Changan.

The attendant raised his arm, and the raven spun and landed on his arm. The attendant took the small bamboo tube from the crow's leg and sent it into the temple. Kawatani took it and passed it to the crown prince Liu Ju.

"King Qi Siqin is seriously ill and wants to return to Chang'an. Please visit the emperor and discuss again. ”

Liu Hong is sick again?

Last time, he also said that he was sick, but he ventured to visit, and he was in good health, playing with a slingshot to shoot a bird's nest in the yard. And when he was suspicious, he retreated to his residence, and when he discussed with Bai Liqing and others, he was assassinated by thieves. Flee to the forest to hide, only to pick up a life.

Although it was an understatement to his father, he was actually chased and killed for five days in a row. Such a large number of killers have never appeared, and immediately after he spies into the Qi Palace, such a big action has not been tracked down by officers and soldiers. Childhood affection, I remember it very well, what about you? Brother Hong. Did the assassination come from you, or did it come from Xiang Guobu? Or are you colluding?

Two days later, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty received a watch from Henan County.

In August, the temple was sacrificed, and the ancestors were glorified, and the princes and kings and the princes were paid tribute to the gold sacrifice. Recommended by the ministers, the princes and kings left Beijing at a young age, entered Chang'an with the tribute gold, sacrificed to the temple, and then gathered in the Changle Palace to recount the joy of family. Please order the emperor.

"What do you think?"

"Father, my sons and daughters also miss your younger brothers."

"Your Majesty, the departure of the princes and kings from the fiefdom is not conducive to the stability of the feudal country. And so many princes and kings entered Chang'an at the same time, this matter is a big trouble, and it needs to be considered in the long run. It is better to give the emperor's holy decree to select individual princes and kings to enter the capital, and then let other princes and kings come after they return. In this way, it is not only close to the cousin, but also not easy to make trouble. Prime Minister Zhao Zhou proposed, and coughed a few more times after speaking.

Da Sima Weiqing, Dasi Nong Sang Hongyang, and Shi Qing, the imperial historian, seconded the proposal.

"I understand. Prime Minister Zhao, you have to pay more attention to your body. ”

"The old minister thanks the emperor for his care."

Gyeongju.

A woman stood under the eaves of the door without powder, wearing a long cloak, looking at the damp ground in a daze, and a dead crow in a small puddle on the ground faintly smelled rancid.

"How did you get out? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold and getting sick again? ”

Ou Suying walked in and helped the woman tighten her cloak.

The woman looked at Ou Suying's thin clothes, on this hot day, where did she catch a cold, because her body was too weak, but she was so sick on a rainy day. There is no life of a young lady, but there is a body of a young lady.

"It's okay, I'm feeling better and want to go out for a walk. What about the show? ”

"Shui Wei, don't think about this, so that you can give birth and raise your body. I'll take care of the show. ”

"Thank you, Sister Suying."

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"Okay."

Ou Suying stood under the eaves of the door and looked at the rainy days, sometimes heavy rain, sometimes drizzle, which has not stopped for nearly ten days. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a dead crow on the ground, "Huang Xiaoshan, bury that bird soon." ”

Fang Cai's expression was so gloomy, it was estimated that she had seen the dead blackbird touching the scene. It's not that she can't get better from this illness, why can't she think about it like this. When I get sick, I am most afraid that my mood will become depressed.

Ou Suying went back to the house, and saw a white pigeon on the windowsill cleaning its wet feathers, went over and took off the letterbox on its feet, wiped it with his sleeve, and saw it cooing and moving away, so he went with it. Opening the letter is a love letter from Liu Ju, and it is also a letter urging him to return to the date.

"I miss and become sick, I have taken the decoction and medicine, but I still don't get better, return quickly."

"Sick? Come on, pack up your things, and go back to Chang'an quickly. ”

Bi Xiao saw the servants packing up their things, and hurriedly went to Ou Suying to confirm, "Suying, but you want to go back to Chang'an?" ”

"Yes, Nanxing is sick."

"He's sick and has the royal healer of the palace, what's the use of you hurrying back? We don't go back, we go to Qingzhou, we can go anywhere. ”

"Bixiao!"

"I've given you a ring, and I hope you understand the meaning of 'precepts.'"

In my hometown, the ring is the meaning of lovesickness, and men and women give each other rings and promise a lifetime. And in the Han Dynasty, it meant abstinence. Men wear rings, which means self-discipline, self-reflection, obedience to rules, understanding etiquette, and not transgression. Women wear rings to show that they are educated and understand etiquette and norms, not ignorant village women. There are also deep women who sometimes wear rings, which means that it is inconvenient to stay with their husbands today.

"Stop? Why didn't you say when I knocked on your door every night? Why didn't you say it when I went up to your bed? Why don't you say it when you and I undress and make love? ”

Smack-

Ou Suying's fingertips were numb, and he was a little stunned when he looked at the red marks that instantly appeared on Bixiao's face. "If you don't want to go back to Chang'an, you will stay." Ou Suying walked away quickly and got into the carriage outside the courtyard gate.

Ou Suying knew that Bixiao was extremely reluctant to return to Chang'an.

Every time after the pillow feast, Bixiao would persuade Ou Suying to go with him for various reasons, and not enter Kyoto at the end of the world.

Su Ying, you have mine in your heart, if we go back to Chang'an, we won't be as comfortable as now.

Su Ying, I don't ask you to love me, just like you love Nanxing, I just hope you can stay with me more and like me a little more every day.

Suying, I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, almost half of my life has been spent in Chang'an, my previous master treated me extremely badly, I was afraid, I didn't want to go back, it was full of shadows.

I hate him, I hate their torture of me, I hate Chang'an City, let's go.

