Seeing Jin Xun looking at herself inexplicably, Song Yixiao didn't mean to explain to her, only said, "Take the wound medicine left by the doctor!" ”

When she saw that the doctor had changed his clothes and the bleeding from the wound had stopped hastily, she would say that she had to change the dressing.

Jin Xun hurriedly went outside to explain to the little maid to make a basin of hot water, and when he went back to the house to wait for the water, he looked at Song Yixiao's still pale face, and said distressedly: "It's a big loss to grandma, this wound is only the size of a grain of rice, and it won't leave a scar if you think about it - that big steward is simply crazy!" ”

He also said, "Grandma's colored dishes are not delicious before the injury is healed, so she has to be light, otherwise there will be traces after the scab." ”

Song Yixiao is in a very depressed mood now, and she just doesn't speak.

Jin Xun didn't notice it at first, but after talking for a while, he realized it, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to her side: "I think it's water!" ”

Who knew that Jin Xun stood up, but the door was pushed open first, and the neatly dressed Jian Xubai strode in.

On this day, the moonlight was not bad, and the mercury flowed all over the court, dyeing the originally dim lights under the corridor with a frosty color.

Jian Xubai was wearing a plate-collared shirt with a dark embroidered moire on a stone blue background, a gold-crowned hosta, and brocade boots, and when he crossed the threshold, the cold moonlight slid down from him like a tide, and covered the corridor with regret - the candle flame in the room illuminated his slightly frowning brows, and his eyes were deeper than any moment in the past.

"You go down first!" When he entered the inner room, he first looked at his wife, but the words were directed towards Jinxun.

Jinfu, who had always been afraid of him, said timidly: "Grandma wants to change the medicine given by the doctor, and the slave maid sent someone to fetch water, but this will not come yet." ”

Before the words fell, there was another sound of footsteps in the court, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old girl panting and running up to the cloister, and when she saw that the door was not closed, she hurriedly lowered her steps: "The water is coming." ”

"I'll change the medicine, and you all go down." Jian Xubai motioned for Jin Xun to go out and get the water, and then asked her to retreat again.

When the doors inside and outside were closed, he rolled up his sleeves, first scooped up some water and washed his hands outside the basin, then wet the silk handkerchief, took it to the couch, and wiped off the original medicinal powder little by little - Song Yixiao's wound had formed a thin layer of blood scabs, like a little cinnabar embedded in the snow neck, looking at it in the tent, not only did not destroy her appearance at all, but had a different style.

It's just that the silence of the two of them makes the room uncharming.

"Be careful these two days, don't get wet." Jian Xubai changed the medicine for her, threw the wet handkerchief back into the basin, took another handkerchief from the shelf to dry her hands, and stood in place for a while before turning around and admonishing softly.

Song Yi smiled and responded lightly: "You have to go to court tomorrow, go to bed early." ”

"I'm going to take a day off tomorrow." She would sit on the couch, the half-rolled gauze tent hung down a little, and from the position of Jian Xubai, she could only see half of her face, as if she had listened to his words, and the originally lightly pursed ryoshi lips were slightly hooked, and at this time, how to look at it like a mockery.

Jian Xubai lowered his eyes to hide the complicated color, and continued, "Although your injury is not serious, but you have seen blood in the end, you should take care of it before going out." Ping'an'er and her second sister-in-law's birthday, as well as the marriage of the Sikong family, I don't think I have to go to these three things, what do you think? ”

"That's what I thought too." Song Yixiao's tone was flat, "But next month, the third brother is still the master, and it is not good to be absent from such a major event." ”

"It should be all right by then." Jian said in a humble way, "If not, after all, your body will still be the most important!" ”

Song Yixiao bowed slightly, and said, "If there is nothing else, settle it!" ”

Jian Xubai obviously had something to say, but seeing that she had already opened the brocade quilt and lay down, the hands in her sleeves tightened and tightened, and finally she didn't say anything, walked to the hanger, and raised her hand to widen her clothes.

Both of them slept restlessly that night.

The moonlight shone in from the window, Qing Lingling's was like water and frost, and the red brocade was illuminated into a heavy purple, which was intense when it entered the eye, and like dried blood stains, revealing bleakness and strangeness.

Song Yixiao unconsciously looked up after turning over, but saw Jian Xubai, who was sleeping outside, lying on his side, surrounded by a circle of bright silver edges outlined by the moonlight, but his face was hidden in the dark, and he couldn't see clearly in the chaos - only a pair of phoenix eyes were bright and looking at her calmly.

I don't know, how long has he been watching like this?

Song Yixiao looked at him for a moment, and after retracting her gaze, this idea came to mind, but she cut it off, pulled up the quilt, and turned it over again.

It wasn't until almost dawn that she fell asleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, the red sun was already hanging high, my side was empty, and there was no warmth to the touch, obviously Jian Xubai had already gotten up.

Song Yixiao sat up, put on her middle coat, and called in the maid to wait, and when she saw that the one who came in was still Jinxun, she wanted to ask Wei Chan and Qiaoqin. Jin Xun wrung a hot handkerchief and handed it to her, and said, "Doctor Fang Cai went to see it, and said that he smoked a little too much incense, and he might have to sleep until late afternoon before he could get up." ”

He added, "Miss Cousin has caught a cold, but the doctor has already prescribed medicine, so if you want to drink it, you will be fine." ”

Song Yixiao heard that she was a little dissatisfied with Wei Chan in her tone - after all, as far as Jin Xun knew, she couldn't help but feel that if Wei Chan couldn't think about it, she wouldn't have injured her master, so how could she not have an opinion on this cousin?

