Seeing my face suddenly change and cold sweat rolling down my forehead, Liu Qinghan looked at my eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "Childe, do you remember the Iron Mask King?" ”

"Of course I do." His face froze, and he immediately said, "But after the accident on Tianquan Island before, he and his big ship disappeared. Why did the young lady suddenly mention him? ”

"If my guess is correct, he should be ready to go to Shengjing to save people now."

"Saving people?"

"Save Huang Ye."

"Huang Tianba?!"

Liu Qinghan's eyes suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Did he tell you that he was going?" ”

"He didn't say it explicitly, but he did."

As I spoke, I looked up at him.

He may not have as deep a understanding of the relationship between the Iron Mask King, Huang Tianba, and the Queen Mother as I do, but he holds an important position in the court, and he has mastered so many joints, so he must have heard of these things. If the Iron Mask King wants to go to Shengjing to save Huang Tianba, this is definitely not as simple as saving people.

This is widely implicated, and it will even affect the occurrence of many major events, and will also affect the fate of many people.

At this moment, I saw that the wrinkles in his eyebrows became deeper, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case-

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

We both closed our mouths vigilantly, turned our heads to look, but saw a middle-aged lady carrying a food box, smiling from the outside walked in, as soon as she saw us, immediately said in a rough voice: "Childe, Miss, why don't you sit if you want to talk?" I brought some refreshments to the two of you, don't dislike them, sit and chat while eating. ”

After speaking, he walked to the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, opened the lid of the box, and brought out the refreshments one by one.

Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other.

This time, Xiao Yusheng and they came to Yangzhou, except for some personal guards, they didn't bring maids over at all, so even some of my daily living matters were taken care of by Rue Xiang, where did this woman come from?

I thought and turned my head to look at Liu Qinghan.

He stood still and didn't move, and he was used to being an official, and when something happened, unless he thoroughly figured it out, he wouldn't open his mouth lightly, or even use his hands; Second, I'm embarrassed, after all, the other party is a woman. Seeing that the woman had finished arranging her things by herself, she smiled and saluted us, and walked out on her own. I frowned, leaned slightly to look outside, and saw that the woman had gone out, and before the door was closed, she was standing in the doorway and whispering something to a person outside.

If you look closely, the person turned out to be Ruexiang!

She cautiously lay in the doorway, looking inside us.

Seeing her probe her brain, with a worried and happy look, I looked back at Liu Qinghan and immediately understood what was coming.

But Liu Qinghan just put his hands behind his back and looked at the delicate and delicious snacks on the table, but he didn't mean to walk over and sit down.

He glanced back at me, both of them were silent, but not for a long time, he said softly: "Miss has just come back from Jinling, I heard that the body is a little weak, it is true that it should not take too long, let's go over and sit down and eat something." ”

I stood still, looking at him.

"I'm out of company first."

“……”

After speaking, he didn't wait for me to speak, nor did he wait for any possibility for himself to change his attitude, turned around and left without looking back.

The courtyard was so small that I could clearly see him walk back to his snowy cave-like room, slowly close the two doors, and then it was quiet.

At this time, I clearly heard Rue Xiang outside the door so anxious that she almost stomped her feet, and said secretly, "What's the matter?" How did they—"

I sighed and smiled faintly.

Walking over slowly, I saw the refreshments on the table, compared to the ones I had used in the past, it was indeed not exquisite, but the simple fragrance still made people feel very comfortable, I stood by the stone table, picked up a piece of wooden cake and took a bite, the strong osmanthus flavor bloomed on the tip of the tongue, as if there were countless osmanthus fragrances floating around me.

A cool breeze swept the fragrance and drifted away.

It's cool, it's autumn.

For the next half a day, I didn't see Liu Qinghan again.

He seemed to have taken root in that room, but every time he passed by, he didn't hear any noise in the thin wooden doors and windows, and he seemed to stay in that room silently, blending into the cold snow cave.

The next morning, Rue Xiang came early in the morning to take care of me and got up, and I decided not to talk about yesterday's events, but she was a little anxious, and looked at my faint face in the mirror several times, and stopped talking.

I had breakfast with her, and it was also the porridge she prepared, and the variety was extraordinarily rich, and I said with a smile while eating: "You come over to accompany me every day, what about Gou Er, isn't he angry?" ”

"He dares!"

