Facing Shui Qingqing, who had disappeared for a day and couldn't give a reasonable explanation, Li You felt angry, not only angrily reprimanded Bai Haoqing, but also looked at Shui Qingqing with an indifferent face, and sneered coldly: "This palace knows that you once proposed to the queen mother to withdraw from the marriage, and this palace also knows that you belong to someone else in your heart, so, seeing that the marriage is coming, you have made all these tricks to force this palace to withdraw from the marriage?!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Haoqing's face immediately turned pale, and his cold and waveless expression instantly became flustered.

Without waiting for Shui Qingqing to speak, Bai Xiang hurriedly turned white, and said in a panic: "Your Highness Mingjian, the little girl personally agreed to this marriage in front of His Majesty, how could she want to withdraw from the marriage." I said it to the queen before...... It's because she is hesitant in her heart, afraid that she is not worthy of His Royal Highness......"

And the red sleeves who were waiting on the side secretly smiled smugly after listening to Li You's words.

Although Shui Qingqing has no love for Li You, she does not hate him, on the contrary, looking at his previous love for her mother, she is grateful to him in her heart.

And thinking of what she was going to do next, she owed him even more in her heart......

Looking at his injured description, Shui Qingqing didn't dare to imagine what kind of blow and deception would he have if he knew in the future that there was a Yun'er in his past......

So, she didn't want to perpetuate the mistake until everything could be saved.

She raised her eyes and quietly looked at Li You, who had a sad face, and said indifferently: "Since Niangniang recruited me into the palace, there are some things that I will personally state clearly to Niangniang - I'm sorry for annoying Your Highness!"

After that, she turned back to the red sleeves who came to pick her up from the palace and said, "Please ask Aunt Red Sleeves to wait for me for a while, and I will go back to the house to change new clothes and then follow my aunt into the palace."

Hearing her words, Li You was slightly stunned, but Bai Haoqing's heart sank down-

According to his understanding of Shui Qingqing, Yun'er is fine now, and she has nothing to worry about, but she is afraid that she will mention the divorce again.

But now, it's about to be the wedding period, how can Bai Haoqing finally climb the wealth, how can it be like this? !

On the way back to the house, Bai Haoqing and Shui Qingqing rode in the same carriage and said coldly: "At this time, you can't go to see the queen, let alone make extraneous branches and give birth to other things......

"The queen summoned me personally, can I not see it?"

"What do you want to do when you meet the Queen? Divorce?! ”

Bai Haoqing also knew that the queen summoned her, not to shirk it if she wanted to, but he was afraid that Shui Qingqing would mention the divorce again, so he couldn't help but say coldly: "The marriage given by the Son of Heaven is the grace of your personal thanks, and you can't be allowed to go back on your word, let alone withdraw from the marriage if you want to." So, you should dispel such thoughts as soon as possible! ”

Shui Qingqing ran around all day, and was already exhausted, and said weakly: "Doesn't Bai Xiang think this is too unfair to His Royal Highness?" With his status, he could have married a better wife......"

"Then have you ever wondered if it is fair to your mother?!"

Bai Haoqing's deep eyes flashed with an astonishing light in the dim carriage, and he said in a cold tone: "This marriage was bought by your mother for the tragic fate of her life. If you are abandoned like this, are you worthy of your dead mother? ”

Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled.

Bai Haoqing looked at her steadily, and said slowly, word by word: "If you want to avenge your mother, you can't defeat Empress Chen without power." And it is precisely because of the repentance that Queen Chen made to your mother that she framed your mother, and if you withdraw from the marriage, it will be as she wishes. Didn't your mother die in vain? ”

Bai Haoqing had already seen through Shui Qingqing's thoughts, and said slowly: "My father knows that you can't let go of Mei Zijin, but now that he has been married by the saint, he is still married to a royal princess. At that time, he will make a mistake in his marriage to Princess Leyi for your sake, and he must be the one who suffers in the end - can you bear it? ”

Bai Haoqing's words, every sentence hit Shui Qingqing's weakness, which made her thoughts and courage shattered again......

Back in Baifu, Red Sleeves was courteously led by Yao to the flower hall to drink tea and rest, and Shui Qingqing returned to the main courtyard to be served by the maid to bathe and change clothes.

