Her sadness and worries are temporary, but her happiness and optimism are long-lasting.
She sat in Xi Lanting's courtyard, flipping through his books, feeling extremely quiet in her heart.
As she watched, Yun Qiao felt that she suddenly understood.
This feeling was inexplicable, it came out of the blue, and she seemed to understand the expression in the book.
Those weird words seemed to record the weather and wind direction on a certain day, followed by annotations, followed by a string of illogical words, much like the secret spells my grandma had recited.
Yun Qiao was suspicious.
Fortunately, she has a good memory.
Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Yun Qiao wrote down this paragraph and then closed Xi Lanting's book.
She stood in front of the window and recalled what was recorded in the book: "The breeze blowing over the eyebrows relieves the fever."
Then she used that inexplicable secret spell.
There was no response at first, but she persevered in reciting, and when her voice became clearer and clearer, a sudden gust of wind blew up in the quiet morning.
The wind was not strong, blowing across his forehead and ruffling Yun Qiao's hair.
The wind is cool and constant.
She was stunned for a moment, then her mind buzzed, her body seemed to lose control, and she collapsed to the ground.
Xi Lanting went to the Governor's Mansion today.
Recently, the Governor's Office has encountered some difficulties - there are signs that things will change in Peiping. The President wants to reorganize the Ministry of War and abolish the Governor's system.
The President invited Governor Xi to go north.
Governor Xi could have safely handed over the Yancheng garrison to Sheng Yaze, who was his number one confidant. But recently he has become a little worried about Sheng Yaze.
Sheng Yaze's sons were making trouble for Yun Qiao one by one. Governor Xi felt that it was only a matter of time before Master Qi destroyed them.
This man may not be as loyal as before. Even with his approval of the marriage between the Sheng and Jiang clans, Governor Xi began to doubt Sheng Yaze's motives.
"Xiao Qi, you have to help brother." Governor Xi said to Xi Lanting, "No one in our family can lead the army except you. Only if you sit in charge and Sheng Yaze assists you will I feel relieved."
Xi Lanting looked at his fingers, his face expressionless.
His fingertips were white and a little stiff, which was not a good sign.
I wonder what will happen to Yun Qiao?
He was thinking about Yun Qiao, and when he suddenly heard these words, Xi Lanting refused without thinking: "I'm not free."
Governor Xi: "Xiao Qi..."
"You have been leading the army for many years. Do you still lack checks and balances among your subordinates? Since you doubt Sheng Yaze, you should not be suspicious of the people you employ but not the others. You should make plans in advance and take the opportunity to help others come up." Xi Lanting said.
The truth is this, but Governor Xi still hopes that Xi Lanting can help.
If he had a son, he would be in his twenties now and could experience it.
Governor Xi sighed and continued to persuade.
Xi Lanting said, "I can go to Peking for you and handle the matters in Peking for you."
Governor Xi: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. The President invited me to go."
Xi Lanting: "It's up to you, it depends on what you want. If you are sure you can come back, then go."
Governor Xi: "..."
The two brothers discussed it for a while, but the matter had not yet been decided, so Xi Lanting returned to the mansion.
Governor Xi also needs to discuss with his confidants.
Xi Lanting was thinking about these things along the way, and then looked at his hands. He felt that things were slowly getting out of control. Was his ability weakening, or was Yun Qiao too strong?
After returning to Xi Mansion, Xi Zun told him as soon as he entered the door: "Master Qi, Miss Yun Qiao is here. Did she have a fight with Miss Liu at the door?"
"What Miss Liu?" Xi Lanting walked inside.
Xi Zun followed him: "The girl who lives in the second room is Liu Shian's sister. She has a crush on you."
Xi Lanting paused as he crossed the threshold, turned around and said to Xi Zun: "Whenever you say disgusting words in the future, say hello in advance to prevent me from throwing up my lunch."
Xi Zun: "..."
Xi Lanting wanted to ridicule him a few words, but when he saw the person under the window sill, his face suddenly changed.
