National color medical concubine

Chapter 106 tit for tat
Xie Qiao sat quietly on the steps and looked at the blue sky, the wind was harmonious, the clouds were like fluff, and the sky was blue and warm, just like blue and white porcelain on a white ground.Intertwined with flying carnations and wisteria flowers falling down the corridor, it glows with lustrous brilliance under the bright summer sun.

He rested his chin and looked at the sky, feeling strangely peaceful in his heart.The queen had already woken up, and the prince took the witch doctor into the palace, but sent him away without finding out the problem.

"Miss, miss." Mingxiu called crisply at the door of the house.

Xie Qiao withdrew his gaze, looked sideways slightly, Ming Xiu said: "The time to meet Mr. Jiang has come."

"Well, prepare the carriage." Xie Qiao adjusted the hem of his skirt and went back to the house silently.The information on disease prevention, which she recorded in the handbook in the early years, did not fall into the valley, which saved a lot of trouble.

When she arrived, Jiang Pei had already been waiting in the medical hall for a long time.

The medical hall on Tongque Street has been repaired. Jiang Pei instructed Ye Zhou to arrange the layout, and Xie Qiao greeted him with a gentle smile: "The medical hall is almost ready, and it can open on a date."

Xie Qiao shook the letter in his hand: "So I asked you out and wrote the words."

Jiang Pei took it over and took a look, feeling faintly disappointed in his heart, and his tone was light: "You wrote it?"

"I wrote it when I was punished in Shennong Valley." Xie Qiao watched as Ye Zhou hurried in and out. The drug boy put the medicinal materials in order, took off the burden, and placed the bottled pills on top. , and several boxes of donkey-hide gelatin.

She wants to see how the donkey-hide gelatin is selling. If it sells well, she will make more pots.

Jiang Pei listened to her explanation, the smile on his face spread to the corner of his eyes.

Xie Qiao said with a smile: "If I have the spare time to write letters, I might as well inscribe them myself, why bother."

"That's the reason." Jiang Pei looked at her neatly arranged medicine bottles, which were all pasted on the porcelain bottles for whatever purpose they were used for. "Have you chosen a date?"

"Shu'er will open the business after she gets married." The smile on Xie Qiao's face disappeared. After the death of Marquis An Yuan, the title was taken back. Qin Yin bought another house and asked the emperor to release him.Qin Yin, who was planning to get married at the end of the year, advanced the wedding date and got married before being released, and then took Rong Shu to the post together.

Jiang Pei nodded: "Are you in a hurry?"

Naturally, Xie Qiao knew that Jiang Pei was taking a break from her busy schedule to write the inscription for her, so she didn't have many demands. "It doesn't have to be written before the opening, but it can be finished."

Jiang Pei nodded, but he didn't take it seriously. "Do you like to listen to opera? In the West Garden, invite an actor, a famous actor, to listen to it together?"

Xie Qiao wanted to refuse.

Jiang Pei said gently: "The West Garden is only open on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The refreshments inside are famous in Beijing, and tickets are hard to come by."

The implication is that the tickets are ready.

Xie Qiao had asked him for help just now, and he had already reached this point, so naturally it was not easy to refuse.

Ye Zhou looked directly at Xie Qiao, wanting her to take him to visit.

Xie Qiao ruthlessly refused: "Pick up all the medicines, and I will come over before I return home."

Ye Zhou looked at Ming Xiu injured, Ming Xiu snorted coldly, followed Xie Qiao and left.

The West Garden was built by General Yuwen, the founding hero of the country. His wife and children died in the war, and he never remarried in his life.There is only one hobby - listening to operas.

He is extremely picky about food, and recruits famous chefs from all over the world.

At that time, the West Garden was not open, and it was just the private property of General Yuwen. It was a great honor to be invited by him to visit the West Garden.

After his death, the West Garden was taken back by the emperor.For the enjoyment of the royal family and nobles, later because it was too extravagant and the treasury was out of support, the West Garden was auctioned off.The owner later expanded the garden and opened it to the outside world, but it was only two days, the first day and the 15th of the lunar new year, and it has been passed down to this day.