When Shui Qingqing changed into her dress and came to the bronze mirror to make up, she looked at the things on the dressing table, and her whole body trembled suddenly.

The next moment, she excused herself from dizziness to rest for a while, drove all the maids who were waiting in the house out of the main courtyard, and hurried to the lower room in the backyard.

Standing in front of the door of the innermost room, Shui Qingqing's heart jumped rapidly, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally pushed the door open.

There was no light in the house, and the cold moonlight mottled the ground with illusory dream shadows, and the cold room was silent.

On the simple pit bed in front of the window, Nameless was lying quietly on his back, covered in blood, as if he had no trace of anger, and he didn't even move when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Shui Qingqing stepped into the room, and her nose was filled with the smell of blood.

Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly lit the lamp and candle and came to the kang to inspect the injuries on Nameless's body.

The faint light shone on the nameless pale and blood-lossing cold face, making Shui Qingqing's whole body tremble violently!

Although she already knew that he was Mei Zijin's twin brother before, and knew that the faces of the two were exactly the same, she was still shocked when she really saw his face.

This eyebrow is really exactly the same as Mei Zijin!

It's just that due to excessive blood loss and the fact that he hasn't seen the sun all year round, his face is even paler than Mei Zijin.

Shui Qingqing thought that he would go back to the blacksmith shop in Suzaku Alley, but he didn't expect that he would actually return to Baifu, to her courtyard, and to return the rouge box taken from her to her dressing table.

With mixed feelings in his heart, Shui Qingqing carefully probed his snort, and finally felt relieved.

He's alive!

However, the breath that erupted from his nose was hot, Shui Qingqing was startled, and probed his forehead with his hand, only to find that he was having a high fever.

Nameless was seriously injured and rained, and the wound became inflamed and caused a high fever.

Shui Qingqing's heart tightened, and she hurriedly called hot water to help him wipe the blood stains on his face, and then put a hot towel on his forehead to feed him water.

Nameless burned in a daze, felt a cool liquid flowing in between his lips, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide with difficulty, and his uncomfortable body couldn't help but lean towards the coolness.

As he turned sideways, Shui Qingqing saw the shocking wound on his back, his hand shook, and the cup in his hand was almost unable to hold it.

He was...... It's so badly injured?!

When she heard Liu Yin say it before, her heart was already shaken, and now she saw him suffer such an injury in order to save herself and Yun'er, Shui Qingqing was even more distressed while grateful.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shui Qingqing turned around and went to her room to find clean gauze, then found trauma medicine, returned to the nameless room, didn't care about the blood stains all over his body, helped him clean up the wounds, applied the wound medicine again, and used gauze to help him bandage.

Nameless is tall, and the wound is on the back of the waist, Shui Qingqing wants to help him tie the gauze, but he can't move him at all, so he has to climb onto the kang and use all his strength to help him up and sit up, so that the gauze can be bandaged around the front waist......

Nameless, who drank the water, gradually gained a trace of consciousness, and when Shui Qingqing helped him deal with the wound, the wound was stimulated by the trauma medicine, and the pain became severe, so that his body couldn't help but tremble gently, and he couldn't sit steadily, his body leaned weakly on Shui Qingqing's body, his hot forehead lay on her shoulder, and he muttered dreamily in his mouth, and the description on his face was full of grief!

At first, Shui Qingqing, who was concentrating on wrapping gauze for him, didn't hear what he said clearly, and it wasn't until she felt that her shoulders were wet with hot tears that she heard the words in his mouth.

“…… I'm not a monster, I'm not a scourge, I'm not...... Don't kill me......"

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry, Qingqing ......"

With a pain in his heart, Shui Qingqing helped him to lie down on his side carefully, and choked with a hard throat: "I don't blame you, you don't feel sorry for me...... I owe you my life......"

As if hearing her words, Nameless's frowning brows relaxed, and he muttered, "...... Don't leave me...... I have nothing left...... Not even hatred is gone......"

Shui Qingqing was slightly stunned, helped him change the towel on his forehead, fed him half a bowl of water, covered the quilt for him, and probed his forehead, which was still very hot.

With a nameless appearance, how can Shui Qingqing rest assured that he is here alone, but the red sleeves outside are still waiting for her to enter the palace, what should she do?

