The carriage creaked slowly on the yellow sandy dirt road, and after driving for most of the day, Jiang Liu was already very tired and sleepy, too bumpy, and it was too difficult to sleep, so he was extremely tired.

"Gege, who are you going to see?" She asked a little complainingly about the silence leaning aside, and was turned pale but silent Meili. Just came back from the paddock, Gege didn't have a good rest, and had to rush to Xiaoling early in the morning, she thought that it was a good thing to serve Gege to travel, but she didn't expect to suffer so much!

"An older brother." Meili's eyes wandered.

"Oh-" Jiang Liu nodded, relative, right? Gege has been locked up in the cold palace for so long, and he can't see any relatives, and it's normal for him to rush to visit when he comes out.

Even if I tried to speed it up, it took me two days to reach my destination. After a long bumpy journey, Meili felt sore and weak. She leaned on the carriage and looked out at this desolate and quiet scene. There is still work going on not far away, and the sound of stone drilling and piling echoes in my ears, and I feel even more desolate and bleak.

A few soldiers standing outside the stone wall looked at her and came up to interrogate, Meili quickly gave Jiang Liu a look, stuffed them with silver, and they were satisfied to agree to report for her. Meili took a closer look at this courtyard, unlike those gorgeous buildings in the imperial mausoleum, the courtyard was all built of bluestone, solid and simple, and it was obviously used by the soldiers guarding the mausoleum.

"Go in, go in, Lord Belle will let you in." A soldier came out of the second gate, staring at her a little ambiguously, and smiling.

Meili didn't have time to care about this, and walked quickly into the inner courtyard.

The soldiers on duty along the way showed her the way, and she was led to a house in the corner of the compound, and as soon as she approached the door of the small courtyard, she saw Cheng Yi sitting under the tree. He heard footsteps, and sat still against the trunk of the tree, only to glance at her absently.

"Brother Chengyi!" She was stunned after she screamed, and she didn't know how she recognized him as the handsome and high-spirited Lord Belle two years ago.

Cheng Yi looked at her, expressionless, speechless, neither sad nor surprised.

Meili's eyes stinged, and his arrow killed Sister Ziqing, why not shoot himself.

She took a deep breath to prevent herself from showing sadness and compassion, and made sure that the tears that welled up in her eyes had receded, so she gently walked over to him and sat down, gossiping and saying, "Brother Chengyi, I was released, come and see you." ”

Jiang Liu was afraid of this thin and cold man, although he was so beautiful, the dead air emanating from his body made her creepy. She stumbled to the door, not daring to approach.

Cheng Yi nodded, and finally had something to say.

"Is there water? I'm thirsty all the way. Meili forced a smile.

"Inside." Cheng Yi glanced at it.

Miri got up and walked into his room. The rooms were simply furnished and too neatly tidy to be kept as if no one had ever lived here.

The tea set was placed on the table near the bedside, and when she went to pour water, she inadvertently glanced at the bed, and found that the bedding was extremely thin, and she couldn't help but walk over and touch it, and sure enough, as she expected, although the sheets were neat, they were damp, and they had obviously not been dried for a long time. The people stationed here are all big men, and Brother Cheng Yi has lost his power again, even if someone serves and cleans, he will not be too dedicated.

This situation...... She understands it too well.

Hurriedly called Jiang Liu to come and drink a few sips of water, sent her to ask the soldiers outside for a long rope, and took advantage of the warm midday sun to quickly dry the bedding for Brother Cheng Yi. The smell of a damp quilt covering your body...... She still shuddered when she thought about it.

Cheng Yi stared at the two girls going in and out of his room, drying the bedding one by one, although he frowned and disagreed, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Liu was busy for a while, and she was too tired to work, so Meili asked Cheng Yi and arranged for her to rest in the small room. She found a wooden stick in the yard and gently patted the quilt pads on the rope one by one, both to remove the dust and make the cotton fluffier and softer.

Cheng Yi looked at her silently, a light pity flashed in his eyes, how did she become like this...... He knows. Delicate and willful like her, how did she survive such a long time?

"Master, walk well, be careful of the steps!" A courteous voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, which was particularly clear in the silent afternoon.

Meili looked up and saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader groveling and leading Jing Xuan in. She stopped her hand in a daze, and he was also glancing at her coldly, Meili lowered her eyes, blessed her body, and continued to pat the futon.

God always likes to joke with her, what can she do but let it go?

"The emperor asked me to take you to the Fengtai camp." She heard Jing Xuan say to Cheng Yi.

"Okay." Cheng Yi was silent for a while before agreeing, and the person slowly stood up. "Going to war?" His tone did not fluctuate, he was not excited, he was not curious, a battle with Dzungaria was inevitable, it was only a matter of time.

"It probably won't be in the near future, but we have to start formal preparations." Jing Xuan seemed a little irritable.

"Water!" He commanded coldly, and although Meili had her back to him, she knew that she was saying this to her.

