The night was getting deeper.

Qinghe street in the south of the city, BMW incense cars compete for the race, Xiao drum and string music between the red mansions in Fang City are endless all night, the night banquet of thousands of families on the night of the fifteenth year, two rounds of full moon on the bridge of the falling moon bridge, one round in the sky, one round in the water, the Shengjing City is illuminated with flowers and moonlight, and the glory is contending.

The city is full of singing and drinking, but a certain courtyard in the palace of Wenjun is particularly cold and lonely.

The silver light in the room was dim, the bed had been replaced with a clean bedding, and the Yunluo gauze tent that had been cut by the blade had been replaced by a clean green gauze tent, and the tent was soft, gently wrapping the people and breath on the couch together.

Pei Yunshu was very weak after giving birth, and she was so tired that she fell asleep. The newborn baby girl was fed a little milk by the nurse, and her little face was wrinkled like a weak newborn monkey, shrunk in swaddling clothes, snuggling up to her mother tightly.

The "child's sorrow" in her has not yet been fully resolved, but the induction of labor before the toxicity has fully spread, in the end, has brought back a trace of life for the little girl. Yun Niang said that the child was worried, it was the deeply poisoned child who was unsolved, fortunately, it was not too late.

But she is still too young to use strong medicine, so she can only take care of it well, and slowly remove the residual poison from her body.

Pei Yunshu's mother and daughter are not in danger for the time being, the people of the palace hurriedly cleaned up the mess in the house, and Lu Tong sat at the corner table, holding a pen and paper and bowing his head to think about the antidote formula.

The room was quiet, and from time to time a servant girl whispered to Lu Tong about the taboo of decoction, Yin Zheng had already returned to the medical hall first, and Pei Yunyao's subordinates sent her back. Today's incident happened suddenly, no one told Du Changqing what happened, if his mind couldn't turn a corner, he was reluctant to let Renhe store set the table of banquets at a high price, and Ah Cheng had been waiting in the store until late at night to wait for three long and two short.

The lights were dim, Lu Tong picked up the pen, wrote a few words on the paper, and frowned slightly to cross out what he had just written. The scribbled handwriting was smeared, and the blurred ink marks gradually faded, like a chaotic star in the night outside the window.

Tonight is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she suddenly remembered.

The ink in front of her became more hazy, and it seemed that she had come to life, making some laughing noises, and those voices swirled and whispered in her ears, slowly outlining the dark path of Changwu County.

The gravel at the entrance of the path had been cleared and paved with stone slabs, and the crevices were covered with velvety green moss, and a little dim light peeked through the wooden window at the end of the path, and cast a long, old shadow on the bluestone slabs.

She stood still in front of the door, and there was a faint laughter of family laughter from inside, Lu Tong hesitated, pushed the door and walked in.

Mother was preparing incense for the moon at the door, and the sound of Lu Rou and Lu Qian talking came from the courtyard, she walked down the porch, and saw a coarse cloth spread on the stone table in the courtyard, and the coarse cloth was full of honey fried and velvet thread bought in the night market. Lu Rou was serving fresh melons and fruits to the stone table, while Lu Qian placed the large porcelain plate containing various moon balls upward.

"Whee pine nut filling, whee date filling, sesame oil fruit filling, whee sand filling......" Lu Qian raised his head and sighed, "It's all so sweet, my mother doesn't have to make a moon group according to my little sister's taste." ”

Lu Rou pursed her lips and smiled: "You can only eat the skin, and leave the stuffing for the pupils." ”

"Feed her stuffing," the boy rolled his eyes, "and if she eats a little more sugar, she won't be able to wear her new dress." ”

The father came out of the house, stretched out his sleeves and stroked his beard and said: "On the fifteenth night of tonight, I got a "Moonlight Autumn Sound Map" from the academy for my father, which happened to test you, the three of you, each wrote a poem, and wrote it after the end of the moon sacrifice, and if you can't write it, you will be punished." ”

As soon as the words fell, a dissatisfied voice came from the side: "Dad, why do you still compose poems on the fifteenth?" I don't do it, I'm going to the temple to see the river lanterns! ”

This voice was clear and arrogant, with a hint of childishness, but it made Lu Tong stunned.

A little girl of five or six years old ran out of the house, wearing a half-new green onion yellow thin jacket, a plain skirt underneath, and a butterfly cut from black gold paper on each side of her beard, she was also like a fresh butterfly, and flew into the yard in the blink of an eye.