The next moment, Shui Qingqing got up and was about to leave, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by Nameless.

The deep eyes opened with difficulty, and the nameless eyes looked at Shui Qingqing in a daze, and muttered a sentence: "Don't leave me...... Don't leave me alone......"

Nameless reached out to pull Shui Qingqing, and the palm that had been holding tightly finally let go, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground.

Shui Qingqing bent down to pick it up and took a look, but it was a small severed finger, and she looked stunned!

Liu Yin told her before that on the day of his fifth birthday, Nameless personally cut off his sixth finger in order to let his parents accept him......

Don't...... Is this the severed finger that caused Nameless Misery and grieved him for twenty-four years!?

More distress surged in her heart, Shui Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at the nameless who was in a coma, but also full of grief and helplessness, and her heart became sour.

Shui Qingqing understands the loneliness and pity in Nameless's heart, because, when her adoptive father died, she hid alone in the dilapidated cave, and like Nameless now, in addition to grief and helplessness in her heart, she also felt deeply lonely and afraid, as if she was abandoned by the whole world, and between heaven and earth, she was left alone to survive......

She put away her severed finger, and comforted him in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you get the medicine, and I'll be back in a while......"

Hearing her words, Nameless slowly let go of her hand, closed her eyes weakly, and fell into a deep sleep......

Shui Qingqing returned to her room, took off her clothes without hesitation, and soaked her body into the bath bucket that had already cooled, until she felt the cold bones all over her body, and couldn't stop shivering, she crawled out of the bathtub and put on her clothes again.

Just finished everything, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, Shui Qingqing went to open the door with a pale face, but it was the red sleeves who came to the door.

The red-sleeved eyes cooled everything on her, and said: "The county lord is ready, it's already the end of the day, and the mother is still waiting for the county lord."

Shui Qingqing held her forehead with both hands and wrinkled her eyebrows uncomfortably and said, "I'm really sorry, it's raining today, and it's estimated that the wind is cold, and my head is very dizzy."

After that, he instructed the maid of Baifu who followed in: "Go and tell my father and ask him to help me call the house doctor."

The maid got her order, and hurriedly ran out to tell Bai Haoqing.

Hearing that she was sick, Red Sleeves' face sank, his eyes looked at her steadily, and he smiled without a smile: "The county lord was fashionable and good when he returned to the mansion before, why did he suddenly say that he was sick." Actually, it doesn't matter, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and they are very ...... than the palace doctors in the palace."

Shui Qingqing said guiltily: "There are many cold winds and colds in spring, and I didn't think that the symptoms would suddenly get up...... I also want to go to the palace to accompany my mother, but I'm afraid that if I get sick and give my mother a bad ...... It's better to let the house doctor take a look first, if it's not serious, I'll follow my aunt into the palace ......"

Hearing her say this, Red Sleeves didn't say anything, just looked at her with cold eyes, trying to see what tricks she was playing.

Bai Haoqing was not worried about letting Shui Qingqing enter the palace to see Queen Chen at this time, so after listening to the maid's words, he immediately reflected in his heart, and called the palace doctor to rush to the main courtyard, and he had already ordered everything to the palace doctor along the way.

Therefore, after the house doctor helped Shui Qingqing to check the pulse, he told Bai Haoqing and Red Sleeves with a solemn face that Shui Qingqing was cold and should not go out to meet guests again, for fear of passing it on to others.

After listening to the words of the house doctor, Red Sleeves and his face were half dark, Bai Haoqing personally put a silver ticket into Red Sleeves' hand, and said guiltily: "Thanks to Niangniang's attention, it's a pity that the little girl was frightened today, and she caught the wind and cold, entering the palace at this time will only cause trouble to Niangniang, it is better to wait for her to get better, and Weichen will personally send her into the palace to apologize to Niangniang."

In fact, Empress Chen didn't really want to see Shui Qingqing, she deliberately went to the White Mansion to ask for someone after learning that Shui Qingqing was missing, so as to find Shui Qingqing's mistake and use the topic to play.

Therefore, Red Sleeves looked at the large-denomination silver ticket in his hand and no longer insisted.

But she won't let go of what should be asked.

