The boat slowly approached the mouth of the waterfall where the water had fallen, and she was afraid that the boat would accidentally go down with the water. However, in the turbulent water, the seemingly thin boat stopped firmly on the cusp of the waterfall break.

"Master." The people on the boat lowered their eyes slightly, bowed respectfully, and saluted.

He nodded, and carried her into the boat.

The guard waved the bamboo support in his hand, and with a slight slide, the boat crossed the water like a meteor and flew away.

The sound of water in their ears became quieter, and they gradually moved away from the mouth of the waterfall. Right now, the water in the pool is clear, and the sand and gravel fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river are visible at a glance, as if they are frolicking in the air out of thin air.

She has been held back in the Prime Minister's Mansion to beg for a living, she has never seen such a scene, and now her eyes are full of fawn-like curiosity.

Quietly stretched out her fingers and gently touched the mirror-like surface of the water, small ripples blurred in circles, and the corners of her mouth smiled softly.

Toru Takizawa looked at her, and a dark wave crossed his eyes.

"Master, it's almost there." The sound in her ears woke her up, and she withdrew her hand suddenly, raising her eyes to see what this palace looked like up close.

What catches the eye is the steps of white marble, which are carved with intricate patterns, which seem simple, but in fact, they are full of extravagance and wealth.

Toru Takizawa, who was beside him, pulled away, stepped over the water that was still some distance away, and stood on the steps in a blink of an eye to leave.

"Your Highness......" Su Qingyu subconsciously raised his hand, and instantly frowned, saying what was going on with the sense of loss in his heart.

Seeing that when he turned around and his eyes fell on her, her heart jumped, but her face was silent: "I was about to remind His Highness to be careful of my steps just now, but then I suddenly found that His Highness doesn't need my reminder." With a faint smile, he lowered his hand.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't say anything, and explained indifferently: "This king will arrange matters about the Pavilion of Sorrow, and if there are any clues, I will tell you to discuss them with you." ”

As she spoke, the boat touched the steps slightly, and with a slight shock, she leaned forward.

After a pause, she slowly stood up, the boat swaying on the water, and she fell a little crookedly, frowning at her feet.

Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared in front of him: "This king will help you." ”

After a moment's hesitation, she slowly stretched out her hand and placed it in the palm of her hand.

The big palm tightened slightly, pinched her soft, and completely wrapped her hand inside. All of a sudden, it seemed to grasp her heart.

As soon as her hand was hot, she withdrew her hand suddenly: "The courtiers thank Your Highness for your kindness." He looked down and didn't dare to look at the person in front of him, so he hurriedly jumped off the boat with a lot of splashes.

She ignored the wet hem of her skirt and ran up the stairs quickly.

Feeling the gaze behind him like a substance, a little panicked in his heart, and he quickly turned around and entered the gate of the other palace, with a sense of desertion and escape.

I don't know how long it took to turn like a headless fly before she stopped in a secluded courtyard. Panting and leaning against the tree behind her, her throat was hot and painful because she was running too fast, and her heart was beating as fast as a drum.

Thinking of the person who had just pinched her hand, she shrank in her heart and pinched her thigh hard.

It's very heavy, and it should be bruised.

The rapid pain made her gasp and wake up instantly.

After a moment's rest, she raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, and raised her weak steps to leave.

"Third Miss," the wooden door in the courtyard suddenly opened, and the voice of the Xiao family's grandmother was a little surprised, "The old man was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to stand outside." ”

Stretched out his hand and waved it inside, beckoning: "Come in, the old body will help you see if His Highness has helped you clean up the toxins in your body." ”

"There's Grandma Lao." Su Qingyu nodded, and obediently followed her into the door.

There was a faint sandalwood lingering in the room, as if there was nothing, like a soft hand, gently passing every inch of her body, her nerves instantly relaxed, and she sat down on the small stool of the Eight Immortals wooden table.

Rolling up her sleeves, she showed her somewhat pale wrist and gently placed it on the small cotton bag taken out by the Xiao family's grandmother, waiting for her to take her pulse.

A fingertip gently put it up.

The breeze blew from the door, dissipating a bit of the heat, and Su Qingyu, who was tired of running, squinted comfortably, and propped his other hand lightly on the table, and after a while, he was a little drowsy.

Suddenly, an indescribable sour smell penetrated into the tip of his nose, faintly, and a little ugly, which was particularly unpleasant.

She shuddered, opened her eyes, and turned her head to look around, looking for the source of the smell. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find the culprit.

Because of the sweat before, the clothes on the neckline were clinging to her, which was very uncomfortable. She frowned slightly, and after seeing that there were only two people in the room, she and the Xiao family's grandmother, her fingers gently pulled apart a little, ready to breathe.

Suddenly, a sour smell that reached her soul rushed out, making her face turn green, and she couldn't help retching a few times.

At this time, the fingers on the wrist were removed, and the grandmother of the Xiao family spoke: "Originally, you still had a little residual poison left, but you ran out of sweat when you hit the ground, and just dispersed the residual poison, and now it's okay." ”

"So...... The sour smell on my body is the residual poison that comes out? She suppressed the tumbling in her heart, her face was a little ugly, and she wanted to pull the skin off her body.

