…

Qi Mingyue was sick for two days, and even Jinchen didn't come to see her.

When Qi Rongyu came over, the maid stood tremblingly outside the door, and saw Qi Rongyu hurriedly saluting: "I've seen the second son." ”

"How's Mingyue? Is it better? ”

He came back after a busy day, and he hadn't come to see Qi Mingyue today.

"Miss locked herself in her room all day today, didn't see anyone, refused to take medicine or eat, and didn't let me tell Madame." The maid fell to her knees in fright.

Qi Rongyu's face was ugly, and he knocked on the door,

"Mingyue, it's me, second brother."

After getting a response, Qi Rongyu pushed the door in, walked into the inner room, and saw Qi Mingyue with a pale face, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously just cried.

Qi Rongyu hurriedly walked over and glanced at the medicine placed next to him: "King Chen has been busy with assassin affairs for the past two days, and he really can't spare time, don't spoil your body." ”

"Second brother, Brother Chen, is he angry with me? He must be angry with me, that's why he doesn't want to come to see me, he's blaming me, blaming me for surviving, hurting my sister's ......"

Qi Mingyue grabbed Qi Rongyu's sleeve, and tears fell down one by one.

"Mingyue!"

Qi Rongyu interrupted her, "Don't think nonsense, King Chen only has you in his heart!" If he really loses you, Mingyue, you are the daughter of our Guogong Mansion, and Yujing is full of young talents. ”

Qi Mingyue cried and shook his head: "Second brother, I can't live without him, I really can't live......"

Qi Rongyu looked at her like this, frowned, and said comfortingly: "Do you know about the Empty Valley Festival? Qiyueguan will hold a hollow valley event tomorrow, and I got the news that the imperial concubine sent the beggar she took away that day to Qiyueguan, and tomorrow she will take His Majesty's pet to fight beasts. ”

"Fighting beasts? How so? Qi Mingyue asked incredulously.

Qi Rongyu's face was solemn: "You don't know, there is a strange beast garden in Your Majesty's palace, which raises many rare and exotic beasts, including many fierce beasts. His favorite is the white tiger called perdition, once upon a time when he went to the court will be carried, if someone dares to disobey him, make him unhappy, the good life will be bitten off the neck directly, and the bad life will be taken to the strange beast park, with a stick of incense as the limit to fight with the beast, either be bitten to death, or lack arms and legs, in the past few years, he seems to have lost interest, only to restrain some. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as Dong Qin, the prince of Heqin, entered Beijing, he probably thought it was fun, and he actually asked Qiyueguan to reopen the empty valley grand event for her, just for the sake of fighting beasts."

Qi Rongyu didn't notice the panic on Qi Mingyue's face, but caught a glimpse of her hand shaking on his sleeve, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lan'er, Lan'er is, she was bitten off her neck, that person, she, she ......" Qi Mingyue's voice trembled, as if she remembered something extremely panicked.

Qi Rongyu hurriedly patted her on the back: "Relax, don't be afraid, you don't have to worry too much about that imperial concubine, what happened that day was just a coincidence, the only daughter of the regent of Eastern Qin, she has a brain disease since she was a child, she is a madman, and her actions are not understandable to ordinary people." Don't worry, this is Yujing, no matter how she messes around, she won't really ignore it, she is here to kiss, if she acts too absurdly, she can't be tolerated here. ”

"But the beggar,...... Second brother, what should I do, tomorrow, can you take me tomorrow, if Brother Chen knew that I had married, he wouldn't marry me, right? Second brother, you help me, I can't lose Brother Chen......" Qi Mingyue looked at Qi Rongyu pleadingly.

Qi Rongyu looked at her pale face, and picked up the medicine bowl on the side: "You drink the medicine obediently, you take care of your body, I can take you there." ”

"Okay, I'll drink." Qi Mingyue seemed to be afraid that Qi Rongyu would not agree, so she picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine in the medicine bowl with a frown.

Seeing that she drank the medicine, Qi Rongyu was relieved, "You have a good rest, I will pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you, second brother." Qi Mingyue finally had a smile on his face.

When Qi Rongyu left, the smile on Qi Mingyue's face completely dissipated, grabbed the empty medicine bowl, and smashed it on the ground, and the maid hurriedly entered the door in fright to clean it up.

Qi Mingyue beckoned to the maid, "Are you new here?" What is your name? ”

"Slave maid, slave maid is called Wan'er, before, before doing rough work in the yard." Wan'er replied.

"Wan'er? Which late? Is it late for night? Qi Mingyue's voice was delicate and soft, but there was a kind of coolness that made people's scalps tingle.

