The night is pervasive, and the autumn wind at the end of September is coming, carrying the moist tide of the river waves, not in a hurry, but slightly suffocating cold.

The sparks on the embankment are faint, and this section is not in the bustling downtown area, but has entered the outskirts of the village.

The sound of pulp streaked across the water, thick and slow.

The woman standing on the railing on the deck, her brocade cloaked lightly, and the light fell on her face, illuminating a faint melancholy.

Although the people of the beautiful scenery stand here, they do not enjoy the leisure and elegance of the coastal scenery.

It was because of the fleet returning to Beijing that he arrived in Zhenjiang, Yu Feng accidentally contracted the cold, and was sick in the cabin at this time, although he was diagnosed and treated by a good doctor and had no major problems, but his light cough and dizziness that was difficult to hide every time, his pale complexion, and his gradually fading shoulder bones all made Yijing worried.

As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, Wei Ran suddenly happened to meet the King of Chu and his party, and Yi Jing immediately asked him to diagnose Yu Feng's pulse again, although he had just received Wei Ran's sentence "There is no big problem" and confirmed the diagnosis of the good doctor, Yu Feng also smiled and comforted, "They all said that it was okay, only because of the wind and cold, it will cause seasickness", Yi Jing still couldn't feel at ease.

At the beginning, Wei Ran escorted Yijing to the annex in Tongling Pass, and when he saw that the King of Chu arrived with him, he said goodbye and returned to Ninghai, this time he happened to meet the fleet of the King of Chu's Mansion in Xuzhou on the way to Kyoto, and docked at the port to replenish and eat, and greeted him like a general greeting, so he was invited to accompany by Yijing.

At that time, when he was hiding in the Jinyuan Princess's Mansion in Dajing, Xiliang, when Yi Jing and this clan brother naturally had no shortage of chatter, they learned that not only did Wei Xi learn the family medicine skills from the Rose Lady since he was a child, but Wei Ran also had the essence.

Wei Ran's expression just now did not hesitate, and he did not have the opportunity to "communicate" with Yu Feng in advance to use comforting words to reassure Yi Jing, but he just proposed to discuss something with Yu Feng, which already made Yi Jing suspicious.

She waited outside the cabin, not far away.

This time was not long, a moment later, I heard a door knock, and the wind lamp in front of the cabin was reflected in Wei Ran's eyes, and the hesitation that swept by made Yijing take a deep breath of the wet and cold air on the river, and the suffocation and heaviness were even more pressing.

"Because the prince was poisoned by the yin and cold when he was a child, his body was weaker than ordinary people, and after the cold, it caused vertigo, and the doctor's prescription was enough to restrain it, and the princess didn't need to worry too much." Wei Ran gently closed the hatch and walked over to stand on the edge of the railing, looking at the night that shrouded the four wilds from afar.

I can't ask anything more, Yijing can only comfort himself, everything is groundless, he will be fine, it will be like that.

But he asked: "What did the second brother discuss with Yuan Yang just now?" But it's inconvenient to tell me? ”

"I want to be a member."

Yijing raised his eyebrows, obviously suspicious.

"Ninghaiwei's family is not all people who are willing to be quiet, in the early years, because of the Wuyi League, had to give up entering the office, and accidentally got close to the prince, but let me look forward to the future officialdom and political situation, moreover, the ancestors founded the Wuyi League in the late years of the Eastern Ming Dynasty was helpless, Dalong established the country, the people recuperate, if the Jianghu dark faction continues to develop is always a hidden danger, I want to dismiss the Wuyi League, and only the prince has the ability to place many congregations, for Yulang and other hall masters, it will be helpful to the prince, and it is also a right way to integrate them into the Tianchawei, If you can find a career in the future, no matter how bad it is, you will settle down and start a business. ”

Seeing that Wei Ran said it so firmly and carefully, and even proposed to dismiss the Wuyi Alliance, Yi Jing no longer suspected that it was the reason he found casually.

"But the prince's opinion is that it is not an excellent time to enter the government at this time, and it is proposed that the matter of the Wuyi Alliance be postponed for the time being, but I can enter the palace first and take on the position of personal guard."

"Haven't you wronged the second brother?" Yi Jing's words were not flattery, she thought that Wei Ranzhi's ability to serve as a personal soldier was indeed condescending.

"If it were someone else, I would really be a little wronged, but I was willing to follow the prince." Wei Ran smiled, he saw that Yijing seemed to want to go back to the cabin, his eyes had already glanced at the cabin door several times, and suddenly changed the topic: "Can the princess want to know about the old things between me and Concubine Yang?" ”

Yijing was obviously stunned and puzzled.

