After the heavy rain, it adds a bit of poetry to the winter scenery. Especially towards the evening, the sunset glows with golden light. At dusk after the rain, the setting sun shines in the west, and the smoke is as ethereal and charming as gauze.
Yanyan was helped by Qi Feng to sit up. She drank a bowl of ginger soup when she came back and slept again. Her head was no longer so groggy. She looked up at the window and saw that the plum blossoms in the yard had fallen under the ravages of the heavy rain.
On the ground, there are still strong plum blossoms that have not fallen off on the branches, spreading deeply and shallowly.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. After all, I couldn't resist the heavy rain. The originally beautiful flowers were now slightly red.
"Yanyan?" Qi Feng, who was sitting beside the bed, called her softly.
Yan Yan came back to his senses at this time, smiled at him, leaned into his arms, and said softly: "I'm fine, I just like the rain. I couldn't help but go out for a while before I got wet."
He gently put his hand on her shoulder and said softly: "It's raining so heavily. You went out on purpose to make me worry. What should I do if I get gonorrhea? I don't want to see you feel uncomfortable."
"Am I okay now?" Yan Yan smiled slightly.
"You also said that I just checked with the doctor, don't try to lie to me." Qi Feng couldn't help scolding her, and the hand on her shoulder suddenly held her in his arms.
Yanyan was stunned for a moment, and did not speak any more in his arms, but just clung to his chest. Suddenly she felt that there might not be many more days like this, and before she knew it, her fingers were already tightly clenching the hem of his clothes.
"You are not allowed to go out in heavy rain like this in the future, you know?" He said softly. At this time, Gu Rui had already walked in with a bowl of medicine. Yanyan wrinkled his nose, feeling bitter after smelling the medicine.
She hid her head in his arms and refused to come out no matter how hard he pulled her.
He found it funny and laughed softly, saying, "Why, are you still afraid of taking medicine?"
Yanyan shook her head in his arms, but didn't dare to lift her head up. She had been afraid of medicine and injections since she was a child, and every time she drank medicine, she would get into trouble for a long time. At this time, she felt even more uncomfortable. The medicine smelled bitter, and she drank it.
It would be strange if it didn't taste bitter to her taste buds once it reached her mouth.
Gu Rui couldn't help but chuckled at the side, "Fujin, drink it while it's hot. Drinking the medicine when it's cold will be bad for your health. If you feel bitter, I've prepared a dessert for you."
She still didn't raise her head, holding the clothes on his chest tightly with both hands.
Qi Feng signaled Gu Rui to put the medicine beside the bed, gently patted Yan Yan who was hiding in his arms and refused to come out, and said softly: "Yan Yan, be good, Gu Rui has gone down. Hurry up and drink the medicine.
The disease will heal faster if you drink it."
Yanyan shook his head, "I'm not sick, don't drink these medicines, please take them away quickly."
A gentle force held her chin, forcing her to slowly raise her head. Yanyan glanced sideways at the medicine bowl beside the bed and frowned involuntarily.
"Can I not drink now and drink later?" Yan Yan whispered.
Seeing her fear of drinking medicine, he felt soft. Then he thought about it and couldn't indulge her. He simply picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip himself. He immediately grabbed her skirt and held her down with the other hand.
With his hand, he fed the medicine into her mouth. Sure enough, the medicine was really bitter. He just held it in his mouth and felt the pain in his stomach. He looked at her beautiful eyebrows knitted together and kept sticking out her tongue.
With such a look, he hurriedly put the dessert into her mouth, and immediately took some in his mouth.
Yanyan couldn't help but laugh.
Qi Feng couldn't help but laugh softly. Looking at the medicine in the bowl, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He gritted his teeth and took another sip. He grabbed her again and put it into her mouth, one bite at a time until the end.
After a mouthful of medicine was delivered to his mouth, he put the bowl down with satisfaction.
Yanyan kept sticking out his tongue and said bitterly: "Next time, I will never drink this kind of medicine again."
"No next time, don't get sick again." After saying that, he rolled over on the bed, hugged her and fell asleep. This medicine seemed to be hypnotic, and she obviously slept for a long time. In his arms, she listened to his heartbeat.
, and fell asleep again after a while.
After staying in the house for two days, Yanyan felt that she was about to get sick from boredom. But Qi Feng refused to let her out of the room, saying that it was raining outside and she was afraid of getting gonorrhea again.
Today, the sky finally cleared up. The sky washed by the rain was blue, and the sunshine filled the world with the freshness after the rain. Yanyan sat on the soft couch prepared by Gu Rui in the yard, feeling comfortable and comfortable.
"Xiaorui, your highness hasn't come back yet?" Yanyan asked softly, looking up at the mottled tree shadows on the bluestone road back to Yange. The afternoon sun was stronger, and it was warmer on people's bodies.
"Fu Jin, please go to the front door and have a look. Maybe you are back."
Yanyan nodded and watched Gu Rui drop her work and run out. After a while, her small figure ran back again. As if something had happened, she ran very fast. When she ran in front of her
She was out of breath and kept patting her chest with her hands. Yanyan looked at her anxious look and immediately stood up from the soft couch, "What happened? Why are you running so fast?"