Red Sleeves picked up the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Even in the palace, Niangniang has always been concerned about the county lord, today's matter, Niangniang will definitely ask the slave and maid about it - the county lord, if the Niangniang asks where you went today, why are you frightened and cold, how can the slave and maid tell the maid?"

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but have red eyes, and said with a sad expression: "Before my mother died, I promised to make wine for my mother. Unfortunately, my mother left without drinking my wine...... I thought about brewing new wine for my deceased mother before I got married, and I happened to leave the house today, so I went to the wine shop on Long Street to drink, because the wine I prepared last time was ...... I was spilled by my sister Bai Lingwei......"

The last time she pressed Bai Lingwei to pour wine, the whole Bai Mansion knew about it, so she was not afraid of Red Sleeves asking.

"I went to the liquor store to buy wine, and suddenly it rained heavily, so I stayed in the liquor store to take shelter from the rain, and when I thought of my mother, I felt so sad that I couldn't help but drink a few more sips, and I fell asleep in the liquor store drunk...... It may have been at that time that I caught the wind and cold, and after I just came back to bathe, the cold came out, and I found that my head was dizzy and my body was very uncomfortable......"

After listening to her explanation, Red Sleeves was skeptical, but Bai Haoqing on the side breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and even Yao's hanging heart was quietly put down.

Because she invited Shui Qingqing to go out today, she got motion sickness halfway through, but she didn't personally escort her back, so she disappeared.

Bai Haoqing had scolded her several times before, she was afraid that she would just be in charge, and she would lose the right to be in charge of the family because of this incident.

After Shui Qingqing finished speaking, she said solemnly: "When my health is better tomorrow, I will enter the palace and personally ask my mother for guilt."

In this way, Red Sleeves didn't want to say anything, and took people to leave Baifu and go back to the palace to resume his life.

After the red sleeves left, Bai Hao looked at Shui Qingqing with clear eyes, and said, "Why did you figure it out again, don't you go to see the queen mother?!"

From the moment Shui Qingqing did not directly recruit the government doctor to see a doctor, but asked the maid to notify herself first, Bai Haoqing understood that her illness was fake, and it was true that she wanted to push her into the palace to see Queen Chen.

Shui Qingqing said coldly: "Queen Chen suddenly wants to take me into the palace so late, I'm afraid that someone will tell her about my disappearance today." So, knowing that she didn't really want to see me, why did I bother to perfunctory her. ”

"Then you ...... tomorrow"

"I'm 'sick' now, and when I enter the palace tomorrow, she won't be able to embarrass me anymore, and I'm very easy to deal with."

Hearing Shui Qingqing's words, Bai Haoqing's eyes lit up, he didn't know what Shui Qingqing had done, he was worried about being seriously ill, and he wanted to find a way to stay and take care of him. I just think that it is very good that she can have such a scheming, and she can't help but smile with satisfaction: "It is worthy of my Bai Haoqing's daughter, who understands people's minds very thoroughly - in this way, by getting sick, you only need to deal with her tomorrow, and you are not afraid of being framed by her." And the Third Highness is much easier to deal with. ”

However, Bai Haoqing was also puzzled in her heart, where did she go today?

Now that there was no one else in the house, Bai Haoqing said in a deep voice, "Where did you go today?" I don't believe what you just said—did you go to Yun'er? ”

Thinking of Yun'er, Shui Qingqing thought of Bai Haoqing poisoning him, hatred surged in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Since Bai Xiang knows, why bother asking?" If it weren't for you, why would I need to look for Yun'er everywhere to make so many things happen today! ”

Bai Haoqing looked at her suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "You really went to Yun'er?!" And what about the nameless guard? I haven't seen him for a day today, and I also asked His Royal Highness the Third Highness, yesterday, he didn't go back to the Third Prince's Mansion. ”

Shui Qingqing was afraid that he would find out that Nameless would be seriously injured in the backyard now, so he hurriedly pressed the panic in his heart, so he calmed down and said: "Nameless was sent by me to the capital to look for Aunt Pian at the bottom of the cliff of Beiyuan Mountain-he has seen Aunt Pian's appearance, and he is also very familiar with the terrain there, so it is the most suitable."

Bai Xiang said coldly: "Since you sent him out of the city, why did you lie to me yesterday?"