During the period of Xiliang's "disaster avoidance", Yi Jing once told Wei Ran about the cause of Concubine Yang's death in 1510, although this matter was strictly banned by the first emperor back then, although Wei Ran inquired when he was in the state, Yi Jing did not explain, but now that things have changed, the first emperor has collapsed, and the prince and the princess are no longer alive, so the ban naturally does not need to be strictly followed.

But she didn't "gossip" about the old things between Wei Ran and Concubine Yang, and it was inevitable to be puzzled when she mentioned him for no reason at this time.

However, at the beginning, she was also curious about how Concubine Yang, as the daughter of the eunuch, could get acquainted with Wei Ran, a chivalrous man, and also get Wei Ran to teach martial arts, proving that getting along is not ten days and a half months, it should be a very long time, but after knowing that Wei Ran is the son of the Ninghai Wei family, Yijing no longer feels that it is a fuss, and the Ninghai Wei family is also a famous family, if the two families are good, it is not surprising that the children have known each other since childhood.

"Concubine Yang's mother and my mother were friends in the boudoir, so we also have a childhood friendship, and later, Lord Yang wanted to send her daughter to the East Palace, Concubine Yang was reluctant at first, and even begged me to take her away from home, she also knew that Ning Haiwei's family style was not as good as ordinary eunuchs, thinking that I could give her a life as she wanted, I promised at the time, I didn't want to see her being used by the family, and I was depressed for a lifetime, I thought, I can bear her life, give her peace and quiet."

Wei Ran said to himself, I don't know if he thought of the youthful time, the corners of his lips stretched, and the light flickered in the depths of his eyes.

"Later, she returned to Beijing with her family, and I had already taken over the leader of the Wuyi Alliance at that time, and I also secretly followed, planning to rescue her once the Yang family wanted to force her into the palace, but later, I ...... When she met the prince, she changed her mind and volunteered to enter the palace. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Ran stopped, he didn't know much about what happened later, but the beautiful scenery was clearer.

But Yijing still didn't understand why Wei Ran talked about the old things, and he didn't know how to evaluate it, so he was only silent in solitude.

Wei Ran sighed secretly, his eyes still in the far suburbs.

He wanted to hint to her that the loss of some people and things may make you grief for a while, but after a long time, there will always be a day when you will be calm.

There is no wound that time cannot heal, so even if you are grieving, don't push yourself into a corner.

Just like many years ago, he couldn't even recall the woman who danced with a sword under the smoke and willows in the south of the Yangtze River, but after many years, he suddenly heard the news of her death and determined that she was self-defeating, but he didn't have the grief he imagined, only regret for her.

But his hint obviously failed, because Wei Ran suddenly felt that the key words were stuck on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't say anything.

So he just smiled lightly: "I just want to thank the princess for bringing Concubine Yang's last words to me, so that I know that she regretted it." ”

When he turned sideways, he saw that the princess was still puzzled, and as if he didn't want to ask more, he accepted his explanation, bowed his head, and turned to push open the hatch.

Thinking of Yu Feng's entrustment just now, Wei Ran frowned heavily.

His wish was unfounded, and he had a hunch that he would not be able to complete that mission.

The candlelight in the cabin was brighter than outside, and it was easy to see the gently raised eyebrows of the man reclining on the couch, not lying on his back, but closing his eyes, and when she put a slight step about to approach, he immediately noticed that when he opened his eyes, his pale face was lined with dark lacquer, and what oozed was a softness.

He raised his hand and spread his palm to her.

The candle flame illuminated his palm prints long and clear.

Her palm was released, and he immediately snapped it tightly.

He moved in, out of the place where she was sitting, and then gently wrapped her hand around her waist.

"I'm much better." Yu Feng looked at the melancholy look on his wife's eyebrows, and quietly smoothed her eyebrows with his gaze.

She unconsciously buried her face in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, peaceful and quiet, through the shallow temperature of her clothes, and gradually settled down.

She was too timid to carry out her suspicions, to touch the unsettling speculations.

The kiss fell on his chest through his shirt, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

——

Approaching Kyoto, the weather is getting colder and colder, but Yu Feng's body is really slowly improving, although Yijing resolutely does not allow him to go to the deck to enjoy the scenery, and even sits by the window does not approve, but seeing that his face has a bloody color, sometimes although he can't help coughing lightly, it is not as short as that, and his appetite has improved, and he is no longer bothered by vertigo, he can stand firmly in the cabin, and even have the energy to play, and his heart that has been hanging for many days is slowly relaxed.

The prince expressed his deep nostalgia for this real first trip with his wife, but he could not enjoy the scenery along the way.

On the way back, Miss Ziruo also fell ill, but of course the princess did not bother the princess about this matter.

Miss Ziruo naturally returned to Beijing smoothly, but she did have a lot of brains.