The grandmother of the Xiao family looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Because this time King Rin used his invincible essence blood to detoxify you, so it doesn't matter in front of you in the future." ”

"Huh?" She was stunned and turned her head to look at the Xiao family's grandmother, "So I still got a blessing in disguise this time?" ”

She smiled softly.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside.

She hurriedly gathered her clothes and sat upright looking at the door. A pale and familiar face appeared in front of her, and she looked slightly in a trance.

The woman walked up to the two of them in a plain dress, bowed to Yingying, and whispered softly: "Ruan Niang meets the two benefactors." ”

The person who came was Aunt Ruan's skinned sister.

Su Qingyu looked at the skin on her neck, raised her eyebrows slightly, and whispered to the Xiao family's grandmother, "Grandma, is she ...... What's going on? ”

After the Xiao family's grandmother told her the ins and outs of the matter, she nodded, rubbed her chin lightly with her fingers, and thought, "So she looks no different from ordinary people now." ”

"Yes. But only by appearance. Grandma Xiao took over the conversation, "She still has to cultivate for a while and let the old body observe and observe." ”

At this time, the woman suddenly knelt down in front of the two, kowtowed respectfully, and said earnestly: "Miss, the concubine wants to clean up the house herself, avenge her parents when she was innocent, and beg Miss to take the concubine to the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she is a cow or a horse." ”

She looked at the kneeling figure, and her eyes crossed with a little thought.

After a soothing smile on the corner of her mouth, she got up and helped her up: "Ruan Niang, you get up first, it's not that I don't help you, but you haven't recovered yet, how can I rush to take you back." Aunt Ruan covers the sky with one hand in the house, if you are not fully prepared, I am afraid that you will be discovered by her as soon as you pass. ”

She raised her head slightly, with a bit of hope in her somewhat empty eyes: "So as long as the concubine recovers from her illness, can she go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded.

"Great, great." She was a little excited, and the hand holding her trembled slightly.

"Ruan Niang, don't be in a hurry, stand up quickly, kneeling like this will pull your wounds." The grandmother of the Xiao family kindly reminded.

Ruan Niang shrank her hand like an electric shock and staggered up from the ground.

She glanced at Su Qingyu's clothes that were blown away by the wind, frowned slightly, and continued, "Third Miss, now that the residual poison has been dispersed, you can just soak in the old body and prepare a medicinal bath to completely wash the bone marrow, otherwise you just sweated, and now it's not good to stand in the wind and blow." ”

Su Qingyu's face burned slightly, and he nodded obediently.

Seeing this, the grandmother of the Xiao family stood up and walked to the door, looked back at the stunned person and smiled: "Don't you go with the old body?" "Lift your foot over the threshold.

She looked up and answered, and hurried to follow.

The place of the medicine pool is not far, a few steps away. The medicine pool was large, full of brown juice and had a faint medicinal fragrance. It may be a reference to the hot spring water, so the surface of the water bubbles with sulfur bubbles and a slight white mist.

Su Qingyu, who had an unpleasant smell on his body, couldn't help but untie his belt first, and after quickly returning a few pieces of clothes, he suddenly paused in his hand movements, and looked at the Xiao family's grandmother who had not left beside him a little restrained.

She pinched the placket of her clothes that was wide open in front of her, and said a little uncomfortably: "Grandma, why don't you go out." ”

The grandmother of the Xiao family spread out a pack of silver needles from her arms, glanced at her and said calmly: "When the old man goes out, who will give you the needle to guide the medicinal power?" Besides, you're like my granddaughter at my age. "There was a calmness in my eyes that I had never seen in the world.

After hearing this, her face burned slightly, and she felt that her little family was a little angry, and she let go of her shirt in her hand, and let it slide to the ground, revealing her thin ankles.

In order to hide the embarrassment in her heart, she casually provoked a topic: "Grandma, is your granddaughter as proficient in medical skills as you." ”

There was no sound behind her, and she was undressing her skirt in her hand and glanced behind with some curiosity, with a thick sadness between her eyebrows, she said softly: "I don't have a granddaughter, only a granddaughter, who was born to my only daughter desperately, but she has been dead for a long time, and she died so miserably." ”

"She has a nice little birthmark on her leg, shallow, like a flower petal." There was reminiscence in his voice.

"I, I'm sorry......" Su Qingyu pinched the skirt that had been untied and looked at her in a daze, a little nervous, and her phalanges turned a little white because she was too hard.

The grandmother of the Xiao family seemed to come back to her senses, suppressed the sadness in her eyes in a blink of an eye, and smiled reluctantly: "Look at what I told you to do this?" Sure enough, when people are old, they like to talk about the past. Hurry up and soak in the medicated bath, don't catch a cold. Reach out and help her untie her skirt.

The white petticoat slipped to the ground, and there was a small bruise on her thighs, as white as jade, like flower petals.
