Su Yao nodded: "He fell asleep?" ”

"Not yet, county lord, you came just in time."

Liang Yuan was a little surprised, at this time, he didn't go to invite the county lord, the county lord himself came, and said with a heartfelt smile:

"The guards have only been sending the medicine for a long time, His Royal Highness has not drunk the medicine, and he is cold on the desk for the time being, and Weichen still has important things to do, if the county lord is willing to do it for him, remind His Highness to drink the medicine, Weichen is very grateful."

Su Yao agreed: "Okay." ”

Liang Yuanxing retired with a salute.

In the room, Wei Jingji just wanted to fall asleep, when there was another noise at the door.

He thought it was Liang who had gone away and returned, so he didn't get up, but he closed his eyes and waited for a while, and suddenly realized something, and raised his eyes to look at the figure.

Su Yao had already walked to the side of the Qingyu case, stretched out her hand to test the temperature of the bowl wall, and only picked it up when she felt it was appropriate, and walked to the edge of the couch.

Wei Jingji sat at the head of the bed, and when Su Jiao sat down in front of him, he came back to his senses, leaned back lazily, and said casually:

"Where does Duan Rin live?"

Su Yao was holding the spoon, and when he suddenly heard this, he was a little unable to react, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Second cousin will live in the yard next door to you."

Wei Jingji's lips straightened, and when he heard this, he bent his ground, and his smile was a little deep, "Next door? My yard is not full of people, why don't you let him live here? ”

Su Yao was a little strange, and he asked this question.

It may be that none of her other courtyards have guests staying for a long time, and the guests who come live in the Fufeng Courtyard where Wei Jingji lives, so he misunderstood her arrangement of resettlement people.

After a pause, she said tentatively, "Do you want to live with Duan Rin?" ”

Wei Jingji smiled slightly, and looked away, his voice sounding a little cold.

"I don't want to."

It was rare for Su Jiao to see Wei Jingji's smiling face, and with a little inexplicable gritted teeth, she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

At first, Wei Jingji would avoid her slightly ridiculous eyes, but after she looked at it for a long time, he also raised his eyebrows and looked back directly.

The sunlight that shrouded the noble young man just now fell on the girl in the hundred butterfly skirt at this time.

When the gaze is met, the dust that looms in the air slows down with time under the dazzling sun.

Su Yao's limbs were so nervous that they were a little stiff for no reason, and there was a crisp lark grabbing the eaves to stretch his singing voice, as if he was close to his ears, and his breathing was unconsciously very light and slow, as if to hide the beating of his heartbeat.

Suddenly, she turned her head and lowered her head, cleared her throat by the way, and moved her gaze to the medicine bowl again, the spoon stirred in the medicinal juice, making a crisp porcelain collision sound, and the rich medicinal fragrance mixed into the air.

"The second cousin likes a quiet place, but Ru'an is very lively here, and I am the one who has placed another place for him."

In fact, there were other reasons, but Su Yao subconsciously blurred, and then asked:

"By the way, I heard Liang Yuan say before that Mo Xianjia went back to receive the punishment this time, do you know how the saint will punish him?"

Wei Jingji was still looking at her, and his voice sounded uneasy.

"I don't know."

"Then I might go and see him? I haven't seen him since I met him at the inn that day, and I don't know how he's doing. Su Yao said: "It is said that the saint has sent someone to escort him back to Beijing, will he ......?"

Wei Jing said suddenly: "Why don't you talk about something else?" ”

Su Yao followed his words and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Talk about me and you."

Su Yao's heartbeat that had just calmed down, and with this sentence, she jumped fast, watching Wei Jingji lean over, getting closer and closer to her, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"We ...... What to talk about me and you ? ”

Wei Jingji looked into her eyes and said, "Talk about us, can we have a future?" ”

After noon, it was a drowsy day, but Su Yao rarely felt sleepy.

Waves of restlessness and heat are blowing in the wind.

This sentence was like ice falling into calm water, and it made Su Yao wake up from the chaos for a moment.

She silently recited Wei Jingji's words in her heart, and she wanted to blurt out "I don't know", but when the words came to her mouth, they became-

"I need time to think about it."

"How long?"

The girl, along with the sun, was silent.

Wei Jingji lowered his voice and discussed, "One month, is it enough?" ”

Su Yao raised his eyes and subconsciously repeated: "A month? ”

"One month is enough for my injuries to heal."

Seriously wounded, the young man's sense of awe-inspiring swords faded considerably, and he rarely showed a bit of elegance, he was silent for a moment, and said earnestly: "If you still don't want to do it after a month, then I will return to Beijing after my injuries have healed." ”

Only this time I left, it was different from the last time.

Wei Jingji returned to Beijing with his injuries, and the sage would definitely choose a concubine for him, and would never give him a chance to find her again.

He wasn't joking.

He's giving her a choice.

