As soon as Ling Xue went out, she saw Ye Ling Xiao losing her mind at the gate of the courtyard.

She stepped forward, followed his gaze, and asked suspiciously, "Brother, what are you looking at?" ”

Ye Lingxiao retracted his gaze, turned to look at Ling Xue, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You...... What did she talk to you about? ”

"Who?"

Ye Lingxiao coughed lightly twice, frowned slightly, and said, "Weiyang." ”

Ling Xue reacted, her heart sank, and she thought that Weiyang had told Ye Lingxiao about her and Jun Heng, and she couldn't help but feel a little upset in her heart.

Ling Xue thought for a moment and asked him, "What did she tell you?" ”

Ye Lingxiao said: "I didn't say anything, but she seemed to be very resistant to me." ”

Ling Xue's hanging heart relaxed, but listening to the second half of his sentence, she felt a little inexplicable.

"Why did my brother say that? How could Weiyang resist you? I just talked about you. ”

Ye Lingxiao lowered her eyes, looked at her with a faint look, and said, "What did you talk about?" ”

made her so angry at herself inexplicably.

Ling Xue said: "I didn't say anything, just said that in her heart, she has always regarded you as a brother." ”

"Brother?" Ye Lingxue's frowning deepened.

I can't complain that she is so resistant, because she treats him as a brother, so she doesn't want to be touched by him?

"That's right." Ling Xue said: "Isn't this just right? In your heart, haven't you always regarded her as a sister? ”

The night was choked, and I was speechless.

Ling Xue changed her words and asked him, "Are you coming to me?" ”

Ye Lingxiao then remembered that he had something important to explain when he came to Beiyuan, and he said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid the street is not very peaceful these days, you stay at home and don't run around." ”

Ling Xue's expression changed and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Lingxiao said: "Yuxian County was hit by a locust plague, the grain was not harvested, and the people were hungry, which caused a large number of refugees to pour into the imperial city last night. ”

"A plague of locusts?" Ling Xue was very surprised.

"Hasn't this matter been settled by the imperial court? How could there still be an influx of refugees into the Imperial City? ”

"What about the relief food of the imperial court? Didn't it be sent to Yuzhou three months ago? ”

Ye Lingxiao said: "The disaster relief grain was not delivered to Yuzhou at all, and it was hijacked by the bandits halfway, and the officials responsible for escorting the grain deceived the superiors and subordinates and did not report the matter." ”

Ling Xue said angrily: "Unscrupulous dog officer! This is who gave their dog guts! He regarded human life as a mustard! ”

"It's an official under Xu Ge, after the refugees poured into the imperial city, this matter was exposed, and Xu Ge Lao put all the blame on that official, and the emperor has ordered the official to be cut down."

"What about Elder Xu Ge?" Ling Xue said: "He is not well supervised! His people have made such a big mistake, and he can't escape the blame! ”

"The emperor only punished him for half a year, to set an example!"

Hearing this, Ling Xue was silent.

Ye Lingxiao said: "Elder Xu Ge and Marquis An Yuan colluded, most of the forces in the DPRK and China were controlled and co-opted by Marquis An Yuan, and the emperor would definitely not punish him for a few refugees!" The sadness in his eyes came up, and Ling Xue said: "The traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not happy!" Sooner or later, the country that Daddy finally fought down will be lost in the hands of this group of traitors! ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Lingxiao and said, "Brother, otherwise, let's write to Youzhou and let Daddy come back." ”

"You're wrong, Ling Xue." Ye Lingxiao said: "There is no end to traitors, as long as they are powerful, people's greed will never end. Sooner or later, Daddy will grow old, and we can't rely on him for everything. ”

"So what now? What about the refugees? ”

Ye Lingxiao said: "Jun Heng has sent troops to suppress them and moved them to a safe place, and the disaster relief food will be distributed again, you don't have to worry." ”

Ling Xue was slightly stunned.

It turned out that Nie Junheng hurriedly went out this morning to resettle the refugees.

Ling Xue said, "Is my brother going too?" ”

Ye Lingxiao nodded and said, "The number of refugees is huge, I need to go there in person, so as not to cause trouble and the situation is difficult to control." ”

"Are you coming back tonight?"

Ye Lingxiao said: "You don't have to wait for us to come back for dinner today, you can rest early." ”

A touch of loss crossed Ling Xue's face.

It seems that Nie Junheng will not return home tonight......

