Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master
Chapter 86 I Don't Worry About You
Chapter 86 I Don't Worry About You
at dusk.
The red sun gradually sinks into the western mountains, and the sunset glow is like cinnabar spilled from an overturned paint box, the color is thick and warm.The slanting sun sets in the west and the bright moon rises in the east. Day and night, red and blue interweave into a magnificent picture scroll, covering the rolling Zhongshan Mountain.
Under an old willow tree, Baili Jiuge was squatting there, digging the soil under the tree, digging out a cloth bag bit by bit.
Opening the cloth bag, inside was a black gauze skirt with wide sleeves, a bamboo hat decorated with black gauze, and a scar that looked like it was real.
Now that she is far away from the court capital and has come to Zhongshan, she doesn't need to be Bai Qiang, and she doesn't need to write Baili Jiuge anymore.
The black veil was flipped, the black hair was flung behind her head, Baili Jiuge turned into a black phoenix again, her sleeves were dancing in the wind, looking at the magnificent beauty of Zhongshan Mountain, leaping up with strides, stepping on the branches, creeping up the clouds .
Halfway up the mountain, suddenly there was a bird singing like a flute.
She followed the prestige and saw that it was the Kunshan Snow Phoenix flying gracefully, with a slight flap of its wings, thousands of white feathers fluttered.It hovered over Baili Jiuge's head and slowly fell.
"Huang'er!"
Baili Jiuge hadn't seen his good partner for a long time, so he was very happy at the moment, ran to meet him, and combed the Kunshan Snow Phoenix's feathers. "Huang'er, how are you doing recently? Are you all okay?"
"Hey - hey, hey..." Kunshan Xuehuang answered Baili Jiuge with a cry.
She listened carefully, although she never understood why she was able to communicate with the birds, but she didn't bother to think too much about it, and replied with a smile: "As long as they live well, I'm also relying on Zhong Shan these days, I want to help Senior Ghost Doctor, and learn some medical skills to use myself!"
Kunshan Xuehuang sang: "Hey... Hey..."
Baili Jiuge said in amazement: "You said that the senior ghost doctor was too busy with Ziqi's troubles and had no time to talk to me? It's nothing, isn't there still Gu Yan, and Gu Yan can also be entertained by Ziqi."
"Bee, blah... blah... blah..."
"Hahaha, Gu Yan deserves it right. He knows that Ziqi is the kind of person who will fight against him the more he restricts her, and he always wants to overwhelm Ziqi. He deserves to be called uncle all the time!"
While talking and laughing, Baili Jiuge only felt the warm current pouring into his heart, and his mood became much more comfortable. He couldn't help patting Xuehuang's head and laughing wantonly: "You are the most caring, you must know that there are many troubles in Chaodu. Now, I want to be cool and unrestrained, but I can’t. After all, there are some friendships that I can’t let go of. It’s nothing! But fortunately, I can spend these days in Zhongshan, and I can relax and relax. Let me be more willful! Come on! , let’s go to the cliff together to blow some air, and I’ll tell you about my experience during this time.”
This person reached a consensus and came to the edge of the cliff.
Baili Jiuge sat on the ground cheerfully, kicking with her two calves in the air, and Kunshan Xuehuang lay beside her, listening intently to her narration, tweeting a few times from time to time to express her opinions.
Just chatting like this, time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the sky to completely darken.
The bright moon sprinkled light and clear light, and that color shone on the back of Baili Jiuge's hand, indistinguishable from the moonlight.She suddenly felt that such an elegant and gentle moonlight actually resembled someone.And at this moment, it was that person who called her.
"Miss Heifeng."
When hearing this intoxicating voice, Baili Jiuge felt like being petrified.Turning his face away, he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
No way, Mo Li actually... found this place? !
He almost blurted out "Why are you here?", swallowed the words quickly, and changed his words: "So it's Prince Zhou, I haven't seen you for almost two years, do you still remember me?"
"Ah."
Mo Li came slowly, and said lightly: "Miss Heifeng, last time you broke into my other courtyard in order to ask for medicine for your best friend and sister. I still remember what happened at that time. I also heard afterward that your sister has recovered. , even if you think about it, your wish has been fulfilled."
Baili Jiuge was startled, recalling the scenes at that time, and thinking of cutting a piece of flesh from his own arm with his own hands... At this moment, his heart ached, and he said: "Although I really thank you, but, I feel that I I should say sorry to you."
"Don't worry about it." He walked over to her, looked down at her, and then at Kunshan Xuehuang. After a moment of silence, he said suddenly: "I remember seeing the real face of Miss Heifeng at that time, and I vaguely knew that it was her. Your biological mother stabbed your face with a knife..."
Baili Jiuge's face under the bamboo hat changed.Mo Li, why did you mention this suddenly?
He said: "There are many strange people who are good at medical skills in the Jianghu, and Miss Heifeng will always have that scar?" Looking at Baili Jiuge's body that had begun to tremble slightly, he still did not change his face and said: "Yeah. Looking at it from below, covering up the face with a bamboo hat is not as good as a complete cure after all."
"What did you say?!" Baili Jiuge stood up abruptly, his voice raised uncontrollably.Mo Li's words touched her vivid childhood memories, as if time went back to that frosty day in the Bingxu year, the cruel mother, the blade in her hand was as cold as the moonlight on that day...
She almost roared angrily: "I thought you would know more or less, that people in the world judge people by their appearance! If I am still beautiful, I'm afraid I won't hear a word of the truth every day! It's better to be ugly than to wear a good-looking appearance. It's ugly, just to know who treats me sincerely!"
She yelled wildly, and because her body was shaking so much, the bamboo hat suddenly fell off, and a hideous scar stretched from the corner of her eye to her chin, and it just rushed straight into Mo Li's eyes.
But he looked at her squarely, just like two years ago.The only difference is that at that time, his eyes were calm and unruffled, but at this moment, the bottom of his clear eyes seemed to be filled with deep pools of water, full of distress and pity.
Xiu frowned, "Miss Heifeng, you misunderstood." He couldn't help raising his hand, as if to reach her cheek.
But Baili Jiuge grabbed Mo Li's wrist stiffly and stopped him.
"It's windy and cold on the mountain. You're not in good health. You should go back earlier. Huang'er and I will take you back." After all, I didn't want to say more. The heart is also cold.
I can't see through Mo Li, and Mo Li doesn't understand me at all... As expected, I'm just wishful thinking!But he is so gentle and considerate to everyone...
Taking a deep breath, she no longer wanted to entangle with Mo Li, after all, she had made up her mind to accompany him all the way, so she could only let go of Mo Li's hand and let his hand fall on her face.
His temperature is still so cold, but he caresses his white face so softly, the rough calluses under his fingertips leave a subtle touch, penetrating into Baili Jiuge's heart, there is an inexplicable warmth meaning.
This kind of concern made Baili Jiuge suddenly aware of something, his mind was instantly clear, he forgot the unhappiness just now, and also forgot that he had to hide his identity, so he said with a casual smile: "You really care about me , In fact, knowing this, I am very happy in my heart.”
She didn't want to be angry with Mo Li any more, she leaned into his arms, hugged him and said, "Actually, the scar on my face has been healed a long time ago, and now it's a fake, just to see the scar on my face." There are a few guys in the world who don't judge by appearances. I'm glad you're one of them."
Just as he was talking, at this moment, he heard a burst of rapid wind breaking in the distance.
Baili Jiuge was startled, before he could speak, he heard the man's roar again——
"Damn it, you let go of my junior sister, how dare you touch her!"
It's a lone goose!
Hundreds of miles and nine songs are instantly empowered by dark clouds.Gu Yan, why did he come here at this time, don't let him misunderstand what hurt Mo Li!
Hastily turned around to explain, but was shocked to see Gu Yan coming through the wind, with a murderous look all over his body, and he was about to slap Mo Li.
It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Baili Jiuge suddenly pushed Mo Li away, jumped forward, and just received Gu Yan's palm so forcefully.
Blood spurted out, and his slender body was sent flying, falling off in mid-air like a falling kite.
"Heifeng!" Gu Yan was stunned for an instant, his hands and feet were cold from fright, and he quickly flew forward, ignoring the blood spattered by Baili Jiuge all over his face, at this moment he just wanted to slap himself three times.
But that soft falling figure fell into Mo Li's arms.He hugged her tightly, his moon-like eyes were filled with a stormy expression, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Feeling that Mo Li was suppressing his emotions, Baili Jiuge didn't care about adjusting his inner breath, and looked up at him.From his eyes, she seemed to see deep distress and reluctance, maybe it was an illusion, but she was very happy in her heart.
Lifting her little hand with great effort, she brushed across Mo Li's pale face, and said in a brisk voice, "I pushed you out just now, you...you didn't fall, did you?"
Mo Li's expression tightened again, as if thousands of words rushed out of his mouth the next moment.
But Gu Yan suddenly strode over, grabbed Baili Jiuge, and flew away.