"Lu San!" The father blushed with anger, "The girl's family is running around all day long, what kind of system!" ”

"Today is fifteenth, I don't care." The little girl turned around and flew behind her mother, "I'm going to the temple to see the river lanterns." ”

"No way!"

The little girl stomped her feet: "I want to!" ”

Lu Tong stared at the fearless girl hiding behind her mother for a long time, and the smile on her fresh little face was so vivid and agile that she was in a trance for a while.

It was herself, and it was so strange that it made her feel like another person.

Five or six-year-old Lu Tong ran past her, like a wisp of wind that couldn't be caught, she subconsciously looked at the shadow of the girl running, but saw the little girl standing behind her, looking at her with a look of surprise: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm ...... Who? She muttered repeated.

The moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and her former family stood in one place, looking at her with a complex mixture of suspicions, like a dangerous stranger who had suddenly entered.

Lu Rou hugged Xiao Lu Tong tightly in her arms, Lu Qian looked at her and shouted in surprise: "Blood!" ”

So Lu Tong bowed his head.

Her hands were soaked in blood at some point, and the sticky and thick blood trickled down her fingertips one by one, as if endlessly, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.

She stared blankly.

By the way, she's killed people, and her hands are bloody.

She is no longer the protected, carefree third girl of the Lu family, and she is no longer the favored jewel in the palm of her family's heart. From the moment she killed, there was no going back.

Her name was called, and her tone was gentle and loving.

"Little Seventeen."

She turned around, Yun Niang stood behind her, the persimmon pattern origami flowers on the pink jacket were gorgeous, holding a bowl of brown decoction in her hand, and beckoned to her with a smile.

"Come here."

The cold wind blew through the window, and the candles on the table flickered a few times.

Lu Tong shook his head and woke up from his dream all of a sudden.

There is no courtyard of the Lu family in Changwu County, there is no moon sacrifice in the fifteenth courtyard, there is no father and sister, and there is no Yun Niang.

In the distance is the hanging blue curtain, the house is lively and warm, this is not Changwu County, it is the bedroom of Pei Yunshu, the princess of Wenjun.

It's just a dream......

The dim yellow candle color was like a light-colored veil, softly draped over her, she sat in a daze, and heard someone next to her calling her: "Doctor Lu." ”

Lu Tong raised his eyes blankly.

At the table, Pei Yunyao saw her expression and was slightly stunned.

The night was already very deep, Pei Yunshu's mother and daughter were temporarily out of danger, the people in the yard were busy, Pei Yunyao planned to find Lu Tong to ask Pei Yunshu about the situation, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Lu Tong sitting at the table in the corner of the room, bowing his head and napping.

She came to Wenjun Wangfu early in the morning, and heard that she was just sending medicinal tea to Meng Xiyan, but she left it by mistake, and she was busy all day, and she should be extremely tired, so she would sit and fall asleep.

He walked around the small table, intending to take a thin blanket and put it on Lu Tong, but at a glance, he saw that Lu Tong's eyebrows were furrowed, and before he could react, as if sensing someone approaching, Lu Tong opened his eyes.

Probably just woke up from a dream and was not very awake, her eyes were not as calm and defensive as before, and she looked scattered and trance-like, like a porcelain vase full of cracks, which would be shattered the next moment.

Pei Yun's eyes moved slightly.

After a pause, he spoke, "Are you alright?" ”

Hearing this, the trance in Lu Tong's eyes quickly faded, his expression became clear again, and he looked at him and shook his head.

"My sister is asleep." Pei Yunyao glanced at the direction of the bed, lowered his voice and said to Lu Tong: "Go out to eat something?" ”

As soon as he reminded him, Lu Tongshi felt that his stomach was empty and he hadn't eaten for a day, so he packed up the paper and pen on the table and walked out of the house with Pei Yunyao.

It was the end of the hour, the moonlight was circulating in the courtyard, and under the osmanthus tree in the small courtyard, some melons and fruits were placed on the stone table. The garden of the county king's mansion has always been full of flowers, golden cinnamon, silver cinnamon, and dangui...... A gust of wind came, the flowers fell, and the courtyard was full of flowers.

In the fragrance of the cinnamon branches, Lu Tong sat down.

Pei Yunyi sat down opposite her, and there was a carved red lacquer begonia flower tea tray on the table, which contained six small moon balls. A jar of osmanthus sugar, a plate of steamed new chestnut flour cake with osmanthus, and a few bowls of Lantern Festival, served in a small bowl of lotus pattern blue and white.