"Fu...Fu Jin..." She gasped, and after finally regaining her breath, she said urgently, "Fu Jin, I'm sorry, I heard that Mr. Liu died in his own home, and..."
Yanyan's body couldn't help but trembled, and he grabbed Gu Rui's lapel, "Which Mr. Liu is it?"
"It's Mr. Liu Rong Liu."
The hand holding her suddenly loosened, and she fell on the bed helplessly. After taking a few breaths, Gu Rui said urgently: "Fu Jin, what's wrong with you?"
Yanyan seemed to have not heard her words, and had mixed feelings in her heart. Gu Rui looked at her worriedly, not knowing what to do. Suddenly something occurred to her, and Yanyan suddenly stood up from the bed, "You just wanted to
What are you talking about? Master Liu died at home, what happened next?"
Gu Rui was frightened by her sudden rise and said incoherently: "When I just went to the front door, I happened to meet the father-in-law who came to deliver a message, saying that Qi Feng was under house arrest by the emperor. The death of Mr. Liu is suspected to be His Highness...
"
"nonsense."
Before Gu Rui finished speaking, Yan Yan interrupted her. She couldn't help but think of Qi Yu. If she guessed correctly, this matter was definitely related to Qi Yu.
She felt annoyed for no reason, turned around and walked out of the door. Gu Rui immediately caught up with her and said anxiously: "Fu Jin, don't be anxious. The slaves all believe in His Highness. How could it be that His Highness killed Liu?"
Rong Fujin, where are you going?"
"Gu Rui, you go back first. I have some personal matters when I go out, so you don't have to worry about me." Yanyan stopped and looked at Gu Rui's worried look, knowing that she was worried about herself.
"No, His Highness has ordered the slaves to stay with Fujin at all times." Gu Rui said urgently, her fingers clenching the corners of her clothes tightly.
Yanyan smiled softly and said: "It's okay, I just went out for something, you go back first. I promise I will come back safely."
"But..." Gu Rui wanted to say something else. Seeing Yan Yan's firm appearance, she didn't know what to do. She stayed in place and kept clutching the corners of her clothes.
"Don't worry, I'll be out for a while and I'll be back soon." Yanyan said softly. Seeing that she neither shook her head nor nodded, she smiled, turned around and walked out the door. When Gu Rui reacted,
Yanyan was no longer in front of her.
She was confused. Now His Highness was imprisoned in the palace, and Fujin didn't know where he was. While thinking about it, she thought that Brother Jiu was the closest to His Highness, so she immediately left Prince Feng's Mansion and went to Jiu A
Run to my brother's mansion.
As soon as she reached the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she was stopped by the guards in front of the door. No wonder, she had never been out of Feng Prince's Mansion, and it was not surprising that the guards here didn't know that she was from Feng Prince's Mansion. She had no choice but to ask the guard brother to go in and deliver a message.
Unexpectedly, the guard was unreasonable and polite, saying that not just anyone could enter the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Gu Rui had no choice but to shout inside. The guard became angry and rushed to her, roaring and pulling her away.
"stop!"
A female voice suddenly sounded, and the guard immediately stopped what he was doing, let go of Gu Rui's hand, and turned around to salute the person behind him.
Gu Rui recognized the voice, turned around immediately, and knelt down in a hurry, "Jiu Fujin..."
"Get up quickly." Su Xi helped her up, pulled her to sit down in the yard, and then asked softly: "You are in such a hurry, has something happened?"
"Jiu Fujin, our Highness is imprisoned in the underground palace. My servant didn't stop Fujin just now. I don't know where Fujin went. I panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do, so I had to come to find His Highness Jiu Fujin."
Su Xi couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, and sighed in her heart. No wonder Brother Jiu hadn't come back yet. He was probably in the palace. Seeing Gu Rui's anxious look, she quickly comforted her softly: "You go back first."
Prince's Mansion, maybe Yanyan has returned to the palace by now. I'll go to the palace first."
Gu Rui nodded, got up and left the ninth elder brother's house. After Gu Rui left, Su Xi also got up and changed into suitable clothes, got on the carriage and rushed to the palace.
At this time, Yan Yan, who had left Prince Feng's Mansion, had already arrived at Qi Yu's Mansion. Qi Yu seemed to have expected that she would go find him, and had already ordered someone to wait in front of the door. The person waiting for her did not take her in.
Instead, he led her to another residence. Yanyan wanted to ask the person leading the way where he wanted to take her several times, but he still didn't ask.
The man walked to a mansion without a plaque, stopped, and left. Yanyan hesitated and pushed the door open. Hearing a heavy "squeak", a simple and elegant courtyard appeared in front of him.
As she walked leisurely, she looked up and saw Qi Feng standing in front of her. She stood with her hands behind her back, her clothes moving in the wind, leaving her with a silhouette of her back. She deliberately made a sound of footsteps and saw him turn his head,
Seeing her, a smile of unknown meaning suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He walked to the bluestone bench and sat down, looked up at her, no emotion could be seen in his deep eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Sit."
