Zhao Xin left, and at the same time took Liu Xunyi's three souls and seven spirits.

For ten days, Liu Xunyi locked himself in the room without saying a word. When Ding Chou delivers food and water every day, he will try to chat with him for a few words, trying to open Liu Xunyi's heart knot, but no matter how hard Ding Chou laughs, Liu Xunyi is like a walking corpse, sitting quietly on the bed, expressionless, dull eyes, often motionless for several hours, like a clay statue.

For ten days, Liu Xunyi was unmoved by everything around him, but he had a soft spot for two things and refused to let go.

One is Zhao Xin's handkerchief, and the other is Zhao Xin's desperate letter.

If it weren't for the tears in his eyes, Ding Chou would have thought that Liu Xunyi, who was not moving, would be dead.

As for Liu Xunyi's promise that Zhao Yuan would solve the chaos in Lin'an within half a month, it naturally ended without a problem.

This is the first time that Liu Xunyi has "smashed" Zhao Yuan's errand, but because there was a reason for the incident, Zhao Yuan couldn't bear to pursue it, so he could only hand over the matter to Qin Wei and Lin'an Yamen to chase it down. Although Qin Wei led people to quell the chaos day and night, the people in the rivers and lakes were too cunning, so the results were quite small.

To this day, Lin'an is still in chaos. What's more, the Mongolian envoy "King of Hexi" proposed to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to take Zhao Xin off as soon as possible on the grounds that "Lin'an is in turmoil, and the princess is difficult to take care of".

Such a disregard for decent humiliation made the court of the Great Song Dynasty lose face, and the resentment against the Mongols in his heart was even worse, but because of the strength of Mongolia, he had to swallow his anger and seek satisfaction.

April 25, noon.

Ding Chou, who was full of sadness, came to Liu Xunyi's room with the food as always, as a few days ago, the breakfast on the table was still unchanged, Liu Xunyi was still sitting on the bed like a living dead, holding Zhao Xin's handkerchief and letters in his hand, turning a blind eye to Ding Chou's arrival and turning a deaf ear.

He hadn't eaten or drunk seriously for ten days, so that Liu Xunyi's face had thinned a lot, and his spirit was extremely sluggish.

I haven't changed my clothes and washed for ten days, so that my hair is messy and my stubble is overgrown, and I look sloppy and embarrassed.

"Lord Liu, let's take a bite!"

Looking at Liu Xunyi, who was in a trance, Ding Chou repeated this "nonsense" that he had said many times.

The result was also expected by Ding Chou, his consolation was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't hear the slightest echo at all.

"Alas!"

Either he was used to it, or he was helpless, or he was physically and mentally exhausted, seeing that Liu Xunyi was not improving, Ding Chou couldn't help but sigh, so he didn't say more, put down the hot lunch, picked up the cold breakfast, and turned around and walked outside the house.

Ding Chou stepped out of the door, but Qin Wei, who looked hurried, actually rushed in and almost knocked him to the ground.

"Lord Qin......"

"Little Dingzi, is Lord Liu better?" Qin Wei stretched out his hand to support the swaying Ding Chou, and said with concern, "How are you eating and drinking these days?"

"Look!" Ding Chou raised the intact rice porridge and pastries towards Qin Wei, and said helplessly, "It's still the same, I haven't moved." ”

"In that case, the water in the teapot can't be broken. Qin Wei advised, "People can't starve to death if they don't eat, but they can't stop drinking water." ”

"Don't worry!" Ding Chou smiled, "Every morning and evening, I will 'force' Lord Liu to enter a bowl of water, and I won't leave if he doesn't drink it." ”

"Good work. ”

"I'm not bitter, it's Lord Liu who is really bitter. Ding Chou glanced back at the room and said sympathetically, "The princess is so ruthless to Lord Liu, who can stand it?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Wei's face sank, and he said, "How much do you know about this? ”

Ding Chou's neck shrank, stuck out his tongue in a sneer, and said timidly: "Lord Qin, persuade Lord Liu well! I'm still young, and I don't understand emotional things, but ...... Lord Qin may have experience!"

"Stinky boy, get out!"

In Qin Wei's laughter and scolding, Ding Chou escaped from the courtyard like a smoke.

"Bastard little dingzi, more and more unruly!"

Qin Wei walked into the room and complained to Liu Xunyi about Ding Chou's stubbornness, wanting to break the embarrassment between the two.

It's a pity that Liu Xunyi is deeply in love and can't extricate himself, completely ignoring what is happening around him. This is true for Ding Chou, and it is also true for Qin Wei.

Seeing that Liu Xunyi didn't reply, Qin Wei was not annoyed, and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. When he saw the handkerchief and letter in Liu Xunyi's hand, his eyes changed slightly, but the strangeness was fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, it returned to normal.

"Why bother?" Qin Wei said helplessly, "No matter how good the princess is, she is just a woman." You are a dignified seven-foot man, how can you delay your future because of your children's personal affairs?"

As if disturbed by Qin Wei's voice, Liu Xunyi's eyes moved slightly, and he laughed at himself for no reason: "To this day, Master Hou still refuses to believe me." ”

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for too long, Liu Xunyi's voice sounded a little dry and hoarse.

"This ...... Where to start?"

"If that's not the case, why did Master Hou send you to spy on me?"