She nodded, indicating that she heard, walked back to the room and poured two glasses of water and brought them out, all morning, Brother Cheng Yi sat there in a daze, the sun was shining, and he should be thirsty.

There was no tray in the room, she walked out cautiously with a teacup in one hand, handed a cup to Cheng Yi first, and held it to Jing Xuan with both hands.

Cheng Yi saw it in his eyes, his brows furrowed very quickly, and Meili ...... Finally gave up.

Jing Xuan took the teacup with a cold face and drank it dry.

Meili smiled and asked, "Do you still drink?" "Polite but sparse.

Jing Xuan didn't answer, and threw the teacup back to her.

Meili didn't blame him for being rude, quietly waited for Cheng Yi to finish drinking the water, took away the cups together, took them to the well platform, skillfully beat a bucket of water, and cleaned it carefully. They were whispering some political affairs, she didn't want to listen, washed the cups, and threw Chengyi behind the door without a job, and the soldiers didn't have time to take out the change of clothes to wash.

She carefully smoothed the garment and dried it on a long rope so that it would be smooth when it dried. Wiping the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, she inadvertently turned around only to find that the two men had long stopped talking, and both looked at her thoughtfully.

She was a little embarrassed at first, and then smiled indifferently, they didn't expect her to be able to do such a job, right? Life has taught her more than they ever imagined! In the cold palace, she will even be reluctant to finish the work at once, and she will cherish anything that can help her kill time. In the summer, she would be bored to wash the sheets and quilts every other day, and her bedding was almost torn by her.

In fact, she hadn't seen Cheng Yi for two years, and it was weird to wash his clothes without seeing him, but when she saw the pile of clothes, she habitually picked them up and washed them, and she was still very down-to-earth, she had something to do.

Jing Xuan's two entourages walked into the courtyard, "Master, what do you want to use for dinner, the minions have to prepare in advance, there is nothing in the deserted village and wild shop here." ”

Jing Xuan was a little impatient, "Whatever, what to eat, leave early tomorrow morning, there is no need to mobilize the people." ”

The attendants bowed their heads and took orders, and stood outside the courtyard waiting for the dispatch. It was almost evening, the horn of dinner was blown in the camp, and Jiang Liu also slept full, helping the soldiers who delivered the food to set up the food and cloth.

Jing Xuan's bodyguards frowned at the crude food on the stone table, very embarrassed, exchanged glances, and one of them walked out quickly.

Meili sat down next to Cheng Yi, three dishes and one soup, although rough, enough to satisfy her stomach, at least better than her food in the Hall of Tranquility. He...... Naturally, she couldn't swallow it, but she was already used to such coarse tea and light rice. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and gave Cheng Yi a bowl of rice, Jing Xuan ...... There will be his food, haven't his subordinates already gone to Zhang Luo to prepare it?

"What do you do?" Jing Xuan suddenly shouted coldly.

Meili shook, but found that he was staring at Jiang Liu with a calm face, "Are you the master, or is she the master?!" The majestic and cold tone scared Jiang Liu into tears.

"Gege...... It's better for me to come......" Jiang Liu snatched the chopsticks in her hand in a panic, choked and shouted for help.

Meili smiled apologetically and bitterly, she was used to doing it herself, but in his opinion, she was a bully, he and she saw it...... It's never the same thing.

"Give me a bowl too!" He ordered Jiang Liu to make a move, and the little girl's courage was already frightened by him.

Cheng Yi sandwiched a piece of scrambled eggs and put them in Meili's bowl, Meili smiled at him, and each of them ate in a muffled voice, staying alone for a long time, and eating was naturally silent.

Jing Xuan sandwiched a green vegetable, which was not cut at all, it was fried, more like cooked. He put it in his mouth, there was no taste, and he frowned. Cheng Yi ...... And her, eating such food for the past two years? He calmly looked at the two people opposite him who didn't find the food unpalatable, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Jing Xuan's entourage asked the two soldiers to come back with a tray, and in one tray was a meal specially prepared for him, although the style was monotonous, it was obviously attentive and quite fragrant, and there was even a bowl of braised elbow. There were two jars of wine on the other plate, Cheng Yi threw down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up one jar and poured it.

Meili also put down the bowl and said politely, "I'm done." Then he got up and went to collect the bedding that was drying.

Jiang Liu peeked at the newly placed food on the stone table but no one cared about it, and wanted to eat it, but was frightened by Jing Xuan's cold face. He suddenly fell off the bowl, and Jiang Liu was so frightened that he jumped up from the stool and ran to Meili's side, hoping to hide under her skirt. Meili smiled and shook her head soothingly while accepting the quilt, obviously not affected by Jing Xuan's inexplicable anger.

"Take it! Pull it down! He suddenly shouted at his entourage in a rage, "Get out of here!" “

The two attendants put their hot faces on their buttocks, trembling and urging the soldiers who were already trembling to quickly withdraw the food that was served behind.