There are pavilions, terraces and attics in the West Garden, rockery and stone forest.The planted flowers and trees are colorful, and the breeze blows, and the petals of the trees fall down.The ground is covered with red, white and white petals, against the backdrop of the green grass, the scenery is full.

The attendant led several people to the elegant room, the fresh and elegant fragrance filled the nostrils, which made people feel comfortable, and the tiredness seemed to dissipate from the whole body.

"Apart from the refreshments here, the flowers in the garden are invincible all year round, and it's even more beautiful here when it snows." Jiang Pei invited Xie Qiao to take a seat, opened his robe and sat down opposite her. "Iced tea, warm tea?"

"Iced tea." Xie Qiao looked at the private room, which was extremely elegantly furnished with originality.At this time, silk and bamboo are lingering on the stage in the center, the teeth are ringing, the actors are dressed in gorgeous costumes, and the singing is lingering.

The song is about Yan Shifan asking Mo Huaigu for an ancestral jade cup and a handful of snow, and Mo Huaigu's repeated designs to keep the ancestral jade cup, but they were all seen through. In the end, Mo Huaigu's son Mo Hao risked his life to write a letter to avenge Xue's father's innocence.

Xie Qiao listened intently, clapping his fingers to the beat, and an elegant voice came to his ears: "I thought you didn't like to listen to operas, please come to the West Garden to let you relax for a while." His slender, white fingers pointed at the blue shadow under her eyelids , there was a hint of inexplicable emotion in his tone: "I haven't had a good rest for a long time."

Xie Qiao looked down at the reflection in the white jade cup, pursed his lips slightly, he really did not sleep well during this time.

Jiang Pei picked up a small piece of dim sum from the jade chopsticks and put it on her plate: "The shortbread is not bad, but it is not as delicious as the hibiscus fish."

When talking about the food, Xie Qiao came to Shener: "It's not easy to come here, you must try this hibiscus fish." Pick up the shortbread and taste it, the taste is crispy but not greasy, which is indeed better than the shortbread outside.

The attendants brought up the hibiscus fish, which was as white as hibiscus out of water, and the mushrooms were made into lotus flowers.

Xie Qiao doesn't eat fish, it's because the fish made by the cook in the house loses its freshness and sweetness.And this fish is tender and delicious. "It's delicious."

Jiang Pei removed the fishbone and put it in Xie Qiao's bowl.

Xie Qiao was slightly taken aback, looking down at the fish in the bowl.The relationship between her and Jiang Pei is not so familiar, it is a little hard to say.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Jiang Pei seemed to see her embarrassment, seeing her put down the jade chopsticks, he smiled lightly and said, "I've overstepped."

Xie Qiao smoothed things over and said: "You must have ordered everything I haven't eaten before, I have to try them all while keeping my appetite."

The smile in Jiang Pei's eyes faded, how could she not know that she was keeping his face in mind, and kept silent.

"December [-] is my wedding date. During this time I have to prepare the dowry, and Hantan Temple will trouble you." Xie Qiao couldn't help thinking of what Bai Zhi said in the carriage that day, whether it was a misunderstanding or a true love to her. If she wants to, she needs to show her attitude.

All the smiles on Jiang Pei's face faded away, and his sparkling eyes fixed on Xie Qiao with extremely complicated eyes. "He's not right for you."

"Are you suitable?" The door of the private room opened, and Qin Mo walked in with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Xie Qiao, looked at Jiang Pei coldly, and said in a cold tone, "Mr. play." He casually sat beside Xie Qiao, showing his sovereignty.The snow-like fish meat in Yubai's bowl was too glaringly white.

"The king of the county exaggerates the truth." Jiang Pei shook his head and said, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good."

Qin Mo snorted coldly and disagreed: "She is already my fiancée, why, how much rice grain does Mr. Jiang have to pay for your crime of resisting the decree?"

These words are full of irony.

