'Squeak' –

When she pushed the door open, Ye Qingli found that Xiao Tingyi was standing at the table painting, and when she came in, she only glanced up slightly, and after laughing, she continued to bow her head and paint.

His slender fingers grasped the brush, sketching little by little, and the pattern on the drawing paper was already half full, as if it was about to be finished.

What is drawn?

Ye Qingli was a little curious, so he put down the matter of Fanghuayuan for the time being, and approached gently.

When I looked around, I found that he was painting a portrait, and the face of the person in the painting was very familiar to her, it was herself.

In the painting, the woman's black hair is like a cloud, and her skin is like white jade, her expression is looking forward to flying, her eyes are like stars and water, she is wearing a long concubine-colored skirt and fluttering, holding a translucent cloud chrysanthemum Luo yarn fan with an ivory handle in her hand, and a colorful butterfly is stopped on the fingertips of the other hand.

She never thought that Xiao Tingyi's painting skills were very good, and the similarity between her and the real her was eight or nine points.

"How?"

Xiao Tingyi's voice sounded, and Ye Qingli came back to his senses and found that he had put down his paintbrush, and the entire painting had been completed, and only the payment was left.

"This concubine is naturally beautiful, and she naturally looks good in the painting."

Ye Qingli smiled a little smugly, observing his expression.

And he thought that Xiao Tingyi would hit her, but he didn't want to, so he nodded, "Yes." ”

Ye Qingli didn't know how to answer for a while.

So, she remembered the matter of Fanghuayuan again, and asked, "Lord Wang, it's not good for you to send those beauties out." ”

Xiao Tingyi raised his eyebrows, "How is it bad?" ”

He really had never seen such a woman, and he didn't want his husband to spoil her alone?

"The image of the prince who is arrogant and lascivious has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and ...... at this time"

"This king will choose another batch to come in."

Knowing what she wanted to say, Xiao Tingyi interrupted her, in fact, he also wanted to see her reaction.

However, what made him powerless was that Ye Qingli still shook his head, "No, Lord Wang, re-select a batch to come in, what if it mixes into other people's eyes and ears?" ”

These words made Xiao Tingyi a little annoyed.

It wasn't those words that he wanted to hear.

So, he snorted, grabbed her wrist, stared at her, and asked in a deep voice, "Ye Qingli, have you never thought about yourself?" ”

All for revenge, and on top of that, it's tolerable at any cost?

So, is she just putting up with him?

Ye Qingli's heart was a little confused by him, and he opened his eyes and said, "I've always been thinking about myself. ”

In order to be able to achieve revenge on favorable terms, she pretended to be stupid, committed herself to him, and tried to play a good garbage princess, all out of her own considerations.

"Have you considered this king?"

Xiao Tingyi didn't know why, but when she saw her expression, she felt even more angry in her heart.

It's as if something that was once hard to grasp is about to be lost.

Ye Qingli smiled softly, "The prince is my husband, so naturally I have to think about it, and besides, for the sake of the prince, isn't it for myself?" ”

After saying that, she was a little weak-hearted.

Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know why she was saying this.

Obviously, she hopes and looks forward to someone who can do a lot of unexpected things for her, but when it really comes, she feels that all this is just illusory.

She was afraid of losing, and she was afraid of disappointment and blows, so she never had it.

"What the hell are you thinking?"

Xiao Tingyi's expression suddenly became extremely serious, "Ye Qingli, this king orders you to tell this king that you are not playing with this king's feelings." ”

Ye Qingli looked at him, a little surprised, and stopped talking.

His words came so unexpectedly and suddenly that she didn't know how to answer.

She never had the idea of what she could do with Xiao Tingyi, but she just wanted to cooperate on this basis and avenge Xuanmen and herself.

Or rather, she never had the luxury of expecting it.

The joy that was once full of hope was exchanged for a catastrophe, although she also persuaded herself from the heart, she still couldn't really treat Xiao Tingyi as someone who could be relied on.

"Everything the king has said to you is serious."

Xiao Tingyi pulled her into his arms and hugged her, feeling her slenderness, he couldn't help but hug her tighter again, "This king knows that it is difficult for you to trust people, although I don't know why, but this king wants to be a person you trust." ”

He didn't know why, but when he saw her for the first time, he felt special, and his heart throbbed.

Later, I also found out that she was really not what she seemed, and she was even more happy in her heart, thinking that maybe they were all the same kind of people, and in order to survive, they had to hide their essence.

But because of the previous incident, the person he hid in his heart made it difficult for him to distinguish his feelings, and even felt that he had a little affection for Ye Qingli, and he was sorry for that person.

But in the end, the person in his heart never knew who he was.

After thinking about it all these years, he was also tired.

Or, for her, his meaningless nostalgia was already a kind of ridiculousness, so he decided to let go and face his heart.