Baili Jiuge hurriedly wanted to stop, "Gu Yan, you... what are you doing!"
"Stop talking!" Gu Yan pointed out and sealed Baili Jiuge's acupoints, with a self-blaming expression on his face: "It's all my fault, the person who should be beaten didn't hit you, and I beat you! Now take you to the senior ghost doctor, and heal you quickly!"
After finishing speaking, he added angrily: "Stay away from that medicine jar in the future! He can't take care of you, he will only hurt you!"
"No..." Baili Jiuge retorted hoarsely: "Don't talk about Mo Li like that...he was also sick because of the Yin-Yang curse... Besides, it was because I had to take away the nine-color Ganoderma lucidum he used to hang his life. Caused him to be like this! I owe him..."
Gu Yan snorted fiercely, hugged Baili Jiuge tightly, and said while riding the wind, "You are just too kind, and you will stab someone in the ribs if you spot it! Which one of your friends has not received your deep kindness?" Yes? I don’t deny that you did this, but have you ever thought about whether you have thought about yourself, whether you have thought about me and Master! Can Master and I feel better when you are suffering and hurting outside?! Cut off the relationship, you and him are not in the same world at all, and besides, he is very unpredictable, let alone you, even I can't understand it! You say that a straightforward and stupid person like you , If you like someone, what is the difference from moths to a flame?!"
Baili Jiuge was startled.Moths to the flame, this sharp word was like a knife piercing her heart, and she herself, why didn't she feel this way? !
However, she has always determined that whoever she decides will do her best to the end. This is her principle and something she will never change!What's more, she has lost the red silk that was good to her, so should she also abandon Mo Li? !
"Impossible! Gu Yan, I won't listen to you about this matter... You let me down, this little injury is nothing! Mo Li is not in good health, and I am worried that you will throw him on the cliff. I'm going back!"
"Don't think about it!" Gu Yan was so angry that his face turned green, he simply clicked on Baili Jiuge's sleeping point, and when she passed out, he cursed angrily: "You can't tell who is your own, in vain I have always regarded you as my own younger sister, but I don't know how to cherish myself all day long, and always bruise myself all over for others, you girl, can't you give me something to do!"
He cursed fiercely, his feet were like shooting stars chasing the moon, and in the shortest time, he sent Baili Jiuge to the ghost doctor's thatched hut.
When the ghost doctor saw this scene, he was surprised, and hurriedly took the medicine box outside the hut to treat Baili Jiuge, for fear of waking up Ziqi who was sleeping in the house, which would be a disservice to him.
Gu Yan leaned Baili Jiuge under a tree and released her acupuncture points.She woke up slowly, and the first thing she saw was the ghost doctor's brows gathered like dark clouds.He was checking her pulse, and then quickly took out a pill and fed it into her mouth.
Baili Jiuge swallowed the pill in a daze.Uh... so bitter!She found herself a little afraid of taking medicine.
The ghost doctor finally showed a smile, and while writing the prescription, he said to Gu Yan: "You follow this prescription, pick it from the herbs that the old man picked yesterday, pack it in a small silver hanging bag in the kitchen, and remember to cook it slowly. The old man has already melted away Miss Heifeng's bruises, and now I can use some internal energy for her."
Gu Yan got up quickly and went with the prescription.
The ghost doctor said again: "You should also reflect on this matter, how could you accidentally injure Heifeng."
Gu Yan rolled his eyes, he had already scolded himself ten thousand times in his heart, he didn't have time to talk now, the business is to boil the medicine as soon as possible.
But at this moment, the cry of Kunshan Xuehuang was heard not far away.
Several people looked over and saw the white phoenix coming by the wind, its nimble wings cut through the night, the white color was like a short-lived epiphyllum.What surprised Guyan and the others was that Kunshan Xuehuang actually brought Mo Li over.
Gu Yan finally exploded at this moment, and yelled: "Get out! Get out of Zhongshan! If you don't get involved with my junior sister again, I will kill you! And you, Kunshan Xuehuang, you are a foodie! When Heifeng was injured, you Instead of sending her back, but bringing outsiders here, I should really pluck your hair!"
Kunshan Xuehuang blew a few times indifferently, fluttered its wings, landed beside Baili Jiuge, and leaned towards her thoughtfully.
"Huang'er, I'm fine." Baili Jiuge smiled weakly. At this moment, the internal energy from the ghost doctor Dudu was continuously flowing into her body. She felt much better, and raised her hand to stroke Kunshan Xuehuang's beak. Then he looked at Mo Li.
Across a distance of more than ten feet, the lines of sight intertwined, entangled like inextricable strings under the bleak moonlight.Baili Jiuge suddenly felt short of breath, and felt that Mo Li was looking at her with soft and delicate eyes, as if he wanted to transfer all her injuries to him.She could see that he was blaming himself, caring, and heartbroken, but he was trying his best to suppress his emotions...
Finally said: "I don't worry about you."
It was this sentence that completely shocked Baili Jiuge, only felt that the moonlight was dazzling white, and the joy in his heart couldn't stop bursting out.
The Gu Yan at the door couldn't bear it any longer, and when he was about to rush over to chase people away, he was suddenly pushed down by the people in the room.
It was Ziqi, who squeezed out of the room beside him, yawned and complained: "I finally got a sleep and was woken up! Uncle Guyan, what are you doing blocking the door when you have nothing to do? Don't tell me someone is coming at night." To find fault, let me see which path it is on—" It stopped abruptly.
Ziqi gasped, and stood by the door as if petrified, in unparalleled astonishment.
"You, you..." She stared at Mo Li, her voice raised in surprise.
Several people fell silent and looked at Ziqi in puzzlement.
She asked excitedly but eagerly: "...Mo Li?"
Baili Jiuge was taken aback.Why, does Ziqi know Mo Li?
She subconsciously stared at Mo Li, but saw that he was also staring at Ziqi closely, as if he was judging something, his eyes were unpredictable, and finally said calmly: "Are you... Could it be Ziqi?"
"It's me!" Ziqi yelled wildly, but actually ran over and flew into Mo Li's arms.
At this moment, Baili Jiuge was speechless in astonishment, his mind was filled with paste, and he never expected such a scene to appear.
Ziqi's thin voice was filled with extreme excitement: "Mo Li, it's really Mo Li, I didn't expect you to recognize me! I haven't seen you for several years, and I thought you wouldn't recognize me!"
Mo Li smiled, but naturally caressed the top of Ziqi's head, and said softly, "You have grown up a lot."
"Of course!" Ziqi said, "I was only ten years old when you left, and now I'm over fifteen! But having said that, I feel that you have changed a lot, and you are more mature than before. Introverted and calm!"
"Really..." Mo Li smiled lightly, with a slight gentleness between his brows, and asked softly, "Why did you come here?"
Ziqi looked up at Mo Li, and replied unhappily: "I have been chasing Senior Brother Ziqian for so long but I haven't found anyone. Later, when I learned that he went to the capital of Shang Dynasty, I planned to follow. But at this time, I heard that There are people selling soul-returning grass in the black market in Loulan, so I hurried over there, thinking that I must buy soul-returning grass to treat your illness!"
Then he spoke like a crackling marble.
"You don't know what the black market in Loulan is like. That pot of soul-returning grass is actually sold by Tianshan Poison Girl, one of our Huagu Qisu! The Tianshan Poison Girl sister is really, she is from Qihua Valley, but what did you say? She urgently needs a lot of money to buy elixir to treat a person who is very important to her! Hey, is it that the person she wants to save is important, and the person I want to save is not important? She even talked to me like a lion and asked me for 5 Two taels of gold! I didn’t know how to do it. I even robbed more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the Loulan Kingdom to get 5 taels. I finally bought the Soul-Returning Grass, and I was wanted by the whole country of Loulan.”
"Those police officers are too dedicated, and they chased me all the way to Shangguo! I wanted to cut off their heads, but when I thought about them, they were just public officials, so I played with them for two months out of mercy. The hide-and-seek, this is how to get rid of everyone! Then I came to Uncle Ghost Doctor to raise the soul-returning grass. I didn’t sleep for three nights, and finally managed to stimulate the flowers. The flowers of the soul-returning grass are very beautiful , Mo Li, I’ll bring it right away, you must take it with you when you bring it back, and absorb its vitality every day, it’s much more useful than the Nine-Color Ganoderma lucidum!”
After saying that, he rushed into the house like flying to bring back the soul grass, and knocked the lone goose at the door to one side.
Baili Jiuge was already stunned, staring intently at Ziqi rushing into the house and bringing out the soul-returning grass.The bright flowers couldn't attract her attention, and there were a lot of thoughts in her heart at this moment.
How stupid I am, I didn't know that Ziqi's soul-returning grass was bought for Mo Li!How many people are there who have been under the Yin-Yang curse since childhood?But I was so stupid that I didn't even think of this!
But that's good too, isn't it?Mo Li's illness should be cured...
He couldn't help breaking into a smile, clutching his still aching chest, slowly got up, and walked towards Ziqi with the support of the ghost doctor, and said as he walked, "Ziqi, thank you for helping Mo Li."
