The lamps and candles danced lightly, and Yu Qiansi's expression changed slightly.
Shang Fu blinked and stopped talking: "Master Yu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. It's late at night. Thank you, Mr. Shaoqing. Why don't you come here first tonight."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhu was half disabled, and I don't know how much time had passed. No wonder Lord Yu looked tired just now, and his tone was a little weak.
Shang Fu quickly took a sip of cold tea and stood up to say goodbye.
"I have benefited a lot today. If Sir Shaoqing has nothing to do recently, could you please tell me more about these court affairs every day?"
"Naturally," Shang Fu couldn't hide his smile. Being able to be Lord Yu's teacher is a dream come true.
In the next few days, Shang Fu was lazy. Every day before dawn, he tidied up with great interest and went to look for Yu Qiansi. No one else knew what the two of them did while sitting together.
, but more than one person saw that Shang Fu often came out of Yuqiansi's yard when it was almost dark.
As for Yu Qiansi, except for consulting Wang Song and administering acupuncture, she also stayed in her small courtyard. Not to mention the courtiers who were secretly watching her, even the people in charge of the punishment department had rarely seen her.
The group of courtiers lived in this villa and were "protected" by the Imperial Guards. They had no contact with the outside world at all. Naturally, they could only stay together every day and closely watch every move of the Duke of Qi and the Criminal Division.
But as a few days passed, Yu Qiansi didn't look like he was bothering to find the whereabouts of the saint, which made them even more worried about the plans of the Duke of Qi.
Even though Shang Fu leaves early every day and comes home late every day, he still hears the rumors.
On the ninth day, he arrived at Yu Qiansi's residence early as agreed, but stood at the door hesitant.
"Master Jade, I still feel like coming to you every day like this... you don't know how those old immortals chew your tongue!"
Those people who should be respected as his uncles kept talking about courtesy and integrity, but they closed their eyes and opened their mouths to casually slander the innocence of women, which was really disgusting to him.
This was not the first time he had talked about this with Yu Qiansi, but Yu Qiansi smiled disdainfully as always, as if the protagonist of these rumors had nothing to do with her.
"Sir Shaoqing is the most dandy in the capital. How can he worry about such nonsense as 'women's reputation'?"
It was rare for Shang Fu to hear her careless remarks like these, so he blushed at first and muttered: "You...you are a noble girl. No matter how bad I do, I will never bully a girl from a famous family."
Yu Qiansi's eyes gradually turned cold: "Master Shaoqing, this is wrong. I am not a noble girl."
"But you are from the Yu family, which is one of the four major families -"
"——The Yu family only practices medicine to save people. No matter how many people I save, I am just a doctor in the eyes of the world. I am only a middle-class doctor and cannot reach a noble daughter. I don't value these because I am who I am.
, has nothing to do with identity, and has nothing to do with others.”
If you walk upright and sit upright, what do you have to fear? There is no need to live or die just because of a few idle words.
"Lord Shaoqing, for the sake of how many days you have taught me, I will remind you one last time. Don't act out your romantic drama in front of me."
In the past few days, Shang Fu had become familiar with Yu Qiansi, who was sitting silently aside, closing his eyes and memorizing, so his mind became confused for a moment and he spoke indiscriminately.
When he heard Yu Qiansi's suddenly cold tone, he suddenly came back to his senses.
This is Yu Qiansi, not one of those women he can tease and show off at will.
Although she is from the Yu family, everything she has now is obtained by relying on her own intelligence. She has never relied on her own identity. He also heard that Yu Qiansi has a good relationship with the pipa girl Yayin, and he never cares about it.
Status, fame and other worldly things.
And he used his "identity" as a basis to deceive her into treating her as one of those women in the boudoir in a moment of enthusiasm. What is the difference between breaking her wrists in Lingyun Pavilion that day?
Really looking for death!
"Yu... Lord Yu, I... was wrong." Shang Fu panicked, his mind became alert, and he quickly swallowed up all the excuses and only apologized sincerely.
Yu Qiansi waved her hand lightly, still calm and calm: "No problem." Just like throwing five coins to the beggar on the street, calm and calm, without any ripples.
"You have worked hard these days, Mr. Shaoqing."
Shang Fu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Where is it?"
Strangely enough, although Yu Qiansi said he was "learning" from him, he never restricted what he could say. He even allowed him to speak whatever he thought of.
The secrets of aristocratic families, the gossips of various clans, the outdated interpersonal relationships between various families, and the gossips in the court. She never interrupted herself, but just stood quietly by the window, feeling the universe in the jade and listening to his noises.
Sometimes I stare at the broken wood outside the window in a daze, and sometimes I frown lightly, as if thinking about something.
Just when he thought Yu Qiansi was just here to amuse him with nothing to do, he could always hear her asking some pointed questions.
Every time at this time, he had to admire Yu Qiansi's high level of understanding. In the first two or three days, she always frowned and had no idea about the intricate relationships in the court, but within two or three days, she could quickly grasp the details.
,learn by analogy.
But he still had no idea.
When she thought of those courtiers staring at her eagerly, including her useless brother.
Today is the ninth day, why is she not in a hurry?
"Lord Shaoqing?" Yu Qiansi frowned when she saw Shang Fu looking like he was in a daze.
"If you are tired, come here first today."
"I'm sorry, Lord Yu!" Shang Fu was brought back to his thoughts by Qingyue's voice and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm just... a little worried. It's already the ninth day and brother Boyi hasn't come back yet. Are you really not worried about the saint?"
Not to mention the group of veterans, who were originally worried that this was a trap by the Duke of Qi, and wanted to imprison the courtiers here for future retaliation. Therefore, the veterans have been more cautious these days, not daring to contact the outside world at all, and all looking forward to tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he drew the Imperial Guards who were now taking orders from Yu Qiansi to his side.
He heard that someone had already contacted the Imperial Guards privately.
Now that the Duke of Qi is able to control everyone, it is simply because the Imperial Guards trust Yu Qiansi. If the saint cannot be found tomorrow, there is no guarantee that the Imperial Guards will not defect.
Shang Fu was burning with anxiety, but Yu Qiansi was just as usual, leaning against the window and looking at the world out of boredom. It was as if this urgent matter had nothing to do with her.
"Master Yu, this is no joke? If Brother Boyi doesn't come back -"
"——Sir!" Suan Zhuo jumped into the yard panting, interrupting Shang Fu, with an unspeakable joy on his face.
When Yu Qiansi heard the turbid and light tone, she clenched her right hand into a fist and stopped the movement of the world in Yuli. She slowly opened her eyes, her light eyes overflowing with light, which made the yard that was desolate in winter look a little more spring-like.
She chuckled: "Back?"
Suan Zhuo nodded heavily, and the huge stone hanging in his heart slowly fell to the ground with the sound of his heartbeat.
"Brother Boyi is driving a carriage towards Bieyuan!"
