13 Suspicion
Chapter 13 --- Doubt
Yan Xi's heart sank.
She knew that Jiang Zhiyan would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect that she would face this matter just after she came back and before she could breathe.
Qinglian was also anxious: "The day before yesterday, Taohong lied that Miss went to the market, and he didn't see Miss since he came, and it was the same yesterday, today..."
Yan Xi thought for a while: "See you." ”
She understands what the maidservant means, and she is afraid of arousing suspicion, to be precise, she is afraid of attracting people's attention, and it is better to have more than one thing at the moment.
Dressed neatly again, Yan Xi went out with the two maidservants.
The place of meeting is still the Yilan Water Pavilion in the front yard of the Lu Mansion.
Yan Xi went over and saw Jiang Zhiyan from a distance.
He stood in the gazebo, suave, occasionally looking across the street.
The little girl took two quick steps.
Jiang Zhiyan happened to turn around and look back, and he saw people at a glance.
"Whoa!"
As every time, the excitement is abnormal.
Jiang Zhiyan walked out of the pavilion with a smile and greeted Yan Xi.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, such as every three autumns, I finally saw my aunt today, how about my aunt for these two days?"
Yan Xi shook his head: "It's not very good." ”
Jiang Zhiyan didn't expect it, and when he heard it, he was quite anxious, so he suddenly smiled and said nervously: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Yan Xi stopped, stood opposite him, raised his little face and said bluntly: "It's not a big deal, Jiang Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it, just because it's been winter recently, and the weather is getting cold, I..."
She wanted to say that she was about to relapse from an old illness and that it was inconvenient for her to come out to meet from time to time, but before she could say anything, she heard someone calling her behind her.
"Miss Yan Xi..."
Yan Xi, Qinglian, and Taohong all turned around.
The person who came was a servant girl, walked politely, approached, and raised her hand to hand Yan Xi something.
"Miss Yan Xi, the prince asked the slave maid to give to the young lady..."
As soon as she stretched out her hand, Yan Xi's heart trembled.
For the servant maid had nothing else in her hand, but a box of precious ointment to relieve bruises, swelling and pain.
Everyone knows this thing, and the richer the family, the more they recognize it.
Yan Xi could feel that his face was burning in an instant.
Qinglian reacted quite quickly, immediately took the things, and then put them in her arms, and said with a smile: "Thank you Shizi, Miss didn't twist her ankle very much yesterday, and it happened to meet Shizi on the road at that time, and I saw Shizi for Shizi, Shizi has a heart, and I bother this sister to thank Shizi for our young lady." ”
The maidservant who had delivered the things bent down in response and returned.
She turned around, Yan Xi hadn't been able to turn back, and Jiang Zhiyan behind her was obviously a little more nervous.
"I twisted my ankle! Can you see a doctor? Does it still hurt? ”
Jiang Zhiyan had already rushed over.
Yan Xi was wearing a coat and hat, and at this time, the slender soft wattle slightly pulled the fluff on both sides of the brim, covering the reddened half of his face.
The little girl's heart was like a drum, and her voice became softer and softer.
"It's okay, Jiang Gongzi saw it just now, I'm fine."
Jiang Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, Shicai didn't see anything unusual about her walking.
When it comes to her well-being, he's always a little frizzy.
Jiang Zhiyan raised his hand and touched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay if you're fine." ”
Yan Xi took advantage of the situation and continued to say Shicai's words.
"I just wanted to say to Jiang Gongzi, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I have been a little chilly recently, afraid that the old disease will recur, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to come out from time to time."
"Ahh
Jiang Zhiyan suddenly understood what she meant, and blamed himself.
It wasn't cold for ordinary people right now, but it wasn't for her.
In order to see his sweetheart, he turned out to be ......
Jiang Zhiyan was remorseful, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
He hurriedly apologized: "It was my negligence, I really deserve to be beaten, thanks to the concubine, I already know that I will never make such a stupid mistake again in the future." ”
Yan Xi didn't say anything more, only responded, and was slightly blessed.
"Jiang Gongzi, then let's see you another day......"
Jiang Zhiyan made another move: "Take care." ”
"Hmm."
Yan Xi resigned, and the three of them missed someone, and then left quickly......
There have been a lot of things and troubles recently, and of course she doesn't want Jiang Zhiyan to always come looking for her.
The little girl and the maidservant immediately returned to the Taoxiang Pavilion.
******
The clean room is filled with moisture.
After bathing, Yan Xi stayed alone in the clean room to take medicine.
In just a short period of effort, my legs became weak, my hands trembled, not to mention my face and body, and it was no exaggeration to say that I was in a furnace.
After a long time, the two maidservants dressed her and helped her out.
Before noon, Yan Xi got into the quilt and dropped the curtain.
She opened her eyes, lay down for a long time, slowly closed them, and exhaled slowly.