Shui Qingqing hooked her lips and laughed mockingly: "Because there are no secrets in the White Mansion - I don't want the queen to know that I am looking for Aunt Pian."

Thinking that her disappearance was known to Empress Chen today, Bai Haoqing didn't want to say anything, but he finally believed her words.

Looking at her tired and pale face, Bai Haoqing told her to get up and leave after resting well.

Shui Qingqing stopped him and said, "You ask the house doctor to bring me the medicine to reduce fever and cold."

Bai Haoqing was taken aback, couldn't help but reach out to probe her forehead, and said in surprise: "Are you really sick?"

Shui Qingqing, who had taken a cold bath, was indeed a little dizzy, and her forehead was slightly hot. She blocked Bai Haoqing's outstretched hand, and said in disgust: "Naturally, do a full set of plays, don't forget Bai Xiang, our Baifu has Queen Chen's eyeliner, if I don't do anything, I'm afraid it will arouse Queen Chen's suspicion." Therefore, no medicine can be missing - let the government doctor quickly boil it and send it over. ”

Bai Haoqing felt that she was reasonable, and as long as she was willing to marry and no longer thought about getting out of the marriage, let alone boiling medicine, even if he was asked to cut his blood to make medicine, he would agree.

Therefore, soon the doctor boiled the medicine and sent it over in person.

Shui Qingqing asked the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles for herself, and then drove out all the servants in the main courtyard as usual, locked the courtyard door, and brought the medicine and noodles into the nameless room together.

Because Shui Qingqing helped him with medicine to bandage his wound before, and also drank water to compress his forehead, and when she went in with the medicine and noodles, Nameless had woken up and lay quietly on his side on the kang.

When he woke up, if it weren't for the gauze bandaged around his waist, the tea placed next to him, and the faint mint fragrance left on her body in the room, Nameless would have thought it was a dream he had......

Although his body was still uncomfortable, his nameless and lonely heart seemed to be injected with a sweet spring, infiltrating his lonely heart little by little, making his heart as hard as iron softened......

Therefore, when she saw Shui Qingqing coming in again, Nameless's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but think of the cruel and heartless words she had said to her in the attic before, and even more so when she thought of herself as a flood beast, holding her child and running away from her in fear and despair, she felt that she had no face to see her again......

With a faint pain in his heart, he didn't know how to face Shui Qingqing's namelessness, so he closed his eyes in a panic and pretended to be asleep.

There was a strong smell of medicine in his nose. The next moment, he felt her soft palm fall on his forehead. He heard her sigh softly, and a spoon was brought to his lips......

She's feeding herself medicine.

The bitter liquid slowly flowed into his mouth, and he couldn't feel a trace of bitterness......

In the next breath, he finally pretended that he couldn't go on, and opened his eyes with difficulty, just in time for her clear and bright eyes.

The moment they looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

This is the first time that the two of them have met without revealing their true faces, so panic flashed in Nameless's deep eyes.

Shui Qingqing smiled happily and said with relief: "It's good for you to wake up, wait for the medicine to drink, and then eat Shou noodles - today is your birthday."

Hearing this, Nameless was slightly stunned, only to realize that there was still a bowl of noodles in her hand.

Seeing that Nameless was stunned and didn't move the chopsticks for a long time, Shui Qingqing took another pair of chopsticks, took out some noodles from the nameless bowl and put them into her bowl, and said with a smile: "I'll eat Shou noodles with you."

In the backyard of the blacksmith shop before, Liu Yin prepared birthday noodles for Nameless, but before he could take a bite, a subsequent accident occurred.

And every year's birthday is also the most painful and tragic day for Nameless, because from the day he was born, he was doomed to a tragic fate, and it will remind him of the pain of his broken hand back then.

Therefore, he originally wanted to persuade Shui Qingqing to leave with Yun'er, but in the end, because of the grief and resentment in his heart, what he said was all cruel and ruthless......

But now, with her by his side and eating Shou Mian with him, the missing emptiness in Nameless's heart is no longer so empty......

In the end, he took the chopsticks handed over by Shui Qingqing, lowered his head and ate silently......

Outside the window, I don't know when there was a figure standing, looking at everything in the room for a moment with deep eyes, my heart was sour, but I was reluctant to leave for a long time......
