In the small garden in the dark night, the two of them stood holding hands, with only the sound of the gurgling water under their feet harmonizing with each other.
A gust of warm wind blew through, making a pleasant sound among the rocks on the rockery.
After a long time, Yu Qiansi loosened three fingers, and Su Niang quickly handed over her other hand.
Yu Qiansi listened attentively for a while and looked at Su Niang's expression.
Su Niang lowered her head for some unknown reason.
"After the girl came to the side hall, did she take anything?"
Su Niang was startled and shook her head repeatedly, with some fear: "I haven't taken anything..."
"Girl, don't worry," Yu Qiansi smiled and retracted her hand: "On the way to the imperial mausoleum, I just saw that your face was not smooth and you had a faint look of illness. But your pulse was normal, I thought you had used some supplements.
"
"That's it. Thank you, Mr. Yu." Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her eyes with a hint of self-deprecation: "His Majesty ordered someone to send a bowl of porridge earlier. I can't taste whether it's good or bad. Maybe it's inside
Let’s take some supplements.”
"That's good," Yu Qiansi nodded vaguely and suddenly stepped past Su Niang and went around behind the rockery.
Su Niang was startled and quickly followed her.
In the exquisite hexagonal pavilion behind the rockery, there is only one pot and one cup.
Yu Qiansi walked over, picked up the tea cup and sniffed: "Is the girl sipping tea to the moon?"
Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Yu Qiansi, holding up the hem of her skirt.
"This is what your Majesty gave you today. I had no taste in my mouth and couldn't sleep, so I brewed it and drank it. Master Yu, do you want to try it?"
After saying this, Su Niang glanced at the stone table and found that there was only one cup on the table. She felt that she had said something wrong and apologized repeatedly: "It was my carelessness. I will definitely deliver it to your residence tomorrow."
"No need," Yu Qiansi put the tea cup back to its original place according to the watermark on the table, and turned the rim of the cup.
When I moved my slender fingers away, the teacup seemed to have never been touched.
"I can't taste good tea, so these things would be a waste for me."
Yu Qiansi looked at the darkness behind the rockery, and then smiled and saluted: "The imperial mausoleum is exquisite and unique, and the climate is pleasant. If you have time, girl, you might as well walk around with me more, it will definitely be much more comfortable than being bored in this room.
"
Su Niang was slightly surprised. Walking around was a good way to relax, but why should he follow her?
Before she could come back to her senses, she was stunned by Yu Qiansi's Qiuyue starry smile, and nodded blankly.
Yu Qiansi was very satisfied and resigned calmly.
It was a quiet night, and everyone had taken a rest. The only sounds left were a few sleepy murmurs of the owl and the subtle sounds of Yu Qiansi walking on the footpath in the garden.
When she checked the young master's pulse this morning, she also inquired about Su Niang's identity verification.
But according to the news from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Su Niang has not yet received the photo ID issued by the New Deal. Now that things are urgent, we can only find out that her parents are both dead. It is true, but they moved to the village about ten years ago.
migrant households. As for the others, they have not yet been identified.
Nowadays, this woman who has no relatives is arguing with others in the middle of the night in the imperial mausoleum thousands of miles away. It is really interesting.
Standing in front of the courtyard door, Yu Qiansi turned around and looked at the way he came.
The Lan family is in trouble, Su Niang's life experience is a mystery, and there is also a brooding little emperor.
She lowered her head and smiled, then closed the courtyard door and fell into a deep sleep.
The hard work on the road was indeed the most grueling. Even though she was full of questions, Yu Qiansi still had a rare good sleep. It was not until noon on the second day that she woke up leisurely.
Wang Song thought he knew that she had been attacking for most of the night last night, so he found an excuse for her to cover up.
These complicated rituals had nothing to do with women, so the courtiers turned a blind eye and ignored her absence.
She slept until three o'clock in the morning, and all the reasons for raising the punishment department naturally fell on Boyi's shoulders.
By the time he settled everything and came to Yuqiansi with food, it was almost late.
Yu Qiansi leaned against the window, her face pale. Seeing Boyi taking the food box, she said feebly: "You're here, you almost starved to death."
"Didn't I give you snacks? Why don't you eat some? If you are hungry for a long time, you will have stomachache again."
While complaining, Boyi opened the food box, and various aromas rushed out impatiently: "Why don't you go ahead and ask someone to make some food for you when you are hungry? If I don't come, you will just carry it like this?"
"You finished the dried meat not long after you left." Yu Qiansi moved to the table with his head lowered and took the freshly cleaned bamboo chopsticks from Boyi's hand.
"It was already past dinner time when I woke up. This place is too remote and I really don't have the energy to walk there."
"Then you just carry it like this?" Boyi still had a stern face and frowned, but seeing that she was eating in a hurry, he couldn't help but give her a cup of hot tea.
Yu Qiansi smiled brightly and took the hot tea, showing a rare coquettish look: "I don't think you will ignore the safety of your master."
Boyi saw her blinking at him with a pair of wet eyes, like a playful kitten that had been soaked in a warm spring rain. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and raised the corners of his mouth.
However, his eyes are forced to be serious and nondescript.
Yu Qiansi was so amused that she laughed out loud. She looked like a satisfied cat and sat contentedly in the corner, following the warm sun.
"Let's get down to business." Boyi touched his nose and cleared his throat: "When do you plan to get down to business?"
Yu Qiansi took a sip of hot tea, the temperature was just right to warm her stomach.
He raised his eyes again, and the amusement in his eyes was gone.
She held the cup in her right hand, her green index finger lightly clasping the rim of the cup, and the world in the sky rotated in circles.
"It's easy to do it. I just want to kill two birds with one stone."
The people who threatened them in the capital were naturally not so naive as to think that the two of them would just obediently escort His Majesty to the imperial mausoleum and do nothing.
It is bound to keep a close eye on them.
Boyi stood in front of the window, looking at the dangerous green mountains that were pressing in front of him.
The warm breeze blows on your face, giving you the illusion that it's still spring.
Even in the desolate northwest, there are always four distinct seasons.
He didn't like the weather that lasted four seasons, and the vegetation was extremely delicate and difficult to withstand wind and frost.
"I noticed last night that there was a tail behind me."
"So, I already thought of a way last night." Yu Qiansi recalled everything last night and smiled brightly.
"They are sure that we will secretly enter the imperial mausoleum to inspect it, so naturally we can't hide it. But since we can't hide it, why not let them 'witness it with their own eyes'!"
"What's the 'witness with your own eyes' method?" Boyi was curious.
Yu Qiansi hooked her fingers at him, and Boyi leaned over.
"Please tell me in detail all the emperor's arrangements during the past half month."
"This is simple." Boyi lifted the corner of his robe and sat down, pouring himself another cup of tea.
According to the ancestral teachings of Dasheng, the emperor must fast for fifteen days after self-examination, choose an auspicious day to burn incense and bathe, then walk up the mountain on his knees, and go to the temple on the top of the mountain to punish his sins and leave the emperor's blood on the top of the mountain as a punishment.