"I ......"

Ye Qingli said a word with some difficulty, and Xiao Tingyi felt that she seemed to be struggling, so she said again, "You don't have to rush to reply to this king, this king will also let you see it, everything will be proved with practical actions." ”

"Not ......"

"Huh?"

Hearing Ye Qingli's rebuttal, Xiao Tingyi couldn't hold it anymore, so he hurriedly let go of her, but she stomped on her hard, panting and complaining, "You almost strangled me!" ”

Xiao Tingyi's instep was in severe pain, and his expression was extremely convulsive.

He's just ......

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the idle king is so good."

Ye Qingli laughed, as if she was making fun of him, but Xiao Tingyi found that her ears were a little red.

"The princess should know that this king's kung fu is also very good."

Xiao Tingyi grabbed her again.

Immediately, he kissed the red lips a little domineeringly, tossing and turning, and feeling the softness, like a thirsty man in the desert, frantically sucking the sweet spring in the only oasis.

And then......

In broad daylight, an in-depth exchange of souls began.

Ye Qingli let him ask for it, feeling as if he was about to melt, and he really wanted to engrave his soul with the man in front of him.

She was determined to make a change.

Regardless of whether what Xiao Tingyi said was true or not, she decided to take the initiative to make Xiao Mingrui and Song Yue'er tremble with fear!

Half a month later.

In the cold winter of Layue, with the fluttering snowflakes, it seems that some kind of seal has also been sprinkled on the world, putting the entire capital under a blanket of silver.

And after this heavy snowfall, a lot of people began to get sick.

Most of them had high fevers and rashes all over their bodies, and everyone from the elderly to children was indiscriminately sick, and every hospital was crowded with water.

Originally, it was thought that this was just the result of the cold weather after the heavy snowfall, which made many people from poor families unable to stand the severe cold, but the doctors found that among the sick people, there were also a large number of people who were either rich or noble.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary wind and cold, even if it is carefully improved and experimented, it cannot cure the patient, and even, this disease like a volcanic eruption engulfs the patient at a very fast speed, and there are too many patients, and the hospital has no time to treat them, so they end their lives in pain.

And now it's winter, and many patients are lying outside the door of the infirmary, and they can't tell whether they are dying of illness or freezing to death, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that there are frozen bones on the road.

For a time, the death toll was in the thousands.

After Xiao Mingrui learned about it, he immediately dispatched the imperial doctor to form a special research and investigation team to help the folk medical center diagnose and treat the disease, and then to find the cause of the outbreak.

However, two fists are invincible to four hands, and the speed of salvation is far from catching up with the speed of death, and there are still people dying in large numbers.

The fear of death also invaded the hearts of the people, so those who were not sick but whose families were broken, and those who were sick and could not be treated, went to the palace gate to meditate and shout in protest.

But this move made more people fall in the ice and cold.

The situation is about to get worse.

Mama Gui also noticed that something was wrong, so she secretly went out to observe those patients, only to find that these sick people all had a common characteristic, and there was a smell of nothingness on their bodies.

The smell is not fragrant, but it doesn't stink, but it always smells weird.

Perhaps, this taste is the key to solving the puzzle, so Mama Gui directly took Linglong and started tinkering for a while, and finally found a major crux.

Dogwood.

The smell they smell on the patient is the smell of dogwood mixed with something.

Therefore, after Mama Gui inquired carefully all the way, she finally found the home of the person who still had the remaining dogwood in Chongyang at home, and used it for verification.

"Master, it's Wei Zi, right?"

"The thing stained on the dogwood, called ghost cardamom, comes from southern Xinjiang."

Mama Gui's face is also very unsightly.

Looking at the pile of blue ashes left behind after the dogwood was burned on the table, Ye Qingli couldn't help but have a headache, "This damn woman actually started to attack innocent people. ”

Linglong immediately burst into tears, "How can this woman be so hateful!" ”

"It's a man-made plague."

Mama Gui's expression was heavy, "We must find Wei Zi quickly, the poison of the ghost cardamom can be volatile, but it is not fatal, I suspect that the poison of this cardamom is also mixed with Gu by her, if that is the case, if only one person is still sick, the capital may become a ghost town." ”

In an instant, Ye Qingli thought of General Su.

That person died without warning as if a snowflake had melted, and suddenly Ye Qingli felt that he was not dead at all, but had just left the capital.

But Su Yu has always been immersed in pain, the General's Mansion is closed, and even the Chunfeng Building is directly lost to the bustard mother inside to manage.

"But we can't find her."

Ye Qingli's heart was full of anxiety, "She has been wanted in the rivers and lakes for so long, there is nothing she can do, and she seems to be good at disguise, her whereabouts are uncertain, even selling her body to bury her father changes her face every day, and her subordinates have been shaking her for more than half a month." ”