"No, it's not, it's a gentle Wan."

"Come here." Qi Mingyue looked at her.

Wan'er hurriedly knelt beside the bed.

Qi Mingyue reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Miss!" Wan'er looked at her in panic.

Qi Mingyue rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the porcelain piece on the ground, and scratched it her wrist, blood gushed out instantly, Qi Mingyue took the empty bowl placed next to the bed without changing her face, pinched Wan'er's hand, and dripped the blood into the bowl.

"Ahh......h

"I don't like the word Wan, I can't do any Wan, I went back and changed my name, you know?" Qi Mingyue said softly.

"Got it, got it, the slave got it......"

Qi Mingyue pinched her wrist and waited until the blood dripped all over the bowl before letting go of her, "Clean up here." ”

Wan'er's face turned pale, and she picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground with trembling hands.

She is a new person who has entered the mansion in the past two years, and the people who have entered the mansion together envy her for entering Miss Seven's courtyard, saying that Miss Seven is the most gentle and amiable, treats everyone well, serves by her side, and lives more comfortably than the young lady outside.

When she was serving in the yard before, she often heard the sound of porcelain bowls being broken in Miss Seven's room, and she thought it was just Miss Seven who didn't like to drink medicine.

It turns out that it's not that she doesn't like to drink medicine, but that she doesn't drink medicine, she drinks blood.

……

The Empty Valley Festival was held once a year before, and it was a rare event in Yujing City, and even the ordinary people who could not enter the Qiyueguan Mountain would play on the street under the Qiyueguan Mountain that day, and it was very lively.

But since three years ago, Qiyueguan has never held a grand event in the empty valley, and I heard that the orchids of Qiyueguan died overnight, and there were no flowers to appreciate, so naturally there was no grand event.

Now that I heard that Qiyueguan was going to hold the empty valley event again, the entire Yujing people who got the news were very excited.

Especially when I heard that their newly married imperial concubine would come to Qiyue Temple in person, it aroused the curiosity of countless people.

Early in the morning, the road to Qiyueguan was blocked, and if it weren't for the temporary arrival of officers and soldiers to maintain order, I am afraid that the whole road would be difficult to move an inch.

Qi Mingyue followed Qi Rongyu to Qiyueguan, accompanied by Xie Ziling, the cousin of Qi's mansion, he is a scholar, he has always been elegant, and when he learned that the empty valley event was going to be held, he came to Qi's mansion early in the morning and invited Qi Mingyue to accompany him.

The three of them set off early in the morning, but because there were too many cars and horses on the road, it was almost noon when they arrived at Qiyueguan.

Qi Mingyue saw Lian Jinchen at a glance who was talking to the Taoist of Qiyueguan.

"Brother Chen," Qi Mingyue walked over in surprise, but she didn't know what she thought, she stopped again, and looked at Lian Jinchen with a pale face.

Lian Jinchen noticed her gaze, walked over, and remembered that she seemed to be in poor health for the past two days, so he asked, "Why are you here?" It's not that if you're frightened, why don't you rest at home? ”

The surprise in Qi Mingyue's eyes faded in an instant, and he bit his lip and looked at Lian Jinchen with tears in his eyes.

Lian Jinchen's eyebrows tightened, he reached out and pressed her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I've been busy with assassin affairs for the past two days, and I haven't been able to see you, there are so many people today, I'm afraid that they will collide with you, and I'm a little anxious to speak, don't take it to heart." ”

When Qi Mingyue heard his words, her face finally softened, and she reached out to grab his cuffs, she still had white yarn wrapped around her fingers, as if she didn't dare to use force, "I only heard about the Hollow Valley Festival before, and I never came here, so I begged my second brother and cousin to bring me over, why is Brother Chen here?" ”

"I'm in charge of security in the capital, and there are a lot of people here today, so I'm afraid of something accidenting, so I'm here to keep an eye on it." Lian Jinchen explained a few words, looked up and saw Qi Rongyu and Xie Ziling, and said to her: "This king asked someone to take you to lunch, enjoy the flowers in the orchid garden next to you, you follow your second brother and don't walk around." ”

"I see." Qi Mingyue blushed, and her fingertips gently hooked Jinchen's fingers.

Lian Jinchen glanced down and held her fingers.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

One after another, the voices of discussion rang out, but they were extremely restrained and did not dare to amplify their voices.

Qi Mingyue and Lian Jinchen looked up, only to see that the originally crowded crowd automatically separated and made a way.

In the middle of the road, a girl dressed in red accompanied by a white tiger with a length of two meters, walked step by step.