Su Ying, I heard that there is Daze in the east of Qi Kingdom, vast and boundless, let's take a look?

Ou Suying sat in the carriage for a while, and when the convoy set off, he saw that Bixiao also got into the carriage. After all, he still couldn't give up and followed Su Ying back to Chang'an.

"Huang Xiaoshan, prepare for the carriage again."

Ou Suying didn't ride with Bixiao, and Bixiao watched her get out of the car and leave in pain, but she couldn't stop her.

Before you arrive in Chang'an, you have to draw a line with me, heh.

These days of struggle are just my dreams.

Hongnong.

A post station between Luoyang and Chang'an.

Due to the fact that Luoyang and Chang'an have a lot of carriages and horses, the post station has expanded again and again, and has formed a small village.

Shui Wei's condition was even more serious and she couldn't withstand the toss of the night rush, so Ou Suying and her party had to suspend this place for a day of rest. If Shui Wei couldn't go along, Ou Suying had to leave her here to recuperate and go back to Chang'an first.

And they all rested and fell asleep.

Shui Wei went to Bixiao's residence alone, where was she sick and bedridden in the action room.

"Blue Sky"

Shui Wei looked at the person kneeling in front of the desk, he seemed to have known that he was coming, and he was already waiting here. Shui Wei sat opposite him.

"I'm not going back to Chang'an, you're doing it yourself."

"Bixiao, I never thought to tell my master that I didn't teleport the Night Raven, you believe me."

Bi Xiao nodded.

After he killed the Night Raven, he found that there was no letter.

Seeing him nodding, Shui Wei smiled happily, "Actually, I'm not alone, I still have a younger sister at home, I heard that she lives in Changlingyi, it's not very far away, but I never went back to see it." That little girl thought I was a plain girl guarding the mausoleum, and often wrote to me and asked the guards to hand it to me. I received all her letters, but I never replied to her. Just know that she is okay, and those who do our job are most afraid of revealing their identities. ”

"It's late at night, you rest early, I'll go back."

Early the next morning.

Ou Suying was freshening up, and the servant came to report, "Miss Shui Wei has died of illness." ”

The peach comb fell to the ground in shock, and cracked out.

I hurt her, she was so sick, I brought her back, and she didn't survive the tiring journey. I hurt her.

Ou Suying cried bitterly at the desk.

Shui Wei has no family, Ou Suying bought a cemetery in Hongnong and buried Shui Wei, but when the monument was erected, she didn't know how to write the epitaph.

It was already dusk when I returned to Chang'an, and it was night when I went to Ou's house to clean up.

"I still have to go to the princess's mansion tomorrow to find Sister Yongqing to take me into the palace, why are you here tonight? What's wrong with your illness? ”

"It's all right, it's all right to see you."

"You're pretending to be sick?"

"No, I do have a fever, so I asked the doctor to order me."

"Suying misses you, why are you so ruthless, you have been gone for so long, I think you will have gray hair in these three months."

"Your gray hair is malnourished, don't rely on me."

"Nanxing, Shui Wei died, it was because I was in a hurry that her condition worsened. Nanxing, I killed her, it's all my fault. If it would be nice for me to leave her in Gyeongju to recuperate, why should I take her away? It's all my fault! ”

"Well, I don't blame you for this, her fate is determined in a few days, she just has this catastrophe. Suying, be good, don't cry and break your eyes. ”

Liu Yi comforted Ou Suying for a long time, and the two rested peacefully.

Chapter 53: Changes in Chang'an

After dawn.

The crown prince Liu Ju returned to the palace by car.

Kawaya didn't know where he came from that street, and rode a donkey to follow Liu Ju's carriage and horses.

"Nanxing, I've been waiting for you for a while since you got up so late today. Didn't you have a lot of love and honey last night—"

"Shut up."

The corners of Liu Ju's mouth with a smile showed that he was in a good mood, and he was not moved by Kawagu's nonsense.

"What can you find?"

"It has been verified by many parties that the missing crow did die in Shui Wei's residence, but no one saw Shui Wei kill the letter crow with their own eyes. And Shui Wei was indeed sick, originally it was a cold, but later encountered a rainy day, the condition worsened, and then Su Ying and they hurried back to Chang'an, or because of the fatigue of the boat, Shui Wei was sick and died of illness in Hongnong. ”

Chuan Gu was not idle this night, and went to confirm the news of Bixiao and Shui Wei's return.

"Hmm. You donkey is so short, how is it better than a horse's endurance? ”

"It's not like that, hehe."

Ou Suying took the gifts she bought back from a business trip to see her old friends. The two court officials who almost became their godfathers, Shi Qing, the imperial historian, Sun He, the Marquis of Nanyi, everyone in Xianle Fang, and all the staff of Phantom have gifts.

Ou Suying went to Princess Dangli's mansion to give gifts, the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, Qian Saburo's temperament heard that he came back early to ask for gifts, I have been giving gifts for most of the day, and I haven't seen anyone.

"Divert to Wuliu Street."

Qian Fu.

Old Man Qian politely entertained Ou Suying in the living room.

"Meet Qian Gong, the slave Ou Suying, is a friend of Qian Saburo."

"I know you, San Lang often praises you, you are generous and intelligent, and you understand him. Hey, I'm an old bone, I don't understand him, it's rare for him to meet a friend who understands him, hahaha. ”

"Saburo is overrated. Qian Gong, I just came back from out of town and brought some gifts, please smile. ”

"You're welcome, it's rare to come to the house, what kind of gifts do you bring?"

Qian Gong asked the servant to take the things that Ou Suying had brought over.

"Qian Gong, why don't you see San Lang?"

"He's not home for a while."

When it comes to Qian Saburo, Master Qian always sighs.