He lifted the porcelain pot and poured the tea, and said, "It's too late, the refreshments are sloppy, Doctor Lu will make do with it." ”

Lu Tong said "thank you", reached out and brought a small bowl of Lantern Festival to him, and took a silver spoon and put it into his mouth.

The Lantern Festival is boiled soft and glutinous, and osmanthus walnuts are put in it, which is fragrant and sweet, and the hot food is in the stomach, and the body is also warm.

Seeing that Lu Tong was eating sweetly, he smiled and pushed the blue and white tea cup towards Lu Tong.

Lu Tong glanced at the cup.

Pei Yunyao said: "It's not wine, it's just cinnamon tea dew." ”

Lu Tong hadn't drunk it, but he tasted it lightly, and his mouth was faintly sweet and teay.

The moon is clear and the wind is clear, the candle flame is dim, there is no one else in the courtyard, only the piano floats far away outside the wall, the sound of the piano floats through the brightly lit Qinglou Painting Pavilion, floats through the heavenly street garden where Luo Qi is fragrant, floats through the alleys of the secluded square, floats through the red wall of the deep house, and gradually drifts into the osmanthus yin under the moon.

Lu Tong listened intently for a while, only to feel that the sound of the piano was whimpering and desolate, in this reunion festival, but the moon was difficult to complete, and the most bitter feeling in life was gathering and scattering.

She frowned slightly, raised her eyes, but looked at Pei Yunyi thoughtfully.

Seeing her, he smiled: "This is the section of "Folding Dangui" in "Guanghan Travel". ”

Lu Tong was silent.

There are a lot of books at home, but there is no piano, and a good piano is very expensive. Lu Rou likes to play the piano, and her father and mother saved some silver to buy her an old piano.

Lu Rouqin plays well, born beautifully, there are always some young people who have a crush on the beautiful woman squatting on the street outside Lu's house in the middle of the night to listen to the beautiful woman caressing the qin, and the little brother who sells melon seeds next door is often frightened by the teenagers who are gathered around when he closes the stall at night, and then the qin is sold - the neighbors are too resentful.

"I heard that Dr. Lu is from southern Jiangsu?" The voice interrupted her memories, and Pei Yunyi looked at her with a smile: "How did Dr. Lu spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past?" ”

She retracted her thoughts and replied coldly: "It was only the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past. ”

This is not a lie. At least in those years of Luomei Peak, the moon on August 15 was no different from the moon on every day.

Hearing her answer so perfunctorily, Pei Yunyi sighed, looking at her with a gaze that was half sincere and half teasing, "Doctor Lu doesn't have to be so defensive against me, at least tonight, we shouldn't be enemies." ”

She had just saved his sister and niece, and in a short period of time, he really wouldn't turn his face on her.

Lu Tong raised his eyes calmly and stared at the person in front of him.

The night breeze was silent, and the moonlight in the court plated the young man's crimson official uniform with a layer of silver frost, making his eyebrow bone and heroic face more and more handsome and eye-catching.

He has a clear voice, a bright smile, a good family education at a glance, very measured, and polite and kind, even when he suspected that he was murderous and aggressive, he also smiled, as if he had no heart.

But Lu Tong remembered the silver long knife that he unsheathed not long ago in front of Pei Yunshu's couch through the gap in the Yunluo tent. That was the first time she had seen Pei Yunyi's indifferent side.

All along, he has been high and confident, like a flawless problem in front of people, making people unable to start. However, at that moment, she glimpsed the flaw, or weakness, hidden in the depths of this problem.

Pei Yunshu is his weakness.

His weakness is his family.

Seeing that she had been silent, Pei Yunyao glanced at her, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Lu Tong said lightly: "What does Master Pei want to say?" ”

Pei Yunyi thought about it, put down the cup in his hand, and looked at her.

Under the shade of osmanthus flowers, the light on the stone table was hazy, and the dark eyes he looked at her reflected the bright moonlight, without temptation and arrogance, showing a bit of sparseness that he did not have on weekdays.

He said, "Thank you." ”

The tone is solemn.

Lu Tong was slightly stunned.

Although she didn't have much time to deal with Pei Yunyao, she thought she knew a little bit about Pei Yunyao. A noble son like them is just a mask to show their upbringing, the so-called politeness is alienation, and politeness is arrogance.

But at this moment, his thanks showed a bit of sincerity, perhaps because Pei Yunshu's mother and daughter were really important to him.

People who have a soft underbelly can always be dealt with.

