Before the prince finished speaking, Qi Zhengxiu's brows furrowed: "From Ji, I'm worried that the north of the Huai River has been secretly outflanked by the Zhou army." I hadn't left Tanggou Ridge that day. has already been ambushed, and the military strength of the Zhou people is definitely quite a lot-" Qi Zhengxiu was seriously injured at the beginning of the day, and he said a little breathlessly.

The prince interrupted, "Impossible. Since you were ambushed, in the past few days, I have specially sent people to erect a fence in the tidal flats north of Haozhou City to dredge the silted moat, which is definitely a good barrier, and the Zhou people can't get through. You have a good rest. Do not worry. ”

Qi Zhengxiu waved his hand weakly, looked at the prince's pre-battle excitement, and finally said nothing. The two armies are at war and have a plan. If there is providence, let it be!

The wound on Xiao Tao's arm was treated too hastily, and blood kept oozing when she went back. At first, Xiao Tao didn't care, but wrapped it tightly in a tightly woven cloth. Dizzy and groggy and don't want to move. After lying in bed for two days, the eldest lady ordered to come down, and the tonic decoction was not less, but the body was not as good as day by day. The wound festered and opened, Xiao Tao began to have a fever, and the person was also confused.

At first, I thought it was just that I was lazy because I lost too much blood, but on the fifth day, I saw that Xiao Tao began to swing hot and cold, so I got anxious, so I didn't want to trouble the imperial doctor in the barracks, so I had to send someone to Haozhou City to invite Langzhong. Took medication. But it didn't work very well. Xiao Tao's whole body was suddenly so cold that her bones hurt, and suddenly it was so hot that she was like roasting on the stove, and she was so uncomfortable that she hit her head against the wall. There was no one around to take care of it, and occasionally Ruosu freed his hand to feed the medicine, and Xiao Tao saw someone around him. Pulling Ruosu's arm, he wailed and cried out in pain, and when he was tired, he called "mother" with tears in his eyes.

Looking at Xiao Tao's tormented appearance, Ruosu didn't feel that she wiped her tears. But the eldest lady ordered them not to talk nonsense, otherwise she really wanted to arrest someone to talk about it. It turns out that there is still this kind of sin in this world, and I can't bear to look at it.

After changing three Langzhong, tossing for more than ten days, it was not until finally changed to an old Langzhong from other places that Xiao Tao gradually improved. But my whole body seems to be cramped, and no matter what I do, I am soft and weak. I also get dizzy when I walk for a long time. Lang Zhong instructed not to let the wound get dipped in water, and Xiao Tao had to use his other hand to twist a towel to wipe his face every day. I didn't dare to take a bath for half a month. Sometimes I frown when I smell it.

Seeing that Xiao Tao was good, she began to serve the eldest lady again. The eldest lady went out more often than before. Xiao Tao's body has not healed yet, and when the eldest lady goes out, she is usually accompanied by Ruosu, and Xiao Tao stays in the other courtyard.

On this day, the eldest lady took Ruosu out again, and Xiao Tao heard that she was going to send snacks to Qi Gongzi. In the past few days, the Tang army began to counterattack the vortex, and successively sent three rapid battalions. The crown prince and the prince of Qi waited for the battle report in the camp every day, adjusting the military strength at any time. Qi Gongzi was busy, so the eldest lady went to take care of it more diligently.

The eldest lady just went out for a while, Yun Niang was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and when she saw Xiao Tao, she immediately greeted her like a savior, and handed Xiao Tao a food box in her hand: "Ruosu ran in a hurry like a chicken just now, and the snacks were all wrong." If the eldest lady is preserved rouge, this Ruosu took the leftover red bean cake from last night. Hurry up and send it over. It's not good to let Qi Gongzi laugh at them when it's late. ”

Xiao Tao took the food box and walked out quickly to chase the eldest lady. I usually don't feel it in the yard, the dirt road is bumpy when I go out, and Xiao Tao's heels are straight and soft, and in the end it is still not as good as before. Xiao Tao walked quickly, but she never saw the eldest lady and Ruosu, and after walking for half an hour, not only did she not catch up with the eldest lady, but she chased after Qi Gongzi's camp.

The soldiers on guard also knew Xiao Tao, and let her in without further questioning. Xiao Tao walked to the door of Qi Gongzi's tent, looked at the eldest lady and Qi Gongzi in the tent, and didn't know whether they were looking at a word or a painting spread out on the table, the two stood side by side, the eldest lady's body leaned slightly against Qi Gongzi, the corners of Qi Gongzi's lips were raised, and his face was gentle. It's really a beautiful couple. Xiao Tao looked at it, and her heart suddenly became sour.

Yun Sheng poured tea from outside and came in, and when he saw Xiao Tao at the door, he was a little excited, and his voice was a little louder: "Xiao Tao? You're here. What are you doing these days? ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly put her finger to her lips: "Shh-" But it was too late, and Qi Gongzi raised his head when he heard the voice. He and Xiao Tao, but a few feet away, the sun slanted on Xiao Tao's body, and a gold edge appeared. shows the curvy figure of the woman. Qi Zhengxiu actually had a kind of trance like a world away, and his heart suddenly twitched. I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and sometimes I ask on the side, and the eldest lady always says that she can't leave the courtyard because she still has something to do. What can happen? She just didn't want to see him.