Jiang Pei exchanged rice grains and palace expenses in exchange for the will, and Xie Qiao and Qin Suotian's family pointed out a marriage. He coveted Xie Qiao and had the intention of resisting the will.

Qin Mou stretched out his long arm, put it on Xie Qiao's waist, and looked at Jiang Pei provocatively: "Your grandmother has reached the age of forty, Mr. Jiang has kept the family property to support her old man. Don't think about what you have, let me let you go." Her elderly will not be guaranteed in her old age."

Jiang Pei's gentle and jade-like complexion suddenly turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "The prince should not take care of the housework, first solve the troubles in your house, and don't let someone stab you in the heart." Jiang Pei Standing up gracefully, her eyes fell on Xie Qiao, her thin lips slowly raised, with a bit of sarcasm: "When the time comes, the flowers will fall to my house."

Qin Mo's face was full of coldness and solemnity, as if his whole body was covered in ice and snow.

Xie Qiao saw that they were fighting openly and secretly, and felt a dull pain in his head.As she got up, the two looked at her at the same time.

"It's getting late, I'll go back home first." Xie Qiao passed Qin Mou and left with Ming Xiu.

Xie Qiao got into the carriage, and the carriage drove slowly.

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage swayed slightly, and a black figure entered, and the carriage was filled with the fragrance of heavy clothes.

Xie Qiao didn't even glance at it, but looked sideways at the bustling and noisy street.The afternoon sun was so bright that I couldn't keep my eyes open.Putting down the curtain, his stern face came into view, the anger in his heart has not dissipated, Xie Qiao turned a blind eye.

Qin Mo saw that Jiang Pei was not pleasing to the eye, and he had a dirty mind before marriage, and snatched Xie Qiao, he had nothing to say.

Now after the marriage is given, he is still like this, how can he not annoy him?
They talked very happily, piercing into his heart like sharp thorns, and he never considered her in his words and deeds.

"He has no good intentions for you, stay away from him in the future." Qin Mo said in a negotiating tone, but her words were firm enough for her to resist.

Xie Qiao was able to grasp the propriety, that's why she clearly stated her wedding date.She chose Qin Mo, so naturally she would not have second thoughts.

But thinking of his perverted possessiveness, Xie Qiao sighed: "Why are you in the West Garden?"

The eldest princess is seriously ill, he should be in the mansion.

Qin Mo snorted coldly: "I'm here to arrest someone."

Xie Qiao didn't bother to talk to him.

"Invite someone to listen to the play." Qin Mo said calmly.

Xie Qiao gave him a blank look. He came to the West Garden to eat and listen to a play, so it made no difference whether he said it or not.Tiredly leaning against the wall of the car, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.Qin Mo took her into his arms and pillowed her on his lap.A head of black silk hangs down windingly, spreading on the white velvet blanket, like the faint brilliance of luxurious silk and satin.

Qin Mo's slender fingers brushed lightly, only to feel a very subtle feeling in his heart, looking at her beautiful and refined face, he was a little lost in thought for a while.

Xie Qiao moved his body, adjusted his posture, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark.Looking sideways, he met his deep eyes.After sniffing, he stood up, looked at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it cold?"

Taking a closer look, all kinds of fish on the table were spinning around for a while, and Qin Mo had already hugged her and sat in front of the table.Pick up a piece of fish meat from the belly of the fish and put it in her bowl: "Taste it."

The corner of Xie Qiao's mouth raised slightly, how could she not know his little thoughts?Pick up a bite and chew it in your mouth, it is comparable to the fish in the West Garden: "Not bad."

"You like it, and I will bring the cook back to the mansion later." Qin Mo carefully picked thorns for her, watching her eat pleasing to the eye.

He secretly reprimanded Jiang Pei for being uneasy and kind, and he must take strict precautions in the future.

Xie Qiao refused, "No need, I'm tired of eating too much."

"Well, I'll keep it for now, anyway, you'll be living in the county prince's mansion in a short time." Qin Mo raised the corner of her mouth slightly, silently remembering her words in her heart, thinking of ordering Lan Xing to find more famous chefs to come to the mansion Come, take turns cooking for her.