Thinking like this in her heart, she heard Pei Yunyi say, "Thank you for saving me today, to be honest," he looked down at the cup in front of him and smiled, "I thought you wouldn't save it." ”

Lu Tong's heart sighed lightly.

In Pei Yunyao's eyes, she killed, planted, blamed, and vicious with malicious intentions, making him believe that she was a living bodhisattva who cured diseases and saved people, which is indeed difficult for some strong people.

She stirred the Lantern Festival in the small bowl in front of her with a silver spoon, and replied, "I didn't plan to save it." ”

Pei Yunyi raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you change your mind?" ”

Lu Tong smiled slightly, and looked up into his eyes.

"Because, if I don't save it, I won't have a chance to make Master Pei owe me a favor."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yunyi was stunned.

A gust of wind blew, the laurel leaves of the trees were rustling, and the night breeze mixed with the rain of golden flowers fell one after another, and the people were full of fragrance.

It seems that it was also on Qinghe Street one afternoon, in front of the pawn shop, the young conductor paid the silver hairpin for the female doctor who was embarrassed by the money bag, and stood in front of her and smiled inexplicably.

"Because, if you say it, you won't have a chance to make Dr. Lu owe me a favor."

But within a few months, she returned the original sentence, I don't know whether to say it was a coincidence or a grudge.

The young man sighed and reminded: "You can't say that, counting the time in Baoxianglou, I can save you twice." ”

"Oh?" Lu Tong was grateful: "But I am in danger today because I saved the princess." Besides, I'm a mere person. Life is not as valuable as the princess and mother and daughter, and when you count it, you still owe me more favors. ”

When she talked about the nobility of life, although her tone was calm, she couldn't hide a trace of disgust in her eyes.

Pei Yunyi's eyebrows moved, and he laughed and teased: "Who said that Dr. Lu is a doctor, why is there a difference between high and low life in his eyes?" ”

"The blessed serve all, and the unblessed serve. The princess of the county is served, and I am served, this is the difference between the noble and the low. ”

His smile faded: "So cheesy? ”

"The poor have always been cheesy."

He nodded, leaned forward, stared at Lu Tong fixedly, and curled his lips.

"It's always been a bad guy who pretends to be a good guy, why does Dr. Lu still do the opposite?"

Lu Tong's heart jumped.

His bright black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in her heart, and the pear vortex at the corner of his lips loomed in the moonlight, and the moonlight was extremely moving.

Lu Tong lowered his eyes.

He is really good-looking, but it is useless, good-looking drugs can be used to refine poison, good-looking men...... It's just pretty.

Pei Yunyi was also looking at Lu Tong.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, the bright moon is lovely, the woman sits in the dissolving lamp, she is beautiful, compared to the brightness of the Shengjing woman, it is more the delicacy of the Jiangnan people, the body is thin and light, as if a gust of wind can blow away as weak.

Her half-worn blue cloth dress with algae pattern embroidery was stained with blood, which she had just made during the delivery, and the cuffs were worn out. A crow's hair was braided obliquely - probably for the convenience of medicine, it was a little unkempt at the moment, and the blue finch down flower on her sideburns was still the one she wore when she first met in Baoxiang Building, and the down flower had been soaked in blood and was not very clean. But under the moonlight, it was blurred so that she could not see clearly, but it seemed that she was sitting alone, as if she was extremely lonely.

Pei Yun's eyes moved slightly.

She looked very frugal, although he had told Duan Xiaoyan before that Lu Tong's clothes had risen a lot, but he had to admit that most of the time, she was wearing old clothes. She never used any jewelry, and she was not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

However, Renxin Medical Center has made a lot of progress in the past six months.

The moonlight fell on the stone table through the shadows of the jagged trees, and the night was long, and the dawn was still early.

He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Okay, how much money does Dr. Lu want?" ”

Lu Tong didn't speak.

Pei Yunyao looked at her for a long time.

After a while, Lu Tong spoke.

She said, "Master Pei, why don't we make a deal." ”

"What deal?"

"I saved the princess's mother and daughter, two lives, one is to repay you Baoxiang downstairs for saving your life, and the other is that the incident of Wangchun Mountain, you should not have happened, and the previous misunderstanding was written off." Lu Tong's expression was calm.

For a short period of time, she didn't want to have too many entanglements with the front division of the palace. This person is really difficult, and getting rid of him will inevitably arouse suspicion, but seeing that he is so attentive to Pei Yunshu, at least in Pei Yunshu's matter, he always owes her a personal favor.