Thinking of this, Ling Xue went back to the room early after having dinner.

After bathing, she changed into a soft dress, Yuzhu made the bed for her, turned to her and said, "The county lord rested earlier today, right?" ”

Ling Xue stood outside the window, looking at the rich night outside the window, and suddenly remembered what Nie Junheng had said to her during the day.

He said that he would bring him hibiscus cake when he returned home.

However, he still has important things to do now, and he shouldn't take this little thing to heart.

However, he has always been true to his word, and maybe, what about him?

Yuzhu saw her standing in front of the window without saying a word, so she asked, "County Lord, what are you thinking?" The bed was already made. ”

Ling Xue turned her back to Yuzhu and muttered to herself, "I just suddenly want to eat hibiscus cake." ”

"Hibiscus cake?" Yuzhu said: "Mama Zhao has done a lot, so the slave will go and bring it to the county lord." ”

"No need." Ling Xue turned to Yuzhu and said, "Don't eat it, you can retreat first." ”

Yuzhu was a little confused.

She found that in the past two days, she had become more and more unable to guess Ling Xue's thoughts.

"The county lord rested early, and the slave and maid retreated first."

Yuzhu turned around and went out the door, and was just about to close the door, when Ling Xue asked her again, "Are my brother and Jun Heng back?" ”.

Yuzhu said: "No. ”

Ling Xue was silent for a moment, then waved her hand at Yuzhu and said, "I know, you can retreat first." ”

After Yuzhu left, Ling Xue stood in front of the window for a long time, until the candles in the room were about to burn out, she sighed and gently closed the window.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to sleep.

She felt that the night was extremely difficult, as soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of chaotic images.

In the end, those fragmentary images piece together a person's face little by little.

She opened her eyes suddenly, sat up from the bed, and patted her slightly hot cheek indiscriminately.

It's amazing!

Why did she close her eyes and her mind was full of Nie Junheng!

At this moment, a footstep sounded outside the window.

Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking of something, she hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the window and opened the window.

It was pitch black outside the window, the night was like ink, she couldn't see anything clearly, and the footsteps stopped abruptly.

She even wondered if Fang Cai was hallucinating due to excessive thoughts.

Just as she was suspicious, there was another movement outside the window. She followed the voice, and saw a small figure burrow into the grass.

It was a kitten, she thought it was ......

A touch of disappointment crossed her eyes, and Ling Xue was about to turn around and leave, when a familiar voice suddenly stopped her.

"Sister."

Ling Xue's eyes lit up, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a figure slowly walking out from behind the rockery.

Even though the night was thick, Ling Xue still recognized him at a glance.

The corners of her lips lifted, and she turned to open the door, and walked out briskly.

Nie Junheng also walked out from behind the rockery and came to the main gate in a blink of an eye.

The two looked at each other, Ling Xue hurriedly restrained the smile in her eyes, and said in a flat tone: "Brother said, don't you want to resettle refugees and not return home tonight?" ”

Nie Junheng took out a bag of things from his arms and handed it to her, saying, "Everything has been properly arranged in advance, and when I came back this time, I will give you hibiscus cake." ”

Ling Xue slowly stretched out her hand to take it, a bag full of it, still hot.

She hung her head, and the smile on her lips couldn't stop coming.

She said, "When did you come?" Waited outside for a long time? ”

Nie Junheng let out a soft "um" and said, "I thought you had already rested, so I didn't bother you." ”

Ling Xue said: "It's so late, you don't have to send it in person." This hibiscus cake, Mama Zhao also made a lot. ”

Nie Junheng stared at her, and said in a low tone: "Sister, the hibiscus cake is just an excuse, I just want to see you." ”

Ling Xue raised her eyes and saw Nie Junheng's deep and gentle gaze.

At this moment, her heart felt as if it had been hit by something, and she almost lost her breath.

At this time, Nie Junheng suddenly lowered her eyes, her eyes inadvertently fell on her feet, and her eyebrows frowned.

The snow-white feet stand on the steps, and the pink little fingers are like red stamens and white petals.

She has a rare pair of beautiful feet.

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

Ling Xue looked down, her face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly took a few steps back, reaching out and pulling the hem of her skirt, trying to cover her feet, but the skirt was just ankle high, and she couldn't cover the instep at all.

She was so in such a hurry that she forgot to put on her shoes......

Just when she was at a loss, her body suddenly hung in the air.

Nie Junheng hugged her horizontally, raised his feet and walked to the room.
