Qiu Yan immediately felt that all her strength had been drained from her body, and she suddenly couldn't breathe.
Her life has always been very simple, and her feelings are straightforward and not delicate. No one has said to her the intense words Xuan Yi said. She was deeply shocked, especially when she said that the miracle doctor and the master's maid together could scare her.
It was broken. This was simply unbelievable. She could not imagine such a thing in her life.
She had never felt this suffocating before. It was really uncomfortable and she was dizzy for a while.
Xuanyi has been obsessed with Prince Yuxian for many years. She can feel Emperor Xuanyi's almost pathological admiration for Cangmiao. Did Prince Yuxian really promise her a jade pendant and an heir?
Qiu Yan's heart ached uncontrollably, as if she had buried a heartache.
I was about to get married, and when I encountered this kind of thing, I felt very uncomfortable.
She took out the little tiger purse she had embroidered all night from her lapel. Now she didn't have the courage to go into the palace to see the man she missed. Perhaps she was afraid of seeing traces of Xuan Yi's master and servant in his house, and she was also afraid that she would be too temperamental.
I asked it rashly because I was afraid of Cangmiao's answer. If it was true, I would be embarrassed if I asked.
My mother adores my father and treats my father's concubines as invisible. My mother never quarrels with my father. My father values my mother the most.
I will pretend that I don’t know about this matter. In this way, the miracle doctor will think highly of me. But I find that this kind of regard is not pleasing to people.
I'm afraid my mother was not really happy. She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she always had sand in her eyes at night. She was the happiest when my father's leg was injured. She took care of him every day, and all his concubines were knocked aside by him.
Went to the hospital.
For the first time, Qiu Yan hid something in her heart. She was so sad that her eyes blurred as she thought about it. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, then put the little tiger purse she had embroidered into her lapel. She tilted her head to the slightly open door.
He opened the door and looked inside the house. In the distance, Cangmiao had just come out of the bath, and her hair was still dripping with water. Qiuyan had more random thoughts.
Qiu Yan walked out of the palace, pressed her stomach, which ached like a spasm, and headed towards the Jinluan Palace to attend the morning court.
inside the house.
Cangmiao had just bathed, wiped his body and put on his inner clothes. Ziqin came over to apply medicine to him and bandaged the wound.
Ziqin packed up the wedding invitations on the table, "Fortunately, with the help of the emperor and Prince Rong, it is faster for three people to copy the invitations than for you to write them alone. The invitations written by the three of you, the emperor and the prince, will have weight. If I write them,
A slave has no weight. It should be written by the three of you, it is so wonderful."
Cangmiao seemed to hear some noises in the courtyard, such as the sound of fallen leaves being stepped on by the soles of shoes, so he walked to the door, held on to the door frame and looked outside. He saw only rockery, green pines, flowing water and stone bridges in the courtyard, but no trace of people. He asked Ziqin:
: "Can you hear who's coming? Is Qiu Yan coming?"
"I didn't hear it." Ziqin shook his head, "Maybe it was the sound of carps jumping up and falling into the water in the carp pond. As soon as there was a sound, you thought it was your Qiu Mei coming. Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the day after tomorrow.
.Soon."
Cangmiao stood in front of the bronze mirror and spread her arms, "Come and change your clothes and comb your hair with me. Today, the eldest lady is going to be awarded the title of Lord Protector. I have to pay attention to it. I promised her to attend her appointment ceremony after she goes to court.
.”
"Yes." After saying that, Ziqin put a python robe on Cangmiao's body, and took care of his hair meticulously. For a moment, he saw his graceful appearance, his face like a crown jade, extremely eye-catching, "Okay,
"Master."
With that said, Ziqin looked for Cangmiao's jade pendant in the clothes he changed out of. After looking for it for a long time, he asked, "Sir, where is your jade pendant? It's one of the few things my wife gave you."
"I was still wearing it when I came back yesterday. Maybe it was tucked away somewhere. You can look for it again."
Ziqin nodded, "Oh, I'll look through it again."
Cangmiao put on the king's hat, straightened the collar, buttoned the sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to court to cure the illness in the court."
***
Qiu Yan walked along the official road to Jinluan Hall. The cramping feeling in her stomach became more and more serious, and the feeling of suffocation in her heart became more and more intense, as if she was ill.
At first I only heard the word "padded" and didn't know what it felt like. But now I taste it, it's bitter.
