The most powerful minister in the world

Late at night, the bright moon is in the sky and there are stars.

The evening breeze that blew into my clothes was already bringing with it a chill.

In the house in the west courtyard, Li San was sitting by the bed, holding the sachet that Sister Qiao had given to her and Jing Xi that day in the mountain village.

Her eyes were blurry, as if she had been stuck in memories for a long time and couldn't extricate herself.

It wasn't until she heard a knock on the door that she came back to her senses and asked, "Who is it?"

There was no reply from outside the door. She frowned slightly and stood up, opened the door curtain, and opened the two doors inwards.

In the vast night, Jingxi stood outside the door smelling of alcohol, and the night shadow of the acacia tree in the courtyard shone on his face.

Li San frowned: "Are you too drunk and went to the wrong room?"

Jing Xi's amber eyes stared straight at Li San until she said impatiently: "It's okay if you have something to do. If it's okay, I'm going to sleep."

Just as Li San was about to close the door, Jing Xi suddenly spread his hands and asked, "What is your relationship with our second son?"

A trace of disappointment flashed across Li San's eyebrows. She pushed Jing Xi away and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I'll be leaving early the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that you're here tonight too, so just treat it as farewell."

"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

On the other side, Liu Ningmei was walking out of the corner yard.

"Lian'er, you're in good health. Get some rest quickly. I'm going back to the house to sleep."

Laner came out wearing a brocade blanket and coughing to see her off.

"It's getting colder. It's time for Sister Mei to add another quilt to her room."

"Okay, I don't know when the man who suffered a thousand cuts will come back. Let's make an agreement first. You have just recovered and you won't allow him to act recklessly."

Liu Ningmei's little hand holding the curtain joked: "If he knocks on your door quietly at night, just shout."

Lian'er's little face turned red and she murmured, "Oh, Sister Mei, please stop talking, it's so embarrassing."

"Okay, okay, what's there to be ashamed of? I'm leaving, you..."

"Hey, what are you doing, girl?"

Liu Ningmei was about to go back to the house to sleep when she was suddenly pulled back by the curtain, almost falling to the ground.

The two women hugged each other and stared at each other.

Lian'er: "......"

Liu Ningmei: "......"

You want to ask why the always steady Liang'er suddenly lost his manners?

That's because she saw her young master lying at Li San's door through the faint moonlight.

What if Liu Ningmei saw this? !

"What happened to you girl tonight? You suddenly pulled me back. Do you want me to sleep with you?"

Lian'er nodded without blushing or out of breath.

This caused Liu Ningmei to poke her eyebrows and complain: "I'm afraid that guy who got stabbed a thousand times sneaks into your bed at night and sees me. It's better not to collapse."

Lan'er: "Oh, sister Mei, don't say such things. Lan'er wants to sleep with sister Mei, can't you?"

Seeing Lan'er acting coquettishly, Liu Ningmei curled her lips and smiled: "Okay, okay, it's rare for a girl like you to act coquettishly, so I'll just obey you."

Liang'er danced excitedly and shouted, "Sister Mei is the best."

Unexpectedly, Liu Ningmei suddenly said, "I'll go back to the house to get something. You lay down the bedding first. I'll be here later."

Before Liu Ningmei could turn back, she was hugged tightly by Lan'er.

"???"

Liu Ningmei suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Lian'er.

Xiao Nizi raised her little face guiltily and laughed twice.

The next second, Lian'er's face was pinched by Liu Ningmei.

"Tell me, did you discuss something with the man who was stabbed a thousand times behind my back?"

Lian'er immediately refused: "No, Lian'er is for Sister Mei, how could she stand with the young master!"

"Come on, you two are sleeping on the same bed now. How do I know what you two were discussing on the bedside?"

Lian'er couldn't resist anymore. Fortunately, she caught a glimpse of her young master entering Li San's room with her peripheral vision. She let go of her hand and said with a smile, "Huh~ Sister Mei loosened the belt for young master."

"You girl, you are complaining about me. Why, you don't like your young master?"

The curtain coyly tugged at the edge of the skirt, as delicate and endearing as a blooming lotus.

Liu Ningmei rolled her eyes speechlessly and hit her little head: "I'll be back as soon as I go. Go to bed and warm up the quilt."

Passing by Li San's house, Liu Ningmei stopped inexplicably, which scared the curtains that were lying by the window to look at her.

Liu Ningmei sniffed the air in front of her with her beautiful nose: "Why does it smell like alcohol?"

She put her hands in her sleeves and raised her chin and muttered: "People with unknown origins should leave as soon as possible."

Liu Ningmei, who has always been wary of Li San, except for some irresistible factors, the main reason is that she used all the spies of the Liu family, but she failed to find out any details about Li San.

Seeing Liu Ningmei going back to the house to get something, Lian'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

And Li San was really nervous.

Facing the drunk Jingxi, she couldn't push him away, so she had to pull him in.

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Li San only wore a well-fitting inner garment, and the embroidered shoes on his feet were stepped on randomly.

Jingxi sat on the wooden bench without saying a word for a long time, only looking at Li San with his eyes like open flames.

Jingxi: "How long have we known each other?"

Li San: "It's been half a year, what's wrong?"

"Yes, we have experienced so many things together..."

Li San sat back on the bed and quickly hid the sachet. She tilted her legs slightly, seemingly packing her things, but actually suppressing her emotions.

Suddenly, Li San said coldly: "If, I mean if, you see me in Kyoto, I hope you will pretend that you don't know me. This will be good for you and me."

As soon as Li San finished speaking, Jing Xi had already rushed to her side and grabbed her wrist tightly.

In the room, the gentle light of the red candle flickered, and the two people looked at each other.

Jingxi’s eyebrows were raised: “What kind of relationship do we have?”

Li San shook off his hand and said calmly: "I'm just a passerby on the road of life. It's just that you saved me and I saved you."

"You said you were going to Kyoto?"

Li San tied the baggage in his hand tightly: "It has nothing to do with you."

"Okay, if you want to leave, I won't stop you. Even if it's big in Kyoto, it's too small in Kyoto. I'll go find you."

Li San finally couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart and poured out his words like a flood: "You and I are destined to be in two different worlds. I don't want to have too much entanglement with you. You go!"

"you go!!"

"you go!!!"

Li San pushed Jing Xi towards the door.

There is only a low threshold blocking the inside and outside of the house.

And this threshold, after tonight, is like a chasm, insurmountable.

"I say it one last time, from now on you and I have nothing to do with each other!"

"Bang~!"

The violent slamming of the door closed brought Jingxi back to his senses slightly. He looked up at the stars in the sky and let out a long sigh.

Inside the room, Li San slid down slowly against the door, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

Her hand went to her mouth.

Her heart is about to sink to the ground