Since shooting Zhao Kuangyi by the river, he knows that she has changed, and the girl who used to like to follow her secretly and hold an umbrella for him on tiptoe will no longer be there. But can she really be so ruthless? It's so easy for you to survive the rest of your life, and you can no longer look at it? A woman's heart-Qi Zhengxiu's expression was a little colder. The state of Dahua died.

Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu and the eldest lady and raised their heads, Qi Gongzi's complexion was much better, she couldn't help but want to go in and take a closer look to see how he was recovering, but as soon as she stepped forward, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and the smell on her body was strange. Unconsciously blushing, he stuffed the food box in his hand into Yun Sheng's hand, and said in a low voice: "Miss took the wrong food box when she came out, please give this to Miss." After speaking, without waiting for Yun Sheng's reaction, he ran out quickly.

Yun Sheng frowned inexplicably, how could this little peach, as if he had been bitten, escape so quickly. Qi Zhengxiu looked at Xiao Tao's figure running away, the ice in her eyes was heavier, she didn't even bother to look at herself? Very good!

"Kosuke?" The eldest lady looked at Qi Zhengxiu's expression and called softly.

Qi Zhengxiu came back to his senses, and his face returned to gentleness. Yun Sheng came over with the food box and said, "Xiao Tao, oh no, Tao Yi said that Miss's food box was taken by mistake." Yun Sheng was also corrected by Ruo Su several times before changing his words.

Taoyi, this name stabbed Qi Zhengxiu a little earache. A nameless fire flickered up, and uncharacteristically couldn't help but say to the eldest lady: "Zhitang, I have a lot of things here recently, and the prince and I may go to the front of the camp in a few days." There are some things to be cleaned up, and Yun Sheng can't be busy alone. I want to borrow a maid from you to help you with one or two, okay? ”

The eldest lady's heart skipped a beat, and then she said, "Ruosu is very good." Hands and feet are nimble. ”

The eldest lady's quick reaction made Qi Zhengxiu stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel that he was a little abrupt. Yun Sheng saw Qi Zhengxiu's eyebrows frowning slightly, and hurriedly said, "Can Taoyi come?" I met Taoyi early, so I could let her help more. ”

Qi Zhengxiu hooked the corners of his lips and looked at the eldest lady fixedly: "What do you say?" The tone was indisputably hard.

It was the first time for the eldest lady to see Qi Zhengxiu like this, and she couldn't help but nodded: "Okay." Then let's go for it. Although the words came out, they became full of thoughts.

The eldest lady stayed for another stick of incense, and hurried back to the other courtyard. Ordered his subordinates to call Xiao Tao to the house.

Xiao Tao came in, and only the eldest lady in the room was leaning on the couch and lost her mind, Yun Niang and Ruosu were not around, so she asked, "Miss is looking for Taoyi?" ”

The eldest lady came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Tao and smiled slightly, and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Xiao Tao and the eldest lady were also formal, so they sat on the low stool beside the eldest lady. The eldest lady picked up Xiao Tao's arm and looked at it carefully, sighed and said, "I still have a scar." Try some more plasters, maybe in a year and a half, you can go down. Girls have scars, and they don't look good after all. ”

Xiao Tao nodded yes. The eldest lady took out a hairpin box from the side of the collapse, opened it and took out a jasper concubine bracelet, picked up Xiao Tao's hand, and put it in. The bracelet was very wide, just enough to cover Xiao Tao's scar, and the eldest lady smiled and nodded: "In this way, it will be impossible to prevent trouble." ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly pulled the bracelet down and hurriedly said, "Miss, this can't be done." The bracelet is too valuable. Taoyi is just a servant girl, how can she bear it? ”

The eldest lady pressed Xiao Tao's hand, looked at her deeply and said, "I never saw you as just a maid. With your righteous deeds to Qi Gongzi, you can also bear this bracelet. ”

Xiao Tao paused, savoring the meaning of the eldest lady's words, it seemed that the eldest lady was thanking herself for Qi Gongzi. What he did to Qi Gongzi doesn't need anyone to thank him, only for his own heart. But the reality is so strange, the eldest lady can thank herself for him openly. Xiao Tao said in a low voice: "Miss is serious. ”

"Nope." The eldest lady took Xiao Tao's hand and said softly, "I just hope that this matter will end here." All right? ”

Xiao Tao was stunned, so far, what is the eldest lady referring to? The eldest lady looked at her softly and gently squeezed her hand: "The prince and the eldest brother both think that it is my blood that is used to make medicine." I've wronged you. If you hadn't helped me, I would have fainted and everything would have been over. Xiao Tao looked up at Miss, looked down at the bracelet, and finally understood. A chill from the heart to the limbs to the cold hands and feet.

The eldest lady's words are really very reasonable. She helped the eldest lady, not Qi Gongzi. She is the maid of the eldest lady, it is natural to help the eldest lady, what qualifications does she have, what reason does she have to help the eldest lady's future husband? This is how it was. Xiao Tao's heart was a little gloomy, and she whispered, "Tao Yi knows." ”

The eldest lady's expression was also a little gloomy, looking at the swaying trees outside the window, and only after a while did she say: "Taoyi, there are many ways to live. To be a concubine in the Houmen embroidery household, it is better to find the right person and be a wife more comfortable. If I leave the cabinet in the future, even if it is Yun Niang, I will not take it with me, so as not to delay you. If you fight with me, I won't treat you badly. ”

Xiao Tao was stunned.