Rue Xiang immediately said, after speaking, she couldn't hold back a smile, and said: "He doesn't have time to care about me, now he is handling the transportation of goods in the embroidery workshop, and he is busy with several people." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, with him, I also saved a lot of heart."

I smiled as she smiled faintly and blushed her cheeks.

People often say that poor couples mourn everything, but in fact, it is not as simple as being poor, even if they are poor, as long as they work hard, there is hope; As long as people live in hope, they are actually more fulfilling and satisfying than living rich and extravagant.

Gou Er is now willing to be a serious person and do things, and he can get back millions of taels of silver than him, and he can also make his wife happy and satisfied.

I smiled and said, "I'm happy for you to see you like this." ”

Rue Xiang's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, but when she came back to her senses, she looked at my still pale face and said, "What about you?" ”

"Me?"

I raised my head slightly, looked at the way she wanted to say something, and smiled and said, "I don't think it's bad like this." ”

"What?"

"It's okay now."

Ruexiang's brows were twisted into a pimple, and she was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside, and she seemed very calm step by step, and then the footsteps stopped at the door, and there was a very soft knock on the door.

Rue and I both fell silent.

I asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

His deep voice came from outside the door.

Rue's eyes suddenly became twice as big as before.

I almost saw a flower bloom on her face, her eyes were full of joy and joy, and she almost couldn't stop laughing, and reached out to grab my arm: "It's the third brother, the third brother's voice!" ”

"May I come in?"

He asked softly outside.

Before I could speak in a hurry, Rue Xiang couldn't wait to grab my arm and nodded: "Let him in, let him in!" ”

I don't know why, looking at her so happy and eager look, it is obviously a very funny thing, but it makes me feel a faint sourness and helplessness.

However, I didn't say anything, just smiled, got up, walked to the door, and opened the door.

Behind me, Rue Xiang also hurriedly stood up and walked behind me with a little nervousness.

At the door, it was Liu Qinghan.

He was still pale, as if he had just come out of the snow cave-like room, and the sunlight had not yet had time to melt the ice that had condensed in his body, so when we opened the door, the wind blowing from behind him also brought such a touch of coolness, which made me and Rue Xiang shiver subconsciously.

As soon as he saw me, he saw Rue Xiang standing behind me, he seemed a little surprised, but he didn't look too surprised, and nodded very calmly: "Madame is also there." ”

Rue Xiang looked at him, pursed her lips, and didn't speak.

I smiled and said, "The boy of the light cold came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

"I have something I want to talk to Miss about yesterday's incident."

After speaking, his eyes were already on Ruexiang.

This time, Rue Xiang was more informed than ever, and immediately said: "Oh, I know, I should go back too, you guys talk slowly, talk slowly." ”

After saying that, he turned sideways, walked out from me and him, walked out two steps, looked back at us, and said cautiously, "Do you want me to have some refreshments brought over?" ”

We turned our heads to look at her.

“……”

After a pause, she immediately said, "I won't send it, I won't send it, you just talk about it, let's talk." ”

After saying that, he walked away happily.

Liu Qinghan and I were left standing in place, watching her back disappear at the staircase, and then there was a happy footstep sound in the stairwell, and then I saw her go down the small building, and she looked back at us specially before walking out.

I smiled faintly.

And Liu Qinghan stood at the door, also watching this scene, but he didn't feel too much, he didn't seem to have any memory of this person, the chill on his body still hadn't melted away, and when he opened his mouth to talk to me, there was still a trace of coldness: "Did I disturb you?" ”

"No, she was going back."

"That's good."

After saying that, he nodded again, and then slowly walked into my room.

Compared to his snow-cave room, my room obviously took a little effort, although there was no exquisite and extravagant decoration, but it was much warmer and more comfortable, especially when there were some porridge dishes left on the table, and the air was also the smell of warm food, which was more timid-looking than those luxurious incense.

I walked to the middle of the room, then looked back at him and said, "What do you want to say when Prince Qinghan comes to me?" ”

Although he took the initiative to come to me, at this time, he hesitated a little, frowned slightly and thought for a while, I also looked at him, quietly waiting for him to speak.

After a long time, I asked myself if my patience was good, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I said carefully: "Childe-?" ”

At this time, he looked up at me, but he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Miss, do you remember the wedding between me and my deceased wife?" ”

My heart sank