Qiuyan, cheer up, the Emperor is about to send his troops to the ocean to conquer the overseas territories and expand the territory. As the protector of the country, I have to serve the country. I can't be burdened and collapsed because of Xuan Yi's incident.
She is doing some psychological construction for herself.
However, she didn't succeed in psychological construction. She turned to a small garden on the side of the road for people to rest, and sat on the edge of a flower bed to avoid people, covering her heart, her lips were pale, her body was slightly curled up, her eyes were
There were some tears in it, but they didn't fall.
She warned herself that she could not imagine the scene of King Yuxian playing with the two beauties, but these scenes kept popping up, like blurry silhouettes, and she could not get a glimpse of the truth, which only made her heart more and more sad.
"Qiu Yan?" Tong Han passed by here and saw Qiu Yan standing on the flower bed from the corner of his eye, looking haggard, so he walked over and stood in front of Qiu Yan, "Why are you crying?"
Qiu Yan quickly wiped her eyes and glanced at Tong Han, "Hey, here comes another one who doesn't like me. I'm particularly unlucky today. I don't have the courage to meet people I want to see, and people I don't want to see come one after another. She dismissed them hastily: "
I'm fine."
She looked at Tong Han. He was still wearing the dark blue robe he wore when he sat on the threshold of her house last night. When he saw her, his eyes were obviously happy, but she felt ironic about this.
"I went to your house to pick you up in the morning. I originally planned to go to court with you. But the servant outside your house said that you left home at midnight." Tong Han said he was quite disappointed, "We used to go to court together every day.
We set off at 2:00, walked to the palace, passed the morning tea shop at the entrance of Zhengfu Street, had some breakfast, and arrived at the palace at 3:00, just in time for the morning court meeting."
Qiu Yan had something on her mind and didn't want to listen to Tong Han's reminiscences about the past. She also hated him very much and would turn against his family in the morning. "Stop talking about it. What's the point of saying this? I don't want to hear it."
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Tong Han took out a snack box from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Yan, "You get up late on weekdays and always leave home in a hurry without breakfast. I bought you from the morning tea shop in the street.
I love eating siomai. Because there are so many people queuing up to wait for siomai on weekdays, I never let you queue up to wait for siomai for fear of being late in the morning. Today I queued up to buy it for you, Qiu Yan."
Qiu Yan looked at the carefully crafted siomai and the wounds on Tong Han's finger joints caused by hitting the tree trunk last night. The wounds were deep and shocking. Qiu Yan said numbly: "I feel sick to my stomach and can't eat.
Even if I can eat it, I won’t eat what you bought. You refused to let me eat it before, but now you give it to me, but I don’t want it anymore. Take it away.”
Tong Han stretched his hand in the air for a moment, then placed the siomai on the flower bed, and then retracted his hand. He was trying to do many things that he had not had the patience to do with her in the past, but it was too late, "Yan'er, maybe
This is the last time I go to court with you, can you accompany me and walk this official road for the last time?"
Qiu Yan raised her eyes and looked at him, about to refuse.
Then I heard a gentle yet angry voice coming from the official road, "She won't go down this official road with you. She has a husband!"
At the archway surrounded by flowers and vines, the man stood there in a python robe, like a drizzle in April, which made people's hearts soften. It was King Yu Xian who had arrived in Cangmiao.
When Qiuyan heard Cangmiao's voice, she felt happy and depressed at the same time. I have such complicated emotions, and I am not like myself anymore. It turns out that I can be happy and feel pain in my heart at the same time for the same person.
Hard to leave behind.
"Sir, you are here." Tong Han walked to Cangmiao. After a night, he calmed down a lot. He handed over Qiu Yan to her with his own hands. "She didn't eat breakfast and her stomach seemed to be uncomfortable. I resigned."
.”
Cangmiao chuckled, "See you later."
Tong Han's shoulders shook, and he walked out of the small garden and walked onto the official road. He and Qiu Yan had been eligible to enter the Jinluan Palace since they were twenty years old. They had gone to court together every day for five years. Today, he walked this road alone for the first time. It turned out that he had not
I feel so lonely when Qiu Yan is with me. I used to dislike her for walking slowly, but now I don't dislike her anymore because I don't have her to accompany me anymore.
Tong Changtuo strode over from there, grabbed his depressed son, and said through gritted teeth: "I and you will lose your official hat. If you don't go home all night, you are going crazy! What on earth are you thinking!"
"
Tong Han looked at his father, the man who taught him that men are neither poisonous nor husbands. He smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I'm thinking about Qiu Yan."
