Chapter 101: Spring Flowers That Year
She understands that they are her only hope.
Her lips moved slightly, and she silently spat out two words:
Please.
Yan Saburo didn't squeak, just looked back at her fixedly, his eyes bright.
He read the pleading in her eyes.
At this time, the fat sister-in-law wiped her tears, blasted everyone out of the house, and went out with her, leaving room for Shi Xinglan and the two to talk.
Doctor Zhai silently retreated outside, and when he turned around, he found that the junior apprentice who was following him was actually gone, and he couldn't help frowning, but this was not the time to track down.
Inside, Shi Xinglan moved her fingers, and she couldn't lift her hand halfway.
She was too weak.
Su Yuyan grabbed her hand and stroked it on her face. He has a thousand words, since he went to Cangshan, every day he thinks about what he wants to say to her when he comes back, but at this time, there is no discipline, and he only said blankly: "The one who eats your life is the pen, right? You used it to write a play book, right?"
At the best of years, she withered rapidly. Su Yuyan is not stupid, of course he knows that there is an evil force at work. Thinking of Sha Zong's torture of him, it is not difficult to think of what Shi Xinglan did with this strange pen.
Shi Xinglan bowed slightly. So far, she has no need to hide it.
"I shouldn't have forced you, I shouldn't have forced you to write a book for me!" Su Yuyan muttered a few words, and finally cried loudly.
It's too late to regret.
"I have no regrets, you don't have to blame yourself. Shi Xinglan stroked his face, and her voice was like a gnat. There is no need to deliberately suppress it, and no third party can hear her words, "But what I said to Master Hu just now ......"
She pursed her lips: "This time, I risk your life, you don't blame me." ”
Of course, Su Yuyan knew what she meant. Chen Tong judged that the person to be pinched was him, not her, and there was nothing wrong with the magic pen. As a result, Shi Xinglan said a few words, and led the disaster to Chen Zhonghe's head.
Once this Master Hu found out that Chen Zhonghe had nothing to do with the magic pen, he would immediately fulfill his promise, making Su Yuyan's life worse than death.
"I'm not afraid, you've always known it. Su Yuyan didn't care about the chapped corners of her lips, and bowed her head to kiss her, "I know, you are good for me." Shi Xinglan didn't want him to live like before, this was her obsession.
And he won the crown at the Chunning ceremony, and he has already fulfilled his oath to his father, so he doesn't have to worry about seeing each other shamelessly under Jiuquan. So whether she was awake or unconscious when she made this decision, he would not complain.
It's a big deal.
"What I can't live with most is not you, it's Qing'er. Shi Xinglan blinked her eyes and spoke surprisingly fluently, "If there is a future, you adopt her, take care of her, and help her inherit Chunjitang." ”
"I said that I will marry you when I return from the Chunning ceremony. Su Yuyan said firmly, "Qing'er is my daughter, I will treat it as my own, and I will let her grow up safely and happily!"
Shi Xinglan was relieved.
The two of them said a few more words, and she wanted to touch his face again, but she was suddenly sleepy.
Scenes of the past suddenly flashed in front of me, like a marquee. She saw the two little guesses with Su Yuyan when she was a child, and saw the tossing and turning on the eve of her elopement.
Does she regret it?
After having Qing'er, no.
But she often feels guilty, to her deceased husband, to Su Yuyan.
The last picture in front of me is frozen in the spring of seven years ago. That year, the pear blossoms were blooming very brightly, and she sat under the stage on the small street on the south bank of Yuncheng, watching the fifteen-year-old Su Yuyan sing the leading role for the first time.
The flowers are like snow, the falling flowers are colorful, and the person sings softly in the applause of the audience, tactfully, as if he has taken up the spring of that year.
By the way, it was raining lightly in the sky at that time, as it is now, one drop, two drops, slapped on her face, moistening her eyebrows.

As soon as the officials hugged Hu Chengli and walked out of the courtyard, there was one less person in Shi Xinglan's boudoir-
Swallow Saburo.
He had been standing by the window, looking out from time to time, and saw only one officer patrolling the backyard. When Hu Chengli walked out, the man also rushed to deliver it, and Yan Saburo jumped out of the window, and the cat's waist slipped across the open space.
He was quite familiar with the terrain of the stone house, and knew where to escape.
Before he could climb the tree, the person next to him stretched out a slender hand and grabbed his collar: "You're too slow." ”
Chitose jumped and stood on the treetops, not even startling the birds in the canopy. Before the patrol officer came back, she had already jumped out of the high wall of the stone house with Yan Saburo and fell into the backyard of an unknown house.
By this time, the night was already dark, and Chitose had changed into a black dress, and as long as she avoided the bright lights, she could avoid the eyes and ears of others, and ran along the roofs, walls, and tree tops.
Her goal is clear: "Go, get out of town." "There is no point in staying in Cloud City anymore.
Yan Saburo grabbed her arm from his sleeve: "Can't go yet! Let's go to Jicheng Lane." ”
"Don't meddle with things!" Chitose knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't have a good air.
"She didn't confess to us on the spot, and we owe her a favor. Yan Saburo said, "For you, it's just a gesture." But if this matter is not done, Su Yuyan will die. ”
For Shi Xinglan, the most important thing to do is to tell the truth about the incident and identify Yan Saburo and Chitose. Now that she has made a move, as long as Hu Chengli finds out that Chen Tong's sentence has nothing to do with the Spring and Autumn Pen, she will immediately blame Su Yuyan.
So Shi Xinglan covered for the Chitose two, but she was actually risking Ailang's life.
She was gambling, betting that Yan Saburo was willing to return the favor and help her complete the rest of the tasks.
She has already sentenced Chen Tong to blame, and now she still lacks a trick to plant the blame. After all, Chen Tong was sentenced to be an official in the state, and Lord Hu from Shazong could only convict and punish him if everyone had obtained all the stolen goods.
Yan Saburo also had some understanding of Chitose's temperament at this time. Sure enough, she snorted, her face was still reluctant, but she turned her direction directly.
Since you can't resist him, let's get this done quickly.
Yan Saburo often follows the old doctor to walk the streets and alleys, and he has to buy all kinds of delicacies for Chitose to taste, and he has been very familiar with Yuncheng in the past three months, and at a glance he knows that this is the direction of Jicheng Lane, and he is relieved at the moment.
Only then did Shi Xinglan say Chen Tong's address in such detail, but it was not just for Hu Chengli.
Today, the nobles of the Sha Sect came to Yuncheng, and Chen Tongju, as the second-in-command of the city, could not go home early, and most of them were still in the official office at this time. So Hu Chengli left in a hurry, and he also wanted to go to the office to find him.
If you count the time for Hu Chengli's interrogation and Chen Tong's judgment and defense, Yan Saburo can make a time difference and go to Chen's Mansion first.
At this moment, the most precious thing is time.
He had only one requirement to complete the task at hand: fast.
But the most important thing Chitose lacks is speed, and when you go all out, it's much faster than a galloping horse.
