Li Chengchen put her feet on his knees and used a handkerchief to clean off the blood stains on them. The three-inch-long scratches were not deep, and he touched her ankles in several places with his palms, but fortunately they were not sprained.

He took another clean veil and gently wiped her hair. Guan Yi was trembling uncontrollably from the cold. He stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms, unconsciously evading the warm touch, and she rubbed against his arms. The cold hand was holding the corner of his clothes, and he wrapped it in his big hand, caressing the hair on her forehead thoughtfully and sighing softly.

Guan Yi slept for a whole day and started to have a fever at night. Li Chengchen stayed by the bed and took care of her all night, but when she woke up, she looked into his tired eyes with fear and helplessness that couldn't be concealed: " Father-in-law, I..."

He took off the cold handkerchief that fell by the pillow and glanced at her quietly: "It's good to rest for two days, I'll help you take leave."

"Yes."

Li Chengchen reached out to touch her forehead, but she turned her head away: "I'm fine, thank you, father-in-law."

His hands froze in mid-air, expressionlessly helped her tuck the corner of the quilt, Guan Yi's mind was in a daze, and he asked cautiously, "Will you kill me?"

"What do you think?" The cold fingertips touched her cheek in a leisurely manner, and there was a smile in the corner of her eyes, which were as cold as frost, gloomy and frightening.

Her eyes were wide open, she looked at him with tears in her eyes and said: "Eunuch, you have to trust me, Empress Li and you...I won't say a word, if you don't like me, I can leave you Far away, I will never bore you, okay?"

His fingers clenched into fists, his joints turned white and made a creaking sound, as if he would sever her neck in the next moment, a thin layer of sweat broke out in the palm of Guan Yi, and he closed his eyes in fear, not feeling it for a long time any movement.

"Seeing is not believing."

She stared blankly at the indigo curtain, feeling pain and grievance for no reason, but it was ridiculous when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't see through him, and she didn't want to know the scheming hidden in the darkness, she couldn't stand him like that She would feel distressed and sad if a cold, arrogant and lonely person bowed his knees to please and flatter her.

She likes him, and faintly feels that he treats her a little differently, a little tenderness, a smile, she wants to lust for more, for this love, she finds that she can give up going out of the palace to accompany him to grow old, but she is so humble It's so insignificant that if it conflicts with his interests, will he kill her?

She didn't see Li Chengchen for two consecutive days, and she slowly let go of her hanging heart. Her ankle was fine, and she simply cleaned up and planned to go to the Linghui Palace to be on duty. Walked in with two packs of snacks.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard that you are sick, Jiang Li and I came to have a look, and thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness." Lu Hai put the snacks on the table, and curled his lips when he saw a few mille-feuilles on the porcelain plate Said, "I'm afraid I can't look down on Shangjing's snacks for the imperial cakes."

"What are you talking about!" Guan Yi opened the paper bag, and there were a few pieces of broken walnut cakes in it, "How is your illness?"

"I invited the doctor from Baicaofang, and I look much better now."

"Really? That would be wonderful."

"I really have to thank Manager Li for this matter." Lu Hai took a piece of rose mille-feuille without politeness, and took a mouthful with satisfaction.

Guan Yi laughed twice and did not answer, Jiang Li asked with a smile: "Twelfth lunar month 22 is your birthday, what gift do you want?"

"It just so happens that the imperial concubine sent someone out of the palace to deliver some things to the Wei Mansion on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. I invite you to go with Huanshu, and I can wander around the capital for the rest of the half day." She was very excited when she mentioned that she was going out of the palace, and handed Jiang Li a piece of rose. Layer Crisp gestured, "I want to buy a hairpin. I've never worn that kind of beautiful hairpin before."

Lu Hai laughed and said, "I thought you knew how to eat."

"Who doesn't love rouge, gouache, ring hairpin and emerald dresses?"

Jiang Li was helping in a soft voice, and when he saw the figure behind the screen, he quickly got up: "See Manager Li."

Lu Hai hadn't finished eating a bite of dim sum, he coughed when he heard the words choked in his throat, Guan Yi lowered his head obediently and smiled: "Elder-in-law, you are back."

"Ah."

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, Li Chengchen looked at Guan Yi coldly, she poured a glass of water to Lu Hai and patted him on the back to help him calm down, seeing that Lu Hai hadn't swallowed the water yet, she slapped her head and thought of something. The teacup was snatched back again: "Lu Hai, isn't there still work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It's getting late, don't miss the errand."

The father-in-law doesn't like others to use the tea set in the house, and she dared to commit crimes under his nose. Why is there so much bad luck recently? Shouldn't she pray to God and pray for blessings?

"Guan Yi, I haven't personally thanked Mr. Li yet."

"Elder-in-law, rest well, I'm going to be on duty at Linghui Palace."

