"Su Yan, you wait for me outside, I'll go back as soon as I go, don't teach people to disturb easily." Shangguan Jingyu turned around and walked inside.

Su Yan was stunned, "Hey, is it safe?" ”

She nodded, smiling a little forcefully.

But before the matter was finally revealed, the no-makeup temperament was too reckless, and there might be some chaos at that time, so it was better for her to deal with it herself.

When Shangguan Jingyu entered, Du Li'er was resting.

There were few maids in this plum garden, and she glanced around, but she didn't find anyone on the side. Presumably, when Du Li'er was resting, she didn't want others to disturb her, so there was no maid to serve.

The door of the room has a faint smell of medicine, in the early years of the ghost doctor, Shangguan Jingyu was used to smelling the smell of medicine, so he felt that the smell of medicine was very comfortable. She stepped into the door, and Du Li'er on the bed opened her eyes.

"Who?" Du Li'er coughed lightly and sat up.

Shangguan Jingyu smiled, "Fifth aunt, it's me." ”

Du Li'er was stunned, "Ah Jing, why are you?" After thinking about it, he coughed lightly, "How did you get in?" ”

"As long as you want to enter, where can't you enter?" She replied plausibly, and walked slowly to the edge of the bed. Looking at Du Li'er's slightly pale face, her eyes were a little red and swollen as if she had cried, and she frowned slightly, "The fifth aunt's body has never improved. ”

"I've taken too much medicine, but I've always been like this. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for too long. Du Li'er smiled, with obvious desolation in her eyes. After a pause, she looked at Shangguan Jingyu gently, "Why did Ah Jing think of me?" But what difficulties did you encounter? ”

Shangguan Jingyu smiled, "The fifth aunt is so good-looking. ”

Du Li'er chuckled twice, and then shook her head, "You are wrong, there are so many women in the Prime Minister's Mansion, only your mother is the best-looking." ”

"My mother?" She was stunned.

Du Li'er nodded, "Don't you see, the people your father picked, are they all a little similar between their eyebrows?" ”

She shook her head.

Du Li'er smiled, "That's all according to your mother's appearance, slowly getting together like collecting antiques." Some have similar eyes, some have similar noses, and Twilight Rain looks the most like your mother. ”

Shangguan Jingyu didn't speak, and he didn't know why Du Li'er suddenly mentioned her mother.

She has never seen her mother.

Even, I haven't seen a portrait of my mother.

From beginning to end, my mother was like a mystery. She didn't even know her mother's name, her father and even the entire Prime Minister's Mansion were secretive about it, and Shangguan Jingyu couldn't find the slightest bit about her mother.

"It's me who talks too much." Du Li'er coughed a few times, lifted the futon and got off the bed, "You come here today, is there anything wrong?" ”

Shangguan Jingyu took a deep breath, glanced at Du Li'er, who was so weak, and then looked at her drooping sleeves, "The fifth aunt has not gone out in the Xiangfu Mansion?" ”

"I haven't been feeling well for the past few days, and I've been guarding the plum garden and haven't gone out. What's the matter, but what's going on? Du Li'er put on her shirt, "Your complexion is not very good, what happened?" ”

She smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just want to see if the fifth aunt's lotus pond is as elegant as Ah Jing imagined." ”

Hearing this, Du Li'er's face tightened, and then smiled, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

It was this fleeting consternation, but it was quickly captured by Shangguan Jingyu.

"Fifth aunt, why don't you take me to have a look, I don't know if I'm willing or not?" Her face was innocent, and her smile was like a warm sun.

In the end, it was difficult to excuse herself, Du Li'er got dressed, and led Shangguan Jingyu to the backyard.

There is a small pool in the backyard, which is delicate and small.

It's winter now, and the lotus flowers have long since withered, and after frost and snow, even the remnants of the lotus can no longer be seen. In the spring of the following year, the roots of the lotus root in the mud will sprout again, and in the summer there will be a pool of blue waves and lotus fragrance.

"There's nothing to see, there's just a pool of water now." When the wind blew, the water surface was rippling, causing Du Li'er to cough lightly. She hurriedly covered her lips and coughed lowly, so as not to lose her courtesy.

Shangguan Jingyu saw the injury at her tiger's mouth at a glance, "Why is the fifth aunt injured?" Before Du Li'er could react, she had already held Du Li'er's hand and saw the friction on her tiger's mouth clearly, "What's going on?" ”

Du Li'er hurriedly withdrew her hand, pretending to be okay and said with a smile, "I accidentally fell yesterday, and I bruised my hand, so I don't get in the way." ”

"The fifth aunt's health is not good, if she gets some external injuries in her body, how can she get it?" Shangguan Jingyu smiled, "It's also the maid next to the fifth aunt who is not worried, and even serving the master is so frizzy, and he actually teaches the fifth aunt to wrestle." ”

"It's not a big deal, you don't have to take it to heart. I'll take care of this little injury myself! Du Li'er coughed lightly, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and she looked like I was pitiful. Such weakness, such weakness, teaches people to be very protective at a glance.

Hearing this, Shangguan Jingyu smiled hoarsely, "The fifth aunt is really generous, if it were me, I am afraid that I would not give up so easily." Whoever hurts me, I will let whoever pays it back a hundred times, so that my identity is complete. ”

Du Li'er sighed lightly, "It's not easy for people to live for a lifetime, why bother so much? The maid is also a human being, and in the end, it is an unintentional mistake. If you care about it when you go back, you won't feel good about it. Instead of this, it is better to let others go, and you should also let go of yourself. ”

Shangguan Jingyu smiled, "Auntie's words are really very good, Ah Jing has been taught." ”

Hearing this, Du Li'er was stunned, as if she understood something, and looked at Shangguan Jingyu in disbelief. However, for a while, Du Li'er couldn't speak, and she didn't know how to speak.