Xie Qiao asked: "How is the Eldest Princess?"

"Same as usual." Qin Mo asked Yu Qinglan to take the eldest princess's pulse. The oil lamp was exhausted, and Xie Qiao must have given her the secret medicine of Shennonggu after taking it. He had tried his best.

The eldest princess is sick, and there is no cure for medicine and stone.

Although he wanted his mother to live a few more years, but his fate was fixed and he couldn't force it.

Xie Qiao said in a muffled voice: "I followed King Yan to see her more than a month ago, and I mentioned that woman to you. I gave her medicine, but she wanted to die, so she didn't take it. So she could live for a few more months. Now I can't guarantee that."

Qin Mo remembered that Xie Qiao had mentioned it to him at that time, but he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't know that the woman she was talking about was his mother!

"Don't blame yourself, you did your best."

Xie Qiao suddenly felt powerless in his heart. At that time, she forced the eldest princess to submit, so she didn't have to feel so guilty.

After eating half a fish, Xie Qiao looked at the darkening sky and said, "I'll go and see her."

Qin Mo took Xie Qiao to the courtyard of the eldest princess, with Aunt Jin and Baixiang waiting beside her.

"Miss Rong, the princess's hair is falling out badly, can you do something?" Aunt Jin's eyes were red and swollen, the moment she saw the eldest princess, she was very excited and grateful.She guessed that Xie Qiao had worn the beads on the princess's wrist, and believed in her heart that it was fate.

Both their master and servant were met by Xie Qiao, and both were saved by her.

"It's a reaction to the medicine, there's no way around it." Xie Qiao looked at the eldest princess who was falling into a coma on the bed, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she was not as distressed as she was when they met in the temple, and she was obviously in a good mood.

Baixiang knelt on the ground and begged, "Miss Rong, can you find a way to ease the pain of the eldest princess?"

Xie Qiao's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes shot towards Baixiang with ice-cold piercing eyes.In what capacity did she beg her?
The eldest princess is her future mother-in-law, if there is a way, she needs a maid to ask for it?
How mean and selfish you seem!
Qin Mo frowned, gave Baixiang a cold look, and said to Xie Qiao, "I'll take you back."

Xie Qiao nodded, and left behind Qin Suo.

The Eldest Princess slowly opened her eyes, looking at the empty door of the inner room, she heard all the words just now.

Qin Mo really cared too much about Xie Qiao, which is not a good thing.

His eyes fell on Baixiang who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, fresh and beautiful, with tears in the corners of his eyes, so charming.She is very clear about Ah Jin's personality, and she is very relieved of the people she trains: "Baixiang, starting tomorrow, you will serve the county king's diet and daily life."

Baixiang stared blankly at the eldest princess, unable to react for a moment.

Aunt Jin kicked her: "Thank you soon."

Knowing that the eldest princess was admiring her, Baixiang was both surprised and happy, and quickly kowtowed to thank her.

If there were no words from the eldest princess, Aunt Jin would be fine, once Aunt Jin left, she would have nowhere to go.Now that she is arranged by the county king's side, she will have a way out in the future.

Xingle Palace.

Emperor Ming came from Funing Palace and sat on the dragon chair. A letter on the dragon case caught his attention.

Eunuch Liu was surprised when he looked at the letter. He was inseparable from the emperor. When they left Xingle Palace, they didn't see this letter on the desk.

Emperor Ming saw from Eunuch Liu's expression that he didn't know. When he opened the letter, his pupils tightened.

The content is even more shocking.

Eunuch Liu saw that Emperor Ming's face was livid, and he was staring down at the tip of his shoe, not daring to vent his anger.

Emperor Ming was no longer the boy he was back then. He calmed down and took a closer look. There was a faint scent of ink in the envelope, obviously he had just written it not long ago.

Then, it must be copied!

Who?
Who exactly copied his handwriting!
And he wrote out the contents of the letter he wrote to his subordinates back then, word for word.

The events of framing Lord Zhen Guo single-handedly back then flooded into his mind one after another.I felt extremely uneasy, as if the old things were recurring.