Jiang Li obediently let her pull her out, looked back and forth between the two of them, and revealed a smile with a deep meaning, whispering: "Have you had a fight?"

"Let's go."

After leaving the yard, Jiang Li blinked and joked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"What would you do if your cousin liked another woman?"

"Ask him to find out. If he really doesn't like me anymore, I can die as soon as possible." Jiang Li smiled lightly and shook his head, "My cousin, that nerd, only thinks about reading books and investigating cases. , Hua Qian Yue Xia really made things difficult for him."

"Oh." The father-in-law seems to only have books in his eyes, and he is even stingy with a smile, but she doesn't have the guts to ask what is the relationship between him and the concubine Li. She is very confused now, so let's talk about it in two days!

Xiao Zhe spent most of her time in Tenglong Pavilion during her busy days. She was on duty in Linghui Pavilion for several days and never saw Li Chengchen again. I thought about a lot of things and didn't seem to remember what I thought.

"It's cool on the ground." Xiao Jing, dressed in blue and jade crown, handsome and handsome, threw a cushion to her, raised his eyes and said, "The preface to Su Xi's collection is waiting for you."

The preface of Su Xi's collection?How did she forget?Her Royal Highness has forgotten everything that the Crown Prince explained, but how dare she ask him for an article now?Until now, she didn't know what the so-called Su Xi's preface looked like.

Xiao Jing leaned down and looked at her frowning face and said in relief: "I can afford to wait for a year and a half."

what!A year and a half?This... what a difficult task this must be!She turned her head and smiled at him: "Your Highness, don't embarrass your slaves."

"This king knows it's a bit embarrassing. After all, Director Li only wrote it once, and he was taken into Tenglong Pavilion by his father. But you are different. Didn't you and Director Li form a pair to eat? The love of husband and wife, the meaning of sleeping together , there is still hope."

"Who... who said that?"

"Everyone in the palace knows it!" Xiao Jing looked at her shocked appearance in surprise and said, "Don't be embarrassed, this is not a rare thing in the palace."

"His Royal Highness, you have misunderstood, servant girl and father-in-law..."

Xiao Jing's hand behind his back suddenly reached out to her and handed her a bag of things wrapped in lotus leaves: "Aunt Guanyi, a gentleman can't be followed by a word, but you have promised me, and you are not allowed to go back on my word. I even left a pack of cherries for you."

Gentleman?horse?What's the meaning?She looked at the green lotus leaves in her hand, and eating cherries in winter was too...too extravagant, let's keep it for her father-in-law!She didn't dare not to do what His Royal Highness told her.

"His Royal Highness, can I ask you a question?"

"You said."

"What does it mean to be elegant and quiet, rich in poetry and books, intelligent and moderate?"

Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows and glanced at her: "This king has explained to you too much and you may not be able to understand. She is a woman like a concubine."

ah?This requirement is too high!However, thinking about it this way, Empress Li seems to have nothing to do with these twelve characters, and she feels much better.

"My servant thanked His Highness the Crown Prince."

I haven't seen him for a few days, but she really misses him a little. What is she going to say to him?Now thinking of the look in his eyes that day, I still can't help but tremble in my heart, knowing that if he dares to kill her, she dares to ask him if he has someone he likes in his heart.

Thinking wildly, she went the wrong way, looked at the guards patrolling with swords, looked left and right and tiptoed back, inadvertently caught a glimpse of a limping little sparrow under the ancient locust tree, she put down the lotus leaf in her hand, carefully He picked it up: "Did you fall from the tree? I'll take you up."

She tucked the corner of her skirt and climbed up the ancient locust tree. There was a bird's nest made of grass roots and cotton wool on the top of the tree. There were several small sparrows chirping inside. She stretched out her fingers and touched its feathers: "In the future Be good, don't be naughty."

"Girl, what are you doing?"

She looked down, and there was a man in green robe standing with a sword standing under the tree, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and straight figure, with his hands folded on his chest, looking at her guardedly, wouldn't he regard her as an assassin?

Guan Yi hurriedly climbed down from the tree: "My lord, I just sent the fallen sparrow up."

"I saw you as a girl climbing so high that I was worried that you would fall."

"It's okay, I used to climb a lot when I was a child."

"What's your name?" When he smiled, his brows were bright like the sunlight passing through the ancient locust tree.

"Little sparrow."

She pointed to the sparrow on the tree and told a lie without blushing. It is best to be careful not to get burned if something happens. She took a sneak peek at his green robe, which didn't seem to have any special decorations on it. It should not be a high-ranking official, but probably a small guard.

"Little sparrow? Sparrow. I'm Qiyun in Xiajiang. I'm not an adult. Just call me Qiyun." He picked up the lotus leaf on the ground and opened it, "Cherry?"

"Well, the master rewarded it." You don't suspect that there is poison in it?Guan Yi twisted one and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up, the sweet and sour taste was really delicious, "Big... Do you try it?"
