When I left Liu Yi's room, it was already past midnight, and I helped him lie down and covered him with the quilt, and found that his face was so pale that there was almost no blood, and his breath was so weak that he could barely feel it.

When I walked out of the door cautiously, I saw that the man named "Ning Yuan" was still standing at the door, and when he saw me coming out, he immediately said, "Girl." ”

"Young Master Ning Yuan."

I also blessed him, and whispered: "I heard the adult just now, the son is the proud protégé of Lord Liu, and he has been following the adult's side, the slave maid wants to ask, today the prince is still saying that the adult has gotten a lot better, and he can kowtow to the emperor, but how does it look like the adult's body-"

Before I could finish speaking, the young man of Ning Yuan had already sighed and said, "This is also a piece of hard work for adults. ”

"What do you mean?"

"These days, the adults have been working hard to support, for the emperor to come to Yangzhou, since yesterday I have been taking forcibly refreshing medicine, just so that I can still see the emperor. But if you take those medicines, you will only drain the last of your energy. ”

"What?" I was taken aback: "Why would he do this?" ”

Speaking of this, Ning Yuan's eyes were a little red, and he choked for a moment before he said slowly: "The girl doesn't know, if the adult dies before he meets the emperor, it is 'assassination', and the dignified Yangzhou Mansion Yin died like this, and it is impossible for the court to give up; ”

“……”

I was speechless for a moment, but I felt a hot current in my heart, almost moistening my eyes.

Looking back at the dwilight room, hot tears almost burst out of my eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lord Liu Yi is still thinking about the people in the south until now, even if he is on the verge of death, he is not willing to lead the war to the south.

But. The people of the south really lost him!

I choked up and said, "Could it be that Lord Liu, there is really no way?" ”

Ning Yuan shook his head and said sadly: "The girl didn't see the tragic scene when the adult was assassinated, her whole body was covered with blood, and when she brought it back, the bedding of the entire bed was soaked, her heart was picked, and her throat was stabbed. ”

I closed my eyes and swallowed the tears.

Why? Why did such a good official still fall into such a fate?!

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Ning Yuan's son leaning down towards me and bowing: "Girl, what the adults ask for is the business of all the people in Jiangnan, and I hope the girl will be thoughtful." ”

I nodded and said softly, "I'll do my best." ”

"Lord Late Generation, thank you, girl."

After saying that, he slammed to the ground again.

I saluted him back, glanced back at Liu Yi's room, and turned around and left with tears in my eyes.

In the middle of the moon, it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see the road, so I walked forward in a daze. I don't know how long I walked, but there was a little more light in the darkness in front of me, and when I looked up, I found that I had somehow walked to the inner courtyard.

I stood there, staring inside in a daze.

At this moment, Father-in-law Yu walked over from the side and whispered, "Young girl, is there something?" ”

"Father-in-law Jade."

As soon as I saw him, although he was still in a trance, he also remembered that at this hour, everything should have a result, so he asked, "Your Majesty, is it inside?" ”

"Hmm."

"What about tonight, Miss Nangong—"

Father-in-law Yu glanced at me and shook his head.

Sure enough, he still didn't catch Nangong Lizhu after all, in fact, I guessed this ending at the beginning, Nangong Lizhu went south with a heavy responsibility, of course, he would not take his body lightly, even if he really appeared, there must be a perfect way to get out, of course, it was not so easy for him to catch.

It's just that he failed today, and I'm afraid he will be the same as he was at the beginning.

I thought for a moment and said, "Well, I-"

"Young girl, the emperor said that no one will come tonight, especially-" Father-in-law Yu glanced at me again, and his face showed a look of embarrassment: "Especially you." ”

“……”

"You can go back quickly."

For some reason, I didn't feel surprised, or even angry, but I looked up at the inner courtyard, and the faint light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness around me at any time, giving people the feeling that I couldn't even breathe.

Then, laughing softly.

Father-in-law Yu kept looking at me, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said at this time: "Young girl, this matter of the emperor's mind is not a day or two, it is not so easy. The days to come are still long, you always have a chance, don't say some things to death, the emperor can endure you once, but he can't bear it a second time. ”

It took me a while to realize that he was referring to the words I said when I turned Pei Yuanhao away from Fangcaotang.