The arrow is pointing straight at him!
The dragon chair under his buttocks became hot all of a sudden, and he couldn't sit still.

"Who would copy it?" Emperor Ming leaned on the dragon chair, staring at the letter with burning eyes, as if he wanted to pierce through it and find out the murderer!
Eunuch Liu thought for a moment: "Uncle's cursive handwriting is excellent, Prime Minister's regular script is even better, Wei Shangshu's running script is superb." After a pause, he took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, you forgot Now, his copying has been improved to a higher level, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false."

Emperor Ming's gaze was serious, he looked at it for a while, and then threw the letter to Eunuch Liu: "Burn it."

Eunuch Liu took it with both hands, threw it into the brazier and burned it.

Emperor Ming took out the memorial written by Wei Yun, and the words written on it were written sideways, and they were completed overnight.

But there is an unknown habit, he writes with thick ink, and that letter is also like this.

But why did he submit the copied letter on his dragon case?Or did he keep the evidence and use it to blackmail him in the future?After being discovered, submit it to him as a warning?
Either way, it made him panic.

Coming and going in his Xingle Palace is like entering no one's land, how can it not be scary?
"Liu Shun, you send people to watch Wei Yun." Emperor Ming issued an order, instructing him to strengthen the surveillance of each mansion.

"Yes." Eunuch Liu took the order to leave.

"Wait, is there any news from the county palace?" Emperor Ming was most worried about Qin Mo.

Eunuch Liu's heart sank, and after a long while, he said: "I heard that the eldest princess has returned to the mansion."

This news was like a thunderbolt hitting his ears, deafening.Jiashan is back?Isn't she dead?How come back again!
What does she want to do?
"When did you hear the news?" Emperor Ming's hand resting on the edge of the table, veins throbbing, it was terrifying.

The first thought in my heart was what did Qin Mo want to do?Jiashan is obviously dead, how can he live?If he was alive, he should have returned to the mansion long ago, why wait until now?

It must be Qin Mo's bluff.

definitely is!

Inexplicably, he believed it in his heart.

"The princess entered the palace and told the empress dowager that the empress dowager has been sent to the prince's mansion by carriage!" Eunuch Liu replied cautiously.

"Qin Yu?" Emperor Ming thought it was absurd. The eldest princess was not dead, so Qin Yu must know how big a wave she would cause if she was alive, and would hide the news. Why did Qin Yu enter the palace to reveal the news of Jiashan?
Eunuch Liu nodded, but he couldn't figure out what Qin Yu was thinking.

Emperor Ming suddenly didn't dare to act rashly, maybe Qin Yu was instructed by Qin Mo?After thinking about it, he remembered that Qin Yu obeyed An Yuanhou's words and put Qin Suo to death!The words in Funing Palace seemed to be intended for him, and everything he did showed that Qin Yu wanted Qin Suo to die.

Emperor Ming laughed loudly: "Since the imperial sister is not dead, I should go and see her as a cousin." His eyes were dark and unpredictable, and his hands, which were only in his sleeves, trembled invisibly.

Eunuch Liu understood and immediately prepared to leave the palace.

-

The moment Emperor Ming saw the eldest princess, his whole body seemed to be frozen, making it difficult to move half a step.

The imperial sister, who was five years younger than him, was even older than the empress dowager next to the bed.

His eyes are dull, his bones are skinny, and he looks like he is about to die.

Emperor Ming, who was facing a formidable enemy, lost his heart in an instant. It was difficult for her to speak, how could she retract her confession?When Wei Yun took the evidence from her back then, he was afraid that she would have something to do later, so he didn't attack Qin Suan.Now it seems that he is worrying too much!

