Afterword

After hearing that Xiang Shuang's breathing had stabilized, Qi Qing went out to meet the supervisor of the northern racecourse who had been waiting outside the door. After listening to him report on the recent situation of the racecourse, he ordered a few more words before returning to the house.

Not long after Xiang Shuang sat down beside the bed, she heard a thumping sound at the window. She walked to the window, and it turned out that there were two carrier pigeons, but why were there two?

She took off the paper strip tied to the pigeon's leg, opened one of the black paper-wrapped gold-edged ones, and saw that there were flying dragons and phoenixes written in it: I read it very much, come back soon.

Sure enough, it was Qianmo's style, the letter paper was so flamboyant, she let the pigeon go, and didn't plan to go back to her, even if she went back, she would have to wait until Xiang Shuang's health improved.

She opened another piece of paper, and saw that the handwriting was strong and powerful, but the content was shocking: If you want to make love, hope to return soon.

Qi Qing frowned, this must have been written by Zhong Kun, but if it was a marriage... would he marry the princess from Xiqi or someone from the Luo family?Besides, if there were any rumors in the palace, Qianmo must know about it, but she didn't mention it in the letter, she is not a person with emotions, so could it be said that the news in the palace hasn't circulated yet?

Qi Qing took a pen and wrote a reply to Zhong Kun, tied it to the pigeon's leg and put it back.

Standing in front of the window, she looked at Xiang Shuang who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and sighed in her heart, something big is going to happen in the palace, she must rush back, no one will be left...

About Zhusi, Xiang Shuang woke up, and Qi Qing fed the hot porridge and medicine to the man, not knowing how to tell her about it.

Xiang Shuang is not stupid, she was adopted by the general when she was nine years old, and after nearly ten years with her, she is familiar with her every frown and thought, let alone her intention to pay attention.

"The general has any difficulties, but it's okay to say, Xiang Shuang will not hold the general back."

Looking at Xiang Shuang's eyes full of sincerity, Qi Qing was even more difficult to speak, but now that the matter is urgent, it's time to say it.

"It's Xiang Shuang like this. I asked Zhong Kun to pay attention to the movement on Xiqi's side. I just got the news that Luo Yunli wanted to get married with Xiqi. As for whether to marry or not, I haven't made it clear yet, but the palace has no idea. There is no news, I think there is something strange about this matter, so..." Qi Qing stumbled in front of Xiang Shuang for the first time, and it was extremely embarrassing.

Xiang Shuang took up Qi Qing's words, "So the general wants to go back to the palace?"

Qi Qing quickly spoke up: "Don't worry, there are my people here, and the supervisor of the racecourse in the west is someone I have placed here, and he will take good care of you."

Xiang Shuang sneered, "No need, when will the general dare to bother the general, the general can just go, don't worry about the general, and don't use other people, the general will take good care of himself." Xiang Shuang also knew at this time I shouldn't be tempered, but my inexplicable grievances quickly swelled after the general's words, and I couldn't help saying such ignorant words.

Qi Qing smiled wryly in her heart. Hearing the man's cold tone, she knew she was angry about this matter. No wonder, after so many years of friendship, plus she suffered such a serious crime because of doing things for herself, but she wanted to be here At this juncture, he withdrew and left. If he were someone else, he might have to break his friendship with him, right?

"Little Shuang, don't be angry", Qi Qing called out the old childhood names of the two of them under the softening, "This place is only two hours away from the imperial city, if you don't care, then go back with me!" It was indeed a bad idea, Xiang Shuang was seriously injured, and she probably couldn't afford to run around at all.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Shuang agreed without thinking, "Okay! There is no need to delay, General, let's go!"

Qi Qing pushed the man down on the bed, "What are you thinking? Now that the matter is decided, there is no need to worry. I will make arrangements first, and you can rest later."

Xiang Shuang saw that the man covered herself with a quilt and filled herself with water, then turned and walked out.

If only it could be like this forever... Hehe, think about it...

Xiang Shuang went to find the old doctor when she left the room, it was much more convenient for them to live in the hospital now.

After asking the old doctor for some ways to recuperate Xiang Shuang's body in the future, she left the hospital. According to the old doctor, Xiang Shuang should not be running around at this time. Qi Qing naturally knew about this, but she had no choice but to Wronged her.

After she went out, she went back to her previous inn, paid the rent and took out the horse she brought, and gave Xiaoer some money to let her lead another stable horse for herself, and went at the bazaar.

It may be because of the festival, the street market is very lively today, she first went to the carpenter's shop, intending to buy a stronger carriage, but found a stall on the road surrounded by a group of people, she is not a person who likes to join in the fun , but he couldn't help but stop when he heard the word "taxation".

Relying on her martial arts skills and her good ears, Qi Qing could hear the conversation clearly even outside the crowd.