At this moment, his son Qi had already picked the flowers of the soul-returning grass, found a cloth pouch from somewhere, put the flowers in it, made a sachet, and stuffed the sachet directly into Mo Li's skirt.
After finishing all this work, she looked at Baili Jiuge, and said in shock, "Sister Heifeng, you...your real face is like this, why is there a scar? Who did it, why didn't you heal it? !"
Baili Jiuge didn't want to explain much, so he had to repeat it again: "I'll talk about this later, anyway, thank you for helping Mo Li."
Ziqi didn't ask any more, and said with a smile: "Sister Heifeng, you don't need to thank me. I was an orphan since I was a child, and all my family members died. Mo Li took good care of me just like my own brother! For Mo Li, a pot of return Soul grass is nothing at all!"
Baili Jiuge couldn't help asking in amazement: "Haven't you been in Epiphyllum Valley since you were a child? Epiphyllum Valley is in Heluo Country, why do you know Mo Li so well?"
Ziqi smiled and replied: "What's so strange about this? I am also from the rivers and lakes, and I go everywhere. Just like sister Heifeng, don't you also have friends all over the world?"
makes sense.Baili Jiuge nodded, not bothering to doubt anything, so he took Ziqi's words seriously.
But Gu Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly flew up, as if impulsively wanting to attack Mo Li.
Ziqi's face changed, and a thin silver thread suddenly flew out from between his five fingers, stabbing at Gu Yan!
There was an ear-piercing sound, the sound was like cracking silk.Gu Yan rolled up his sleeve and shot more than a dozen wild goose feathers, which collided with Ziqi's silver thread, and the silver thread was immediately returned to Ziqi's hand.
The strong rebound hurt Ziqi, she staggered a few steps, was supported by Mo Li from behind, and there were bright red bloodstains between her five fingers.
Mo Li's eyes darkened, "Zi Qi, are you injured?"
Ziqi smiled and said: "It's okay!" Then he turned his face and scolded Gu Yan: "Hey! You hate it, okay, what's so great about being higher than me, you are older than me! Uncle Gu Yan, I can tell you You, you are all from Seven Flowers Valley, don't take the lead in the internal strife!"
She spread her arms wide to protect Mo Li behind her. Because her stature had not yet fully grown, she was only as tall as Mo Li's chest.She scolded: "I don't care where Mo Li is hindering you, anyway, I won't allow you to move a finger of him, otherwise I will cut off one of your legs! Hmph!"
"You, you—" Gu Yan was so angry that he almost turned over, and almost wanted to pick up the broom by the door and throw Ziqi all over his face.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, the ghost doctor coughed a few times, which calmed down the two of them.
Baili Jiuge watched the situation develop like this, only felt that one head and two were big, and looking at the night was also heavy, fearing that Mo Li's body would not be able to hold on, so he called Kunshan Xuehuang over and asked it to send Mo Li back .But she was also afraid that the journey would be far away, and what would happen to Mo Li on the way... She decided to go back to the imperial capital with Mo Li.It's just that she can't just go back to Shizi's mansion like this, so after sending him back, she wandered around elsewhere.
So he jumped on Kunshan Xuehuang's back first, and stretched out his hand towards Mo Li.
Gu Yan's expression changed again, and he hurriedly said: "Heifeng, what are you doing?!"
"Send Mo Li back to the imperial capital!" She smiled at Gu Yan and said, "You don't have to worry, the senior ghost doctor helped me resolve it just now, senior ghost doctor, thank you! And Ziqi, are you Do you want to follow me to the capital, or what?"
Ziqi stomped his feet and scolded: "Don't go now, I'm exhausted these days, I need to sleep well for a few days before I talk about it! When I recover my energy, I will rush to the capital, and I must dig out Senior Brother Ziqian !"
If so, let her go.Baili Jiuge looked at Mo Li again, just stretched out his hand, waiting for him to come.
At this moment, it seemed that he saw a distressed but doting smile on the corner of his lips, so hazy like a hallucination, until his cold hand held hers, Baili Jiuge was startled suddenly, and smiled , pulling Mo Li onto Kunshan Xuehuang's back.
She instructed: "When Huang'er flies up, the wind will be very strong. I will sit in front to help you block the wind, and your crane cloak, don't tie it tight."
As he spoke, he did it himself, tightening Mo Li's clothes.This scene fell into the eyes of several people. Gu Yan was speechless to the point of not wanting to speak, but Ziqi suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered something: "Sister Heifeng, why are you so familiar with Mo Li? I've never seen you take such good care of any man!"
Baili Jiuge's heart skipped a beat, fearing that if Ziqi continued to speak, he would be ruined, so he quickly waved his hand and ordered Kunshan Xuehuang to leave quickly.
Xuehuang spread her wings, and with a long chirp like a flute, she rose slowly, rushed up to the sky smoothly, and headed towards Chaodu.
Only then did Baili Jiuge breathe a sigh of relief, fearing that Mo Li would ask her something, she just looked forward without even looking back, but she didn't know that the people behind her had already seen through everything, and now she sighed lightly, Going around her waist, she embraced this slender body towards herself.
"Mo Li, what are you doing?"
Baili Jiuge was surprised.But before he could say the next sentence, his whole body was already in Mo Li's arms.
She froze involuntarily, feeling that he covered her with the crane cloak, the coldness and warmth were like two gentle winds, blowing into the depths of Baili Jiuge's heart.She didn't know that her face was already red, but she only knew that the two of them were snuggled up under the warm crane cloak, sticking tightly together, and the night wind blowing in front of them seemed to be much smaller...
Later, outside the imperial capital, Baili Jiuge saw Mo Li's carriage, and Yufeng stood firmly in front of the carriage, like a stone statue.
When he saw Baili Jiuge for the first time, Yufeng's face changed suddenly, he drew his sword and pointed at him, and shouted: "It turned out to be you! Miss Heifeng, what you did in the past has harmed His Royal Highness too much. At that time, His Highness I have given you the Nine Colors Ganoderma lucidum, what do you want now?"
Mo Li held Baili Jiuge in his arms, walked towards Yufeng, carefully retracted the crane cloak, and said calmly, "Yufeng, let's go back home."
Yu Feng was a little unwilling, but he also understood that Mo Li didn't want him to say more, so he helped Mo Li back into the carriage, glared at Baili Jiuge, drove away in the carriage.
The carriage went away, but the people in the carriage opened the curtains, their moon-like pupils had a longing gaze, passing through the darkness, entwined with Baili Jiuge's gaze.
At this moment, she thought about it, and suddenly felt that her heart was very warm, as if the lingering scent of the crane cloak and the fragrance of epiphyllum were still left on her body, coiling around her body, although it was faint, as if she couldn't figure it out. But it will be firmly planted in her heart inadvertently, and a peach blossom will bloom, and she will never be able to let go...
But suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Baili Jiuge realized that he was in the shape of a black phoenix after all, why did Mo Li look at her as if he was looking at "Jiuge"?Could it be that Mo Li saw through her as the mother bustard said?
The little face turned red like a pomegranate, and now Mo Li was gone, Baili Jiuge wanted to smash the jar.
Later, the night gradually darkened.
Baili Jiuge changed back into a red dress, put on a human skin mask, and walked along the long street of Chaodu.
There are only a few pedestrians left on the street, and the night watchman is beating the gong and patrolling the street.
Baili Jiuge looked up at the sky full of stars, with the night wind blowing, not sure where he should go.Going back to the Fangfei Hall, and fearing that Gu Lian hadn't calmed down yet, it seemed inappropriate to go to the owner of the rice shop on Nanshidao Street.After thinking about it, I decided to turn to the night on the street and go back to Zhongshan.
But as he walked, he suddenly heard a familiar rhythm, which was the sound of wooden wheels rolling on the ground.
Baili Jiuge couldn't believe it, looked quickly, and really saw a desolate figure emerging from the dark night, that person had waist-length curly hair and long eyelashes, was sitting in a wheelchair, coming slowly.
"Fire?!" Baili Jiuge rushed up to greet him, squatted down, took Yin Liehuo's hand, and asked, "Why are you still wandering around the street at such a late hour? There is no attendant around you, how amazing is that?" it is good!"
Yin Liehuo smiled softly, blinked his eyelashes, and said in a soft voice: "I'm going to pick up my adoptive father back home..."
"Master Zuoxiang? Is he still outside at this late hour?"
"Yes." Yin Liehuo pointed to the front, lowered his eyebrows and eyes slightly, and complained: "Father is diligent in government, loves the people, and devotes himself to everything, but these days, he has not succeeded in writing to His Majesty, so he has to visit His Majesty's uncle, Prince Yu, and want to plead with Prince Yu. Can help submit a letter of remonstrance."
Baili Jiuge was stunned for a moment, he had heard that Yin Zuoxiang was upright and loved the people like a son, so he must have worked hard for a long time to remonstrate Yin Haoyi, that scum.But it was Yin Haoyi... "Why didn't Yin Haoyi read Yin Zuoxiang's letter of remonstrance?"