If there is really a back move, I'm afraid that when she comes back, she can't wait to make a move, how can she be about to die and there is no movement?
"Imperial sister, why didn't you come back soon before you died? The empress turned gray early because of you, and her eyes were crying so badly. Seeing you like this now, the empress mother and I don't know how much it hurts!" Emperor Ming's eyes were red, really The one who looks like a brother and sister.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager felt a little comforted in her heart, and the emperor was afraid that he would also repent. "Jiashan was so ill that she couldn't speak, her intake of breath was low, her breath was too much, and she didn't have a few days to live. You quickly order her to hire a world-renowned doctor to let her live through the Ai family. The Ai family can no longer bear it. The white-haired man sent the black Send people."

Emperor Ming said: "Where is Rong Hua? Ask her to heal the imperial sister."

"Rong Hua said that he could live for three months at most, but your imperial sister is determined to die, so she forcibly holds her breath, even if it is possible..." The Queen Mother couldn't utter the last few words.

Emperor Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sighed: "Zhen, here's the decree."

The eldest princess opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't make a sound, tears rolled down her eyes, she shook her head to prevent Emperor Ming from making an order.Before Emperor Ming could reply, he didn't catch his breath and passed out.

Emperor Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he told Aunt Jin to take good care of the eldest princess, and persuaded the queen mother to return to the palace.

In his heart, he completely dispelled the threat brought by the eldest princess.

The Queen Mother said heartbrokenly: "Ai's family has only a few of your children, one has a broken leg and the other is dying. The third son has been in the fiefdom for 15 years, and the relationship between you brothers and sisters was very good back then. Let him go back to Beijing to see Jiashan for the last time." .”

Emperor Ming's eyes dimmed, and the third child must not return to Beijing.

The queen mother said bitterly: "You have to let Ai's family die before you allow him to return to Beijing! Or, you plan to keep him in the fief forever! He has a broken leg and is no threat to you. Ai's family begs you, see you before you die!" See you brothers and sisters!"

Emperor Ming compromised, and said coldly: "I, I agree."

-

Wei Yun also learned that the eldest princess was still alive, so she locked herself in the study.

Qin knocked on the door and brought the dinner in: "Master, what happened?"

"The eldest princess is not dead, she is back." Wei Yun leaned back in the chair with a slumped face. He killed her, so is he coming back for revenge?
Snapped--

Qin shi knocked over the food box in her hand, and said palely, "Master, how...how could she still be alive? The news is correct?"

Wei Yun shook her head: "I have already found someone to confirm that I am indeed alive. I was saved by a monk who practiced things back then."

"Then what should we do?" The Qin family knew all about Wei Yun's affairs, once the princess was exposed, how could she survive?

"You are her sister-in-law, you go to her to test it out." Wei Yun made a decision.

Qin's heart was terrified, where would he dare to go?

"She doesn't dare to do anything to you for now, if you don't go, we will all die!" Wei Yun snapped.

The Qin family quickly agreed, and immediately went to visit the county prince's mansion.

And at this time, the person sent by Wei Yun came over and reported: "Master, there are new people in the mansion."

"Who?"

The visitor pointed to the sky.

Wei Yun's complexion suddenly changed, Tian—— Tianjia, Emperor Ming!

He also has a guilty conscience, is he afraid?
So, sending someone to monitor him and pushing him out is the top priority?

Wei Yun was sweating profusely, but he was not afraid of the eldest princess.If Emperor Ming also moved his mind, he had to make a plan.

Immediately took out a book on the foot of the table, and took out two letters from it, the secret letter written to him by Emperor Ming back then.He took precautions and kept accepting One Day as a life-saving talisman.

Now, does it come in handy?
Wei Yun put it close to her body, and with a little peace of mind, she went out of the mansion to look for Xi Bochang.

But they didn't know that the Qin family who went to the county palace was detained.

His every move was followed by those who were monitored and reported to Emperor Ming.

-

With the decree of recalling the king of Shu from the fief.

Qin Mo went to Xieqiao and told her to dig out the things as soon as possible.

Xie Qiao was also anxious, and he didn't know what excuse to find to enter the Zhen Guogong's mansion again.

At this time, Rong Shu came in with a bundle on her arm. Xie Qiao's sad face amused her, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Are you in trouble?" Looking at the open wedding dress on the wooden frame, it was only half embroidered, and frowning. Mei said: "You have to make the wedding dress as soon as possible, and also make some clothes for your husband."