If she refuses, he will return to Beijing, and it will not be long before he hears the news of his marriage.

Su Jiao's mind was confused for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he nodded under Wei Jingji's gaze.

He didn't seem to have expected it, so he didn't react any other way, except pressed his eyelids down and reached out to take the medicine bowl in her hand.

Drink it all.

Su Yao didn't stay in his room anymore and came out with an empty bowl.

Ru An said that when people are at the moment of life and death, it is easy to feel guilty or good for the person who rescued her, and she once relied on Xiao Gongzi.

So much has happened lately.

It's good to have a month to calm down.

……

Within seven days of Duan Rin's letter, Li arrived in Wuzhou with his people.

After he was thrown back to the Duan Mansion by Wei Jingji, he was imprisoned in the mansion and had to take a leave of absence for three months, and he did not even see Su Jiao for the last time when he left Beijing.

In the past three years, he did not think that he would come to Wuzhou to look for Su Yao, but he would never be able to do so.

I could only look at the few words she had on the letter paper and talk for comfort.

I didn't know when I would see him again, but I didn't think that there would be a sudden rebellion, the prince was assassinated, and on the night when the saint learned the news, he was ordered to enter the palace and received the holy order to go south.

A few days later, Duan Rin still remembers that night clearly.

In the palace of nourishing the heart, the elderly emperor sat on the throne of the dragon, the pale blue blood vessels were all over the back of his hand, his five fingers were buckled on the jade seal of the country, and the voice of the difficult sang mentioned his marriage.

He also made it clear that if he nodded, he would be able to marry him immediately.

Duan Rin immediately guessed that the assassination of the prince might be related to Ah Yao, but he did not hesitate and refused the sage's suggestion.

The saint's face was visibly displeased, and it took a long time to press it down.

Duan Rin was ready to bear the wrath of thunder, but in the end, the saint did not force it, but only asked him to think about it and ask for a marriage decree at any time.

The reason why he refused was not that his affection for Ah Yao had weakened in the past three years, but that he must not take the initiative to act for Ah Yao.

Therefore, when he heard the lattery of the sage, Duan Rin did not refuse again.

He had a faint hope in his heart that if he and Ah Yao could still have a heart-to-heart, it would not be too late to ask for marriage, and he would save a lot of trouble, and the clan would not stop him.

If he fails to marry again, he will also be punished.

When Su Yao got the reply, he sent someone to be ready at all times, and estimated that the time was about to be short, so he personally stood in the main courtyard and waited.

It was noon, the thin clouds were like silk, and she had a layer of light sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks were slightly red, but fortunately she had not stood for long before the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the door.

When the guards and maids in the palace heard the wind, they went to greet them in an orderly manner.

In the midst of the crowd, the door was open, and Duan Rin stepped out of it in a crimson official robe, and under the jade-inlaid long-winged hat, he revealed a jade-like and exquisite face, which was extraordinary.

He took two steps, then stopped at the door, and looked at the young girl standing with a slight light in his eyes.

Su Yao combed the fallen fairy bun, pinned the golden silk phoenix-shaped agate and shook it, his eyes were about to flow, his face was greasy, standing under the ancient trees in the corridor, the beauty became the scene in front of him, and he painted in his heart.

Duan Rin couldn't help but think of the most widely circulated sentence among the literati and writers with whom Su Yao had a relationship with her or a few faces:

Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom.

When he was softening his bowels for another meeting, Su Yao had already walked up to him and said with a smile: "Second cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Duan Rin laughed softly and replied, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Second cousin, but he has been busy all the way and has never rested? Why are you still wearing official robes? ”

"I came out of the Taishou Mansion, and I haven't had time to change my clothes yet."

Su Yao said: "I see. ”

Duan Rin quipped: "Ah Yao, don't you hate me? ”

"How? My second cousin has traveled thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River, and I only have the reason to be happy, so how can I be suspicious? She pretended to be angry and said: "I heard that my second cousin has a prosperous career, and he has long been a celebrity in front of the sage. ”

Hearing her mention the past, Duan Rin was very relieved, and the current tension and slightly subtle sense of alienation suddenly dissipated, and he smiled: "An outsider is an outsider, how dare I show off in front of Ah Yao?" ”

Su Yao couldn't help but smile, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to take Duan Rin down to change clothes and bathe, and took him to the rain viewing platform for dinner.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Duan Rin for taking a huge risk to send her out of Beijing that day, and now that he had come to her house, she had ordered no matter how big or small, and the guards and maids were also very eye-catching, waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse.

The house suddenly became lively.

Except for Fufu-in.

These days, under Su Yao's care, Wei Jingji's injuries have recovered quite well, and now he can walk around the ground.

When there was movement in the outer courtyard, Liang Yuan was studying ink.

And the youth was dressed in snow white. Clothes, the void is wrapped, and he is reading the official document with a red pen, and his long fingers are slightly curved like cold jade.