As if he didn't expect Lu Tong's condition to be this, Pei Yun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, staring at her with a subtle gaze: "Why don't you mention Master Ke?" Doctor Lu, do you want to fool around? ”

Lu Tong's heart moved, and he really guessed.

She smiled faintly: "Do you have proof?" ”

The young man sighed, "No." ”

He shook his head and smiled: "Deal, I don't care if you have any personal grievances with him." I won't meddle in this matter again, but next time, I won't cover you up. ”

Lu Tong was a little surprised, and thought that he would test it, but he didn't expect him to agree so easily, but it seemed that she had a little villain's heart.

She picked up a piece of moon dumplings from the plate and ate them, which were her favorite whissette pine nut filling, which was a little sweet and greasy. She ate slowly, and Pei Yunyao on the other side watched her eat, and suddenly asked, "Doctor Lu, who are you learning from?" ”

Lu Tong was stunned.

Pei Yunyi looked down at the remaining moon group in the carved red lacquer begonia flower tea tray on the table, "You said that the poison in my niece is difficult to resolve at the moment, if the respected master makes a move, ......"

Pei Yunshu also asked her about this, and Lu Tong said: "The family teacher has passed away." ”

Pei Yunyi swallowed back the rest of his words.

Lu Tong thought for a while, "I will try my best to detoxify the little lady, and Master Pei can rest assured for the time being." ”

It seemed like a serious promise, different from the insipidity of her daily lies.

Pei Yunyi smiled.

In fact, even if he is too careful, there are so many medical officers in the medical officer hospital who come and go, only Lu Tong found the truth about Pei Yunshu's poisoning, at least in Shengjing, her medical skills should not be underestimated.

I don't feel that it is even worse, the sheng song outside the wall is endless, in the poignant flute sound, the autumn dew is like a pearl, the autumn moon is like a pearl, and in the long shadow of the laurel tree, the streamer shines like a woman in the moon palace who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Chang'e doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but she loves sweetness.

Pei Yunyao saw Lu Tong pick up another piece of osmanthus steamed chestnut flour cake, and he couldn't help but laugh, a wind blew, blowing Lu Tong's sideburns, his eyes froze, and suddenly froze.

On the woman's fair face, there was a very shallow blood mark under her ear, which should have been injured by the knife wind during the fight in the house just now, as if the jade-white porcelain vase suddenly had a crack, which was very dazzling. Fang was covered by the broken hair in her ears, and it was only then that it was revealed.

He hesitated: "Your wounded ......"

Lu Tong touched it casually and said, "It's okay, just go back and take medicine." ”

As soon as she said this, Pei Yunyi remembered the first time they met Baoxiang downstairs, when she was held hostage, her neck was injured and bleeding, and he was kind enough to give her a bottle of scar removal medicine, and she left her in the rouge shop without looking at it.

Very indifferent.

Thinking like this, his gaze fell on the blue finch flower on Lu Tong's sideburns.

The three silver needles behind the blue finch velvet flower were sharp and sharp, better than ordinary hidden weapons. He remembered the corpse of the guard he saw in Pei Yunshu's bedroom in the afternoon, and the vases around him were shattered, and then Fangzi told him about the situation, and his tone was incredulous, as if he was shocked by the ruthlessness of this weak female doctor.

Pei Yunyi thought casually, in fact, even if he didn't arrive at that time, Lu Tong might not be at a loss. Her velvet needles are really sharp, and she has never been one to sit still.

I don't know when the sound of the piano stopped, the moonlight and cinnamon fragrance in the courtyard fell all over the body, Lu Tong raised his eyes, and it was Pei Yunyi's thoughtful gaze. His eyes were dark and shining under the lamp, and the scarlet official uniform was a little less serious and a little more graceful on him, and he was extraordinarily handsome.

The long sky is like water, such a good night of good scenery, cold cinnamon, weak tea, piano sound, lamps and candles, the two people drinking in the courtyard under the moon, the children in black clothes are radiant, and the young medical girl is weak and delicate, but they seem to be like a pair of old people who have known each other for a long time.

Lu Tong said: "The poison in the princess is caused by the accumulation of time for a long time, this poison is hidden, and the person who poisoned it is bound to hide it in the house." Is that all there is to it? ”

His eyes moved slightly, and then he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What advice does Doctor Lu have?" ”

Lu Tong picked up the porcelain pot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea dew, and raised his glass to Pei Yunyi.

She said lightly: "Palace Marshal, let me give you a gift." ”

Let's wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival eight months in advance!