An old male voice choked up and said: "My son, he was beaten to death by those powerful dog slaves just like that!"

Another person also cried beside him: "The current taxation is too serious, isn't it killing us?!"

Someone on the side spoke up: "The key is not only to pay taxes, but also to arrest and kill young men if we fail to pay them. Doesn't this make us lose our children and grandchildren?!"

People around followed suit.

Qi Qing was puzzled, there was no one in her household department, she didn't know that the taxes and corvees were so heavy now, she had to find a way, so that the common people could not live a life...

While thinking, she finished picking out the carriage, and went to the nearby cloth shop to buy thick cushions. It was already past time, so she left and returned to the hospital.

When she came back, she saw that Xiang Shuang had woken up and was sitting and looking out the window in a daze.

Qi Qing walked over and put her clothes on the man's shoulders, "What are you thinking about?"

Xiang Shuang just heard the question, God hadn't come back yet, and said casually: "I miss you", after finishing speaking, she quickly realized what she said, and blushed immediately.

Qi Qing smiled, "Are you wondering if I left you behind?" He poured another glass of water and handed it to Xiang Shuang.

That's not true, I'm thinking why you haven't come back... "I drank a lot of water, be careful when I go to the toilet."

It was only then that Qi Qing came to his senses, "Have you not been there yet?" Are you so dehydrated?I haven't been allowed to drink water in those few days. Thinking about this, I feel very distressed.

Xiang Shuang's face turned red again, and she didn't want to discuss this unserious topic with her in a serious manner, so she diverted: "Have you made the arrangements? When are you leaving?"

Qi Qing was still thinking about bringing more water and maybe a chamber pot before leaving for a while. Hearing Xiang Shuang's question, she replied, "You can leave now", and then took out the cup from behind like a magic trick. A cloak, lifted the quilt covering Xiang Shuang's body, and replaced it with a cloak.

Seeing that the man covered her with a cloak, Xiang Shuang wanted to prop herself up on the bed, put on her shoes and get off the ground. She didn't want to be turned around for a while, but she was held in the arms of the man, and when she saw that she wanted to struggle, the man gave her a hand like coaxing a child. For himself, his heart beat like it wasn't his own.

Qi Qing picked up Xiang Shuang, but she didn't notice Xiang Shuang's face was as red as if she had smeared chili peppers on her face. She motioned for the young man who followed behind to pick up the man's shoes and quilt, and then turned around and left the hospital.

After she placed Xiang Shuang firmly on the carriage covered with a thick layer of cushions, she took the quilt and covered the man, said a few words of comfort, and then went to fetch water.

As everyone knows, Xiang Shuang's thoughts on the carriage have already changed a thousand times.

When everything was packed and it was already the end of the day, Qi Qing also got into the carriage after telling the coachman his destination.

Qi Qing leaned the man's head on her shoulder, "If it hurts, pinch me, and sleep if you're sleepy, I'm here."

Xiang Shuang had already slept enough to feel sleepy, not to mention always looking for something to talk about around this person, so the two chatted about the embarrassing things about Guan Li and Zhong Kun, laughing constantly.

……

And in the imperial city, Luo Yunli hadn't felt sleepy since Qi Qing left, opened the small porcelain bottle that man left for her, and smelled a quiet fragrance.

That person, I'm afraid he saw yesterday's dirty self, right?

She doesn't know how she is feeling now, as if she is at a loss when the person she admires the most sees her most miserable side. She is suddenly a little tired, but also a little indifferent.

As if she had figured something out, she put the medicine in her inner pocket, called Qingying, and ordered her to fetch the things she used to embroider, and then started threading.

At this time, Qianmo who was in Feng Fen Palace was even more bored with bugs all over his body.

She asked Zi Yuan countless times, "When will your master come back?"

Looking at Qianmo, who turned into a pool of cartilage and paralyzed on the soft sleeper, Ziyuan suddenly felt a sense of disobedience, but she couldn't help laughing, "Return to Master No. 30 and ask six times, Master is leaving I only told the servants to serve you well, but did not inform you of the return date, and I hope the master will wait patiently."

When it was the same thing again, Qianmo was a little annoyed, "Okay, okay, it's not hard for you, I'll have some fun by myself."

Qianmo left the hall, came to the bedroom where Qi Qing slept yesterday, flung aside the man's quilt, got into the bed and prepared to have a good sleep.

The emperor is also true, marrying her family Qi Qing into the palace and leaving it like this, is it possible that he intends to look at it as a vase?

But this is exactly what she wants, she can't guarantee that if Luo Yunli touches Qi Qing, she won't get mad and kill the emperor, even if it's a regicide.

The smell on Qi Qing's body is really invariable, it's light, cool, a bit like mint, and a bit like jasmine, in short, she likes it very much.