"Misunderstanding! Great misunderstanding!" Qin Wei waved his hand again and again, and said righteously, "I came here today, it is definitely not the intention of the Hou Ye, let alone to spy on you. Rather, there's a piece of news that I think should tell you. ”

"What's the news?" Liu Xunyi said absent-mindedly because of his lack of interest, "Is there another Jianghu person making trouble in Lin'an?"

"It's not. But...... It's also somewhat related. Qin Wei muttered, "Because the people of the rivers and lakes are constantly making trouble in Lin'an, and the court and the government are helpless, so that people are panicking, so everyone is worried about the security of Lin'an City." Among them, including those Mongolian envoys who came to pick up their relatives, and they were the most violent. ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Xunyi's eyes moved, as if he was interested, and hesitated, "It's fierce...... What do you mean?"

They blamed the incompetence of the Great Song Dynasty government and worried about the safety of the princess, so they proposed to the emperor to save the time-consuming and labor-intensive red tape and set off for the north as soon as possible. Qin Wei went straight to the point and didn't hide it at all.

Liu Xunyi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "How does the emperor reply?"

Seeing Liu Xunyi's flustered and anxious look, Qin Wei couldn't help but be stunned, and sighed: "Brother Liu, the princess has to marry early and late, and she has to leave early and late, isn't it?

"I've promised not to pester the princess anymore, why don't you be obsessed?" Liu Xunyi said angrily.

"Look at what you look like now!" Qin Wei was angry from his heart, "As soon as I talk about the princess, you are like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and the unhappiness in your heart is all written on your face, even I can't hide it, how can I hide it from the Hou Ye, the Prime Minister, and even the Lord Rong and the emperor?"

As for this, Qin Wei lowered his voice a few points and reminded: "Brother Liu, if the princess doesn't leave for a day, you won't be safe for a day." Now that you have finally saved your life, you must not let people see the flaws and cause any trouble. ”

"I understand, but ......"

Before Liu Xunyi finished speaking, Qin Wei suddenly pointed at him with his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Okay!" Liu Xunyi collected his thoughts, tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and asked word by word, "I'm not in a hurry, can you tell me how the emperor replied to the Mongols?"

"If you don't want to tell you, what am I doing here?" Qin Wei pouted, "It's not a secret, the emperor has already agreed to follow Chen's proposal, and it is scheduled to ...... On the first day of the fifth month, the princess was sent off. ”

"Boom!"

Qin Wei's news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Liu Xunyi's heart sank, and his mind fell into a blank.

Although Liu Xunyi knew that Zhao Xin would have to leave sooner or later, and he boasted that he was fully prepared to deal with it, but when this day really came, he still couldn't hide the agitation in his heart, and the self-comfort of the whole ten days came to naught in an instant, and it didn't work at all.

"On the first day of the fifth month, ......" Liu Xunyi's eyes fluttered, and he kept muttering to himself, "It's only been five days now, and Xin'er is in such a hurry......"

"I shouldn't say it, the princess left Lin'an City earlier, which is a good thing for everyone. Qin Wei said bluntly, "As soon as she leaves, the danger of the imperial court will be solved, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will escape, and the battle between the east and west will come to an end, even you...... It can also be reborn and become a human being. I suspect that this may be the fundamental reason why the emperor agreed to comply with Chen's unreasonable demands. ”

"That's Xin'er, she'......"

"Brother Liu!" Qin Wei interrupted Liu Xunyi's questioning in time and said solemnly, "The princess has already drawn a line with you, so her business has nothing to do with you. You shouldn't ask, you can't ask, you know?"

"I ......"

"Seeing you alive like a puddle of mud, I feel uncomfortable!" Qin Wei said indignantly, "If Zhao Xin doesn't leave for a day, you won't be able to cheer up for a day." She is the source of your confusion and lack of progress. I believe that as long as Zhao Xin leaves Lin'an, you will be able to recover as before in less than ten days and a half months and turn back to the old Liu Xunyi. When the time comes, you and my brother will have many great things to do together!"

The "big event" in Qin Wei's mouth has a deep meaning, but Liu Xunyi's mind is all on Zhao Xin, so he didn't hear the clue.

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi's eyes moved, and he pleaded with expectation: "Brother Qin, can you intercede with Lord Hou? On the first day of the fifth month, I ...... I want to send the princess. ”

"Impossible!" Qin Wei said with a straight expression, "Even if the Hou Ye agrees, the prime minister will not agree." In fact, as early as the night you met the princess, the prime minister issued a strict order to the Hou Ye that before Zhao Xin left Lin'an City, you were not allowed to step out of Tianji Pavilion for half a step. ”

After speaking, Qin Wei's tone eased, and he persuaded: "The prime minister is not only worried about the suspicion of the Mongols, but also about your safety. You also know that the current Lin'an City is not peaceful, full of people who want to put you to death, the first day of May is the big day of the princess's marriage, it is bound to be empty alleys, crowds of people. If you show up, you will not only be in danger yourself, but you may also be a danger to the princess and the innocent people who are joining in the fun. ”

"But ......"

"Brother Liu, listen to my advice! You have already survived the most painful days, and the future will only be prosperous and good every day, and you must not make mistakes at this juncture. Qin Wei said bitterly, "If you are wronged for a few more days, when the first day of May passes, all troubles will disappear." At that time, no matter what you want to do, I, Qin Wei, will never stop me, and I am willing to accompany you to the end!"
