt and ran to him.

"Stop!" Two officers and soldiers drew their knives and stopped her.

"Your Majesty has a will, and the prisoner Lu Cheng'an colluded with foreign thieves with the intention of forcing the palace to rebel. The private hidden tunnels in the house, and with a large number of illegal weapons, are sentenced to be executed immediately! ”

Lu Chengan's eyes stared at Qin Ranran, who was full of tears, as if he wanted to carve her into his eyes.

Knife up.

The knife falls.

After turning his eyes a few times, he was still looking closely in Qin Ranran's direction.

"I know, I know......" Qin Ranran sat down on the ground and muttered to herself.

Following.

"Qin family lady, are you at home? Our little treasure has become very good, thank you so much. The aunt of the Zhou family knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

There was no response for a long time, and the Zhou family's aunt saw that the door was open, so she pushed the door and walked in.

Inside the room, a figure in a wedding dress lay motionless on the table.

"Lady of the Qin family, haven't you gotten up yet? On such a cold day, don't get cold. The aunt of the Zhou family stepped forward and pushed the figure.

The hand hung down weakly.

The smearing bright red on her lips made the Zhou family's aunt breathe.

"Ah......h