Yin Liehuo mocked: "With Baili Qingping around, how can we expect him to revive Chao Gang?"
Baili Jiuge is clear, and he can't help but think of Empress Yuan in the palace.It's really helpless, such an upright and respectful woman, but still can't control Baili Qingping who is seductive and seductive, it seems that Yin Haoyi is really a scum, and should be kicked from the throne!
Just as I was thinking about it, there were people walking on the street ahead.
As soon as Yin Liehuo heard the footsteps, he knew it was Yin Zuoxiang, and quickly called out: "Father."
Yin Zuoxiang took a light breath, "Agni?" He walked over quickly.
Baili Jiuge also bowed his hands and bowed. Taking a closer look at Yin Zuoxiang, he seemed to be thinner and sallow than the last time he saw him, his cheekbones were more prominent, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Baili Jiuge looked very dazzling, and couldn't help saying: "Emperor Zhaoyi was not a good bird in the first place, and now he is becoming more and more stupid. Even if Mr. Zuoxiang vomited his heart out, it may not be able to make him return from his lost way." That kind of person is not worthy of being an emperor at all, so why not replace him with Yin Haochen!"
Yin Zuoxiang's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "You must never say this again! If someone spreads it, not only will you suffer, but His Royal Highness will also be implicated."
Baili Jiuge was taken aback for a moment, and he also knew that he had to look forward and backward when speaking and doing things in the capital, which was really annoying.If it wasn't for the fear of implicating Yin Haochen, she would definitely continue talking.
Yin Liehuo ended the conversation in a timely manner, and said: "It's getting late, I saw that my father hadn't returned to the mansion, so I found it on my own initiative. Father, is it okay for Jiu Ge to stay at Zuo Xiang's mansion tonight?"
Yin Zuoxiang smiled kindly: "Of course, if the imperial concubine is determined not to return to the imperial palace, you are very welcome to stay here."
Baili Jiuge was overjoyed.Just right!Have a place to live tonight!
Then he said: "Thank you Yin Zuoxiang! I greeted Mo Li and I won't go back tonight." Then he pushed Yin Liehuo's wheelchair, lowered his head slightly, and smiled brightly: "Liehuo, you can go back tonight again." I'm going to squeeze a quilt with you, I sleep as peacefully as ever!"
Yin Liehuo couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Baili Jiuge with a gentle smile, wanting to tell her that she actually didn't sleep well at all, either squeezing others or pushing herself against the wall.
Laughing and laughing all the way to relieve the pressure, the three of them went back to Zuo Xiangfu together. The hostess of the mansion, Mrs. Huo, was standing at the door waiting for her husband to return. When she saw the three of them coming back together, a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly welcomed them in. A supper was brought.
So this night, the four of them sat around a table and ate supper together. The atmosphere was indescribably simple and warm.As for Baili Jiuge, because he was very tired after the day, he fell asleep after eating supper.
At midnight, the study room of Zuo Xiangfu was still lit. There were three ordinary white candles, which were lit on Yin Zuoxiang's desk. Even the tray was just an ordinary plate.Yin Zuoxiang was wearing a middle coat and a robe, and he was still sitting in front of the table with many cracks, writing something.
The flame of the candle was too dim and flickering, so he could only squint to see each word clearly.
"Father, let's have some tea."
The sound of wooden wheels rolling came from the outside to the inside. Yin Liehuo came to the table with tea in his hands, his brows could not be stretched, and he murmured: "Day and night, father is working hard to write the letter of advice. If It’s fine if these letters of remonstrance can reach Emperor Zhaoyi. The fact is, he is too disappointing after all.”
Yin Zuoxiang sighed, looked up at his daughter, and replied sadly: "The Holy Majesty is still young, and he will inevitably take detours and wrong paths. As a father, as his elder, and as his cousin, even if it is heart-wrenching, he will do it for me." For the sake of the country and the country of the great merchants."
"Jiangshan Sheji...?" Yin Liehuo's voice was as cool as the frost that fell on a winter night, "Jiangshan Sheji is for those who are capable, and people like His Majesty..." The words behind did not come out, But it already had a cold breath, freezing the surrounding air.
Yin Zuoxiang couldn't help but stare at Yin Liehuo, and felt that his daughter seemed to have grown up a lot in the past two years, and the aura emanating from her was no longer gloomy and lifeless, but like...a little bit more Fighting spirit and purpose.
He suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked: "Lenghuo, my father once heard people say that when my father was away on business, you often invited the son of Zhou to visit the mansion, is there such a thing?"
"Yes." Yin Liehuo admitted unhurriedly, and whispered quietly: "People who are also degraded, it is easier to get acquainted with each other, and Jiu Ge and I became friends in this way."
Yin Zuoxiang nodded subconsciously, his eyes darkened, but he didn't ask any more questions, and continued to focus on writing the letter of advice.Every word, whether it is advocating the construction of water conservancy, paving roads and bridges, or strengthening national education, was put forward by him after careful thinking and planning.
Looking at his dedicated father under the lamp, Yin Liehuo suddenly sighed.At this moment, she has nothing else to ask for, but hopes that tomorrow this letter of remonstrance will be delivered to Emperor Zhaoyi, so that her father's painstaking efforts can see the light of day.
Suddenly I heard Yin Zuoxiang say: "Go and rest quickly, there is still a little bit left to be a father, go to bed after finishing writing."
"Father, I want to stay here and wait for you to rest."
Yin Zuoxiang smiled kindly: "Lenghuo, you know your filial piety as a father, you don't have to stay with me here, go and persuade your mother to sleep first, I will go later."
Yin Liehuo thought for a while, nodded and left, and left in the wheelchair.
Watching Yin Liehuo's figure disappear into the night, Yin Zuoxiang picked up the pen and filled it with ink. At the end of the letter of remonstrance, he wrote two lines of vivid and powerful words with doubled force——
"The fox charms the lord, and the court is weak."
"Admonish Your Majesty bitterly, alienate Concubine Ning!"
The moment the pen was written, a drop of sweat slid down the forehead. I don't know if it was because the sixteen characters were too hard, or because the content was too sharp.
In the end, Yin Zuoxiang just put down his pen, covered the inkstone, put the remonstrance book into a cloth bag, and packed up the desk.After everything was settled, I sighed and blew out the candles, and went to bed.
The next day, Baili Jiuge was the first one to wake up in the Zuoxiang Mansion. For some reason, he didn’t sleep well last night. He woke up seven or eight times after dream after dream. Breathe the fresh air in the small garden of the mansion.
After breakfast together, Huo's servant Yin Zuoxiang put on official robes, and the family sent him to the gate of the mansion.
Before leaving, Yin Zuoxiang suddenly stopped, and then came back, pulled Huo Shi into his arms.
This rare scene aroused the exclamation of everyone present, even Yin Liehuo opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Father...?"
"No... I'm fine." Yin Zuo seemed to realize something, let go of Huo Shi, but reluctantly lifted her bangs, kissed her forehead, thousands of words piled up on her lips, and finally only soft Say a few words aloud: "Madam has been working hard all this time."
Huo Shi has always been dedicated and affectionate. Hearing such affectionate words at this moment, he was instantly moved into a mess, wiped his tears and said with a smile: "What is the master talking about? I married a concubine against all opinions, and even though I later learned that my concubine would not have a child, I still dote on my concubine." She spoke softly, and threw herself into Yin Zuoxiang's arms again, crying He said: "Looking at the capital, those officials who are not as high as the master have three wives and four concubines, but the master has always only had one concubine...Master, you know that no matter what the concubine does, it is not hard, because the concubine can't do anything. Repay your favor to my concubine!"
Huo wept like a begonia covered with dew, and Yin Zuoxiang's lapel was wet with tears.
He suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, the sour wind poured into his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, he forced himself not to say too much, he had to go to the palace to give an admonition.
So he slowly pushed Huo Shi away, smiled and comforted him, and spoke softly to Yin Liehuo, and then told the servants in the family to take good care of Huo Shi and Yin Liehuo before boarding the chariot Car, went to the palace.
Baili Jiuge was also watching, Yin Zuoxiang and Huo's affection made her suddenly think of Meng Fu and Hongxiao, at this moment her heart felt as if hit hard by a hammer, and her breathing stopped in pain.
Hung Hom, Meng Fu...why would such a determined couple fail to become family members, but would die at the hands of despicable people instead? !I have always believed that there is a righteous way in the dark, but why do the fateful mandarin ducks go to the underworld together, while the scum are still living happily?
The little hand couldn't help but clenched tightly, Baili Jiuge really wanted to tear the sky open to see where God's eyes are.Also because of the emotional turmoil at the moment, he didn't notice Yin Liehuo's expression.
Yin Liehuo was looking at the chariot going away, his heart was being eroded by uneasiness.Just now her father's behavior was so weird that she felt like he was explaining the funeral...!