I smiled softly again: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning this." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, the faint light behind him finally disappeared at his feet, in the darkness, I still stumbled back to my room, Shui Xiu had already fallen asleep, and I didn't wake anyone up, so I fell on the bed with my clothes.

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I saw Shui Xiu guarding me with teary eyes, and I was still a little confused, muttering, "What are you crying about?" ”

"Girl, are you alright?"

"What?"

I slowly got up from the bed, and I saw her frightened look: "I couldn't wake up when I saw you like this, and I thought you had an accident again." ”

I looked down at myself, and remembered that last night, I didn't seem to have fallen asleep, but rather fainted, and I was so caught in the darkness that I didn't even dream, no wonder it scared her like this.

So he sat up, pressed his temples that were a little swollen and aching on both sides, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I was just too tired last night." ”

"I heard that there were assassins last night, so I didn't hurt you."

"Silly girl, what are you and me, and the assassins will come to me?"

"Oh, it's fine."

Shui Xiu saw that I was really fine, so I put my mind at ease, and hurriedly served me to get up and freshen up, the breakfast sent by the state government was also rich, after the two of us ate, she cleaned up the table, I washed my hands and said, "Shui Xiu, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Well, girl, be careful."

She was really nervous, I smiled and agreed, and walked out, and before I took a few steps, I saw Pei Yuanfeng running over in a hurry, and when he saw me, he immediately said: "Qingying! ”

"Lord, morning."

“…… Early. ”

He looked at me as usual, a little unresponsive, stupidly agreed, and looked at me for a while before he said carefully: "Qingying, you-"

"What?"

"Are you alright?"

I laughed: "I slept well last night." ”

“…… Oh. ”

"I heard, didn't catch it?"

As soon as he heard me mention last night's incident, his whole body tightened again, looked at me nervously, and said, "Well, there are too many people, and Yu Linwei has no way at all, and the other party seems to have prepared a route to retreat, so he didn't catch up." ”

"I see." I nodded.

Pei Yuanfeng looked at me more and more strangely, as if he didn't know whether I was angry or happy, completely unpredictable, and slowly walked towards the garden outside with my footsteps, I glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine." I also want to ask the prince for one more thing. ”

He immediately said, "You want to meet the Assassins, don't you?" I've arranged it, and I can do it at any time—"

"No, I'm not trying to meet the Assassins, this matter can be slowed down."

"Then you're—"

I smiled and said, "When I went down to Yangzhou more than a year ago, I made a wish to the Bodhisattva, and today I want to go and make a vow, but you also know that my identity can't be messed around, can you help me, just half a day." ”

"Wish?" When he heard this, he immediately said happily: "Of course, I will accompany you!" ”

I looked at him with a smile: "Are you here to accompany me in Yangzhou?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think about it again, and suddenly his radiant face also dimmed.

I smiled and said, "You said that you have your own ambitions and ideals, so you should take this path well, and don't change your direction because of anyone, otherwise you may end up with nothing and ......."

I suddenly felt unable to say the rest of the words, because my voice was a little choked.

He looked at me and seemed to realize something: "Qingying? ”

I made a smile: "It's fine." Can I go? ”

"I can arrange it for you, but—"

Looking at his cautious appearance, I understood, and said with a smile: "Lord, if I really want to leave, let alone in Yangzhou, even if I was in the palace at the beginning, I am not without a chance." As I said, some things are big things, and I don't lose sight of priorities. ”

He looked at me for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go and arrange it for you." ”

Something like that happened last night, I also guessed that Pei Yuanhao couldn't calm down for a while, no one in the entire state capital dared to go to the inner courtyard, Pei Yuanfeng naturally became the head of the state capital, and he ordered those people to move quickly, and after a while, the carriage was already set, and he was waiting at the side door.

Not only did he have a carriage prepared, but two guards followed me from afar.

Thinking about this man who I always regarded as a child, in fact, he is really not a child anymore, but, in my heart, I will never forget the first time I met, he was childish and reckless.

Otherwise, I don't know what kind of person I should associate with.

The man was still a little stunned, but the coachman had carefully helped me into the carriage, and before lowering the curtain, he asked respectfully, "Girl, where are you going to make a wish?" ”

"Nishiyama, Momijiji Temple."