But I could hear Shangguan Jingyu purse her lips and smile, "Dare to ask the fifth aunt, this lotus has passed season after season, but it is still the same?" ”

Du Li'er frowned and shook her head, "It's not the same every year. ”

"Since it is one year old and one withered, it can be regarded as the past life and this life, and it can also be the difference between the previous generation and this generation. Fifth aunt, don't you say? She tilted her head and smiled flawlessly, the sun falling, her eyelashes slightly raised, glowing with a charming rainbow of colors. She smiled like this and looked at Du Li'er, her transparent skin was like ice muscles and snow bones, which was enough to make people lose their eyes.

It was Du Li'er, who also looked out of her mind, and nodded in a daze.

Shangguan Jingyu said with a smile, "Since the fifth aunt also thinks so, then Ah Jing won't say much." It is true that as my aunt herself said, letting go of others is letting go of yourself. Rather than letting the past and making the people around you unhappy, it's better to let it go. Fifth aunt, what do you think? ”

Du Li'er didn't speak, just looked at her in a daze, and only whispered for a long time, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Ah Jing is just talking nonsense, looking at this pool full of gloom, and feeling it." Shangguan Jingyu sighed lightly, "The falling flowers and wind and rain hurt people's hearts, it is better to take pity on the people in front of you." No matter where you put it, it's the same thing. If you don't know how to cherish, someone will naturally know how to cherish. ”

"What...... Why don't you see the hibiscus beside you? Du Li'er finally asked.

She was relieved, and finally Du Li'er remembered that there was a hibiscus.

"I asked Fleur to go out on errands, and she won't be able to come back for a while." Shangguan Jingyu said, "I didn't think about it, the fifth aunt is also worried about Furui." ”

Du Li'er smiled bitterly, "It's just a casual question, and I don't have any other intentions." ”

Shangguan Jingyu also said, "I also said it casually, fifth aunt, don't take it to heart." ”

"Fleur ......" Du Li'er hesitated again, "Are you okay?" ”

"Go and do something for me, I was a little injured, and now I'm still raising outside. However...... "Shangguan Jingyu walked slowly by the lotus pond," it didn't hurt to tell the fifth aunt, Fu Hui fell off the cliff and almost died in Huangquan. At the place where she fell off the cliff, I found a rattan. The surface of the fracture mark was forcefully pulled off. At the top of the rattan, there were some blood stains, presumably someone wanted to drag the hibiscus up, but unfortunately it was unable to do so, and the rattan broke. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly turned around and stared at Du Li'er's pale face.

Du Li'er lowered her eyebrows, her eyes were a little dilated, as if with a little guilt, a little annoyance, and a little unknown sadness.

"What's wrong with Aunt Five? But what's uncomfortable? She asked.

Du Li'er suddenly came back to her senses, and subconsciously lowered her arms to hide the wound on the tiger's mouth. Lips trembled slightly, Du Li'er reluctantly pulled her lips and said, "It's okay, it's just that the sun is a little strong, and I don't feel very comfortable." ”

"Then I'll help the fifth aunt go back!" Shangguan Jingyu grabbed her arm.

Du Li'er did not refuse, let Shangguan Jingyu hold her, and slowly walked towards the room.

"And then?" Du Li'er asked.

"Later?" Shangguan Jingyu said, "Fu Hui is injured, but there is no major problem, but it takes time to recuperate. I guessed that the man was trying to drag the hibiscus up, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Where can you guess the outcome of things in this world? If it weren't for Fleur's fate, I'm afraid she would have died at this moment. ”

Du Li'er's hands became colder and colder, her face became more and more pale, and her black eyes looked a little frightened.

After carrying Du Li'er back to the room and sitting, Shangguan Jingyu poured a glass of water and handed it to Du Li'er, "Fifth aunt, do you think it's worth it if you take the life of the person you care about and exchange it for the life of the person you hate?" ”

Du Li'er's hand trembled, and the water in the teacup shook slightly, if she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

However, Shangguan Jingyu's eyes were very poisonous, and he never let go of the details.

"Isn't that the relatives and the enemies fast?" Du Li'er took a sip of water and gradually calmed down.

Shangguan Jingyu nodded, "I think so too." If it were me, I would definitely make the people I care about happier, otherwise even if I slaughter all the people in the world, what's the point? In the end, how can a lonely person face the pain of life and death? ”

Du Li'er took a deep breath, "Ah Jing, what do you want to say?" ”

"It's nothing, didn't I say it, let's take a look at the fifth aunt's lotus pond!" She got up with a smile, "The lotus root is still there, and it will bloom next year." But if it hurts the roots, I'm afraid of ......"

Shangguan Jingyu walked out slowly, "Fifth aunt, that's all you say, whether you understand it or not, this is the last time." She turned her face half sideways and looked at Du Li'er, who continued to cough behind her, "I think that Fu Hui is fine, but I can let go of everything, but if anyone dares to hurt her, I will not give up." Shangguan Jingyu, do what you say! ”

As the sound fell, she walked out of the room quickly.

Behind her, Du Li'er smiled bitterly and whispered, "There are many things in this world, and it's not that you can let go of them if you say so." It's like a lot of people in this world, you don't want them to die, but they still die. Shangguan Jingyu, how many people can you save? ”