(End of this chapter)
at dusk.
The red sun gradually sinks into the western mountains, and the sunset glow is like cinnabar spilled from an overturned paint box, the color is thick and warm.The slanting sun sets in the west and the bright moon rises in the east. Day and night, red and blue interweave into a magnificent picture scroll, covering the rolling Zhongshan Mountain.
Under an old willow tree, Baili Jiuge was squatting there, digging the soil under the tree, digging out a cloth bag bit by bit.
Opening the cloth bag, inside was a black gauze skirt with wide sleeves, a bamboo hat decorated with black gauze, and a scar that looked like it was real.
Now that she is far away from the court capital and has come to Zhongshan, she doesn't need to be Bai Qiang, and she doesn't need to write Baili Jiuge anymore.
The black veil was flipped, the black hair was flung behind her head, Baili Jiuge turned into a black phoenix again, her sleeves were dancing in the wind, looking at the magnificent beauty of Zhongshan Mountain, leaping up with strides, stepping on the branches, creeping up the clouds .
Halfway up the mountain, suddenly there was a bird singing like a flute.
She followed the prestige and saw that it was the Kunshan Snow Phoenix flying gracefully, with a slight flap of its wings, thousands of white feathers fluttered.It hovered over Baili Jiuge's head and slowly fell.
"Huang'er!"
Baili Jiuge hadn't seen his good partner for a long time, so he was very happy at the moment, ran to meet him, and combed the Kunshan Snow Phoenix's feathers. "Huang'er, how are you doing recently? Are you all okay?"
"Hey - hey, hey..." Kunshan Xuehuang answered Baili Jiuge with a cry.
She listened carefully, although she never understood why she was able to communicate with the birds, but she didn't bother to think too much about it, and replied with a smile: "As long as they live well, I'm also relying on Zhong Shan these days, I want to help Senior Ghost Doctor, and learn some medical skills to use myself!"
Kunshan Xuehuang sang: "Hey... Hey..."
Baili Jiuge said in amazement: "You said that the senior ghost doctor was too busy with Ziqi's troubles and had no time to talk to me? It's nothing, isn't there still Gu Yan, and Gu Yan can also be entertained by Ziqi."
"Bee, blah... blah... blah..."
"Hahaha, Gu Yan deserves it right. He knows that Ziqi is the kind of person who will fight against him the more he restricts her, and he always wants to overwhelm Ziqi. He deserves to be called uncle all the time!"
While talking and laughing, Baili Jiuge only felt the warm current pouring into his heart, and his mood became much more comfortable. He couldn't help patting Xuehuang's head and laughing wantonly: "You are the most caring, you must know that there are many troubles in Chaodu. Now, I want to be cool and unrestrained, but I can’t. After all, there are some friendships that I can’t let go of. It’s nothing! But fortunately, I can spend these days in Zhongshan, and I can relax and relax. Let me be more willful! Come on! , let’s go to the cliff together to blow some air, and I’ll tell you about my experience during this time.”
This person reached a consensus and came to the edge of the cliff.
Baili Jiuge sat on the ground cheerfully, kicking with her two calves in the air, and Kunshan Xuehuang lay beside her, listening intently to her narration, tweeting a few times from time to time to express her opinions.
Just chatting like this, time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the sky to completely darken.
The bright moon sprinkled light and clear light, and that color shone on the back of Baili Jiuge's hand, indistinguishable from the moonlight.She suddenly felt that such an elegant and gentle moonlight actually resembled someone.And at this moment, it was that person who called her.
"Miss Heifeng."
When hearing this intoxicating voice, Baili Jiuge felt like being petrified.Turning his face away, he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
No way, Mo Li actually... found this place? !
He almost blurted out "Why are you here?", swallowed the words quickly, and changed his words: "So it's Prince Zhou, I haven't seen you for almost two years, do you still remember me?"
"Ah."
Mo Li came slowly, and said lightly: "Miss Heifeng, last time you broke into my other courtyard in order to ask for medicine for your best friend and sister. I still remember what happened at that time. I also heard afterward that your sister has recovered. , even if you think about it, your wish has been fulfilled."
Baili Jiuge was startled, recalling the scenes at that time, and thinking of cutting a piece of flesh from his own arm with his own hands... At this moment, his heart ached, and he said: "Although I really thank you, but, I feel that I I should say sorry to you."
"Don't worry about it." He walked over to her, looked down at her, and then at Kunshan Xuehuang. After a moment of silence, he said suddenly: "I remember seeing the real face of Miss Heifeng at that time, and I vaguely knew that it was her. Your biological mother stabbed your face with a knife..."
Baili Jiuge's face under the bamboo hat changed.Mo Li, why did you mention this suddenly?
He said: "There are many strange people who are good at medical skills in the Jianghu, and Miss Heifeng will always have that scar?" Looking at Baili Jiuge's body that had begun to tremble slightly, he still did not change his face and said: "Yeah. Looking at it from below, covering up the face with a bamboo hat is not as good as a complete cure after all."
"What did you say?!" Baili Jiuge stood up abruptly, his voice raised uncontrollably.Mo Li's words touched her vivid childhood memories, as if time went back to that frosty day in the Bingxu year, the cruel mother, the blade in her hand was as cold as the moonlight on that day...
She almost roared angrily: "I thought you would know more or less, that people in the world judge people by their appearance! If I am still beautiful, I'm afraid I won't hear a word of the truth every day! It's better to be ugly than to wear a good-looking appearance. It's ugly, just to know who treats me sincerely!"
She yelled wildly, and because her body was shaking so much, the bamboo hat suddenly fell off, and a hideous scar stretched from the corner of her eye to her chin, and it just rushed straight into Mo Li's eyes.
But he looked at her squarely, just like two years ago.The only difference is that at that time, his eyes were calm and unruffled, but at this moment, the bottom of his clear eyes seemed to be filled with deep pools of water, full of distress and pity.
Xiu frowned, "Miss Heifeng, you misunderstood." He couldn't help raising his hand, as if to reach her cheek.
But Baili Jiuge grabbed Mo Li's wrist stiffly and stopped him.
"It's windy and cold on the mountain. You're not in good health. You should go back earlier. Huang'er and I will take you back." After all, I didn't want to say more. The heart is also cold.
I can't see through Mo Li, and Mo Li doesn't understand me at all... As expected, I'm just wishful thinking!But he is so gentle and considerate to everyone...
Taking a deep breath, she no longer wanted to entangle with Mo Li, after all, she had made up her mind to accompany him all the way, so she could only let go of Mo Li's hand and let his hand fall on her face.
His temperature is still so cold, but he caresses his white face so softly, the rough calluses under his fingertips leave a subtle touch, penetrating into Baili Jiuge's heart, there is an inexplicable warmth meaning.
This kind of concern made Baili Jiuge suddenly aware of something, his mind was instantly clear, he forgot the unhappiness just now, and also forgot that he had to hide his identity, so he said with a casual smile: "You really care about me , In fact, knowing this, I am very happy in my heart.”
She didn't want to be angry with Mo Li any more, she leaned into his arms, hugged him and said, "Actually, the scar on my face has been healed a long time ago, and now it's a fake, just to see the scar on my face." There are a few guys in the world who don't judge by appearances. I'm glad you're one of them."
Just as he was talking, at this moment, he heard a burst of rapid wind breaking in the distance.
Baili Jiuge was startled, before he could speak, he heard the man's roar again——
"Damn it, you let go of my junior sister, how dare you touch her!"
It's a lone goose!
Hundreds of miles and nine songs are instantly empowered by dark clouds.Gu Yan, why did he come here at this time, don't let him misunderstand what hurt Mo Li!
Hastily turned around to explain, but was shocked to see Gu Yan coming through the wind, with a murderous look all over his body, and he was about to slap Mo Li.
It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Baili Jiuge suddenly pushed Mo Li away, jumped forward, and just received Gu Yan's palm so forcefully.
Blood spurted out, and his slender body was sent flying, falling off in mid-air like a falling kite.
"Heifeng!" Gu Yan was stunned for an instant, his hands and feet were cold from fright, and he quickly flew forward, ignoring the blood spattered by Baili Jiuge all over his face, at this moment he just wanted to slap himself three times.
But that soft falling figure fell into Mo Li's arms.He hugged her tightly, his moon-like eyes were filled with a stormy expression, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Feeling that Mo Li was suppressing his emotions, Baili Jiuge didn't care about adjusting his inner breath, and looked up at him.From his eyes, she seemed to see deep distress and reluctance, maybe it was an illusion, but she was very happy in her heart.
Lifting her little hand with great effort, she brushed across Mo Li's pale face, and said in a brisk voice, "I pushed you out just now, you...you didn't fall, did you?"
Mo Li's expression tightened again, as if thousands of words rushed out of his mouth the next moment.
But Gu Yan suddenly strode over, grabbed Baili Jiuge, and flew away.
Baili Jiuge hurriedly wanted to stop, "Gu Yan, you... what are you doing!"