In the end, she is a talented woman, and she is regarded by Qin Xiang as a major force in the struggle for power and revitalization of the family, and it is impossible for Miss Qin to use stupid tricks, such as directly asking the prince to intercede, implying that the princess has the heart to exclude such unseemly tactics as she will certainly not use them.

She pleaded directly with the princess.

claimed that although she was abandoned by the family, but her mother Mrs. Qin has always been very concerned about her, if it were not for her mother to come forward and beg the palace to take her in, she could only end up adrift, yes, Ziruo girl cried bitterly to express her concern for her mother, hoping that the princess would be sympathetic and take her back to Beijing to meet Mrs. Qin.

Although Ziruo admired the prince, he also thought that the princess had encountered an accident...... Fortunately, the princess returned safely, Ziruo also knew that the prince had a heavy oath, and only wanted to be the princess as his wife for the rest of his life, and he really didn't dare to conceive his intentions again, although the prince and the princess were kind, seeing that the prince was lonely and helpless, he was kind enough to take in, but Ziruo did not want to accept the favor in vain, and could not repay it, and in the future, he would only be a slave and a maid, and he did not ask to be able to serve the prince and the princess, but he was willing to serve the old princess well, and it could be regarded as repaying the kindness of the two containments. ”

When Miss Qin said this, she was frank and frank, of course, she was playing sloppy with the princess, she could be sure that the Su family would return safely, and the Son of Heaven would definitely refuse to let the King of Chu go to the domain, and she would definitely stay in Jinyang in the future, so she asked herself to stay in Beijing, claiming that she would never interfere with the normal life of Yu Feng and his wife, and on the surface, she consciously avoided suspicion, and when Zhen Bing Qingyu did what she said, the princess had no reason to refuse, and insisted on putting her in Chuzhou.

If this is the case, it will inevitably seem unkind and difficult, which will violate the meaning of the prince's "courtesy", and will always cause gossip to breed.

If Qin Zi thinks that the Su family is also a smart person, he knows that it is a trap, and he is bound to get around.

It's best to really put her in front of the old princess, the old princess is such a foolish person, of course Qin Ziruo is sure to "woo".

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, as long as you can return to Jinyang, you can achieve your goal.

Naturally, Yijing will not be "unkind", and agrees casually.

Qin Ziruo's heart was full of joy, she originally thought that she would be in the same boat with the king of Chu and his wife, but when she boarded the boat at Lanjiang River that day, she was ready to follow.

was stopped by Chundui, and asked Miss Qin to be invited to the boat where the stewards who had a good face in the back.

Qin Ziruo felt aggrieved, and deliberately raised his voice, saying that he wanted to express his gratitude to the princess first.

Yijing and Yu Feng were in front of them, so they naturally heard it.

So the princess confessed to Qiushuang and said: "The girl doesn't have to take it to heart, the princess should know the girl's decision, although the girl is very wronged for the maid, but the prince said, the girl is bent on self-reliance, if the princess is polite, it makes the girl difficult to feel at ease, the girl was born and raised in Jinyang, and it is not so suitable to stay in Chuzhou, so that the girl will return with her, if the girl wants to see Mrs. Qin in the future, she only needs to explain, and the stewards must arrange it, the girl does not need to thank her, the girl abandons the family and succumbs to the maid, and the princess wants to make an exception to take care of it, It can be regarded as the friendship of the boudoir. ”

Qin Ziruo was dumbfounded and speechless - the Su clan really dared to treat her as a slave!

But he could only watch the prince and the princess join hands and board the ship with the support of everyone, without even looking back.

got angry, and didn't rest for a few days, as soon as he got on the boat, Qin Ziruo fell ill.

Although the slave and maid were not sick enough to alarm the medical officer, but the Yijing family has always been lenient, since she took charge of the feed, the palace servants have absolutely no reason to fend for themselves, and they are on the road, it is inconvenient to ask for a doctor, so they still arranged a good doctor to diagnose the pulse.

The good doctor is rejuvenating his hands, Ziruo's illness has not become a lingering trend, she is just right, and Mama Xie came, claiming that the princess instructed that in the future, Miss Qin will still be on an errand in the needlework room: "Since the son wants to support himself, the princess is unwilling to refute, lest you be uneasy, but the palace is not as strict as Chuzhou, the rules are very strict, you are a second-class maid, if there are maids waiting around you will not comply with the rules of the house, the princess specially ordered the old slave to guide the rules first." ”

So along the way, Qin Ziruo had to accept Mama Xie's advice.

She was naturally resentful in her heart, but if she wanted to be a slave and a servant, she would export it herself, how could she regret it? Miss Qin almost didn't bite a mouthful of silver teeth into scum - Su Shi will see, there will always be a day when you are unlucky!

Ziruo girl has no preferential treatment, and it is no longer possible to live alone across the courtyard, and the place waiting for her to live is the subordinate room of the Xianwang Mansion.