Everything was like a dream.
She even wondered more than once if it was really just a dream......
Now, what to do?
The burn on his face lasted for half an hour before it gradually faded.
After the panic, shyness, and anxiety slowly calmed down, she had that strange feeling again, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
On that day, she did not go out again.
Then, on the morning of the second day, she basically lay on the bed and never got up.
On the morning of the third day, she was found.
When he heard Qinglian say that name, Yan Xi's heart undoubtedly churned again.
"Miss, it's the son of the world, I'll see you at Qingfeng Xiaozhu at noon today."
That small building is a quiet place rarely visited in the West Garden of Lufu, and it used to be a place where Lu Zhi studied.
Yan Xi didn't want to go, let alone meet people, but he knew that he had to go now.
In the end, she stubbornly went to the appointment.
At dusk, the sky was full of red clouds, and a few birdsongs rang in my ears.
The little girl found the most secluded way to the place where she went to the appointment.
The West Garden is quieter than the other places, especially near the Qingfeng Xiaozhu.
Several plum trees surround the periphery, lining the surrounding environment is elegant, quiet, and more bookish.
There was no one else in the attic, except for Lu Zhi's little servant Dongfu.
Seeing her coming, the little girl bent down slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Yan Xi, the prince is inside." ”
Yan Xi's heart trembled, his face was slightly red, he didn't talk to him, and he didn't even dare to look at people in a restrained manner, Meimu subconsciously looked towards the small door of the attic, paused for a moment, and took a difficult step.
She went in alone.
Both the maidservants were outside.
As soon as he walked in, bypassing the screen, Yan Xi saw that the man was sitting at an elegant table boiling tea.
"How's it being considered?"
He didn't stop, his eyes didn't move, he didn't look at her, he opened his mouth coldly.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Yan Xi said bluntly.
After these words, he undoubtedly attracted the man's attention.
Lu Zhi glanced sideways at her, his eyes fixed on her, and the corners of his lips flashed with a sneer.
"Miss Shen, don't make trouble for others, one more person, one more arrangement, I need time."
After that, he rolled his eyes and continued to pour the tea slowly, but the words did not stop, and the mockery became more distinct.
"It seems that you are still quite reluctant to that Jiang Gongzi."
"It's okay, I can't stay."
"On that day, it was your personal maid who begged and asked each other, and I made this decision."
"It's just for you..."
Yan Xi slowly clenched his hands, his lips were like Danxia, and his apricot eyes slowly turned.
She didn't continue with Lu Zhi's words, and asked about the side of her.
"On that day, the prince called me to Jingzhao Mansion, what was it for?"
Lu Zhi understated: "I am discussing the matter of your little guy." ”
Yan Xi: "Then now, if I go with the son, will the son let Atai go?" ”
Lu Zhi "snorted" and didn't answer, as if he had expected her words, and after a while, his well-defined hand picked up the tea that had just been poured, sipped it slightly, and then replied.
"You can think about it."
Yan Xi: "Then I will ask the prince for three more days, and give the son of the world a definite answer after three days, is it done?" ”
The corners of Lu Zhi's lips twitched, he didn't say it or couldn't say it, and the disdain was very clear.
finally said: "Then Miss Shen should think about it." ”
Yan Xi was slightly blessed and went out of the room.
On the way back, the master and servant did not speak, but when they got the dormitory, Qinglian and the two immediately locked the door.
Taohong hurriedly said: "Miss, what did the prince say!" Do you want to make a decision? Does the young lady really want to go with the son? ”
Qinglian did the same, looking at Yan Xi intently, waiting for her to answer.
"Miss?"
The two maidservants felt as if they were about to be roasted.
In terms of the root of this matter, it is nothing to follow the son, and even if you can really follow the son, it is a step to the sky.
But the problem is that they are about to become brother and sister.
If it weren't for the brother-sister relationship, if it was something else, if you didn't want to admit it, you had to admit it, and Miss wouldn't be able to climb high at all now.
But you can't be a concubine for him!
According to Lu Zhi's meaning, he seems to be hiding the young lady!
"Miss...."
Qinglian and Taohong said in unison, and they couldn't wait any longer.
But Yan Xi didn't answer immediately.
Her thoughts had drifted away.
Naturally, she would definitely not follow Lu Zhi and asked him for three days, but it was just to delay.
Because the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became.
This feeling is getting stronger and stronger right now.
The little girl did not answer the two maidservants, but she said something else.
"The day before yesterday, the bowl of soup I drank before I went to Jingzhao Mansion was handed to me by Xiaoyanagi?"
Qinglian and Taohong heard that the young lady's thoughts jumped here, and they were both stunned, not knowing why, but they answered.
"It's Xiaoyanagi, why did Miss think of this, will Miss go with Shizi?"
Yan Xi still didn't answer, but said, "You go and call her in..."