"Stop talking!" Gu Yan pointed out and sealed Baili Jiuge's acupoints, with a self-blaming expression on his face: "It's all my fault, the person who should be beaten didn't hit you, and I beat you! Now take you to the senior ghost doctor, and heal you quickly!"
After finishing speaking, he added angrily: "Stay away from that medicine jar in the future! He can't take care of you, he will only hurt you!"
"No..." Baili Jiuge retorted hoarsely: "Don't talk about Mo Li like that...he was also sick because of the Yin-Yang curse... Besides, it was because I had to take away the nine-color Ganoderma lucidum he used to hang his life. Caused him to be like this! I owe him..."
Gu Yan snorted fiercely, hugged Baili Jiuge tightly, and said while riding the wind, "You are just too kind, and you will stab someone in the ribs if you spot it! Which one of your friends has not received your deep kindness?" Yes? I don’t deny that you did this, but have you ever thought about whether you have thought about yourself, whether you have thought about me and Master! Can Master and I feel better when you are suffering and hurting outside?! Cut off the relationship, you and him are not in the same world at all, and besides, he is very unpredictable, let alone you, even I can't understand it! You say that a straightforward and stupid person like you , If you like someone, what is the difference from moths to a flame?!"
Baili Jiuge was startled.Moths to the flame, this sharp word was like a knife piercing her heart, and she herself, why didn't she feel this way? !
However, she has always determined that whoever she decides will do her best to the end. This is her principle and something she will never change!What's more, she has lost the red silk that was good to her, so should she also abandon Mo Li? !
"Impossible! Gu Yan, I won't listen to you about this matter... You let me down, this little injury is nothing! Mo Li is not in good health, and I am worried that you will throw him on the cliff. I'm going back!"
"Don't think about it!" Gu Yan was so angry that his face turned green, he simply clicked on Baili Jiuge's sleeping point, and when she passed out, he cursed angrily: "You can't tell who is your own, in vain I have always regarded you as my own younger sister, but I don't know how to cherish myself all day long, and always bruise myself all over for others, you girl, can't you give me something to do!"
He cursed fiercely, his feet were like shooting stars chasing the moon, and in the shortest time, he sent Baili Jiuge to the ghost doctor's thatched hut.
When the ghost doctor saw this scene, he was surprised, and hurriedly took the medicine box outside the hut to treat Baili Jiuge, for fear of waking up Ziqi who was sleeping in the house, which would be a disservice to him.
Gu Yan leaned Baili Jiuge under a tree and released her acupuncture points.She woke up slowly, and the first thing she saw was the ghost doctor's brows gathered like dark clouds.He was checking her pulse, and then quickly took out a pill and fed it into her mouth.
Baili Jiuge swallowed the pill in a daze.Uh... so bitter!She found herself a little afraid of taking medicine.
The ghost doctor finally showed a smile, and while writing the prescription, he said to Gu Yan: "You follow this prescription, pick it from the herbs that the old man picked yesterday, pack it in a small silver hanging bag in the kitchen, and remember to cook it slowly. The old man has already melted away Miss Heifeng's bruises, and now I can use some internal energy for her."
Gu Yan got up quickly and went with the prescription.
The ghost doctor said again: "You should also reflect on this matter, how could you accidentally injure Heifeng."
Gu Yan rolled his eyes, he had already scolded himself ten thousand times in his heart, he didn't have time to talk now, the business is to boil the medicine as soon as possible.
But at this moment, the cry of Kunshan Xuehuang was heard not far away.
Several people looked over and saw the white phoenix coming by the wind, its nimble wings cut through the night, the white color was like a short-lived epiphyllum.What surprised Guyan and the others was that Kunshan Xuehuang actually brought Mo Li over.
Gu Yan finally exploded at this moment, and yelled: "Get out! Get out of Zhongshan! If you don't get involved with my junior sister again, I will kill you! And you, Kunshan Xuehuang, you are a foodie! When Heifeng was injured, you Instead of sending her back, but bringing outsiders here, I should really pluck your hair!"
Kunshan Xuehuang blew a few times indifferently, fluttered its wings, landed beside Baili Jiuge, and leaned towards her thoughtfully.
"Huang'er, I'm fine." Baili Jiuge smiled weakly. At this moment, the internal energy from the ghost doctor Dudu was continuously flowing into her body. She felt much better, and raised her hand to stroke Kunshan Xuehuang's beak. Then he looked at Mo Li.
Across a distance of more than ten feet, the lines of sight intertwined, entangled like inextricable strings under the bleak moonlight.Baili Jiuge suddenly felt short of breath, and felt that Mo Li was looking at her with soft and delicate eyes, as if he wanted to transfer all her injuries to him.She could see that he was blaming himself, caring, and heartbroken, but he was trying his best to suppress his emotions...
Finally said: "I don't worry about you."
It was this sentence that completely shocked Baili Jiuge, only felt that the moonlight was dazzling white, and the joy in his heart couldn't stop bursting out.
The Gu Yan at the door couldn't bear it any longer, and when he was about to rush over to chase people away, he was suddenly pushed down by the people in the room.
It was Ziqi, who squeezed out of the room beside him, yawned and complained: "I finally got a sleep and was woken up! Uncle Guyan, what are you doing blocking the door when you have nothing to do? Don't tell me someone is coming at night." To find fault, let me see which path it is on—" It stopped abruptly.
Ziqi gasped, and stood by the door as if petrified, in unparalleled astonishment.
"You, you..." She stared at Mo Li, her voice raised in surprise.
Several people fell silent and looked at Ziqi in puzzlement.
She asked excitedly but eagerly: "...Mo Li?"
Baili Jiuge was taken aback.Why, does Ziqi know Mo Li?
She subconsciously stared at Mo Li, but saw that he was also staring at Ziqi closely, as if he was judging something, his eyes were unpredictable, and finally said calmly: "Are you... Could it be Ziqi?"
"It's me!" Ziqi yelled wildly, but actually ran over and flew into Mo Li's arms.
At this moment, Baili Jiuge was speechless in astonishment, his mind was filled with paste, and he never expected such a scene to appear.
Ziqi's thin voice was filled with extreme excitement: "Mo Li, it's really Mo Li, I didn't expect you to recognize me! I haven't seen you for several years, and I thought you wouldn't recognize me!"
Mo Li smiled, but naturally caressed the top of Ziqi's head, and said softly, "You have grown up a lot."
"Of course!" Ziqi said, "I was only ten years old when you left, and now I'm over fifteen! But having said that, I feel that you have changed a lot, and you are more mature than before. Introverted and calm!"
"Really..." Mo Li smiled lightly, with a slight gentleness between his brows, and asked softly, "Why did you come here?"
Ziqi looked up at Mo Li, and replied unhappily: "I have been chasing Senior Brother Ziqian for so long but I haven't found anyone. Later, when I learned that he went to the capital of Shang Dynasty, I planned to follow. But at this time, I heard that There are people selling soul-returning grass in the black market in Loulan, so I hurried over there, thinking that I must buy soul-returning grass to treat your illness!"
Then he spoke like a crackling marble.
"You don't know what the black market in Loulan is like. That pot of soul-returning grass is actually sold by Tianshan Poison Girl, one of our Huagu Qisu! The Tianshan Poison Girl sister is really, she is from Qihua Valley, but what did you say? She urgently needs a lot of money to buy elixir to treat a person who is very important to her! Hey, is it that the person she wants to save is important, and the person I want to save is not important? She even talked to me like a lion and asked me for 5 Two taels of gold! I didn’t know how to do it. I even robbed more than a dozen high-ranking officials in the Loulan Kingdom to get 5 taels. I finally bought the Soul-Returning Grass, and I was wanted by the whole country of Loulan.”
"Those police officers are too dedicated, and they chased me all the way to Shangguo! I wanted to cut off their heads, but when I thought about them, they were just public officials, so I played with them for two months out of mercy. The hide-and-seek, this is how to get rid of everyone! Then I came to Uncle Ghost Doctor to raise the soul-returning grass. I didn’t sleep for three nights, and finally managed to stimulate the flowers. The flowers of the soul-returning grass are very beautiful , Mo Li, I’ll bring it right away, you must take it with you when you bring it back, and absorb its vitality every day, it’s much more useful than the Nine-Color Ganoderma lucidum!”
After saying that, he rushed into the house like flying to bring back the soul grass, and knocked the lone goose at the door to one side.
Baili Jiuge was already stunned, staring intently at Ziqi rushing into the house and bringing out the soul-returning grass.The bright flowers couldn't attract her attention, and there were a lot of thoughts in her heart at this moment.
How stupid I am, I didn't know that Ziqi's soul-returning grass was bought for Mo Li!How many people are there who have been under the Yin-Yang curse since childhood?But I was so stupid that I didn't even think of this!
But that's good too, isn't it?Mo Li's illness should be cured...
He couldn't help breaking into a smile, clutching his still aching chest, slowly got up, and walked towards Ziqi with the support of the ghost doctor, and said as he walked, "Ziqi, thank you for helping Mo Li."