Xie Qiao said in amazement: "Do you still want to make clothes?" He said with a distressed face: "My wedding dress is all embroidered by pinellia."

Rong Shu said disapprovingly: "Women's wedding dresses have to be made by themselves..." Remembering that Xie Qiao grew up in the countryside, she shook her head and said softly: "After finishing, you sew a few beads yourself, It’s also considered you made it.”

Xie Qiao propped his chin and said, "I'm getting married soon, do I need to worship my mother?"

"You can go to worship." Rong Shu handed the burden to Xie Qiao and said, "After I get married and return home, I will leave Beijing. I will definitely not be able to attend your wedding at that time, so I will send you the make-up in advance."

Hearing this, Xie Qiao's brows were full of sadness: "I only have you as a good friend. Now that you are married and leave Beijing, I am alone again."

Rong Shu's nose was slightly sour, and she shook her head: "There are many people around you who care about you, and the king of the county treats you very well." There was a touch of envy in her tone, Qin Yin treated her like a guest, just marrying a wife and taking care of the children Her stepmother didn't have the slightest affection for her.

Xie Qiao smiled wryly, and said softly, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Zhen Guogong's mansion."

Rong Shu asked in surprise, "So fast?"

"You are going to get married soon, how can you have time to go with me?" Xie Qiao held Rong Shu's hand and begged, "Shu'er, help me."

Rong Shu's heart softened, and she agreed: "My mother has long since refused to allow me to leave the house. Tomorrow, you can go and talk to my mother, and she will agree."

Xie Qiao immediately took Rong Shu to the second room to find Liu Shi.

When Mrs. Liu heard that she was paying homage to Mrs. Li, she immediately agreed, but asked Rong Shu not to stay outside.

Rong Shu was in a hurry to respond.

Early the next morning, Xie Qiao and Rong Shu went to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Rong Shu knocked on the vermilion lacquered door, and the old man saw the two, and said in a hoary voice: "You two, I paid homage last time, and it's not time yet."

Rong Shu handed over the prepared wine, Fen Mian said shyly, "Please be considerate, old man, my sister and I are getting married soon, and we want to see an old friend."

The old man was surprised, but he didn't get the instructions from above, so he didn't dare to let him go easily.But a big wedding ceremony is really special.He said as appropriate: "You two wait a moment." Looking inside the door, a person left without a sound.

Xie Qiao and Rong Shu waited for a few quarters of an hour before being put in by the old man.

The two went directly to the Hanyan Pavilion, staring at them closely, and did not leave this time.

Xie Qiao was anxious because she was afraid that the people in the dark would keep staring at her, so she would have nowhere to attack.

I'm afraid she came to Zhen Guogong's mansion to pay homage to her deceased mother for no reason, which made people suspicious.

Not daring to show any strangeness, Xie Qiao knelt in front of the tomb to worship Mrs. Li, took out a thick stack of copied scriptures, and burned them page by page.

That gaze continued to stare at her until she finished burning.

If you return empty-handed this time, you will definitely not be able to enter next time!

No!

Xie Qiao was anxious in his heart, got up restlessly and went to Hanyan Pavilion with Rong Shu.Leaning at the third pillar and digging here is indeed too eye-catching.

Rong Shu looked at Xie Qiao suspiciously, wondering why she didn't leave.

Looking at the vast lotus pond, Xie Qiao changed his mind slightly, took the basket from Rong Shu's hand, and whispered a few words in her ear quickly.

Rong Shu's complexion changed drastically, and she returned to normal in an instant.

"You wait here for me, I'll pick some lotus leaves." Xie Qiao said loudly, quickly got off the ladder, climbed over the railing, reached out to pick the lotus leaves that were close to him, and shouted to Rong Shu: " I got it—”

"Be careful—" Rong Shu exclaimed.

"thump--"

Xie Qiao fell into the lotus pond, only to see a figure flashing out of the dark, jumping into the lotus pond to save Xie Qiao.
