Su Peisheng finished cleaning up and did not dare to look up at the emperor's face. He bowed his waist and stepped back in a hurry. When he reached the door, he straightened up slightly and saw the emperor staring at the dragon case in the palace. His eyes were stagnant.
A trace of emptiness.
…
Natural pictures.
It was late at night, and the servant on duty was sitting on the bench in the corridor.
Xiao Fenzi leaned against the wall and remained silent.
Xiao Dazi was preparing tomorrow's breakfast for his master. He came out and poured a bucket of water into the ditch. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Fenzi sitting in the corner of the courtyard under the moonlight, with his eyes closed and his face
It's white to a bit bluish, and it looks like it's quite uncomfortable.
Xiao Dazi was a little worried, so he put down the bucket in his hand, wiped his hands on his sleeves, and then walked over.
When he got closer, he didn't say much and directly raised his hand to touch Xiao Fenzi's forehead.
Xiao Fenzi opened her eyes, saw it was Xiao Dazi, and closed her eyes again.
Xiao Dazi only felt that the place he touched was as hot as coals, and he couldn't help but said anxiously: "No, Fenzi, you have a fever!"
Xiao Fenzi had been feeling a dull pain in her head since she fell into the water. Just when she was about to speak, she felt her throat was swollen and painful. Even swallowing saliva felt like a knife had been placed in her throat.
He was dumb and speechless, and shook his head at Xiao Dazi.
Xiao Dazi rubbed his hands with remorse on his face: "If it were during the day, I could have gone and asked for some Angong Niuhuang Pills and Purple Snow Pills for you, but it happened at night!"
He looked up at the window of his master's room. The lights had been turned off and his master had rested.
Xiao Fenzi raised his head, smiled weakly at Xiao Dazi and said, "I'm fine."
Xiao Dazi shook his head and sighed repeatedly: "It's my fault, it's my fault! When you fell into the water, I should have been the one to make you a bowl of ginger soup."
He paused, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the dining room, and said, "I'm going to cook right now, Fenzi, you wait a while." As he said that, he went to wake up the handy eunuchs to wait on him.
But he was pulled back by Xiao Fenzi.
Xiao Fenzi endured the pain in her throat and whispered: "It's my intention. They are not allowed to come out. It's rare to have a clean night. I will think about my thoughts tonight."
Xiao Dazi was startled, thinking about the fact that the emperor asked him to go to Jiuzhou Qingyan that night, but Xiao Fenzi politely refused, so he said nothing, and then looked at Xiao Fenzi's dry and cracked lips, with faint blood scabs.
Then he shook his head and left.
Not long after Xiao Fenzi leaned against the wall, he felt someone moving in front of his eyes. He thought it was Xiao Dazi coming back, so he didn't open his eyes and just said with a dumb smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine, you can go."
The man didn't speak.
Xiao Fenzi opened her eyes and saw Yiquan.
He asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Yiquan didn't speak, holding something in both hands. At this time, he silently put down the copper kettle in his hand, sat down next to Xiao Fenzi, took another cup, and gently poured a cup of hot water.
The water flowed into the cup, and white steam rose up. Just as Xiao Fenzi was about to take it, Yiquan whispered: "It's hot, wait a minute."
She took turns holding the cup with both hands, swaying it gently, and glanced at Xiao Fenzi through the heat. Suddenly, there was a little water in her eyes and her nose twitched.
Xiao Fenzi raised her hand to hold her forehead, and laughed in a low voice: "Silly girl, don't cry! It's just a little cold. Xiao Dazi was like this just now, and so are you - it seems like you are going to send someone away one by one.
I am like the King of Hell!"
He said, raising his hand to rub the top of Yiquan's head.
Seeing Yiquan being touched on the head by him, he pursed his lips obediently, held back his tears, and looked at himself obediently.
For a moment, Xiao Fenzi remembered what Bixue looked like in the past.
Scenes from the past reappeared in front of his eyes. He closed his eyes silently, forcing himself to expel his thoughts from his mind. He took the handkerchief from his arms and threw it to Yiquan.
Yiquan took the handkerchief and wiped the tears and runny nose on his face. Finally, he whispered: "Brother Fen, today the emperor wants to take you to Jiuzhou Qingyan. How dare you give the emperor too?"
Rejected?"
Before Xiao Fenzi could say anything, Yiquan sniffed her nose and said, "You don't even know that those of us kneeling behind us were almost frightened to death when we heard what you said! We all pinched it for you.
I’m so sweaty! I heard Grandpa Da’s chanting Buddha’s name in a low voice at that time!”
Xiao Fenzi said nothing, put her hands on her knees, and smiled lightly for a while.
Yiquan suddenly asked cautiously: "Brother Fen, you're not really leaving, are you?"
Xiao Fenzi turned to look at her and said slowly: "Don't worry, no matter where I go, if you have any difficulties, you can always come to me."
Yiquan became anxious after hearing these words. Her expression suddenly changed and she almost stood up, but saw Xiaofenzi looking at her with a narrow smile on her face, and then she realized that she had been teased.
Yiquan breathed a sigh of relief, felt relieved, raised his hand to pick up the tea cup, handed it to Xiao Fenzi with both hands, and whispered: "It's not hot anymore, drink more quickly."
Xiao Fenzi took the tea cup.
Yiquan saw that Xiao Fenzi's lips were covered with small cracks, so he dipped his handkerchief in water and whispered: "Brother Fen, please turn your face."
Xiao Fenzi put down the bowl and said, "What?"
As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his lips - it was Yiquan who took the handkerchief, dipped it in warm water, and came over to help him wipe the bloody scab on his lips very seriously.
Her bangs almost brushed his face.
Xiao Fenzi's heart moved and she subconsciously stepped back, but Yiquan gently held his sleeve and whispered: "Don't move!".
Xiao Fenzi saw her wiping carefully with her eyes fixed on her face, her expression extremely focused and serious, but her face was frank.
After a while, Yiquan raised his head, showed him a big smile, and said, "Okay!"
Xiao Fenzi raised her hand, slowly wiped the water droplets from the corner of her mouth, returned the teacup to her, raised her chin, looked at the crescent moon on the sky, her voice became a little stiffer, and she said, "Just go back."
Yiquan was stunned for a moment, bent down, slowly picked up the teapot, and glanced at Xiaofenzi again.
Xiao Fenzi turned his face, did not look at her, and said coldly: "Place it in earlier."
…
After Yiquan left, Xiao Fenzi said to the courtyard: "Come out."
Xiao Dazi walked out slowly carrying ginger soup.
He walked to Xiao Fenzi, sat down and poured the ginger soup into a sea bowl. Seeing the red soup pouring into the bowl and splashing droplets of water, Xiao Dazi pinched his throat and imitated the name Yiquan.
, smiled and said: "Brother Fen has drank so much tea, can he still drink my ginger soup?"
This was a rare joke from him. Xiao Fenzi didn't change her expression and raised her hand to pat his shoulder, knowing that he had seen everything Yiquan did to her.
He picked up the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp without saying a word.
There is also brown sugar in the ginger soup, which is very delicious. The two work together to make a soup. After drinking a bowl, I only feel that my mouth is very sweet, and then a hot and spicy warmth rises from my stomach.
It flows directly into the internal organs.
Xiao Fenzi raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Xiao Dazi and said, "Thank you!"