At this moment, his son Qi had already picked the flowers of the soul-returning grass, found a cloth pouch from somewhere, put the flowers in it, made a sachet, and stuffed the sachet directly into Mo Li's skirt.
After finishing all this work, she looked at Baili Jiuge, and said in shock, "Sister Heifeng, you...your real face is like this, why is there a scar? Who did it, why didn't you heal it? !"
Baili Jiuge didn't want to explain much, so he had to repeat it again: "I'll talk about this later, anyway, thank you for helping Mo Li."
Ziqi didn't ask any more, and said with a smile: "Sister Heifeng, you don't need to thank me. I was an orphan since I was a child, and all my family members died. Mo Li took good care of me just like my own brother! For Mo Li, a pot of return Soul grass is nothing at all!"
Baili Jiuge couldn't help asking in amazement: "Haven't you been in Epiphyllum Valley since you were a child? Epiphyllum Valley is in Heluo Country, why do you know Mo Li so well?"
Ziqi smiled and replied: "What's so strange about this? I am also from the rivers and lakes, and I go everywhere. Just like sister Heifeng, don't you also have friends all over the world?"
makes sense.Baili Jiuge nodded, not bothering to doubt anything, so he took Ziqi's words seriously.
But Gu Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly flew up, as if impulsively wanting to attack Mo Li.
Ziqi's face changed, and a thin silver thread suddenly flew out from between his five fingers, stabbing at Gu Yan!
There was an ear-piercing sound, the sound was like cracking silk.Gu Yan rolled up his sleeve and shot more than a dozen wild goose feathers, which collided with Ziqi's silver thread, and the silver thread was immediately returned to Ziqi's hand.
The strong rebound hurt Ziqi, she staggered a few steps, was supported by Mo Li from behind, and there were bright red bloodstains between her five fingers.
Mo Li's eyes darkened, "Zi Qi, are you injured?"
Ziqi smiled and said: "It's okay!" Then he turned his face and scolded Gu Yan: "Hey! You hate it, okay, what's so great about being higher than me, you are older than me! Uncle Gu Yan, I can tell you You, you are all from Seven Flowers Valley, don't take the lead in the internal strife!"
She spread her arms wide to protect Mo Li behind her. Because her stature had not yet fully grown, she was only as tall as Mo Li's chest.She scolded: "I don't care where Mo Li is hindering you, anyway, I won't allow you to move a finger of him, otherwise I will cut off one of your legs! Hmph!"
"You, you—" Gu Yan was so angry that he almost turned over, and almost wanted to pick up the broom by the door and throw Ziqi all over his face.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, the ghost doctor coughed a few times, which calmed down the two of them.
Baili Jiuge watched the situation develop like this, only felt that one head and two were big, and looking at the night was also heavy, fearing that Mo Li's body would not be able to hold on, so he called Kunshan Xuehuang over and asked it to send Mo Li back .But she was also afraid that the journey would be far away, and what would happen to Mo Li on the way... She decided to go back to the imperial capital with Mo Li.It's just that she can't just go back to Shizi's mansion like this, so after sending him back, she wandered around elsewhere.
So he jumped on Kunshan Xuehuang's back first, and stretched out his hand towards Mo Li.
Gu Yan's expression changed again, and he hurriedly said: "Heifeng, what are you doing?!"
"Send Mo Li back to the imperial capital!" She smiled at Gu Yan and said, "You don't have to worry, the senior ghost doctor helped me resolve it just now, senior ghost doctor, thank you! And Ziqi, are you Do you want to follow me to the capital, or what?"
Ziqi stomped his feet and scolded: "Don't go now, I'm exhausted these days, I need to sleep well for a few days before I talk about it! When I recover my energy, I will rush to the capital, and I must dig out Senior Brother Ziqian !"
If so, let her go.Baili Jiuge looked at Mo Li again, just stretched out his hand, waiting for him to come.
At this moment, it seemed that he saw a distressed but doting smile on the corner of his lips, so hazy like a hallucination, until his cold hand held hers, Baili Jiuge was startled suddenly, and smiled , pulling Mo Li onto Kunshan Xuehuang's back.
She instructed: "When Huang'er flies up, the wind will be very strong. I will sit in front to help you block the wind, and your crane cloak, don't tie it tight."
As he spoke, he did it himself, tightening Mo Li's clothes.This scene fell into the eyes of several people. Gu Yan was speechless to the point of not wanting to speak, but Ziqi suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered something: "Sister Heifeng, why are you so familiar with Mo Li? I've never seen you take such good care of any man!"
Baili Jiuge's heart skipped a beat, fearing that if Ziqi continued to speak, he would be ruined, so he quickly waved his hand and ordered Kunshan Xuehuang to leave quickly.
Xuehuang spread her wings, and with a long chirp like a flute, she rose slowly, rushed up to the sky smoothly, and headed towards Chaodu.
Only then did Baili Jiuge breathe a sigh of relief, fearing that Mo Li would ask her something, she just looked forward without even looking back, but she didn't know that the people behind her had already seen through everything, and now she sighed lightly, Going around her waist, she embraced this slender body towards herself.
"Mo Li, what are you doing?"
Baili Jiuge was surprised.But before he could say the next sentence, his whole body was already in Mo Li's arms.
She froze involuntarily, feeling that he covered her with the crane cloak, the coldness and warmth were like two gentle winds, blowing into the depths of Baili Jiuge's heart.She didn't know that her face was already red, but she only knew that the two of them were snuggled up under the warm crane cloak, sticking tightly together, and the night wind blowing in front of them seemed to be much smaller...
Later, outside the imperial capital, Baili Jiuge saw Mo Li's carriage, and Yufeng stood firmly in front of the carriage, like a stone statue.
When he saw Baili Jiuge for the first time, Yufeng's face changed suddenly, he drew his sword and pointed at him, and shouted: "It turned out to be you! Miss Heifeng, what you did in the past has harmed His Royal Highness too much. At that time, His Highness I have given you the Nine Colors Ganoderma lucidum, what do you want now?"
Mo Li held Baili Jiuge in his arms, walked towards Yufeng, carefully retracted the crane cloak, and said calmly, "Yufeng, let's go back home."
Yu Feng was a little unwilling, but he also understood that Mo Li didn't want him to say more, so he helped Mo Li back into the carriage, glared at Baili Jiuge, drove away in the carriage.
The carriage went away, but the people in the carriage opened the curtains, their moon-like pupils had a longing gaze, passing through the darkness, entwined with Baili Jiuge's gaze.
At this moment, she thought about it, and suddenly felt that her heart was very warm, as if the lingering scent of the crane cloak and the fragrance of epiphyllum were still left on her body, coiling around her body, although it was faint, as if she couldn't figure it out. But it will be firmly planted in her heart inadvertently, and a peach blossom will bloom, and she will never be able to let go...
But suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Baili Jiuge realized that he was in the shape of a black phoenix after all, why did Mo Li look at her as if he was looking at "Jiuge"?Could it be that Mo Li saw through her as the mother bustard said?
The little face turned red like a pomegranate, and now Mo Li was gone, Baili Jiuge wanted to smash the jar.
Later, the night gradually darkened.
Baili Jiuge changed back into a red dress, put on a human skin mask, and walked along the long street of Chaodu.
There are only a few pedestrians left on the street, and the night watchman is beating the gong and patrolling the street.
Baili Jiuge looked up at the sky full of stars, with the night wind blowing, not sure where he should go.Going back to the Fangfei Hall, and fearing that Gu Lian hadn't calmed down yet, it seemed inappropriate to go to the owner of the rice shop on Nanshidao Street.After thinking about it, I decided to turn to the night on the street and go back to Zhongshan.
But as he walked, he suddenly heard a familiar rhythm, which was the sound of wooden wheels rolling on the ground.
Baili Jiuge couldn't believe it, looked quickly, and really saw a desolate figure emerging from the dark night, that person had waist-length curly hair and long eyelashes, was sitting in a wheelchair, coming slowly.
"Fire?!" Baili Jiuge rushed up to greet him, squatted down, took Yin Liehuo's hand, and asked, "Why are you still wandering around the street at such a late hour? There is no attendant around you, how amazing is that?" it is good!"
Yin Liehuo smiled softly, blinked his eyelashes, and said in a soft voice: "I'm going to pick up my adoptive father back home..."
"Master Zuoxiang? Is he still outside at this late hour?"
"Yes." Yin Liehuo pointed to the front, lowered his eyebrows and eyes slightly, and complained: "Father is diligent in government, loves the people, and devotes himself to everything, but these days, he has not succeeded in writing to His Majesty, so he has to visit His Majesty's uncle, Prince Yu, and want to plead with Prince Yu. Can help submit a letter of remonstrance."
Baili Jiuge was stunned for a moment, he had heard that Yin Zuoxiang was upright and loved the people like a son, so he must have worked hard for a long time to remonstrate Yin Haoyi, that scum.But it was Yin Haoyi... "Why didn't Yin Haoyi read Yin Zuoxiang's letter of remonstrance?"