"Last night's incident, in fact, my cousin was wronged, she didn't want to die before she came to me, but now that the matter is solved, it is even more impossible to throw herself into the lake!" Song Yixiao knew that Jin Xun was his confidant in marriage, if he expressed his dislike for Wei Chan, it would be difficult for the people under him not to snub the Jiang Xing Pavilion, and he couldn't help but explain a few words, "It's very likely that she was actually thrown down - otherwise it's so late, how could other things trick me into going to the Jiang Xing Pavilion?" ”

Jin Xun was stunned when he heard this, and then hated: "The chief steward is simply not human!" ”

"Although the chief steward does harbor evil intentions, isn't he also calculated this time?" Song Yixiao heard this but didn't say anything, only sneered secretly in his heart, "No wonder after the marriage date between Princess Changxing and Jian Yiyu was confirmed, I guessed that the chief steward was in a hurry to ask for someone, and it had something to do with this matter-it is said that he had always supported me in dealing with the chief steward's group before, why did he say that after hearing me say this, he came to say that he had his own opinion and told me not to worry?!" ”

At that time, she was only angry, and she didn't notice the contradiction between Jian Xubai's attitude before and after.

Only then did he come to his senses: I'm afraid that Jian Xubai didn't intend to let go of the big steward from the beginning!

But Jian Yiyu is his brother in the end, and he is the eldest son of the second room of the Jian family, Jian Xubai has already inherited the title of Duke of Yan Guo over his father, if he refuses to give even hundreds of subordinates to his brother, how can Jian Pingyu and other elders agree?

Even the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom would not support him in doing this, otherwise how could she personally open her mouth for Jian Yi?

"What's more, if you don't hand over people, there is also a problem about how to deal with these people - these people have been trained by their grandfather for many years, and they have never regarded Jian Xubai as the real master, and now that my grandfather is still alive, how difficult is it for Jian Xubai to subdue them?"

"I can't accept it, if I continue to stay in the house, I don't have to worry if I don't use it well! Send it out, maybe you will secretly do things for Jian Yiyu! ”

So, "only - kill!" ”

But even if Jian Xubai is a prince of the country, and wants to kill so many servants at once, and many of them are old servants, he has to weigh it!

At the very least, find a reasonable excuse!

For example, kidnapping and assassinating the main mother.

"So he must marry a girl from a low background, in fact, it's not just about 'high merit and master'!" Song Yixiao caressed the scabbed wound in her throat, and the winter sun shone in from between the window lattices and sprinkled on her, which was very warm and comfortable.

But her heart was cold, "It is also considered that if the rescue arranged is not timely, he will really be killed or seriously injured by the desperate chief steward, and his mother's family will not dare to make trouble with him!" ”

The most typical candidate is like her: she is both talented and beautiful, she has a reason to marry highly, and she will not arouse suspicion if she marries; Daddy is selfish, no matter how miserable the situation is, no elder is willing to stalk her.

"No wonder he said at the beginning, whether I want to or not, he is married anyway!" Song Yixiao looked at the spirit snake bun that was combed up little by little under the skillful hands of Jin Xun in the mirror, and suddenly felt disheartened, "It is true that as my mother said, this imperial capital is up and down, and there are more boudoir ladies who are not tall and can look at their eyes-but the boudoir ladies who have been raised by brocade clothes and jade food, but no one has to support me to this point, I'm afraid it's just me, right?" ”

How much in line with the simple plan?

How could he let go?

It's ridiculous that these days, I still think that the two of them are really gradually in love!

"On the wedding night, he endured his anger and did not slam the door, and tried every means to give me dignity in front of people, in the final analysis, not to help me establish my prestige among the subordinates, but - to deceive the chief steward of them!"

"Otherwise, how could the chief steward think it would be useful to hold me hostage?"

It's not just for the big steward, "but also for last night's cleaning!" ”

After all, as a good husband, when he avenges his "beloved" wife, it is understandable to be ruthless and angry!

"He's really played a long game of chess, and it's ridiculous to think about how to deal with these people and how to prove my abilities to him?" The spirit snake bun was combed, Jin Xun opened the brocade box full of hairpin rings, and asked Song Yixiao to choose, but she couldn't pick one for a long time, she only looked at the full eyes in a daze and thought, "He never needed my ability, he just needed the identity of a wife!" ”

She thought that the little boy who was distressed by his father's neglect six years ago no matter how much he transformed in the tempering of time and beacon smoke, he would have a good situation after all.

But no matter how innocent the soul is, how can it resist the infiltration of wealth and power?

What's more, her intersection with Jian Xubai six years ago was only a few faces-Song Yi laughed until today to know that she actually didn't know her husband at all, whether it was temperament or power methods.

"Let's use this pair!" She bowed her head and chose a hairpin, blinking the water in her eyes: When she was in Hengshan Palace, no matter how difficult it was, there was still hope of getting married.

Can now?

"After all, people walk the way!" A pair of begonia bead hairpins were inserted between the sideburns, and Jin Xun took a step back, indicating that the grooming was completed. Song Yixiao stood up, opened her arms, and asked her to help her put on her coat, looking at the lifelike plum blossoms on the ethereal shirt, the self-deprecation in her eyes gradually turned into perseverance, "What is the good situation when my mother is tortured by her grandmother in every way because she has no children?" But now it's not a princess?! ”

"This time the chief steward is dead, and the others probably won't be able to escape!"

"The manpower in the house must be replenished, but I hope that Jian Xubai will not break his promise!"

"Even if you paste the dowry upside down, you have to run the backyard well!"

"In any case, I have at my disposal the !! that is truly loyal to me and available"

"—Never repeat the mistakes of the past life!!"

She looked down and saw that Jin Xun had already arranged her skirt, and was about to ask about the situation in the house today, but Li Yu hurriedly ran in with her skirt: "Grandma! Someone from the Ministry of Rites came to preach the message, and the Tao is your decree sealed! ”