"Trash! What's the use of thinking about women! Women are nothing compared to their future."
"Dad, why do you always beat my mother? Why is my mother still devoted to you despite being beaten so many times? This is misleading. Misleading me." Tong Han said with red eyes.
Tong Changtuo couldn't understand what evil words his son was talking about, so he just pulled his son in a corner and said, "When I go to court in a while, you will do a terrible job for me and look at my eyes. All you have to do is insist that you are innocent and it is Qiu."
That little goblin Yan has seduced King Yuxian and is the one who framed you! Her motivation is because she clings to the rich and powerful! Abandon you, a rotten husband! Did you hear me!"
Tong Han felt pain in his heart. This is my father. He twisted the truth, pursued fame and fortune, and trained me into a villain step by step. My father, "I understand, Dad."
Tong Changtuo nodded, "Good son! Remember, as long as a man has status and power, there is no woman he cannot get!"
Tong Han licked his lips and said, "Yes. Let's go, Dad, and enter the Jinluan Palace. The two of us will try to be the first to enter the palace and behave well in front of the emperor."
Tong Changtuo didn't hear the despair and sarcasm in his son's words, so he stroked his beard and said, "This is the right thing to do."
After saying that, he took his beloved son with him to the court and entered the Golden Palace.
Cangmiao stood for a moment at the archway surrounded by flowers, and then walked slowly to Qiu Yan. She curled up slightly, holding his heart inexplicably.
Qiu Yan suddenly became nervous. She was not good at hiding her worries. His eyes when he looked at her were still the same gentle and affectionate. Except that he no longer had the jade pendant around his waist, nothing else was different. She called her "Master" and then
She smiled sweetly and showed her little fangs. He liked to see her smile. Every time she showed her fangs, his eyes were particularly soft. She liked his gentle eyes.
Cangmiao pinched her chin and lifted her cheek up. Her eyes were red and her face looked pitiful. He was heartbroken, "Her eyes are red. Did Tong Han bully you again?"
Qiu Yan took a look at Cangmiao's empty belt where the jade pendant used to be. She kept the secret in her heart and nodded, "I don't want to see him."
"Um."
"Master, are you feeling better? Does the wound still hurt?" Qiu Yan saw that his lips were still white, she was concerned about his body and asked softly, "Did you take the medicine on time?"
Cangmiao felt warm in her heart and sat down next to her, "It's much better. I applied medicine before coming out."
"Um."
"You entered the palace at nine o'clock today. You came early." Cangmiao said, holding Qiu Yan's hand and gently stroking her fingers that were not delicate. She hissed and withdrew her hand.
Cangmiao looked down at her hand and saw that it was densely covered with red spots. "Why are there so many needle wounds on my hand? It's quite swollen."
Qiu Yan's face felt slightly warm. She took out the purse she had embroidered from the lapel of her clothes and handed it to Cangmiao. "Last night you said that for your childhood birthday, the Queen Mother would embroider a purse for the emperor, and Concubine Wu would embroider a purse for Prince Rong. You
I want one too. I learned embroidery from my mother last night, and I embroidered a purse for you."
Cangmiao's heart moved, and she took the wrinkled and messy purse from Qiu Yan's hand, then took her hands and looked at the red marks carefully, "These injuries were caused by needle pricks during embroidery.
?”
Qiu Yan nodded, "My mother has been very angry with me several times. I am not good at using needle and thread. I am not good at embroidery. I know that I cannot compare with your mother's embroidery skills, but...but I also hope
You have a purse...well..."
As Qiu Yan was talking, she felt her body tighten, and she was brought into his arms by Cang Miao. She was surrounded by his breath, and she felt so at ease. Of course, she was so at ease with her peace of mind that she was stabbed by Xuan Yi's words.
Cangmiao gently placed his chin on her neck and said warmly: "I like it, I like it very much. This puppy purse is very cute."
Qiu Yan stiffened and let her gaze go. She looked at his empty belt that no longer had the jade pendant hanging on it. She snuggled into his chest, and after a long while she said sheepishly: "Actually, it's not a puppy... it's a little tiger.
.”
Cangmiao: "..." I won't get my engagement broken off because of this, right! I really... I really didn't see that he was a little tiger, so I blame myself.
After all, Qiuyan's hands were red with embroidery that she had worked hard to embroider all night long. She said "little dog" to her, which seemed to make her already pale face lose some of its color. She was different today, she was extraordinarily docile, and she had lost some of her spirituality and innocence.