Yin Liehuo mocked: "With Baili Qingping around, how can we expect him to revive Chao Gang?"
Baili Jiuge is clear, and he can't help but think of Empress Yuan in the palace.It's really helpless, such an upright and respectful woman, but still can't control Baili Qingping who is seductive and seductive, it seems that Yin Haoyi is really a scum, and should be kicked from the throne!
Just as I was thinking about it, there were people walking on the street ahead.
As soon as Yin Liehuo heard the footsteps, he knew it was Yin Zuoxiang, and quickly called out: "Father."
Yin Zuoxiang took a light breath, "Agni?" He walked over quickly.
Baili Jiuge also bowed his hands and bowed. Taking a closer look at Yin Zuoxiang, he seemed to be thinner and sallow than the last time he saw him, his cheekbones were more prominent, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Baili Jiuge looked very dazzling, and couldn't help saying: "Emperor Zhaoyi was not a good bird in the first place, and now he is becoming more and more stupid. Even if Mr. Zuoxiang vomited his heart out, it may not be able to make him return from his lost way." That kind of person is not worthy of being an emperor at all, so why not replace him with Yin Haochen!"
Yin Zuoxiang's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "You must never say this again! If someone spreads it, not only will you suffer, but His Royal Highness will also be implicated."
Baili Jiuge was taken aback for a moment, and he also knew that he had to look forward and backward when speaking and doing things in the capital, which was really annoying.If it wasn't for the fear of implicating Yin Haochen, she would definitely continue talking.
Yin Liehuo ended the conversation in a timely manner, and said: "It's getting late, I saw that my father hadn't returned to the mansion, so I found it on my own initiative. Father, is it okay for Jiu Ge to stay at Zuo Xiang's mansion tonight?"
Yin Zuoxiang smiled kindly: "Of course, if the imperial concubine is determined not to return to the imperial palace, you are very welcome to stay here."
Baili Jiuge was overjoyed.Just right!Have a place to live tonight!
Then he said: "Thank you Yin Zuoxiang! I greeted Mo Li and I won't go back tonight." Then he pushed Yin Liehuo's wheelchair, lowered his head slightly, and smiled brightly: "Liehuo, you can go back tonight again." I'm going to squeeze a quilt with you, I sleep as peacefully as ever!"
Yin Liehuo couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Baili Jiuge with a gentle smile, wanting to tell her that she actually didn't sleep well at all, either squeezing others or pushing herself against the wall.
Laughing and laughing all the way to relieve the pressure, the three of them went back to Zuo Xiangfu together. The hostess of the mansion, Mrs. Huo, was standing at the door waiting for her husband to return. When she saw the three of them coming back together, a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly welcomed them in. A supper was brought.
So this night, the four of them sat around a table and ate supper together. The atmosphere was indescribably simple and warm.As for Baili Jiuge, because he was very tired after the day, he fell asleep after eating supper.
At midnight, the study room of Zuo Xiangfu was still lit. There were three ordinary white candles, which were lit on Yin Zuoxiang's desk. Even the tray was just an ordinary plate.Yin Zuoxiang was wearing a middle coat and a robe, and he was still sitting in front of the table with many cracks, writing something.
The flame of the candle was too dim and flickering, so he could only squint to see each word clearly.
"Father, let's have some tea."
The sound of wooden wheels rolling came from the outside to the inside. Yin Liehuo came to the table with tea in his hands, his brows could not be stretched, and he murmured: "Day and night, father is working hard to write the letter of advice. If It’s fine if these letters of remonstrance can reach Emperor Zhaoyi. The fact is, he is too disappointing after all.”
Yin Zuoxiang sighed, looked up at his daughter, and replied sadly: "The Holy Majesty is still young, and he will inevitably take detours and wrong paths. As a father, as his elder, and as his cousin, even if it is heart-wrenching, he will do it for me." For the sake of the country and the country of the great merchants."
"Jiangshan Sheji...?" Yin Liehuo's voice was as cool as the frost that fell on a winter night, "Jiangshan Sheji is for those who are capable, and people like His Majesty..." The words behind did not come out, But it already had a cold breath, freezing the surrounding air.
Yin Zuoxiang couldn't help but stare at Yin Liehuo, and felt that his daughter seemed to have grown up a lot in the past two years, and the aura emanating from her was no longer gloomy and lifeless, but like...a little bit more Fighting spirit and purpose.
He suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked: "Lenghuo, my father once heard people say that when my father was away on business, you often invited the son of Zhou to visit the mansion, is there such a thing?"
"Yes." Yin Liehuo admitted unhurriedly, and whispered quietly: "People who are also degraded, it is easier to get acquainted with each other, and Jiu Ge and I became friends in this way."
Yin Zuoxiang nodded subconsciously, his eyes darkened, but he didn't ask any more questions, and continued to focus on writing the letter of advice.Every word, whether it is advocating the construction of water conservancy, paving roads and bridges, or strengthening national education, was put forward by him after careful thinking and planning.
Looking at his dedicated father under the lamp, Yin Liehuo suddenly sighed.At this moment, she has nothing else to ask for, but hopes that tomorrow this letter of remonstrance will be delivered to Emperor Zhaoyi, so that her father's painstaking efforts can see the light of day.
Suddenly I heard Yin Zuoxiang say: "Go and rest quickly, there is still a little bit left to be a father, go to bed after finishing writing."
"Father, I want to stay here and wait for you to rest."
Yin Zuoxiang smiled kindly: "Lenghuo, you know your filial piety as a father, you don't have to stay with me here, go and persuade your mother to sleep first, I will go later."
Yin Liehuo thought for a while, nodded and left, and left in the wheelchair.
Watching Yin Liehuo's figure disappear into the night, Yin Zuoxiang picked up the pen and filled it with ink. At the end of the letter of remonstrance, he wrote two lines of vivid and powerful words with doubled force——
"The fox charms the lord, and the court is weak."
"Admonish Your Majesty bitterly, alienate Concubine Ning!"
The moment the pen was written, a drop of sweat slid down the forehead. I don't know if it was because the sixteen characters were too hard, or because the content was too sharp.
In the end, Yin Zuoxiang just put down his pen, covered the inkstone, put the remonstrance book into a cloth bag, and packed up the desk.After everything was settled, I sighed and blew out the candles, and went to bed.
The next day, Baili Jiuge was the first one to wake up in the Zuoxiang Mansion. For some reason, he didn’t sleep well last night. He woke up seven or eight times after dream after dream. Breathe the fresh air in the small garden of the mansion.
After breakfast together, Huo's servant Yin Zuoxiang put on official robes, and the family sent him to the gate of the mansion.
Before leaving, Yin Zuoxiang suddenly stopped, and then came back, pulled Huo Shi into his arms.
This rare scene aroused the exclamation of everyone present, even Yin Liehuo opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Father...?"
"No... I'm fine." Yin Zuo seemed to realize something, let go of Huo Shi, but reluctantly lifted her bangs, kissed her forehead, thousands of words piled up on her lips, and finally only soft Say a few words aloud: "Madam has been working hard all this time."
Huo Shi has always been dedicated and affectionate. Hearing such affectionate words at this moment, he was instantly moved into a mess, wiped his tears and said with a smile: "What is the master talking about? I married a concubine against all opinions, and even though I later learned that my concubine would not have a child, I still dote on my concubine." She spoke softly, and threw herself into Yin Zuoxiang's arms again, crying He said: "Looking at the capital, those officials who are not as high as the master have three wives and four concubines, but the master has always only had one concubine...Master, you know that no matter what the concubine does, it is not hard, because the concubine can't do anything. Repay your favor to my concubine!"
Huo wept like a begonia covered with dew, and Yin Zuoxiang's lapel was wet with tears.
He suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, the sour wind poured into his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, he forced himself not to say too much, he had to go to the palace to give an admonition.
So he slowly pushed Huo Shi away, smiled and comforted him, and spoke softly to Yin Liehuo, and then told the servants in the family to take good care of Huo Shi and Yin Liehuo before boarding the chariot Car, went to the palace.
Baili Jiuge was also watching, Yin Zuoxiang and Huo's affection made her suddenly think of Meng Fu and Hongxiao, at this moment her heart felt as if hit hard by a hammer, and her breathing stopped in pain.
Hung Hom, Meng Fu...why would such a determined couple fail to become family members, but would die at the hands of despicable people instead? !I have always believed that there is a righteous way in the dark, but why do the fateful mandarin ducks go to the underworld together, while the scum are still living happily?
The little hand couldn't help but clenched tightly, Baili Jiuge really wanted to tear the sky open to see where God's eyes are.Also because of the emotional turmoil at the moment, he didn't notice Yin Liehuo's expression.
Yin Liehuo was looking at the chariot going away, his heart was being eroded by uneasiness.Just now her father's behavior was so weird that she felt like he was explaining the funeral...!
